The integrity evaluation of pipes in nuclear power plant are essential for the safety of reactor vessel, and integrity must be assured when flaws are found. Accurate stress intensity analyses and crack growth rate data of surface-cracked components are needed for reliable prediction of their fatigue life and fracture strengths. Fatigue design and life assessment are the essential technologies to design the structures such as pipe, industrial plant equipment and so on. The effect of crack spacing on stress intensity factor K values was studied using three-dimensional finite element method (FEM). For the case of cylinder under internal pressure, a significant increase in K values observed at the deepest point of the surface crack. Also, this paper describes the fatigue analysis for cracked structures submitted to bending loads.

신 차종의 개발 시, 기존 차량 모델을 사용하여 재 설계하는 방식에 의해 전례 없이 빠르게 차량 개발을 수행하고 있다. 또한 대부분의 이들 후속 차량은 공통 플렛폼 상에 설계되고 있으며, 일반적으로 충격, 구조 건전성, 생산 타당성 검토 등의 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션은 개발 프로세서 초기 단계에서 행하여 지고 있으나. NVH 엔지니어링은 차량 개발 프로세스의 매우 중요한 과정으로 되어 있음에도 불구하고, 실내 소음, 진동 승차감, 피로 수명 예측 등은 사용되는 해석 모델의 크기 및 복잡성으로 인하여 이들 성능 특성 평가 및 최적화는 아직 도전 과제이며, 본 논문에서는 몇몇 선진 OEM에서 수행되고 있는 NVH 개발 프로세스와 이를 가능케 하는 기법을 소개한다.

Metal fatigue is an important aging mechanism that material characteristics can be deteriorated when even a small load is applied repeatedly. An accurate fatigue evaluation is very important for component structural integrity and reliability. In the design stage of a nuclear power plant, the fatigue evaluations of the Class 1 components have to be performed. However, operating experience shows that the design evaluation can be very conservative due to conservatism in the transient severity and number of occurrence. Therefore, the fatigue monitoring system has been considered as a practical mean to ensure safe operation of the nuclear power plants. The fatigue monitoring system can quantify accumulated fatigue damage up to date for various plant conditions. The purpose of this paper is to describe the fatigue monitoring procedure and to introduce the fatigue monitoring program developed by the authors. The feasibility of the fatigue monitoring program is demonstrated by comparing with the actual operating data and finite element analysis results.

국내에서 상업운전중인 월성 원자로는 캐나다에서 개발한 CANDU형 원자로로 핵연료를 지지하는 핵연료 압력관이 사용되며, 핵연료 압력관은 원자로의 1차기기로 건전성확보가 매우 중요하다. 가동중 검사시 압력관에서 결함이 검출되면, 지속적인 사용을 위해서 결함의 건전성을 확보하여야하나, 그 평가절차가 매우 복잡하다. 본 연구에서는 핵연료 압력관 평가를 보다 신속하고 효율적으로 수행하기 위한 건전성 평가시스템을 개발하였다. 개발된 평가시스템은 예리한 결함 및 둔한 함에 대한 평가를 수행할 수 있으며, 피로균열평가, 지체수소균열평가, 불안정파괴평가, 파단전누설평가, 소성붕괴평가모듈을 수록하고 있다. 또한 개발된 시스템을 검증하기 위하여 캐나다 ECL에서 제시한 평가결과와 비교함으로서 본 시스템의 효용성을 검증하였다.

The satellite is exposed to various launch environments such as random vibrations and shock. Accordingly, structural design of electronic equipment mounted on satellite must meet reliability requirements at the box level. In addition, it is essential to secure the reliability of the solder joint applied to electronic equipment. In this paper, we performed a modal and quasi-static analysis for the purpose of satisfaction of the design requirements of the CCB (Camera Controller Box) present on the 500 kg-class compact advanced satellite (CAS500). In addition, structural safety of electronic components was verified by the Steinberg's method and random equivalent static analysis.

In this paper, we analyzed the characteristic of the broken section for bolts fastening the generator casing, and according to the frequency analysis, we grasped the characteristic of the excited force, traced the path of the exciting source so that we examined a factor of transient vibration of the generator casing. Even if it appears transient vibration again, we applied spring washer and more tensile bolt to the casing to minimize the fracture. By solving troubles of the generator rotor, we reduced the vibration amplitude to the normal condition. So we obtain much more the reliablility of the generator.

Rotor blades are important devices that affect the power performance, efficiency of energy conversion, and loading and dynamic stability of wind turbines. Therefore, considering the characteristics of a wind turbine system is important for achieving optimal blade design. When a design is complete, a design evaluation should be performed to verify the structural integrity of the proposed blade in accordance with international standards or guidelines. This paper presents a detailed exposition of the evaluation items and acceptance criteria required for the design certification of wind turbine blades. It also presents design evaluation results for a 2-MW blade (KR40.1b). Analyses of ultimate strength, buckling stability, and tip displacement were performed using FEM, and Miner's rule was applied to evaluate the fatigue life of the blade. The structural integrity of the KR40.1b blade was found to satisfy the design standards.

Inconel alloys are generally used as steam generator tubes in nuclear power plants. These alloys are highnickel chromium alloys that exhibit excellent resistance to aqueous corrosion. In this paper, the effects of elevated temperatures such as an operating temperature of $320^{\circ}C$ on the fretting fatigue behavior of inconel 600 and 690. We observed that the plain and fretting fatigue limits at $320^{\circ}C$ were slightly lower than those at room temperature. The frictional forces varied depending on the number of load cycles. After each test, we studied the fretting fatigue mechanisms via SEM observations. These results can be used for structural integrity evaluations at elevated temperatures and for studying fretting damage in steam generator systems.

High pressure components of a gas turbine engine are generally made of nickel-base superalloys, using precision casting process due to complicated geometries with intricate channels and cooling holes. Turbine components manufactured from directionally solidified and single crystal materials have columnar grains; however, it is found that the crystals do not grow in its preferred direction, although the orientation can be controlled. This anisotropy can lead to the variations of elastic and Hill's parameters in constitutive equations, and they alter stress distributions and the low cycle fatigue life. We aims to evaluate the effects of perturbed crystal orientations on the structural integrity of a directionally solidified nozzle using low cycle fatigue life. We also attempt to show the necessity for the control of allowed manufacturing errors and stochastic analysis. Our approaches included conjugate heat transfer and structural analysis, along with low cycle fatigue life assessment.
