In contemporary global warfare, the significance and imperative of air transportation have been steadily growing. The Republic of Korea Air Force currently operates only light and medium-sized military cargo planes, but does not have a heavy one. The current air transportation capability is limited to meet various present and future air transport needs due to lack of performance such as payload, range, cruise speed and altitude. The problem of population cliffs and lack of airplane parking space must also be addressed. These problems can be solved through the introduction of heavy cargo planes. Until now, most studies on the need of heavy cargo plane and increasing air transport capability have focused on the necessity. Some of them suggested specific quantity and model but have not provided scientific evidence. In this study, the appropriate ratio of heavy cargo plane suitable for the Korea's national power was calculated using principal component analysis and cluster analysis. In addition, an optimization model was established to maximize air transport capability considering realistic constraints. Finally we analyze the results of optimization model and compare two alternatives for force structure.

The curb weight of electric trucks is more than 10% higher than that of conventional internal combustion engine trucks due to the motor and battery. For this reason, cargo box developed for small electric trucks is required weight reduction, and cargo door that can reduce weight and maintain strength are being developed. In this paper, we designed the lightweight cargo door, confirmed the stability of the door through structural analysis, and developed a cargo box door that was more than 25% lighter by applying composite materials such as Sheet Molding Compound(SMC) and Fiber Reinforced Plastic(FRP).

In contemporary global warfare, the significance and imperative of air transportation have been steadily growing. Nevertheless, the Korean Air Force currently operates only with small and medium-sized military cargo planes, lacking larger aircraft. Consequently, the efficiency of their operations is constrained by the limited air transport capacity and the aging of their existing fleet, among other factors. Therefore, we have to consider to make future air transportation capability. Although the 2nd large-sized cargo-plane acquisition project is ongoing, its quantity is very small. In this study, we propose an optimal prediction model that takes into account practical constraints such as parking space availability, pilot availability, wartime daily maximum loads, while simultaneously maximizing both the effectiveness and efficiency of transport capacity for future warfare envirionment.

The demand for LNG Carrier and LNG fuel ships are increasing due to global carbon neutrality declaration and ship emissions regulation of IMO, domestic shipyards pay technology fees(about 5~10% of ship price per vessel) to GTT company in France for making LNG cargo hold. Localization of LNG cargo hold is needed to reduce technology fees and engage technological competitiveness, it is important to secure the critical technology like automation process development of insulation system process. Especially, the automation rate of membrane-type insulation system is very low due to interference caused by corrugation and difficulty in securing optimal variable welding condition. In this study, to solve this problem, automatic welding is performed using developed automatic welding equipment on STS304L steel which is used in flat and corner area of membrane-type LNG cargo hold's lap joint. After welding, Cross-sectional observations and Tensile strength tests were conducted to evaluate reliability of equipment and welding condition. As a result of the test, it was confirmed that the strength of the welded zone exceeded that of base material, and secured the optimal welding condition to apply automatic welding.

Since 2024, small business are also going to be ruled under the Serious Accident Punishment Act. As the scope of the law expands, the small logistics companies are required to pay more attention on preventing serious accidents on the field. Freight vehicle accidents can cause personnel accidents and cargo accidents which are the two serious accidents that the Serious Accident Punishment Act is trying to prevent. The purpose of this research are to study the factors that cause the serious accidents that happens in the small logistics companies and to suggest preventive. The results of the study shows that fall prevention is the top-priority and then driving experience, safety management, and cargo driving hours. However, the gaps between the evaluation values of each are not huge, which means all the preventives are significant.

After the Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan in March 2011, many Koreans were concerned that products exposed to radioactive materials released from the nuclear power plant would be imported into Korea. Systematic radiation monitoring was required for food and daily necessities imported from the nuclear accident area. The need for a legal system to support systematic radiation monitoring was also demanded. The Act on Protective Action Guidelines against Radiation in the Natural Environment was enacted to resolve concerns regarding environmental radiation in Korea in July 2011. According to this law, radiation monitoring equipment has been installed and operated at major airports and ports nationwide. This paper aims to review the radiation monitoring system of the Korean government comprehensively. The legal system and the legal basis for radiation monitoring of imported cargo conducted by each department were investigated by analyzing the laws and regulations of radiation monitoring for the relevant cargo items. In addition, the current status of radiation monitoring by the government departments was examined to determine how radiation monitoring for imported cargo is performed within the legal system. The investigation of the current radiation monitoring system for imported cargo in Korea confirmed that radiation monitoring is conducted by classifying cargo items under the jurisdiction of each government department for all imported cargo. However, the reduction in efficiency of radiation monitoring of imported cargoes, unclear legal grounds for radiation monitoring of imported cargo by some departments, the occurrence of overlapping inspections by departments, and the difficult process of issuing the radiation test certificate required for customs clearance by the Korea Customs Service were also identified. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the current radiation monitoring system for imported cargo in Korea ought to be improved, taking into account efficiency, overlapping inspection, legal background, and the difficult process of issuing the certificates.

In modern society, the delivery service market has grown explosively due to rapid changes in social structure and the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, various problems such as injury to workers and an increase in human accidents are occurring due to the loading and unloading of parcels. In order to solve this problem, domestic company n is developing a “robot-based cargo loading and unloading system”. In developing a new technology system, quantitative reliability targets should be set for efficient operation and development. In this paper, reliability analysis was conducted through field data for the pneumatic gripper of the “robot-based cargo loading system”. The reliability of the failure data was analyzed to estimate the distribution parameters and MTTF. Random data was derived for the probability of occurrence of a failure with the estimated value. By repeating the simulation to predict the number and year of failures according to the estimated parameters of the probability distribution, it was proposed as a method that reflects realistic probabilities rather than calculating with simple arithmetic using the average MTTF previously used in the field.

