Based on three-dimensional (3-D) FE limit analyses, this paper provides plastic limit, collapse and instability load solutions for pipe bends under combined pressure and in-plane bending. The plastic limit loads are determined from FE limit analyses based on elastic-perfectly plastic materials using the small geometry change option, and the FE limit analyses using the large geometry change option provide plastic collapse loads (using the twice-elastic-slope method) and instability loads. For the bending mode, both closing bending and opening bending are considered, and a wide range of parameters related to the bend geometry is considered. Based on the FE results, closed-form approximations of plastic limit and collapse load solutions for pipe bends under combined pressure and bending are proposed.

본 연구에서는 제방의 세굴이나 붕괴를 방지하기 위해 바이오폴리머(Biopolymer) 기반 신소재를 활용한 흙 제방의 보강공법을 제시하였다. 바이오폴리머 기반 제방의 보강공법은 흙과 바이오폴리머를 소량만 섞어도 흙의 강도 증진시킴과 동시에 빗물에 대한 내침식성과 식생의 생장을 촉진하는 생태성도 뛰어나기 때문에 제방 사면을 보호할 수 있는 친환경적이고 효율적인 공법이다. 이에 안동하천연구센터는 실증실험을 통한 신소재 제방 보강공법의 안정성 검증을 목표로 2 건의 월류붕괴 실험을 수행하였다. 첫 번째는 흙 제방 조건(Case 1)이며, 두 번째는 바이오폴리머 혼합 토양을 사면에 도포한 후 식생이 활착된 조건(Case 2)이다. 제방 붕괴에 따른 수로 내 수위변화를 측정하기 위해 압력식 수위계를 설치하였으며, 영상분석을 위한 다수의 카메라 및 드론을 활용하여 실험의 전 과정을 실시간 촬영하였다. 또한, 제내지 측 사면을 대상으로 월류에 따른 붕괴 지연효과를 정량적으로 제시하기 위해 이미지 픽셀 변화 측정 기법을 통한 시간에 따른 표면 손실률을 산정하였다. 흙 제방과 신소재 처리 제방의 시간에 따른 표면손실률을 비교한 결과, Case 2의 사면손실률이 Case 1에 비해 약 1.5~2.3 배 지연되는 것을 확인하였다. 하지만 단일 조건만으로 실험군과 비교군의 붕괴지연 결과가 제방 성능을 평가함에 있어서 일반화될 수 없으므로 이러한 정량적 평가는 다소 한계가 있다. 향후 이러한 부족한 부분을 해결하기 위한 노력과 다양한 조건의 추가실험을 통한 계측 데이터 및 붕괴지연시간의 평균값을 도출하여 신소재 제방의 안정성을 평가하기 위한 타당한 결과를 도출할 예정이다.

수격현상(Waterhammer)으로 인한 과도압력하중은 월성원자력발전소 비상노심냉각계통 (Emergency Core Cooling System : ECCS) 설계의 주요 고려사항이다. 비상노심냉각계통은 특수안전계통으로서 냉각재상실사고(Loss of Coolant Accident : LOCA)후 일차열수송계통을 다시 채워주고 핵연료 손상을 막기위해 노심으로부터 잔열 및 붕괴열을 제거한다. 일차열수송계통으로의 비상냉각수 주입은 고압주입, 중압주입, 저압주입 3 단계로 주입된다. 과도압력이 발생될 것으로 예상되는 고압주입과 중압주입에 대한 6가지 사례들이 ECCS의 배관과 지지대 설계를 위해 고려되었다. 모든 사례에 대한 비상노심냉각계통의 과도압력 현상은 PTRAN 코드에 의해 해석 되었고 해석된 최고과도압력은 설계압력보다 작음을 알게 되었다. 모든 사례의 최고압력과 최고차압은 비상노심냉각계통 배관 및 지지대 설계를 위한 응력해석 자료로서 사용될 것이다.

국내에서 상업운전중인 월성 원자로는 캐나다에서 개발한 CANDU형 원자로로 핵연료를 지지하는 핵연료 압력관이 사용되며, 핵연료 압력관은 원자로의 1차기기로 건전성확보가 매우 중요하다. 가동중 검사시 압력관에서 결함이 검출되면, 지속적인 사용을 위해서 결함의 건전성을 확보하여야하나, 그 평가절차가 매우 복잡하다. 본 연구에서는 핵연료 압력관 평가를 보다 신속하고 효율적으로 수행하기 위한 건전성 평가시스템을 개발하였다. 개발된 평가시스템은 예리한 결함 및 둔한 함에 대한 평가를 수행할 수 있으며, 피로균열평가, 지체수소균열평가, 불안정파괴평가, 파단전누설평가, 소성붕괴평가모듈을 수록하고 있다. 또한 개발된 시스템을 검증하기 위하여 캐나다 ECL에서 제시한 평가결과와 비교함으로서 본 시스템의 효용성을 검증하였다.

