This paper presents a study of the behaviour of bolted circular flange joints in tubular structures. In the tests on nine circular flange joints, different tension forces was applied to the joints and bolt strains, displacements and strains in the joints have been measured. Bolt strain, contact force(prying force) between flanges and stress distribution in a joint have been studied. Different methods used for the design of circular flange joints are described.

When the temperature of a flange in a refrigerator is reduced to the dew point, condensation is generated on the flange. Generally, hot lines, having a temperature of $35^{\circ}C$, are located near the flange to increase its surface temperature above the dew point. Hot lines are installed in close contact with the flange in order to increase the heat transfer from the hot lines to the flange surface. Through this work, the effects of the hot line shape and installation conditions, including a gap between the hot line and flange, and the function of a spacer in the inner case of the refrigerator were investigated. Additionally, an optimal shape of the inner case for easy assembling is proposed considering the contact between the hot line and flange.

During bolted flange assembly, the contact stiffness of some areas of the joint surface may be low due to the elastic interaction. In order to improve the contact stiffness at the lowest position of bolted flange, the correlation model between the initial bolt pre-tightening force and the contact stiffness of bolted flange is established in this paper. According to the stress distribution model of a single bolt, an assumption of uniform local contact stiffness of bolted flange is made. Moreover, the joint surface is divided into the compressive stress region and the elastic interaction region. Based on the fractal contact theory, the relationship model of contact stiffness and contact force of the joint surface is proposed. Considering the elastic interaction coefficient method, the correlation model of the initial bolt pre-tightening force and the contact stiffness of bolted flange is established. This model can be employed to reverse determine the tightening strategy of the bolt group according to working conditions. As a result, this provides a new idea for the digital design of tightening strategy of bolt group for contact stiffness of bolted flange. The tightening strategy of the bolted flange is optimized by using the correlation model of initial bolt pre-tightening force and the contact stiffness of bolted flange. After optimization, the average contact stiffness of the joint surface increased by 5%, and the minimum contact stiffness increased by 6%.

Sheet pil VL 제조에 있어서 핵심적인 중요 기술은 압연 중 진행 소재가 좌우 휨이 없이 직진토록하여 치입 상에 문제가 없어야 하는 것이며, 또 하나는 압연 완료후 냉각 중에 있는 제품의 bending량을 최소로 하여 roller 교정기에서 1차 교정으로 교정이 완료되게 하는 것이다. 압연중 소재가 직진토록 하기 위해서 web와 flange 등의 caliber 협상에서 balance가 유지되어야 하므로, web와 flange의 reduction을 1:1 vs 1.0으로 web의 압하가 flange에 비해 10%정도 크게 하였고, 좌우 flange의 reduction이 변화하지 않도록 flange 온도 보존을 위하여 intermediated에서 2 pass를 생략하여 약 40초의 rolling time을 단축시켰고, 이는 7$0^{\circ}C$정도의 온도 drop를 방지하는 효과를 나타내었다. 이로 인한 roll force는 약 15%정도 down 되었다. 논리상으로 A3 변태점 이하에서 web(두꺼운 부분 24.3mm)나 flange(얇은부분 9.5mm)가 동시에 압연이 완료된다면 bending량은 휠씬 줄어든 것이나, 이 경우 roll force 증가에 따른 roll 절손 사고의 위험과 설비 trouble이 우려되기 때문에 web 온도를 약 95$0^{\circ}C$에서 flange 온도를 83.$0^{\circ}C$에서 압연 완료토록 함으로써 설비 안전을 도모하였고, 1차 교정을 위하여 냉각 주수 설비를 설치하여 공냉시켰을 때의 1400mm에서 700mm로 bending량을 감소시킴으로써 이를 가능토록하였다.

Recent, The propeller had high performance according as high performance of small ship. So, We has the development for azimuth thrusters. This Paper has structure improvement of steering support flange in azimuth thrusters. Steering support flange is very important part. because, Steering support flange supports all weight of azimuth thrusters. We has static & dynamic analysis of Steering support flange, and we discover the very safety. So, We has optimum design for the cost reduction. The first method of optimum design, We has the thickness reduce to 30mm from 5mm. Next method of optimum design, We had added stiffener. And we has the structure & dynamic behavior analysis. We had to dynamic behavior analysis. The first, We had to modal analysis. The result of 1st-modal analysis is that original model had to 76.48hz and new model had to 200.9hz. The second, We had to harmonic analysis. The result, We gave the thrust power to steering support flange. and We had to frequency analysis to $0{\sim}500hz$. The result, Deflection ration reduce to 16.64.

In the case of wind turbine design, Optimization of tower structure is very important because tower generally takes about $20\%$ of overall turbine cost. In this paper, we calculated wind loads considering vortex shedding, and optimized tower flange using the calculation results. For optimization, we used FEM to analyze structural strength of the flange and blade momentum theory to calculate wind loads.

In this paper, the workability of flange in the radial extrusion is analyzed in terms of the deformation pattern, the punch load and the forming limit by using simulation and experiment. A single action pressing is applied to both simulation and experiment. The analysis in this study is focused on the transient extrusion into the gap in radial direction with various gap heights and die corner radius. Based on the surface strains where surface cracking occurs, the forming patterns and strain-fracture relationships in producing radially extruded flange are obtained.

The design strength of panel zones, which was based on Krawinkler model, was investigated by comparing it with existing test and FEM results. The design strength overestimates of the strength of panel zones with thick column flange while it matches well with the strength of panel zones with thin column flange. More extensive studies are needed to develop a mathematical model which can properly define the inelastic behavior of panel zones with various column flange thicknesses and to determine a more rational design strength.
