Fatigue crack initiation around a hole subjected to biaxial fatigue loads with a phase difference was investigated. Axial and torsional biaxial fatigue loads with different phase differences and biaxiality of 1/√3 were applied to thin-walled tubular specimens. Five phase differences of 0, 45, 90, 145 and 180 degrees were selected. Directions of the fatigue crack initiation around the hole were found to approach to the circumferential direction of the specimen with increment of the phase difference for fatigue tests with phase differences less than 90$^{\circ}$. Whereas directions for tests with phase differences greater than 90$^{\circ}$ got away from the circumferential direction and those were symmetric to the directions for tests with phase difference less than 90. . Furthermore, it was shown that the fatigue initiation life decreased with increment of phase difference for fatigue tests with phase differences less than 90$^{\circ}$, but it increased for tests with phase difference greater than 90$^{\circ}$. The crack initiation direction can be successfully explained by using the direction of the maximum tangential stress range obtained around the hole and at far-field.

Piping systems of the power generating stations have been generally protected by hydraulic and mechanical snubbers which can allow large displacements arising from temperature change while those can reduce or absorb stresses due to vibrations. However these snubbers require amounts of budget for maintenance or replacement because of the leakage, lubrication and finally short life cycle. Recently the snubbers consisted of wire rope have been proved to reduce vibrations of piping systems. While the wire rope snubbers are free of maintenance such as leakage and lubrication, imported price are so high. Now it is necessary to design, manufacture and certificate these wire rope snubbers.

The automatic turbine startup system provides turbine control based on thermal stress. During the startup, control system monitors and evaluates main components of turbine using damage mechanism and life assessment. In case of valve chest, the temperature of inner/outer wall is measured by thermo-couples and the safety of these values are evaluated by using allowable ${\Delta}T$ limit curve during the startup. Because allowable ${\Delta}T$ limit curve includes life assessment, it is possible to apply this curve to turbine control system. In this paper, low cycle fatigue damage and combined rupture and low cycle fatigue damage criterion proposed for yielding the allowable ${\Delta}T$ limit curve of CV(control valve) chest. To calculate low cycle fatigue damage, the stress analysis of valve chest has peformed using FEM. Automatic turbine startup to assure service life of CV was achieved using allowable ${\Delta}T$ limit curve.

The piping systems in nuclear power plant are composed of various typed pipes such as straight, elbow pipe, branch and reducer etc. The elbow is connected from straight pipe to another pipes in order to establish the complicated piping system. Elbow is one of very important components considering management of wall thinning degradation. It is however applied by various loads such as system pressure, earthquake, postulated break loading and many transient loads, which provoke simply the internal pressure, bending and torsional stress. In this study, firstly pipes in the secondary system of the nuclear power plant are classified as pipe size and type for selecting the investigating range. Next, a large number of finite element analysis considering the all typed dimensions of commercial pipe has been performed to find out the behavior of TES(twice elastic slop) plastic load of elbows, which is based on evaluation of the structural safety factor. Finally performance based structural safety factor was investigated comparing with maximum allowable load by construction code.

The automatic turbine startup system provides turbine control based on thermal stress. During the startup, control system monitors and evaluates main components of turbine using damage mechanism and life assessment. In case of valve chest, the temperature of inner/outer wall is measured by thermo-couples and the safety of these values are evaluated by using allowable △T limit currie during the startup. Because allowable ΔT limit curve includes life assessment, it is possible to apply this curve to turbine control system. In this paper, low cycle fatigue damage, combined rupture and low cycle fatigue damage criterion were proposed for yielding the allowable ΔTf limit curve of CV(control valve) chest. To calculate low cycle fatigue damage, the stress analysis of valve chest has been performed using FEM. Automatic turbine startup to assure service life of CV was achieved using allowable ΔT limit curve.

