The aerodynamically excited vibration and natural frequency of rotating disks are analytically studied in this paper. The theoretical analysis uses a fluid-structure model where the aerodynamic effects are represented in terms of elastic, lift and drag forces. The explicit expressions on natural frequencies of the air coupled disk are obtained as functions of the aerodynamic coefficients. for the three cases where the disk rotates in three different cases (in vacuum, in open air without enclosure, and close to rigid wall). The theoretical results give that the natural frequencies of rotating disks in air are smaller than those in vacuum, because the effect of the added fluid mass decreases the frequencies. This paper also proposes an analytical method to predict the flutter speed of a rotating disk.

Experimental studies on the aerodynamic coupling effect on natural frequencies, critical speed and flutter instability of rotating disks are investigated in this paper. The theoretical analysis uses a fluid-structure model where the aerodynamic effects are represented in terms of elastic, lift and damping and stiffness components. The experiments performed using a vacuum chamber and ASMO/DVD disks rotating in vacuum, open and enclosure in several gaps with stationary wall give three main results. One is that the aerodynamic effect by the surrounding air reduces the natural frequencies and critical speeds of the vibration modes. The second is that natural frequency of disks rotating in open air is larger than that in enclosure. Finally, it is shown that the disk vibration is reduced as the gap between the disk and the rigid wall decreases.

In order to investigate the vibration characteristics of fluid-structure interaction problem, we modeled two identical rectangular plates coupled with bounded fluid. The fixed boundary condition along the plate edges and an ideal fluid were assumed. A commercial computer code, ANSYS was used to perform finite element analysis and FEM solutions were compared with the experimental results to modify the finite element model. As a result, comparison of FEM and experiment showed good agreement, and the transverse vibration modes, in-phase and out of-phase. were observed alternately in the tluid-coupled system. The effects of distance between two rectangular plates and width to length ratio on the fluid-coupled natural frequency were investigated. And it was found that the ormalized natural frequency of the fluid-coupled system monotonically increased with an increase in the number of modes.

풍력발전에 사용하는 풍력터빈의 블레이드의 적어도 20년 이상의 설계수명이 요구된단. 블레이드는 바람에 의한 압력, 지지대 구조에 의해서 가해지는 힘과 모멘트에 의해 블레이드에 변형이 가해진다. 특히 바람에 의해 블레이드는 연속적인 하중을 받아서 재료를 손상시킨다. 본 연구에서는 블레이드와 허브로 구성된 모델을 이용하여, 전산유체해석을 일차적으로 수행하여 블레이드 주변의 압력분포를 구하였다. 계산된 압력을 이용하여 다음 단계로 유한요소해석을 수행하여 블레이드 재료에 발생하는 응력을 계산하여 피로해석을 수행하였다. 피로해석을 통해 재료에 미치는 손상률을 구하였다. 다양한 블레이드 피치 각도과 바람의 속도에 따라 해석결과를 비료 분석하였다.

Column mixer is one of the facility to mix fluids at petrochemical plants. The column vibration is caused by pumps for fluid inflow and mixing of inside fluids. This fluid induced vibration is mainly responsible for the reduction of column life. Measurements were performed three times for understanding the vibration characteristics of the column. First experimental results showed the need of stiffness reinforcement. After the reinforcement work, second measurement conformed the difference between two results. Modal analysis was also performed to investigate the resonance of the column vibration and the damage of the rib plate. To confirm the generation of the fluid instability in the column mixer fluid structure interaction analysis using ADINA/FSI was performed which showed the necessity of the modification of the rotary valve.

The free flexural vibration of a hanged clamped-free cylindrical shell partially submerged in water with gap from bottom is investigated. The fluid is assumed to be inviscid and irrotational. The cylindrical shell is modeled by using the Rayleigh-Ritz method based on the Sanders shell theory. The kinetic energy of the fluid is derived by solving the boundary-value problem related to the fluid motion. The natural vibration characteristics of the partially submerged cylindrical shell are discussed with respect to the added virtual mass approach. In this study, experiments were carried out to confirm theoretical results. It was found that theoretical prediction is in good agreement with experimental results.

본 논문에서는 배관의 국부변형을 고려하여 각 배관의 특성으로 인하여 발생하게 되는 최대 응력 발생지점에 대한 평가 및 설계기법을 제안한다. 다중관은 일반적으로 배관의 매설 조건이 불안정한 곳이나 배관의 내부 유체의 유출 모니터링 및 난방관 등의 보온을 목적으로 사용되나, 다중관의 거동에 대한 거동 및 설계에 대한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 본 연구에서 제안한 기법은 탄성범위에서 거동하는 연성관을 대상으로 하며 외관의 형상 및 외부 하중에 의하여 예상되는 국부 변형을 설계 인자로 고려하는 방법이다. 일반적인 원형관의 경우 관의 하단부에서 가장 큰 국부 변형 반경을 나타나며, 국내외에서 사용하고 있는 정사각 콘크리트 보호공의 경우 관의 상측, 하측부($45+90n^{\circ}$)에서 가장 큰 반경을 관찰할 수 있다. 이는 내압이 작용하는 구조물에 대하여 낮은 압력에도 항복에 이르는 환경을 제공하기 때문에 설계 시 반영되어야 할 중요한 요소이다.

In the present paper, the sloshing resistance performance of an LNG carrier insulation system is evaluated by fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis. For this analysis, the arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) method is adopted to accurately calculate the structural behavior induced by internal LNG motion of a KC-1 type LNG carrier cargo tank. In addition, the global-local analysis method is introduced to reduce computational time and cost. The global model is built from shell elements to reduce the sloshing analysis time. The proposed novel analysis techniques can potentially be used to evaluate the structural integrity of LNG carrier insulation systems.

Structural health monitoring for ships and offshore structures is important in various aspects. Ships and offshore structures are continuously exposed to various environmental conditions, such as waves, wind, and currents. In the event of an accident, immense economic losses, environmental pollution, and safety problems can occur, so it is necessary to detect structural damage or defects early. In this study, structural response data of multi-linked floating offshore structures under various wave load conditions was calculated by performing fluid-structure coupled analysis. Furthermore, the order reduction method with distortion base mode was applied to the structures for predicting the structural response by using the results of numerical analysis. The distortion base mode order reduction method can predict the structural response of a desired area with high accuracy, but prediction performance is affected by sensor arrangement. Optimization based on a genetic algorithm was performed to search for optimal sensor arrangement and improve the prediction performance of the distortion base mode-based reduced-order model. Consequently, a sensor arrangement that predicted the structural response with an error of about 84.0% less than the initial sensor arrangement was derived based on the root mean squared error, which is a prediction performance evaluation index. The computational cost was reduced by about 8 times compared to evaluating the prediction performance of reduced-order models for a total of 43,758 sensor arrangement combinations. and the expected performance was overturned to approximately 84.0% based on sensor placement, including the largest square root error.

This study aimed at validating the adopted numerical methods to solve two-phase flow around a two-dimensional (2D) rectangular floating structure in regular waves. A structure with a draft equal to one half of its height was hinged at the center of gravity and free to roll with waves that had the same period as the natural roll period of a rectangular barge. In order to simulate the 2D incompressible viscous two-phase flow in a wave tank with the rectangular barge, the present study used the volume of fluid (VOF) method based on the finite volume method with a standard turbulence model. In addition, the sliding mesh technique was used to handle the motion of the rectangular barge induced by the fluid-structure interaction. Consequently, the present results for the flow field and roll motion of the structure had good agreement with those of the relevant previous experiment.
