High temperature and high pressure heavy water flows through the pipes in atomic power plants. The curved parts of pipes are critical parts in that they change the direction of steam flow, and these parts are especially affected by severe wear. Therefore, most pipes in atomic power plants are tested by non-destructive examination by workers who use ultrasonic sensors to measure the wall thickness of pipes. But not only are these pipes located in a very dangerous environment, but the space is also very limited. For the safety of workers, it is necessary to design a device that uses a mobile robot that can inspect curved pipes. This paper presents the design and construction of a small device that can generate the necessary contact forces between ultrasonic sensors and pipe walls in a limited space. And a mobile robot is used in place ortho worker for successful non-destructive examination.

In the current research, the nonlinear free vibrations of curved pipes made of functionally graded (FG) carbon nanotube reinforced composite (CNTRC) materials are investigated. It is assumed that the FG-CNTRC curved pipe is supported on a three-parameter nonlinear elastic foundation and is subjected to a uniform temperature rise. Properties of the curved nanocomposite pipe are distributed across the radius of the pipe and are given by means of a refined rule of mixtures approach. It is also assumed that all thermomechanical properties of the nanocomposite pipe are temperature-dependent. The governing equations of the curved pipe are obtained using a higher order shear deformation theory, where the traction free boundary conditions are satisfied on the top and bottom surfaces of the pipe. The von Kármán type of geometrical non-linearity is included into the formulation to consider the large deflection in the curved nanocomposite pipe. For the case of nanocomposite curved pipes which are simply supported in flexure and axially immovable, the motion equations are solved using the two-step perturbation technique. The closed-form expressions are provided to obtain the small- and large-amplitude frequencies of FG-CNTRC curved pipes rested on a nonlinear elastic foundation in thermal environment. Numerical results are given to explore the effects of CNT distribution pattern, the CNT volume fraction, thermal environment, nonlinear foundation stiffness, and geometrical parameters on the fundamental linear and nonlinear frequencies of the curved nanocomposite pipe.

Many pipes that are arranged longitudinally in ships have loops at intervals to prevent the failure of the pipes as they absorb large portions of the axial load caused by the bending of the hull girder and/or thermal loads when the pipes are carrying very hot fluids. Since the loops are curved at corners, an efficient method for conducting the structural analyses of these curved portions is required. In this paper, a pipe loop was analyzed by an analytical method and by the finite-element method in four different ways, i.e., based on straight-beam elements, curved-beam elements, 2-D shell elements, and 3-D solid elements. The results of the five analyses were compared to check the validity of the current curved-beam theory. The paper includes some suggestions on how to analyze the pipe loops efficiently.

Most ships and offshore structures are equipped with a variety of pipes, which inevitably contain curved portions. While it has been a usual practice to conduct bending stress analyses of these curved pipes using the straight-beam theory, this paper adopts two different types of finite elements, straight-beam elements and two-dimensional shell elements, for finite element analyses of a variety of curved pipes. It then compares the analysis results for two different types of elements to determine correction factors, which can be used to transform the bending displacements and bending stresses obtained by straight-beam elements to those obtainable by two-dimensional shell elements. The paper ends with a practical suggestion on how to efficiently use these correction factors to estimate the combined axial and normal stresses in a curved portion of a pipe.

폴리머 재질의 관을 융착 시키기 위해서는 버트 융착 공정을 거치는데, 최근 융착면에 굴곡을 주어 융착 강도를 높이고자 하는 시도가 있었다. 본 연구에서는 융착면의 굴곡이 폴리머의 열유체 거동 및 융착 강도에 어떠한 영향을 미칠 것인지 2차원 축대칭 평면에서 유한요소법을 사용하여 살펴보았으며, 고밀도폴리에틸렌 관을 대상으로 하였다. 열유화 단계에서 융착면의 형상을 따라 굴곡진 상경계면이 나타남을 확인할 수 있었다. 접합 단계에서는 굴곡진 상경계면과 융착면 사이에서의 멜트의 압착 흐름이 나타남을 확인할 수 있었으며, 굴곡융착부의 낮은 전단율은 관의 축과 수직 방향 배향을 완화시켜 융착부 강도 향상에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

