Stress and fatigue of the distributor, an equipment of the high-pressure evaporator for the HRSG, were evaluated according to ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII Division 2. First, from the results of the piping system analysis model, reaction forces of the tubes connected to the distributor were derived and used as the nozzle load applied to the detailed analysis model of the distributor afterward. Next, the detailed model to analyze the distributor was constructed, the distributor being statically analyzed for the design condition with the steam pressure and the nozzle load. As a result, the maximum stress occurred at the bore of the horizontal nozzle, and the primary membrane stress at the shell and nozzle was found to be less than the allowable. Next, for the transient operating conditions given for the distributor, thermal analysis was performed and the structural analysis was carried out with the steam pressure, nozzle load, and thermal load. Under the transient conditions, the maximum stress occurred at the vertical downcomer nozzle, and of which fatigue life was evaluated. As a result, the cumulative usage factor was less than the allowable and hence the distributor was found to be safe from fatigue failure.

The live load effect of KL-510 of the current Korean bridge design code is examined by comparing with that of the multiple trucks of which the weights are statistically estimated from measured traffic data as well as with those of the related live load models. The truck weight data measured on the expressway before and after overweight enforcement are used to obtain the truck weights following the same procedures in deciding the live load model of the design codes and the results are compared with the load effect of KL-510. KL-510 yields a very uniform loading effect compared with the multiple truck effects when the weights are estimated from the data which contains some of the heavy trucks over the operational weight limit. KL-510 yields consistent results with the live load of AASHTO LRFD and shows less variation than the past load model DB-24 over the span lengths considered in this study. As a result of this research, the actual truck combinations equivalent to the notional KL-510 load model are constructed and it can be applied to the evaluation of the existing bridge and the calibration of the load factor of the permit vehicle.

A thermo-poro-elastic constitutive model of unidirectionally fiber-reinforced composite materials is suggested by extending the unmixing-mixing scheme which is based upon composite micromechanics. The strain components of thermal expansion due to a temperature change, gas pressure in pores, and chemical shrinkage are included in the constitutive model. On purpose to verify the derived constitutive relations, the representative volume element of two-dimensional lamina subject to various loading conditions is analyzed by the finite element method. The overall stress and strain responses are obtained, and compared with the predicted values by the unmixing-mixing scheme. The numerical results show the usefulness of the proposed model to predict the thermoelastic behavior of porous composites.

Shaker system is used to simulate the vibration from the launch environment. The vibration tests are performed in the vertical and lateral direction. For the lateral vibration test, the slip table system is used with shaker system. For the latest large satellite, vibration test adaptor is made of the steel. But slip table of lateral vibration is made of magnesium, so there is big difference of thermal expansion ratio between slip table and vibration test adaptor. This paper encompasses the following items; verification process of thermal characteristics and overturning moment and a solution for lateral vibration test with steel vibration test adaptor.

본 연구에서는 기상 자료와 적설 특성 자료의 관계를 도출하고, 이와 추계 일기 생성 모형을 활용하여 합성 적설심 시계열을 모의하는 방법에 대하여 제안한다. 추계 일기 생성 모형에서는 적설량을 직접 모의하지 않기 때문에 강수량을 적설량으로 변환해야한다. 이를 위해 도입한 관계식은 다음과 같다. 첫째로 기상청 적설 예보의 적설 유무 판단 기준을 이용하였다. 이 기준에서는 상대습도와 지상기온에 따라 강수의 형태를 비, 눈, 진눈깨비로 구분한다. 둘째로 강수가 적설로 판단되었을 때 강수량을 신적설심으로 환산하는 수상당량비를 지상기온과 회귀 분석하였다. 선행 연구에 따라 3시간 1 mm 이상 5 mm 이하 강수와 3시간 5 mm 이상 강수 사상에 대하여 나누어 sigmoid형 곡선을 이용하여 회귀 분석하였다. 마지막으로 융설에 의한 적설심 감소량을 지상기온과 복사량의 함수로 표현하였으며, 각 변수의 계수는 입자 군집 최적화 방법을 통하여 보정하였다. 추계 일기 생성 모형으로는 AWE-GEN 모형을 활용하였으며, 시험 자료로 강릉(105) 종관기상관측소의 24년 기간(1982-2005) 자료를 활용하여 합성 적설심 시계열을 생성하였다. 합성 적설심 시계열 모의 과정은 다음과 같다. (1) 추계 일기 생성 모형으로 합성 일기 자료 생성, (2) 강수 발생 시 적설 유무 판단, (3) 적설로 판단 시 수상당량비를 계산하여 신적설심 추정, (4) 기존 적설심에 신적설심을 더하고, 적설심 감소량만큼 감소. 위와 같은 과정으로 200년 길이 합성 적설심 시계열을 모의한 결과 극한 사상을 과소 추정하는 경향이 나타나 추가적인 개선이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

