본 연구에서는 국내 매설 고압가스배관의 사고빈도 데이터 구축 시 활용할 수 있도록 국외에서 발표하고 있는 고압가스배관 사고빈도 데이터에 대해 고찰 하였다. 고압가스배관 사고빈도 데이터의 대표적인 것으로는 미국의 DOT, 유럽의 EGIG 및 영국의 UKOPA가 있다. 국외 사고빈도 데이터의 국내 적용 가능성을 확인하기 위하여 이들을 비교 분석한 결과 EGIG 데이터가 국내 실정에 더 적합하였다. EGIG 8차 보고서의 사고빈도 데이터를 사용하여 비선형회귀분석을 수행한 결과 배관 설치 연도에 따른 지수형의 곡선을 얻었다. 향후 전체 사고빈도의 약 50%를 차지하고 있는 타공사 부분과 국내 데이터와 국외 데이터의 합성에 대한 집중적인 연구가 필요하다.

This paper is about the study on the failure mode identification of railway signaling embedded system thru which quantitative reliability and safety can be compared reciprocally. Frequency of each failure mode makes possible to compare the reliability of each system and frequency of dangerous failure is used as the measurement standards for system safety. Therefore, this paper provides both reliability-related failure mode and safety-related failure mode by modeling the railway signaling embedded system.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the piping failure frequency for the main feedwater system in domestic nuclear power plants(NPPs) for the application to an in-service inspection(ISI), leak before break(LBB) concept, aging management program(AMP), and probabilistic safety analysis(PSA). First, a database was developed for piping failure events in domestic NPPs, and 23 domestic piping failure events were collected. Among the 23 events, 12 locations of wall thinning due to flow accelerated corrosion(FAC) were identified in the main feedwater system in 4 domestic WH 3-loop NPPs. Two types of the piping failure frequency such as the damage frequency and rupture frequency were considered in this study. The damage frequency was calculated from both the plant population data and damage(s) including crack, wall thinning, leak, and/or rupture, while the rupture frequency was estimated by using both the well-known Jeffreys method and a new method considering the degradation due to FAC. The results showed that the damage frequencies based on the number of the base metal piping susceptible to FAC ranged from $1.26{\times}10^{-3}/cr.yr\;to\;3.91{\times}10^{-3}/cr.yr$ for the main feedwater system of domestic WH 3-loop NPPs. The rupture frequencies obtained from the Jeffreys method for the main feedwater system were $1.01{\times}10^{-2}/cr.yr\;and\;4.54{\times}10^{-3}/cr.yr$ for the domestic WH 3-loop NPPs and all the other domestic PWR NPPs respectively, while those from the new method considering the degradation were higher than those from the Jeffreys method by about an order of one.

The effects on system availability, operation, and support costs were analyzed using the M&S system (MPS). The failure frequency items of current armored vehicles were identified and the MTBF of the identified items was improved. The results of this study suggest that when we reduce the frequency of failure, the availability increases, and the operation and support costs decrease. By improving the reliability of the failure frequency items, it becomes possible to upgrade or develop the weapons systems. Through this study, we confirmed that improving reliability will enhance combat readiness and reduce operation and support costs.

Combination of the parametric and the wavelet analyses of acoustic emission (AE) signals was applied to identify the failure modes in carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite laminates during tensile testing. AE signals detected by surface mounted lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) sensors were analyzed by parametric analysis based on the time of occurrence which classifies AE signals corresponding to failure modes. The frequency band level-energy analysis can distinguish the dominant frequency band for each failure mode. It was observed that the same type of failure mechanism produced signals with different characteristics depending on the stacking sequences and the type of sensors. This indicates that the proposed method can identify the failure modes of the signals if the stacking sequences and the sensors used are known.

This paper attempts to develop the analytical model of estimating the fatigue damage using a linear elastic fracture mechanics method. The stress history on a welding member, when a truck passed over a bridge, was defined as a block loading and the crack closure theory was used. These theories explain the influence of a load on a structure. This study undertook an analysis of the stress range frequency considering both dead load stress and crack opening stress. A probability method applied to stress range frequency distribution and the probability distribution parameters of it was obtained by Maximum likelihood Method and Determinant. Monte Carlo Simulation which generates a probability variants (stress range) output failure block loadings. The probability distribution of failure block loadings was acquired by Maximum likelihood Method and Determinant. This can calculate the fatigue reliability preventing the fatigue failure of a welding member. The failure block loading divided by the average daily truck traffic is a predictive remaining life by a day. Fatigue reliability analysis was carried out for the welding member of the bottom flange of a cross beam and the vertical stiffener of a steel box bridge by the proposed model. Results showed that the primary factor effecting failure time was crack opening stress. It was important to decide the crack opening stress for using the proposed model. Also according to the 50% reliability and 90%, 99.9% failure times were indicated.

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.

This study conducts uniaxial compression tests on intact and single crack-contained rocks to investigate the time-frequency domain characteristics of acoustic emission (AE) signals monitored during the deformation failure process. A processing approach, short-time Fourier transform (STFT), is performed to obtain the evolution characteristics of time-frequency domain of AE signals. The AE signal modes at different deformation stages of rocks are different. Five modes of AE signal are observed during the cracking process of rocks. The evolution characteristics of time-frequency domain of AE signals processed by STFT can be utilized to evaluate the damage process of rocks. The difference of time-frequency domain characteristics between intact and cracked rocks is comparatively analyzed. The distribution characteristics of frequency changing from a single band-shaped cluster to multiple band-shaped clusters can be regarded as an early warning information of damage and failure of rocks. Meanwhile, the attenuation of frequency enables the exploration of rock failure trends.

본 논문에서는 공통원인고장을 고려하여 증기터빈 비산확률을 평가하였다. 이 과정에서 저속 및 고속에서 터빈 비산물 발생 경로를 제시하고, 고장수목을 활용하여 비산물 발생빈도를 구하였다. 공통원인고 장을 고려하기 위해서 Alpha Factor 방법론을 사용하였다. 순차 및 비순차 시험에 대해서 각각의 빈도를 비교분석 하였으며, 불확실성을 평가하였다. (1) 고속회전에 의한 연성파괴로 발생하는 터빈비산물 방출빈도는 8.005E-7/year로 평가되었다. (2) 만약, 공통원인고장이 고려되면, 시험방식에 따라 11% 및 33%의 방출빈도 증가를 확인하였다. (3) 사용된 CCF 변수의 불확실성을 고려하면, 터빈방출빈도는 90%의 신뢰도 기준 9.35E-7에서 1.13E-6 사이에 존재함을 알 수 있었다.