Rack is a place to store products. Workers pick products from rack storage. After picking up, workers move to another location by forklift. Driving speed, worker condition, and number/frequency of operation is responsible for forklift accidents. When an accident occurs, products get damaged. Therefore, it is important to prevent one. As the research result, To prevent forklift accidents, the minimum order quantity, the minimum number of operations, and low speed operation are required.

선박의 피로 손상 해석에는 운항적인 요소를 고려한 매개 변수들을 포함하고 있다. 이러한 운항적인 변수들 때문에 설계 단계 에서 예측하는 피로 손상도와 실제 운항 조건을 고려한 피로 손상도간의 차이가 발생한다. 마찬가지로 피로 해석에서 적재 하중 조건을 고려할 때 실제 컨테이너선은 다양한 적재 상태가 존재하지만 설계 단계에서 대표 하중 조건을 선택하여 피로 손상도를 계산한다. 실제 하중 조건과 설계시 하중 조건을 적용하였을 때 피로 손상 계산 결과의 차이가 예상됨에도 불구하고 컨테이너선의 하중 조건에 따른 피 로 손상 기여도에 관한 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않은 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 컨테이너선의 화물 중량 분포를 변화시켰을 때 피로 손상 기여도를 분석하고자 하였다. 일반적으로 설계 단계에서 적용하는 하중 조건뿐만 아니라 다양한 하중 조건을 생성하고 유체동역학 계산 으로 얻을 수 있는 선체 거더 하중 및 스펙트럴 피로 해석을 수행하여 얻은 피로 손상도를 확인하였다. 그 결과, 컨테이너선에서 화물 중 량 분포 변화는 선체 거더 하중을 변화시켰으며 선체 거더 응력에 영향을 주어 피로 손상의 변화를 야기시키는 것을 알 수 있었다.

When picking up cargo, workers manually load and unload the cargo. Workers have different intensity of work depending on the amount and weight of cargo. In particular, as the intensity of manual work increases, workers are exposed to cumulative traumatic diseases. A manual for picking safety work for workers cargo handling in the distribution center is required. In this study, the worker’s picking safety work based on the cargo volume and weight was presented as an experimental design model. Like the research results, the disease begins when the worker feels the number of pains presented by the model.

Asphalt concrete(Ascon) is used to repair potholes and cracks. Special truck-mounted cargo boxes transport 200℃ asphalt concrete to repair potholes and cracks. However, long working and transportation hours to repair wide roads decrease the temperature of the asphalt concrete inside the cargo boxes. If the asphalt concrete temperature drops below 170℃, the adhesion with roads that need repair decreases. Therefore, the temperature of the asphalt concrete needs to be maintained for a long time. Conventional asphalt concrete cargo boxes are mostly burner-type models using hot air to prevent the temperature of the asphalt concrete from dropping. However, there are significant temperature differences between the asphalt concrete near and far away from the hot air, so the temperature decreases over time and leads to the disposal of large amounts of asphalt concrete. This causes waste of resources and environmental pollution. Therefore, this study proposed a heat dissipation cut-off type cargo box model to solve this problem and demonstrated its performance over conventional burner-type models through tests and analysis.

In this study, we proposed a method to measure and analyze the vibration problem in cargo pipes during the sea trial for 80K LPG vessel. Pipe vibration was identified as resonance with the propeller 1st order component, which is one of the main excitation forces in the normal continuous rating (NCR). In order to avoid resonance in the NCR, a reinforcement method was established through finite element method (FEM) analysis. In the future, the advance application of cargo pipe reinforcement is expected to be useful for reducing the vibration of the cargo pipes in ships whose order and specification are similar to those of the vessel used in this study.

카페리 선박의 안전 운항을 위한 요소 중 화물 고박안전성 분야는 2015년 이후 화물고박기준이 적용되어 파랑에 의해 발생하는 선체운동과 고박력을 상호 비교하여 평가하고 있다. 항해 중 카페리 선박의 안전 운항을 담보하기 위해서는 운항해역의 기상정보를 바탕으로 선체운동을 해석하여 화물의 이동을 방지할 수 있는 고박력을 결정하는 것이 중요하다. 이 연구에서는 부산-제주를 항행하는 총톤수 3,700톤급 카페리 선박을 대상으로 기상청이 운용하는 해상파고부이 3기의 최근 5년간 기상정보를 분석하였으며, 실제 해상에서 선체운동을 계측하고 수치시뮬레이션을 수행하여 선체가속도를 비교하였다. 태풍기간을 제외한 2~3월의 유의파고를 입력조건으로 선체운동을 해석한 결과, 유의파고 2.5 m 조건에서 횡방향 가속도가 실선계측에서는 1.5 m/s2, 수치계산에서는 1.8 m/s2로 이론적 수치시뮬레이션의 결과가 크게 나타났다. 파고별 선체운동을 추정하는 가속도를 실선결과 기반으로 보정하는 근사식을 제안하여, 운송화물의 고박안전성 평가에 적용한 결과 풍랑경보 대비 일반 기상조건에서는 40 % 이하로 분석되었다. 운항해역의 기상정보를 바탕으로 실선계측에 따른 정량적인 가속도 결과를 활용하는 고박안전성 평가 기법이 널리 보급되어 국내 연안 카페리선박의 안전 운항 지침에 적용되기를 기대한다.
