The hot spot stress approach is usually adopted in the fatigue design and analysis of tubular welded joints. To apply the hot spot stress approach for fatigue evaluation of long span suspension bridges, the FEM is used to determine the hot spot stress of critical fatigue location. Using the local finite element models of the Tsing Ma Bridge, typical joints are developed and the stress concentration factors are determined. As a case for study, the calculated stress concentration factor is combined with the nominal representative stress block cycle to obtain the representative hot spot stress range cycle block under traffic loading from online health monitoring system. A comparison is made between the nominal stress approach and the hot spot stress approach for fatigue life evaluation of the Tsing Ma Bridge. The comparison result shows that the nominal stress approach cannot consider the most critical stress of the fatigue damage location and the hot spot stress approach is more appropriate for fatigue evaluation.

This paper presented an evaluation method for the efficiency uncertainty of a three-phase induction motor using finite element analysis. The motor efficiency in the finite element analysis is calculated by the loss separation method as in the actual test. In the process of evaluating the efficiency uncertainty, the difference between the finite element analysis and the actual test is the method of calculating the type-A / B standard uncertainty of the input quantity to estimate the efficiency and each losses. For the input quantities which can confirm the instantaneous values with respect to time, the type-A standard uncertainty in the finite element analysis is calculated from the RMS values or average values having separate periods in the steady state. And, the type-B standard uncertainty in the finite element analysis is assumed to be zero. Also, this paper compared and analyzed the efficiency uncertainty evaluated by the proposed method and the efficiency uncertainty through the actual test.

In order to evaluate the dynamic behavior of passive energy dissipation system, two steps need to be considered for prediction of structural response in the presence of ductile element in an off-centre bracing system. The first is a detailed analysis of the proposed ductile element and the second is the effect of this ductile element on an off-centre bracing system. The use of ductile bracing system is expanding in steel structures in order to increase the force reduction factor. Therefore, regarding the nonlinear behavior of steel material used in an off-centre bracing systems and using ductile element in OBS bracing systems, the seismic evaluation of the mentioned systems seems to be necessary. This paper aims to study linear and nonlinear behavior of steel frames with off-centre bracing system and ductile element, in order to get the best position of these bracing elements. To achieve this purpose, the modeling has been done with ANSYS software. The optimum eccentricity has been obtained by modeling three steel frames with different eccentricities and evaluating the results of them. The analytical results showed that the model OBS-C with 0.3 eccentricities has higher performance among the models.

The present study proposes the integrity evaluation model for a straight pipe with local wall thinning defect, which reflects the characteristics of training shape and loading condition in the Piping of nuclear power plant. For this purpose, a series of finite element analyses are performed under various defect geometries and loading conditions, and real pipe experiment data performed previously is employed. The model includes the effect of thinning length as well as thinning depth and width, and also it considers the combined loading effect between internal pressure and bending moment. The proposed model has been validated using the results of finite element analysis and pipe experiment data. The results indicate that the proposed model provides more reliable predictions of pipe failure than the current existing model, in terms of accuracy, consistency, and conservativeness of results.

Many techniques have been developed to evaluate the structural integrity for the traction motor with squirrel cage. However, the former approaches are not appropriate to our problems and there is no reliable specification for evaluation of squirrel cage motor. In this study, an improved boundary condition and the criteria for evaluation are proposed. Using 3-dimensional solid element, finite element model is generated. The number of meshes can be reduced by considering the symmetry of geometry. Stress analyses are carried out for three types of traction motors.

Bellows is a familiar component in piping systems as it provides a relatively simple means of absorbing thermal expansion and providing system flexibility. In routine piping flexibility analysis by finite element methods, bellows is usually considered to be straight pipe runs modified by an appropriate flexibility factor; maximum stresses are evaluated using a corresponding stress concentration factor. In this paper, the dynamic characteristics of bellows were investigated by Finite element methods. Using Anany program, the natural frequencies and evaluation of the reliability of bellows were also investigated.

국가 직무능력 표준 (NCS; national competency standards)은 직무를 수행하기 위해 요구되는 능력에 대한 체계화 및 표준화이다. NCS는 특정 직무능력인 능력단위 요소로 구체화하고 표준화하여 학습모듈을 개발한다. 기존 교육과정은 NCS 능력단위 요소를 교육 훈련에 활용하기 위해서 갭 분석 (gab analysis)이 필수적이다. 기존에 갭 분석은 전문가가 주관적으로 평가하였다. 전문가에 의한 갭 분석은 심리적 요소에 의해 주관적 결정, 정확성 결여, 시간 및 공간적 비효율성 문제가 제기되었다. 본 논문은 주관적 평가의 문제 해결을 위해 자동화 평가모델을 제시하였다. 본 논문은 기존 교육과정과 능력단위 요소 간 갭 분석을 위해, 색인어 추출, 단어빈도수-역 빈도수 기반 특징 값 추출, 코사인 유사도 알고리즘을 이용하였다. 또한, 기존 교육과정과 NCS 능력단위요소 사이 유사도 매핑 테이블을 제시하였다. 본 논문의 평가모델은 구조적 특징이나 속도 면에서 개선된 알고리즘을 통해 보완해야 한다.

In this paper crack propagation analyses in the dissimilar metal weldment of a nozzle were performed using a finite element alternating method (FEAM). A two-dimensional axisymmetric finite element nozzle model was prepared and welding simulation including the thermal heat transfer analysis and the thermal stress analysis was performed. Initial cracks were inserted at weld and heat affected zone in the finite element model which has welding residual stress distribution obtained from the welding simulation. To calculate crack propagation trajectories of these cracks, a new fatigue crack evaluation module was developed in addition to the previous FEAM program. With the new FEAM fatigue crack evaluation module, crack propagation trajectory and crack growth time were calculated automatically and effectively.
