Base isolation is considered as a seismic protective system in the design of next generation Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs). If seismic isolation devices are installed in nuclear power plants then the safety under a seismic load of the power plant may be improved. However, with respect to some equipment, seismic risk may increase because displacement may become greater than before the installation of a seismic isolation device. Therefore, it is estimated to be necessary to select equipment in which the seismic risk increases due to an increase in the displacement by the installation of a seismic isolation device, and to perform research on the seismic performance of each piece of equipment. In this study, modified NRC-BNL benchmark models were used for seismic analysis. The numerical models include representations of isolation devices. In order to validate the numerical piping system model and to define the failure mode, a quasi-static loading test was conducted on the piping components before the analysis procedures. The fragility analysis was performed by using the results of the inelastic seismic response analysis. Inelastic seismic response analysis was carried out by using the shell finite element model of a piping system considering internal pressure. The implicit method was used for the direct integration time history analysis. In addition, the collapse load point was used for the failure mode for the fragility analysis.

구조물의 지진응답을 저감시키기 위하여 추가적인 감쇠기나 진동제어장치가 일반적으로 사용된다. 이때, 추가적인 감쇠장치의 제어성능은 대상구조물 특성의 변화 없이 검토된다. 본 연구에서는 구조물과 스마트 제어장치의 다목적 통합최적화를 수행하였고 스마트 최상층 면진시스템이 설치된 구조물의 구조물량 저감의 가능성을 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 20층 예제구조물이 사용되었으며 MR 감쇠기와 저감쇠 탄성베어링을 사용하여 스마트 면진시스템을 구성하였다. 중약진지역의 설계스펙트럼을 바탕으로 생성된 인공지진하중을 사용하여 구조해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석결과, 스마트 최상층 면진시스템이 중약진지역에 있는 구조물의 응답과 면진층 변위를 동시에 효과적으로 줄일 수 있는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 통합최적설계기법으로 구조물량 및 감쇠기 용량을 적절하게 줄이면서도 우수한 제어성능을 발휘하는 다양한 설계 대안을 제공할 수 있었다.

In order to realize a high performance(low loss, high isolation) microwave power divider/combiner, we have designed the power combiner/divider precisely in accordance with the different hight of central part. In the case of the high central part of the hight of $h_r$=10.2, a compensating part of the conical line is inserted in the conical conversion transmission line, and in the case of low central part of the hight of $h_r$=5.0, the conical conversion transmission line is remodeled into the 2-stage bend structure. In both case, the reflection characteristics are improved to 30dB over the operating frequency range of 5GHz bandwidth. A resistance is inserted between the peripheral ports so as to try to improve the isolation characteristics of the device. For the 16-divider/combiner, the isolation characteristics are improved to 10dB over the operating frequency range of 5GHz bandwidth.

본 연구에서는 건물의 질량중심과 면진층의 강성중심 사이의 차이에 따른 면진효과에 대하여 살펴보았다. 면진기술은 면진층에 설치되는 면진장치의 성능에 크게 의존하는 기술이므로 면진장치 제작 후 전수검사를 통하여 면진장치의 수평강성을 검토하게 되어 있다. 하지만 면진장치 성능실험 시 각각의 면진장치의 품질기준은 건축기준에는 정해져 있지 않으며, 이로 인해 설계 시 적용된 강성과 실제 강성의 차이가 발생하여 면진층 상부 부재에 큰 문제를 야기할 수 있다. 연구결과, 최대응답변위의 차이는 크게 나타나지 않았으나 편심이 증가할수록 최대응답가속도, 층전단력 및 상부구조의 부재력은 크게 증가하여 일부 부재에서는 과도한 손상이 예상된다. 따라서 면진층은 실제 장치 제작 후 전수검사를 실시하여 반드시 설계된 의도대로 편심이 발생하지 않도록 장치를 재배치할 필요가 있으며, 가능하다면 건물의 질량중심과 강성중심의 차이는 동일하게 설계할 것을 추천한다.

