This paper presents the strength safety of stress and deformation behaviors using the finite element method as a function of the thickness of the protective helmets with and without an extruder on the top of the shell structure. The helmet that would provide head and neck protections without causing discomfort to the user when it was worn for long periods of time should be manufactured for increasing the safety and impact energy absorption. The stress analyzed results show that when the impulsive force of 4,540N is applied on the top surface of a helmet, the safe thickness is 3.7mm for the conventional helmet and 3.2mm for the modified new helmet. Based on the deformation analysis, the FEM results recommend that the safe thickness is 3.2mm for the conventional helmet and 2.0mm for the modified new helmet. Thus, it may be more safe design of the helmet, which has an extruded structure on the summit surface of the helmet.

A structural system reliability analysis is studied for the safety assessment of midship section. Probabilistically dominant collapse modes are generated by Element Replacement Method and Incrimental Load Method. In order to avoid generating the same modes repeatedly, it is branched at final plastic hinge. Using first and second order bound methods, system failure probability of midship section is computed and compared with deterministic load factor method to show the usefulness of the proposed method.

This study carried out three-dimensional finite element analysis and structural safety evaluation of attachable roadside barriers. The effects of diaphragm distance and the number of bolts on displacements and maximum stresses for various parameters are studied using the LS-DYNA finite element program for this study. In this study, the existing finite element analysis of barriers using the LS-DYNA program is further extended to study static behaviors and structural safety of the barrier with module structures connected by anchor bolt inserted through concrete bridge decks. The numerical results for six parameters are verified by comparing different models with displacements and stress distribution occurred in the barrier and shows good structural performance.

This paper describes structural safety assessment techniques against crygenic temperature to design MRV type B LNG tank system. The following items are detail with in detail. (1) Leakage estimation of LNG through the propagating clacks at tank plate was performed and design of the range of catch basin(2ndary barrier) was followed to ensure the safety of ship structures against leaked LNG. (2) Temperature distribution analysis for cargo hold and skirt system was carried out using the steady state heat transfer analysis model for spherical LNG tank system. (3) Thermal stress distribution of skirt and tank system was calculated, where very stiff thermal variation was shwn through item(2) analysis.

The reliability analysis for web frame of tanker is carried out by the probabilistic finite element method combined with the classical reliability method such as MVFOSM and AFOSM which can be used for calculating the probability of failure for the complicated structures in which the limit state equation is implicitly expressed. As random variables external load, elastic modulus, sectional moment of inertia and field stress are chosen and Parkinson's iteration algorithm in AFOSM is used for reliability analysis. By adding only the covariance data of the random variables to the input data set required for conventional finite element method, the present method can easily calculate the probability of failure at every element end as well as the covariances of structural reponses such as displacements at every element end and member forces at every element, even for the complicated ship structure.

Considering the effect by uncertainty in the structures, it is reasonable that the safety examination has to be performed by using method of reliability evaluation. Therefore, in this study, program is developed which can perform the reliability analysis or the dynamic response analysis more efficiently by formularizing the stochastic finite element analysis suitable for the existing reliability analysis about the cable stayed bridge suffering the seismic loads. Based on this program, the characteristic of dynamic responses is analyzed quantitatively by examining the average, the standard deviation and the coefficient of variance about the displacement, the resistance and the tension of cable according to the random variables. and the safety of cable stayed bridge is evaluated by examining of reliability index and failure probability

The Bird strike to small aircraft has not been an issue because of it's low speed and usage as a private aircraft. So, the compliance of the bird strike regulation is limited to large fixed-wing aircraft such as the commuter category in FAR Part 23 and the civil aircraft in FAR Part 25, generally. However, the forecast of dramatic increasing of VLJ(Very Light Jet) and (light time of general aviation due to Air-taxi for the point to point transportation, would rise up the need of bird strike regulations and a safety enhancement in normal and utility categorized aircraft. In this study, the safety enhancement concept using a crushable foam for the bird strike to small aircraft wing leading edge, and the evaluation about the safety of the bird strike to small aircraft are proposed using the explicit finite element analysis.

