용접 구조물에 대한 프로세스 제어를 위하여 매우 효과적인 수단이 될 수 있는 SYSWELD 소프트웨어의 이론적인 개념 및 응용 기술에 대하여 소개하였다. 전술한 바와 같이 SYSWELD는 일반적으로 알려져 있는 범용 열 및 구조해석 상용 Code와는 달리 야금학적 이론이 접목되므로써 이전에는 고려하기 곤란했던 제어 인자들에 대하여 보다 정확한 정보를 얻을 수 있기 때문에 용접 프로세스 분야에 매우 적합한 시뮬레이션 Code라고 판단된다. 이와 같이 수치해석 기술을 응용함으로써 연구기관에서는 제반 현상들에 대하여 실험적인 접근방법보다 보다 효과적으로 이해할 수 있게 되어 궁극적으로 이론적 발전 및 실용화를 이룰 수 있으며, 또한 산업체에서는 현업에서 발생하는 결함의 제어 및 구조물이나 프로세스의 최적 설계 방안을 수립하는 일이 가능하기 때문에, 현재 용접 분야에 대한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 응용 기술에 대하여 관심이 집중되고 있다. 이에 당사는 SYSWELD를 비롯하여 공학 분야의 유용한 상용 Code에대한 공급 및 기술 지원 뿐만 아니라 엔지니어링 능력을 갖추고 이와 같은 추세에 부응하고자 하는 노력중에 있는 바, 용접 시뮬레이션 응용 기술에 대한 현황을 소개하고자 하였으므로 참고가 되기를 바란다.

Several etching phenomena were observed and analyzed in diaphragm process performed on 4-inch (100) Si wafers for sensor application. In case of deep etching to above 300$\mu$m depth, the etch-defects appeared at etched surface could be classified into three categories such as hillocks, reaction products, and white residues. It was known that the hillock had a pyramidal shape or trapizoidal hexahedron structure depending on the density and size of the reaction products. The IR spectra showed that the white residue, which was due to the local over-saturation of Si dissolved in solution, was mostly Si-N-O compounds mixed with a small amount of H and C etc. Also, the difference in both the existence of etch-defects and etch rate distribution over a whole wafer was investigated when the etched surfaces were downward, upward horizontally and erective in etching solutions. The obtained data were analyzed through flow pattern in the etching bath. As the results, the downward and erective postures were favorable in the etch rate uniformity and the etch-defect removal, respectively.

The development of an integrated technology including fabrication of corrosion defect specimens and their practical use is needed to enhance the reliability of eddy current test for nuclear steam generator tubing. In this paper, the necessity and importance are presented from the viewpoint of the structural integrity, simulation specimens for real defects, and experiences from the destructive examination of pulled tubes. The models for several corrosion defects we also briefly introduced, with the scheme for their practical use.

Experimental results are presented for gate oxide degradation, such as SILC and soft breakdown, and its effect on device parameters under negative and positive bias stress conditions using n-MOSFET's with 3 nm gate oxide. The degradation mechanisms are highly dependent on stress conditions. For negative gate voltage, both interface and oxide bulk traps are found to dominate the reliability of gate oxide. However, for positive gate voltage, the degradation becomes dominated mainly by interface trap. It was also found the trap generation in the gate oxide film is related to the breakage of Si-H bonds through the deuterium anneal and additional hydrogen anneal experiments. Statistical parameter variations as well as the “OFF” leakage current depend on both electron- and hole-trapping. Our results therefore show that Si or O bond breakage by tunneling electron and hole can be another origin of the investigated gate oxide degradation. This plausible physical explanation is based on both Anode-Hole Injection and Hydrogen-Released model.

In Zone Melting Recrystallization(ZMR) of SOl structure, thin silicon films have been recrystallized by artificial control of beam intensity profile which was obtained by tilting of upper elliptical reflector. Temperature profiles and gradients near solidification interface were calculated by numerical simulation for analysis of asymmetric line heating effect. The larger the tilting angle of the upper reflector, the larger the degree of supercooling at liquid and the interdefect spacing in thin silicon films. Major defects were continuous subgrainboundaries. Isolated threading dislocations were observed in the case of the film having low defect density. We have found that the thin silicon films were recrystallized into (100) textured single crystals by cross-sectional TEM and thin film X-ray diffraction analysis.

Several improvements to the RELAP5/MOD3 reflood model hate been made. These improvement were made to correct deficiencies in the reflood model identified by the assessment of the RELAP5/MOD3 code against FLECHT-SEASET experiments. The improvements consist of modification of reflood wall heat transfer package and adjusting the droplet size in dispersed flow regime. The time smoothing of wall vaporization and level tracking of transition flow are also added to eliminate the pressure spikes and level oscillation during reflood process. Assessment of the improved model against FLECHT-SEASET experimental data and application of LBLOCA analysis for plant shows that the deficiencies have been corrected.

Neural networks are shown to be effective in being able to distinguish incomplete penetration-like weld defects by directly analyzing the plasma which is generated on each impingement of the laser on the materials. The performance is similar to that of existing methods based on extracted feature parameters. In each case around 93% of the defects in a database derived from 100 artificially produced defects of known types can be placed into one of two classes: incomplete penetration and bubbling. The present method based on classification using plasma is faster, and the speed is sufficient to allow on-line classification during data collection.

The dynamic behavior of CANDU nuclear fuel channel was analyzed by the use of 3-dimensional finite element method, under the various fault conditions such as a fault in the end fitting support and the removal/migration of the garter spring in the fuel channel, in order to predict the dynamic behavior for a degraded symptoms of CANDU nuclear fuel channel. Moreover, the frequency response analysis for possible fault conditions was also peformed considering the effects of the pressure tube vibration and flow-induced vibration by the coolant flow. From the analysis of the frequency responses, defects in the garter spring have influenced the changes of 2nd and 3rd modes and all the important modes are varied for the failure in the journal bearing in the end fitting body.

Since the Fukushima nuclear accident, several researchers are extensively studying the effect of torsion on the piping systems In nuclear power plants. Piping installations in power plants with a circumferential crack can be operated under combined loading conditions such as bending and torsion. ASME Code provides flaw evaluations for fully plastic fractures using limit load criteria for the structural integrity of the cracked pipes. According to the recent version of Code, combined loadings are provided only for the membrane and bending. Even though actual operating conditions have torsion loading, the methodology for evaluating torsion load is not established. This paper provides the results of limit load analyses by using finite element models for circumferentially cracked pipes under pure bending, pure torsion, and combined bending and torsion with tension. Theoretical limit load solutions based on net-section fully plastic criteria are suggested and verified with the results of finite element analyses.
