As nuclear decommissioning ventures become increasingly complex, the role of digitalization in facilitating and enhancing these operations is becoming indispensable. This transition to a more digitized approach presents a myriad of advantages, including: augmented avenues for data acquisition, analysis, and visualization to bolster dismantling strategies; simulations in virtual environments for operator training; precise forecasting of future waste emergence, culminating in refined cost estimations; and more immersive decommissioning visualizations for both operators and external stakeholders. Salient benefits conferred by the integration of digital technologies in decommissioning encompass improved collaboration, enriched knowledge transfer, clarity regarding present technological constraints, insights into key influencing factors, clearer criteria for technology selection, and a profound understanding of the potential challenges and merits of a broader incorporation of digital tools in decommissioning endeavors. Of paramount importance is the opportunity presented for superior workforce training and safety measures, exemplified by ALARAbased planning. Amidst the myriad facets of digital adoption, 3D modeling of nuclear facilities derived from laser-scanned point clouds stands out as a pivotal domain in the digitalization. The transformation of intricate point cloud data into a comprehensible 3D mesh remains the crux of this paper. The process of mesh generation, despite being simpler than its counterpart of converting to a 3D solid model, is crucial for multiple reasons. The resultant 3D mesh offers an enhanced visual representation compared to a sparse point cloud, paving the way for improved spatial perception. Furthermore, it serves as a rudimentary tool for approximating component volumes and the ensuing waste, thereby playing an instrumental role in waste manipulation strategies, notably in collision detection. This paper delves deep into the nuances of mesh generation, conducting an parametric study of mesh conversion algorithms, including down-sampling rates. Through this rigorous examination, we endeavor to shed light on optimal methodologies, hoping to catalyze advancements in the digitalization of nuclear decommissioning processes.

In the fluid-structure interaction analysis, the finite element formulation is performed for the wave equation for dynamic fluid pressure, and the dynamic pressure is defined as a degree of freedom at the fluid nodes. Therefore, to connect the fluid to the structure, it is necessary to connect the degree of freedom of fluid dynamic pressure and the degree of freedom of structure displacement through an interface element derived from the relationship between dynamic pressure and displacement. The previously proposed fluid-structure interface elements use conformal finite element meshes in which the fluid and structure match. However, it is challenging to construct conformal meshes when complex models, such as water purification plants and wastewater treatment facilities, are models. Therefore, to increase modeling convenience, a method is required to model the fluid and structure domains by independent finite element meshes and then connect them. In this study, two fluid-structure interface elements, one based on constraints and the other based on the integration of nonsmooth functions, are proposed in nonconformal finite element meshes for structures and fluids, and their accuracy is verified.

APro, developed in KAERI for the process-based total system performance assessment (TSPA) of deep geological disposal systems, performs finite element method (FEM)-based multiphysics analysis. In the FEM-based analysis, the mesh element quality influences the numerical solution accuracy, memory requirement, and computation time. Therefore, an appropriate mesh structure should be constructed before the mesh stability analysis to achieve an accurate and efficient process-based TSPA. A generic reference case of DECOVALEX-2023 Task F, which has been proposed for simulating stationary groundwater flow and time-dependent conservative transport of two tracers, was used in this study for mesh stability analysis. The relative differences in tracer concentration varying mesh structures were determined by comparing with the results for the finest mesh structure. For calculation efficiency, the memory requirements and computation time were compared. Based on the mesh stability analysis, an approach based on adaptive mesh refinement was developed to resolve the error in the early stage of the simulation time-period. It was observed that the relative difference in the tracer concentration significantly decreased with high calculation efficiency.

In this study, a comparative test operation was conducted through the alternate haul method to examine the selectivity of the four mesh sizes (60 mm, 90 mm, 110 mm, and 130 mm) of the trawl codend. The selectivity was analyzed using the SELECT model considering the fishing efficiency (split parameter) of each fishing gear in the comparative test fishing operation in the trawl and the maximum likelihood method for parameter estimation. A selectivity master curve was estimated for several mesh sizes using the extended-SELECT model. As a result of analyzing the selectivity for silver croaker based on the results of three times hauls for each experimental gear, it was found that the size of the fish caught increased as the size of the mesh size increased. When the selectivity for each mesh size analyzed by the SELECT model considering the split ratio was evaluated based on the size of the AIC value, the estimated split model was superior to the equal split model. Based on the master curve, the 50% selection length value was 2.893, which was estimated to be 136 mm based on the mesh size of 60 mm. In some selectivity models, there was a large deviance between observed and theoretical values due to the non-uniformity of the distribution of fished length classes. As a result, it is considered that appropriate sea trials and selectivity evaluation methods with high reliability should be applied to present trawl fishery resource management methods.

