A safety helmet is considered the last gear to protect workers from harmful and dangerous events occurring on industrial sites. Recently, interest in the importance of personal protective equipment design reflecting individual characteristics has been emphasized to improve usability and convenience. However, it has been found that if it is inconvenient to wear or has poor work efficiency, it will not be used well or will be used incorrectly. In this study, an investigation was performed with 35 questions, direct observation, and intensive interviews of construction workers to determine the inconvenience and problems of wearing safety helmets. Moreover, managers of 9 construction sites in 6 cities were asked about the performance and design of safety helmets. As a positive answer, it was found that the brim (awning) of the safety helmet was shortened to give the safety glasses a light-shielding function. In addition, an upward adjustment all-in-one type safety helmet was requested. On the other hand, it was revealed that negative answers felt uncomfortable due to the brim (awning) on the front of the helmet. Based on the survey results, a new helmet model suitable for construction site activities was presented, and wearability improvement determinants were discovered through performance and design improvement.

KITECH and ODS performed a study of internal and external noise prediction of the Korean high speed prototype test train(HSR 350X). The object of this study was 3 kinds of cars, trailer car(TT2), motorized car(TMI ) and power car(TPI) and the predicted noise was for the two different driving speeds in free field and tunnel conditions. Data of carbody design and noise sources were delivered from manufactures. Some of noise sources which were not available in the project team, were chosen by experiences of ODS. Internal noise level of each car was predicted for two cases i.e, at 300 km/h and 350 km/h. In addition sound transmission path and dominant noise sources were also investigated for each section of the car, which is circular shell typed part of whole carbody. In case of TT2, the dominating sound transmission path is the (floor in terms of structure-borne noise and air-borne noise. The main noise sources are structure-borne noise from the yaw-damper and air-borne noise from the wheel/rail contact, whereas the dominating sound transmission path of TMI are floor and sidewall below the window in terms of structure-borne noise. The main noise sources of TMI are structure-borne noise from motor/gear unit and the yaw-damper in the free field, and air-borne noise from the wheel/rail contact and structure-borne noise from motor/gear unit in the tunnel. Through the external noise prediction for the KHST test train formation, the noise form the wheel/rail contact is estimated as one of the major sources. In addition, the noise specification of sub-component was proposed for managing each sub-surpplier to reach the KHST noise requirement. The specification provide the sound power of machinery part and transmission loss of component of carbody structure. The predicted noise level in each case exceeded the required limit. Through this study, the noise characteristics of the test train were investigated by simulation, and then the actual test will be performed in near future. Both measured and calculated data will be compared and further work for noise reduction will be continued.

Investigations of the commercial aircraft impact effect on nuclear island infrastructures have been drawing extensive attention, and this paper aims to perform the safety assessment of Generation III nuclear power plant (NPP) buildings subjected to typical commercial aircrafts crash. At present Part III, the local damage of the rigid components of aircraft, e.g., engine and landing gear, impacting the steel concrete (SC) structures of NPP containment is mainly discussed. Two typical SC target panels with the thicknesses of 40 mm and 100 mm, as well as the steel cylindrical projectile with a mass of 2.15 kg and a diameter of 80 mm are fabricated. By using a large-caliber air gas gun, both the projectile penetration and perforation test are conducted, in which the striking velocities were ranged from 96 m/s to 157 m/s. The bulging velocity and the maximal deflection of rear steel plate, as well as penetration depth of projectile are derived, and the local deformation and failure modes of SC panels are assessed experimentally. Then, the commercial finite element program LS-DYNA is utilized to perform the numerical simulations, by comparisons with the experimental and simulated projectile impact process and SC panel damage, the numerical algorithm, constitutive models and the corresponding parameters are verified. The present work can provide helpful references for the evaluation of the local impact resistance of NPP buildings against the aircraft engine.

IMO introduced e-Navigation concept to improve the efficiency of ship operation, port operation, and ship navigation technology. IMO proposed sixteen MSPs (Maritime Service Portfolio) applicable to the ships and onshore in case of e-Navigation implementation. In order to meet the demands of the international society, the system implementation work for the Korean e-Navigation has been specified. The Korean e-Navigation system has five service categories: the S2 service category, which is a ship anomaly monitoring service, is a service that classifies emergency levels according to the degree of abnormal condition when a ship has an abnormality in ship operation, and provides guidance for emergency situations. The navigation safety module is a sub-module of the S2 service that determines the emergency level in case of navigation equipment malfunctioning, engine or steering gear failure during navigation. It provides emergency response guidance based on emergency level to the abnormal ship. If an abnormal condition occurs during the ship operation, first, the ship shall determine the emergency level, according to the degree of abnormality of the ship. Second, an emergency response guidance is generated based on the determined emergency level, and the guidance is transmitted to the ship, which helps the navigators prevent accidents and not to spread. In this study, the operational concept for the implementation of the Korean e-Navigation system is designed and the concept is focused on the navigation safety module of S2 service.

최근 풍력발전은 전 세계적으로 전기의 생산을 위해 사용되는 신재생 에너지원 중 가장 빨리 성장하고 있는 분야이다. 일반적으로 풍력발전 시스템은 설치 후 약 20년 동안 사용될 수 있도록 설계되며 따라서 장기간 운전할 경우, 풍력 발전기에서의 고장은 필연적으로 발생하게 된다. 특히 풍력발전 시스템의 너셀 내부에는 로터샤프트, 기어박스 및 발전기 등이 설치되며 이들 요소의 정상적인 동작을 보장하기 위한 각종 냉각 시스템이 설치된다. 만일 이들 냉각 시스템에 고장이 발생된다면 전체 풍력발전시스템의 정상적인 동작을 보장하는 것이 불가능하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 풍력발전 시스템 너셀 내부에 설치되는 각종 냉각장치의 고장을 미연에 방지할 수 있게 하는 IR 카메라 기반의 풍력발전용 고장검출 시스템을 제안하고 실제 시스템의 구현을 통해 제안된 기법의 유용성을 확인하고자 한다.

본 논문에서는 기어감속 서보시스템의 모터입력전압 크기를 적절히 감소시키면 모터입력전압에 대한 모터각속도에서 나타나는 주파수응답특성에 미치는 백래시 영향이 매우 커지게 됨을 보여 주였다. 또한 주파수응답선도에서 나타나는 반공진 및 공진주파수 변화량을 관찰하여 기어감속 서보시스템 내 기어 백래시 변화를 감지할 수 있는 방법의 유용성을 이론적, 시뮬레이션 및 실험적으로 검증하였다. 반공진주파수 변화가 공진주파수 변화 보다 안정적으로 계측될 수 있으므로 백래시 크기 변화감지 시 반공진주파수 변화량 관찰이 좀 더 유용하며, 공진주파수는 모터입력전압을 충분히 감속시켜야 급격한 변화를 관찰할 수 있음을 보여주었다. 본 연구는 기어감속 서보시스템 내 백래시 크기 변화 감지에 대한 향후 연구에 있어서 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이라고 생각한다.
