  • It is important to set up a reasonable failure criterion for cladding, because being able to determine the cladding integrity during transportation is essential for the evaluation of SNF transportation system. There are a few of measures which can be used as a failure criterion for cladding subjected to its specific failure mode. Therefore, to select and to use appropriate failure criterion measures, i.e. strain(UE), $K_{IC}$, and CSED would be a key in evaluating the cladding integrity during transportation with every aspects. In order to justify and quantify that criterion properly, various experiments for the mechanical properties of the claddings with different conditions shall be implemented, which data will enable to justify the failure criteria proposed.

  • Thick pipes which have large thickness have been used in fields of ocean and industrial plants, and for oil pipelines, water pipes and pipe arrangement. In manufacture of the pipes, roll bending process has been used mostly. However, studies on the pipe forming processes using brake press have been performed in recent days. Normally, the brake press has high aspect ratio, so analysis of structural integrity should be conducted. In this study, the evaluation of structural integrity of the brake bending press was carried out for thick pipe forming process.

  • The instrumented capsule is subjected to flow-induced vibration(FIV) due to the flow of the primary coolant and then the structural integrity of the capsule during irradiation in the HANARO reactor is an issue of major concern. For this purpose the acceleration was measured by four accelerometers attached to the protection tube of the capsule mainbody and the displacement of test holes was calcultated using commercial finite element program ANSYS to evaluate the structural interference with the neighboring flow tubes under the reactor operating condition. The calculated displacements of test holes in the reactor in-core were found to be lower than the values of allowable design criteria.

  • Fire-hited electrical equipment has possibility of deterioration. So its replacement is essential in terms of safety. However, the economic burden is increased. Therefore, the replacement or re-use of it is to be determined by tests. But the research of Integrity Assessment on Fire-hited electrical equipments is very rare. In this paper, we tested to determine the replacement or re-use of Fire-hited vacuum circuit breaker. And provided the data for the integrity assessment through the analysis of its deterioration.

  • Four cylindrically shaped IHXs(Intermediate Heat Exchangers) are installed in the PHTS(Primary Heat Transfer System) of the PGSFR(Prototype Gen IV Sodium cooled Fast Reactor). As for the IHX, the temperature difference of structure is inevitable result caused by heat transfer between primary coolant sodium and IHTS(Intermediate Heat Transport System) sodium. It is necessary to evaluate the high temperature structural integrity of IHXs which operate at the elevated temperature condition over the creep temperature. In this paper, the high temperature structural integrity of IHX under assumed loading conditions has been reviewed according to ASME code.

  • For major structural components periodic inspections and integrity assessments are needed for the safety. However, many flaws are undetectable because sampling inspection is carried out during in-service inspection. Probabilistic integrity assessment is applied to take into consideration of uncertainty and variance of input parameters arise due to material properties and undetectable cracks. This paper describes a Probabilistic Fracture Mechanics(PEM) analysis based on the Monte Carlo(MC) algorithms. Taking a number of sampling data of probabilistic variables such as fracture toughness value, crack depth and aspect ratio of an initial surface crack, a MC simulation of failure judgement of samples is performed. For the verification of this analysis, a comparison study of th PFM analysis using a commercial code, mathematical method is carried out and a good agreement was observed between those results.

  • This paper describes the evaluation of structural integrity and dynamic characteristic of inertial load test equipments for performance test of railway vehicle propulsion control system. The propulsion control system of railway vehicle has to be confirmed of safety and reliability prior to it's application. Therefore, inertial load test equipments were designed through theoretical equation for performance test of propulsion control system. The structural analysis of inertial load test equipments was conducted using Ansys v11.0 and it's dynamic characteristic was evaluated the designed using Adams. The results showed that the structural integrity of inertial load test equipment was satisfied with a safety factor of 10.2. Also, the structural stability was proved by maximum dynamic displacement of 0.82mm.

  • Bogie frame of the electric car is an important structural member for the support of vehicle loading. In general, more than 25 years' durability is necessary. A lot of study has been carried out for the prediction of the structural integrity of the bogie frame in experimental and theoretical domains. The objective of this paper is to estimate the structural integrity of the bogie frame of an electric car, which is under the running test. F.E. analysis of bogie frame was performed to find locations for attaching strain gage and to estimate static stress. Dynamic stress were measured by using strain gage in order to evaluate the structural integrity of the bogie frame.

  • The rapid tactical operation and mobility are getting important to recently developed the guided weapon systems. And military wants multi-purposes equipment to carry the war more easily. So military wants to have the equipment that can apply without any distinction about environment. For this reason, the robust design is getting more important now to guarantee survivability of equipment. In this paper, we try to check about structural integrity of Fire Control Unit(FCU) which is one of the guided weapon system using dynamic FEM analysis.
