현재 우리나라에는 상당량의 천연가스 배관 및 송유관이 지하에 매설되어 있고 그 길이는 매년 큰 폭으로 증가하고 있다. 이러한 배관은 배관건설공사 및 공사후 유지, 보수 관리시 배관의 파괴와 관련된 여러가지 상황이 존재할 수 있다. 즉 외부에서 작용하는 다양한 요인이나 배관 내부요인에 의해 배관이 완전한 파단까지는 이르지 않더라도 손상을 받는 경우가 생긴다. 배관에 손상이 발생하였을 때 그 원인을 규명하고 처리방안을 마련하는 작업이 필요하다. 이러한 것들을 사전에 미리 예방하고 손상해석을 올바르게 하는데 필요한 것이 배관손상사례에 대한 데이터베이스이다.

An electrical steel strip is commonly used as a core material in all types of electric transformers and motors. It is produced by a cold rolling process. In this paper, a damage-mechanics-based approach that predicts the edge fracture of an electrical steel strip during cold rolling is presented. We adopted the normal tensile stress criterion and the fracture energy method as a damage initiation criterion and a damage evolution scheme, respectively. We employed finite element analysis (FEA) to simulate crack initiation and propagation at the initial notch located at the edges of the strip. The material constants required in FEA were experimentally obtained by tensile tests using a standard and a notched sheet-type specimen. The results reveal that the edge crack was initiated at the entrance of the roll bite and that it rapidly evolved at the exit. The evolution length of the edge crack increased as the length of the initial notch as well as the front tension reel force of the strip increased.

가새골조의 정확한 내진성능평가를 위해서는 실험과 유사한 이력거동과 파단 시점을 잘 예측할 수 있는 해석적 모델이 필요하다. 가새의 이력거동을 모사히기 위해 본 연구에서는 이전 연구자들에 의해 제안된 물리적 이론 모델을 사용하였다. 또한, 가새부재의 국부좌굴에 의한 파단 예측을 위해 피로변수의 보정계수를 도입한 손상 지표를 개선하였다. 결과적으로 실험과 해석 결과를 비교하여 콘크리트충전 각형 강관가새부재의 국부좌굴 효과를 반영한 피로 보정계수를 판폭두께비에 따라 회귀분석을 통해 결정하고, 본 연구에서 제안한 해석 모델의 결과와 이전 연구의 결과를 비교하여 검증하였다.

AE technique was applied to the static structural test of the composite wing structure to evaluate the structural integrity and damage. During the test, strain and displacements measurement technique were used to figure out for static structural strength. AE parameter analysis and source location technique were used to evaluate the internal damage and find out damage source location. Design limit load test, the 1st and 2nd design ultimate load tests and fracture test were performed. Main AE source was detected by an sensor attached on skin near by front lug. Especially, at the 1st design ultimate test, strain and displacements results didn't show internal damage but AE signal presented a phenomenon that the internal damage was formed. At the fracture test, AE activities were very lively, and strain and displacements results showed a tendency that the load path was changed by severe damage. The internal damage initiation load and location were accurately evaluated during the static structural test using AE technique. It is certified from this paper that AE technique is useful technique for evaluation of internal damage at static structural strength test.

This study suggests a guideline for designing unit process of wastewater reuse in terms of a maintenance of the process based on critical parameters to draw a high quality performance of RO unit. Defining the parameters was done by applying membrane integrity test (MIT) in pretreatment process utilizing lab-scale MF. SDI is utilized for judging whether permeate is suitable to RO unit. However, result said TOC concentration matching with particle count analysis is better for judging the permeate condition. When membrane test pressure (P_test) was measured to derive log removal value in PDT, virgin state of membrane fiber was used to measure dynamic contact angle utilizing surface tension of the membrane fiber. Actually, foulant affects to the state of membrane surface, and it decreases the P_test value along with time elapsed. Consequently, LRV_DIT is also affected by P_test value. Thus, sensitivity of direct integrity test descends with result of P_test value change, so P_test value should be considered not the virgin state of the membrane but its current state. Overall, this study focuses on defining design parameters suitable to MF pretreatment for RO process in wastewater reuse by assessing its impact. Therefore, utilities can acknowledge that the membrane surface condition must be considered when users conduct the direct integrity test so that P_test and other relative parameter used to calculate LRV_DIT are adequately measured.

