중대사고 해석 전산 코드 국산화의 필요성이 대두되고 있는 이때 우리가 개발해야 할 코드의 요건을 다음 여섯 가지로 정리하였다: 1) 종합적인 해석 코드. 2) 1차계통과 격납건물 모사 능력의 유연성, 3) 자세한 발전소 거동 모사, 4) 사용자 편의성, 5) 개선 및 새로운 모델 접목의 용이성. 그리소 6) 최신 모델 포함. 이런 관점에서 기존의 중대사고 해석코드를 분석한 결과 코드 개발의 기준 코드로 MELCOR를 선정하였다. MELCOR는 계통 모사의 유연성 때문에 상용 발전소 뿐만 아니라 앞으로 개발 계획 중인 차세대나 중소형 원자로까지도 확장이 가능하며, 상세한 열수력 기본 지배 방정식을 활용하고. 모델 분석 및 개선에 필요한 코드에의 자유로운 접근이 허용되며, 지속적인 코드 개선이 이루어져 최신 모델을 보유하고 있다. 이미 MELCOR는 상당한 수준의 결과를 예측하고 있기만. 노심 손상 모델을 개선하고 격납건물 안에서의 주요 현상 모사 모델을 추가하며. 또한 국내에서 이루어지고 있는 SONATA 실험이나 증기 폭발 실험 결과들을 MELCOR에 반영하는 것이 가급적 짧은 시간에 기술 자립을 이를 수 있는 방법으로 판단된다.

This study aims to investigate the residual strength of sandwich composites with Al honeycomb core and carbon fiber face sheets after the quasi-static indentation damage by the experimental investigation. The 3-point bending test and the edge-wise compressive strength test were used to find the mechanical properties, and the quasi-static point load was applied to introduce the simulated damage on the specimen. The damaged specimens were finally assessed by the 3-point bending test and the compressive strength test. The investigation results revealed the residual strength of the damaged specimens due to the quasi-static indentation. The both test results showed that the residual strength of the damaged specimen was decreased according to increases of the damaged depth.

Prediction of damage caused by low-velocity impact in laminated composite plate is an important problem faced by designers using composites. Not only the inplane stresses but also the interlaminar normal and shear stresses playa role in estimating the damage caused. But it is well known that the conventional approach based on the homogenization has the limit in description of damage. The work reported here is an effort in getting better predictions of dynamic behavior and damage in composite plate using DNS approach. In the DNS model, we discretize the composite plates through separate modeling of fiber and matrix for the local microscopic analysis. In the view of microscopic mechanics with DNS model, interlaminar stress behaviors in the inside of composite materials are investigated and compared with the results of the homogenized model which has been used in the conventional approach to impact analysis. Also the multiscale model based on DNS concept is developed in order to enhance the effectiveness of impact analysis, and we present the results of multiscale analysis considering micro and macro structures simultaneously.

현재 개발 중에 있는 비파괴 검사법인 Tapping Sound Analysis 의 검증을 위해 실험으로 측정된 타격음(태핑음)과 수치해석으로 구한 타격음을 비교하였다. 손상이 없는 복합재료 구조물과 손상이 있는 복합재료 구조물을 제작하고 타격 실험을 통해 타격음과 타격력을 측정하였다. 타격음의 수치 모사를 위해 동적접촉 알고리듬을 이용한 유한요소법과 경계요소법을 이용하였다. Wavelet packet transform에 근거한 특성 추출법을 이용하여 타격음으로부터 손상 판단을 위한 특성을 추출하였다. 손상이 없는 구조물과 손상이 있는 구조물의 특성을 비교하기 위해, 특성 지수를 정의하였다. 실험 결과와 수치해석 결과의 비교를 통해 타격음 계산에 사용된 수치모델의 타당성을 밝혔다.

