The cylindrical Upper Guide Structure assembly of the reactor intervals wish the Core Support Barrel and the Inner Barrel Assembly is subjected to flow induced loads horizontally which include random pressure fluctuation due to turbulent flow and pump pulsation pressures. The purpose of this papers is to perform random vibration and harmonic response analyses fort flow induced loads. The dynamic response characteristics due to random turbulence and pump pulsation loads were evaluated using the lumped mass beam model. Especially the model considered the annulus effects due to water gaps existing between cylindrical structures such as the Upper Guide Structure Barrel, the Core Support Barrel, and the Inner Barrel Assembly. The effect of the Inner Barrel Assembly inside the Upper Guide Structure assembly was studied. The peak dynamic responses lot each loading condition due to the addition of IBA were affected by the natural frequencies of the structures. Therefore the peak dynamic responses of the structures should be conservatively obtained from evaluation of dynamic analysis for various loading conditions.

과거 유체 유발 진동(FIV : Fluid Induced Vibration)은 배관계 설계 하중에 고려되지 않은 설계 하중이었다. 하지만, 원자력 발전소 또는 화력 발전소의 배관형상이 복잡하고 고온수가 배관 내부에서 유동하는 배관계에서 육안으로 관측이 가능한 배관진동이 발생하였다. 이에 배관 진동에 대하여 원인 분석과 배관 구조 건전성 평가에 관심을 가지게 되었다. 배관 진동은 배관 형상에 따라 배관 내부 난류 유동에 대한 압력 변동이 하나의 원인이며, 고온수가 유동하는 배관일수록 압력 변동에 대한 배관 진동이 크게 나타나는 것으로 분석되었다. 배관 내부 난류 유동에 대한 압력 변동을 불규칙 수력하중이라고 한다. 본 연구에서는 배관 내부에서 난류 유동으로 발생하는 불규칙 수력하중을 유동해석을 이용하여 PSD(Power Spectral Density)로 산출하고, PSD 하중을 이용하여 불규칙 구조 응답 해석을 수행하여 배관계 응력 분포에 대하여 연구하였다. 배관 내부 난류 유동에 대한 불규칙 수력하중은 DES 난류 모델을 사용하여 시간에 대한 배관 내부 표면의 유체 속도를 유동 해석으로 산출하였으며, 유체 속도를 동압으로 계산한 후 FFT(Fast Fourier Transform)를 수행하여 PSD 하중으로 산출하였다. 그리고 불규칙 구조 응답 해석에서 배관 내부 유체 영향에 대한 진동 감쇠를 표현하기 위하여 유체 질량을 산출하고, 배관 구조 해석 모델 표면에 질량을 입력하는 방법으로 배관 고유진동수 및 불규칙 구조 응답 해석을 수행하였다.

In this study, fluid-induced vibration (FIV) analyses have been conducted for tall building structure. In order to investigate the aeroelastic responses of tall building due to wind load, advanced computational analysis system based n computational fluid dynamics(CFD) and computational structural dynamics (CSD) has been developed. Fluid domains are modeled using the computational grid system with local grid deforming technique. A fully implicit time marching scheme based on the Newmark direct integration method is used for computing the coupled aeroelastic governing equations of tall structure for fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems. Detailed aeroelastic responses and results are presented to show the physical phenomenon of the tall building.

Although the cone type venturi flow meter is superior to another differential pressure type flow meter in precision, the venturi is installed at the pipe as an L beam, so that the dynamic load due to drag force and flow-induced force is generated in the flow meter. In this paper we propose a methodology to evaluate this dynamic load directly by using stain-gages attached on the venturi and we discuss about the dynamic characteristics on the basis of flow-induced vibration theory.

At liftoff, launch vehicles are subject to harmful acoustic loads due to the intense acoustic waves generated by propulsion systems. Because these waves can cause electronic and mechanical components of launch vehicles and payloads to fail, predicting and mitigating acoustic loads is an important design issue. This article presents the latest information about the generation of acoustic waves and the acoustic design methods applicable to the launch pad. The development of the Japanese Epsilon solid launcher is given as an example of the new methodology for launch pad design. Computational fluid dynamics together with 1/42 scale model testing were performed for this development. Effectiveness of the launch pad design to reduce acoustic loads was confirmed by the post-flight analysis.

Sloshing of LNG cargo can cause high impact loads on the supporting and containing structures. This is particularly critical for membrane-type tanks since these will have flat surfaces and corner regions which can lead to increased peak pressures for sloshing impacts. The membrane-type containment system is much more flexible compared to the steel hull structure. As a result, fluid-structure interaction plays an important role in the structural analysis of the containment system under sloshing load. This study is based on the direct calculation method of applying sloshing loads to the KC-1 basic insulation system using finite element analysis. The structural analysis of KC-1 basic insulation system considers the dashpot as fluid-structure interaction between liquid cargo and the LNG containment system. The maximum stress of the polyurethane form for KC-1 insulation system is 1.5 times lower than one without dashpot.