This paper presents the assessment of 7-wire strand monitoring using acoustic emission technique for bridges. 7-wire strand is widely used construction materials to provide additional tensile force to bridges. PSC (PreStressed Concrete) bridge and cable-stayed bridge are representatives for such cases. However, as the bridge aging progresses recently, corrosion problems of strand are emerging. For this reason, various NDT (Non-Destructive Test) methods for cable inspection are being studied and applied to the field. One of the NDT methods, acoustic emission technique, is known as an effective technique to detect cable damage and breakage. In this study, to evaluate the applicability of acoustic emission technique to bridges, acoustic emission signals according to damage of the strand were acquired and analyzed by tensile test. Moreover, The optimal AE sensor type was selected for field application. As a result, it is considered that the acoustic emission technique will be able to detect corrosion breakage and signs of rupture.

LBB 설계법은 오늘날 같이 플랜트의 대형화 및 복잡화함에 따라서, 균열이 발생하였다고 하여도 기기의 점검시 발견하지 못하는 수가 있을 것이다. 이러한 경우에 있어서 LBB 설계법은 fail safe design으로서 만일의 손상이 발생하더라도 플랜트의 안전성 및 경제성 확보를 위하여 매우 중요한 설계법이다. 이 LBB 설계법은 위에서도 설명하였듯이 선진제국에서는 상당히 연구가 진전되어 있으나, 우리나라에서는 이 분야에 연구가 전혀 없는 실정이다. 특히 에너지자원이 부족한 우리나라로서는 LNG, LPG 가스의 수입에 있어서, 이러한 저온가스를 운반할 tanker의 개발에 있어서도 LBB의 확보가 중요한 것이다. 또한 발전에너지원을 석유에만 의존하는 현재의 추세에서, 우라늄 등에 의한 원자력발전으로 대체되어 가고 있는 현재 전 발전능력의 약 50%를 의존하고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 면에서 실제의 구조물이 일시에 파단이 일어나지 않고, 파단 신뢰성이 충분히 높다는 것을 실증하여 둔다는 것은 안전성평가상 지극히 중요한 것이다.

추진기관 연소관 제작시 발생하는 결함등에는 주로 표면결함의 형태의 것이 많은데 연소관 설계시 이러한 결함들의 영향을 고려하는 것이 구조물의 안정성에 있어 중요한 요소가 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 연소관에 발생할수 있는 결함들에 대한 파단하중 및 파단압력에 대한 탄성 및 탄소성해석을 통하여 파괴 매개변수인 J적분을 유한요소 프로그램인 ABAQUS를 이용하여 3차원 비선형해석을 수행하여 5가지의 균열모델을 사용하여 평판, 양단개방 압력용기(open tube) 및 양단막힘 압력용기 (closed tube)의 파단하중하에서의 J적분의 영향을 분석하였다. 평판 결함시편의 J적분으로부터 압력용기의 손상허용설계를 할 수 있는 방안을 조사 하였으며 추진기관 연소관에 적용하여 발생가능한 크기의 결함에 대한 안정성을 조사한결과 충분한 안정성을 확보하고 있음을 알수 있었다.

Recently, various evaluations concerning structural stability under construction step and completely constructed step have been executed during a Long-span Arch Bridge designing procedure. However, the breakage of cable-hangers of arched bridge in unexpected accident or periodic cable-replacement has not been considered. Therefore, the purpose of this study is that analyzing structural safety of arched bridge when the cable-hangers being fractured by that reasons. Dynamic analysis are performed by idealizing impact load to three types of impact functions as fracturing the cables. Consequently, when the hangers are fractured, the maximum tensile force by dynamic analysis is larger than those by static analysis. Therefore, the dynamic analysis is demanded to accurately obtain the responses for the structural stability with a realistic impact loading model in the breakage and replacement of cable hangers of long-span arched bride. Moreover, the analysis method and results in this study can be used to basic criteria in design.

Nondestructive damage sensitivity of carbon nanotube(CNT) and nanofiber (CNF)/epoxy composites with their adding contents was investigated using electro-micromechanical technique. Carbon black (CB) was used only for the comparison with CNT and CNF. The fracture of carbon fiber was detected by acoustic emission (AE), which was correlated to the change in electrical resistance, ΔR under double-matrix composites (DMC) test. Stress sensing on carbon nanocomposites was performed by electro-pullout test under uniform cyclic loading. At the same volume fraction, the damage sensitivity for fiber fracture, matrix deformation and stress sensing were highest for CNT/epoxy composite, whereas for CB/epoxy composite they were the lowest among three carbon nanomaterials (CNMs). Damage sensitivity was correlated with morphological observation of carbon nanocomposites. Homogeneous dispersion among CNMs could be keying parameters for better damage monitoring. In this study, damage sensing of carbon nanocomposites could be evaluated well nondestructively by the electrical resistance measurement with AE.
