도시가스용 배관으로 사용하고 있는 폴리에틸렌 배관은 유연하여 시공이 용이할 뿐만 아니라 부식 및 전식이 일어나지 않아 유지관리가 편리하고 교체 없이 50년 이상 사용이 가능하여 금속 소재에 비하여 경제적이기 때문에 그 사용량이 증가하고 있다. 그러나 차량의 증가 등으로 인하여 매설된 배관에 많은 응력이 집중되고 있다. 따라서 토하중 뿐만 아니라 증가한 차량 등에 의한 하중이 복합적으로 작용할 경우에 매설된 배관이 어느 정도의 응력을 받고 있는지를 검토하고자 하였다. 직경이 $50{\sim}400mm$인 배관을 대상으로 매설깊이를 $0.6{\sim}1.2m$로 변화시키고 사용압력을 $0.4{\sim}4bar$로 변화시켜 그 결과를 검토하였다. 결과는 수식해와 유한요소 해석 방법을 이용하여 계산하였으며 두 결과를 비교하여 유한요소 해석 방법의 신뢰성을 높였다. 두 해석방법 모두 내압에 의한 영향, 토양하중에 의한 영향 그리고 차량 하중에 의한 영향을 각각 계산하였다. 그리고 각 하중이 복합적으로 작용할 경우에 대한 응력을 계산하여 매설 깊이에 따라 배관에 발생하는 응력을 계산하였다. 또한 가스배관 설계에 사용하는 허용응력을 4가지로 구분하여 발생한 응력과 비교하여 그 안전성을 검토하였다. 수식해와 유한요소 해석 결과를 비교하여 각각의 결과를 검증한 결과 수식해가 유한요소 결과보다 약간 높은 응력값을 나타내었으며 내압, 토하중, 차량하중 등이 복합적으로 작용할 경우에 매설깊이가 1m일 때 가장 낮은 원주방향응력이 발생하였다.

파단전 누수균열을 일으키는 가장 주요한 파손 형태는 피로파손으로 사료되어, 하나로 일차냉각계통 배관의 피로파손 가능성에 대한 정량적인 해석을 수행하였다. 하나로 일차냉각계통 배관은 발전로에 비해 저온, 저압이므로 ASME Class 3 로 분류되어 설계 완료되었지만 Class 3 절차에 의해서는 피로해석을 구체적으로 수행할 수 없어, 본 연구의 피로해석에 서는 Class 1 절차에 따라 피크응력강도의 범위를 보수적으로 계산하여 피로누적계수를 산정하였다. 일차냉각계통 배관 중에서 피로파괴 가능성이 가장 큰 것으로 예상되는 고응력 지점을 배관응력해석 결과로부터 선택하여 피로해석을 수행하였다. 선택된 분기관 연결부, 앵커 지점 및 butt 용접부의 피로누적계수들이 모두 1 보다 훨씬 작았으므로 열평창과 OBE 지진하중으로 인한 일차냉각계통 배관의 피로파손 가능성은 매우 희박한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 냉각재 상실시 파단전 누수균열 개념을 적용하기 위한 일차냉각계통 배관의 피로파손에 대한 배관의 건전성은 충분히 입증된 것으로 판단된다.

In the plants operated under high temperature condition, piping system load analysis is often performed to prevent accidents caused by thermal deformation and also to locate inspection prioritity points of the piping system. In this study, piping system stress analysis was performed for a pipe system between the reactors in a process plant. The piping system includes typically installed hangers and expansion joints. In order to evaluate the effects of structural components such as hangers and expansion joints, the case for the expansion joint or the hanger under abnormal operation is considered. By comparison anlaysis results of piping system during normal operation and abnormal operation, the role of each pipe components are studied.

A finite element analysis of a trunnion pipe anchor is presented. The structure is analyzed for the case of internal pressure and moment loadings. The stress results are categorized into the average (membrance) and the linearly varying(bending) stresses through the thickness. The resulting stresses are interpreted per Section III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code from which the Primary (B/sub 1/) and Secondary(C/sub 1/) stress indices for pressure, the Primary(B/sub 2R/, B/sub 2T/) and Secondary(C/sub 2R/, C/sub 2T/) stress indices for moment are developed. Several analyses were performed for various structural geometries in order to obtain empirical representation for the stress indices in terms of dimensionless ratios.

