Although the Ti–6Al–4V alloy has been used in the aircraft industry owing to its excellent mechanical properties and low density, the low formability of the alloy hinders broadening its applications. Recently, laser-powder bed fusion (L-PBF) has become a novel process for overcoming the limitations of the alloy (i.e., low formability), owing to the high degree of design freedom for the geometry of products having outstanding performance used in hightech applications. In this study, to investigate the effect of bulk shape on the microstructure and mechanical properties of L-PBFed Ti-6Al-4V alloys, two types of samples are fabricated using L-PBF: thick and thin samples. The thick sample exhibits lower strength and higher ductility than the thin sample owing to the larger grain size and lower residual dislocation density of the thick sample because of the heat input during the L-PBF process.

본 논문에서는 LS-DYNA를 활용한 원자력발전소 설치 로드블록 차량 시뮬레이션 방법을 소개한다. 차량 강습 위협이 원자력 발전 소의 설계기준위협으로 포함된 이후로 차량 강습을 대비하기 위한 차량 방벽(Anti-ram barrier)의 성능 평가 소요가 커지고 있다. 차량 방벽은 일반적으로 충돌 실험을 통하여 성능을 인증 받는다. 하지만 국내에서는 차량 방벽에 대한 성능 시험 시설이 마련되어 있지 않 아, 시뮬레이션을 통한 차량 방벽 성능 검증이 필요하다. LS-DYNA는 충돌 시뮬레이션에 특화되어 있으며, NCAC를 비롯한 여러 기 관에서 충돌 시험과의 타당성 검증을 완료한 수치 모델을 배포하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 로드블록의 가장 핵심적인 차량 차단막 모듈 의 FE 모델을 구축하여 충돌 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 계산된 결과는 NCHRP 179의 차량 안전 시설 충돌 시뮬레이션 검증 기준을 준용하여 검증하였다. 그 결과 모래시계 에너지(hourglass energy)가 총 에너지의 5%를 넘지 않고 내부 에너지의 10%를 넘지 않는 것 을 확인하였으며, added mass가 1% 미만으로 기준인 10%를 넘지 않는 것을 확인하였다. 향후 FE 모델을 활용하여 물리적 방벽의 성 능을 평가하여 데이터 베이스를 구축할 예정이다.

PURPOSES : The purposes of this study are to identify appropriate numbers of drivers for different time periods by analyzing the service times of the Special Transportation System and to shorten the waiting time to within 15 minutes. METHODS : In this study, the service time is divided into the call connection time (At), dispatch time after reception (Bt), vehicle arrival time after dispatch (Ct), and vehicle boarding time (Dt), and the annual average value for each time zone is calculated by analyzing the dispatch system database. Furthermore, the number of drivers working in each time period is extracted and the appropriate number of drivers for ensuring the dispatch waiting time remains within 15 minutes is determined. RESULTS : It is more accurate to interpret the decrease in dispatches during lunchtime as a decrease in the number of operational vehicles owing to the drivers' lunchtimes rather than a decrease in demand. During lunchtime (as in previous studies) the number of operations decreases, but the average dispatch time (Bt) greatly increases to 22:42; thus, it cannot be seen as a decrease in dispatch demand. The number of operations during lunchtime is proportional to the number of drivers on duty. The number of drivers on duty is inversely proportional to the average dispatch time. If the number of drivers is increased by 11.6%, the average waiting time can be reduced to within 15 minutes. CONCLUSIONS : To resolve delayed call connection issues, we will introduce an artificial intelligence (AI) call center. During the hours of 7 PM to 6 AM, calls will mainly be handled by AI and the counseling personnel will switch to daytime work. We will also increase the number of drivers by 11.6% to ensure that the dispatch time does not exceed an average of 15 minutes after receiving a call. In particular, we will generate the work schedule such that more than 131 drivers work in the 12:00 to 13:00 hours during lunch time to improve the situation where users have to wait for a long time. To do this, we will overlap the work hours for 2 hours in Jeonju and 1 hour in other cities and counties. We have to increase the number of night shift workers from seven to 15 so that all cities and counties can operate vehicles 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

