The impact properties of two austenitic Fe-23Mn-0.4C steels with different Al contents for cryogenic applications are investigated in this study. The 4Al steel consists mostly of austenite single-phase microstructure, while the 5Al steel exhibits a two-phase microstructure of austenite and delta-ferrite with coarse and elongated grains. Charpy impact test results reveal that the 5Al steel with duplex phases of austenite and delta-ferrite exhibits a ductile-to-brittle transition behavior, while the 4Al steel with only single-phase austenite has higher absorbed energy over 100 J at -196 oC. The SEM fractographs of Charpy impact specimens show that the 4Al steel has a ductile dimple fracture regardless of test temperature, whereas the 5Al steel fractured at -100 oC and -196 oC exhibits a mixed fracture mode of both ductile and brittle fractures. Additionally, quasi-cleavage fracture caused by crack propagation of delta-ferrite phase is found in some regions of the brittle fracture surface of the 5Al steel. Based on these results, the delta-ferrite phase hardly has a significant effect on absorbed energy at room-temperature, but it significantly deteriorates low-temperature toughness by acting as the main site of the propagation of brittle cracks at cryogenic-temperatures.

In this study, an AISI 316 L alloy was manufactured using a selective laser melting (SLM) process. The tensile and impact toughness properties of the SLM AISI 316 L alloy were examined. In addition, stress relieving heat treatment (650oC / 2 h) was performed on the as-built SLM alloy to investigate the effects of heat treatment on the mechanical properties. In the as-built SLM AISI 316 L alloy, cellular dendrite and molten pool structures were observed. Although the molten pool did not disappear following heat treatment, EBSD KAM analytical results confirmed that the fractions of the low- and high-angle boundaries decreased and increased, respectively. As the heat treatment was performed, the yield strength decreased, but the tensile strength and elongation increased only slightly. Impact toughness results revealed that the impact energy increased by 33.5% when heat treatment was applied. The deformation behavior of the SLM AISI 316 L alloy was also examined in relation to the microstructure through analyses of the tensile and impact fracture surfaces.

In this study, three kinds of bainitic steels are fabricated by controlling the contents of vanadium and boron. High vanadium steel has a lot of carbides and nitrides, and so, during the cooling process, acicular ferrite is well formed. Carbides and nitrides develop fine grains by inhibiting grain growth. As a result, the low temperature Charpy absorbed energy of high vanadium steel is higher than that of low vanadium steel. In boron added steel, boron segregates at the prior austenite grain boundary, so that acicular ferrite formation occurs well during the cooling process. However, the granular bainite packet size of the boron added steel is larger than that of high vanadium steel because boron cannot effectively suppress grain growth. Therefore, the low temperature Charpy absorbed energy of the boron added steel is lower than that of the low vanadium steel. HAZ (heat affected zone) microstructure formation affects not only vanadium and boron but also the prior austenite grain size. In the HAZ specimen having large prior austenite grain size, acicular ferrite is formed inside the austenite, and granular bainite, bainitic ferrite, and martensite are also formed in a complex, resulting in a mixed acicular ferrite region with a high volume fraction. On the other hand, in the HAZ specimen having small prior austenite grain size, the volume fraction of the mixed acicular ferrite region is low because granular bainite and bainitic ferrite are coarse due to the large number of prior austenite grain boundaries.

Background: To evaluate whether extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) in the pain point is a more effective treatment than the trigger point for myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) of the upper trapezius. Objects: The purpose of this study was to compare the most effective areas when applying extracorporeal shock wave therapy. Methods: A total of 30 patients with MPS were randomly assigned to the trigger point in the ESWT (n = 15) and pain point ESWT (n = 15) groups. Interventions in both groups were performed in one session, i.e., 2,000 shocks with 1.5 bar intensity. Pain and function were assessed using the visual analog scale (VAS) and cervical range of motion (ROM) and based on mechanical muscle properties. Statistical analysis was performed using the repeated measures two-way analysis of variance to determine the significance probability between pre- and post-test. Results: Changes in mechanical muscle properties were not statistically significant between the two groups. However, VAS and cervical ROM showed statistically significant differences at pre- and post-intervention, regardless of the group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Although no significant difference was observed in the intervention effect, applying an extracorporeal shock wave to the pain point rather than the pain trigger point should be considered in order to save time in effectively and accurately identifying the pain trigger point and site.

