UV and O3 are materials used in the water treatment process, and many studies have been reported to remove organic matters, contaminants, and microorganisms. In this study, we were investigated effects of Chirnomidae (Chironomus flaviplumus, Chironomus riparius), which are contamination indicator species to exposure UV and O3 for the survival rate, body color change and gene expression response. The survival rate of C. flaviplumus exposed to UV decreased to about 70% after 24 hours, and C. riparius about 50%. There was no change in the survival rate of C. flaviplumus exposed to O3, and C. riparius decreased to 95% after 10 minutes of exposure, but there was no change during the subsequent exposure time. In addition, UV and O3 exposure to the two species in body color faded in a time-dependent. In the HSP70 gene expression, C. riparius showed an increase in expression after UV exposure compared to the control group, and a significant difference was shown 12 hours after exposure (P<0.05). C. flaviplumus exposed to O3 showed a relatively low expression compared to the control group, and showed a significant difference at 10 minutes and 1 hour after exposure (P<0.05). These results reported the ecotoxicological effects on Chironomidae according to UV and O3 exposure. Therefore, the results of this study can be used as basic data to understand the effects of UV and O3, which are disinfectants used in water treatment plants, on Chirnomidae entering plants. Key words: Chironomus flaviplumus, Chironomus riparius, UV, O3, acute toxicity, survival

In this study, the abnormal noise phenomenon generated intermittently in the shock absorber of the combat armored vehicle was approached from the side of the squeak joint to solve the phenomenon. In order to identify the cause of the noise, the factors causing friction in the shock absorber were checked from the viewpoint of problem product analysis, process, and design. As an improvement plan, by improving the non-lubricated section in the nitrogen chamber, the operating noise was reduced to a level lower than that of a general automobile engine along with the elimination of noise. Considering that this is a combat vehicle, it is judged that it has been improved so as not to affect the survivability and health of the crew during equipment operation. Through the improvement of this study, it is expected to prevent power loss and improve the emotional quality of our soldier.

The effect of the stacking order of carbon fiber composites on impact damage was studied. The main form of damage was delamination starting at the interface between individual ply. The force-time response when the impact was applied was monitored and the energy absorbed by the panel was analyzed. The energy absorbed during interlayer separation was found to be affected by the stacking order, and the residual energy absorbed by peel propagation increased linearly as the total peel area increased. It was found that the compressive strength after impact was related to the maximum delamination area.

PURPOSES : Unlike European standards, domestic performance assessment standards for truck mounted attenuators (TMAs) was first stipulated in 2014 using the NCHRP Report 350 of 1993 as the standard instead of the 2009 MASH of the United States. The purpose of this study is to present an improvement in the domestic performance evaluation criteria for TMAs.. METHODS : Considering the latest TMA performance evaluation standards in the U.S. and Europe, domestic performance evaluation criteria must improve stipulations related to impact speeds, impact conditions, impact cars, and support trucks. The performance change in the TMAs according to the variation in the impact speed, impact condition, impact vehicle, and support vehicle was investigated using finite element analysis (FEA). RESULTS : The TMA for an impact speed of 100 km/h showed a limit to the safety of the occupants of the collision vehicle and workers on the road for a collision speed of 120 km/h. The safety of the workers on the road was also not guaranteed for the collision of the remaining 73.8% of vehicles that exceeds the maximum impact car weight of 1,300 kg, the lower 26.2% of the total mass composition of domestic passenger cars. In addition, a TMA that satisfied only the conditions under which the vehicle was hit head-on to the center of the TMA did not reduce the risk of a secondary collision of the impact vehicle. Furthermore, the safety of workers on the road was not guaranteed when a travel distance of a support truck of 10 tons or more was applied to a work vehicle of less than 10 tons. CONCLUSIONS : To improve the safety of road traffic, a performance level corresponding to an impact speed of 120 km/h was added to the domestic TMA performance evaluation standard, and the eccentricity and oblique collision conditions were mandatory. Furthermore, the maximum impact vehicle weight of 1300 kg was raised to 2000 kg, and the test requester had to present support trucks of lower and upper weights such that TMA mounting trucks of various weights could be used.

The thermal shock resistance of cement composites with hollow glass microspheres (HGM) is investigated. Cement composites containing various concentrations of HGM are prepared and their properties studied. The density, thermal conductivity, and coefficient of thermal expansion of the composites decrease with increasing HGM concentration. A thermal shock test is performed by cycling between -60 and 50oC. After the thermal shock test, the compressive strength of the cement composite without HGM decreases by 28.4%, whereas the compressive strength of the cement composite with 30 wt% HGM decreases by 5.7%. This confirms that the thermal shock resistance of cement is improved by the incorporation of HGM. This effect is attributed to the reduction of the thermal conductivity and coefficient of thermal expansion of the cement composite because of the incorporation of HGM, thereby reducing the occurrence of defects due to external temperature changes.