In this study, seismic response analyses of a MW class wind-turbine have been conducted considering applied wind-loads using advanced computational method based on CFD and FEM. Typical lateral and vertical acceleration levels induced by earthquake is also considered herein. Practical numerical method for seismic response analysis of wind-turbine tower models are presented in the time-domain and the effects of wind load and seismic excitation for responses are compared to each other. It is importantly shown that possible earthquake effect during typical operating conditions should be taken into account in the design of huge wind-turbine tower systems because of its enormous inertia characteristics for induced maximum stress level.

대형 구조물의 진동제어를 위하여 MR 유체 댐퍼를 사용한 반능동 제어기법에 대하여 연구하였다. 기존에 많이 사용되고 있는 수동제어기법은 일단 제어장치를 설치한 후에는 구조물에 실제로 작용하고 있는 외부 하중의 현재 특성에 대해서 적절히 반응할 수 없다는 제한을 가지고 있으며, 이를 극복하기 위하여 연구되어온 능동제어기법은 구조물이 진동을 감소시키기 위하여 구조물에 직접적으로 가해지는 커다란 제어력을 요구하며, 이로 인해 경우에 따라서는 불안정한 상태가 유발될 수도 있다는 점이 단점으로 지적되고 있다. 최근에 Spencer 등은 반능동 제어기법을 제안하였는데, 이는 수동제어장치의 제어특성을 On-Line 으로 조절하는 방식으로서 제어 가능한 수동제어기법으로도 불리운다. 구조물의 진동제어에 필요한 제어력이, 특수한 제어기구에서 발생되는 인위적인 힘이 아니라, 적절한 구조부재에서 발생되는 자연적인 부재력이므로, 무엇보다 강인하고 신뢰할 수 있는 제어기법이며, 이때 제어장치의 구조적 특성을, 측정된 구조물의 응답에 맞추어 적절히 조절함으로써 다양한 외부하중에 대해 보다 효율적인 제어가 이루어질 수 있도록 한 방법이다. 반능동제어를 위한 제어기로서는 Variable Orifice Dampers, Friction Controllable Isolators, Variable Stiffness Devices, Electro-Rheological (ER) Fluid Damper, Magneto-Rheological(MR) Fluid Damper등이 제안되고 있으며, 본 논문에서는 반응속도가 빠르고, 적은 파워만을 요구하며, 커다란 제어력을 낼 수 있는 MR Damper를 사용하여 지진하중을 받는 구조물의 반능동 제어게 대하여 연구하였다. MR Damper의 특성이 비선형이므로 이에 적합한 Sliding Mode Fuzzy Control(SMFC)기법을 사용하였으며 이때 SMFC 의 최적 설계를 위하여 Genetic Algorithm을 적용하였다. 제안된 제어기법의 실제 적용성을 검증하기 위하여 기존이 제어결과와 비교 검토하였으며, 그 결과로부터 MR Damper를 사용한 반능동 제어기법이 구조물의 진동제어에 매우 효과적임을 확인할 수 있었다.

The dynamic load caused by sloshing of internal fluid severely affects the structural and control stabilities of cylindrical liquid containers accelerating vertically. If the sloshing frequency of fluid is near the frequency of control system or the tank structure, large dynamic force and moment act on launching vehicles. For the suppression of such dynamic effects, generally flexible ring-type baffles are employed. In this paper, we perform the numerical analysis to evaluate the dynamic suppression effects of baffle. The parametric analysis is performed with respect to the baffle inner-hole diameter and two different baffle spacing types : equal spacing with respect to the tank and one with respect to the fluid height. The ALE (arbitrary Lagrangin-Eulerian) numerical method is adopted for the accurate and effective simulation of the hydrodynamic interaction between fluid and elastic structure.

In this paper, the structure-fluid coupled analysis is carried out in order to examine the cause of the vibration induced by fluid in the pressure-reducing valves for water. It is confirmed that there is the noise at the area of low frequency of 250Hz by measuring noise at pressure reducing valve. The flow analysis is performed by the commercial software ANSYS/CFX. The flow velocity of about 40 m/s is formed by nozzle effect, and so negative pressure is happened in the pressure reducing valve. The structure analysis is carried out with the load condition of pressure distribution by flow formed in valve. The rubber material at disk is deformed to the extent of closing up flow passage. It is confirmed that the disc deformation which is occurred repeatedly is due to noise and vibration at the pressure reducing valve.
