In the industrial field, various type of fuel have been used for product processing facilities. Recent for 10 years, the usage of natural gas (NG) was gradually increased. Because it has many merits; clean fuel, no transportation, storage facility and so on. There are common safety concept that strict explosion protection approaches are needed for facilities where explosive materials such as flammable liquid, vapor and gases exist. But some has an optimistic point of view that the lighter than air gases such as NG disperse rapidly, hence do not form explosion environment upon release into the atmosphere, many parts has a conventional safety point of view that those gases are also inflammable gases, hence can form explosion environment although the extent is limited and present. In this paper, the heating equipments (Hot Oil Heater) was reviewed and some risk management measures were proposed. These measures include hazardous area classification and explosion-proof provisions of electric apparatus, an early gas leak detection and isolation, ventilation system reliability, emergency response plan and training and so on. This study calculates Hazardous Area Classification using the hypothetical volume in the KS C IEC code.

Fe3O4/Fe/graphene nanocomposite powder is synthesized by electrical wire explosion of Fe wire and dispersed graphene in deionized water at room temperature. The structural and electrochemical characteristics of the powder are characterized by the field-emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, field-emission transmission electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and galvanometric discharge-charge method. For comparison, Fe3O4/Fe nanocomposites are fabricated under the same conditions. The Fe3O4/Fe nanocomposite particles, around 15-30 nm in size, are highly encapsulated in a graphene matrix. The Fe3O4/Fe/graphene nanocomposite powder exhibits a high initial charge specific capacity of 878 mA/g and a high capacity retention of 91% (798 mA/g) after 50 cycles. The good electrochemical performance of the Fe3O4/Fe/graphene nanocomposite powder is clearly established by comparison of the results with those obtained for Fe3O4/Fe nanocomposite powder and is attributed to alleviation of volume change, good distribution of electrode active materials, and improved electrical conductivity upon the addition of graphene.

가까운 은하에서 폭발적 항성생성은하의 분광 관측을 수행하여 별생성률이 높은 은하에서 별생성이 일어나는 시 간 규모에 따라 방출선의 방출 기작, 별생성률, 항성질량, 금속함량 등의 물리량 혹은 물리량 상호 간의 관계가 어떻게 다른지를 살펴보았다. 관측 대상은 별생성 나이가 매우 어린 울프-레이에 은하 21개와 상대적으로 긴 시간 규모의 별생 성이 진행 중인 자외선 초과복사 은하 13개로 보현산 천문대의 1.8 m 망원경과 4K CCD, 긴 슬릿 분광기를 이용해 광학 영역에서의 스펙트럼을 얻었다. BPT 분석도표를 그려 관측된 은하들에서 기체를 이온화시키는 원인을 살펴보면 전체적 으로는 별생성(약 50%)이 비항성적 요소인 활동은하핵(약 15%)에 비해 훨씬 높았다. 별생성과 활동은하핵이 모두 기여하 는 경우도 전체의 35%였는데, 이러한 경우에 속하는 은하는 대부분 상대적으로 나이가 많을 것으로 추정되는 자외선 초 과복사 은하였다. 관측된 은하의 항성질량 범위는 대부분 109-11 M⊙이고 별생성률은 0.01-100 M⊙ yr−1로, SDSS에서 관측 된 은하들로 구성된 별생성 주계열에 위치한다. 울프-레이에 은하와 자외선 초과복사 은하들의 항성질량, 별생성률에서 큰 차이는 없었다. 또한 폭발적 항성생성은하는 질량-금속함량 관계를 보이며, 비슷한 항성질량을 가진 SDSS 은하와 비 교했을 때 금속함량이 낮게 나타났다. 이는 이 은하들에서 별생성으로 인한 강한 피드백이 일어나고 있음을 보여준다.