선박은 육상지원에 제한이 있으므로 심정지 환자발생을 대비하여 AED를 갖추고 올바른 설치와 철저한 관리가 요구된다. 그리고 선원은 AED를 사용할 수 있는 해기능력을 갖추어야 한다. 본 연구는 선박 내 AED 활용성을 높이기 위하여, AED 설치현황과 관리실태 를 파악하고 선원들의 AED 사용능력 및 사용의향을 분석하여 개선방안을 제시하기 위한 조사연구이다. 2019년 9월 9일부터 2020년 2월 20일까지 진행하였으며, 총 244척의 선박과 244명의 선원을 대상으로 조사하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS WIN 23.0 프로그램을 이용하여, 빈도와 백분율, 카이제곱 검정으로 분석하였다. 연구결과, AED 수가 1대인 선박이 대부분이었고, AED 설치 및 관리가 적정하지 못한 선박도 일부 확인되었다. AED 교육참여 경험이 있는 대상자는 142명(58.2 %)이고, AED 사용의향은 136명(55.7 %)이 있었으며, 저해요인은 사용 방법을 모름(63.0 %)이 가장 높았다. AED 사용의향은 직책에서는 선장, 항해사, 근무부서에서는 갑판부가 높았고, 교육 참여경험이 있고 교육시점이 6개월 미만인 경우 AED 사용에 적극적이었다. 따라서, 선박 내 AED 설치개수에 대한 기준을 정립하여 AED 추가배치를 고려 하고, AED 관리지침을 준수하도록 할 필요가 있다. 또한, 선박 내 AED 사용의향이 낮은 항해사 외의 직군에 대해 AED 교육훈련 및 인식 제고 노력이 필요하며, 선원들의 AED 사용능력 등을 평가하여, 적정한 재교육 주기에 대한 검토가 필요하다.

본 연구에서는 2D 조파수조를 통해 수행된 모형시험결과를 기반으로 원형실린더에 분포하는 파랑충격압력을 시간에 따라 계측하고 이를 CFD해석 결과와 비교하였다. 전산유체역학 해석을 통해 파랑충격력에 직접평가법에 관한 효용성을 확인할 수 있었고, 실험으로부터 구한 파랑충격 시계열 데이터를 그대로 원형단면을 갖는 실제 해양구조물의 부재에 적용하였다. 실린더에 분포하는 변위 및 응력의 특성과 특이점이 바뀌는 것을 확인하였고 실제 시계열을 적용하는 것이 해양구조물의 강도평가를 보다 정확하게 평가할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 선수부에 요구되는 외판의 최소선급규정에 따른 두께 경험식들을 분석하여 적용하고자 하였다. 동일한 재료 물성치를 갖는 강재에 관해 선수외판에 요구되는 구조물의 최소두께와 원형단면 부재에 요구되는 최소두께를 비교·분석하였고 이를 통해 NORSOK standard에 제시되어 있는 구조물의 손상기준을 활용하여 허용 두께치를 추정하고자 하였다. 특히 해양구조물의 갑판충격력(wave in deck)의 경우 이와 관련된 경험식이나 최소두께 요구사항들이 정립되어 있지 않기 때문에 본 연구를 통해 파랑충격력에 따라 요구되는 판재의 최소두께를 제안하고자 하였다.

