To evaluate the structural integrity of the nuclear seismic category IIA bellows seal 2" globe valve under the seismic service conditions the seismic analysis was performed in accordance with ASME, section III, ND-3500, 1989 edition. The finite element computer program, ANSYS, Version 10.0, is used to perform both a mode frequency analysis and an equivalent static seismic analysis of the valve assembly. The mode frequency analysis results show the fundamental natural frequency is greater than 33 Hz and does not exist in seismic range, thus justifying the use of the static analysis. The stresses resulted from various loadings and their combinations are within the allowable limits specified in the above mentioned ASME code. The results of the seismic evaluation fully satisfied the structural acceptance criteria of the ASME code. Accordingly the structural integrity on the globe valve was proved.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the structural integrity of the Class 1500 Bellows Seal 3 inch globe valve classified as seismic category IIA. The finite element analysis program, ANSYS, Version 10.0, is used to perform both a modal frequency analysis and an equivalent static stress analysis of the subject valve modeling. The modal frequency analysis results show the fundamental natural frequency is greater than 33 Hz. Therefore the equivalent static stress analysis is performed using the seismic acceleration values. The stresses resulted from various loadings and their combinations are evaluated based on the structural acceptance criteria of the ASME Code. The stresses in the glove valve due to the seismic loadings are within the allowable limits. It is concluded that the globe valve structure is maintaining the structural integrity fur the seismic loading conditions.

본 기술개발은 기존 태양추적기의 구조를 크게 변화시킬 수 있는 무선망 활용 태양추적기 개발에 관한 내용이다. 기존의 태양추적기는 태양광어레이에 스탠드얼론 시스템으로 부착되어 태양추적 및 관련 제어기능을 수행한다. 그러나 본 무선망활용 태양추적기는 PC와 태양광어레이가 지그비 무선망으로 연결되는 구조이다. 무선망을 활용함으로서 기존 태양추적기 대비 제어모듈의 역할이 매우 단순화되어 장치의 강건함, 내구성 및 경제성이 증가되는 효과가 있다. 무선망을 활용함으로서 태양광에레이 측은 무선데이터 송수신 기능과 모터제어 부분만 구현되어도 되며 나머지 기능들은 PC에서 처리해서 무선으로 태양광에레이 모듈에게 전달된다. 또한 고가의 센서 등도 PC에만 구현되고 필요한 데이터는 PC에서 처리하고 계산해서 무선으로 태양광어레이에게 전달하는 구조이다. 그리고 태양추적을 위한 정밀한 자동제어 알고리즘도 PC에서는 충분히 구현할 수 있으며 이를 수행한 후 필요 데이터를 태양광어레이 모듈에게 무선으로 전달한다. 본 기술개발 내용에 대한 시제품이 완성단계에 있으며 필드테스트 수행을 준비하고 있다.

In this study, a sliding mode (SM) controller for dynamic positioning (DP) was specifically designed for a turret connection operation of a ship or an offshore structure in which an arbitrary point on the structure could be controlled as the motion center instead of the center of mass. The SM controller allows control of the arbitrary point and provides capability to manage uncertainties in the dynamics of ships and offshore structures, external forces caused by unknown changing marine environments, and transient performance of DP systems. The Jacobian matrix included in kinematic equations of the controlled object was modified to design the SM controller to control based on an arbitrary point of ships or offshore structures. To ensure robustness of the controller, the Lyapunov stability theory was applied in the design of the SM controller. In general, for robustness in DP control, gain scheduling based on a proportional-derivative (PD) control algorithm is employed. However, finding appropriate gains for gain scheduling complicates the application of DP systems. Therefore, in this study, the SM control algorithm was considered to mitigate the complexity of the DP controller for ships and offshore structures. To validate the proposed SM control algorithm, time-domain simulations were conducted and utilized to evaluate the performance of the control algorithm. The effectiveness of the proposed SM controller was assessed by comparing simulation results with results of a conventional PD control algorithm applied in DP control.

The most critical rotating parts of a gas turbine engine are turbine blades and disc, given that they must operate under severe conditions such as high turbine inlet temperature, high speeds, and high compression ratios. Owing to theses operating conditions and high rotational speed energy, some failures caused by turbine disks and blades are categorized into catastrophic and critical, respectively. To maximize the margin of structural integrity, we aim to optimize the vulnerable area of disc-blade interface region. Then, to check the robustness of the obtained optimized solution, we evaluated structural reliability under uncertainties such as dimensional tolerance and fatigue life variant. The results highlighted the necessity for and limitations of optimization which is one of deterministic methods, and pointed out the requirement for introducing reliability-based design optimization which is one of stochastic methods. Thermal-structural coupled-filed analysis and contact analysis are performed for them.

The optimization techniques have been applied to versatile engineering problems for reducing manufacturing cost and for automatic design. The deterministic approaches or op5imization neglect the effects on uncertainties of design variables. The uncertainties include variation or perturbation such as tolerance band. The optimum may be useless when the constraints considering worst cases of design variables can not be satisfied, which results from constraint variation. The variation of design variables can also give rise to drastic change of performances. The two issues are related to constraint feasibility and insensitive performance. Robust design suggested in the present study is developed to gain an optimum insensitive to variation on design variables within feasible region. The multiobjective function is composed to the mean and the standard deviation of original objective function, while the constraints are supplemented by adding penalty term to original constraints. This method has a advantage that the second derivatives of the constraints are not required. A mathematical problem and several standard problems for structural optimization are solved to check out the usefulness of the suggested method.

With the advance of network and software infrastructure, Grid-computing technology on a cluster of heterogeneous computing resources becomes pervasive. Grid computing is required a coordinated use of an assembly of distributed computers, which are linked by WAN. As the number of grid system components increases, the probability of failure in the grid computing is higher than that in a traditional parallel computing. To provide the robustness of grid applications, fault detection is critical and is essential elements in design and implementation. In this paper, a OGSA based process fault-detection services presented to provide high reliability under low network traffic environment.
