Recent deepwater offshore structures in Gulf of Mexico utilize butt welded tubular joints. Application of welded tubular joint includes tendons, production risers, and steel catenary risers. Fatigue life assessment of these joints becomes more critical because the structures to which they are attached are allowed to undergo cyclic and sometimes large displacements around an anchored position. Estimating the fatigue behavior of these tubular members in the design stage is generally conducted by using S-N curves specified in the codes and standards. Applying the stress concentration factor of the welded structure to S-N approach often results in very conservative assessment because the stress field acting on the tubular has a non-uniform distribution through the thickness. Fracture mechanics and fitness for service (FFS) technology have been applied in the design of the catenary risers. This technology enables the engineer to establish proper requirements on weld quality and inspection acceptance criteria to assure satisfactory structural integrity during its design life. It also provides guidance on proper design curves to be used and a methodology for accounting for the effects of non-uniform stress distribution through the wall thickness. An attempt was made to develop set of S-N curves based on fracture mechanics approach by considering non-uniform stress distribution and a threshold stress intensity factor. Series of S-N curves generated from this approach were compared to the existing S-N curves. For flat plate butt joint, the S-N curve generated from fracture mechanics matches with the IIW class 100 curve when initial crack depth was 0.5 mm (0.02"). Similar comparison with API X′ was made for tubular joint.. These initial crack depths are larger than the limits of inspection by current Non-destructive examination (NDE) means, such as Automatic Ultrasonic Inspection (AUT). Thus a safe approach can be taken by specifying acceptance criteria that are close to limits of sizing capability of the selected NDE method. The comparison illustrates conservatism built into the S-N design curve.

Unconventional computer vision and image processing techniques offer significant advantages for experimental applications to shaking table testing, as they allow the overcoming of most typical problems of traditional sensors, such as encumbrance, limitations in the number of devices, range restrictions and risk of damage of the instruments in case of specimen failure. In this study, a 3D motion optical system was applied to analyze shake table tests carried out, up to failure, on a natural-scale masonry structure retrofitted with steel reinforced grout (SRG). The system makes use of wireless passive spherical retro-reflecting markers positioned on several points of the specimen, whose spatial displacements are recorded by near-infrared digital cameras. Analyses in the time domain allowed the monitoring of the deformations of the wall and of crack development through a displacement data processing (DDP) procedure implemented ad hoc. Fundamental frequencies and modal shapes were calculated in the frequency domain through an integrated methodology of experimental/operational modal analysis (EMA/OMA) techniques with 3D finite element analysis (FEA). Meaningful information on the structural response (e.g., displacements, damage development, and dynamic properties) were obtained, profitably integrating the results from conventional measurements. Furthermore, the comparison between 3D motion system and traditional instruments (i.e., displacement transducers and accelerometers) permitted a mutual validation of both experimental data and measurement methods.

액체로켓엔진 연소기의 내벽에 사용하기 위한 니켈/크롬 도금 공정 개발을 수행하였다. 열충격 시험을 통해 니켈 도금 조건을 선별하였고 니켈/크롬 도금이 수행된 축소형 연소기의 연소시험을 통해 도금 층의 내구성 검증을 수행하였다. 시험결과 도금 층의 균열 및 박리는 발견되지 않았고, 이 결과로부터 현재 사용중인 대기 플라즈마 용사된 세라믹 코팅의 대안으로 니켈/크롬 도금을 액체로켓엔진 연소기에 사용할 수 있으리라 사료된다.

공통축 형태로 배치된 비자성체 이중관에 있어서 유한요소해석 상용 소프트웨어와 실험적인 방법을 각각 이용하여 원격장 와전류 에너지의 전달 경로를 연구하였다. 연구결과 이중관에 있어서 원격장 와전류 에너지는 두 관 사이의 공간을 따라 흐르는 것이 아니라, 단일 튜브의 경우와 마찬가지로 외측 튜브의 외면을 따라 흐름을 확인하였다. 이는 원격장 와전류 효과의 관벽투과 특성이 이중관에 있어서도 유효함을 보여주는 것이다. 따라서, 중수로형 핵연료 채널과 같은 이중관 형태를 대상으로 내관 및 외관의 내 외부 결함 탐상, gap 분포 및 지지대의 위치 확인 등에 원격장 와전류 방법의 관벽투과 특성이 응용될 수 있음을 보였다.

