Based on plastic instability, analytical prediction of bursting failure on tube hydroforming processes under combined infernal pressure and independent axial feeding is carried out. Bursting is irrecoverable phenomenon due to local instability under excessive tensile stresses. In order to predict the bursting failure, three different classical necking criteria such as diffuse necking criterion for sheet and tube, local necking criterion for sheet are introduced. The incremental theory of plasticity for anisotropic material is adopted and then the hydroforming limit and bursting failure diagram with respect to axial feeding and hydraulic pressure are presented. In addition, the influences of the material properties such as anisotropy Parameter, strain hardening exponent and strength coefficient on bursting Pressure are investigated. As results of the above approach, the hydroforming limit in view of bursting failure is verified with experimental results.

제품의 수명시험 전에 소요될 시험시간을 대강이라도 예측할 수 있으면 비용을 측정하여 시험을 어떻게 진행할지 판단하는데 도움이 된다. 기계부품의 경우의 신뢰도예측은 시스템의 고장 혹은 열화 메커니즘이 복잡하고 보편적인 데이터베이스가 존재하지 않기 때문에 수행이 난해하다. 본 연구는 유압 액추에이터와 공압 액추에이터에 각각 설치되는 탄성 U 형 씰을 대상으로 수명예측을 NSWC에서 제안하는 고장물리를 고려한 고장률 모형과 현장 데이터베이스를 활용하여 수행하였다. 그 결과들을 검증하기 위해 예측된 수명과 시험된 수명데이터들을 비교하였다. 본 연구는 고장률 모형에 포함된 각종 계수 값들을 결정하는 과정과 씰의 수명에 영향을 주는 인자들의 개별 민감도를 분석하고 그 미비점을 고찰하였다.

Hydraulic reciprocating seals have been widely used to prevent fluid leakage and to provide lubricant film on counter surface in various hydraulic system. The degradation of the seal may cause the catastrophic failure of the hydraulic system. To assess the durability of the seals and the compatibility with counter surface, accelerated life testing (ALT) has been typically employed from industry. However, ALT often takes up to a few months to cause a failure of the seals, and therefore, there is a need to develop more efficient ALT methods. In this work, the degradation characteristics of polyurethane (PU) seals from field test are investigated and they are compared to those from the component and bench tests, with an aim to contribute to the development of ALT method. From the comparison of the cross-sectional profiles of the sealing surface of the PU specimens before and after the tests, both wear and compression set are found to be responsible for degradation of the PU seals. It is also shown that the major wear mechanisms of the PU seals from the field is abrasive wear and formation of pits. The component and bench tests performed in this work are shown to reproduce such wear mechanisms, and therefore, those test methods can be used as an ALT method for PU seals. In particular, the bench test proposed in this work may be effectively utilized to assess the durability and the compatibility of the seals with the counter surface. The results of this work are expected to aid in the design of ALT for PU seal.

Jet flow can occur by gate opening at downstream of a hydraulic structure such as weir of drainage gate. If the stream bed is not hard or the bed protection is not sufficient, vortex erosion occurs and a resulting scour hole will be formed due to the high shear stress of the jet flow. Once the scour hole is formed, a vortex occurs in ti and this vortex causes additional erosion. If this erosion continues and reaches to the hydraulic structure, it can undermine the bottom of the hydraulic structure and this will lead to failure of the structure itself. Thus, it is necessary to define the physical features of the vortex structure in the scour hole for the design of the bed protection. This study presents the turbulent vortex structure in the scour hole by the gate opening of the hydraulic structure. Characteristics of vortex motion, circulation, vortex scale and vortex were analyzed through experiments. Experimental results of the vortex velocity were compared with theoretical ones. From these, circulation and vortex scale were obtained with known values of inflow depth, inflow velocity and scale of scour hole

Many hydraulic structures are damaged by under flood flow and storm waves year after year. Many cases of dike and breakwater failure are caused by the suck out of sand from behind the revetment. This type of failure will be in close relation to the dynamic behavior of sand bed around the revetment. In this paper, from this point of view we investigated the basic characteristics of such sand movement by small model tests and tried to explanation the hydro- and soil mechanical mechanism of this phenomenon theoretically.

Current code procedures for stress and stability analysis of new and existing concrete-gravity dams are primarily based on conventional methods of analysis. Such methods can be applied in a straightforward manner but there has been evidence that they may be inaccurate or, possibly, not conservative. This paper presents finite element modeling and analysis procedures and makes recommendations for local failure criteria at the dam-rock interface aimed at predicting more accurately the behavior of dams under hydraulic and anchoring loads.

In this paper, a reliability-groundwater flow program is developed by coupling the 2-D finite element numerical groundwater flow program with first and second order reliability program. From the parametric study of hydraulic conductivity of soil layers, the increase of both mean and variance of hydraulic conductivity results in the increase of probability of exceeding the threshold hydraulic head. The probability of failure was more sensitive to parameters of weathered granitic soil and rock located at the middle and bottom of the excavation than those at the other locations. It can be recommended from this study that the reliability method, which can include the uncertainty of soil parameters, should be performed together with the deterministic analysis to compensate the weakness of the latter analysis for the groundwater flow problem of underground excavations.

Turbine power control devices at a nuclear / thermoelectric power plant lead to failure by creating mechanical shocks and strong vibrations that are due to the strong elasticity of a spring and the inertia of the valve face during its rapid movement to block steam. To ensure durability of the turbine power control device, which is the main component in the power plant, it is necessary to develop a device that can prevent such vibrations. In this study, a cushion mechanism is added to the head of the hydraulic servo actuator, which is a turbine power control device. Moreover, the cushion mechanism, which includes various modifies shapes and orifices is investigated dynamically through modeling and simulations.

The morphological analysis of wear debris can provide early a failure diagnosis in lubricated moving system. It can be effective to analyze operating conditions of oil-lubricated tribological system with shape characteristics of wear debris in a lubricant. But, in order to predict and recognize an operating condition of lubricated machine, it is needed to analyze and to identify shape characteristics of wear debris. Therefore, If the morphological characteristics of wear debris are recognized by computer image analysis using the neural network algorithm, it is possible to recognize operating condition of hydraulic driving members. In this study, wear debris in the lubricating oil are extracted by membrane filter (0.45 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$), and the quantitative values of shape parameters of wear debris are calculated by the digital image processing. This shape parameters are studied and identified by the artificial neural network algorithm. The result of study could be applied to prediction and to recognition of the operating condition of hydraulic driving members in lubricated machine systems.

A case history is presented pertaining to piping fatigue by vibrations and sustain stresses in the hydraulic oil supply system for control valves in a 200MW thermal power plant that ultimately resulted in pipe rupture. The Piping was designed to supply the hydraulic oil for turbine control valves. Testing and analyses were performed on the system to develop solution to repair work on failures.