지금까지 수공구조물의 설계와 기존 시설의 안전도를 평가시 수문, 수리 및 경제학적 함수들에서 발생하는 불확실성을 설명하기 위하여 안전율 또는 여유고를 증가시키거나 이들 정보의 양과 질을 증가시켜 데이터베이스를 확장하고 측정오차를 최소화시키며, 전통적인 통계해석을 적용하였다. 공공의 안전을 확보하기 위하여 설계과정에 안전율 또는 여유고가 도입되었으나 이것은 단순히 보다 높은 재현기간의 적용을 의미하며, 수문현상이 가지는 추계학적 특성보다 확정론적인 근거로부터 안전설계 개념이 개발되었다. 수자원 계획시 고려되는 부하와 저항은 확정론적인 고정치가 아니라 시간에 따라 변하고 동적이며, 무작위적이므로 확률 변수로서 고려되어야 한다. 이에 따라 최근 수자원 계획과정에서 불확실성 해석에 의한 위험도 분석 개념이 도입되고 있으며, 특히 이상기후 및 집중호우의 빈발, 급격한 도시화로 인한 유출양상의 변화 등으로 급증하고 있는 훙수피해를 감안할 때 설계빈도의 상향조정과 같은 확정론적인 방법보다는 매개변수 또는 함수의 불확실성을 고려한 위험도 해석의 필요성이 더욱 증대되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 수자원 계획시 입력자료 및 매개변수의 불확실성과 불확실성의 분리를 고려한 홍수량의 산정 및 각 매개변수의 영향을 평가하여 홍수위험도 해석에 있어서 모델 매개변수의 영향 규명과 처리방안을 제시하고자 한다.

In this paper, a complementary analysis for the structural safety evaluation of the spent nuclear fuel disposal canister developed for the Canadian Deuterium and Uranium(CANDU) reactor for about 10,000 years long term deposition at a 500m deep granitic bedrock repository has been performed. However this developed structural model of the spent nuclear fuel disposal canister which has 33 spent nuclear fuel baskets and whose diameter is 122cm is too heavy to handle without any structural safety problem. Hence a lighter structural model of the spent nuclear fuel disposal canister which is easy to handle has been required to develop very much. There are two methods to reduce the weight of the CANDU canister model. The one is to alleviate severe design conditions such as external loads and safety factor. The other is to optimize the cross section shape of the canister by reducing the spent nuclear fuel basket number. Hence, in this paper a complementary analysis to alleviate such severe design conditions is carried out and simultaneously structural analyses to optimize the cross section shape of the canister by reducing the spent nuclear fuel basket number below 33 are carried out by varying the external load and the canister diameter for the reduction of the canister weight. The complementary analysis results show that the diameter of canister can be shortened below 122cm to reduce the weight of the spent nuclear fuel disposal canister.

절리가 발달한 암반사면의 경우, 토사사면의 안전율 평가를 위해 널리 이용되는 한계평형법을 이용한 해석법은 파괴 활동면을 가장할 수 없기 때문에 사용이 곤란하다. 한편, 비등방 탄소성 모델(편재절리모델)을 사용하여 2조의 절리군을 가진 암반사면의 안전율을 계산할 수 있는 방법이 개발되었지만, 이 방법은 개별절리를 효과적으로 고려하지 못한다. 본 연구에서는 개별절리를 고려한 불연속체 해석에 의한 암반사면의 안정성 해석시 사면의 안전율을 평가하는 기법을 개발하였다. 이를 위해, 절리 전단강도 감소기법을 적용하였으며, UEDC의 내장 언어인 FISH를 사용하여 프로그램을 개발하였다. 또한 실제 절리 암반사면을 대상으로 절리를 측정하고, 개발된 기법에 의한 사면의 안전율을 구하였으며, 동일한 사면에 대해 등가연속체로 가정한 편재절리모델 해석을 수행하여 결과를 비교하였다.