Risk management is essential for preventing accidents arising from uncertainties in TBM tunnel projects, especially concerning managing the risk of TBM tunnel collapse, which can cause extensive damage from the tunnel face to the ground surface. In addition, prioritizing risks is necessary to allocate resources efficiently within time and cost constraints. Therefore, this study aimed to establish a TBM risk database through case studies of TBM accidents and determine a risk priority for TBM tunnel collapse using the Bayes theorem. The database consisted of 87 cases, dealing with three accidents and five geological sources. Applying the Bayes theorem to the database, it was found that fault zones and weak ground significantly increased the probability of tunnel collapse, while the other sources showed low correlations with collapse. Therefore, the risk priority for TBM tunnel collapse, considering geological sources, is as follows: 1) Fault zone, 2) Weak ground, 3) Mixed ground, 4) High in-situ stress, and 5) Expansive ground. In practice, the derived risk priority can serve as a valuable reference for risk management, enhancing the safety and efficiency of TBM construction. It provides guidance for developing appropriate countermeasure plans and allocating resources effectively to mitigate the risk of TBM tunnel collapse.

An artificial rainfall system is used widely as a research tool for generating model experiment data. Artificial rainfall devices have been used in many studies, but studies of the rainfall distribution are not considered as important issues. To simulate various rainfall characteristics, it should be possible to simulate from low to high intensity, and the homogeneity of the rainfall distribution should be ensured. In this study, the maximum rainfall intensity was set to 130mm/hr and controlled by 10mm/hr. In addition, the aim was to secure a uniform coefficient value of 80% or more. To this end, rainfall tests were performed according to the nozzle type, diameter, position, and pump pressure. The rainfall test showed that the circular nozzle was suitable, and the nozzle size was 1.9mm and 1.4mm. The optimal pump pressure was found to be 3~6kg/㎠. The rainfall intensity tended to increase linearly with increasing pump pressure. Based on the rainfall test results, a rainfall control manual was produced with variables, such as pump pressure, nozzle type, and number of nozzles. As a result of rainfall verification, rainfall intensity showed a 3.1% error with a uniformity coefficient of 86%.

In this paper, to investigate the cavitation erosion phenomenon on the ship propeller, the correlation between the propeller noise and the cavitation intensity was analyzed. Cavitation erosion is closely related to cavitation collapsing intensity, which can be defined as the frequency and intensity of cavitation collapse. The pressure wave generated by cavitation collapse appears as a continuous acoustic pulse and this result is analyzed with the cavitation behavior to determine the relationship of the propeller noise to cavitation collapse intensity. This technique is applied to the propeller erosion test using the inclined shaft propeller model.

The objective of this study is to conduct a thermal-hydraulic analysis on the spent fuel pool and to evaluate a parametric effect for the thermal-hydraulic analysis of spent fuel pool. The selected parameters are the Reynolds Number and the gap flow through the oater gap between fuel cell and fuel bundle. The simplified flow network for a path of fuel cells is used to analyze the natural circulation phenomenon. In the flow network analysis, the pressure drop for each assembly from the entrance of the fuel rack to the exit of the fuel assembly is balanced by the driving head due to the density difference between the pool fluid and the average fluid in each spent fuel assembly. The governing equations ore developed using this relation. But, since the parameters(flow rate, pressure loss coefficient, decay heat, density)are coupled each other, iteration method is used to obtain the solution. For the analysis of the YGN 3&4 spent fuel rack, 12 channels are considered and the inputs such as decay heat and pressure loss coefficient are determined conservatively. The results show the thermal-hydraulic characteristics(void fraction, density, boiling height)of the YGN 3&4 spent fuel rack. There occurs small amount of boiling in the cells. Fuel cladding temperature is lower than 343.3$^{\circ}C$. The evaluation of parametric effect indicates that flow resistances by geometric effect are very sensitive to Reynolds number in the transition region and the gap flow is negligible because of the larger flow resistance in the gap flow path than in the fuel bundle.
