The reliability of the spent fuel pool instrument is very important for the security of nuclear power plant, especially during the earthquake. The effect of the fluid force on the vibration characteristics of the flexible tube of the spent fuel pool instrument needs comprehensive analysis. In this paper, based on the potential flow theory, the hydrodynamic pressures acting on the flexible tube were obtained. A mathematical model of a flexible tube was constructed to obtain the dynamic response considering the effects of seismic load and fluid force, and a computer code was written. Based on the mathematical model and computer code, the maximum stresses of the flexible tube in both safe shutdown earthquake and operating basis earthquake events on the spent fuel pool with three typical water levels were calculated, respectively. The results show that the fluid force has an obvious effect on the stress and strain of the flexible tube in both safe shutdown earthquake and operating basis earthquake events.

In this paper, we propose a method to identify the parameters of a rotorcraft slung load system using the modal characteristics of a flexible cable. The proposed method estimates the length of the cable and the mass of the payload by means of a frequency analysis. Dynamic equations of the slung load system with the flexible cable are derived using Udwadia-Kalaba equation (UKE) in order to build a simulation program, and the similarity of the simulated slung load movement is verified by comparison with flight test results. Using the computer simulation program, we show that the proposed method works well within various parameter ranges.

부유식 해상풍력발전기의 시뮬레이션을 위해서 본 연구에서는 2MW 육상 풍력발전기에 부유구조물인 Tension Leg Platform(TLP) 구조를 추가하였다. 기상청 관측데이터와 해수면으로부터의 높이에 대해 풍속을 정의하는 지수법칙을 이용하여 풍하중을 산출하고 블레이드와 타워에 일정한 높이간격으로 적용하였다. 상대모리슨 방정식을 이용하여 파랑하중을 모델링하였다. 블레이드의 회전속도를 정격속도인 18rpm 으로 고려하고, 풍하중과 파랑하중 작용 시 2MW의 부유식 해상풍력기의 동적거동 해석을 수행하였다. 파랑하중에 대한 해상풍력기의 공진특성을 조사하기 위해 타워와 블레이드의 탄성체 모델을 구성하여 해상풍력기의 고유진동수를 계산하였다. 타워와 블레이드의 탄성효과가 해상풍력기의 거동에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 타워만 탄성체로 구성된 탄성타워모델과 타워와 블레이드가 탄성체로 고려된 탄성타워 블레이드모델을 각각 강체 모델과 비교하였다.

In this paper, linear buckling analysis of a curved sandwich beam with a flexible core is investigated. Derivation of equations for face sheets is accomplished via the classical theory of curved beam, whereas for the flexible core, the elasticity equations in polar coordinates are implemented. Employing the von-Karman type geometrical non-linearity in strain-displacement relations, nonlinear governing equations are resulted. Linear pre-buckling analysis is performed neglecting the rotation effects in pre-buckling state. Stability equations are concluded based on the adjacent equilibrium criterion. Considering the movable simply supported type of boundary conditions, suitable trigonometric solutions are adopted which satisfy the assumed edge conditions. The critical uniform load of the beam is obtained as a closed-form expression. Numerical results cover the effects of various parameters on the critical buckling load of the curved beam. It is shown that, face thickness, core thickness, core module, fiber angle of faces, stacking sequence of faces and openin angle of the beam all affect greatly on the buckling pressure of the beam and its buckled shape.

In designing a high performance electrohydraulic control system for a large flexible structure, several flexible structural modes should be taken into account in a range of hydraulic control system bandwidth. The procedures of modeling a flexible mode control system and designing the high pass filter of load pressure feedback are presented. Example analysis varifies the presented analysis.

The dynamic stress of the diesel engine block is analyzed by using flexible-body dynamic analysis. Multiple loadings including the pressure load due to gas combustion, thermal load, and dynamic load are considered. Thermal load is assumed constant, however, pressure load and dynamic load are treated as time dependent. The present work is focused on the dynamic stress analysis, especially on finding critical points of the engine block. The analysis model includes four parts - engine block, generator, bed, and mounts. On the other hand, crank shaft, pistons, and main bearings are excluded from the model. However, their dynamic effects are applied by dynamic forces, obtained in the separate analysis. Dynamic stress is found by using flexible body dynamic analysis, and compared to the measured data.

Using the nonlinear load transfer function for pile side soil and the linear load transfer function for pile end soil, a combined approach of the incremental load transfer matrix method and the approximate differential equation solution method is presented for the nonlinear analysis of interaction between flexible pile group and soil. The proposed method provides an effective approach for the solution of the nonlinear interaction between flexible pile group under rigid platform and surrounding soil. To verify the accuracy of the proposed method, a static load test for a nine-pile group under a rigid platform is carried out. The finite element analysis is also conducted for comparison purposes. It is found that the results from the proposed method match very well with those from the experimental test and are better in comparison with the finite element method.

Recently, flexible cages have been introduced in an attempt to absorb and reduce the abnormal load transfer along the anterior parts of the spine. They are designed to be used with the pedicle screw systems to allow some mobility at the index level while containing ROM at the adjacent level. In this study, a finite element (FE) study was performed to assess biomechanical efficacies of the flexible cage when combined with pedicle screws with flexible rods. The post-operated models were constructed by modifying the L4-5 of a previously-validated 3-D FE model of the intact lumbar spine (L2-S1): (1) Type 1, flexible cage only; (2) Type 2, pedicle screws with flexible rods; (3) Type 3, interbody fusion cage plus pedicle screws with rigid rods; (4) Type 4, interbody fusion cage plus Type 2; (5) Type 5, Type 1 plus Type 2. Flexion/extension of 10 Nm with a compressive follower load of 400N was applied. As compared to the Type 3 (62~65%) and Type 4 (59~62%), Type 5 (53~55%) was able to limit the motion at the operated level effectively, despite moderate reduction at the adjacent level. It was also able to shift the load back to the anterior portions of the spine thus relieving excessively high posterior load transfer and to reduce stress on the endplate by absorbing the load with its flexible shape design features. The likelihood of component failure of flexble cage remained less than 30% regardless of loading conditions when combined with pedicle screws with flexible rods. Our study demonstrated that flexible cages when combined with posterior dynamic system may help reduce subsidence of cage and degeneration process at the adjacent levels while effectively providing stability at the operated level.

Recently, the development of mobile devices demands information storage systems to use micro drive devices. 1-inch micro drive hard disk uses the load/unload(L/UL) technology to increase area recording density and reduce power consumption. Because micro drive has light actuator, effects of the flexible cable that is ignored in 3.5-inch hard disk drive is important to load/unload performances. In this paper, effects of flexible cable on load/unload performances are studied.