A finite element analysis of a trunnion pipe anchor is presented. The structure is analyzed for the case of internal pressure and moment loadings. The stress results are categorized as average and linearly varying(through the thickness) stresses. The resulting stresses are interpreted per Section 111 of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code from which the Primary(B$_1$) and Secondary(C$_1$) stress indices for pressure, the Primary(B$_2$) and Secondary(C$_2$) stress indices for moment are developed. Several analysis were peformed on various structural geometries in order to determine empirical relationships for the stress indices as a function of dimensionless ratios.

While they are becoming more viable, synthetic natural gas (SNG) plants, with their high temperatures and pressures, are still heavily dependent on advancements in the state-of-the-art technologies. However, most of the current work in the literature is focused on optimizing chemical processes and process variables, with little work being done on relevant mechanical damage and maintenance engineering. In this study, a combination of pipe system stress analysis and detailed local stress analysis was implemented to prioritize the inspection locations for main pipes of SNG plant in accordance to ASME B31.3. A pipe system stress analysis was conducted for pre-selecting critical locations by considering design condition and actual operating conditions such as heat-up and cool-down. Identified critical locations were further analyzed using a finite element method to locate specific high-stress points. Resultant stress values met ASME B31.3 code standards for the gasification reactor and lower transition piece (bend Y in Fig.1); however, it is recommended that the vertical displacement of bend Y be restricted more. The results presented here provide valuable information for future risk based maintenance inspection and further safe operation considerations.

If there are some construction works that affect the stability of buried pipelines, the pipelines should be moved to guarantee their safety. In this paper, modeling methods for analyzing the movement of pipelines were sought, and the step-by-step stress estimation method of moving pipelines was developed. Some factors affecting of pipeline response such as the element type, the element size, boundary modeling, and geometric non-linearity were quantitatively investigated. In addition, some conditions in which accuracy and effectiveness can be compromised in the analysis of long pipelines were identified. A neural network was used to estimate the pipeline stress. The inputs to the neural network included step-by-step displacements, and the output was the resulting stress at each movement step. After training the neural network, it can be used to estimate pipeline stresses at some sub-steps that are not included in the training. A Windows-based stress estimation program was developed.

In this paper, the structural analysis of the Geostationary Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite-2 (GEO-KOMPSAT-2) tubing system is discussed, and the structural integrity of the tubing system is assessed by comparative analysis with the results of overseas partner AIRBUS. Securing structural reliability of the tubing system is a very important key element of the propulsion system of the GEO-KOMPSAT-2 satellite. Therefore, FE modeling of the propulsion tubing was carried out directly using the CAE program, and structural analysis was performed to evaluate the stress state under launch conditions. Hoop stress, axial stress, bending stress, and torsion stress were calculated according to diverse load conditions by using pressure stress analysis, thruster alignment analysis, sine qualification load analysis, and random qualification load analysis. From the results, the Margin of Safety (MoS) of the tubing system is evaluated, and we can verify the structural integrity of the tubing system when subjected to various launch loads.

In the present study, a Cook Book method and a Static System Analysis method were compared with each other on the basis of a seismic design criteria of fire-fighting facilities and analyzed. The Cook Book method is analyzed by dividing a pipeline in each same section. In this method, a stress analysis is not possible except for the section analyzed in such a way that a brace is designed according to the weight of pipe, water and pipe fitting. To the contrary, in case of the Static System Analysis method, the stress analysis for the whole pipeline can be performed because the whole pipeline is regarded as a single structure. For the fatal stress values locally generated, it is necessary to actively perform a pipeline analysis by installing a device capable of locally relieving the stress of the pipeline. In Korea, only the Cook Book method is provided as the seismic design criteria of fire-fighting facilities, which causes many problems with diversification of seismic design. Thus, it is necessary to apply the seismic design method of the pipeline by using various kinds of engineered Static System Analysis methods.
