Since the 2010 year, an occurring number of grand scale earthquakes which above magnitude 5.0 have increased in the world. Many types of research that deal with reducing the damage to the structure from a large-scale earthquake have proceeded. A system which could mitigate strong vertical earthquake's acceleration might apply to structure, since big earthquake cases that occurred lots of loss in Tokyo and Kobe of Japan. A plenty of bearings have installed to mitigate vibration but many parts of these lack efficient ability what we want. In addition, former vertical isolation bearings to apply for the structure have both price and size limits according to material characteristics. Therefore, this paper proposes a new type of device that is made by utilized engineering plastic and improves hitherto used vertical isolation bearing's fault.

The seismically isolated nuclear power plants shall be designed for design basis earthquake (DBE) and considered to ensure safety against beyond design basis earthquake (BDBE). In order to limit the excessive displacement of the seismic isolation system of the seismically isolated structure, the moat is installed at a certain distance from the upper mat supporting the superstructure. This certain distance is called clearance to stop (CS) and is calculated from the 90th percentile displacement of seismic isolation system subjected to BDBE. For design purposes, the CS can be obtained simply by multiplying the median displacement of the seismic isolation system against DBE by scale factor with a value of 3. The DBE and BDBE used in this study were generated by using 30 sets of artificial earthquakes corresponding to the nuclear standard design spectrum. In addition, latin hyper cube sampling was applied to generate 30 sets of artificial earthquakes corresponding to maximum - minimum spectra. For the DBE, the median displacement and the 99th percentile displacement of the seismic isolation system were calculated. For the BDBE, the suitability of the scale factor was assessed after calculating the 90th percentile displacement of the seismic isolation system.

베어링은 많은 회전체에서 사용되는 핵심부품으로, 예기치 않은 고장을 방지하기 위해 많은 연구가 집중되고 있다. 이때 중요한 것은 되도록 초기에 건전성 상태를 잘 나타내는 적절한 특징신호를 추출하는 것이다. 그러나 기존의 연구들은 주로 진단관점에서 특징신호를 추출하여 고장예지에는 적합하지 않은 측면이 있었다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위 해 베어링 고장 주파수의 에너지와 시간 사이의 상관계수 가중 합을 이용하여 베어링 수명 예측에 용이한 특징신호를 추출 하는 방법을 개발하였다. 그 결과 일반적으로 고장진단에서 많이 사용되고 있는 특징신호인 RMS에 비해서 결함 초기부터 단조로운 증가 경향의 특징신호를 추출함을 알 수 있었다. 이를 입증하기 위해서 NASA Ames에서 제공한 IMS bearing 진 동 데이터를 이용하였고 제시한 특징신호와 일반적인 RMS와 의 거동을 비교하여 유효성을 검증하였다.

The object of this paper is to examine the optimum sintering condition which have excellent mechanical properties compared to the conventional oilless bearing. It is shown that the sintering rate is the most excellent at 850°C, especially KAB-23, KAB-23G, PBF-8 specimens. With increasing the nitrogen injection rate, the apparent porosity increased gradually. In contrast, with increasing the hydrogen injection rate, the apparent porosity decreased gradually. It is shown that the apparent porosity is very useful in the range of nitrogen injection rate 2Nm 3 and hydrogen injection rate 10Nm 3 .

The object of this study is to improve the straightness in tubular shaft production. Die bearings of 1, 2 and 3 were inserted onto the lower die, respectively. In this study, the tubular shafts at the stage 5 were modelled as the standard and error cases. The error case assumes the production error of raw material. The coefficient of friction was set to the Oil_Cold conditions as referring to the analysis library. In the results, the effective stress was observed homogeneously on the distribution at yoke top in standard case. However, the effective stress was observed on the distribution at long section of yoke in case of the raw material with error. The metal flow line was stretched straight in standard case. On the other hand, the metal flow line was bent in all of error cases. The biggest displacement occurred when only one die bearing was applied. The smallest displacement occurred when two die bearings were applied in lower die.

