In this research, the performances of active hood lift system(AHLS) are investigated according to the structural improvement through the experimental test. After introducing the working principle of the AHLS activated by a gunpowder actuator, the structural problems that cause the inefficiencies in the actuation are analyzed to reduce the deployment time of system. Sequentially, the improved structural model is proposed base on the analysis. The deployment time of AHLS are evaluated by the experimental test, and it has been identified that the improved model can provide a faster deploying time of AHLS.

This paper suggests an environment of a CSCW(Computer Supported Cooperative Works) for industry safety service. A good example of industry safety service is gunpowder. This paper proposed a computer-based integrated multimedia for industry safety service running on shepherd and SIP(Session Initiation Protocol). But, conventional framework has not yet fully progressed a shepherd for computer-based integrated multimedia running on SIP(Session Initiation Protocol). Session management include function of session creation, session end, late comer process, and access control. Therefore, this paper described an environment of integrated multimedia based on a shepherd and SIP environment to maintain good session condition.

The Bigyeokjincheolloe (bomb shell), a scientific cultural heritage, has outstanding historical value for sustaining a gunpowder weapon of Joseon. In this study, the bomb shell was modeled through three-dimensional (3D) scanning centered on the external shape and 𝛾-ray radiography-based on the internal shape. In particular, to improve the contrast in the radiographic image, optimization and image processing were performed. After these processes, the thickness of the inner wall (2.5 cm on average) and the positions of the three mold chaplets were clearly revealed. For exhibition purposes, the 3D model of the bomb shell was output to a 3D printer and the output was rendered realistic by coloring. In addition, the internal functional elements, such as Mokgok, fuse, mud, gunpowder, and caltrops, were reproduced through handwork. The results will contribute to the study of digital heritages in two ways. First, the internal and external shapes of the bomb shell were modeled by fusing two different technologies, namely, 3D scanning and 𝛾-ray radiography. Second, the internal shape of the bomb shell was constructed from the original form data and the reproduction was utilized for museum exhibitions. The developed modeling approach will greatly expand the scope of museum exhibitions, from those centered on historical content to those centered on scientific content.

Gunpowder was invented as a result of discovering the fact that potassium nitrate acts as an oxygen carrier in the process of manufacturing traditional medicine by heating the mixture of potassium nitrate and sulfur. Rapid progress was made in dynamite manufactring technology as a result of development of basic chemistry in Europe. However, recently the demand for dynamite has decreased in favor of the ANFO explosive which is improved production technology. This study was attempted to clear the historical facts concerned with the developing process of European eaplosive technology, and intended to submitt the reference materials for researchers.

This study was performed to investigate the manufacturing process of the Yeomcho(potassium nitrate), a necessary raw material for making gunpowder using soils and ashes by our ancestor. 10 types of soils including underfloor soil and 6 kinds of ashes including mugwort ash were collected, referencing the historical record. The ionic components extracted from the soils and ashes were analyzed by ICP(inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer) and IC(ion chromatograph). Nitrate ions and potassium ions were dominantly contained in soils and ashes, respectively. In particular, nitrate ions were found in the highest lebels in underfloor soil which often has much exposure to human living environments and accumulated fine organic matter. Potassium ions contained in ash was affected significantly by the type of plant and the growth environments and the measured levels were the highest in mugwort ashes. Yeomcho of 68% purity was obtained from the soil and ash mixture of 1:1 and thid purity was improved by about 14% by fractional crystallization method.

This paper includes that there are results of designing the flash hider and analyzing fluid dynamics of a front area of the barrel to shorten the length of small arms. Generally, the muzzle flash can be generated out of the barrel by the reaction between the oxygen in the air and unburned gunpowder contained in the propellant gas if a barrel is not long enough to burn gunpowder fully inside of the barrel. Though, the hugh muzzle flash, which is a characteristic of small arms with short barrel length, caused a soldier to aim at the target at night by making the soldier blind for a while and endangers his life by revealing firing position to enemies. Besides, the heat of muzzle flash can weaken the performance of thermal sights, which are attached to small arms for night battlefield. In this paper, flash hiders with several different shapes were designed for a newly developed 5.56mm caliber rifle with short barrel length. The performance of each flash hider to reduce the muzzle flash was compared theoretically and experimentally. Through the authorized test procedure, a highly efficient design of flash hider for reducing the muzzle flash was identified. The result of the paper can be helpful when designing flash hiders for small arms with short barrel length.

With the development of micro electronic circuits and optical equipment, the demand for developing smart munitions with the ability to autonomously search for and attack targets has increased. Since the electronic components within smart munitions are affected by high temperatures, pressure, and impulsive forces upon the combustion of gunpowder, stability and reliability need to be secured for them. Securing those stability and reliability requires soft recovery system which can decelerate smart munitions. A theoretical analysis of flow is performed for the secure recovery of bullets on the basis of Navier-Stokes equation for compressible fluids. The inner pressure on a pressure tube, the speeds of bullets, and the deceleration of munitions are calculated theoretically. Theoretical results are compared with the data from the experiment with soft recovery system set up at the laboratory.

The analytical model determining the unknown parameters of reaction rate equation which is necessary to simulate the combustion phenomena of energetic materials is proposed. The relationship between detonation velocity and size effect of energetic materials is derived from simplified JWL++ model. Theoretical model is used to investigate the combustion characteristics of certain energetic materials before running Hydrocode by pre-determination of unknown parameter, b. When b=0.8, the behavior of HANFO gunpowder is in the form of concave-up and ANFO explosives has the concave-down form in case of b=1.5. The analytical model provides efficient and highly accurate results rather than previous method which simulated the unconfined-rate-stick via the numerical means.

Scientific study for Chong-Tong was carried out firstly by ICP and C /S analysis. Hyeon-Ja-Chong-Tong is made by Ryang-Ne-Ryo_Dong and identified the oldest Chong-Tong among them same items never since excavated from in Korea. It was found that Byol-Seung-Ja-Chong-Tong includes gunpowder and by $\gamma$-Radiography and casted at the 1592 just before Hideyoshi's invasion of Korea. these Chong-Tong is fired by the fuse is the muzzl-loading.

자동차 산업의 발달과 전세계적으로 차량의 증가로 인해 보행자의 사고 발생율이 증가하고 있고 보행자의 안전에 대해 연구와 안전장비들이 계속적으로 개발되고 있다. 보행자와 차량의 충돌시 보행자의 상해를 감소시키는 시스템 중 화약식 액티브 후드 시스템(active hood system, AHS)은 부하가 화약성분이므로 부하의 성분을 검출하는데 한계가 있고, 위험성이 높으므로 정밀한 고장진단이 필요하다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 화약의 부하저항을 측정하는 방법과 저항성 누설전류를 측정하는 방법을 제시하고, 이 방법을 점화회로의 이상 유무를 확인하는 고장진단 기법으로 제안한다. 그리고 고장진단시 squib가 점화되는 오동작을 방지하고저 고장진단 모드와 점화모드를 구별하여 진단전류와 점화전류를 구분하는 기법을 제안한다.
