A crack identification method using an equivalent bending stiffness and natural frequency for cracked beam is presented. Modal properties of cantilever beam with a tip mass is identified by applying the boundary conditions to a general solution. An equivalent bending stiffness for cracked beam based on an energy method is used to identify natural frequencies of cantilever thin-walled pipe with a tip mass, which has a through-the-thickness crack, subjected to bending. The identified natural frequencies of the cracked beam are used in constructing training patterns of neural networks. Then crack location and size are identified using a committee of the neural networks. Crack detection was carried out for an example beam using the proposed method, and the identified crack locations and sizes agree reasonably well with the exact values.

This paper considers a pipeline conveying one-dimensional unsteady flow inside. The dynamics of the fluid-pipe system is represented by two coupled equations of motion for the transverse and axial displacements, which are linearized from a set of partial differential equations which consists of the axial and transverse equations of motion of the pipeline and the equations of momentum and continuity of the internal flow. Because of the complex nature of fluid-pipe interactive mechanism, a very accurate solution method is required to get sufficiently accurate dynamic characteristics of the pipeline. In the literatures, the finite element models have been popularly used for the problems. However, it has been well recognized that finite element method (FEM) may provide poor solutions especially at high frequency. Thus, in this paper, a spectral element model is developed for the pipeline and its accuracy is evaluated by comparing with the solutions by FEM.

In this paper, Firstly, it is shown that the high vibration source of piping system is the pulsation transmission of pipe line element, such as, orifice plate, valves and the control valve is a broad band source and the branch wall and the cavity have vortex frequency. Secondly, in order to decrese the high vibration of piping system, some practical Friction damper with high damping have been developed and its effectiveness is investigated as installing it at piping system practically.

The paper describes the relationship between the eigenvalue branches and the corresponding flutter modes of cantilevered pipes with a tip mass conveying fluid. Governing equations of motion are derived by extended Hamilton's principle, and the numerical scheme using finite element method is applied to obtain the discretized equations. The flutter configurations of the pipes at the critical flow velocities are drawn graphically at every twelfth period to define the order of quasi-mode of flutter configuration. The critical mass ratios, at which the transference of the eigenvalue branches related to flutter takes place. are definitely determined. Also, in the case of haying internal damping, the critical tip mass ratios, at which the consistency between eigenvalue braches and quasi-modes occurs. are thoroughly obtained.

A case history is presented pertaining to piping fatigue by vibrations and sustain stresses in the hydraulic oil supply system for control valves in a 200MW thermal power plant that ultimately resulted in pipe rupture. The Piping was designed to supply the hydraulic oil for turbine control valves. Testing and analyses were performed on the system to develop solution to repair work on failures.

배관 가동시 여러 지점에서 가속도를 측정, 이를 이용하여 배관의 어느 부위에 stress가 많이 걸리는지 해석적으로 확인하기 위한 연구이다. 먼저, 배관 설계시 사용된 CEASER II의 정보를 기반으로 해석 모델을 만들었다. 해석 모델을 바탕으로 측정 포인트를 산정한 후, 가동 중인 배관의 가속도를 측정하였다. 측정된 가속도 data를 OMA(Operational Modal Analysis) method를 이용하여 Mode shape 및 Frequency를 추출한 후 이를 바탕으로 배관의 FE 모델을 Updating 하였다. Updating 된 배관 FE 모델에 측정된 가속도 data가 나오도록 Force를 가해 배관에 걸리는 stress를 계산하였다.

This paper presents some results of research for applying ultrasonic cleaning to an interior wall of cylindrical pipe. As the cleaning is achieved better for higher sound pressure, ultrasonic sound field in a cylindrical container is considered. The paper identifies nonuniform sound field established by the radiation of a cylindrical transducer driven at resonant frequency, Numerical analysis predicts the sound pressure distribution, and experiment verifies the trend of analysis results. Experiment observes the cleaning effect, and this paper suggests the possibility of using a cylindrical ultrasonic cleaning device.

In this paper, a spectral element model is developed for the uniform straight pipelines conveying internal unsteady fluid flow. The spectral element matrix is formulated by using the exact frequency-domain solutions of the pipe-dynamics equations. The spectral element dynamic analysis is then conducted to evaluate the accuracy of the present spectral element model and to investigate the vibration characteristics and internal fluid characteristics of an example pipeline system.

The paper deals with the relationship between the eigenvalue branches and the corresponding flutter modes of cantilevered pipes with a tip mass conveying fluid. Governing equations of motion are derived by extended Hamilton's principle, and the numerical scheme using finite element method is applied to obtain the discretized equations. The order of branches and unstable modes associated with flutter are defined in the stability maps of mass ratios of the pipe and the critical flow velocity. As a result, the relationship between the flutter related to the eigenvalue branches and the flutter modes are investigated thoroughly.

A technique is presented that uses a new guided wave technique for sludge and blockages detection in long-range pipelines. Existing techniques have the limitations that the sludge position needs to be known a priori and the area to be inspected needs to be accessible. Two guided wave techniques have been developed which allow the sludge or blockages to be detected remotely without the need to access the specific location where the pipe is blocked, nor to open the pipe. The first technique measures the reflection of guided waves by sludge which can be used to accurately locate the blocked region; the second technique detects sludge by revealing the changes to the transmitted guided waves propagating in the blocked region or after it. The two techniques complement each other and their combination leads to a reliable sludge or blockage detection. Various types of realistic sludge have been considered in the study and the practical capabilities of the two techniques have been demonstrated.
