This paper proposes a method to detect rail broken through impedance measurement. In general, broken rails are detected in real time using the track circuit, but the proposed method not only detects the broken rails but also estimates positions of broken areas by measuring the rail impedance. To electrically insulate one side of the rail, parallel resonance is made by adding a capacitor; then, the impedance of the other rail is measured. If the measured impedance has an inductive value, there is no broken area of rail. However if the measured impedance has a capacitive value, the rail is broken. The proposed method is modeled using a transmission line; it is shown that the modeling can estimate the position of the broken rail according to the impedance value. The rail impedance is measured by the proposed method for a 60m simple rail model, and it is verified that the presence of a broken rail changes the rail impedance.

가공배전선로는 야외에 시설되어 하계의 태풍 및 동계의 설해와 같은 자연재해에 상시 노출됨에 따라 지지물 절손 피해가 발생할 우려가 높다. 따라서 직선으로 시설되는 전주가 절손되지 않도록 설계지역의 기상조건을 감안하여 전주강도가 충분한지 여부를 검토하여야 한다. 그러나 현업에 종사하는 설계원들이 어떠한 방법으로 전주강도를 검토하는지에 대한 이해가 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 고에서는 전주강도 계산과 관련하여 연구된 이론을 설명하였고, 그 이론을 바탕으로 장경간개소와 표준경간에 설치되는 전주에 대한 설계방안을 연구한 결과를 사례를 통해서 설명하였다. 본 고에서 제시한 방법에 따라 설계를 시행한다면 직선으로 시공되는 전주들의 강도가 태풍 및 설해에 대비하여 충분히 확보됨에 따라 재해 시에도 이로 인한 전주 절손 피해가 예방될 수 있을 것으로 기대되며, 또한 전기고장 예방을 통한 고품질 전력확보에도 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

This paper presents a case history of piping failures on power plant. The root cause of the failure was defined to set the optimal countermeasures. The failure comes from transient vibration and the 1st stress increased at the hydraulic oil supply system of control valves for high pressure steam turbine.

This paper presents a case history on failures of impeller and shaft due to pressure pulsation at single stage feed water pumps in 700 MW nuclear power plant during commissioning operation. The pumps had been service and had run for approximately $40{\sim}50$ hours. For the most part, the failures of impeller occurred with the presence of a number of fatigue cracks. All cracks were associated with the deleterious surface layer of impeller by visual and metallurgical examination. On-site testing and analytical approach was performed on the systems to diagnose the problem and develop a solution to reduce the effect of exciting sources. A major concern at high-energy centrifugal pump is the pressure pulsation created from trailing edge of the Impeller blade, flow separation and recirculation at centrifugal pumps of partial load. Pressure pulsation due to the interaction generating between impeller and casing coincided with natural frequencies of the impeller and shaft system during 1ow load operation. It was identified that dynamic stress exceeding the fatigue strength of the material at the thin shroud section due to the hydraulic instability at running condition below BEP.

This study is objected by presenting preliminary data to revise the periodic replacement criteria of continuous welded rail (CWR) in using. In this study, it is investigated information resources for foreign standards, the cause and types of damage in welded rails and the track maintenance history of Seoul metro to analysis the correlation between rail failure and accumulated passing tonnage. Also, it is performed bending test for the laid welded rail reaching the periodic replacement criteria. In result, the correlation between rail failure and accumulated passing tonnage is not obvious and it is a lot of cases for the construction error of welded rail. Also, as a result of bending test of laid welded rail, according to reducing about $17{\sim}18%$ the bending fracture strength of rail, the laid welded rail reaching the periodic replacement criteria is well enough ensured for the load carrying capacity of rail.

In recent days, the consumption of stainless steel in the propulsion shafting systems for small-medium class vessel is increased due to its high corrosion protection with wear resistant properties. Unfortunately the small and medium class vessel that operated in the west-south sea area of Korean peninsula experienced heavy wear down due to the role of mud. In the event of wear or broken down, the propeller shaft must be replaced by new one, but the new shaft is very expensive and time-consuming for order made supply. In this case, the methods of built up for wear and broken shaft by welding is one of the most effective cases. In this study, the built up welding for austenitic stainless steel shaft has been accomplished by various pre-surface treatment, welding methods, post heattreatment and inspection. The results confirmed that the built-up welding was one of the effective methods for stainless steel shafting.

Impulsive sound and vibration signals in gear system are often associated with their faults. Thus these impulsive sound and vibration signals can be used as indicators in condition monitoring of gear system. The traditional continuous wavelet transform has been used for detection of impulsive signals. However, it is often difficult for the continuous wavelet transform to identify spikes at high frequency and meshing frequencies at low frequency simultaneously since the continuous wavelet transform is to apply the linear scaling (a-dilation) to the mother wavelet. In this paper, the spike wavelet transform is developed to extract these impulsive sound and vibration signals. Since the spike wavelet transform is to apply the non-linear scaling, it has better time resolution at high frequency and frequency resolution at low frequency than that of the continuous wavelet transform respectively. The spike wavelet transform can be, therefore, used to detect fault position clearly without the loss of information for the damage of a gear system. The spike wavelet transform is successfully is applied to detection of the gear fault with tip breakage.

As a result of the examination analyzed loop type of Detecting the Broken Rail Monitoring System as a part of prevention of train derailment, installed in the Seoul Metro No. 2 subway line 98.51m section which is Samsung to Seolleung, we found that it is possible to detect crack location(Thermit welding: 48.18m) within the margin of error of ${\pm}1m$ accurately As analysis of the first day, third day, fifty day, and seventh day periodically, we found that Fresnel reflection happened where the crack location 48.18m. However other 3 branches show loss by bending of optical cable(spread reflection from the outside impact).
