Being focused on the recent studies that the fatigue strength of resistance spot weldmentes can be improved by using ellipsoidal weld nuggets, the voltage and temperature distribution in resistance spot weldments were simulated for the various rectangular electrodes which had the different aspect ratio of the contact area. Because the electrode shape was not axi-symmetric, the solution domain for simulation should be three dimensional. A series of experiments were carred out to verify the analytically obtained temperature distribution in the weldment. From the calculational and experimental results, it could be revealed that the nugget took the form of ellipsoid, while both results showed a considerable discrepancy for the high aspect ratio.

In the nuclear power plant, emergency core coolant system(ECCS) is furnished at reactor coolant system(RCS) in order to cool down high temperature water in case of emergency. However, in this coolant system, thermal stratification phenomenon can be occurred due to coolant leaking in the check valve. The thermal stratification produces excessive thermal stresses at the pipe wall so as to yield thermal fatigue crack(TFC) accident. In the present study, when the turbulence penetration occurs in the branch piping, the maximum temperature differences of fluid at the pipe cross-sections of the T-branch with thermal stratification are examine

In most case high temperature components in fossil power plant are damaged by fatigue, creep and degradation. Design of power plant components is based on ideal loading such as temperature, pressure and so on. But in many cases unexpected loadings are applied at components. A key ingredient in plant life extension is the preventive diagnosis technology and remaining-life-assessment technology. This paper describes diagnosis technology and life-assessment technology for power plant boiler. It helps in setting up proper inspection schedules, maintenance procedures, and operating procedure.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the thermal embrittlement and the mechanical properties of 2.25Cr-1Mo steel aged at high temperature and stress for 250 hours. Original, aged artificially material were tested to obtain the hardness and impact absorbed energy. Hardness and impact absorbed energy decreased with the increasing aging time. The carbide morphology with the thermal embrittlement was found to contribute to the mechanical property change by X-Ray diffraction method.

In the nuclear power plant, emergency core coolant system (ECCS) is furnished at reactor coolant system (RCS) in order to cool down high temperature water in case of emergency. However, in this coolant system, thermal stratification phenomenon can be occurred due to coolant leaking in the check valve. The thermal stratification produces excessive thormal stresses at the pipe wall so as to yield thermal fatigue crack (TFC) accident. In the present study, when the turbulence penetration occurs in the branch pipe, the maximum temperature differences of fluid at the pipe cross-sections of the T-branch with thermal stratification are examine.

Bellows are mechanical components which prevent the damage of system by absorption of the vibration and the displacement of axle and radial direction. Thermal piping system is expanded by the fluid of the high temperature from the heat engine inside. At this time, bellows prevent the damage of the piping due to the thermal expansion. Recently, design of bellows is required to fit some other operational environments which are not suggested in the E.J.M.A code book. And it is difficult to produce and to maintain bellows of high temperature and high pressure bemuse of its complicated shape and this causes the manufacturing cost to rise. The objective of this study is to determine optimum shape of bellows which can endure in the high temperature and high pressure. The maximum stress has an effect on the fatigue life of bellows, therefore it needs to be minimized. This study attempts to find a shape which minimizes the stress occurring in the bellows by the design of experiment. The model used in this study is not presented in the E.J.M.A code book, therefore, from the result of design of experiment we find the factors which give effects on the characteristic value and we presents the recession model using the RSM, which can predict the characteristic values depending on the change of factor values.

Products for heating indoors in low temperature and dry winter are largely divided into products using fossil fuels and products using electricity. The fossil fuels can warm the entire space by convection, but there is a high risk of fire and the frequent ventilation due to the increase in carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Heaters using electricity are mainly used because they are convenient to use and are cheap. However, these products can not efficiently warm the air because they use radiation energy. In other words, only the front part exposed to the heater is warm, and the rear part has no heating effect at all. Also, because it emits a large amount of light, fatigue of the eyes is very high. Another problem is that when using electric heaters, the room tends to be dry by high heat. Indoor humidity maintenance is a very important factor in the prevention and treatment of respiratory diseases. Especially, it is essential for health care for infants, bronchial organs and people with weak respiratory because humidity is low in winter. In this study, we conducted a study to develop a product that can improve heating efficiency while maintaining proper indoor humidity by combining heat energy and moisture particles. The concept of humidification and heating at the same time, moisture particles generated in the humidifier pass through the heater, include thermal energy, and the moisture particles with thermal energy are diffused into the space by forced convection, thereby warming the entire space. In addition, the heating time is shortened as the feeling temperature is increased with the high relative humidity, and this has the effect that the heating cost in winter is reduced.

가스터빈엔진의 가장 핵심 부품인 디스크와 블레이드는 고온, 고압축비, 고속 회전이라는 가혹한 환경에서 지속적으로 운용된다. 이러한 가혹한 환경과 디스크와 블레이드가 가지는 큰 회전 에너지로 인해 디스크 및 블레이드에 의해 유발되는 파손은 항공기 손상 혹은 탑승자의 피해로 이어지는 재해적 고장 혹은 한계 고장으로 이어진다. 그러므로 디스크와 블레이드의 구조적 건전성의 마진을 충분히 확보하기 위해서 본 연구에서는 디스크의 취약 부위인 도브테일의 형상을 최적화하고, 그 해의 강건성을 확인하기 위해 치수 공차와 피로 수명의 산포와 같은 불확실성에 대하여 신뢰도 해석을 수행하고자 한다. 이 결과를 통해 결정론적 방법인 최적설계의 필요성과 함께 한계를 확인하고, 향후 신뢰도 기반 최적설계의 필요성을 인지하고자 한다. 이를 위해 비선형 열-구조 연성해석과 접촉 해석을 포함한 유한요소해석을 수행하였다.

Co base superalloys have been widely used for the parts of gas turbine due to their excellent strength, thermal fatigue, oxidation resistance and weldability at high temperature. In this study, directional solidifications were carried out at various solidification rates, including $0.5{\sim}300{\mu}m/s$ in the Co base superalloy FSX-414. The cellular interface were formed at a low solidification rate, $1{\mu}m/s$, and the dendritic interface was found at higher solidification rates, $5{\sim}300{\mu}m/s$. As the spacing of dendrite structure decreased, the size and spacing of eutectics decreased. Dendrite arm spacing decreased with increasing solidification rates and temperature gradient. It was interesting to find the $M_{23}C_{6}$ eutectic microstructure formed between $\gamma$ dendrites. Composition analysis showed that Cr and W were segregated severely between the dendrites, which resulted in the formation of Cr-rich $M_{23}C_{6}$ and W-rich MC carbides.

Tilting pad journal bearings have been widely used in a high speed rotating machinery, such as steam turbines and gas turbines, owing to their inherent stability characteristics. However, some peculiar fatigue failure in the babbitt metal due to spragging has been continuously occurred at the leading edge of the upper pads. The spragging is defined as the pad vibration initiated on the upper unloaded pads in a tilting pad journal bearing. This paper describes both several kinds of bearing failure related with spragging and the theoretical investigation on the prevention of the spragging phenomenon using the variation of preload. Results show that positive preload(m>0.5) assures all pads remain statically loaded under all operating conditions. For the change of design parameter to prevent spragging, thermo-hydrodynamic lubrication and rotor dynamic analysis were performed to verify temperature limitation on bearing and vibration problems on rotor bearing system.
