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.

플랜트와 같은 장치산업은 내구성 구조물이므로 사용중에 열화가 발생하는 것은 필연적이다. 특히 고온, 고압의 부식환경하에서 사용되는 설비는 손상이 심하므로 가동중에 돌발적인 고장이 발생하여 플랜트의 가동을 중지하거나 파손사고가 일어나 생산손실은 물론 경우에 따라서는 안전사고의 발생, 환경오염 등 사회적인 문제를 일으키므로 이들 설비의 경년열화 실체를 충분히 이해하고 대책을 수립하는 것은 대단히 중요하다. 따라서 본고에서는 장치산업에서 발생하는 열화현상(재료의 연화, 경화 및 취화, 크리프, 피로, 부식, 마모 등)중 손상의 주류를 이루는 연화, 경화 및 취화, 크리프 피로에 대하여 기본적인 손상기구(damage mechanism)와 비파괴적 진단 및 평가 방법에 주안점을 두어, 현재 국내의 각종 플랜트 진단에 실용화된 기술을 해설하여 이 분야에 종사하는 관계자 여러분의 이해에 조금이라도 기여코자 한다.

Maintaining structural integrity of major apparatuses in a nuclear power plant, including piping system, is recognized as a critical safety issue. The integrity of piping system is also a critical matter related to the safety of a nuclear power plant. The actual failure mode of a piping system due to a seismic load is the leakage due to a fatigue crack, and the structural damage mechanism is the low-cycle fatigue due to large relative displacement that may cause plastic deformation. In this study, in-plane cyclic loading tests were conducted under various constant amplitudes using specimens composed of steel straight pipes and a steel pipe tee in the piping system of a nuclear power plant. The loading amplitude was increased to consider the relative displacement generated in the piping system under seismic loads, and the test was conducted until leakage, which is the limit state of the steel pipe tee, occurred due to fatigue cracks. The limit state of the steel pipe tee was expressed using a damage model based on the damage index that used the force-displacement relationship. As a result, it was confirmed that the limit state of the steel pipe tee can be quantitatively expressed using the damage index.

The estimation of the fatigue design life for large welded structures is usually performed using the liner cumulative damage method such as Palmgren-Miner rule or the equivalent damage method. When a fatigue crack is detected in a welded steel structure, the residual service life has to be estimated base on S-N curve method and liner elastic fracture mechanics. In this study, to examine the 3D fatigue crack behavior and estimate the fatigue life of out-of-plane gusset fillet welded joint, the fatigue tests were carried out on the model specimens. Investigations of three-dimensional fatigue crack propagation on gusset welded joint was used the finite element analysis of FEMAP with NX NASTRAN and FRANC3D. Fatigue crack growth analysis was carried out to demonstrate the effects of aspect ratio, initial crack length and stress ratio on out-of-plane gusset welded joints. In addition, the crack behaviors of fatigue tests were compared with those of the 3D crack propagation analysis in terms of changes in crack length and aspect ratio. From this analysis result, SIFs behaviors and crack propagation rate of gusset welded joint were shown to be similar fatigue test results and the fatigue life can also be predicted.

Fatigue damage detection and vibration sensing for a laminated composites and impact location detection for a steel beam have been carried out using optical fiber sensor. Intensity based optical fiber sensor is constructed by placing two cleaved fiber end in a hollow glass tube, and multiple reflection within the cavity is considered. Fatigue signals are measured by embedded optical fiber, surface mounted optical fiber sensor and strain gage simultaneously. For vibration sensing, optical fiber sensor is mounted on the carbon fiber composite beam and its response to free vibration and forced vibration is investigated. In impact location detection, two optical fiber sensors are used and the information obtained from two sensors is arrival time delay of vibration caused by impact. Impact location can be calculated from this time delay. The obtained results show that the intensity based optical fiber sensor provide reliable data during long-term fatigue loading, unlike strain gage which deteriorate during the early part of the fatigue test. Optical fiber sensor signals coincide with gap sensor in vibration sensing. The precise locations of impact can be detected within 4.1% error limit.

In the present study, the microscopic degradation of copper and copper alloy subjected to cyclic deformation has been evaluated by the electrical resistivity measurement using the DC four terminal potential method. The copper (Cu) and copper alloy (Cu-35Zn), whose stacking fault energy is much different each other, were cyclically deformed to investigate the response of the electrical resistivity to different dislocation substructures. Dislocation cell substructure was developed in the Cu, while the planar array of dislocation structure was developed in the Cu-35Zn alloy increasing dislocation density with fatigue cycles. The electrical resistivity increased rapidly in the initial stage of fatigue deformation in both materials. Moreover, after the fatigue test it increased by about 7 % for the Cu and 6.5 % for the Cu-35Zn alloy, respectively. From these consistent results, it may be concluded that the dislocation cell structure responds to the electrical resistivity more sensitively than the planar array dislocation structure evolved during cyclic fatigue.

The fatigue life is estimated while determining the reliability of aircraft structures. In this study, the estimation of fatigue life was carried out on the basis of a cumulative damage theory; the working S-N curve and the equivalent stress on the engine support structure significantly affect the safety of the aircraft. The maximum stress observed was 1,080 MPa in the case of scissors link under crash load condition, and there was a 5% margin for the allowable stress corresponding to the temperature reduction factor. The maximum stress was 876 MPa, and the stress equation coefficient had a maximum value of 0.019 MPa/N in the case of scissors link under fatigue loads. In the results of the fatigue life analysis, the safety life in a fretting area of scissors link upper part was 416,667 flight hour, and other parts showed to infinite life. Therefore, it was demonstrated that the fatigue life requirement of aircraft engine support structure (scissors link, straight link) could be satisfied.