구조물의 손상을 평가하기 위한 적용되는 태핑 테스트를 효과적이고, 정확하게 사용하기 위하여 적층판의 충격 시 발생하는 현상을 수치적인 방법을 이용하여 해석하였다. 구조물의 진동에 의해 방사되는 음은 구조물의 거동과 직접적으로 연관되므로 충격응답해석이 수행되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 층간분리가 존재하는 적층판의 해석을 위하여 층간분리 모델을 사용하였으며, 해머 형상의 충격체를 모사할 수 있는 효과적인 스프링-질량모델을 제시하였다. 또한 태핑 테스트 시 방사되는 음압을 Rayleigh 적분식을 이용하여 해석하였다. 예측된 음압이력과 시험결과와 비교하였으며, 음압이력과 충격하중이력에 손상이 주는 영향을 검토하였다. 방사되는 음압과 충격하중이력은 적층판에 존재하는 손상에 영향을 받는 것을 보였다. 결과적으로 제안된 음을 이용한 태핑실험은 복합재에 존재하는 손상을 검출하는데 신뢰성 있는 방법임을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, repair and maintenance schemes of the damaged composite structure was investigated, and a repair process of the carbon/epoxy laminate composite structure was investigated numerically and experimentally. The composite laminates were damaged by drop weight type impact test machine. The damaged composite structure was repaired using external patch repair method after removing damaged area. The compressive strength test and analysis results after repairing the impact damaged specimens were compared with the compressive strength test and analysis results of undamaged specimens and impact damaged specimens. Finally, the strength recovery capability by repairing were investigated.

A series of experimental tests have been performed on a tube beam in which artificial damage is applied in order to address damage detectability using modal analysis. Modal parameters considered are frequency, displacement mode shape and strain mode shape CoMAC(Coordinate Modal Assurance Criterion) and Modal Vector Error have been adopted for presenting the change of displacement mode shape and strain mode shape. It is revealed strain mode shape is the most sensitive to damage.

The baseline distribution of a structure represents the statistical distribution of dynamic response feature from the healthy state of the structure. Generally, damage-sensitive dynamic response feature of a structure manifest themselves near the tail of a baseline statistical distribution. In this regard, some researchers have paid attention to extreme value distribution for modeling the tail of a baseline distribution. However, few researches have been conducted to theoretically understand the extreme value distribution from a perspective of statistical damage assessment. This study investigates the asymptotic convergence of domain of attraction in extreme value distribution through parameter estimation, which is needed for reliable statistical damage assessment. In particular, the asymptotic convergence of a domain of attraction is quantified with respect to the sample size out of which each extreme value is extracted. The effect of the sample size on false positive alarms in statistical damage assessment is quantitatively investigated as well. The validity of the proposed method is demonstrated through numerically simulated acceleration data on a two span continuous truss bridge.

Modal parameters including resonant frequencies and mode shapes are heavily utililized in most damage identification throries for structural health monitoring. However, extracting modal parameters from dynamic responses needs postprocessing which inevitably involves errors in curve-fitting resonants as well as transforming the domain of responses. In this paper, the applicability of a damage identification method based on free vibration responses to the in-sevice responses is experimentally verified. The experiment is performed via applying periodic and nonperiodic moving loads to a simply supported beam and displacement responses are measured. The moving load is simulated using steel balls and a downhill device. The damage identification results show that the in-service response may be applicable to identifying damage in the beam.

In this study, the rheological models were introduced and developed to reflect rate dependent tensile behaviour of concrete. In general, mechanical properties(e.g. strength, elasticity, and fracture energy) of concrete are increased under high loading rates. The strength of concrete shows high rate dependency among its mechanical properties, and the tensile strength has higher rate dependency than the compressional strength. To simulate the rate dependency of concrete, original spring set of RBSN(Rigid-Body- Spring-Network) model was adjusted with viscous and friction units(e.g. dashpot and Coulomb friction component). Three types of models( 1) visco-elastic, 2) visco-plastic, and 3) visco-elasto- plastic damage models) are considered, and the constitutive relationships for the models are derived. For validation purpose, direct tensile test were simulated, and characteristics of the three different rheological models were compared with experimental stress-strain responses. Simulation result of the developed visco-elasto-plastic damage(VEPD) model demonstrated well describing and fitting with experimental results.
