본 논문에서는 해양구조물의 배관에 작용하는 환경조건과 구조물의 움직임에 따른 구조안전성 평가를 수행하였다. 배관에 작용하는 조건은 N₂ generator의 설계 조건을 분석하여 최고온도와 최저온도 조건을 적용하였다. 구조물의 움직임은 DNV 규칙에 따라 계산하여 적용하였다. 각각의 조건을 조합하고 열 하중, 운동 하중 그리고 배관지지대의 유무에 따라 총 26가지 하중 조합을 구성하였고 상용프로그램인 MSC Patran/Nastran을 이용하여 해석을 진행하였다. 열해석은 Steady-state 방법인 Sol 153, 열-구조 연성 해석은 Linear-static 방법인 Sol 101을 각각 적용하여 수행하였다. 해석 결과, Set 1과 Set 2에서는 배관 내의 온도가 낮을수록, Set 3에서는 온도가 높을수록, Set 4에서는 배관 내외부의 온도 차가 클수록 응력이 증가하는 경향이 있었다. 하지만, 온도 하중만 있는 조건과 운동 하중만 있는 조건에서의 응력의 합이 두 하중의 복합 하중 조건에서의 응력과 같은 값을 나타내지는 않았다. 즉, 운동 하중에 의한 영향은 운동의 방향, 배관의 배치나 지지대의 위치 등에 따라 달라진다는 것을 알 수 있다. 따라서, 설계 시점에서 배관에 작용하는 운동 하중의 크기와 방향, 배관의 배치 그리고 배관 지지대의 위치 등을 종합적으로 고려할 필요가 있다.

The plates made of two materials joined to each other having the different coefficient of thermal expansions are frequently encountered in the industrial applications. The stress analysis of these members under the effect of high-temperature variation has great importance in design. In this study, the stress analysis of the experimental model developed for the problem considered here was performed by the method of photothermoelasticity. The thermal strains were formed by the mechanical way and these were fixed by the strain freezing method. For the stress measurements, the method of slicing is applied which provides three-dimensional stress analysis. The analytical solution in the literature was compared with the related stress distribution obtained from the model. Moreover, the axisymmetric finite element model developed for the problem was solved by ABAQUS and the results obtained here compared with those of the experimental model and the analytical solution. As a result of this study, this experimental method and numerical model can be used for these type of thermal stress problems which have not been comprehensively analyzed yet.

Herein, we present the design and development of an efficient finite element analysis model for thermal plate forming in shipbuilding. Double curvature shells in the ship building industries are primarily formed through the thermal forming technique. Thermal forming involves heating of steel plates using heat sources like oxy-acetylene gas torch, laser, and induction heating, etc. The differential expansion and contraction across the plate thickness cause plastic deformation and bending of plates. Thermal forming is a complex forming technique as the plastic deformation and bending depends on many factors such as peak temperature, heating and cooling rate, depth of heated zone and many other secondary factors. In this work, we develop an efficient finite element analysis model for the thermo-mechanical analysis of thermal forming. Different simulations are reported to study the effect of various parameters affecting the process. Temperature dependent properties are used in the analysis and the finite element analysis model is used to identify the critical flame velocity to avoid recrystallization of plate material. A spring connected plate is modeled for structural analysis using spring elements and that helps in identifying the resultant shapes of various thermal forming patterns. Finally, detailed simulation results are reported to establish the efficacy, applicability and efficiency of the designed and developed finite element analysis model.

The relationship is investigated between material modeling of concrete and the evaluation procedure of thermal stress by the hydration heat. In this respect, some important points are suggested to which special attention should be paid to reasonably evaluate the thermal stress using the widely-used structural analysis programs. This study indicates that proper material model should be used to draw incremental stress evaluation that takes into account the change of elastic modulus with time. Some correction techniques are also presented when using the program that don't have proper built-in procedure for the calculation of the thermal stress.

One of the major factors affecting the life span of a Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) is the Pressurised Thermal Shock (PTS). PTS is a thermo-mechanical load on the RPV wall due to steep temperature gradients and structural load created by internal pressure of the fluid within the RPV. Safe operating life of a nuclear power plant is ensured by carrying out fracture analysis of the RPV against thermal shock. Carrying out fracture tests on RPV/large scale components is not always feasible. Hence, studies on laboratory level specimens are necessary to validate and supplement the prototype results. This paper aims to study the fracture behaviour of standard Compact Tension [C(T)] specimens, made of RPV steel 20MnMoNi55, subjected to thermal shock through experimental and numerical investigations. Fracture tests have been carried out on the C(T) specimens subjected to thermal transient load and tensile load to quantify the effect of thermal shock. Crack resistance curves are obtained from the fracture tests as per ASTM E1820 and compared with those obtained numerically using XFEM and a good agreement was found. A quantitative study on the crack tip plastic zone, computed using cohesive segment approach, from the numerical analyses justified the experimental crack initiation toughness.

