Burst pressure of right circular tube is predicted using analytic method, and asymptotic instability pressure of circular tube with roundness defect is found using FEM. Burst tests of nearly right circular tube specimens are carried out and predictions are compared with burst pressures and their accuracy is discussed. It is confirmed that FEM is useful for prediction of burst pressure.

To investigate the validity of the finite element analysis program to assess structural integrity of a spent nuclear fuel transport cask subjected to extreme impact loads, structural integrity of the cask for the case of an aircraft engine collision is evaluated using three FE analysis programs: Autodyn, Speed and ABAQUS explicit version. As a result of all analyses, it is confirmed that no penetration occurred in the cask wall. Even though the different programs are used, it is identified that there are insignificant differences in the FE analysis variables such as von Mises effective stress and equivalent plastic strain among the programs.

In this paper, fluid-structure of interaction behavior of a fluid-filled cylindrical polymer container impacted by a high speed spherical projectile was studied using ALE(Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian) method. The hydrodynamic ram phenomenon occurred by the impact projectile penetrating through the container was investigated by examining time histories of projectile velocity and fluid pressure and density. The analysis results were agreed reasonably well compared to those by experiments.

While the demand for the gas system fire extinguishers increases every year, there are insufficient safety measures for assessing the extinguishing performance, such as system safety and reliability in the preparation of increasing demand, which has emerged as a social problem. One of the most critical causes of accidents occurring with the gas extinguishing system is pressure leakage from the extinguishing agent storage container. This is considered to be one of the critical factors on which the success of fire suppression depends. In this study, its safety measure was studied, Because it was deemed urgently necessary. The newly developed pressure leakage monitoring system is a system monitoring storage condition, pressure, leakage and discharge of the storage container related to agent concentration, which is one of the critical factors for fire suppression. This was developed to be applicable to the $CO_2$ and HFC-23 systems. Therefore, for structural safety analysis, the safety performance was verified by the fluid structure coupling analysis of the safety problems that may occur when the pressure leakage monitoring system is applied to the gas fire extinguisher. For analysis programs, the FloEFD program from Mentor Graphics was used for computational fluid dynamics analysis and ABAQUS from Dassault Systems was used for structural analysis. From the result of numerical analysis, the structure of $CO_2$ did not develop plastic deformation and its safety was verified. However, plastic deformation and deviation issue occurred with the HFC-23 monitoring system and therefore verified the structural safety of pressure leakage monitoring system by data obtained from redesigning and adjusting the condition of numerical interpretation three times.

In this paper, theory of fracture mechanics for the pressurized thermal shock is investigated and numerical procedure for the evaluation of the pressure vessel under pressurized thermal shock is developed. For the given material properties, transient history such as temperature and pressure, and postulated flaw, the stress distribution is obtained to calculate stress intensities for a wide range of assumed crack sizes. The stress intensities are compared with the material fracture toughness values corresponding to the chemical compositions and the distribution of the nil ductility transition temperature, to determine the crack growth during the transient. Plant-specific calculations have been performed for several transients and the evaluation results are discussed.

This paper presents the strength safety and the weight reduction analysis of nine gas valve models for a LPG cylinder using a finite element analysis program, MARC and Taguchi's experimental method. The maximum Von Mises stress of a gas valve body represents a safety of a brass valve structure for the given gas pressure of $91kg/cm^2$, which considered a safety factor of a LPG gas cylinder. The weight reduction analysis is very important for reducing a gas flow friction loss and a manufacturing cost as a design parameter. The calculated results present an design model 9 as an optimized design data with 10mm radius of a lower part gas flow pipe A, 6mm radius of an upper part gas flow pipe B and a connecting length 2 mm of tapered pipe D between lower and upper pipes.

It is not easy to fully fuel high pressure(70 MPa) hydrogen in a hydrogen vehicle tank quickly. This is because the temperature inside the tank rises rapidly due to heat caused by the Joule-Thomson effect, etc. So fueling protocols such as SAE J2601 in the U.S. and JPEC-S 0003 in Japan appeared. However, there is a problem with these protocols that a number assumption are introduced and the content is too complex and limited in scope. This study was conducted to develop a new protocol based on complete real-time communication. In this study, the hydrogen fueling simulation program were used to examine how the pressure ramp rate affects the temperature and pressure rise in the tank and the fueling flow rate. The results confirmed that the first parameter to be considered in determining the pressure ramp rate is the temperature of the tank.

본 연구에서 액체금속로의 노심용융(core meltdown)으로 인한 초 즉발 임계(super-prompt critical)의 출력 폭주 사고시, 노심의 반응도 및 열수력 특성 변화와 에너지 방출량등을 계산하기 위하여, Bethe-Tait 방버론을 수정, 보완한 분석 모델이 개발되었다. 주요 보완 내용으로서는, 금속 연료 노심의 단상 액체 영역에서의 선형의(Linear) threshold 형태의 상태 방정식뿐만 아니라 포화 증기(saturated fuel vapor) 영역에서의 상태 방정식이 개발되었고, 이에 따른 노심 붕괴 반응도(disassembly reactivity)의 분석 모델이 개발되었다. 또한 도플러 반응도 효과를 고려하기 위한 분석모델도 아울러 개발되었다. 상기 보완 모델을 실행할 수 있는 수치 해석 프로그램이 개발되었고, 이를 활용하여 KALIMER에서 HCDA가 발생하였을 경우 노심에서의 에너지 방출량 계산이 수행되었다. 분석결과 도플러 효과와 포화 증기 영역에서의 압력 증가 및 노심팽창의 중요성이 확인되었다. 도플러 효과가 고려되지 않을 경우 HCDA는 분석된 모든 반응도 삽입률에 대하여 폭발적인 에너지 방출과 함께 사고가 종결되는 것으로 평가되었다. 그러나 도플러 상수가 최적 평가치인 -0.002인 경우 50$/s이하의 반응도 삽입률에서는 노심은 비등점(0.8KJ/g)에 도달치 않았으며, 설계 기준 사고인 100$/s의 경우에도 노심은 포화 증기 영역에 머물고 압력이 급격히 증가하는 단상(single phase)액체 영역의 threshold 값에 미치지 않기 때문에 사고는 핵연료 증기(vapor)의 점진적인 분산과 함께 종결되는 것으로 분석되며, 총 에너지 발생량은 약 1,800MJ로서 기계적 손상 에너지로 전환되는 분율을 고려할 때 KALIMER 원자로 용기의 구조 설계 기준치에 비해 상당한 여유도를 갖는 것으로 평가되었다.
