The shaft with the circular cross section have symmetric structural combination parts to keep the rotating balance. Hence the crack usually emanate from symmetric combination parts due to the stress concentration of these parts. In this study to estimate the fatigue behavior of symmetric cracks, the fatigue test was performed by using rotary bending tester and the specimen with symmetric defects in circular cross section. From the facts the characteristics of crack initiation and propagation on the symmetric surface cracks in circular cross section was examined. Also we observed the internal crack using oxidation coloring and investigated the fatigue behavior using the relationship between surface crack and internal crack. As a result of fatigue lift of symmetric cracks was reduced to 35% compared to single crack’s. We examined the characteristics of fatigue behavior in element with symmetric cracks using internal crack propagation rate and maximum stress intensity factor range obtained from approximation method.

This paper presents shear characteristics of a ground improved by sand piles. The sand piles have different length and diameter depending on the depth of a clayey layer. A series of CU triaxial compression tests are carried out on specimens covered with/without soft material which is similar to geotextile. The results show that the shear strength and stress ration increase as the length and the diameter of the sand pile increase. In addition, covering the specimen with the soft material appears to affect those characteristics as well. The increase of cohesion seems to be more remarkable compared to internal frictional angle.

In this paper, a system of falling weight impact tester was built up to evaluate the impact energy absorbing characteristics and impact strength of CFRP laminate plates in consideration of stress wave propagation theory. Delamination area of impacted specimens for the different ply orientation was measured with ultrasonic C-scanner to find correlation between impact energy and delamination area. Absorbed energy of quasi-isotropic specimen having four interfaces was higher than that of orthotropic laminates with two interfaces. The more interfaces, the more absorbed energy. Hybrid specimen containing GFRP layer was higher than that of normal specimens.

The components with the circular cross section have the symmetric combination parts for rotating balance and the crack emanates from the symmetric combination parts. The symmetric cracks from symmetric combination parts make a decrease in the component fatigue life more than single crack. In this study, to estimate the behavior of symmetric cracks, the fatigue test was performed using rotary bending tester on the specimen with a symmetric defects in circular cross section. The material used in this study is Ni-Cr-Mo steel alloy. Under the same stress, the result from the rotary bending fatigue test turned out that the symmetric cracks made a decrease in the fatigue life by 35% more than single crack and the relation between log a and cycle ratio $N/N_f$ obtained linearly.

Due to the application of Integrated Head Assembly (IHA) in KSNP+ reactor design, an investigation of reactor internals integrity is carried out to assure that the adoption of IHA does not affect the safety of reactor operation. One of the postulated accident events is the R.V. closure head fall from 5.5m high directly above the reactor vessel that may occur during the refueling operation. The analysis model consists of lumped mass elements of the entire reactor vessel and internals. Because of extreme load, separate elastic-plastic analyses are done for the members that undergo plastic deformation. The analysis verified that the stresses of the reactor internals and the fuel assemblies are within the bound of allowable stress limits and the integrity of the fuel assemblies is maintained.

Hydrodynamic ram of aircraft fuel tanks is one of main ballistic battle damages of an aircraft and has great importance to airframe survivability design. Basic concept, physics and research history of hydrodynamic ram are investigated. The penetration and internal detonation of a simple fuel tank and ICW(Intermediate Complexity Wing) are analyzed by computational method. Structural rupture and fluid burst are analytically realized using general coupling and coupling surface interaction. The results such as fluid pressure, tank stress and displacement are shown and future research chances are suggested based on the study.

Impact-echo is a method for non-destructive testing of concrete structure. This method is based on the use of impact-generated stress wave which is propagated and reflected from internal flaws within concrete structure and external surface. In this study, we performed non-destructive testing using impact-echo methods for safety diagnosis of civil engineering and building structures. There are testing cases for the three models having one-dimensional form ; The first case is the measurement of thickness change of the model, the second is the detection of cavity in the model, and the third is the predictions of the lining thickness and the position of the cavity under tunnel lining condition.

A shape of loop-pipe in a compressor affects the vibration of compressor. In this paper, optimal design of shape of loop-pipe to decrease the stress was carried out. Body and shell were assumed to be rigid, while loop-pipe is considered to be flexible. The finite element model was derived and programmed. Genetic algorithm was used for optimization. Locations of 18 point in loop-pipe were considered as shape variables, while the shapes of loop-pipe were interpolated as polynomials or ellipses. Maximum stress of loop-pipe was used as a fitness function for optimization. The spatial constraints and acceleration response of shell were also considered in optimization. The maximum stress and acceleration could be reduced by 79 % and 49 % respectively.

The arterial stenosis related to the intimal thickening of the arterial wall is the main cause of many diseases in human cardiovascular system. Hemodynamic behavior of the blood flow is influenced by the presence of the arterial stenosis. In this study, effects of the pulsatile flow, caused by the periodic motion of the heart, on the blood flow and its interaction with the arterial stenosis are analyzed by the FEM-based computational fluid dynamics. As a result, it was found that the characteristics of the pulsatile flow in the artery with stenosis are quite different from those of the steady flow. And, the pulsatile flow condition affects the wall shear stress, which is one of the most important physiological parameters in the hemodynamics.

This paper is about the analysis and design of avionics equipment's housing and PCB(Printed Circuit Board) such as air data computer. Avionics equipment's structural design as well as electrical properties is very critical and should be proved from design phase by analysis method. First, analyze the static load and vibration requirement for the installed equipment, and then proved it satisfy with its requirement using the computational structural analysis. Commercial tools were used for computation and the rib design of housing was verified and the placement of electrical component was proposed using the PCB's local displacement information.