Thermal striping is a complex thermal-hydraulic phenomenon caused by fluid temperature fluctuations that can also cause high-cycle thermal fatigue to the structural wall of sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFRs). Numerical simulations using large-eddy simulation (LES) were performed to predict and evaluate the characteristics of the temperature fluctuations related to thermal striping in the upper internal structure (UIS) of the prototype generation-IV sodium-cooled fast reactor (PGSFR). Specific monitoring points were established for the fluid region near the control rod driving mechanism (CRDM) guide tubes, CRDM guide tube walls, and UIS support plates, and the normalized mean and fluctuating temperatures were investigated at these points. It was found that the location of the maximum amplitude of the temperature fluctuations in the UIS was the lowest end of the inner wall of the CRDM guide tube, and the maximum value of the normalized fluctuating temperatures was 17.2%. The frequency of the maximum temperature fluctuation on the CRDM guide tube walls, which is an important factor in thermal striping, was also analyzed using the fast Fourier transform analysis. These results can be used for the structural integrity evaluation of the UIS in SFR.

본 논문은 방사능조사의 조건하에서의 설계조건을 만족해야 하는 fuel rod의 설계응력값을 검증하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이 경우에, 안전성에 있어서 열에 의한 영향이 가장 주된 고려조건이 된다. 그러나 이러한 열영향이 고려된 해석은 구조물의 안전성해석에서 비교적 간단히 해결되는 문제가 아니다. 여기서는 이론적 해석을 통한 접근방식으로 보수적인 관점에서 fuel rod의 설계에 적용되는 설계 응력값을 검증하고자 하였다. 추후에 시도하는 fuel rod의 설계에 있어서 본 해석방법을 이용하면 안전설계의 검증을 위한 이론적 접근방법의 하나로 이용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Most of vehicle manufacturers have applied exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system to the development of diesel engines in order to obtain the high thermal efficiency without $NO_X$ and Particulate Matter (PM) emitted from the engine. EGR system, which reflow a cooled exhaust gas from vehicles burning diesel as fuel to a combustion chamber of engine, has been used to solve this problem. In order to confirm the safety of the EGR system, finite element analysis was carried out. The safety of EGR system against temperature variation in the shell and tubes was evaluated through the thermal and structural analysis, and the modal analysis using ANSYS was also performed. Finally, the performance of EGR system was verified through the experiment and numerical simulation using effectiveness-NTU method. Program for the estimation of the heat exchange efficiency of the EGR system with regard to the dimpled tube shape was developed.

This paper has studied thermal characteristics of machine tool to develope high speed spindle and optimum design condidering the thermal deformation. Comparing the test data of temperature measurement and structural analysis data using FEM, we verified the test validity and predicted thermal deformation, influence of spindle generation of heat, and established cooling system to prevent the thermal deformation. 1) The temperature rise of spindle system depends on increasing number of rotation and shows sudden doubling increment of number of rotation over 7,000rpm. 2) Oil jacket cooling can be effective cooling method below 8,000rpm but, over 8,000rpm, it shows the decrement of cooling effect. 3) Comparing FEM analysis results and revolution test results, we can confirm approximate temperature change consequently, it is possible to simulate temperature rise and thermal distribution on the inside of spindle system. 4) We can confirm that simulated approach by FEM analysis can be effective method in thermal-appropriate design.

본 논문에서는 열해석의 하중조건으로 레이저 열원을 설정하여 반사경의 구조-열-광학 성능 분석을 수행하였다. 레이저 열원 모델은 가우시안 빔을 바탕으로 반투명한 소재를 고려한 Beer-Lambert 법칙을 적용하여 하중조건으로 선정하였으며, 반사경만의 성능 분석을 위하여 기구부는 고려하지 않았다. 열변형해석을 수행하여 반사경 표면의 온도 변화로 인한 열응력과 열변형 데이터를 얻었다. 열변형에 의한 반사경 표면의 변위 데이터를 Zernike 다항식에 피팅하여 파면오차를 계산하였으며, 이를 통해 고에너지 레이저가 반사경으로 입사될 때 반사경의 광학 성능을 예측할 수 있었다.
