This study was conducted to investigate the proper design of alpha board used to support concrete blocks under high loads. A board height of 50 mm was appropriate to ensure a deflection of 3 mm or less under a load of 5 tons. The trapezoidal shape of the vibration absorbers in the interior of the board reduced the maximum deflection by evenly distributing the deflection across the board width. The height of the board is the most important variable in preventing deflection, and for the same board height, adjusting the thickness of the top and bottom plates was more effective in reducing the amount of deflection than adjusting the thickness of the stiffener. The theoretical solution is a good tool for easily predicting the deflection of the board, as it shows a difference of 5 to 15% from the simulation results. However, as a 2D prediction model, the theoretical solution cannot represent the distribution of deflection over the entire board area, so the 3D simulations are necessary in predicting the amount of deflection over the entire board.

The recent surge in energy consumption has sharply increased the use of fossil fuels, leading to a steep rise in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Interest in hydrogen is growing to mitigate the issue of global warming. Currently, hydrogen energy is transported in the form of high-pressure gaseous hydrogen, which has the disadvantages of low safety and energy efficiency. To develop commercial hydrogen vehicles, liquid hydrogen should be utilized. Liquid hydrogen storage tanks have supports between the inner and outer cylinders to bear the weight of the cylinders and the liquid hydrogen. However, research on the design to improve the structural safety of these supports is still insufficient. In this study, through a thermal-structural coupled analysis of liquid hydrogen storage tanks, the model with three supports, which had the lowest maximum effective stress in the outer tank, inner tank, and supports as proposed in the author's previous research, was used to create analysis models based on the diameter of the supports. A structurally safe design for the supports was proposed.

고밀도폴리에틸렌(HDPE)은 대표적인 열가소성 플라스틱으로서 재활용성, 내충격성 등이 우수하여 차세대 친환경 소형선박용 재료로 각광받고 있다. 그러나, HDPE의 열변형온도는 하절기의 선체 온도와 비슷한 수준이며, 재료의 열팽창 특성으로 인해 선박 구조용 재료로서의 적용 가능성에 대한 기술적 검토가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 선박이 일상적으로 겪을 수 있는 상온 이상 온도범위에서 HDPE 의 기계적·열적 물성치를 도출하였고, 모의설계한 HDPE 어선을 대상으로 연중 태양복사열과 기관실 내부 온도가 가장 높은 하절기 운용 상황을 모사한 열전달 해석을 통해 구조부재들의 온도변화 및 분포, 응력 및 변위 구배 등을 확인하고자 하였다. 혹서기의 높은 기온과 강한 태양복사에 노출되는 HDPE 선체의 온도는 재료의 열변형온도 수준까지 상승하며 열팽창에 의한 변형 및 국부응력을 보여 설계 및 검토단계에서 선체 변형을 고려할 필요가 있고 향후 선체변형 대응방안 및 구조안전성 평가기준 마련 시 온도상승에 따른 물성치 변화를 고려할 필요가 있다.

최근 개발 및 상용화가 되는 해상풍력발전기의 용량이 15MW로 증가하면서 나셀 중량의 증가와 함께 블레이드와 타워의 크기 가 증가하고 있다. 원통 형상의 타워는 단순한 구조 형상을 갖고 있지만 블레이드가 회전하면서 발생하는 추력과 모멘트, 나셀과 블레이 드의 자중 그리고 타워 자체가 받는 풍하중에 매우 안전하게 지지해야 하는 아주 중요한 구성 요소이다. 다른 요소에 비해 파손이 발생하 면 파생되는 손실 위험도가 매우 크고 풍력발전기 가격의 25%를 차지한다. 본 연구의 주요 대상은 풍력발전기 타워이며, 복잡한 시간 이 력 하중 조합에 의한 구조 안전성 평가를 더욱 직관적으로 검증할 수 있는 단순화된 평가법을 제안하고자 한다. 구조 안전성 평가를 위해 서 사용된 프로그램은 NASTRAN이며 적용 하중은 풍력발전기 해석을 통하여 계산된 면내 전단하중 정보를 적용하였다. 신속한 구조 안 전성 검토를 위하여, 복잡한 하중 조합 조건을 단순화하고, 극한하중과 좌굴 그리고 피로수명까지 순차적으로 검토하였다. 유한요소해석 법에 따른 최소 수명 지점인 can 용접부를 EUROCODE 3에 의해서 계산하면 112.5년으로 평가하며 변동 피로 하중을 고려하는 방식이 다르고, 코드에서는 경험 계수를 고려하고 있어서 직접 비교는 어렵지만 유사한 경향은 확인할 수 있었다. 연구를 통하여 제시된 면내 하중 조합법을 이용하면 이른 시일 안에 타워의 구조 안전성을 검증이 가능하며 이에 따라 최종중량에 대한 확신을 높일 수가 있다.

