카세트식 이동식부탄연소기의 사고는 과열에 의한 화재뿐만 아니라 접합용기의 파열에 따른 피해가 더 큰 위험성을 내포하고 있다. 접합용기의 파열원인은 화재에 의한 파열과 접합용기 장착 불량에 의한 가스누출로 화염에 의한 파열, 그리고 과대 조리기구를 사용하여 조리기구 및 화염에서 발생되는 열이 접합용기에 전달되어 온도상승에 따른 파열로 구분된다. 현재 카세트식 이동식부탄연소기의 조리기구 크기에 따라 과열에 따른 정확한 검증이 부족하며, 사용자에게 사용장소와 조리기구외 크기만 권고하고 있어 이에 대한 자료가 필요하다. (중략)

국내에서는 시도되지 않았던 조립식 맨드렐 및 prepreg 제작 방식을 적용하여 filament winding machine으로 압력 용기(STEB)를 제작, 음향 방출 측정 장비 및 strain gage 등을 부착한 수압 시험으로 압력용기의 구조적 건전성 예측 및 파열 압력을 측정하여 성능을 분석하였다. 동일한 winding pattern 및 조건하에 prepreg winding과 wet winding 방식을 적용하여 제작한 압력 용기의 성능을 비교하였고, prepreg winding의 설계 조건, 공정 변화를 통해 제작한 압력 용기의 파열 압력 및 형태를 분석하였다. 이러한 winding 조건들에 따라 제작된 압력용기는 최종적으로 PR(Performance ratio) 값을 산출하고, 이를 통하여 prepreg 제작 방식의 장단점, 제작에 필요한 설계 조건 및 기초 자료 등을 고찰하여 보았다.

In this research, an empirical study on the designed burst pressure of Type3 composite cylinder was performed by hydrostatic burst test equipment. The designed burst pressure of Type3 composite cylinders, which are 6.8 liter and 31 MPa of service pressure, was estimated with the analysis using the finite element method. In order to confirm its accuracy, the burst test of small Type3 composite cylinders was perfomed through three times. The burst test equipment can pressurize to 400 MPa. As a result of comparison between the designed burst pressure and actual burst pressure, the difference was less than 4 percentage. With a test result, the analysis accuracy was verified. This technique will be applied to both qualification and inspection for the composite cylinder.

Although the rupture pressure is evaluated from remaining strength when a flaw is defected to cylinder surface, but the rupture pressure can be not easy to estimate for the composite cylinders. In this study, the area capacity method is developed for the type-3 cylinders that is based on the result applied area capacity method of type-1 cylinders. And the reliability is validated by bursting test with artificial flaw at the cylinder surface. The predicted data of area capacity method and experimental results have very similar tendency. This method and results will be a very important records in field of rupture pressure estimations.

Dome shape design method of filament wound (FW) composite pressure vessel, which can create various dome shape with fixed boss opening, was suggested. And, the performance indices (PV/W) for composite pressure vessel with same boss opening but different dome shape were investigated by finite element analysis (FEA) and hydro-test. The FEA showed good agreement with test results for burst pressure. Generally, as the dome shape of pressure vessel was changed to flat dome, the inner volume is increased and the burst pressure is decreased. In the case of above ${\rho}_o$=0.54, the performance index showed decreased value due to the low burst pressure. However, at ${\rho}_o$=0.35, the dome shape change brings not significant reduction of burst pressure and performance index.

복합재 연소관의 구조적 건전성 평가 방법을 개발하기 위하여 표준 평가용 시편의 수압 시험 중, 연소관으로부터 방출되는 음향방출(acoustic emission: AE) 신호를 측정 장비를 이용하여 신호 처리함으로써 시편이 파괴되기 전, 대략적인 시편의 파열 위치 및 일정 압력 유지상태에서 hit rate 양상에 의한 건전성 평가 방법을 제시하였다. 데이터의 분석 기법 향상을 위하여 음향방출 데이터를 시간 및 센서별로 분류하는 프로그램을 개발하였다. 수압 시험을 낮은 압력 단계부터 높은 압력 단계까지 일정 압력 유지 상태(load-hold)에서 발생한 hit 수와 1분간 유지한 후 발생되는 hit rate(hit/sec)의 값의 크고 작음이 복합재 압력 용기의 결함수의 증감으로 나타났으며, 이로부터 복합재 압력 용기의 파열 압력과의 상관관계 및 건전성을 예측할 수 있었다. 복합재 압력 용기의 파열 위치는 energy rate(energy/sec) 측정값을 분석하여 예측하였으며, 파열 압력의 30∼50%에서 가능하였다.

I collected the cases of CNG vehicle accidents which had happened for 30 years and analyzed the causes of the accidents according to each type of cylinders. There are about six accidents including three cylinder explosion accidents due to bad heat treatment, one composite damage, one CNG vehicle fire, and one fuel piping accident owing to the poor maintenance. When looking into the cylinder types involved in the accidents and the causes, 29% of the cylinder accidents are Type I and 24% Type IV, 16% Type II, and 14% Type III. 37% of the accidents are caused by the defects of the raw materials and the errors of a manufacturing process, 16% by the stress corrosion cracking as a result of the repetitive use, 15% by the cylinder's explosion on account of the malfunction of PRD(Pressure Relief Device) and the overpressure. The remainders of the causes are fire and unknown causes. Therefore, cylinder manufacturers have to strengthen quality management of raw materials and manufacturing process and painting regardless of each type of cylinder. Also bus operators need to make an effort to keep safety condition through every day check.

Mixed gas cylinder(80% Ar, 20% $O_2$) exploded three years ago. But the cause of cylinder rupture was not identified and the case was finished. This paper is the discussions on the cause of cylinder explosion with the investigation report by the police and the similar accident cases. The cause of explosion is the chemical reaction in the cylinder. This accident is similar with the explosion of pressurized oxygen cylinder.

This research seeks to evaluate damage on type II gas cylinder by an acoustic emission test when executing 20000 cycles fatigue test and thereafter burst test. Used gas cylinders in the experimental are three types as follows; one is sound cylinder, others are cylinders which contain longitudinal and transverse artificial defect. The size of artificial defect is a depth of 3 mm, width of 3 mm and length of 50 mm. In the case of the cylinder which artificial defect, unlike the expectation that it will burst in low pressure, the burst pressure of the cylinder did not differ much according to whether or not there were defects. However, when there was longitudinal defect, the location of burst was near the location of defect. This leads to the effect in which the thickness of the composite material becomes thinner according to the length of the longitudinal defect and this is judged to have an effect on the location of initiation and growth of crack in the liner. Also, for the acoustic emission signal, when there is longitudinal defect, the ratio of an event occurring at defect position among overall hits is more than 50 %, and the source location also accords very precisely with defect position.

During hydroproof test of composite pressure vessel, acoustic emission signal was measured and analyzed to evaluate structural integrity of composite motor case. When pressure was held for 1 min. at constant pressure from low pressure level to high pressure level, the pattern of hit rate of good composite pressure vessel is increased with higher value than that of bad composite pressure vessel. This report also presents detection possibility of burst location approximately in the range of 25∼36％ of burst pressure using energy rate. In case that it is difficult to detect burst location of composite motor case, it is possible to detect burst location, i.e. structurally weak location of composite pressure vessel with applying same pressure lower than maximum expected operating pressure(MEOP) repeatedly.
