This paper describes multi-scale based ductile fracture simulation using finite element (FE) damage analysis. The maximum and crack initiation loads of cracked components were predicted using proposed virtual testing method. To apply the local approach criteria for ductile fracture, stress-modified fracture strain model was adopted as the damage criteria with modified calibration technique that only requires tensile and fracture toughness test data. Element-size-dependent critical damage model is also introduced to apply the proposed ductile fracture simulation to large-scale components. The results of the simulation were compared with those of the tests on SA333 Gr. 6 full-scale pipes at $288^{\circ}C$, performed by the Battelle Memorial Institute.

Flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC) is a well-known phenomenon that may occur in piping and components. Most nuclear power plants have carbon-steel-pipe wall-thinning management programs in place to control FAC. However, various other erosion mechanisms may also occur in carbon-steel piping. The most common forms of erosion encountered (cavitation, flashing, Liquid Droplet Impingement Erosion (LDIE), and Solid Particle Erosion (SPE)), have caused wall thinning, leaks, and ruptures, and have resulted in unplanned shutdowns in utilities. In particular, the damage caused by LDIE is difficult to predict, and there has been no effort to protect piping from erosive damage. This paper presents an evaluation method for LDIE. It also includes the calculation results from prediction models, a review of the experimental results, and a comparison between the UT data in the damaged components and the results of the calculations and experiments.

지구온난화에 따른 전 세계적 급격한 기후변화로 인하여 자연재해가 발생하고 있으며, 우리나라에서도 매년 태풍을 동반한 집중호우로 지역별 피해가 속출하는 등 자연재해로 인한 많은 인명피해와 경제적 비용의 부담률이 증가하고 있다. 국민안전처에서 발간한 재해연보에 의하면 10년간 전체 종목 중 공공시설물들의 피해액이 매년 비교적 가장 높은 비율을 보이고 있으며, 공공시설물중에서도 하천과 소하천의 피해가 최근 5년(2010~2014년)간 평균 32.91%로 피해율이 가장 높았다. 국외에서는 미국(HAZUS-MH), 일본(피해경제조사메뉴얼), 영국(MCM) 등 공공자산의 홍수피해 예측방법을 개발하여 각 국가의 특성에 맞는 재난손실에 대한 추정을 실시하고 있지만, 우리나라에서는 이러한 방법론적 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라의 자연재해로 발생한 피해의 규모와 이에 따른 경제적 피해를 예측하기 위해 피해율과 피해액 추정 기술을 개발하였다. 미국의 HAZUS-MH와 피해복구지침, 새주소 시스템 DB, 건축법 내 용도별 건축물 종류 등을 활용하여 국내 공공자산 인벤토리(안)을 제시하고 이 중 소하천에 대한 2010~2014년 5개년의 국가재난관리시스템(NDMS) 재해 자료를 기반으로 지역적 특성을 고려한 손상함수를 개발하였다. 함수개발은 강원도 일부 시군에 대해 실시하였으며, 과거 피해자료를 대상으로 검증하였다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 시군단위의 재해로 인한 소하천 피해 정도를 산정하고 한국형 피해예측시스템 개발에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In performing a risk analysis of structures under earthquakes, it is imperative to identify the vulnerability of structures associated with various damage stages considering structural properties, soil-structure interactions, site condition, and so on. In this paper, the method to derive a representative fragility curve of seismic isolated LRB(lead rubber bearing) bridges is proposed. In which, the curve is assumed log-normally distribution with two parameters. The risk analysis of seismic isolated LRB bridges considering earthquake effects such as PGA, PGV, SA, SV, and SI is also performed to assure the earthquake resisting capability of the structures. An practical way for constructing the representative fragility curves is also recommended combining fragility curves of structures.

