In the present paper, multiple interface cracks between a functionally graded orthotropic coating and an orthotropic half-plane substrate under concentrated loading are considered by means of the distribution dislocation technique (DDT). With the use of integration of Fourier transform the problem is reduced to a system of Cauchy-type singular integral equations which are solved numerically to compute the dislocation density on the surfaces of the cracks. The distribution dislocation is a powerful method to calculate accurate solutions to plane crack problems, especially this method is very good to find SIFs for multiple unequal cracks located at the interface. Hence this technique allows considering any number of interface cracks. The primary objective of this paper is to investigate the effects of the interaction of multiple interface cracks, load location, material orthotropy, nonhomogeneity parameters and geometry parameters on the modes I and II SIFs. Numerical results show that modes I/II SIFs decrease with increasing the nonhomogeneity parameter and the highest magnitude of SIF occurs where distances between the load location and crack tips are minimal.

A damage detection algorithm based on neuro fuzzy hybrid system is presented in this study for location and severity predictions of cracks in beam-like structures. A combination of eigenfrequencies and rotation deviation curves are utilized as input to the soft computing technique. Both single and multiple damage cases are considered. Theoretical expressions leading to modal properties of damaged beam elements are provided. The beam formulation is based on Euler-Bernoulli theory. The cracked section of beam is simulated employing discrete spring model whose compliance is computed from stress intensity factors of fracture mechanics. A hybrid neuro fuzzy technique is utilized to solve the inverse problem of crack identification. Two different neuro fuzzy systems including grid partitioning (GP) and subtractive clustering (SC) are investigated for the highlighted problem. Several error metrics are utilized for evaluating the accuracy of the hybrid algorithms. The study is the first in terms of 1) using the two models of neuro fuzzy systems in crack detection and 2) considering multiple damages in beam elements employing the fused neuro fuzzy procedures. At the end of the study, the developed hybrid models are tested by utilizing the noise-contaminated data. Considering the robustness of the models, they can be employed as damage identification algorithms in health monitoring of beam-like structures.

In this paper, numerical solution of the singular integral equation for the multiple curved branch-cracks is investigated. If some quadrature rule is used, one difficult point in the problem is to balance the number of unknowns and equations in the solution. This difficult point was overcome by taking the following steps: (a) to place a point dislocation at the intersecting point of branches, (b) to use the curve length method to covert the integral on the curve to an integral on the real axis, (c) to use the semi-open quadrature rule in the integration. After taking these steps, the number of the unknowns is equal to the number of the resulting algebraic equations. This is a particular advantage of the suggested method. In addition, accurate results for the stress intensity factors (SIFs) at crack tips have been found in a numerical example. Finally, several numerical examples are given to illustrate the efficiency of the method presented.

원자력 발전소의 주요 계통 재료로 사용되는 오스테나이트계 스텐레스강에 대한 초음파탐상은 초음파 에너지가 전파될 경우 재질 자체가 갖는 여러 문제점으로 인하여 결함 위치나 크기 측정에 많은 문제점을 야기한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 이해하기 위하여 여러가지 경우를 가정하여 선 추적(ray tracing) 기법을 사용한 컴퓨터 모의(simulation)를 실시하였다. 우선 종파를 사용하여 모재에 초음파가 입사하여 진행할 시 어느정도의 휘어짐이 발생하는지를 계산하였으며 재질 특성상 용접부와 모재가 큰 차이를 보이지 않는 경우와 원자로 노즐 부위와 같이 서로 다른 금속으로 용접된 경우에 결함이 존재한 경우를 가정하여 계산하였다.

현재 국내 교량 구조물은 지속적으로 증가 및 대형화되고 있으며 그에 따라 공용된 지 30년 이상 된 노후 교량도 꾸준히 늘어나고 있다. 교량 노후화 문제는 국내뿐 아니라 전 세계적으로도 심각한 사회 문제로 다루어지고 있으며, 기존 인력 위주의 점검 방식은 그 한계점을 드러내고 있다. 최근 들어 딥러닝 기반의 영상처리 알고리즘을 활용한 각종 교량 손상탐지 연구가 이루어지고 있지만 교량 손상 데이터 세트의 한계로 인하여 주로 균열 1종에 국한된 교량 손상탐지 연구가 대부분이고, 이 또한 Close set 분류모델 기반 탐지방식으로서 실제 교량 촬영 영상에 적용했을 시 배경이나 기타 객체 등 학습되지 않은 클래스의 입력 이미지들로 인하여 심각한 오인식 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 균열 포함 5종의 교량 손상을 정의 및 데이터 세트를 구축해서 딥러닝 모델로 학습시키고, OpenMax 알고리즘을 적용한 Open set 인식 기반 교량 다중손상 인식 모델을 개발했다. 그리고 학습되지 않은 이미지들을 포함하고 있는 Open set에 대한 분류 및 인식 성능평가를 수행한 후 그 결과를 분석했다.