To study the behavior of structures subject to blast loads it is important to calculate the loads due to the explosives accurately, especially in the case of interior explosions. It is known that numerical method based on computational fluid dynamics can estimate relatively accurate blast load due to the interior explosion including reflection effect. However, the numerical method has disadvantages that it is difficult to model the analysis and it takes much time to analyze it. Therefore, in this study, the analytical method which can include the reflection effect of the interior explosion was studied. The target structures were set as the slabs of residential buildings subject to interior explosion that could lead to massive casualties and progressive collapses. First, the numerical method is used to investigate the interior explosion effect and the maximum deflection of the slab which was assumed to be elastic, and compared with the analytical method proposed in this study. In the proposed analytical method, we determine the weighting factor of the reflection effect using the beam theory so that the explosion load calculation method becomes more accurate.

Classify of explosion hazardous areas must be made at the site where flammable materials are used. This reason is that it is necessary to manage ignition sources in of explosion hazardous areas in order to reduce the risk of explosion. If such an explosion hazard area is widened, it becomes difficult to increase the number of ignition sources to be managed. The method using the virtual volume currently used is much wider than the result using CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics). Therefore, we tried to improve the current method to compare with the new method using leakage characteristics. The result is a realistic explosion hazard if the light gas is calibrated to the mass and the heavy gas is calibrated to the lower explosion limit. However, it is considered that the safety factors should be taken into account in the calculated correction formula because such a problem should be considered as a buffer for safety.

A tensile failure criterion that can minimize the mesh-dependency of simulation results on the basis of the fracture energy concept is introduced, and conventional plasticity based damage models for concrete such as CSC model and HJC model, which are generally used for the blast analyses of concrete structures, are compared with orthotropic model in blast test to verify the proposed criterion. The numerical prediction of the time-displacement relations in mid span of the beam during blast loading are compared with experimental results. Analytical results show that the numerical error is substantially reduced and the accuracy of numerical results is improved by applying a unique failure strain value determined according to the proposed criterion.

This paper is concerned with the numerical analysis of dynamic response of floating offshore wind turbine subject to underwater explosion using an effective non-reflecting technique. An infinite sea water domain was truncated into a finite domain, and the non-reflecting technique called the perfectly matched layer(PML) was applied to the boundary of truncated finite domain to absorb the inherent reflection of out-going impact wave at the boundary. The generalized transport equations that govern the inviscid compressible water flow was split into three PML equations by introducing the direction-wise absorption coefficients and state variables. The fluid-structure interaction problem that is composed of the wind turbine and the sea water flow was solved by the iterative coupled Eulerian FVM and Largangian FEM. And, the explosion-induced hydrodynamic pressure was calculated by JWL(Jones-Wilkins-Lee) equation of state. Through the numerical experiment, the hydrodynamic pressure and the structural dynamic response were investigated. It has been confirmed that the case using PML technique provides more reliable numerical results than the case without using PML technique.

The blast load is classified into free-air blast and surface blast following the location of explosion and surface. In this paper, several equations for blast load calculation are explained briefly and a modified equation for free-air blast load is suggested. The modified equation is based on Kingery-Bulmash equation which is used in UFC 3-340-02 and Conwep model. In this modified equation, the process of calculation is simplified against the original equation, and the number of coefficients is reduced under 5. As a result, each parameter of estimated data by modified equation has less than 1% of error range comparing with Kingery-Bulmash equation.

Tin is one of the most promising anode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries with a high energy density. However, the commercialization of tin-based anodes is still hindered due to the large volume change (over 260%) upon lithiation/delithiation cycling. To solve the problem, many efforts have been focused on enhancing structural stability of tin particles in electrodes. In this work, we synthesize tin nano-powders with an amorphous carbon layer on the surface and surroundings of the powder by electrical wire explosion in alcohol-based liquid media at room temperature. The morphology and microstructures of the powders are characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Xray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The electrochemical properties of the powder for use as an anode material for lithium-ion battery are evaluated by cyclic voltammetry and a galvanometric dischargecharge method. It is shown that the carbon-coated tin nano-powders prepared in hexanol media exhibit a high initial charge specific capacity of 902 mAh/g and a high capacity retention of 89% after 50 cycles.

