지하에 매설된 가스관의 경우 MFL(Magnetic Fluk Leakage, 자기누설탐상) PIG를 이용하여 금속관의 여러 가지 기계적인 손상을 감지하여 사고예방이나 유지관리의 정보로 활용하고 있다. 이러한 비파피검사는 당장 수리가 필요한 손상에서부터 장래에 위협이 될 수도 있는 지하 매설관 외부의 금속물체(Metal object)까지 찾아낼 수 있어야 한다. 이 논문은 지하 매설관 외부의 금속물체의 크기, 모양 및 이격거리 등에 따른 자기누설 신호를 유한요소법을 이용하여 simulation 하고, MFL PIG를 이용하여 지하 매설관에 대한 비파괴검사를 할 경우 나타나는 여러 가지 자기적 신호를 보정하여 metal object의 크기나 위치 등을 판별할 수 있도록 기본적인 자기누설 정보를 제공하기 위한 연구이다. NMFL PIG의 형상과 금속물체의 크기 종류 의 정확한 분석을 위하여 3차원 해석을 하였다.

In this study, we evaluated the structural integrity and weight of a rocket motor with a torispherical dome by size optimization. Size optimization was achieved by first-order and sub-problem methods, using the Ansys Parametric Design Language (APDL). For rapid design verification, a modified 2D axisymmetric finite-element model was used, and the bolt pre-tension load was expressed as function of the ratio of the cross-sectional area. The thickness of the dome and the cylindrical part of the rocket motor were selected as the design parameters. Our results showed that the weight and structural integrity of the rocket motor at the initial design stage could be determined more rapidly and accurately with the modified 2D axisymmetric finite-element model than with the 3D finite-element model; further, the weight of the rocket motor could be saved to maximum of 17.6% within safety limit.

In this study, an alternative bend design is proposed to overcome the aging problem in piping bends. In this design, the foam pad is not included. Finite element analysis was performed based on the total pipe diameter. From this analysis, the shape of the Shear Control Ring (SCR) was determined. Temperature, stress, and other data of the proposed reinforced pipe were acquired and analyzed after the test was performed. The value of the thermal stress for the reinforced steel pipe satisfied the required standard without the foam pad based on the manufacturing of the reinforced fitting and construction site of the test. The reinforcement provided a shear strength level for the foam pad that resulted in maximum shear stress less than stress based on the original foam pad applied at the pipe bend. Additionally, an increasing factor of safety effect for the reinforced fitting application was discovered.

Two-stage light gas gun, sorted with Ballistic Range System, is used to research spray characteristics of supersonic liquid jets. When high pressure tube was pressurized to the 135 bar, diaphragm films which composed with OHP film are ruptured. Expansion gases accelerate a projectile approximately 250 m/s at the exit of pump tube. And accelerated projectile collides with liquid storage part and liquid jets were injected into supersonic conditions. Supersonic liquid jets show the multiple jets and generate shockwave at the forward region of jets. Supersonic liquid jets of speed and shockwave angle have different value at each case. Supersonic liquid jets with minimum velocities are injected with M=1.53 at the geometry condition of L/d=23.8.

The behavior of buried pipes is directly influenced by the nonlinearity and complex characteristics of the surrounding soil. However, the simplified beam-spring model, which ignores the nonlinearity and complex behavior of soil, is commonly used in practice. In response, several studies have employed continuum analysis methods to account for the nonlinear and complex behavior of the soil. This paper presents various numerical continuum analysis techniques and verifies their comparison with full-scale tests. The study found that reaction force results close to the full-scale test could be obtained by applying contact surface characteristics that take into account the interaction between the ground and the buried pipe. In the case of sharing pipe and soil node method and ignoring the interaction between pipe and soil, excessive reaction force was derived, and the failure shapes were different. In addition, this study applied the dynamic explicit analysis method, ALE method, and CEL method. It was confirmed that the displacement-reaction relationship and failure shape are similar to those of the static analysis.