대부분의 모바일 AR 컨텐츠들은 모바일 디바이스의 기술적 한계로 인해 평면 탐지 후, 그 위에서만 구현되는 제한된 구조를 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제는 제한된 공간이 표현의 범위를 제한하기 때문에 모바일 AR의 확산 에 크게 저해가 될 수 있다. 한편 Unity의 AR Foundation이 제공하는 ‘Meshing’은 실제 오브젝트의 크기와 위 치에 알맞게 메시를 생성해주는데, 이를 활용한다면 모바일 AR 컨텐츠들은 평면에서 벗어나 더 넓은 현실 공 간에 구현될 수 있다. 하지만 ‘Meshing’은 모바일 기기의 센서가 닿지 못하는 부분에는 메시를 생성하지 않기 때문에 별도의 작업 없이 그대로 사용한다면 게임 오브젝트가 빠져나갈 수 있는 구멍이 생길 수 있다. 이 구 멍은 컨텐츠 구현에 있어서 치명적이기에 Hole-Filling 알고리즘을 사용하여 구멍을 메우고자 하는 연구가 있 었다. 하지만 기존 연구에서 사용하는 Hole-Finding 알고리즘은 특정 상황에서 외곽선과 구멍을 제대로 구별해 내지 못하는 문제가 있다. 이 문제는 일부 구멍은 메우지 못하고 외관선끼리 이어버려 컨텐츠에 치명적인 문 제를 야기한다. 본 논문에서는 Meshing이 제공하는 노말 벡터와 경계선들로 계산한 노말 벡터 간의 차이를 이 용해 구멍과 외곽선을 구분하는 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법을 적용한 결과, 이전 연구의 방법보다 좀 더 빠르 면서 구멍과 외곽선을 제대로 구별하는 모습을 확인하였다.

The structural analysis module is an essential part of any integrated structural system. Diverse integrated systems today require, from the analysis module, efficient real-time responses to real-time input such as earthquake signals, extreme weather-related forces, and man-made accidents. An integrated system may also be for the entire life span of a civil structure conceived during the initial conception, developed throughout various design stages, effectively used in construction, and utilized during usage and maintenance. All these integrated systems’ essential part is the structural analysis module, which must be automated and computationally efficient so that responses may be almost immediate. The finite element method is often used for structural analysis, and for automation, many effective finite element meshes must be automatically generated for a given analysis. A computationally efficient finite element mesh generation scheme based on the r-h method of mesh refinement using strain deviations from the values at the Gauss points as error estimates from the previous mesh is described. Shape factors are used to sort out overly distorted elements. A standard cantilever beam analyzed by four-node plane stress elements is used as an example to show the effectiveness of the automated algorithm for a time-domain dynamic analysis. Although recent developments in computer hardware and software have made many new applications in integrated structural systems possible, structural analysis still needs to be executed efficiently in real-time. The algorithm applies to diverse integrated systems, including nonlinear analyses and general dynamic problems in earthquake engineering.

In this study, the selection action on the mesh in the net pot for whelk (Buccinum opisthoplectum) is experimentally considered, and the selectivity was compared by the SELECT model and the Nashimoto’s method with the probability model according to the contact shape of the mesh and the whelk. The experiments of the mesh size selectivity was conducted for two mesh sizes: 70 mm (inner stretched size 65.4 mm) and 44 mm (inner stretched size 39.5 mm). Selectivity experiments were conducted three times in total for each mesh size used 264 whelks. In addition, Nashimoto’s method analyzed the retention probability using probability model for whether the mesh passed or not based on the carapace width of the whelk. As a result of the selectivity analysis, the 50% selection carapace width for the mesh size of 70 mm was similar to 43.62 mm in the SELECT model and 42.64 mm in the Nashimoto's method. However, the 44 mm mesh with relatively small mesh size showed differences of 40.01 mm and 26.80 mm, respectively. As for the mesh size selectivity of whelk, it was found that the smaller the mesh size, the lower the selectivity. In addition, in the selectivity study on the mesh size of whelk, an evaluation method that closely considers the contact shape between the mesh and the target species is required.

