Abstract

Since the Fukushima nuclear accident, several researchers are extensively studying the effect of torsion on the piping systems In nuclear power plants. Piping installations in power plants with a circumferential crack can be operated under combined loading conditions such as bending and torsion. ASME Code provides flaw evaluations for fully plastic fractures using limit load criteria for the structural integrity of the cracked pipes. According to the recent version of Code, combined loadings are provided only for the membrane and bending. Even though actual operating conditions have torsion loading, the methodology for evaluating torsion load is not established. This paper provides the results of limit load analyses by using finite element models for circumferentially cracked pipes under pure bending, pure torsion, and combined bending and torsion with tension. Theoretical limit load solutions based on net-section fully plastic criteria are suggested and verified with the results of finite element analyses.

후쿠시마 원전 사고 이후로 원자력 발전 플랜트의 배관 시스템에 가해지는 비틀림 하중의 영향에 대한 연구가 여러 연구자들에 의해서 수행되었다. 발전 플랜트의 원주방향 균열을 포함한 배관은 정상운전 조건이나 갑자기 발생한 사고에 의해서 굽힘과 비틀림과 같은 하중을 받을 수 있다. ASME 코드에서는 균열 배관의 구조건전성 확보를 위해서 한계하중 기법을 사용해서 완전소성 파단에 대한 결함평가를 제공한다. 최근 개정된 코드에 따르면, 복합하중은 막응력과 굽힘 응력만을 포함하고 있다. 실제로 운전 환경에서 비틀림 하중이 가해질 수 있음에도 불구하고, 비틀림 하중을 평가하는 방법론에 대해서는 언급하지 않았다. 본 논문에서는 한계하중 분석을 기반으로 원주방향 균열 존재하는 배관에 단순 굽힘과 단순 비틀림, 인장을 포함한 굽힘 비틀림 복합하중이 가해질 경우에 대한 유한요소해석 결과를 포함하고 있다. 전단면 완전항복 기준을 만족하는 한계하중 이론해를 제안하고 유한요소해석을 통해서 이를 검증하였다.