To analyse the relationship between above-ground carbon stocks, species diversity and broadleaved forests structural diversity of South Korean forests, we collected vegetation inventories from environmental impact assessment projects over the past 10 years. The available data were selected and organised including tree species, DBH and area each projects. The data was classified by forest type, aboveground carbon stocks were calculated and compared, and the correlation between aboveground carbon stocks and biodiversity and structural diversity was analysed. The results showed that above-ground carbon stocks were higher in mixed forests and broadleaved forests and lower in needleleaved forests, similar to previous studies. However aboveground carbon stocks of mixed forests were higher in natural forests than in plantations. Aboveground carbon stocks in broadleaved forests were higher in plantations than natural forests, and there was no statistical different of between natural and plantations in needleleaved forest. This could be the result of a variety influences including biological and environmental factors in the study area, and further research is needed to analyse the effects on carbon sequestration. Correlation analysis showed no correlation between biodiversity and above-ground carbon stocks, but a positive correlation between structural diversity and above-ground carbon stocks. This indicates that above-ground carbon stocks in forests are associated with unevenness diameters and the proportion and evenness of tree species by diameter. In addition, it has been analysed that the high succession stages in forest have higher species diversity and structural diversity, and greater efficiency in the utilization of resources required for plant growth, leading to increased plant productivity and storage. Considering that the study sites were young forests with an average DBH of 14.8~23.7 cm, it is expected that carbon stocks will increase as biodiversity and structural diversity increase. Further research is needed to develop techniques to quantitatively assess the relationship of diversity to carbon stocks for policy use in assessing and increasing carbon stocks in forests.

This study is about the design of an elastic support system to isolate the structural noise of the low accumulator of the naval artillery among the equipment mounted on a warship. As the structural noise measurement value of the low accumulator transmitted to the ship exceeded the standard value, a method of applying an elastic mount between the equipment and the ship was devised to isolate the structural noise. By calculating the target vibration isolation efficiency, the vibration isolating system was designed in consideration of design factors such as the system's natural frequency and static displacement. Finally, the performance of the structural noise reduction of the designed vibration isolating system was verified by evaluating the structural noise transmitted to the foundation plate of the equipment from the low accumulator to which designed elastic support system was applied.

The government declared ‘2050 carbon neutrality’ as a national vision in October 2020 and subsequently pursued the establishment of a ‘2050 carbon neutrality scenario’ as a follow-up response. Hydrogen is considered as one of the most promising future energy carriers due to its noteworthy advantages of renewable, environmentally friendly and high calorific value. Liquid hydrogen is thus more advantageous for large-scale storage and transportation. However, due to the large difference between the liquid hydrogen temperature and the environment temperature, an inevitable heat leak into the storage tanks of liquid hydrogen occurs, causing boil-off losses and vent of hydrogen gas. Researches on insulation materials for liquid hydrogen are actively being conducted, but research on support design for minimal heat transfer and enhanced rigidity remains insufficient. In this study, to design support structures for liquid hydrogen storage tanks, a thermal-structural coupled analysis technique was developed using Ansys Workbench. Analytical models were created based on the number and arrangement of supports to propose structurally safe support designs.

