A safety relief valve is a device that relieves excessive pressure in piping lines or tanks and maintains pressure at the appropriate pressure level for use. The (pressure in the) safety valve is directly influenced by the change in the back pressure, depending on whether the vents in the spring bonnet are vented to the atmosphere or to the outlet. The back pressure is divided into the built-up back pressure and the superimposed back pressure, and the back pressure characteristics vary according to the usage conditions. The safety valve used in this study is a Conventional Safety Relief Valve. The blowdown of the safety valve is predicted by establishing the equilibrium equation between the opening force and spring force considering the back pressure characteristics. Its reliability is secured by using CFX17.1. In addition, the safety of the safety valve trim was examined through fluid-structure interaction analysis.

A cryogenic butterfly valve is used to transfer the liquefied natural gas (LNG) which temperature is $-162^{\circ}C$. This valve is core part in the piping system using LNG. This paper performed coupling analysis using FEM to evaluate safety of cryogenic butterfly valve. Flow analysis is calculated numerically the CAE and CFD methods are useful to predict the thermal matter and the inner flow field of the valve. Thermal analysis and structural analysis used ANSYS Workbench.

This paper presents a numerical analysis of behaviors of rear closer of vertical launch system under rocket plume based on fluid structure interaction analysis. The rocket plume loading is modeled by fully Eulerian method and elasto-plastic behavior of rear cover is calculated by total Lagrangian method based on a 9-node planar element. The interface motion and boundary conditions are described by a hybrid particle level-set method within the ghost fluid framework. We compare the fluid flow pattern between different rear closer models which are elast-plastic and rigid deformation.

In this paper, the structure-fluid coupled analysis is carried out in order to examine the cause of the vibration induced by fluid in the pressure-reducing valves for water. It is confirmed that there is the noise at the area of low frequency of 250Hz by measuring noise at pressure reducing valve. The flow analysis is performed by the commercial software ANSYS/CFX. The flow velocity of about 40 m/s is formed by nozzle effect, and so negative pressure is happened in the pressure reducing valve. The structure analysis is carried out with the load condition of pressure distribution by flow formed in valve. The rubber material at disk is deformed to the extent of closing up flow passage. It is confirmed that the disc deformation which is occurred repeatedly is due to noise and vibration at the pressure reducing valve.

The surrounding ground was much transformed by the lateral movement on the soft ground, and consequently the stake basis was damaged. In this case the installed stake is ratted the passive stake, and is actively being researched. When the unevenly distributed load was applied on the stake, and thus the lateral ground pressure was operated, and then the lateral movement was occurred, and consequently the structure is influenced. However, prediction and mechanism for the relationship of piles and abutment deformation is not sufficient. In this paper, coupled three-dimensional finite element analysis, which can be described solid, plate and frame elements at the same time, is developed by the authors. The lateral movement of bridge abutment for the aspect ratio of steel piles on soft clay is clarified by using developed numerical analysis.

Leaf type foil bearings have been used successfully in many aerospace applications such as air cycle machines, turbocompressors and turboexpander. These applications are characterized by light loads, constant speeds and low to moderate temperatures. But, as system on start-up or shutdown, sliding contact between the shaft and foil surfaces cause wear. So, in present study, to understand pressure-flow characteristics and deformation of foil bearing, flow/structure interaction analysis was used. and using this method, 2D and 3D calculation was peformed for shape of foil bearing to know circumferential direction flow and leakage flow characteristics of axial direction.

Impeller blades in the centrifugal compressor are subjected to periodic aerodynamic excitations by interactions between the impeller and the diffuser vanes (DV) in resonant conditions. This may cause high cycle fatigue (HCF) and eventually result in failure of the blades. In order to predict the structural response accurately, the aerodynamic excitation and the major resonant conditions were predicted using unsteady computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and structural analysis. Then, a forced vibration analysis was performed by going through one-way fluid-structure interaction (FSI). A numerical analysis procedure was established to evaluate the structural safety with respect to HCF. The numerical analysis procedure proposed in this paper is expected to contribute toward preventing HCF problems in the initial design stage of an impeller.

An investigation on aerodynamic performance of a highly-loaded axial fan has been conducted to find the effects of tip injection and casing groove on aerodynamic performance in this study. Three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model were used to analyze the fluid flow in the fan with Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) analysis. The hexahedral grid was used to construct computational domain, and the grid dependency test drew the optimal grid system. FSI analysis was also carried out to predict the deformation of rotor and stator blades, and the effect of deformation on the aerodynamic performance of axial fan was analyzed compared to the performance predicted without FSI analysis.

Impeller blades in the centrifugal compressor are subjected to static loads due to the high-speed rotation and steady aerodynamic forces. At the same time, aerodynamic excitations by the interaction between the impeller and the diffuser vanes(DV) periodically excite the impeller blades in resonant conditions, which may lead to high cycle fatigue (HCF) and eventually result in failure of the blades. In order to predict the structural response accurately, the aerodynamic excitation and the major resonant conditions were predicted by performing the unsteady flow analysis and modal analysis using ANSYS. Next, a unidirectional forced vibration analysis was performed by using fluid-structure interaction (FSI) method, and the safety of HCF was evaluated based on the results.