In this study, the analysis of the unsteady viscous flow field using the uRANS equation in a moving mesh was studied. The simulation domain is composed of an overset zone fixed to a propeller and rotating at a constant angular speed and a far zone which is located in the far distance and does not move. Each zone is composed of a polyhedral meshes for the accurate and robust gradient calculation in addition to the reduction of computation time. Simulation technique was applied to the aerodynamic analysis of the 5-inch propeller and compared with those of the MRF and the thrust test. The thrust predicted by the moving mesh showed good correlation with the MRF result within 0.5% difference, but the torque showed a tendency to under-prediction by about 10% compared to the MRF. In the future, we plan to further validate the numerical analysis technique using the moving mesh by applying it to the configurations in which precise test results exist.

I propose an algorithm to detect defects in the production of wire mesh using computer image processing. The process is explained as follows, First reading consecutive frames coming through the camera, then the preprocessing process is performed. Second calculate the absolute difference between the two images to distinguish the moving wire mesh from the unnecessary background image. Third based on the past moving data of the welded wire mesh, predict and track future movement. As a result of observing the samples of some defective welded wire mesh products, it was confirmed that the horizontal line of the defective wire mesh had a higher height value of the tracked wire netting. Therefore it is possible to judge whether there is a defect or not at the same time without any additional process to judge. Finally, shear strength test were performed on the welds determined to be normal products by the algorithm proposed in this paper, so that I could verify the reliability and validity of the proposed algorithm.

This study was conducted to evaluate the performance of the octopus pot according to mesh sizes. Entering behavior of Octopus minor and bait (Macrophthalmus japonicus) escape rate on the mesh sizes of the pots were investigated for six times in indoor tank. The sea trials for evaluating the performance of Octopus minor pot to different mesh sizes (22, 20 and 18 mm) were conducted for six times from 2017 to 2018 in the coastal sea of Deukyang Bay, the Republic of Korea. Behavior patterns of contact pot to leaved pot were more frequent than contact pot to bait search. When the octopus contacted to the pot, there was no clear search behavior to distinguish the mesh sizes. Total catch of 46% was accounted for 18 mm pots, followed by 34% at 20 mm and 20% at 22 mm (P < 0.05). Catch per unit effort was calculated as 30 g/pot at 22 mm, 44 g/pot at 20 mm and 59 g/pot at 18 mm. As a result of evaluating 50% selection of mantle length and weight on the mesh sizes, mantle length (mm) and weight (g) were 84.6 and 147.8 in 22 mm, followed by 20 and 18 mm.

This study is an experimental study to evaluate the vehicle-protection performance of the reinforced F section of a concrete median barrier. To reinforce the strength performance and durability of the F section, the design strength of concrete was increased and a wire mesh was added. The reinforced F section was tested in an actual collision to verify the protection performance of the SB4 class(Impact Severity: 160kJ) concrete barrier. In the truck-crash test for strengthperformance evaluation, no damage or no sufficient scattering occurred to cause damage to a third party. In addition, the truck smoothly moved through an escape box after the collision. THIV and PHD, which are criteria for evaluating the occupant-protection performance, were measured at 75% and 64% of the limit, respectively, and were confirmed to provide good occupant-protection performance. The vehicle rotations after the collision were 12%–19% of the allowed limits.

The mesh selectivity of a drum shaped pot for finely-striate buccinum (Buccinum striatissimum) was conducted a total of eight times with four different mesh sizes (22, 35, 50 and 60 mm) from May to September, 2019 in the eastern coastal waters of Korea. The size selectivity analysis was estimated by the SELECT method to express logistic selectivity curves. In the results, the catch of finely-striate buccinum was occupied about 90% in the total catch weight. The equation of the master curve of selectivity was estimated to s(R) = exp(-7.778R+9.983)/[1+exp(-7.778R+9.983)]. The relative shell height of 50% selection was 1.284 and the selection range (SR) was 0.282. The optimal mesh size for 50% selection on the minimum maturation size (75 mm, Shell height) was estimated more than 60 mm by the master selectivity curve.
