Vacuum vessel of the KSTAR(Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research) tokamak is a fully welded structure with D-shaped cross-section. According to the requirements of the physics design, sixteen horizontal ports, sixteen slanted ports, sixteen baking and cooling ports, and twenty-four top and bottom vertical ports are designed for the diagnostics, plasma heating, vacuum pumping, and baking and cooling. Bellows on these ports are used for flexible components to absorb the relative displacement due to the vacuum vessel thermal expansion and the electromagnetic force between the vacuum vessel and the cryostat ports. Fatigue strength evaluation was performed to decide the dimension of the bellows. In order to assure the quality of the bellows, a prototype bellows for the neutral beam injection port has been fabricated and tested prior to main fabrication. It was conformed that the prototype bellows has sufficient fatigue strength and vacuum reliability in the expected load conditions.

The magnetic levitator is the device which can float a magnetic material at the midair by electromagnetic force and it's principle can be applied to the high speed magnetic bearing or magnetic levitation train. There are many difficulties to control, because the magnetic levitator is basically a nonlinear and unstable system. In this paper, this system is modeled assuming that it is a linear system nearby an operating point, and a proportional and derivative(PD) position controller is designed to carry out the variable position control. The performance of position control response is shown through simulation and experiment. A prototype magnetic levitator is constructed using PWM converter and DSP(Digital Signal Processor) based control board.

Three-dimensional transient simulation of laser-GMA hybrid welding involving multiple physical phenomena is conducted neglecting the interaction effect of laser and arc heat sources. To reproduce the bubble and pore formations in welding process, a new bubble model is suggested and added to the established laser and arc welding models comprehending VOF, Gaussian laser and arc heat source, recoil pressure, arc pressure, electromagnetic force, surface tension, multiple reflection and Fresnel reflection models. Based on the models mentioned above, simulations of laser-GMA hybrid butt welding are carried out and besides the molten pool flow, top and back bead formations could be observed. In addition, the laser induced keyhole formation and bubble generation duo to keyhole collapse are investigated. The bubbles are ejected from the molten pool through its top and bottom regions. However, some of those are entrapped by solid-liquid interface and remained as pores. Those bubbles and pores are intensively generated when the absorption of laser power is largely reduced and consequently the full penetration changes to the partial penetration.

The shock absorber is very important in various mechanical field. Without the shock absorber, the structure might be broken. For lunar lander, honeycomb shock absorber to absorber the shock by using plastic deformation of honeycomb has been used. It is cheap and simple to use but impossible using again without changing the honeycomb. The oleo-pneumatic type shock absorber is not able to use in the cosmos because it is vacuum and its temperature. This study suggests the hybrid shock absorber combined spring-ratchet mechanical shock absorber and eddy current electromagnetic damper. The ratchet restricts rebound of lunar lander and the spring converts the impact energy to the potential energy of the spring. The eddy current damper dissipates the impact energy by eddy current force without contact between the parts. This hybrid shock absorber is reusable while the honeycomb shock absorber isn't. The impact absorbing test of the hybrid shock absorber was carried out. This paper shows that the compared results the hybrid shock absorber with ratchet and without ratchet and evaluates the possibility of using for lunar lander.

일반적으로 초전도선재를 이용한 코일의 전자기력에 의한 스트레스 계산에 있어서는 코일의 전류밀도분포와 자속밀도분포의 선형적인 관계를 이용하나 아직까지 초전도체 특유의 비선형적인 특성을 이용한 스트레스의 계산은 미비하다. 본 논문에서는 13턴의 소형 싱글팬케이크 코일을 초전도의 특성을 적용해 해석하고 인가전류가 $0.3I_c,\;0.5I_c,\;0.8I_c$ 인 경우에 대해서 전자기력에 의한 코일의 스트레스를 유한요소법으로 계산하였다. 계산 결과 코일의 radial stress와 hoop stress는 모두 코일의 자속밀도분포와 유사한 모습을 나타내었다.