해저면에 설치되 있는 기름 송유관에 손상이 생겨, 송유관 내부에 흐르는 기름이 유출 될경우 엄청난 환경오염 및 재난을 발생시킨다. 해저 송유관 손상에 의한 기름유출 원인은 여러가지 경우에 기인한다. 선박의 바닥이 해저면에 끌려 해저 송유관을 손상시키는 경우, 선박의 엥커에 의해 손상되는 경우, 지진에 의해 좌굴되는 경우, 자유 경간 (Free span)에 의해 좌굴 되는 경우, 송유관 수리 시 사고로 인한 유출, 송유관의 부식에 기인한 유출 등으로 나누어 질 수 있다. 어떠한 경우이든 해저 파이프 손상시, 유출된 기름의 양을 예측하고 그에 따른 적절한 대비가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 1차 유출 및 2차 유출을 정의하여 각각의 경우에 유출량 해석 이론을 소개하였다. 또한 이 이론을 실제 경우에 응용하여 해저 송유관 손상에 의해 방출되는 기름량을 손상면적에 따라 계산하였고, 최대 유출량 산출 법을 적용하여 손상 위치에 따른 부분별 유출량 계산법을 소개하였다.

The present study attempts to develop the theoretical model for the damage estimation of offshore tubular members which are subjected to the accidental impact loads due to collision, falling objects and so on. For the reasons of the simplicity of the problem being considered, however, this paper postulates that the accidental load can be approximated to be the quasi-static one, in which dynamic effects are negelcted. Based upon the theoretical and experimental results which are obtained from the present study as well as the existing literature, the load-displacement relations taking the interaction effect between the local denting and the global bending deformation into account are presented in the explicit form when the concentrated lateral load acts on the tubular member whose end condition is supposed to be rotation ally free and axially restrained, in which membrane forces develop. Thus, the practical estimation of damage deformation for the local denting and the global bending damage of tubular members against the accidental loads is possible and also the collision absorption capability of the member can be calculated by performing the integration of the area below the given load-displacement curves, provided that all the energy is dissipated to the deforming the member itself.

Fog is atmospheric in which tiny drops of water vapor are suspended in the air near the ground. Its form, occurrence, etc., change according to the temperature, relative humidity, wind and geographical features of the space around it. In particular, fog tends to occur near a source of water because of temperature and relative humidity difference. These days, climate change is increasingly affecting the occurrence of fog. Therefore the purpose of this study was to investigate how fog affects materials that are part of our cultural properties through outdoor exposure tests and artificial degradation. The degradation evaluation of materials as a function of fog occurrence frequency, showed that the color of metals changed noticeably, whereas dyed silk and Dancheong showed degradation on the surface and color differences but no particular tendencies. Therefore, damage prediction by color differences as a function of fog occurrence frequency was based on metal samples, which showed constant color differences. Through a comparison of the predictive value and color difference by outdoor exposure, the accuracy and applicability of the damage prediction formula was confirmed. If a more complex damage prediction formula is created, it is expected that prediction of the degree of material damage in the field would be possible.

Because the attenuation of AE signal in composite materials is relatively higher than that of metallic materials, it is required to develop a damage assessment technique less affected by the attenuation property of composite materials in order to use AE sensing as a damage detection method. In the signal processing procedure, it is profitable to use the leading wave that arrives first because the leading wave is less influenced by the boundary conditions. Using wavelet transform, we investigated the frequency characteristics of impact induced AE signals focused on the leading wave in advance and chose the key factors to discriminate the damaged condition quantitatively. In this research, we established a damage assessment technique using the sharing percentage of the wavelet detail components of AE signal, and conducted a low-velocity impact test on composite laminates to confirm the feasibility of the proposed signal processing method.

In this study, low velocity impact analysis on Turbo Fan Engine composite sandwich structure was performed. Sandwich structure configuration is made of carbon/epoxy face sheets and foam cores. For validating study, the results of an experimental and of a Finite Element Method analysis were compared previously. From the Finite Element Method analysis results of sandwich panel, it was confirmed that the result of analysis was reasonable. Impactor velocity to initiate damage was estimated, and in order to investigate the damage at the predicted velocity, impact analysis using Finite Element Method was performed. According to the impact analysis results of sandwich panel, it was confirmed that the damage was generated at the estimated impact velocity.

A constitutive model based on a combination of a micromechanics-based weakened interface elastic model (Lee and Pyo, 2007) and a crack nucleation model (Karihaloo and Fu, 1989) is proposed to predict the effective elastic behavior of particle-reinforced composites. The model specifically considers imperfect interfaces in particles and microcracks in the matrix. To exercise the proposed constitutive model and to investigate the influence of model parameters on the behavior of the composites, numerical simulations on uniaxial tension tests were conducted. Furthermore, the present prediction is compared with available experimental data in the literature to verify the accuracy of the proposed constitutive model.
