In this paper, the topology optimization of inner-wall stiffener of cylindrical containers for the use as a rocket fuel tank is presented. Such structures for space mission should have high stiffness against the buck]ins while their weight should be maintained low from the viewpoint of cost and performance. Therefore, in the present work the reciprocal of critical buckling load is adopted as an objective function and the total mass of stiffener is constrained to a prescribed value. Due to the restriction of computational resources a section of cylindrical container is topologically optimized and this result is repeated to obtain the full design. Also, for manufacturability the concept of periodic topology pattern in design domain is newly introduced. In the numerical examples, the results by the proposed approach are investigated and compared with those of isogrid design.

In this paper the method to evaluate shielding deficiency by gamma scanning test was presented and verified theoretically by Monte Carlo code which is one of the best effective method for radiation shielding calculation. The cylindrical shielding model was selected to evaluate shielding deficiency by gamma scanning test. First, the reference shielding according to the design requirement of cask was fabricated specially and reference values were measured with Co-60 source and scintillation detector. As a result with which calculated the reference values, it is shown that maximum deficiency thickness for lead of true cylindrical shielding model was 12mm. To verify this, thickness of lead was calculated by MCNP code and maximum deficiency thickness was 11.6mm. The experimental result obtained by the use of reference shielding was in good agreement with the theoretical result within 4.1%. So, this method can be applied to inspect the shielding ability for great shielding or cask which the radioactive material is used. To perform measurement more exactly, the further work on the development of measuring equipment to display the results on the screen will be required.

Composite materials have been widely applied for fabricating pressure vessels used for storing gaseous and liquid fuel because of their high specific stiffness and specific strength. Accordingly, the accurate measurement of their mechanical property, particularly the burst pressure or fracture strain, is essential prior to the commercial release. However, verification of the safety of composite pressure vessels using conventional test methods poses some limitations because it may lead to the deformation of the load transferring media or provoke an additional energy loss that cannot be ignored. Therefore, in this study, the segment-type ring burst test device was designed considering the theoretical load transferring ratio and applicable displacement of the vertical column. Moreover, to verifying the uniform distribution of pressure of the segment type ring burst test device, the hoop stress and strain distribution of ring specimens were compared with that of the hydraulic pressure test method via FEM. To conduct a simulation of the fracture behavior of the composite pressure vessel, a Hashin failure criterion was applied to the ring specimen. Furthermore, the fracture strain was also measured from the experiment and compared with that of the result from the FEM.

screw압축기는 진동이 적고, 소형이면도 그효율 유지가 용이하다는 특징을 가지고있으며, 왕복압축기와 같은 crank가 없고 원통형 밀폐용기 내에 암,수 로타가 서로 반대 방향으로 맞물려 회전하면서 로타홈과 케이싱 사이에 생기는 공간의 용적이 로타의 회전에 의해서 가스를 연속적으로 흡입, 압축, 배출하는 용적형압축기이다. 본 연구는 screw 압축기의 성능에 큰 영향을 미치는 로타의 치형함수의 기하학적성질 및 제한사항을 서술하였고, 로타의 형상이 특성값에 미치는 영향을 이론적으로 해석 하기 위하여, 임의의 치형을 갖는 로타를 만들고, 이것과 맞물리는 상대로타의 치형을 설계하여 seal line length와 blow hole area을 계산하였다.

As an integral part of the probabilistic fracture mechanics analysis, stress intensity factor calculation scheme for semi-elliptical surface flaws in thin-walled cylinder has been introduced. The approximation solution utilizes the influence coefficients to calculate the stress intensity factor at the crack tip. This method has been compared with other solution methods including 3-D finite element analysis for cooldown boundary condition. The analysis results confirmed that the simplified methods provided sufficiently accurate stress intensity factor values for axial semi-elliptcal flaws on the surface of the reactor pressure vessel.

