In crack growth life, uncertainties are caused by variance of geometry, applied loads and material properties. Therefore, the reliability estimation for these uncertainties is required to keep the robustness of calculated life. The stress intensity factors are the most important variable in crack growth life calculation, but its equation is hard to know for complex geometry, therefore they are processed by the finite element analysis which takes long time. In this paper, the response surface is considered to increase efficiency of the reliability analysis for crack growth life of a turbine wheel. The approximation model of the stress intensity factors is obtained by the regression analysis for FEA data and the response surface of crack growth life is generated for selected factors. The reliability analysis is operated by the Monte Carlo Simulation for the response surface. The results indicate that the response surface could reduce computations that need for reliability analysis for the turbine wheel, which is hard to derive stress intensity factor equation, successfully.

It is necessary to develop reliable but simple analytical models to predict the nonlinear response of reinforced concrete wall structures. In this study, experimental results on the cyclic reversed lateral behaviors of reinforced concrete shear wall assemblages are simulated analytically by using the wall, beam, and column models available in the PERFORM 3D program. Through the comparison of experimental and analytical results, the reliability and limitations of the analysis are evaluated. In addition, the information, which could not be obtained experimentally, such as the internal flow of force, the contribution of the flange walls, and the resisting mechanism of the walls with the contribution of the coupling beam, is provided.

A fracture or breakage of the concrete armor units in the primary cover layer of breakwaters is studied by using the reliability analysis which may be defined as the structural stability. The reliability function can be derived as a function of the angle of rotation that represents the rocking of armor units quantitatively. The relative influences of all of random variables related to the material and geometric properties on the fracture of armor units is analyzed in detail. In addition, the probability of failure for the fracture of individual armor unit can be evaluated as a function of the incident wave height. Finally, Bernoulli random process and the allowable fracture ratio may be introduced together in this paper, by which the probability of failure of a breakwater due to the fracture of armer units can be obtained straightforwardly. It is found that the probability of failure of a breakwater due to the fracture of armor units may be varied with the several allowable fracture ratios. Therefore, it should be necessary to consider the structural stability as well as the hydraulic stability for the design of breakwaters with multi-leg slender concrete armor units of large size under wave action in deep water.

에너지 관리시스템(EMS)은 전력계통 제어용 종합 자동화 설비로서 전력계통 운영의 효율성과 전력공급의 신뢰도 향상을 위해 운용되고 있다. EMS의 중요한 기능중 하나는 일련의 계통해석 애플리케이션들을 통해 전력계통의 상태를 해석하여 안전도를 감시하고 평가하는 것이다. 이러한 계통해석 애플리케이션들은 상호간에 데이터의 일관성을 유지하기 위해 하나의 동일한 전력계통모델을 사용하여야 하며, 주어진 시간에서 여러 개의 독립적인 기능이 순차적으로 실행하여 계통의 상태정보를 실시간으로 제공해야 하므로 데이터의 입출력이 매우 빠르게 이뤄질 수 있어야 한다. 따라서 이러한 실시간 애플리케이션이 요구하는 신뢰성과 성능을 만족하기 위해서는 공통 네트워크 모델 기반의 데이터베이스와 그에 맞게 애플리케이션을 위한 데이터 입출력 구조나 기능을 설계하여야 한다. 본 논문은 전력IT 국가전략과제로 개발 진행 중인 한국형 EMS(이하 K-EMS)의 계통해석 애플리케이션을 위한 데이터베이스의 구조와 애플리케이션을 구성하는 세부기능들의 구조를 이러한 관점에서 기술하고자 한다.

In this paper, a probability-based reliability analysis was proposed based on a finite element method-based random vibration analysis and serviceability limit state of structures. The limit state model defined for the study is a serviceability limit state in terms of the more realistic crack failure that might cause the emission of radioactive materials. The SAP V-2 is used for a three-dimensional finite element analysis of concrete containment structure, and the reliability analysis is carried out by modifying HRAS reliability analysis program for this study. In this study, the load factors for the design of reinforced concrete cointainment structures in Korea are proposed by considering appropriate load combination criteria for design, and the results are compared with the present ASME code. The proposed load factors were proved to be in accordance with a set of code performance objective and showed consistency in the limit state probability.

본 고에서는 설계자가 초기 설계시 적용할 수 있는 간이피로해석방법에 대하여 기술하였으며, 특히 선체의 각 구조상세에 대하여 산정된 응력집중계수를 이용하여 피로수명을 쉽게 평가할 수 있는 집중응력방법을 정립하였다. 이 집중응력방법을 사용하면 모든 구조상세에 대하여 한개의 S-N 선도를 적용하게 되므로 일관성 있는 피로상도해석을 수행할 수 있다. 또한 피로수명에 큰 영향을 미치는 파랑하중은 설계조건에 주어진 선급규칙에 따라 계산되어진다. 선체구조의 피로강도평가 기술은 계측, 실험, 해석 및 경험을 포함하는 광범위하고 포괄적이면서 정밀함을 요구하는 종합기술이지만 여기에는 많은 불확실성이 내포되어 있다. 따라서 이를 구명하고 모든 선체구조에 적용할 수 있는 신뢰성 있는 피로강도 평가기술을 개발하기 위하여는 실선계측을 통한 피로하중규명 선체구조에 적용할 수 있는 피로강도 Data base개발, 균열진전해석 등 많은 과제에 대한 집중적인 연구가 계속 수행되어야 한다.

A method for the determination of concrete armor unit weights with hydraulic stability and structural stability may be formulated in this paper. The hydraulic stability is analyzed by using Hudson's formula, the structural stability is also studied by evaluation of maximum flexural tensile stresses in armor unit induced by the impact loads and by comparison of those with the tensile resistance strength directly. The applicable criteria for concrete armor units can be represented as a function of design wave heights with return period, armor weights, and tensile strengths for the practical uses. In addition, reliability analyses for two failure modes are carried out to take into account some uncertainties. Finally, a series system for two-failure mode analysis can be made up straightforwardly, by which the optimal weights of armor units can be estimated with the various relative breakages, given the specific target probability of failure under the concepts of reliability-based design method.

In this paper, another method for system reliability analysis, called the extended incremental load method, is introduced. The method is an extension of the conventional incremental load method and has been developed aiming at evaluating the probability of system failure(or system reliability) of continuous structures such as floating offshore structures under the multiple loading condition, more realistically considering the post-ultimate behaviour of failed components and directly using the strength formulae of principle components in a structure with employing the modified safety margin equation proposed herein in the system analysis. The method has been applied to the Hutton TLP operated in the Hutton field in the North Sea and a certain variant of the design using the TLP Rule Case Committee type improved strength models. System failure probability and corresponding system reliability indices are derived for a more economical and efficient design. The redundancy characteristics are also addressed. The TLP forms are shown to possess high reserve strength and system safety.