고온 및 고압의 가혹한 방사선 분위기에서 사용되는 핵연료 피복관은 중성자 조사 및 수소화합물의 생성 등으로 인하여 기계적 성질이 저하된다. 따라서 조사된 핵연료 피복관의 손상기준 확립과 안전성 해석을 위해서는 연성 및 강도 등 기계적 특성을 정확히 이해하여야 할 필요가 있다. 핵연료 피복관의 종 및 횡 방향 인장특성 평가를 위하여 개발된 기존의 다양한 시험법들을 비교하고, 핫셀시험에 적합한 인장시험법을 개발하였다. 피복관의 종방향 인장시편은 튜브시편 또는 게이지부 내에서 균일한 변형률 분포를 얻도록 설계된 도그본 튜브시편(그림 1)을 사용한다. 피복관의 횡방향 인장시험에 사용되는 링시편(그림 2)은 게이지부 내에서 균일한 단축 원환변형율 분포 또는 평면변형율 조건을 나타내도록 설계한다. 연소 또는 조사된 피복관으로부터 시편을 제작하기 위해서는 핫셀 내에서 작업 이 가능한 방전가공기(그림 3)를 사용한다. 피복관의 종방향 인장시험용그립(grip)은 핀-부하형이며, 횡방향 인장시험의 경우는 시험 동안 시편의 곡률이 일정하게 유지 되도록 그립의 형상 및 치수를 결정한다(그림 4). 피복관의 종 및 횡방향 강도와 변형 등 기계적 특성을 평가하기 위한 응력-변형율 곡선은 시험기의 복합 강성(K)을 고려하여 결정한다. 이상과 같이 검토된 인장시험법은 피복관의 안전성 해석(safety analysis)과 관련 규정(regulatory)에서 사용되는 피복관 손상기준(fuel damage criteria)의 개선에 필수적인 자료를 제공한다.

To propose a useful modelling method for an actual muffler, the noise attenuation effects of muffler was investigated according to the flow condition and the hole shape of tubes. In this work, the finite element method was used to calculate the transmission loss of muffler, The noise attenuation characteristics of four different types of muffler in the hole shape of tubes were compared mutually to find a more simple equivalent model. Analytical results showed that the overall value of transmission loss increases and the peaks of transmission loss curve shift to the low frequency with mean flow for the given muffler, Also the noise attenuation characteristics of the equivalent model having the split holes is almost the same as those of the actual muffler having many circular holes.

The flow and heat transfer characteristics for three-dimensional mixed convection flows in a radiator flat tube with U--shaped grooves are analyzed numerically. The flow and temperature fields are calculated by using the modified SIMPLE algorithm for irregular geometry. One tube specification among the various flat tube exchangers is recommended by considering the heat transfer and pressure drop. The effects of variation of coolant flow conditions and external air conditions on the flow and the thermal characteristics for the selected tube are investigated. the results show that inlet velocity of coolant flow is the very important factor in heat transfer and pressure drop, and top side is better position than the others as fin cleave to tube.

This study is performed to investigate heat transfer characteristics for thermal performance of fin-and-tube sensible heat exchangers under the low air flowrate according to fin geometry combination and coolant flowrate control. Fins and tubes of samples were separated between front row and rear row. Experiment results are plotted heat transfer rate of each row, heat transfer coefficient and sensible heat ratio against water flowrate control of each row. It is observed that thermal performance can be enhanced by fin geometry combination and water flowrate control of each row under the low air flowrate.

Numerical study has been carried out to investigate heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics for streamlined shape tubes. The flow and thermal fields are investigated with varying diameter ratio of the tube ranging from 0.4 to 2.5 and Reynolds number ranging from 10,000 to 30,000. The results show that heat transfer per unit fan power is maximum at $D_2/D_1=0.8$. Furthermore, the heat transfer per unit fan power of streamlined shape tubes was compared with circular tube. The heat transfer per unit fan power of streamlined shape tube was larger than that of circular tube.
