축방향으로 벽면에서 일정한 열 유속의 경계조건을 갖는 곡관 유동에서 유동장 및 온도장에서의 Dean 수와 곡률의 영향을 알아보기 위한 층류 유동 및 열전달에 관한 3차원 수치모사를 수행하였다. 연구에서 수행된 레이놀즈 수의 범위는 100~4000이며 Prandtl 수는 0.71이다. 곡률 비는 0.01, 0.025, 0.05 그리고 0.1이다. 본 연구에서 계산된 축방향 속도 및 온도 분포, 국소 Nusselt 수는 기존의 수치 및 실험 결과들과 잘 일치하였다. 유동 및 열전달에 대한 곡률의 영향을 알아보기 위하여 저항계수 및 열전달 계수가 계산되었고 기존의 이론 및 실험 연구의 결과들과 비교하였다. Dean 수와 Prandtl 수에 의한 평균 Nusselt 수의 관계식을 유도하였다. 또한 곡률의 변화에 따른 난류 유동으로 천이하는 임계 레이놀즈 수의 변화를 알아보았다.

A method for the vibration analysis of curved beam conveying fluid with uniform velocity was presented. The dynamics of curved beam is based on the inextensible theory. Both in-plane motion and out-of-plane motion of curved beam were discussed. The finite element method was formulated to solve the governing equations. The natural frequencies calculated by the presented method were compared with those by analytical solution, straight beam theories and Nastran. As the velocity of fluid becomes larger, the results by straight beam model became different from those by curved beam model. And it was shown that the curved beam element should be used to predict the critical velocity of fluid exactly. The influence of fluid velocity on the frequency response function was also discussed.

The nonlinear snap-through buckling of functionally graded (FG) carbon nanotube reinforced composite (CNTRC) curved tubes is analytically investigated in this research. It is assumed that the FG-CNTRC curved tube is supported on a three-parameter nonlinear elastic foundation and is subjected to the uniformly distributed pressure and thermal loads. Properties of the curved nanocomposite tube are distributed across the radius of the pipe and are given by means of a refined rule of mixtures approach. It is also assumed that all thermomechanical properties of the nanocomposite tube are temperature-dependent. The governing equations of the curved tube are obtained using a higher-order shear deformation theory, where the traction free boundary conditions are satisfied on the top and bottom surfaces of the tube. The von Kármán type of geometrical non-linearity is included into the formulation to consider the large deflection in the curved tube. Equations of motion are solved using the two-step perturbation technique for nanocomposite curved tubes which are simply-supported and clamped. Closed-form expressions are provided to estimate the snap-buckling resistance of FG-CNTRC curved pipes rested on nonlinear elastic foundation in thermal environment. Numerical results are given to explore the effects of the distribution pattern and volume fraction of CNTs, thermal field, foundation stiffnesses, and geometrical parameters on the instability of the curved nanocomposite tube.

High temperature and high pressure heavy water flows through the pipes in atomic power plants. The curved parts of pipes are critical parts in that they change the direction of steam flow, and these parts are especially affected by severe wear. Therefore, most pipes in atomic power plants are tested by non-destructive examination by workers who use ultrasonic sensors to measure the wall thickness of pipes. But not only are these pipes located in a very dangerous environment, but the space is also very limited. For the safety of workers, it is necessary to design a device that uses a mobile robot that can inspect curved pipes. This paper presents the design and construction of a small device that can generate the necessary contact forces between ultrasonic sensors and pipe walls in a limited space. And a mobile robot is used in place ortho worker for successful non-destructive examination.

현재 주로 사용되고 있는 디지털 방사선 검사용 검출기는 평면형의 구조를 가진 검출기로 이루어져 있어 곡률을 가진 검사 대상물의 디지털 방사선 검사 시 완전한 밀착이 불가능 하였다. 본 연구는 산업현장에서 배관 용접부를 대상으로 한 디지털 방사선 투과 검사 시 디지털 영상의 상질 개선을 위하여 곡률에 밀착이 가능한 커브드 형태의 검출기를 제작하였고, 공칭 두께가 각기 다른 6" 배관을 대상으로 평면형 검출기와 커브드 검출기를 사용한 디지털 방사선 영상을 획득하였다. 실험 결과, 평면형 검출기는 배관과 완전한 밀착이 되지 않아 배관 외곽부와 검출기 사이의 틈이 생기게 되고, 이로 인해 불선명도 차이가 생기면서 디지털 영상의 확산이 발생하는 것을 확인하였다. 반면, 커브드형 검출기는 배관 외곽부와 검출기 사이의 틈을 최소화 하여 평면형 검출기에 비해 디지털 영상의 확산이 적은 것을 확인하였다. 영상의 확신이 클수록 상질의 저하 및 판독의 오류가 발생할 수 있기 때문에 검사 대상물과 밀착이 가능한 검출기의 사용시 기존 평면형 검출기 보다 양질의 영상을 획득 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

The pipes have been laid underground while the industry is developing. We have to take maintenance procedure when the pipes are cracked or ruptured. It is very difficult jop to check pipe's crack because the pipes are narrow and laid underground. Using in-pipe robot, we can check the conditions of inner section of pipes, therefore, we designed a crawler type robot to search cracked pipe. In this paper, we have made a special focus on the control of the robot using differential drive algorithm to move in curved section of pipes. The detailed design of the robot with experimental result show the effectiveness of the robot in pipe maintenance.

It is a main object to find out the effect of curvature of pipe on the thermal flow field in copper pipe. the toroidal coordinate system is chosen for this project. 3-D numerical works are done by a commercial code, PHOENICS. The flow and temperature field are simulated and analysed on the view point of variation of pressure and temperature with Dean number. The results show that the strong recirculation phenomena and secondary flow are established and then a lot of pressure drop along main flow direction occurs at the curved portion of pipe and the temperature variation has a reversed trend of pressure variation along the axis of pipe.

In this work, the linear vibration characteristics of $90^{\circ}$ pipe bends and their cylindrical and toroidal shell components are studied. The finite element method, based on shear-deformation shell elements, is used to carry out a vibration analysis of metallic multiple $90^{\circ}$ mitred pipe bends. Single, double, and triple mitred bends are considered, as well as a smooth bend. Sample natural frequencies and mode shapes are given. To validate the procedure, comparison of the natural frequencies is made with existing results for cylindrical and toroidal shells. The influence of the multiplicity of the bend, the boundary conditions, and the various geometric parameters on the natural frequency is described. The differential quadrature method, based on classical shell theory, is used to study the vibration of components of these bends. Regression formulas are derived for cylindrical shells (straight pipes) with one or two oblique edges, and for sectorial toroidal shells (curved pipes, pipe elbows). Two types of support are considered for each case. The results given provide information about the vibration characteristics of pipe bends over a wide range of the geometric parameters.

This paper describes a mobile inspection robot with an automatic pipe tracking system for a feeder pipe inspection in a PHWR. The robot is composed of two inch worm mechanisms. One is for a longitudinal motion along a pipe, and the other is for a rotational motion in a circumferential direction to access all of the outer surfaces of a pipe. The proposed mechanism has a stable gripping capability and is easy to install. An automatic pipe tracking system is proposed based on machine vision techniques to make the mobile robot follow an exact outer circumference of a curved feeder pipe as closely as possible, which is one of the requirements of a thickness measurement system for a feeder pipe. The proposed sensing technique is analyzed to attain its feasibility and to develop a calibration method for an accurate measurement. A mobile robot and control system are developed, and the automatic pipe tracking system is tested in a mockup of a feeder pipe.
