Proper repair methods of damaged city gas pipeline is important factor to safely transmit gas and to reduce economical loss caused by failure of gas pipelines. Repair methods such as surfacing, type-A and type-B welding and composite sleeve method have been used to repair damaged city gas pipelines. In this paper, among repair methods, composite sleeve repair methods were conducted since they are rather simple processes and their repair quality is not sensitive to workers' ability compared with other repair methods. We discussed composite repair processes especially using carbon fiber prepregs and the experimental results.

In boiler high-temperature pipelines such as main steam pipe, header and steam drum in fossil power plants, conventional measurement techniques(replica method, electric resistance method, and hardness test method) for measuring creep damage have such disadvantages as complex preparation and measurement procedures, too many control parameters. And also, these techniques have low practicality and applied only to component surfaces with good accessibility. It needs to apply a reliable and quantitative ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation method that can be replaced for these equipment. In this study, both artificial creep degradation test using life prediction formula and frequency analysis by ultrasonic tests for crept specimens were carried out for the purpose of nondestructive evaluation for creep damage. As a result of ultrasonic tests for crept specimens, we conformed that the high frequency side spectra decrease and central frequency components shift to low frequency band, and also their bandwidth decreases as increasing creep damage in backwall echos.

To protect the underground pipeline from the mechanical damage and to enhance the cathodic protection effect, the river sand has been backfilled traditionally around the buried pipeline. However, river sand became depleted and expensive. One has to seek for the economic alternative materials. Crashed stone is a good candidate for the backfill material. In this study, how much the particle size and shape of the crashed stone can effect on the gas pipeline coating was examined. A series of laboratory and field test was performed. In the Lab, the increasing loads were applied to the coated pipeline surrounded by the crashed stone, where no significant damage was observed.

The present work reports the mismatch limit loads for a V-groove welded pipe for a circumferential crack using finite element (FE) analyses. To integrate the effect of groove angles on mismatch limit loads, one geometry-related slenderness parameter was modified by relevant geometric parameters including the groove angle, crack depth, and root opening based on plastic deformation patterns in the theory of plasticity. Circumferential through-wall cracks are located at the centre of the weldments with two different groove angles ($45^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$). With regard to the loading conditions, axial (longitudinal) tension and bending are applied for all cases. For the parent and weld metal, elastic-perfectly plastic materials are considered to simulate and analyze under- and over-matching conditions in plasticity. The overall results from the proposed solutions are found to be similar to the FE results.

The revised U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission(NRC), Regulatory Guide(RG) 1.20, rev.3 requires the evaluation of the potential adverse effects from pressure fluctuations and vibrations on piping and components for the reactor coolant, steam, feedwater, and condensate systems. Detailed vibration analyses for the systems attached to the steam generator are very difficult, because these piping systems are very complicated. This paper suggests a screening method for the flow-induced vibration of acoustic resonances and pump-induced vibration of the piping systems attached to the steam generator in order to conduct the APR1400 comprehensive vibration assessment program. This paper seeks to address the areas such as potential vibration sources, and methods to prevent the occurrence of acoustic resonances and pump-induced vibration of piping systems attached to the steam generator, for conducting the APR1400 comprehensive vibration assessment program. The screening method in this paper will be used to estimate the flow-induced vibration of the piping systems attached to the steam generator for the APR1400.

Liquid Rocket Engine is generally composed of extremely low and high temperature field. So that the component works properly including the electric component, the heat insulator should be applied appropriately. There are three steps. First, the heat source components should be defined and temperature field analyzed. Second, the heat transfer of pipes between the heat sources should be analyzed. Third, the components and pipes before and after applying the heat insulator should be analyzed. Finally, the optimized heat insulator depth can be calculated. In this paper, the procedure of this steps is established and investigated.

최근들어 심화되고있는 자재난과 인력수급난등은 작업을 원활치 못하게 하는 요인으로 작용하여 공기를 지연 시키고 있어 건설업계가 호황속에 불황을 맞고 있는 실정이다. 이에 따라 건설업계 스스로 자구책을 강구해야 한다는 여론이 높아지고 있어 신자재 개발 및 신공법 개발을 더욱더 서두르고 있다. 몇몇 건설업체들은 이미 자동화 공정 미 건식공법 등을 도입 실용 단계에 들어갔으며 시험단계 중인 업체들도 상당수를 차지해 조만간 걸설업계에도 신공화법의 바람이 불 것으로 관련인들은 내다보고 있다. (주)한양 기계부는 그동안 화장실 벽체 배관의 공장 조립 시공화 방안을 연구 검토한 결과 그 타당성이 인정되어 올해 초부터 이 방안을 본격적으로 시공에 착수했다. 이에 본지는 신공법 개발의 한 분야로 이 방안을 소개 한다.

격납 용기 내에 비응축성 가스(공기)가 존재하는 경우에 증기의 응축 열전달 계수를 평가하는 방 법을 연구하였다. 유일한 대규모 격납 용기 실험인 CVTR자료를 이용하여 응축 열전달 계수를 계산하여, 현재 원자력 발전소의 냉각재 상실 사고(LOCA) 및 주 증기 배관 파열사고(MSLB)시에 격납 용기의 안전 해석에서 공식적으로 사용되고 있는 Tagami와 Uchida열전달 계수 관계식과 비교해 본 결과 좋은 일치를 보여 주었다.

대구경유압식스너버의 잠재적 기능상실은 미국원자력규제위원회(USNRC)에서 인정한 주요안 전성 문제중의 하나이다. 본 보고서는 한국표준형원전의 증기발생기와 원자로냉각재펌프에 설치되어있는 대구경유압식스너버 중 단일 스너버의 기능상실에 대하여 지진과 가상분기관파단의 시간이력해석을 수행하여 구조적영향을 보였다. 지진 입력은 SRP 3.7.1 에 따른 가상적 시간이력이며, 분기관파단 입력은 파단전누설기법(Leak Before Break) 적용에 의하여 배제되지 못한 분기관파 단인 증기발생기 주증기배관과 증기발생기 주급수배관의 가상파단을 이용하였다.

산업의 발전과 함께 해양환경 중에서 사용되는 항만시설과 해양구조물 등을 비롯하여 철강재로 제작되는 각종 구조물, 공업용수배관, 열교환기, 선박 등의 기계장치나 각종설비는 그 사용 환경이 다양해지고 오염되면서 부식손상이 발생되어 지고있다. 더욱이 강전해질의 해양환경 중에서 기계적인 충격 침식과 더불어 전기화학적인 부식이 중첩하여 발생하는 경우에는 침식과 부식 이 상호간에 가속하는 상승효과 때문에 각종 기계장치 및 설비의 수명에 대한 안정성 확보가 어렵다. (중략)