본 논문에서는 폭발해석에서 주로 사용되는 폭발하중의 압력-시간 이력곡선과 폭발하중 산정식인 Conwep 모델을 소개하고, 이를 더욱 간편하게 계산할 수 있는 간략 폭발하중 산정식을 제안한다. 폭발해석에서 폭발하중은 일반적으로 압력-시간 이력곡선의 형태로 적용되며, 그에 대한 주요 값들은 폭발하중 산정식에 의해 계산된다. 대부분의 폭발해석에서 사용되는 폭발하중 산정식인 Conwep 모델은 환산거리(scaled distance)를 핵심변수로 하여 계산되는데, 그 계산 과정이 매우 복잡한 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 환산거리를 변수로 갖는 간략한 유리식을 사용하여 주요 값들을 계산하고, 단순화된 압력-시간 이력곡선으로 폭발하중을 산정할 수 있도록 제안하였다. 간략식을 찾는 과정에서 Conwep 모델의 계산 결과를 바탕으로 곡선 적합(curve fitting) 방식이 사용되었으며, 제안된 간략식에 의한 주요 값의 계산 결과는 Conwep 모델과 비교하여 1% 미만의 오차를 갖는다. 또한, 유한요소를 이용한 폭발해석에 적용하였으며 Conwep 모델을 적용한 결과와 비교를 통해 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는 부분 보강된 CFT 기둥의 폭발저항성능을 일반 CFT 기둥과 비교하여 강판 보강의 효과를 확인하였다. 폭발하중을 받는 CFT 기둥의 구조해석에는 폭발과 충돌 해석을 위한 특수한 하이드로코드인 Autodyn을 사용하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 콘크리트와 이를 둘러싸고 있는 강판 사이의 상호작용을 모델링하는 여러 방법이 있다. 본 연구에서는 기둥의 실제 파괴를 표현하기 위해 마찰 옵션 및 조인 옵션으로 모델링하였다. 해석에 따르면, 부분 보강된 CFT 기둥은 일반 CFT 기둥에 비해 더 나은 폭발저항효과를 나타내었다. 보강 CFT기둥의 폭발저항성능은 콘크리트를 둘러싸고 있는 부분 보강된 강판의 높이가 높을수록 향상되었으며 CFT 기둥의 단면 크기 이상으로 보강할 것을 추천한다.

When an engine connecting rod is designed, it’s important to consider the buckling strength as well as deformation and durability of the rod. The buckling strength of a rod is mainly affected by the shape and area of shank cross-section and boundary conditions of its small and big ends. Buckling analysis by finite element method was carried out to evaluate the elastic buckling strength of a connecting rod that has non-uniform cross section areas. And the Merchant-Rankine formula was applied to predict the inelastic critical buckling load by considering the plastic buckling strength. Finally, the maximum allowable compressive load, which has 56.57kN, was predicted by considering the 1.7 buckling safety factor. It represents an approximately 40% greater than the maximum firing pressure.

가스 생산용 해양플랜트 설비의 경우 폭발의 위험에 노출되어 있으며, 폭발사고는 구조물의 안전성에 치명적인 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 따라서, 이러한 폭발사고에 의한 피해를 최소화하기 위해서는, 폭발하중에 의한 구조부재의 동적응답 특성을 명확히 파악할 필요가 있다. 폭발하중의 경우 매우 짧은 시간 동안에 구조물에 가격되었다가 소멸되기 때문에 구조부재의 고유주기 및 폭발하중의 지속시간을 고려한 동적응답 평가가 필수적으로 요구된다. 일반적으로 가스 폭발하중의 경우, 부 압력단계가 전체 하중 이력에서 상당 부분 존재하며, 본 연구에서는 이러한 부 압력단계의 형상에 따라 총 하중 지속시간을 결정하는 하중 모델을 제안하였다. 방화벽은 폭발사고 시 장비 및 인명 피해를 방지하고자 FPSO 탑사이드 모듈 사이에 배치되는 구조부재이므로 폭발하중에 의한 응답이력 특성 분석이 반드시 필요하다. 때문에 무 감쇠 단 자유도 모델에 가스 폭발하중을 적용하여 변위응답 특성을 분석하였으며, 평판으로 구성된 방화벽의 FE 모델을 이용한 하중 지속시간과 구조부재들의 고유주기를 고려한 응답 특성을 분석하였다. LS-DYNA를 이용한 선형/비선형 구조해석 분석결과, 부 압력단계의 지속시간이 구조물의 동적응답에 큰 영향을 주는 것을 보였다.

