축정렬이 불량한 경우 축진동이 과도하게 발생하여 출력이 감소하고 소음이 발생하며, 심한 경우 회전체의 파손과 같은 손실을 입을 수 있다. 특히 축 정렬불량으로 인한 진동은 교정이 안되는 것이 특징이므로 근본적으로 진동 을 해결하기 위해서는 축 정렬을 다시 시행해야 한다. 그러나 터빈은 다른 기계 구조물과 달리 분해 점검에 많은 시간과 경비가 요구되므로 축 정렬시 정확한 작업이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 터빈계통의 축정렬을 수행하는 절차 와 방법에 대해서 검토하였다. 이를 위해 축정렬이 입력데이터로 쓰일 수 있 는 상태측정방법중 커플링 원주와 커플링 면 측정방법이 설명되었으며, 측정 값으로부터 축정렬을 수행하기 위해, 베어링의 이동량 계산과정과 쉼 가감량 의 계산방법을 기술하였다. 축정렬의 원리와 방법의 적용과정을 실제로 알아 보기 위해 평택화력 1,2호기에 대한 축정렬이 수행되었다. 1,2호기는 고압터 빈, 2단계의 저압터빈 및 발전기로 구성되어 있는 다축 시스템으로서, 제작 사측에서 요구하는 정렬 기준값을 감안하여 축정렬에 필요한 베어링 조정량 을 계산하였다. 계산과정은 기준로터로 지정된 저압터빈에서부터 축정렬상태 도를 작성하여 가면서 단계적으로 설명되었으며, 최종적으로 쉼의 가감량까 지를 보여줌으로서 축정렬과정을 완료하였다.

A steam turbine blade is one of the core parts in a power plant. It transforms steam energy into mechanical energy. It is installed on the rim of a rotor disk. Many failure cases have been reported at the final stage blades of a low-pressure (LP) turbine that is cyclically loaded by centrifugal force because of the repeated startups of the turbine. Therefore, to ensure the safety of an LP steam turbine blade, it is necessary to investigate the fatigue strength and life. In this study, the low cycle fatigue life of an LP steam turbine blade is evaluated based on actual damage analysis. To determine the crack initiation life of the final stage of a steam turbine, Neuber's rule is applied to elastic stresses by the finite element method to calculate the true strain amplitude. It is observed that the expected life and actual number of starts/stops of the blade were well matched.

The rotating components such as turbine rotors in service are generally subjected to multiaxial cyclic loading conditions. The prediction of fatigue lift for turbine rotor components under complex multiaxial loading conditions is very important to prevent the fatigue failures in service. In this paper, axial and torsional low cycle fatigue tests were preformed for 3.5NiCrMo steels serviced low pressure turbine rotor of nuclear power plant. Several methods to predict biaxial fatigue life such as Tresca, von Mises and Brown & Miller's critical plane approach were evaluated to correlate the experimental results for serviced NiCrMoV steel. The fracture mode and fatigue characteristics of NiCrMoV steel were discussed based on the results of fatigue tests performed under the axial and torsional test conditions. In particular, the Brown and Miller's critical plane approach was found to best correlate the experimental data with predictions being within a factor of 2.

Turbine, which is one of major components in nuclear power plants, requires reliable nondestructive inspections. But, accessibility of transducers is limited and interpretation of acquired signals is not easy at all due to the complication. So, in this study, we have fabricated mock-up specimens of real size and shape. we applied pulse-echo method and time-of-flight diffraction(TOFD) method for precise inspection of turbine key and wheel bore. And phased array ultrasonic testing method was adopted for wheel dovetail of turbines by using mock-up. Furthermore, an automatic scanner system was developed for in-service inspection of the developed methods.

The performance of the turbofan engine, a medium scale civil aircraft which has been developing in Rep. of Korea, was analyzed and the control scheme for optimization the performance was studied. The dynamic and real-time linear simulation was performed in the previous study The result was that the fuel scedule of the step increase overshoot the limit temperature(3105 $^{\cire}R$) of the high pressure turbine and got small surge margine of the high pressure compressor. Therefore a control scheme such as the LQR(Linear Quadratic Regulator) was applied to optimizing the performance in this studies. The linear model was expected for designing controller and the real time linear model was developed to be closed to nonlinear simulation results. The system matrices were derived from sampling operating points in the scheduled range and then the least square method was applied to the interpolation between these sampling points, where each element of matrices was a function of the rotor speed. The control variables were the fuel flow and the low pressure compressor bleed air. The controlled linear model eliminated the inlet temperature overshoot of the high pressure turbine and obtained maximum surge margins within 0.55. The SFC was stabilized in the range of 0.355 to 0.43.
