In this study, as a part of the aging aircraft performance improvement project for which no design information is provided, a new type of blade antenna is installed on the main part of the aging aircraft, and the method of proving the fatigue life of the main part of the aircraft is reviewed and summarized. There are various methods to prove fatigue life according to the manufacturer and aircraft design conditions. The fatigue life prediction and damage tolerance range of the relevant site were obtained through related regulations and industry examples. From these results, the fatigue life of newly installed antennas around the main parts of the aging aircraft was evaluated and the maintenance period and criteria were set according to the damage tolerance.

석유 및 천연가스 생산에 사용되는 고정식 해양플랜트에는 자켓 구조물이 가장 많이 사용되고 있다. 생산에 사용되는 자켓 구조물은 풍하중이나 파랑하중에 의해 인명의 피해 없이 변위 및 응력에 대해 안전해야 한다. 그러나 1940년대 후반부터 사용되어 온 자켓 구조물은 피로하중, 노후화로 인해 내구성에 문제가 생기고 있다. 본 논문에서는 자켓 구조물의 안전성을 검토하기 위해 모드형상을 이용하여 자켓 구조물의 손상 위치를 탐색하는 방법을 제시한다. 제시한 손상탐지기법의 효용성을 입증하기 위해 자켓 구조물의 유한요소모델에 임의의 손상을 모사하였다. 유한요소모델의 손상 전 모드형상과 손상 후 모드형상의 모달 변형에너지의 변화를 이용하여 손상 지수를 유도하고 유도한 손상지수를 사용하여 손상이 있는 부재와 손상이 없는 부재를 분류하였다. 연구 결과 손상지수가 '0'인 부재를 제외한 나머지 부재 모두 본 연구에서 제시한 손상탐지기법으로 손상 부재를 판별할 수 있었다.

지진하중에 의한 콘크리트의 손상 및 파괴의 적절한 평가를 위한 많은 연구가 수행되고 있지만 현재까지 손상을 당한 부재의 잔여강도를 예측할 수 있는 적절한 손상 모델이 없는 실정이다. 본 논문은 콘크리트의 손상에 관한 기본적인 현상들을 면밀히 조사 연구한 후 콘크리트의 low-cycle 피로현상을 해석모델링하여 반복하중 하에서의 손상모델을 제안하였다. 제안된 모델은 콘크리트가 파괴에 도달할 시 싸이클 수 대신에 부재의 흡수에너지 능력을 주요변수로 택하였다. 특히 본 손상모델으 정확성은 기 제안한바 있는 반복하중 작용시의 콘크리트 부재의 해석적인 이력모델[3]을 사용하여 예증하였다.

This paper is related with one of safety plans to rescue a damaged-ship whether by collision, grounding or internal accident. We discuss the problem on course stability of damaged-ship while towed under severe wind pressure. The characteristic equation to assess the stability on course, is derived from sway and yaw coupled motion of towing and towed vessels with wind effect. Through the numerical calculation on course stability of towing and towed vessels system, the relationship between the course stability of a towed damaged-ship and wind direction or towrope length, is clarified with the parameters of weather and damage conditions.

In general, fatigue analysis is performed by using deterministic model to estimate the optimal parameters. However, the deterministic model is difficult to clearly describe the physical phenomena of fatigue failure that contains many uncertainty factors. With regard to this, efforts have been made in this research to compare with the deterministic model and the stochastic models. Firstly, One deterministic S-N curve was derived from ordinary least squares technique and two P-S-N curves were estimated through Bayesian-linear regression model and Markov-Chain Monte Carlo simulation. Secondly, the distribution of Long-term fatigue damage and fatigue life were predicted by using the parameters obtained from the three methodologies and the long-term stress distribution.

In this study, the flap fatigue test of a 48 m long wind turbine blade was performed for 1 million cycles to evaluate the characteristics of acoustic emission signals generated from fatigue damage of the wind blades. As the number of hits and total energy continued to increase during the first 0.6 million cycles, blade damage was constant. The rise-time result showed that the major aspects of damage were initiation and propagation of matrix cracks. In addition, the signal analysis of each channel showed that the most seriously damaged sections were the joint between the skin and spar, 20 m from the connection, and the spot of actual damage was observable by visual inspection. It turned out that the event source location was related to the change in each channel's total energy. It is expected that these findings will be useful for the optimal design of wind turbine blades.