The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between bullying, nursing work environment, reality shock and factors of influence on turnover intension. Data were collected from 381 nurses who were under the charge nurse at a hospital with more than 600 beds in Seoul. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS24.0 program. The mean score for turnover intension was 3.61 ± 0.89. The intension of turnover was correlated with bullying in the workplace (r=0.197, ρ=.001), the nursing work environment (r=-.409, p=.001), and reality shock (r=.572, p=.001). Variables affecting turnover intension were the work department(β=-0.018, ρ=.049), working environment(β=-0.424, ρ<.000), and reality shock(β=0.654, ρ<.000). The total amount of explanation for turnover intension was 37.3%. The degree of turnover intension of nurses was affected by work in general wards, the experience of workplace bullying and the nursing work environment. To reduce turnover intension, nursing work needs to be analyzed and efforts are needed to establish an effective communication system.

In this study, the effects of Co content on the microstructure and Charpy impact properties of Fe-Cr-W ferritic/martensitic oxide dispersion strengthened (F/M ODS) steels are investigated. F/M ODS steels with 0–5 wt% Co are fabricated by mechanical alloying, followed by hot isostatic pressing, hot-rolling, and normalizing/tempering heat treatment. All the steels commonly exhibit two-phase microstructures consisting of ferrite and tempered martensite. The volume fraction of ferrite increases with the increase in the Co content, since the Co element considerably lowers the hardenability of the F/M ODS steel. Despite the lowest volume fraction of tempered martensite, the F/M ODS steel with 5 wt% Co shows the highest micro-Vickers hardness, owing to the solid solution-hardening effect of the alloyed Co. The high hardness of the steel improves the resistance to fracture initiation, thereby resulting in the enhanced fracture initiation energy in a Charpy impact test at – 40oC. Furthermore, the addition of Co suppresses the formation of coarse oxide inclusions in the F/M ODS steel, while simultaneously providing a high resistance to fracture propagation. Owing to these combined effects of Co, the Charpy impact energy of the F/M ODS steel increases gradually with the increase in the Co content.

본 논문은 충격을 줄이기 위해 효과적인 충격완충장치를 구성하는 방법을 제안했다. 기존의 충격완충장치는 폴리에틸렌으로만 만들어졌지만, 새로운 충격완충장치는 외측에는 폴리에틸렌, 내측에는 고밀도 재료로 구성하였다. 충격은 내측과 외측 물질 사이의 밀도 차이가 더 클 때 줄어들었다. 2층 구조의 외측으로 설계하기 위해 알루미늄, 티타늄, 구리를 선택하였다. 가장 밀도가 높은 구리에서는 충격 감소가 가장 좋았으며, 기존 충격완충장치보다 최대 감가속도는 43%, 충격량은 51% 감소하였다. 4층, 6층 충격완충장치의 경우, 충격량은 줄였지만, 최대 감가속도는 증가하였다. 신관은 가장 큰 충격으로부터 살아남아야 하며 나머지 충격파는 임계값을 초과하지 않으므로, 본 논문은 폴리에틸렌-구리를 사용한 2층 구조용 충격완충장치를 제안하였다.

In this study, effects of carbon and nickel on microstructure and low temperature Charpy impact properties of HSLA (high strength low alloy) steels are investigated. To understand the complex phase transformation behavior of HSLA steels with high strength and toughness before and after welding processes, three kinds of HSLA steels are fabricated by varying the carbon and nickel content. Microstructure analysis, low temperature Charpy impact test, and Vickers hardness test are performed for the base metals and CGHAZ (coarse-grain heat affected zone) specimens. The specimens with the lowest carbon and nickel content have the highest volume fraction of AF, the lowest volume fraction of GB, and the smallest GB packet size. So, the low temperature Charpy absorbed energy of the CGHAZ specimen is the highest. The specimens with increased carbon and nickel content have the lowest volume fraction of AF, the highest volume fraction of GB, and the largest GB packet size. So, the low temperature Charpy absorbed energy of the CGHAZ specimen is the lowest.
