산업용 직물은 다른 건축재료에 비해 유연성이 크고 재료무게에 비해 카버하는 면적이 넓어서 장기적인 고정 건축물이 아닌 경우에 그 이용도가 늘어나고 있다. 이러한 산업용 직물의 주 기능은 예정 사용기간 동안 직물 양면사이의 압력을 견디는 일이 주 부하 모드이며 이 이차원구조를 유지하는 부분은 이 구조를 잡고 있는 부분이다. 그러나 직물의 일부가 파손되어 압력차를 유지하지 못하면 공압을 이용한 건축물의 순간적인 파괴로 연결된다. (중략)

This paper presents the results of theoretical analysis and experimental test to verify the size effect on the fiber strength of filament wound pressure vessel. As a test method, a series of fully scaled hoop ring tests with filament wound carbon fiber-epoxy has been conducted. Test results showed remarkable size effect on fiber strength. And, as an analytical method, the WWLM(Weibull weakest link model) and SMFM(sequential multi-step failure model) were considered and compared to hoop ring test data. The analysis results showed significantly lower fiber strength value than that of test data. Through the modification of length size effect, modified SMFM is suggested. The fiber strengths from modified SMFM showed good agreement with test data.

The theory developed in a preceding paper [1] for poroelastic composite material behavior under thermal and gas diffusion is applied to thermo-chemical decomposition of a carbon-phenolic composite rocket nozzle liner under typical operating conditions. Specifically, the structural component simulated is the cowl ring for which distributions of pressure in the material pores, temperature and across-ply stress are presented. The results for particular composite designs show that across-ply failure occurs due to tensile stress in the material which is indicative of plylift. This prediction corroborates observations of plylift in a nozzle cowl. Simulations suggest designs to avoid plylift in the cowl zone.

To launch rocket on launch pad, propellants and gases are charged into the rocket by remote control system. Using pneumatic pressure-reducing regulators, kinds of gases with various pressure levels are supplied into launch pad. As most of operations for launching the vehicle are remotely controled in the launch control room, pressure pulsations due to rapidly gas supply at the upstream of regulators can make the required operating pressure range missed and cause damage to the regulators. In this paper, the optimum design methods of pressure regulators of pressure-reducing system on launch pad using high-pressure gases were investigated to solve the aforementioned problems and for stable gas supply to launch pad.

The piping failure probability of the reactor coolant system in Kori unit 1 was evaluated considering stress corrosion cracking. The P-PIE program (Probabilistic Piping Integrity Evaluation Program) developed in this study was used in the analysis. The effect of some variables such as oxygen concentration during start up and steady state operation, and operating temperature, which are related with stress corrosion cracking, on the piping failure probabilities was investigated. The effects of leak detection capability, the size of big leak, piping loops, and reactor types on the piping failure probability were also investigated. The results show that (1) LOCA (loss of coolant accident) probability of Kori unit 1 is extremely low, (2) leak probability is sensitive to oxygen concentration during steady state operation and operating temperature, while not sensitive to the oxygen concentration during start up, and (3) the piping thickness and operating temperature play important roles in the leak probabilities of the cold leg in 4 reactor types having same inner diameter.

In the composite case, the first ply failure is considered total failure of the case. When the case is constructed by filament winding over a metal liner, the first ply failure does not necessarily mean total failure of the case. In this study, we compared the results through finite element analysis and burst test to predict the burst pressure of the hybrid case (filament-wound composite case with metal liner). Through it predicts the burst pressure of the hybrid case, we can determine the thickness of the metal liner and composite.

Failure behaviors of thin cylinder with corrosion are very important for the integrity of boiler and pressure vessel system. In this study, FEM with internal pressure are conducted on 1000 mm diameter (length 3000 mm and thickness, 5.9 mm) SS400 carbon steel. Failure behaviors of locally wall thinned cylinders were calculated by elasto-plastic analysis using finite element method. The elasto-plastic analysis was performed by FE code ANSYS. We simulated various types of local wall thinning that can be occurred at cylinder surface due to corrosion. Locally wall thinned shapes were machined to be different in size along the circumferential or axial direction of straight cylinder. In case of local wall thinned length 30 mm, internal pressure, when the crack initiation and the plastic collapse occur, didn't decrease dramatically even though local wall thinned depth was deep. In 400 mm, the more local wall thinned depth is deep, the more internal pressure decreased dramatically. In degraded materials, crack is easily initiation but plastic collapse was difficult.

A rubber diaphragm is a critical element of accumulators. The material of a diaphragm is nitrile rubber so as to recover and adjust the large deformation under external pressure fluctuation. The performance of accumulators is influenced by the deformation behaviors of the diaphragm. A large deformation behavior of the diaphragm has been investigated using the commercial finite element program MARC K7.1. The several elastic moduli have been used in linear analysis and Ogden's coefficients have been used in non-linear analysis. As a result, it has been shown that the deformation behavior with a elastic modulus of $0.3 kg/mm^2$ is similar to the behavior of non-linear analysis. And, the modified diaphragm shape to reduce the stress concentration has been proposed.

The structural reliability assessment can be used to improve the reliability in the asset integrity management of the pipeline by using a geometric variation, mechanical characteristics, load change and operating condition as evaluation factors. When evaluating structural reliability, the failure probability of the natural gas pipe is evaluated by the relationship of the resistance of the pipe material to external loads. The failure probability of the natural gas pipe due to the combined stresses such as the internal pressure, thermal stress and bending stress was evaluated by using COMREL program. When evaluating the failure probability of the natural gas pipe, a buried depth of 1.5 to 30 m, a wheel load of 2.5 to 20 ton, a temperature difference of 45℃, an operating pressure of 6.86MPa, and a soil density of 1.8 kN/㎥ were used. The failure probabilities of the natural gas pipe were evaluated by the Von-Mises stress criterion as the maximum allowable stress criterion under the combined stresses.

The wall thickness of a pressure tube is increased in order to reduce the probability of failure in a pressure tube of CANDU type reactor. It is presented here that the variation of wall thickness changes stress, hydrogen concentration and delayed hydride cracking in Zr-2.5Nb pressure tube. When the wall thickness is increased from 4.2 mm to 5.2 mm, the stress exerted on the tube and the deuterium taken up during operation are reduced by 19％. Further, the calculated allowable depth of the surface flaw over which delayed hydride cracking(DHC) is susceptible increases by 50％. DHC initiation is controlled by the stress and by the hydrogen concentration in the pressure tube. The results are therefore very significant in such a respect that increased wall thickness may reduce DHC initiation. Ac the wall thickness increases the hydrostatic tension will increase. Its impact on the acceleration of the crack growth rate of DHC deserves further studies.