Conventional steel and concrete piles are widely applied in civil engineering industries with long time experience and many advantages. However, steel pipe piles, a sort of most common steel pile, are prone to losing their structural integrity over time due to corrosive and humid conditions. Moreover, concrete piles such as in-situ concrete piles and pretensioned spun high strength concrete (PHC) piles are subject to deterioration of their long-term structural durability. Therefore, Hybrid FRP-concrete composite pile (HCFFT) was developed. HCFFT is consisted of pultruded FRP (PFRP) unit module, filament winding FRP which is in the outside of mandrel composed of circular shaped assembly of PFRP unit modules, and concrete which is casted inside of the circular tube shaped hybrid FRP pile. Therefore, PFRP can increase the flexural load carrying capacity, while filament winding FRP and concrete filled inside can increase axial load carrying capacity. In this paper, field loading experiments were conducted to evaluate field bearing capacity of HCFFT pile with connection and HCFFT pile without connection.

The study presents technology which can decrease the vibration of railroad station via adopting a friction bearing system beneath a platform. The platform itself then constitutes a tuned mass damper system (TMD) as the bearing provides stiffness and damping of the TMD system. To increase the robustness of the TMD system, the bearing system with adjustable stiffness is utilized. The vibration reduction performance of the TMD system is verified via numerical analysis on an elevated railroad station known as having a structural type with highest noise and vibration level. The numerical analysis is performed using a commercial program, ABAQUS. The vibration analysis is performed considering vehicle-track-structure interaction. The result of the numerical analysis shows that the TMD technology can reduce significant amount of vibration of a railroad station.

In order to modeling seismic isolation system such as lead-rubber bearing (LRB), bilinear model is widely used by many researchers. In general, an actual force-displacement relationship for LRB has a smooth hysteretic shape. So, Bouc-Wen model with smooth hysteretic shape represents more accurately actual hysteretic shape than bilinear model. In this study, seismic responses for seismically isolated nuclear power plant (NPP) with LRB modelled by Bouc-Wen and bilinear models are compared with those of NPP without seismic isolation system. To evaluate effect of earthquake characteristics for seismic responses of NPP isolated by LRB, 5 different site class earthquakes distinguished by Geomatrix 3rd Letter Site Classification and artificially generated earthquakes corresponding to standard design spectrum by Reg. Guide 1.60 are used as input earthquakes. From the seismic response results of seismically isolated NPP, it can be observed that maximum displacements of seismic isolation modelled by Bouc-Wen model are larger than those by bilinear model. Seismic responses of NPP with LRB is significantly reduced than those without LRB. This reduction effect for seismic responses of NPP subjected to Site A (rock) earthquakes is larger than that to Site E (soft soil) earthquakes.

This study dealt with truck crash performance evaluation of new guardrails made of PosMac steels considering the ground bearing capacity effect. Subsequent crash simulation results for SB2 and SB4 grades present that the developed model performs much better in containing and redirecting the impacting vehicle in a stable manner. In this paper, the existing finite element crash analysis of guardrails using the LS-DYNA program is further extended to study the nonlinear dynamic response of the guardrail structures with new type poles supported by external stiffeners. The numerical results for various parameters are verified by comparing different grades with displacements occurred in the barrier from the crash simulation.

해양사고의 건수는 연평균 1,700회 이상이며 기관손상사고는 전체의 31.5%이다. 기관손상사고 중에서도 추진축계와 관련된 사고는 과다한 부하에 기인한 베어링의 마멸로 발생하며 정상운항에 큰 피해를 줄 수 있는 매우 중요한 요인이다. 이 연구에서는 선박의 추진축계 베어링 발열 사고를 사례분석을 통해 고찰하였다. 그 결과 축계정렬불량이 주 원인으로 분석되었고 이에 대한 주기적인 점검으로 사고를 줄일 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Recently, many people have become interested in seismic stability enhancement and a chain of research and development be proceed for application of nuclear power plant according to increase the frequency and magnitude of earthquake event. Such as seismic isolation system is applied to general structure (architecture, bridge and LNG tank etc.) from ancient times. But the application results is limited for Nuclear power plant. In this paper, we proposed a stability of variable axial load from beyond design basis earthquake in Nuclear power plant. Also, the change of stiffness in isolator from the application of generally design equation is not equal to according to change in axial load compare with the experimental result in variable axial load. Therefore we proposed the empirical formula of design equation from test result of full-scale multi-lead rubber bearing for seismic analysis with real behavior (variable axial load) in the earthquake motion.

