Fracture behaviors of pipes with local wall thinning are very important for the integrity of nuclear power plant. However, effects of local wall thinning on strength and fracture behaviors of piping system were not well studied. Acoustic emission(AE) has been widely used in various fields because of its extreme sensitivity, dynamic detection ability and location of growing defects. In this study, we investigated failure modes of locally wall thinned pipes and AE signals by bending test. From test results, we could be divided four types of failure modes of ovalization, crack initiation after ovalization, local buckling and crack initiation after local buckling. And fracture behaviors such as elastic region, yielding region, plastic deformation region and crack progress region could be evaluated by AE counts, accumulative counts and time-frequency analysis during bending test. The result of the frequency range is expected to be basic data that can inspect plants in real-time.

In this study, the freezing process of L-shaped pipe exposed to the outside was investigated numerically by considering the mushy zone of freezing water. From the numerical results, it was found that the flow was outwardly directed due to the influence of the L-shaped bending part in the outside exposed part of the pipe, and the ice was formed in the shape of longitudinal corrugation on the wall surface of the pipe after the bending part. It is confirmed that this phenomenon is caused by the venturi effect due to the freezing as seen in connection with the velocity distribution in the pipe. It is found that the remelting phenomenon at the end of the freezing section occur simultaneously during the process of forming the ice in the pipe section. In regard of the factors affecting freezing, it was found that the thickness of the freezing layer is increased as the exposed pipe surface temperature is decreased, and the pipe surface temperature had a significant effect on the change of the freezing layer thickness. At the same time, it was found that the freezing layer becomes relatively thin when the water inflow rate is increased. This phenomenon was caused by reducing the exposure time of freezing water due to the vigorous flow convection of the water fluid.

Process conditions for the impregnation of polycarbosilane preceramic polymer into SiC-based composites were investigated. Two kinds of preceramic polymer (PCP) was impregnated into SiC-fiber fabrics with different solvents of n-hexane and divinylbenzene (DVB). Both microstructural observations and mechanical tests were conducted to evaluate the impregnation. The matrix phases were particulated in the case of hexane solvents. Apparent relative density of the matrix was about 78.8%. The density of matrix was increased to about 96.1-98.8% when the DVB was used; however, brittle fracture was observed during a bending test. The modulus of toughness was less than $0.74J/m^3$. The fabric impregnated with a mixed PCP-dissolved solution showed intermediate characteristics with relative high density of filling (apparent density of ~96.1%) as well as proper bending behavior. The modulus of toughness was increased to about $5.31J/m^3$. The composites developed by changing the precursor and solvent suggested the possibility of fabricating SiCf/SiC composites without a fiber to matrix interphase coating.

본 연구에서는 탄소섬유, 탄화규소섬유 그리고 하이브리드섬유를 강화재로 하여 TGCVI와 PIP 혼합 공정으로 $C_f/SiC$, $SiC_f/SiC$, $C_f-SiC_f/SiC$의 세라믹복합재를 제조하였다. 열충격싸이클시험, 3점 굴곡시험과 Oxy-Acetylene 토취 시험후에 그들의 기계적물성, 산화저항성과 내삭마성을 평가하였다. $C_f/SiC$복합재는 온도 증가에 따라서 기계적물성의 감소와 준 연성의 파단모드, 그리고 높은 삭마량을 보였다. $SiC_f/SiC$복합재는 $C_f/SiC$ 복합재에 비하여 강한 기계적물성, 낮은 삭마량을 그리고 취성의 파단모드를 나타냈다. 한편 하이브리드 복합재는 가장 우수한 기계적물성과 $SiC_f/SiC$보다는 연성의 파단모드 그리고 $C_f/SiC$ 보다 낮은 삭마량의 결과를 나타냈다. Oxy-Acetylene 토취 시험 중에 SiC매트릭스는 산화되어 $SiO_2$층을 형성하였으며, 특히 이 층은 $C_f-SiC_f/SiC$와 $SiC_f/SiC$ 복합재에서 섬유의 추가적인 삭마를 막는 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 낮은 기공율을 갖는 하이브리드 복합재를 제조한다면, $C_f/SiC$의 산화로 인한 기계적물성의 감소와 $SiC_f/SiC$ 복합재의 취성 파단모드의 개선으로 고온 산화분위기에서 고온열구조재로의 적용이 높을 것으로 기대한다.