In a Korean Generation IV prototype sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR), various types of high-temperature heat exchangers such as IHX (intermediate heat exchanger), DHX (decay heat exchanger), AHX (air heat exchanger), FHX (finned-tube sodium-to-air heat exchanger), and SG (steam generator) are to be designed and installed. In this study, the high-temperature design and integrity evaluation of the sodium-to-air heat exchanger AHX in the STELLA-1 (sodium integral effect test loop for safety simulation and assessment) test loop already installed at KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) and FHX in the SEFLA (sodium thermal-hydraulic experiment loop for finned-tube sodium-to-air heat exchanger) test loop to be installed at KAERI have been performed. Evaluations of creep-fatigue damage based on full 3D finite element analyses were conducted for the two heat exchangers according to the high-temperature design codes, and the integrity of the high-temperature design of the two heat exchangers was confirmed.

Endurance of ship hull can be estimated by existing regulations and fatigue estimation methods. These can be applied to the hull materials that are recommended by ship regulations but can't be applied to new materials. In this study, structural force in the worst sailing condition is obtained by the acceleration measurement test of small polyethylene boat and the endurance of small polyethylene hull is estimated by rainflow cycle counting method and linear cumulative damage rule. Maximum Von-Mises stress on the polyethylene boat is 1.8MPa and much lower than the fatigue strength of at least 5.9MPa for the fatigue life of $1{\times}10^9$ cycles. Fatigue life of the polyethylene boat hull is estimated to be 6,229 years.

배관 구조물에서는 내부 미세 균열에서부터 국부 좌굴, 볼트 풀림, 피로 균열 등과 같이 다양한 형태의 손상이 복합적으로 발생 가능하다. 이러한 복합 손상은 배관 구조물의 누수, 누유 등의 사고를 야기할 수 있다. 하지만 기존의 단일 스케일 계측 시스템으로부터 복합 손상에 의한 실시간 누수를 진단하기는 매우 어렵다. 본 연구 단계에서는 누수를 야기하는 복합 손상을 효율적으로 진단하기 위하여 선행 연구에서 제안된 압전센서를 이용한 자가 계측 회로 기반의 다중 스케일 계측 시스템을 구조물의 복합 손상 진단에 적용하였다. 자가 계측 회로 기반 다중 스케일 계측 시스템은 크게 두 가지 형태의 신호를 계측한다. 첫 번째 스케일은 임피던스 계측으로부터 특정 주파수 대역폭에 대한 구조 응답을 계측하며, 두 번째 스케일은 유도 초음파 계측으로부터 단일 중심 주파수에 해당하는 구조물의 응답을 계측한다. 복합 손상을 손상 유형별로 분류하기 위하여 E/M 임피던스(Electro-mechanical impedance)및 유도 초음파(Guided wave) 계측으로부터 추출한 특성을 이용하여 2차원 손상지수를 계산하고 이를 지도학습 기반 패턴인식 기법(Supervised learning based pattern recognition) 중 확률론적 신경망 기법(Probabilistic Neural Network, PNN)에 적용한다. 제안된 기법의 적용성 검토를 위하여 파이프 구조물에 인위적으로 다중 손상을 생성시켜 시험을 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 기법이 실제 배관 구조물에 성공적으로 적용된다면 손상 부재의 거동 및 구조물 성능의 손상에 대한 영향을 효율적으로 진단하고 평가함으로써 배관 구조물의 효과적인 유지관리가 가능할 것으로 예상된다.

The naval structure exposes to environmental vibration of shafted propeller propulsion and engine vibration. The shipboard equipments are developed compliance to MIL-STD-167-1A. For this purpose, vibration fatigue life of shipboard equipment for long lives should be estimate via an analytical approach and vibration test. In this paper, High cycle fatigue strength of cast aluminum alloy A356 using shipboard equipment was evaluated by 14 S-N method. The stress applied on the structure is evaluated by an analytical method(frequency response analysis with sinusoidal input and a fatigue evaluation) to simulate a MIL-STD-167-1A test. The frequency with the maximum equivalent stress is shown by Max. test frequency and the vibration fatigue life of shipboard equipment was estimated by Miner's rule.