The Eradi Quake System (EQS) is a seismic isolation bearing system designed to minimize forces and displacements experienced by structures subjected to ground motion. The EQS dissipates seismic energy through friction of Poly Tetra Fluoro Ethylene (PTFE) disk pad. In general, a force-displacement relationship of EQS has post yield stiffness hardening during large inelastic displacement. In this study, seismic responses of seismically isolated nuclear power plant (NPP) subjected to design basis earthquake (DBE) and beyond design basis earthquakes (150% DBE and 167% DBE) are compared considering the post yield stiffness hardening effect of EQS. From the results, it can be observed that if the post-yield stiffness hardening effect of EQS is increased, the displacement response of EQS is reduced, and the acceleration and shear responses of containment structures of NPP is increased.

The lead-rubber bearing (LRB) dissipates seismic energy through plastic deformation of lead core. Under large-displacement cyclic motion, the temperature increases in the lead core. The shear strength of a lead–rubber bearing is reduced due to the heating effect of the lead core. In this study, the seismic responses such as displacement increasing, shear strength and vertical stiffness degradations of LRB due to the heating effect are evaluated for design basis earthquake (DBE) and beyond design basis earthquake (150% DBE, 167% DBE, 200% DBE).

In order to increase seismic performance of nuclear power plant (NPP) in strong seismic zone, lead-rubber bearing (LRB) can be applied to seismic isolation system of NPP structures. Simple equivalent linear model as structural analysis model of LRB is more widely used in initial design process of LRB than a bilinear model. Seismic responses for seismically isolated NPP containment structures subjected to earthquakes categorized into 5 different soil-site classes are calculated by both of the equivalent linear- and bilinear- LRB models and compared each others. It can be observed that the maximum displacements of LRB and shear forces of containment in the case of the equivalent linear LRB model are larger than those in the case of bilinear LRB model. From the seismic fragility curves of NPP containment structures isolated by LRB, it can be observed that seismic fragility in the case of equivalent linear LRB model are about 5~30 % larger than those in the case of bilinear LRB model.

This study was designed to evaluate the possibility of increase through dairy female offspring’s ratio by transfer of pre-selected transferrable blastocyst that was produced by pre-selected X-bearing semen with OPU derived oocytes. Elite dairy female cow is demanded strongly compared with male, the so called, farmer wants to produce only an elite female dairy offspring as a candidate female dairy cow for producing milk. In our study, we selected 2 elite dairy bull semen from National Agricultural Cooperative Federation to pre-select X-bearing semen and 5 elite dairy female cows as donor for collecting of OPU derived oocytes. OPU derived embryo production system was carried out an aspiration of immature oocytes from 5 donor cows 2 times per week, total 200 times for 2 to 7 months by an ultrasonographic guided follicular aspiration system and then produced in vitro-produced blastocysts by in vitro maturation, fertilization and culture. Dairy donor semen selected H-319, 320 bull in National Agricultural Cooperative federation was sorted X-bearing semen by flow-cytometer and frozen for using IVF with OPU derived oocytes. Donor cows were selected 5 elite dairy cows from Gyeongju Dairy Cow Community and then disease tests such as 4 kinds of disease before selecting was checked. Oocyte proportion of grade 1 to 3 from total collected oocytes was significantly lower in donor A and B than those in donor C, D and E (82.16 and 70.03% vs. 90.0, 91.78 and 93.57%), respectively (p<0.05). However, number of oocytes per session in donor A, C and E was significantly higher than those in donor B and D (7.77 ± 3.26, 5.85 ± 2.10 and 7.03 ± 2.14 vs. 4.68 ± 2.61 and 5.21 ± 1.97 oocytes), but donor A was significantly higher than donor C (p<0.05). Development to blastocyst in donor B, C and E was significantly higher than those in donor A and D (31.0, 25.0 and 25.0% vs. 14.3 and 4.5%), but donor A was not different in donor C and E (p<0.05). Nine out of 10 blastocysts (90.0%) derived from OPU blastocysts were confirmed male embryos that was induced with Y-bearing semen to confirm sex ratio only. Total 96 blastocysts derived from female bearing semen were transferred into synchronized recipients and then confirmed 42 recipients (43.8%) pregnancy rate, 36 offspring (37.5%) and 91.7% female sex ratio (33 female vs. 3 male offspring). Taken together all data, elite dairy female offspring could be produced effectively by in vitro production system between pre-selected x-bearing semen and OPU derived oocytes that would be influential breeder in the breeding of dairy farm to increase effectively elite dairy offspring ratio as well as net income in the dairy farmer.