Self-pressurization of cylindrical container of cryogen is numerically analyzed. The container is axi-symmetric and heated from side wall with constant heat flux. Natural convection by external heat flux is studied numerically using finite difference method. Oxygen, nytrogen and hydrogen are working fluids in this paper. Liquid is considered incompressible fluid and vapor is assumed to behave as gas meeting with virial equation of gas. The Second virial coefficients of gas are obtained from Lennard-jones model. The important variables which have effects on self-pressurization are external heat flux, heat capacity of wall and initial ullage in container. The most important variable of them is external heat flux. The pressure rise calculated from the virial gas model is slightly different from that calculated using Ideal gas model for oxygen.

일체형원자로는 노심, 증기발생기, 가압기, 펌프 등 1차측 주기기들을 하나의 압력용기 안에 모두 포함하고 있고 또 1차측 냉각재가 원자로 안에서만 순환하므로 기존의 분리 형에 비해 구조특성상 상당히 다른 설계개념이 필요하다. 본 연구에서 개발중에 있는 일체형 열병합원자로에서 채택한 설계개념은, 먼저 증기발생기는 많은 수의 전열관들이 나사선처럼 노심지지원통을 감고 올라가는 일체형 관류식 나선형을 사용하였으며, CEDM은 지진하중과 같은 동적하중에 의한 영향을 최소화하기 위하여 원자로용기 외부로의 돌출부분을 최소화하는 설계개념을 채택하였다. 또한 가압기는 별도의 부품없이 원자로용기 헤드의 빈공간을 활용한 자기가압방식으로 대체하였고 냉각재 펑프는 Canned Motor Pump를 원자로벽에 직접 부착하는 개념을 사용하였다. 본 논문에서는 예비개념설계된 일체형 신형원자로의 기계구조설계상의 특징들을 설명하고 앞으로의 연구방향을 간략히 소개한다.

In the engineering field, sloshing in rolling vessel is a hot issue because of the connection with ship stability problem. The sloshing phenomena also can be utilized in the field of structure or facility vibration damper. This paper explores the possibility which sloshing of multi-particles can be used to dissipate energy in a rolling container. This energy dissipation can be utilized to the application of rotating damper. Some of the parameters expected to dissipates energy, such as vessel size, particle size, mass fraction and ramp height, have been experimentally and theoretically studied.

일체형 원자로에는 노심지지원통과 원자로용기 내벽사이의 환형 공간을 나선으로 감는 형태인 일체형 관류식 나선형 증기발생기와 증기발생기를 여러 개의 모듈로 나누어 환형 공간에 배치하는 형태인 모듈형 관류식 직관형증기 발생기가 가장 적합한 것으로 판단되어 두 가지 형태에 대한 개념을 설정하였다. 일체형 관류식 나선형 증기발생기는 전열관 집합체, 지지구조물, 하강유로, 그리고 증기 및 급수 헤더로 구성되어 있다. 모듈형 관류식 직관형 증기발생기는 개개의 모듈이 별도로 운전될 수 있는 12개의 모듈로 구성되며, 원자로용기를 관통하는 배관의 수를 줄이기 위해서 급수관이 증기관의 안쪽에 있는이중배관 개념을 사용한 것이 특징이다. 모듈형 관류식 직관헝 증기발생기가설계 및 제작이 용이하지만 높이를 줄이기 위한 방안으로 두 가지 개념이 조합된 모듈형 관류식 나선형 증기발생기도 검토하였다.

In this paper, fluid movement of magnetic fluid which has free surface is investigated in a container subjected to a horizontal oscillation. Here, the vertical magnetic field is applied from the bottom of this container. The experiment is performed on the magnetic fluid in a rectangular and a cylindrical container and the effects of magnetic force exerted on the magnetic fluid are investigated on the resonance frequency and liquid surface displacement. The increase of magnetic field affects on the maximum resonance point and the liquid surface displacement. In result, it changes the amplitude of the surface wave and the period of sloshing fluid movement.