This study compares the performance of two smart isolation systems that utilize superelastic shape memory alloys (SMAs) for seismic protection of bridges using energy balance concepts. The first isolation system is a SMA/rubber-based isolation system (SRB-IS) and consists of a laminated rubber bearing that decouples the superstructure from the bridge piers and a SMA device that provides additional energy dissipation and re-centering capacity. The second isolation system, named as superelastic-friction base isolator (S-FBI), combines the superelastic SMAs with a flat steel-Teflon bearing rather than a laminated rubber bearing. Seismic energy equations of a bridge structure with SMA-based isolation systems are established by absolute and relative energy balance formulations. Nonlinear time history analyses are performed in order to assess the effectiveness of the isolation systems and to compare their performance. The program RSPMatch 2005 is employed to generate spectrum compatible ground motions that are used in time history analyses of the isolated bridge. Results indicate that SRB-IS produces higher seismic input energy, recoverable energy and base shears as compared to the S-FBI system. Also, it is shown that combining superelastic SMAs with a sliding bearing rather than rubber bearing significantly reduce the amount of the required SMA material.

As the number of high-rise buildings increases, a mid-story isolation system has been proposed for high-rise buildings. Due to structural problems, an appropriate isolation layer displacement is required for an isolation system. In this study, the mid-story isolation system was designed and the seismic response of the structure was investigated by varying the yield strength and the horizontal stiffness of the seismic isolation system. To do this, a model with an isolation layer at the bottom of $15^{th}$ floor of a 20-story building was used as an example structure. Kobe(1995) and Nihonkai-Chubu(1983) earthquake are used as earthquake excitations. The yield strength and the horizontal stiffness of the seismic isolation system were varied to determine the seismic displacement and the story drift ratio of the structure. Based on the analytical results, as the yield strength and horizontal stiffness increase, the displacement of the isolation layer decreases. The story drift ratio decreases and then increases. The displacement of the isolation layer and the story drift ratio are inversely proportional. Increasing the displacement of the isolation layer to reduce the story drift ratio can cause the structure to become unstable. Therefore, an engineer should choose the appropriate yield strength and horizontal stiffness in consideration of the safety and efficiency of the structure when a mid-story isolation system for a high-rise building is designed.

난배양성 미생물의 배양과 보다 다양한 미생물의 분리를 위하여 Filter plate microbial trap (FPMT)을 개발하였고, 이 장치를 사용하여 Greenland의 토양에서 세균을 분리하였다. FPMT는 배지와 하단부의 membrane filter(0.45 ${\mu}m$ pore size)로 구성되어 있다. 시료에 포함된 세균과 화학물질이 FPMT 내로 이동하고, 세균이 증식하는 원리이다. 그 결과, FPMT를 이용한 새로운 in situ 배양방법을 통해 통상적인 Petri dish 배양방법보다 더 많은 종과 기존의 방법으로는 배양할 수 없는 세균을 분리하였다. 이 장치는 앞으로 다양한 환경에서 난배양성 미생물을 분리하는데 유용함을 확인하였다.

This study was intended to measure and analyze hand-transmitted vibrations from cultivator in idle and operation modes for three different types of field works. Based on this analysis a time for the white finger syndrome to appear on 10% of the operators was estimated assuming that their daily exposure is 3 hours. The 4 methods to reduce the hand vibration were also proposed and compared with each other. The results of the study were summarized as follows : The highest vibration level was recorded during trenching operation, resulting in a total average vibration of 11.5 m/s$^2$. Followings were 7.6 m/s$^2$ during rotary tillage and 7.0 m/s$^2$ for weeding. When exposed to these levels of vibrations three hours a day, the white finger syndrome is likely to appear in 4 years for trenching, 6.2 years for rotary tillage and 6.8 years for weeding operations. Isolation of hand vibration performed by a rubber pad, anti-vibration gloves, a handle anti-vibration device and engine mounts were respectively 15.7%, 16.5%. 26.1% and 27.0%, resulting in most effective methods of the handle anti-vibration device and engine mounts. A better performance of about 33.9% was achieved when both the handle anti-vibration device and engine mounts were used.

본 연구는 칩 표면에 수평 한 자기장을 검출하는 종형 Hall 소자를 바이폴라 기술로 제조하여 동작 및 잡음 특성을 조사하였다. P+ Isolation 댐을 설치한 소자(type B)가 설치하지 않는 소자(type A)보다 자기 감도는 약 1.2배 증가하였고, 역시 잡음도 증가하였다. 측정된 이 종형 Hall소자의 자기 검출 분해능은 f=1[KHz], 대역폭 1[Hz] 구동조건에서 type A는 약 $0.97[{\mu}T]$, type B는 $1.25[{\mu}T]$였다. 따라서 Hall 소자 구조 설계나 재료적인 면에서 볼 때, 낮은 잡음즉, 자기 검출분해능과 높은 감도 상관관계를 고려하여야 한다.