For the curved concrete track construction of 2018 winter Olympic sliding center in Pyeongchang, in this study proposed the digital fabrication technology using CNC. This method can control the 3D geometries of the curved concrete structure based on the digital design. Conventional method generates the construction errors because this method fabricates many temporary zig bar using 1:1 full size drawing for install frozen pipes and sets up each zig bars at the construction site. Propose method is effective to ensure the precise fabrication and construction of zig bars. Also this method can eliminate errors of the frozen pipes position and curved concrete construction.

본 연구에서는 최근 발생하는 지중 매설관의 파손이 곡선부에 집중되고 있는 현실적인 문제를 통해 지중 매설관의 곡선부에 대해 보다 합리적인 해석 방법을 제시하고, 곡선부를 갖는 지중 매설관의 안전성 평가에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 실제 시공 및 균열이 발생한 사례를 바탕으로 대상 모델을 선정하고 지중 매설관에 작용 가능한 하중 조합을 고려하였다. 3차원 유한요소해석을 통해 변형량과 응력 그리고 좌굴에 대한 구조해석을 수행하였으며 이를 통해 직선부에 비해 곡선부에 응력이 집중되며 지중 매설관의 안전성을 저해 하고 있음을 볼 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 통해 곡선부를 갖는 지중매설관의 경우곡선 연결부에 대한 정밀한응력 해석을 통한 안전성 평가가 이루어져야 한다고 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 수치해석을 통하여 반복하중으로 인해 곡관에 형성되는 피로균열에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 곡관의 수치해석 모델을 개발하였으며, 균열 형성 시점과 형성 과정에 기초하여 수치해석 모델을 검증하였다. 요소에 erosion 기능을 적용하여 피로균열을 표현하고 형성 시점을 추정하고자 하였으며, 두께방향으로 다수의 요소를 배치하여 균열의 형성 과정 또한 모사하고자 하였다. 100 mm 변위에 대한 실험결과와 비교하여 균열의 형성 시점 및 형상이 잘 일치하는 것을 확인하였으며, 추가적인 다른 변위에 대한 균열의 형성 시점 또한 예측하였다. 본 모델을 사용하여 다양한 형태의 하중에 대해 해석을 수행한다면 곡관의 형상 및 특성에 따른 하중과 균열 형성시점의 관계를 예측할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The three-dimensional turbulent flow in curved pipes susceptible to flow-accelerated corrosion has been analyzed numerically to predict the pressure and shear stress distributions on the inner surface of the pipes. The analysis employs the body-fitted non-orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system and a standard $ {\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model with wall function method. The finite volume method is used to discretize the governing equations. The convection term is approximated by a high-resolution and bounded discretization scheme. The cell-centered, non-staggered grid arrangement is adopted and the resulting checkerboard pressure oscillation is prevented by the application of a modified version of momentum interpolation scheme. The SIMPLE algorithm is employed for the pressure and velocity coupling. The numerical calculations have been performed for two curved pipes with different bend angles and curvature radii, and discussions have been made on the distributions of the primary and secondary flow velocities, pressure and shear stress on the inner surface of the pipe to examine applicability of the present analysis method. As the result it is seen that the method is effective to predict the susceptible systems or their local areas where the fluid velocity or local turbulence is so high that the structural integrity can be threatened by wall thinning degradation due to flow-accelerated corrosion.

Most ships and offshore structures are equipped with a variety of pipes, which inevitably contain curved portions. The structural design of these pipes mostly relies on the commercial code, CAESAR-II, which was especially developed for the structural analysis of pipes. This study conducted stress analyses of the same pipe unit, including loops, using both CAESAR-II and MSC/NASTRAN, and compared the results to investigate the characteristics of CAESAR-II. A parametric study was then conducted of the various design variables of pipe loops using CAESAR-II to draw some useful information about the structural characteristics of the loops.
