We developed numerical models to efficiently simulate the low-cycle fatigue behavior of a pipe elbow. To verify the model, in-plane cyclic bending tests of pipe elbow specimens were conducted, and a through crack occurred in the vicinity of the crown. Numerical models based on the erosion method and tie-break method are developed, and the numerical results are compared with experimental results. The calculated results of both models are in good agreement with experimental results, and the model using the tie-break method possesses two times faster calculation speed. Therefore, the numerical model based on the tie-break method would be beneficial to evaluate the strength of piping systems under seismic loadings.

Most domestic fossil power plants have exceeded 100,000 hours of operation with the severe operating condition. Among the critical components of fossil power plant, high temperature steam pipe systems have had a many problems and damage from unstable displacement behavior because of frequent start up and shut down. In order to prevent the serious damage and failure of the critical pipe system in fossil power plants, 3-dimensional displacement measurement system was developed for the on-line monitoring. Displacement measurement system was developed with a use of a LVDT type sensor and two rotary encoder type sensors. This system was installed and operated on the real power plant successfully.

The paper presents both theoretical and experimental study fur dynamic instabilities of a vortical cantilevered pipe with two attached lumped masses conveying fluid. The two attached lumped masses can be considered as valves or some mechanical paras in real pipe systems. Eigenvalue behaviors depending on the flow velocity are investigated for the change of Positions and magnitudes of an attached lumped mass and a tip mass. In order to verify appropriate of numerical solutions, experiments were accomplished. Theoretical predictions have a good agreement with experimental ones.

This study introduced deterioration evaluation item and criteria that could be applied to industrial facilities with the most widely used carbon steel pipe installed for ordinary piping (KSD 3507). Experimental industrial pipes were evaluated with pipe sectionalizing method combined with the established evaluation item and criteria to measure and manage semi-continuously for overall piping system. After applying outcomes from this study to a plant of incineration facility, a 42% saving in repairing and remodeling cost was achieved.

We report a study on the dynamics of the transport of a capsule immersed in a vertical pipe. Techniques to convey objects through liquid flow pipes using a hydraulic mean are used to transport sludge and hazardous materials. For the better understanding of the techniques, we developed a theoretical model to predict the transport speed of a cylindrical capsule in a vertical pipe. The comparison of the model prediction with the experiments shows that our model using the lubrication approximation precisely describes the experimental observations in cases where the gap between the capsule and pipe wall is sufficiently small. Our study suggests parameters to control the falling speed and thus enable an accurate control of the capsule speed in hydraulic transport systems.

본 논문은 맨홀 아래 지하에 매설된 상수도관의 수압을 효율적으로 측정하기 위하여 무선통신 모듈을 내장한 수압센서(IoT)를 모든 상수도관 밸브에 설치하여 수압을 측정하도록 하였다. 측정한 데이터는 무선 통신으로 스마트폰에 전송하고 스마트폰은 수신한 데이터를 다시 서버로 전송하여 저장하고 관리할 수 있도록 하는 새로운 수압측정 시스템을 제안하였다. 담당자들은 서버에 저장된 수압 데이터를 원격에서 조회하여 상수도관의 누수 여부나 관리지역 내의 수압의 적정성 여부 등을 확인하여 이상 여부를 체크할 수 있도록 함으로써 상수도관의 수압을 효율적으로 관리할 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 테이퍼 보에 대한 미분방정식의 일반해에 캔틸레버 보의 경계조건을 적용하여 모드특성을 추정한다. 또한, 휨을 받는 테이퍼 원형강관 캔틸레버 보에 발생하는 관통균열을 모델링하기 위하여 에너지 방법을 이용하여 균열보에 대한 보 길이방향 휨강성을 구한 후 이를 이용하여 테이퍼 원형강관 캔틸레버 균열보에 대한 고유주파수와 모드형상을 추정한다. 보 길이에 따른 균열보의 휨강성 변화는 기존 연구에서 밝혀진 현상과 유사하게 합리적인 양상을 보였으며, 유도한 휨강성을 적용하여 산정한 균열보의 고유주파수는 균열 크기가 증가할수록 감소함을 확인하였고, 모드형상은 균열발생에 의해 변화함을 알 수 있었다. 연구결과는 향후 테이퍼 원형강관 캔틸레버 보 형태의 타워 구조물에 대한 진동기반 균열탐지에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

지진하중으로 인한 배관계통의 파괴모드는 라체트를 동반하는 저주기 피로파괴이며 비선형 거동이 집중되고 파손이 발생하는 요소는 엘보인 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 저주기 피로에 의한 SCH 40 3인치 탄소강관엘보의 파괴기준을 정량적으로 표현하기 위하여 한계상태를 누수로 정의하고 면내반복가력실험을 수행하였다. 배관계통에서 지진하중에 취약한 요소인 탄소강관엘보에 대하여 모멘트-변형각의 관계를 이용한 손상지수를 나타내었으며 힘-변위의 관계를 이용하여 산정된 손상지수와 비교-분석하였다. 탄소강관엘보에 대하여 반복되는 외력에 의한 소산에너지에 기반을 둔 손상지수로서 누수가 발생한 한계상태를 정량적으로 표현하였다.

Piping systems are composed of pipes with various thickness, diameter and length. Accurate analysis of a piping system requires a complicated three dimensional finite element model and a computer system with large memory size, while simplified models result in system response prediction with deteriorated accuracy. An efficient analysis model for piping systems is proposed in this study. The proposed model is developed by introducing a joint model which accounts for the behavior of a pipe connection. Pipes are represented by beam elements and the effect of local deformation of pipe connections are replaced by joint element deformations. The proposed model which is as simple and efficient as a beam model can be used to obtain piping system response with accuracy close to that of a finite element model.

A study of forced convection in a circular pipe with a partially filled porous medium was numerically investigated. The Brinkman-Forchheimer extension of the Darcy model was used to analyze the and temperature distribution in the porous medium. Our study includes two types of porous layer configurations: (1) a layer attached at the tube wall extending inward towards the centerline and (2) a layer at the centerline extending outward. The effect of several parameters, such as Darcy number, effective viscosity, effective thermal conductivity, and inertia parameter, as well as the effect of geometric parameters, were investigated.