용접구조물을 그의 사용목적에 적합하게 제작하려면 그의 구조설계와 사용재료의 적절한 선택과 사용성능을 충분히 확보하게 끔 제작과정과 품질보증을 할 수 있는 것이 필요하다. 즉 용접성 (Weldability)을 만족하게 하는 것이다. 구조물의 제작에 있어서 배려하여야 할 것은 구조의 사 용성능의 확보와 안전성인 것이다. 사용성능이란 구조의 강도, 기능 그리고 미관이나 끝내기의 외관적 성능등이다. 우리들의 생활공간에 존재하는 구조물이 한번 파손이나 파괴의 사고가 발 생하면 치명적인 것이 된다. 용접설계 생산과 제작의 기술적인 준비로써 용접구조물을 대상으로 용접가공에 중점을 두어 사용되는 말이다. 용접설계는 구조물과 제품의 용접제작과정을 완전히 지시하고 용접이음에 요구되는 사용성능이 확보 되게 끔 부재배치와 치수등이 선정되고 제작과 검사등의 실제 작업성을 충분하게 고려한 제작계획을 세우는 것을 말한다. 이와 같이 된 용접 설계를 바탕으로 용접기술자가 최적한 용접재료의 용접조건등을 결정한다. 즉 설계와 용접시공은 서로 밀접한 관계를 갖고 있어야 한다. 특히 용접설계의 비교적 초기단계에 속하는 것은 제품 기본계획과 강도해석 그리고 구조설계의 과정에 반드시 용접기술자의 관여가 필요한 것이다. 그리고 설계의 최적화를 위하여는 많은 정보 특히 경험적인 정보와 구조 해석적인 정보가 잘 처리되어야 한다. 오늘날의 CAD의 도입이란 전산기의 처리기술과 graphic기술을 묘미 있게 이 용한 것이라 할 수 있다. 용접구조물의 용접성을 논술하려면 다음과 같이 구분하는 것이 바람 직하다. 1. 용접구조물의 허용강도 2. 동접구조용의 강의 선택 3. 용접시공조건 4. 용접설계 이중 용접 제작과정을 표 1에 나타내었다. 구조물의 용접설계 요구조건으로써, 1)손상, 2)탄성 파손, 3)항복응력, 4)기계적인 불안정성, 5)파괴와 붕괴등을 고려하여야 하며 구조용 강의 선택은 1. 강도(strength) 2.연성(ductility) 3.인성(toughness)을 고려하여 구조물의 설계에 충분히 만 족해야 한다.

The purpose of this paper is to present a summary of assignment design values according to domestic softwood structural lumber grading rules. Allowable stresses for visually graded lumber were determined from basic data on small. clear specimens. The data corrected for variability such as natural defects and other factors. The procedure adopted by Japan was used for assigning allowable design values. Strength ratios in relation to each defect were taken from ASTM D 245-81. Korean pine(Pinus koraiensis S. et Z.), Korean red pine(Pinus densiflora S. et Z.), Japanese larch(Larix leptolepis Gordon) and Needle fir(Abies holophylla Max) were applied to this study. The calculated allowable stresses were same in Korean pine and Korean red pine. These values were highest in Japanese larch lowest in Needle fir. So, it is desirable for these species to be classified into different catagories Species Group. However, accurate comparison in design values on lumber grading rules among U.S., Japan and Korea was somewhat difficult. And full scale testing will be necessary for accurate determination of the correction factors to setting up design values.

지표수 수자원은 다른 형태의 수자원에 비하여 경제성은 우수하나 환경 훼손, 시공간적 변동성에 대한 취약성, 각종 수질 위협요소에 노출되는 단점 을 가지고 있다. 지표수 수자원과는 달리 Aquifer Storage Transportation and Recovery (ASTR) System을 이용한 지하저수지는 수자원의 안전한 확보, 환경문제 등의 측면에서 새로운 대안으로 제시되고 있다. '청정지하저수지연구단'에서 연구하고 있는 '대규모청정지하저수지'는 피압대수층에 담수를 주입하여 형성된 담수체를 수자원으로 이용한다. 본 연구는 피압대수층 주입정 및 양수정 운영에 따른 지반영향을 연구하였다. 과거 지반변형을 고려하지 않은 무분별한 피압대수층의 지하수 개발로 태국, 중국 등지에서 심각한 지반침하를 야기하였으며 이에 대한 대책으로 인공함양이 이루어진바 있다. 피압대수층 상부에 위치한 점토층은 지반변형에 가장 큰 영향을 미치며 점토층의 변형 혹은 파괴 시 지하수 이용 및 인간의 활동에도 영향을 끼칠 수가 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 주입 및 양수가 점토층에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 지반변형을 허용 범위 내로 국한시키기 위해서 피압대수층에 가할 수 있는 최대 수위변화량을 산정하는 데 있다. 양수로 수두가 감소하는 경우 유효응력 증가에 따른 지반침하가 우려되며, 주입으로 수두가 상승하는 경우 지반파괴가 야기될 수 있다.

The Zienkiewicz-Zhu(Z/Z) error estimate is slightly modified for the hierarchical p-refinement, and is then applied to L-shaped plates subjected to bending to demonstrate its effectiveness. An adaptive procedure in finite element analysis is presented by p-refinement of meshes in conjunction with a posteriori error estimator that is based on the superconvergent patch recovery(SPR) technique. The modified Z/Z error estimate p-refinement is different from the conventional approach because the high order shape functions based on integrals of Legendre polynomials are used to interpolate displacements within an element, on the other hand, the same order of basis function based on Pascal's triangle tree is also used to interpolate recovered stresses. The least-square method is used to fit a polynomial to the stresses computed at the sampling points. The strategy of finding a nearly optimal distribution of polynomial degrees on a fixed finite element mesh is discussed such that a particular element has to be refined automatically to obtain an acceptable level of accuracy by increasing p-levels non-uniformly or selectively. It is noted that the error decreases rapidly with an increase in the number of degrees of freedom and the sequences of p-distributions obtained by the proposed error indicator closely follow the optimal trajectory.
