Together with the emerging of the Eco-ship, the application of large-diameter and high-efficiency propeller required more careful attention than before in the design of the shafting system. After the adoption of Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EAL) to the stern tube lubrication oil, a number of aft stern tube bearing accidents have been reported, and a variety of institutions have actively conducted research on the cause relationship. This study attempted to find the cause of the accident by measuring the alignment of the shafting system of a medium-sized product/chemical tanker with aft stern tube bearing damage and analyzing the reaction force of each bearing. In addition, a reasonable solution to the correction of the shaft alignment was suggested and the feasibility was reviewed. Through various measured data and analysis, the actual installation of shafting system was slightly different from the design drawing condition, but it was found that each bearing load distribution was within the allowable range. Therefore, it was confirmed that the cause of this accident was due to the dissatisfaction the misalignment slope of aft stern tube bearing rather than the effect of the bearing overload. As a solution to this cause, countermeasures such as double slope were suggested in the aft stern tube bearing, and the characteristics of EAL also seem to have an indirect effect.

The tubes which are applied in jacket platforms as the supporting structure might be collided by supply vessels. Such kind of impact will lead to plastic deformation on tube members. As a result, the ultimate strength of tubes will decrease compared to that of intact ones. In order to make a decision on whether to repair or replace the members, it is crucial to know the residual strength of the tubes. After being damaged by lateral impact, the simply supported tubes will definitely loss a certain extent of load carrying capacity under uniform axial compression. Therefore, in this paper, the relationship between the residual ultimate strength of the damaged circular tube by collision and the energy dissipation due to lateral impact is investigated. The influences of several parameters, such as the length, diameter and thickness of the tube and the impact energy, on the reduction of ultimate strength are investigated. A series of numerical simulations are performed using nonlinear FEA software LS-DYNA. Based on simulation results, a non-dimensional parameter is introduced to represent the degree of damage of various size of tubes after collision impact. By applying this non-dimensional parameter, a simplified formula has been derived to describe the relationship between axial compressive residual ultimate and lateral impact energy and tube parameters. Finally, by comparing with the allowable compressive stress proposed in API rules (RP2A-WSD A P I, 2000), the critical damage of tube due to collision impact to be repaired is proposed.

The presence of thermal bridges in a building envelope cause additional heat loss which increases the heating energy. Given that a higher building insulation performance is required in these cases, the heat loss via thermal bridges is a high proportion of the total heat energy consumption of a building. For the dry exterior insulation system that uses mullions and transoms to fix insulation and exterior materials such as stone and metal sheet, the occurrence of thermal bridges at mullions and transoms is one of the main reasons for heat loss. In this study, a dry exterior insulation system using the truss insulation frame (TIF) was proposed as an alternative to metal mullions. To evaluate the building envelope performance, structural, air-leakage, water-leakage, fire-resistance, thermal, and condensation risk tests were conducted. In addition, the annual energy consumption associated with heating and cooling was calculated, including the linear thermal transmittance of the thermal bridges. As a result, the dry exterior insulation system using TIF achieved the allowable value for all tests. It was also determined that the annual heating load of a building was reduced by 36.7 % when the TIF dry exterior insulation system was used, relative to the dry exterior insulation system using steel pipes without additional insulations.

본 연구에서는 탄소섬유 강화 복합재료를 적용하여 PTO 샤프트의 임계 속도를 향상시키는 연구를 진행하였다. 탄소섬유 강화 복합재료의 경우 전단 강도가 낮은 단점이 있어, 이를 보완하기 위해 티타늄-탄소섬유 강화 복합재료 하이브리드 구조로 설계하는 것을 제안하였다. PTO 샤프트에서 요구하는 최대 허용 토크, 임계 속도, 비틀림 고유진동수 기준을 충족시키는 최적의 구조를 설계하고 제작하였다. 제작한 PTO 샤프트의 성능 평가를 위해 진동 시험, 정적 비틀림 시험, 비틀림 내구성 시험이 수행되었고, 진동 시험에서 PTO 샤프트의 임계 속도는 20570 rpm로 티타늄 샤프트 대비하여 7.5% 향상된 것을 확인하였다. 또한 정적 비틀림 시험을 통해 PTO 샤프트의 최대 허용 토크가 2300 N·m로 해당 기준을 충족시키는 것을 확인하였다. 최종적으로 11.3~113 N·m 범위의 하중을 반복하는 비틀림 내구성 시험에서도 10⁶ 사이클 동안 피로파괴가 발생하지 않는 것으로 평가되었다.