본 연구는 경제적 충격이 개발도상국의 영양 섭취에 미친 영향 분석을 목표로 한다. COVID-19 팬데믹 발생 이후, 2020년 세계 경제 성장률은 –4.4%를 기록하였 고, 빈곤선 이하의 인구는 2019년 6억 4천만 명에서 2020년 7억 1천만 명으로 급 증하였다. 경기 침체와 빈곤 인구 급증은 개발도상국의 식량 불안정 상태를 유발 하였다. 본 연구는 ‘영양실조 유병률(Prevalence of Undernourishment, PoU)’을 영양 섭취를 대표하는 대리변수로 하여 COVID-19로 인한 경제적 충격이 영양 섭 취에에 영향을 미쳤는지 실증분석을 하였다. 연구의 분석 기간은 2014년부터 2020 년이고 개발도상국 33개국을 대상으로 하였다. 확률효과모형(random effect)으로 패널데이터를 분석한 결과, COVID-19의 발생과 저소득 개발도상국(low-income)은 정(+)의 관계로 영양실조 유병률을 증가시키는 요인으로 작용하였다. 반면 1인당 GDP, 안전한 식수를 사용하는 인구 비중, 농촌 거주 인구 비중은 부(-)의 관계로, 소득 및 인프라가 개선될수록 영양 섭취 부족 인구가 줄어드는 것을 알 수 있다. 따라서 개발도상국에 속하는 국가 간 실질적인 소득과 인프라 구축 간의 차이가 상당하며, COVID-19와 같은 감염병으로부터 경제적 충격을 받는 경우 이를 대응 할 수 있는 국제사회의 지원 및 경제발전을 위한 자발적인 노력이 병행되어야 할 것이다.

우수한 역학적 성능을 가진 생물체의 구조를 모방하여 고성능의 복합재료를 개발하려는 노력이 최근 활발히 이뤄지고 있다. 진주 층 구조는 구성재료 대비 월등히 높은 파괴인성을 지닌다는 점에서 촉망받는 자연 모사 구조 중 하나이다. 하지만, 진주층 모사 구조의 형상이 변형될 때 구조의 충격성능이 어떻게 달라지는지에 관한 연구는 아직 충분히 진행되지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 무작위로 변형 된 진주층 모사 복합재의 수치모델을 개발하고 충격성능을 분석하였다. 먼저, 균일한 진주층 모사 패턴에서 플레이트 판의 평면 크기 를 무작위로 변형하는 알고리즘을 개발하고 이를 활용하여 불균일한 진주층 패턴 모사 구조를 모델링하였다. 그 후, 낙하충격 시뮬레 이션을 수행하고 해당 모델의 충격거동을 에너지 흡수율과 본 미세스 응력 분포, 충격력-시간 그래프를 활용하여 평가하였다. 수치해 석결과를 바탕으로, 충돌 범위 주변 플레이트 판의 기하학적 형상이 불균일할수록 진주층 모사 구조의 내충격성이 저하됨을 입증하 였다. 이러한 진주층 모사 형상에 대한 심층적인 이해는 진주층 모사 구조의 최적설계를 수립하는 데 효율적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으 로 기대된다.

In this research, the dynamics equations for a demolition fire vehicle were formulated. This was done by developing an interface that allows co-simulation using ADAMS and MATHEMATICA. In this study, MATHEMATICA alone was used to calculate the constrained dynamics equations, to demonstrate the impact force and the constraint Jacobian of the end-effector as any desired location through the x, y and z axes. Then we mathematically derived a model for a unilaterally constrained multi-link. Assumptions about the fire demolition vehicle of the constraint coordinate and the impact issues of the model are discussed in the next sections. The estimation procedure for the dynamics equation showed good approximation results in terms of solving a reaching task problem.

돌기해삼 Apostichopus japonicus는 주요 양식 대상 무척추동물로서 우리나라 연안 해역에 서 식하고 있다. 본 연구는 방류 방법에 따른 단기간의 생리학적 스트레스 정도를 평가하기 위하 여 heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) 유전자의 발현 변화를 실시간 정량적 중합효소연쇄반응법 으로 조사하였다. 어린 돌기해삼을 비닐봉지에 산소 포장하여 30분간 수송하거나 방류 해역의 간조기에 1시간 공기 중에 노출된 실험군의 HSP90 유전자 발현은 대조군의 HSP90 유전자 발현에 비하여 통계학적으로 유의미하게 증가하였다(수송 후 실험군 p=0.001; 간조기 실험군 p=0.032). 어린 돌기해삼을 방류 후 6시간까지 분석한 결과, 선상에서 씨뿌림 방식으로 방류된 6시간째의 개체 및 호스를 통과하여 수중으로 방류된 2~6시간째의 HSP90 유전자 발현율은 대 조군에 비하여 약간 감소하는 경향을 보였다(씨뿌림 실험군 p=0.069; 호스 방류군 p=0.093). 한 편, 잠수부에 의해 수중에서 방류된 어린 돌기해삼은 방류 후 시간이 경과할수록 HSP90 유전 자 발현율은 증가하는 패턴이 관찰되었다(p=0.061). 이상의 결과는 방류된 어린 돌기해삼의 단기간 스트레스 반응 연구와 효과적인 방류 방법의 개발에 HSP90 유전자 발현이 유용하게 사용될 수 있음을 시사한다.