A turbine wheel undergoes high heat flux and centrifugal force when a gas turbine starts. The temperature and stress of the turbine wheel increase rapidly, and the time point and rate of them may not coincident. The difference of heating and rotating rates influences the life of turbine wheel. We conducted thermo-mechanical fatigue analysis with finite element methods to study the influence. The low acceleration and deceleration of the wheel extends the life. If the turbine wheel decelerate faster than cooling, the life increases.

The thermal postbuckling and vibration characteristics of cylindrical composite panel subject to thermal loads are analyzed using finite elements. The von-Karman nonlinear displacement-strain relation based on the layerwise theory is applied to consider large deflections due to thermal loads. Cylindrical arc-length method is used to take into account the snapping phenomena. Thermal snapping and vibration characteristics are investigated for various structural parameters such as thickness ratio, shallowness angle and boundary conditions. The present results show that thermal snapping changes the mode shapes as well as static deformations.

In this paper, the live load model for the design of high-speed railway bridge is analyzed by statistic and probabilistic methods and the safety level that is given by the load factors of the load combination is analyzed. This study is a part of the development of the limit state design method for the railway bridge, and the train data collected from the Gyeongbu high-speed railway for about one month are utilized. The four different statistical methods are applied to estimate the design load to match the bridge design life and the results are compared. In order to examine the safety level that the design load combination of the railway bridge gives, the reliability indexes are determined and the results are analyzed. The load effect from the current design live load for the high-speed rail bridge which is 0.75 times of the standard train load is came out greater than at least 30-22% that from the estimated load from the measured data. If it is judged based on the ultimate limit state, there is a possibility of additional reduction of the safety factors through the reliability analysis.

This study examines a method for identifying stiffness reductions in structures subjected to seismic loads and retrofitting effects using a combination of the finite element method and an advanced genetic algorithm. The novelty of this study is the application of seismic loading and its response to anomalies in the tested structure. The technique described in this study may enable not only detection of damaged elements but also the identification of their locations and the extent of damage due to seismic loading. To demonstrate the feasibility of the method, the advanced genetic algorithm is applied to frame and truss bridge structures subjected to El Centro and Pohang seismic loads. The results reveal the excellent computational efficiency of the method and its ability to prevent severe damage from earthquakes.

In this paper, the analysis of impact damage behavior of a reinforced concrete structure that undergoes both a shock impulsive loading and an impact loading due to the air blast induced from an explosion is performed. Firstly, a pair of multiple loadings are selected from the scenario that an imaginary explosion accident is assumed. The RC structures strengthened with advanced composite materials (ACM) are considered as a scheme for retrofitting RC wall structures subjected to multiple explosive loadings and then the evaluation of the resistant performance against them is presented in comparison with the result of the evaluation of a RC structure without a retrofit. Also, in order to derive the result of the analysis similar to that of real explosion experiments, which require the vast investment and expense for facilities, the constitutive equation and the equation of state (EOS) which can describe the real impact and shock phenomena accurately are included with them. In addition, the numerical simulations of two concrete structures are achieved using AUTODYN-3D, an explicit analysis program, in order to prove the retrofit performance of a ACM-strengthened RC wall structure.