해양플랜트 상구구조물의 중량 절감을 위한 알루미늄 핸드레일 적용을 위하여, 소재의 항복강도 향상 및 관련 국제기준에 부합한 강도평가를 통하여 설계가 이루어지고 있다. 기존에 해양프로젝트에 설치된 알루미늄 핸드레일은 플랫폼에 설치 시 소켓에 볼트 연결되며, 소켓의 설계 정도에 따라서 핸드레일 처짐 량이 크게 좌우된다. 그러나 국제기준에서는 소켓에 대한 중요성 언급이 없으며, 별도의 평가 절차나 기준도 모호하다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해서 핸드레일 소켓 설계 시 고려해야 하는 주요 인자들에 대한 강도 해석을 수행하고, 최적의 치수를 도출하였다. 개발모델의 구조 안전성을 확보하기 위하여, 실험을 통한 검증을 수행하였고, 국제기준에서 요구하는 허용 처짐 이내에서 모두 만족함을 확인하였다. 개발된 국산화 모델은 기존 외국 제조사와 비교하여 가볍고, 생산성이 향상되어 향후 많은 분야에서 사용이 될 것으로 판단된다.

Nuclear Power Plants (NPP) should be designed to have sufficient safety margins and to ensure seismic safety against earthquake that may occur during the plant life time. After the 9.12 Gyeongju earthquake accident, the structural integrity of nuclear power plants due to the beyond design basis earthquake is one of key safety issues. Accordingly, it is necessary to conduct structural integrity evaluations for domestic NPPs under beyond design basis earthquake. In this study, the Level 3 LBB (Leak Before Break) evaluation was performed by considering the beyond design basis earthquake for the surge line of a OPR1000 plant of which design basis earthquake was set to be 0.2g. The beyond design basis earthquake corresponding to peak ground acceleration 0.4g at the maximum stress point of the surge line was considered. It was confirmed that the moment behaviors of the hot leg and pressurized surge nozzle were lower than the maximum allowable loading in moment-rotation curve. It was also confirmed that the LBB margin could be secured by comparing the LBB margin through the Level 2 method. It was judged that the margin was secured by reducing the load generated through the compliance of the pipe.

The non-linear static analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) structures using the three-dimensional (3D) finite element method is a time-consuming and challenging task. Moreover, this type of analysis encounters numerical problems such as the lack of convergence of results in the stages of growth and propagation of cracks in the structure. The time integration analysis along with the mass scaling (MS) technique is usually used to overcome these limitations. Despite the use of this method in the 3D finite element analysis of RC structures, a comprehensive study has not been conducted so far to assess the effects of the MS method on the accuracy of results. This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of the MS method in the non-linear quasi-static finite element analysis of RC structures. To this aim, different types of RC structures were simulated using the finite element approach based on the implicit time integration method and the mass scaling technique. The influences of effective parameters of the MS method (i.e., the allowable values of increase in the mass of the RC structure, the relationship between the duration of the applied load and fundamental vibration period of the RC structure, and the pattern of applied loads) on the accuracy of the simulated results were investigated. The accuracy of numerical simulation results has been evaluated through comparison with existing experimental data. The results of this study show that the achievement of accurate structural responses in the implicit time integration analyses using the MS method involves the appropriate selection of the effective parameters of the MS method.