The purpose of this study was to develop a 3D mesh-type impact protection pad with excellent motion adaptability and functionality by applying 3D printing technology. The hexagonal 3D mesh, which constitutes the basic structure of the pad, comprises two types: small and large. The bridge connecting the basic units was designed as the I-type, V-type, IV-type, and VV-type. After evaluating the characteristics of the bridge, it was found that the V-type bridge had the highest flexibility and tensile elongation. The hip joint pad and knee pad were completed by combining the hexagonal 3D mesh structure with the optimal bridge design. The impact protection pad was printed using a fused deposition modeling-type 3D printer with a filament made of thermoplastic polyurethane material, and the protection pad’s performance was evaluated. When an impact force of approximately 6,500N was applied to the pad, the force attenuation percentage was 78%, and when an impact force of approximately 8,000N was applied, the force attenuation percentage was 75%. Through these results, it was confirmed that the 3D-printed impact protection pad with a hexagonal 3D mesh structure connected by a V-shaped bridge developed in this study can adapt to changes in the body surface according to movement and provides excellent impact protection performance.

해저 석유와 가스 탐사가 점점 더 깊은 수심으로 진행되고 있으며, 해저 파이프라인은 고압 및 고온 조건에서 작동하는 것이 일반적이다. 온도 및 압력 차이로 인하여 파이프 축 방향 힘이 축적되는 현상이 있다. 이러한 현상은 파이프라인을 구속하는 해저면 효과 때문에 파이프라인은 횡 좌굴이 발생하게 된다. 온도가 증가하는 경우 축 방향의 압축 하중이 가해지며 이 하중이 임계 수준에 도달하면 파이프가 수직방향으로 움직이게 된다. 또는 파이프라인의 구조적 완전성을 위태롭게 할 수 있는 횡 방향 좌굴이 발생하는 상황에서, 작 동 중 파이프라인의 구조적 안전함을 보장하기 위해 파이프라인의 상세 구조 강도평가가 수행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 해저면의 마찰 효과 및 재료의 열 수축/팽창을 고려한 비선형 구조해석을 상용 유한요소해석 프로그램인 ANSYS를 활용하여 검토하였으며, 외부충격에 의한 횡 방향 좌굴 안전성을 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 통하여 수치 해석적 단순화된 분석 모델을 통하여 해저면의 효과를 고려한 조 건에서의 실제 파이프라인의 붕괴 조건을 예측할 수 있다.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to establish a scientific and rational structure pavement maintenance technique and management standard through field investigation and analysis method development for measuring damage to structure pavement such that fundamental quality improvement can be promoted and the life of pavement prolonged. METHODS : In this study, the crack, plastic deformation, IRI, and SPI values measured using the existing RoadScanner of a corresponding section, as well as the relative dielectric constant values of a lower deck measured using a ground penetrating radar are reduced. The results of a small impact load test are verified by comparing the modulus of elasticity measured. RESULTS : In the Hongjecheon Overpass, when comparing the suspicion points of deterioration between the center of the lane and the 25 measurement data points of the wheel pass section based on the elastic modulus of the light falling weight deflectometer (LFWD), it is discovered that the lane comprises four centers (16%) and 18 wheelpaths (72%). The percentage of suspected deterioration points in the center is higher than that in the wheelpath. In addition, in the case of the Seoho Bridge, by comparing the suspicious points of deterioration for 11 measurement data points in the middle of the lane and the wheelpath section based on the elastic modulus of the LFWD, it is discovered that five points (45%) in both the middle of the lane and the wheel pass are similar. CONCLUSIONS : In this study, a comparative analysis of the LFWD elastic modulus and SPI factors (crack rate, plastic deformation, and IRI) of the Hongjecheon Overpass and Seoho Bridge is conducted to confirm the factors of pavement breakage. Among them, it is confirmed that it affects the pavement condition the most; however, to consider the LFWD elastic modulus as an evaluation criterion for future structure pavement, the data points must be verified via additional experiments to ensure high reliability.

This paper presents a periodic replacement policy for a system subject to shocks when the system is operating for a finite random horizon. The system is subject to shocks during operation, and each shock causes downgrading of the system performance and makes it more expensive to run by the additional running cost. Shocks arrive according to a nonhomogeneous or a renewal process, and we develop periodic replacement policies under a finite random operating horizon. The optimum periodic replacement interval which minimizes the total operating cost during the horizon is found. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the results.