The analytical solution of two functionally graded layers with Volterra type screw dislocation is investigated under anti-plane shear impact loading. The energy dissipation of FGM layers is modeled by viscous damping and the properties of the materials are assumed to change exponentially along the thickness of the layers. In this study, the rate of gradual change ofshear moduli, mass density and damping constant are assumed to be same. At first, the stress fields in the interface of the FGM layers are derived by using a single dislocation. Then, by determining a distributed dislocation density on the crack surface and by using the Fourier and Laplace integral transforms, the problem are reduce to a system ofsingular integral equations with simple Cauchy kernel. The dynamic stress intensity factors are determined by numerical Laplace inversion and the distributed dislocation technique. Finally, various examples are provided to investigate the effects of the geometrical parameters, material properties, viscous damping and cracks configuration on the dynamic fracture behavior of the interacting cracks.

Steam generator(S/G) tubes in pressurized water reactor (PWR's) are subject to several types of degradation. This degradation includes denting, pitting, intergranular attack(IGA), intergranular stress corrosion cracking(IGSCC), fatigue, fretting and wear. Degradation can be derived from either the primary side(inside) or the secondary side(outside) of the tube. Recent issue for tube degradation in domestic steam generator is the tube end cracking on seal weld region. The seal weld region at the tube end and tube itself is regarded as a pressure boundary between the primary side and the secondary side. One of the Westinghouse Model-F S/G has experienced tube end cracking and its number of plugging approximately becomes to the operating limit up to 5% due to tube end cracking which was reported as SAI/MAI(single/multiple axial indication) or SCI/MCI(Single/multiple circumferential indication) from the results of eddy current testing. Eddy current mock-up test was carried out to determine the origin of cracking whether it is from weld zone area or parent tube. This result was helpful to analyze crack location on ECT data. Correct action on this problem was the installation of tube-end sleeve. Last year, after removing 340 installed plugs from tubes, selected 269 tubes took tube-end sleeve installation. Tube-end sleeve brought pressure boundary from parent tube to installed sleeve tube. Tube-end sleeve has the benefit of reducing outage period and increasing more revenue than replacing S/G. This paper is provided to assist interest parties in effectively understanding this issue.

I형 PSC 거더에 새로운 설계 개념을 도입하여 낮은 형고의 장경간 거더를 설계하고, 실험을 통해서 적용성을 점검하였다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 거더는 복부에 개구부를 도입한 분절형 중공 프리캐스트 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 거더(HWPC거더, Holed Web Prestressed Concrete girders)이다. 이 거더의 설계에는 세 가지 설계 개념이 종합적으로 적용되었다. 먼저 장경간의 거더를 공장에서 프리캐스트로 타설하여 양생을 마친 후에 현장으로 운반하는 방법을 채택하여 현장에서 거더를 제작하는 경우보다 콘크리트의 품질 관리가 용이하게 하여 고강도 및 고성능 콘크리트를 적용하는 것이 가능하게 하였다. 또한 거더를 분절화하여 제작하여 국내의 도로 여건에서도 장경간 거더를 공장에서 현장으로 이동시킬 수 있게 하였다. 이로써 현장에서의 작업 기간도 단축시킬 수 있다. 두 번째로 거더의 복부에 원형의 개구부를 도입하여, 단부 정착장치의 반을 이 개구부 내에 이동하여 분산 배치하여, 분절 거더의 조립에 사용하였다. 개구부에 정착부를 분산 배치하면 단부에 설치되는 정착장치가 줄어들게 되므로 단부에 작용하는 응력이 줄어들게 된다. 아울러 자연스레 단부에 도입되는 휨모멘트는 줄어들고, 중앙부에 큰 휨모멘트가 도입되므로 외력으로 인한 휨모멘트 분포에 더 가까운 형상의 부모멘트를 거더에 도입할 수 있다. 거더에 개구부를 도입하면 거더 자중도 줄어든다. 그리고, 세째로 단부에 설치되는 정착구의 수가 줄기 때문에 단부에서는 다이아프램을 제거하고도 정착이 가능하다. 이렇게 거더의 전 단면에 걸쳐서 같은 폭의 복부폭을 사용하면 거더 제작을 자동화 하는데도 도움이 될 것이다. HWPC거더의 설계 기법을 검증하고, 다단계 긴장의 효과 및 실제교량에 적용할 때 발생할 수 있는 문제점을 고찰하기 위하여 실물 실험을 수행하였다. 길이 50 m, 높이 2 m인 거더 실험체를 분절형과 일체형으로 각각 1개씩 제작하여 휨실험을 수행하고, 결과를 비교하여 분석하였다. 분절형 거더와 일체형 거더는 처짐 및 균열생성 형상에서 근본적으로 유사하였다. 휨 강도, 처짐, 활하중 처짐제한 규정 등이 특정 설계기준을 만족하도록 설계하는 것이 가능하였다.