Hydrogen is considered as one of the most promising future energy carriers due to its noteworthy advantages of renewable, environmentally friendly and high calorific value. However, the low density of hydrogen makes its storage an urgent technical problem for hydrogen energy development. Compared with the density of gas hydrogen, the density of liquid hydrogen is more than 1.5 times higher. Liquid hydrogen is thus more advantageous for large-scale storage and transportation. However, due to the large difference between the liquid hydrogen temperature and the environment temperature, an inevitable heat leak into the storage tanks of liquid hydrogen occurs, causing boil-off losses and vent of hydrogen gas. Researches on insulation materials for liquid hydrogen are actively being conducted, but research on support design for minimal heat transfer and enhanced rigidity remains insufficient. In this study, to design support for liquid hydrogen storage tank, technique of thermal-structural coupled analysis including geometry, mesh, and boundary condition were developed using Ansys workbench, and equivalent stress and deformation distributions were analyzed.

The design variables and material properties as well as the external loads concerned with structural engineering are used to be deterministic in optimization process. These values, however, have variability from expected performance. Therefore, deterministic optimum designs that are obtained without taking these uncertainty into account could lead to unreliable designs, which necessitates the Reliability-Based Design Optimization(RBDO). RBDO involves an evaluation of probabilistic constraints which constitutes another optimization procedure. So, an expensive computational cost is required. Therefore, how to decrease the computational cost has been an important challenge in the RBDO research field. Approximation models, response surface model and Kriging model, are employed to improve an efficiency of the RBDO.

In this study, we developed a new electric low-height beds mechanism with a stable driven rack and pinion by analyzing the current state of existing beds development and supplementing shortcomings of the beds. Structural safety is evaluated through Finite-Element-Analysis using a simulation method applying existing elevate system types and a new type. Furthermore, we designed and manufactured a trial bed with increased variable height considering medical instrument standards to use both for home and hospital. The elevation mechanism suggested in this study could be valuable to electric beds development.

In the development of eco-friendly vehicles such as electric vehicles, weight reduction has become a very important design target. Seat weight reduction is very important in vehicle weight reduction. In this study, the energy absorption characteristics of Almag material, an alloy of aluminum and magnesium, and mild steel SAFH440, SAFH590, SAFC780, and SAFH980 were analyzed to obtain a true stress versus true strain curve that was correlated with the test. By performing the seat frame structure analysis using the obtained analysis material property, it was possible to compare the deformation between lightweight material, Almag and mild steel materials. In addition, it was confirmed that the weight reduction effect was 25.8% when applying Almag, an equivalent lightweight material that gives the same maximum deformation as SAFH980, a high-strength mild steel.

선박 건조 과정에서 블록이나 장비를 지지하는 A형 캐리어 구조는 하중 변경과 시간이 지남에 따라 점차 변형이 증가하며, 이 에 따라 블록과 접촉하는 면적이 감소하고 분산된 하중에서 집중된 하중으로 패턴이 변화한다. 이러한 현상은 실제 사용 하중을 오판할 가능성이 있다. 특히 A형 캐리어는 영세한 제조 업체에서 자주 사용하고 있으며, 별도의 엔지니어링 기능이 없는 상황이 대부분이라서 손 쉽게 캐리어의 안전사용하중을 계산하는 방법의 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구는 A형 캐리어가 장기적으로 안전하게 사용할 수 있는 하중을 신속하게 평가하는 방법을 제안함으로써, 하중 분포의 변화에 따른 소성 변형과 그로 인한 안전 문제를 예측하고 대응할 수 있다. 제안된 방법은 캐리어의 중앙 집중하중과 전체 분포하중 조건에 대해서 유한요소해석(빔, 쉘 모델링)을 통한 결과를 기반으로 빔-이론을 수정하 여 제안되었다. 빔 모델링에서 집중하중 조건은 보정계수 0.73, 분포하중에서는 0.69를 이론값에 곱해서 안전사용하중이 가능하다. 쉘 모 델링의 경우, 집중하중은 0.75와 분포하중은 0.69를 사용할 수 있다. 본 연구는 선박 건조 작업 현장의 안전을 개선하고, 실제 작업 환경에 서의 안전 사용 하중 판단에 신속하고 효과적인 결정을 내릴 수 있는 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있다.