PURPOSES : Advancements in science and technology caused by industrialization have led to an increase in particulate matter emissions and, consequently, severity of air pollution. Nitrogen oxide (NOx), which accounts for 58% of road transport pollutants, adversely affects both human health and the environment. A test-bed was constructed to determine NOx removal efficiency at the roadside. TiO2, a material used to reduce particulate matter, was used to remove NOx. It was applied to a vertical concrete structure using the dynamic pressurized penetration TiO2 fixation method, which can be easily applied to vertical concrete structures. This study was conducted to evaluate the NOx removal efficiency of the dynamic pressurized-penetration TiO2 fixation method in a test-bed under real roadside conditions. METHODS : A test-bed was constructed in order to determine the NOx removal efficiency using the dynamic pressurized penetration TiO2 fixation method on the roadside. The dynamic pressurized-penetration TiO2 fixation method was applied by installing a vertical concrete structure. NOx was injected into the test-bed using an exhaust gas generator. By installing a shading screen, the photocatalytic reaction of TiO2 was suppressed to a maximum concentration of 1000 ppb along the roadside. The removal efficiency was evaluated by measuring NOx concentrations. In addition, illuminance was measured using an illuminance meter. RESULTS : From the results of the analysis of the NOx removal efficiency in the test-bed which the dynamic pressurized type TiO2 fixation method was applied to, an average removal efficiency ranging from 18% to 40% was achieved, depending on the illuminance. Similarly, according to the results of the evaluation of the NO removal efficiency, an average of removal efficiency ranging from 20% to 62% was achieved. Thus, the NOx removal efficiency increased when the illuminance was high. CONCLUSIONS : From the results of the experiment conducted, the efficiency of NOx removal per unit volume was obtained according to the illuminance of TiO2 concrete along an actual road. Field applicability of the dynamic pressurized-penetration-type TiO2 fixation method to vertical concrete structures along roads was confirmed.

This study evaluates the performance of three theoretical models for correcting dynamic pressure affected by tube length. The experiments involved measuring sinusoidal pressure waves with varying frequency bandwidths, using tubing systems ranging from 20 cm to 300 cm in length including multiple tubing systems connecting three or more tubes. The results showed that the Bergh and Tijdeman models, with constant and variable polytropic parameters respectively, had superior correction performance for various tube lengths, while the Whitmore & Leondes model showed discrepancies. The Bergh & Tijdeman model, with a polytropic parameter of 1.4, is recommended due to its convenience and accuracy. Furthermore, including the inner volume of the pressure transducer in the theoretical model was found to be crucial for accurate correction, as not doing so caused significant errors. The Bergh & Tijdeman model was also found to efficiently correct tube length effects in multiple tubing systems, eliminating the need for time-consuming and laborious experiments.

본 연구에서는 연안이나 항만에 방치돼 해양환경과 선박운항 안전에 위협이되는 폐 FRP 선박의 처리 법률과 정책에 관한 개선방안을 제시하고자 한다. FRP 선박의 방치가 늘고 있는 것은 처리에 비용이 많이 들고, 적절한 수거처리 시스템이 갖추어지지 않았기 때문이다. 해양수산부 등록어선통계에 따르면 2020년 기준 우리나라 등록어선 척수는 65,774척이고, 이중 FRP 재질의 어선은 63,314척으로 전체의 95%를 차지한다. 그중에서 폐선 선령으로 분류되는 26년 이상의 선박이 6,411척이다. 그 뿐만 아니라 2020년 말 기준으로 해양경찰청에 등록된 동력수상레저기구 중 FRP 선박은 21,903척인데, 대부분 일본 등지에서 수입한 중고선이어서 현재 폐선 연령에 도달한 선박도 상당수로 추정된다. 우 리보다 먼저 방치 FRP 선박 처리문제를 겪은 일본은 2005년부터 레저보트와 어선 등 FRP 선박 처리를 위해 FRP 선박 리사이클링 시스템을 운영하고 있다. 미국 주정부는 방치선박 제거를 위해 방치선박법 제정, 방치선박 제거프로그램 운영과 기금을 설치하고 있고, 선박반납프로그램도 운영하고 있다. 또한 2020년 부터 미국 연방정부는 2016년 로드아일랜드 주정부에서 시작한 FRP 보트 리사 이클링 시스템을 다른 주정부로 확산하고 있다. 우리나라도 선령 26년 이상의 FRP 어선이 연간 800척씩 증가하고, 폐선 선령에 도달한 레저선박도 적지 않아 일본과 미국과 같은 방치 FRP 선박의 재활용을 위한 시스템 구축이 시급하다. 방치되는 FRP 선박 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 선박 광역수거처리 시스템 구 축, 폐 FRP 선박 재활용 활성화, 선박 반납제도 도입, 레저선박 등록시스템 구 축이나 레저선박 소유자의 책임보험가입 의무화 등 법률과 정책 개선이 필요하다

As the demand for aesthetic orthodontic treatment increases, the use of self-ligating ceramic brackets is increasing. For stable treatment, there should be no fracture or deformation of the self-ligation ceramic bracket door. Therefore, considering the situation in which labial displacement of teeth occurs in the orthodontic treatment stage. For this study, a model of the mandibular anterior region of a ceramic self-ligating bracket with a passive sliding door mechanism was selected. The measured tensile force data was substituted into the simulation analysis conditions, and the tensile force, stress distribution, and deformation values were analyzed using the finite element method. Using this, it is able to use the design elements of the orthodontic bracket that should be considered as design inputs in the development stage.