Solenoid diaphragm fuel pump, which to replace mechanical fuel pump system by utilizing cam-shaft driving force, is in the spotlight for being a high efficient green car component. However, there is a drawback in power consumption as a solenoid diaphragm fuel pump only relies on solenoid for its flux needed in reciprocating motion. Therefore, this research proposes permanent magnet type VCM (Voice Coil Motor) fuel pump system to minimized power consumption. Furthermore, the study compares and analyzes power consumption and dynamic performance between the current and the former solenoid diaphragm pump by conducting finite element analysis with the commercial electromagnetic solver, MAXWELL.

Enhanced approach using computational and experimental method is proposed and performed to describe very well the behavior of loudspeaker than conventional method. Proposed procedure is composed of four parts. First, Thiele-Small parameters for test loudspeaker are identified by an electrical impedance method like as a delta mass method. Second part includes the processes to measure physical properties. Physical data like masses and thicknesses of loudspeaker's components are measured by an electrical precision scale and a digital vernier caliper. Third, the identified Thiele-Small parameters are proposed to be used as load boundary conditions for vibration analysis instead of electromagnetic circuit analysis to get a driving force upon bobbin part. Also, these parameters and physical data are used to modify physical properties required for computation to accommodate simulated sound pressure level with measured one for loudspeaker enclosure system. These data like as Young's modulus and thickness for a diaphragm are required for vibration analysis of loudspeaker but not measured accurately. Finally, it was investigated that simulated sound pressure level with full acoustic modeling including an acoustic port for test loudspeaker agreed with experimental result very well in the midrange frequency band(from 100 Hz to 2,000 Hz). In addition, several design parametric study is performed to grasp acoustical behaviors of loudspeaker system due to variations of diaphragm thicknesses and shapes of dust cap.

The structure, shape, size, and magnetic properties of Ni$_{0.5}$Cu$_{0.1}$Zn$_{0.4}$Fe$_2$O$_4$ have been investigated as a function of annealing temperatures. In order to control the microwave absorbing properties of ferrite-rubber composite and the complex losses (magnetic loss and conduction loss), the effect of carbon addition was also studied. It was found that the coercive force decreased with increasing heat-treatment temperatures. Relative complex permeability and reflection loss were measured by the network analyzer. As a result, the natural resonance occurred in the low frequency tinge, and the matching frequency of the ferrite-rubber composite prepared at 130$0^{\circ}C$ was found to be lower. As heat-treatment temperatures were increased, the magnetic loss ($\mu$$_{r}$", $\mu$$_{r}$′) and the dielectric loss ($\varepsilon$$_{r}$"/$\varepsilon$$_{r}$′) were increased. It was caused that the absorption characteristics of the absorber were improved. The conduction loss and magnetic loss were expected to be occurred together because two matching frequencies were shown with carbon addition. It was confirmed that the matching frequency of the microwave absorber could be controlled by controlling heat-treatment temperatures and carbon additions.ons.tions.

To improve trapped field characteristics of a high temperature superconducting (HTS) bulk, a technique to implement artificial holes has been studied. The artificial holes, filled up with epoxy or metal, may provide better cooling channel and enhance mechanical strength of the HTS bulk. Although many useful researches based on experiments have been reported, a numerical approach is still limited because of several reasons that include: 1) highly non-linear electromagnetic properties of HTS; and 2) difficulty in modeling of randomly scattered "small" artificial holes. In this paper, a 2-D finite element method with iteration is adopted to analyze trapped field characteristics of HTS bulk with artificial holes. The validity of the calculation is verified by comparison between measurement and calculation of a trapped field in a $40{\times}40\;mm$ square and 3.1 mm thick HTS bulk having 16 artificial holes with diameter of 0.7 mm. The effects of sizes and array patterns of artificial holes on distribution of trapped field within HTS bulk are numerically investigated using suggested method.

EMP(ElectroMagnetic Pulse) was founded by United States first time from hydrogen bomb experiments in the Pacific Ocean. Although nuclear weapons are weapons of destruction and casualties as heat and explosive force, accidentally it discovered EMP that it can be used as a weapon system that can impose serious damage to electronic equipments without damaging our life, and especially, the automated weapons operated by a computer, such as an electronic device can be effectively neutralized. Therefore, the main military facilities have provided the equipment that can protected from EMP as necessary. In this paper, the concept of EMP is described and countermeasures to protect against EMP are surveyed and described.