The steam generator in a nuclear power plant is a large heat exchanger that uses heat from a reactor to generate steam to drive the turbine generator. Rupture of a steam generator tube can result in release of fission products to environment outside. Therefore, an accurate integrity assessment of the steam generator tubes with cracks is of great importance for maintaining the safety of a nuclear power plant. The steam generator tubes are supported at regular intervals by support plates and rotations of the tubes are restrained. Although it has been reported that the limit load for a circumferential crack is significantly affected by boundary condition of the tube, existing limit load solutions do not consider the restraining effect of support plate correctly. In addition, there are no limit load solutions for circumferential cracks in U-bend region with the effect of the support plate. This paper provides detailed limit load solutions for circumferential cracks in top of tube sheet and the U-bend regions of the steam generator tube with the actual boundary conditions to simulate the restraining effect of the support plate. Such solutions are developed based on three dimensional finite element analyses. The resulting limit load solutions are given in a polynomial form, and thus can be simply used in practical integrity assessment of the steam generator tubes.

일반적으로 깊은 보의 개구부 보강을 할 경우 개구부 주변의 부족한 내력에 대해 수직, 수평, 대각, 혹은 혼합된 배근 형태를 사용하게 되는데, 경제성과 구조적 안전성을 고려하기 위해서는 각 배근 형태 및 방법에 따른 깊은 보의 거론 평가와 적절한 조합에 관한 연구가 절실히 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 개구부 보강방법을 변수로 한 simulation 모델을 통해 수직, 수평 보강의 효과에 대해 해석적으로 검증을 한 후, 각 규준에서 제시하고 있는 개구부가 있는 깊은 보의 전단 내력식을 분석하고 해당 식을 보완하여 단순지지 1경간 및 연속 경간에 적용 가능한 전단 내력 산정식을 제안하고자 한다.

The fire compartments with fire-resistant construction are installed in the principal structural parts of a building in order to reduce damage in the event of a building fire. As a fire may spread through a crack in the fire compartment, the firestop with secured performance is used according to the procedure, methods, and standards specified in the detailed operation guideline. According to the current detailed operation guideline, vertical members (wall penetration) and horizontal members (floor penetration) are classified into different categories respective to each other for the classification of the firestop. Therefore, an accreditation applicant must apply for the performance test for each structure even if the wall and the floor have the same structure. Also, Grade T is used for the firestop that penetrates the fire compartment. However, in the case of foreign countries, the use of Grade F for the firestop is allowed even if it penetrates the fire compartment. The result of the precedent studies also showed that there was a significantly low possibility of fire to spread even if Grade F was applied for a metallic duct that penetrated the fire compartment. In this study, the improved scheme for the classification and performance standard of firestops was presented by analyzing the results of precedent studies regarding the firestop and domestic and overseas firestop qualification systems.

현재 건설중인 한국원자력 연구소 내의 지하 처분 연구시설에서 발파에 의한 터널 굴착 중 발생하는 손상대를 모니터링 하기 위해 시추공 레이다 반사법 탐사를 수행하였다. 60m 길이의 진입 터널이 완성되고 끝단에 쉘터가 만들어진 뒤 쉘터로부터 길이 35 m의 수평 시추공을 뚫어 터널 굴착에 따른 손상대 모니터링을 위한 관측공으로 사용하였다. 시추공은 굴착터널로부터 5.5 m 떨어져 있으며, $2{\sim}4$일 간격으로 5회 실험을 실시하였다. 터널의 굴착에 따른 터널면에서의 반사가 가장 강력한 반사면으로 작용하였으며, 서로 다른 날짜의 자료의 비교를 통해 터널 굴착면에 인접한 반사면의 변화를 감지 하였으며 이는 균열대의 생성과 암반 강도의 저하에 의한 것으로 여겨 졌으며 손상대로 평가되었다.

Based on the structure feature of a tree, a cylindrical $Ti_2AlC$/graphite layered composite has been fabricated through heat treating a graphite column and six close-matched thin wall $Ti_2AlC$ cylinders bonded with the $Ti_2AlC$ powders at $1300^{\circ}C$ and low oxygen partial pressure. SEM examination reveals that the bond interlayers between cylinders or that between cylinder and column are not fully dense without any crack formation. During the compressive test, the strain of the $Ti_2AlC$/graphite layered composite is about twice higher than that of the monolithic $Ti_2AlC$ ceramic, and the compressive strength of the layered composite is 348 MPa. The layered composite show the noncatastrophic fracture behaviors due to the debonding and shelling off of the layers, which are different from the monolithic $Ti_2AlC$ ceramic. The mechanism of the improved deformation capacity and noncatastrophic failure modes are attributed to the presence of the central soft graphite column and cracks deflection by the bond interlayers.