가스 생산용 해양플랜트 설비에서 발생할 수 있는 폭발사고의 경우, 구조 시스템의 기하학적 특성이나, 바람, 가스 누출율 등과 같은 환경적 조건에 의해 피해 규모의 범위가 상당하다. 따라서 폭발파에 의한 구조 부재의 응답을 분석하기 위해서는 이러한 조건들을 고려한 가스폭발 수치해석 과정이 반드시 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 FPSO 탑사이드의 형상 및 장비 배치와 같은 세부적인 부분까지 고려하여 폭발해석을 수행하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 획득한 하중 이력들의 특성을 분석하였다. 또한 다양한 형태로 나타나는 폭발하중 이력들 중 구조물 손상에 직접적으로 영향을 미칠 수 있는 최대 압력과 지속시간들을 고려하여 유한요소해석 시 하중조건으로 적용한 후, 부재의 응답특성에 관한 분석을 수행하였다. 유한요소해석 모델은 실제 구조물에 적용이 가능하고, 복잡한 형상을 이상화한 단 자유도 및 다 자유도 모델을 사용하였다. 정 압력 및 부 압력단계의 최대 압력이 증가함에 따라 구조 부재의 최대 응답이 증가하였고, 부 압단계에서 하중 지속시간이 증가함에 따라 구조물의 최대 변위가 증가는 경향을 보였다.

The purpose of this study is to establish and examine the analytical methods based on FEA to predict the behavior of the precast prestressed concrete panels under blast loading. The precast prestressed concrete structures are on the rise, but there is little research in this regard explosion. In this paper, we set the variable to the three models. TNT 500 kg was an explosion in the standoff-distance 3m. In conclusion, the precast models damage was concentrated in the bonded portion. The concrete panels after an explosion occurred continuously deformed. But the including prestressed panels deformation occurs only at the beginning of the explosion were able to see the results.

In this paper, a finite element dynamic simulation study was performed to gain an insight about the blast wall test details for the offshore structures. The simulation was verified using qualitative and quantitative comparisons for different materials. Based on in-depth examination of blast simulation recordings, dynamic behaviors occurred in the blast wall against the explosion are determined. Subsequent simulation results present that the blast wall made of high energy absorbing high manganese steel performs much better in the shock absorption. In this paper, the existing finite element shock analysis using the LS-DYNA program is further extended to study the blast wave response of the corrugated blast wall made of the high manganese steel considering strain rate effects. The numerical results for various parameters are verified by comparing different material models with dynamic effects occurred in the blast wall from the explosive simulation.

Effect of oxygen content in the ultrafine tungsten powder fabricated by electrical explosion of wire method on the behvior of spark plasma sintering was investigated. The initial oxygen content of 6.5 wt% of as-fabricated tungsten powder was reduced to 2.3 and 0.7 wt% for the powders which were reduction-treated at 400˚C for 2 hour and at 500˚C for 1h in hydrogen atmosphere, respectively. The reduction-treated tungsten powders were spark-plasma sintered at 1200-1600˚C for 100-3600 sec. with applied pressure of 50 MPa under vacuum of 0.133 Pa. Maximun sindered density of 97% relative density was obtained under the condition of 1600˚C for 1h from the tungsten powder with 0.7 wt% oxygen. Sintering activation energy of 95.85kJ/mol-1 was obtained, which is remarkably smaller than the reported ones of 380~460kJ/mol-1 for pressureless sintering of micron-scale tungsten powders.