시설 재배지에 음식물류폐기물 혼합 가축분 퇴비 사용이 늘어나고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 음식물류폐기물 혼합 가축분 퇴비(Food Waste Compost with manure, FWC) 연용 시 시설 토마토(Solanum lycopersicum L.)의 생육과 수량에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위해 3년간 수행하였다. 퇴비 처리는 사용량에 따른 효과를 알아보기 위하여 농촌진흥청 시설 토마토 표준 시비량(N-P2O5-K2O=20.4-10.3-12.2 kg 10a-1)의 총 질소량 기준 100%로 하여 무기질 비료 반량 + FWC 정량(NPKFWC1), 무기질 비료 반량 + FWC 2배량(NPKFWC2), 무기질 비료 반량 + FWC 3배량 (NPKFWC3)을 처리하였다. 또한, 무기질 비료 사용량에 따른 변화를 퇴비와 비교하기 위해 무기질 비료 반량(NPK 50%) 및 무기질 비료 정량 (NPK 100%, Control) 처리하였다. 초장은 FWC 처리구가 대조구 대비 높았으며, SPAD-502 값은 NPKFWC2에서는 증가하였으나, NPKFWC3는 대조구 대비 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 3년차 수확 후 토양 pH의 경우 NPKFWC3에서 6.5로 가장 높은 수치를 보였으며, 토양 EC는 NPKFWC1에서 9.5 dS m-1로 가장 높았고, NPKFWC3 처리구에서 6.9 dS m-1 가장 낮은 값을 보였다. 3년간 전체 처리구 간 과실의 평균 횡경, 종경, 당도는 차이가 없었다. 수량은 NPKFWC2까지는 높았으나, NPKFWC3에서는 오히려 대조구보다 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 따라서 무기질 비료 반량에 음식물류폐기물 혼합 가축분 퇴비 처리 시 추천 시비량 대비 2배량까지는 생육 및 수량이 증가하나 3배량에서는 오히려 감소하는 것으로 판단된다.

PURPOSES : This study describes the experimental findings on the mechanical properties of calcium aluminate cement (CAC)-based repair mortars with or without natural cellulose fiber (NCF). Additionally, the effect of adding NCF to the reduction of fugitive dust in the CAC powder was examined. METHODS : To produce mortar, four different levels of NCF (0.0.5, 1.0, and 2.0% by binder weight) were adopted, and the water-binder ratio was fixed at 0.485. The flow, strength characteristics, absorption, and surface electrical resistivity of the mortars were measured at predetermined periods. Additionally, SEM observations were performed to examine the microstructural changes and hydrates formed on the 28 day-mortar samples. RESULTS : The addition of NCF led to a decrease in fugitive dust. Regarding the mechanical properties of the mortars, that with 0.5% NCF exhibited a better performance in terms of strength development and surface electric resistivity compared to those of other mortars. However, the addition of NCF was less effective in the enhancement of the absorption of mortars. Further, we discovered that the microstructures of the mortars with additional NCF were comparatively dense compared to those without NCF. CONCLUSIONS : The appropriate addition of NCF can enhance the performance of CAC-based repair materials. However, further studies on the durability of CAC with the addition of NCF are needed to determine the optimal mixture.

The characteristics of pollutant emission for non-premixed flames with LCG 8000 and LCG 6000 represented as low calorific gases were investigated by numerical simulation. Commercial software (ANSYS 16.2 - FLUENT) is used to predict 2-D pollutant emission with GRI 3.0 detailed reaction mechanism. In addition, the addition of hydrogen to LCG 6000 was also considered. As result, the flame length and temperature of LHVGs were decreased with decreasing calorific value at the same condition. In addition, NO concentration was decreased as temperature decreased. However, CO concentration for LCG 8000 predicted to be slightly higher than that for methane due to the high propane concentration. In the case of LCG 6000 with added hydrogen, the flame length was the shortest and NO concentration was the highest due to the highest flame temperature, but CO concentration decreased rapidly due to the addition of the carbon-free fuel.

본 연구는 새만금 농생명용지와 주변 지역의 간척 전후 생태계서비스를 평가하고 증진방안을 마련하기 위해 수행하 였다. 새만금 지역의 생태계서비스 기능은 토지 유형에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 간척 전 새만금은 공급, 조절, 문화, 지지서비스 기능이 모두 높았으나 간척 후에는 공급, 조절, 지지서비스 기능이 하락했다. 따라서 새만금 농생명 용지의 생태계서비스를 증진하려면 논 습지, 저수지 등의 반(半)자연생태계가 가지는 공급, 조절, 지지서비스를 강화하는 것이 필요하다. 현재 남아 있는 산림, 도서 지역 등의 자연생태계와 광활한 농경지를 농촌관광 및 생태관광을 특화하고, 농업과 관련된 교육․연구 위주의 문화서비스 기능을 강화할 필요가 있다. 이를 위해 넓은 농경지와 농업 기반을 활용하여 농업생산, 농촌관광 등을 활성화하고 고령화가 진행되고 있는 지역에 대한 정부의 지원이 필요하다.
