본 연구는 구조주의 비평을 활용하여 구약성서의 ‘소돔과 고모라’ 이야기( 창 세기 19:1-38)를 한국 전통 설화인 <장자못> 설화와 비교함으로써, 고대 이스 라엘과 한국 전통 설화에 내재한 ‘금기’와 ‘위반’이라는 원형적 상상력과 사유 체계를 지배하는 심층구조를 고찰한다. 두 이야기는 서로 다른 문화적 배경에도 불구하고, 금기와 위반이라는 주제를 중심으로 여성의 석화(石化)라는 공통된 구조적 모티프를 공유한다. <장자못> 설화에서는 하나님의 천사 대신 스님이 등 장하고, 롯의 아내 대신 착한 며느리가 등장하는 등 문화적 요소의 차이가 존재 하지만, ‘뒤돌아보지 말라’는 금기 위반으로 인한 변신이라는 서사 구조는 유사 하다. 롯의 아내가 정화, 보전, 불멸, 계약을 상징하는 ‘소금’ 기둥으로 변하고, <장자못> 설화의 며느리 역시 금기 위반으로 ‘돌’이 되는 변신은 성스러움과 속 됨의 경계에 위치한 인간의 존재와 통과 의례의 어려움을 상징하며, 인간의 연 약함과 경계 넘기의 한계를 드러낸다.

Truss structures, widely used in engineering, consist of straight members transferring axial forces. Traditional analysis methods like FEM and the Force Method become computationally expensive for large-scale and nonlinear problems. Surrogate models using Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), particularly Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), offer alternatives but require extensive training data and computational resources. Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQAs) address these challenges by leveraging quantum circuits for optimization with fewer parameters. Variational Quantum Circuits (VQCs) based on Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs) utilize quantum entanglement and superposition to approximate high-dimensional data efficiently, making them suitable for computationally intensive tasks like surrogate modeling in structural analysis. This study applies QNNs to truss analysis using 6-bar and 10-bar planar trusses, assessing their feasibility. Results indicate that residual-based loss functions enable QNNs to make reliable predictions, with increased layers improving accuracy and a higher Q-bit count contributing to performance, albeit marginally.

The rotary type dust remover is a device in which the rake assembly filters and processes clumps in the water while rotating and repeating movements along the track. It is installed in the pump suction part of the drainage pump station and the rainwater pump station to protect the pump to ensure smooth drainage. Since the rake assembly plays a key role in filtering out complications while passing through the water, stainless steel is applied to all components constituting it, and damage or failure due to deformation causes a crisis in case of heavy rain. This is because the existing rake assembly is excellent in rigidity, but all components are assembled by welding, which takes a lot of time for repair and replacement. In this study, shape design for rakes and assemblies of the rotary type dust remover, structural analysis to secure reliability, and demonstration tests were conducted through prototype production. Through this, it is intended to help prevent the stiffness of the joint of the rotary type dust remover from deteriorating, reduce time and cost, and efficient operation.

In this paper, the design feasibility of the high-temperature rotation test jig for the operating state of gas turbine blades was confirmed through thermal structural analysis and modal analysis. The structural analysis model was composed of assembled blade, disc, cover, and shaft. Here, the disc was designed to be assembled with two types of blade. First, thermal analysis was performed by applying the blade surface temperature of 800°C. Next, structural analysis was performed at 3600 RPM, the normal operating condition, and 4320 RPM, the overspeed operation condition. Lastly, modal analysis was performed to examine the natural frequency and deformation of the jig. The FE analysis showed that the temperature decreased from the blade to disc dovetail. Additionally, both the blade and disc showed structural stability as the maximum stress was below the yield strength. Also, the first natural frequency was 636.35Hz and 639.43Hz at 3600RPM and 4320RPM, respectively, satisfying gas turbine design standards and guidelines. Ultimately, the designed test jig was confirmed to be capable of high temperature and rotation testing of various blades.

Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) is applied to analyze the coherent structure of three-dimensional cylinder wake flow. The flow field data, such as velocity and pressure as functions of time, was obtained by the incompressible CFD analysis. The resulting CFD data was then used to determine eigenvalues, POD modes, and time coefficients through POD process. The flow field was approximately reconstructed using some of lower POD modes. The three-dimensional field reconstructed using the low-order model was found to be in good agreement with the original. This verifies that low-dimensional modeling of complex flow fields is fully possible.

This study investigates the structural stability of a telescopic arm designed for a painting robot through finite element analysis (FEA). As factory automation progresses, robots are increasingly used to replace hazardous tasks like painting. However, the heavy weight of telescopic arms poses significant control challenges. This research specifically examines the structural stability of a 7.4-meter telescopic arm, designed for use in a 14m x 14m large-scale block painting environment. The telescopic arm consists of six steel links, each ranging from 700 mm to 1500 mm, and supports a 50 kg painting robot mounted at the end of Link 6. Using Dassault System’s Abaqus2022 software, simulations were performed in both stretched and rotated modes to analyze self-weight effects and structural stability. The results revealed maximum deflection of 92.3 mm in stretched mode and 127.3 mm in rotated mode, with the highest stress concentration of 416.8 MPa occurring at the Link 3 and Link 4 connection. To improve stability, additional reinforcement materials and an increase in connector thickness from 40 mm to 80 mm were applied, successfully reducing maximum stress to 94.3 MPa. These findings suggest an effective enhancement in the stability of the telescopic arm under various operational modes.

In order to revitalize the marine leisure industry, researches on various leisure vessels have been widely conducted in Korea. In particular, in the field of leisure sports, researches and developments for improving the performance of high-speed motorboats are actively progressing. For reducing the weight of motorboats various composite materials are applied to the hull, and these composite materials must ensure structural safety. In this study, the material properties of composite materials applied to tunnel-type motorboats, used in the OSY(Outboard Stock Yamato)-400 race, were evaluated and the structural analysis was performed to examine the safety of the motorboat hull. Material tests were conducted according to Korean Industrial Standard and structural analysis of finite elements model of the motorboat hull was performed under longitudinal bending and torsional load conditions, respectively. By comparing the analysis results with the material test results, it was confirmed that the applied composite material meets the required strength.

In conventional construction practices, roof-parapet junction structures inevitably disrupt the insulation installation's continuity, leading to energy loss and thermal bridging. To address this issue, parapet thermal breaks were installed to interrupt the heat flow between the roof and the parapet, effectively preventing thermal bridging and energy loss and thereby reducing overall energy loss in buildings. This study equipped three experimental specimens with the developed parapet thermal breaks to verify their structural performance. These specimens were subjected to unidirectional loading under displacement-controlled conditions. The structural performance of these insulation structures was evaluated by comparing and analyzing the test results with corresponding analytical studies conducted using a finite element analysis program. In addition, five analytical models with varying parameters of the parapet thermal breaks were developed and compared against the baseline model. Consequently, the most efficient shape of the parapet thermal break was determined.

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.

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.
