Finite-element analysis based on elastic-perfectly plastic material was conducted to examine the influence of structural deformations on collapse loads of circumferential through-wall critically cracked $90^{\circ}$ pipe bends undergoing in-plane closing bending and internal pressure. The critical crack is defined for a through-wall circumferential crack at the extrados with a subtended angle below which there is no weakening effect on collapse moment of elbows subjected to in-plane closing bending. Elliptical and semioval cross sections were postulated at the bend regions and compared. Twice-elastic-slope method was utilized to obtain the collapse loads. Structural deformations, namely, ovality and thinning, were each varied from 0% to 20% in steps of 5% and the normalized internal pressure was varied from 0.2 to 0.6. Results indicate that elliptic cross sections were suitable for pipe ratios 5 and 10, whereas for pipe ratio 20, semioval cross sections gave satisfactory solutions. The effect of ovality on collapse loads is significant, although it cancelled out at a certain value of applied internal pressure. Thinning had a negligible effect on collapse loads of bends with crack geometries considered.

When wall-thinning in a pipe occurs during operation of nuclear power plant, reinforcement of the pipe needs to be performed. Accordingly, the structural response of the piping system due to introduction of the reinforcement may be re-evaluated. For elastic structural analysis of the piping system with the reinforced pipe using finite element (FE) analysis, the stiffness of the reinforced pipe is needed. In this study, the stiffness matrix of wall-thinned pipe with pad reinforcement or composite reinforcement is analytically derived. The validity of the proposed equations is checked by comparing with systematic finite element (FE) analysis results.

선행 연구에서 적외선열화상기법을 이용하여 원전 배관의 감육 결함을 측정하기 위하여, 4 inch 배관에 인공결함을 가공하여 이에 대한 결함 검출을 도출하였다. 본 논문에서는 선행연구에서 도출된 조건을 이용하여 원전 소구경 배관의 결함 검출 조건에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 결함의 가공은 감육 길이, 원주방향 각도, 감육 깊이를 변화시켜서 결함 조건을 가공하였다. 사용된 장비는 IR camera와 1 kW용량의 halogen lamp 2개를 사용하였으며, halogen lamp와 대상 배관과의 거리를 1 m, 1.5 m, 2 m 순으로 변화시켜 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과의 분석을 위하여 온도분포데이터를 확보하고, 이를 분석하여 결함 길이를 측정하였다. 4 inch 배관의 인공결함은 2 m에서 측정 결과의 신뢰도가 높았으나, 소구경 배관은 1.5 m에서 결함이 명확하게 검출되었다.

A combination of flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC) tests and corresponding computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tests were performed to determine the hydrodynamic parameters that could help predict the highly susceptible location to FAC in the elbow section. The accelerated FAC tests were performed on a specimen containing elbow sections fabricated using commercial 2-inch carbon steel pipe. The tests were conducted at flow rates of 9 m/s under the following conditions: water temperature of 150 ℃, dissolved oxygen <5 ppb, and pH 7. Thickness reduction of the specimen pipe due to FAC was measured using ultrasonic testing. CFD was conducted on the FAC test specimen, and the turbulence intensity, and shear stress were analyzed. Notably, the location of the maximum hydrodynamic parameters, that is, the wall shear stress and turbulent intensity, is also the same location with maximum FAC rate. Therefore, the shear stress and turbulence intensity can be used as hydrodynamic parameters that help predict the FAC-induced wall-thinning rate. The results provide a method to identify locations susceptible to FAC and can be useful for determining inspection priority in piping systems.

Fracture behaviors and strength of pipes with local wall thinning are very important Jar the integrity of energy plants. In pipes of energy plants, sometimes, the local wall thinning may result from severe erosion-corrosion damage. Recently, the effects of local wall thinning on strength and fracture behaviors of piping system have been well studied. In this paper, the elasto-plastic analysis is performed by FE code ANSIS. We evaluated the failure mode, fracture strength and fracture behavior from FE analysis.

In general, pipelines at nuclear power plants are affected by various types of degradation mechanisms and may be ruptured after gradually thinning. FAC (Flow-Accelerated Corrosion) is typical aging mechanism affecting the secondary side piping system. In Korea nuclear power plants, CHECWORKS program have been used for management of wall thinning damages. However, sometimes, CHECWORKS program shows wrong results at the stage of NFA (Network Flow Analysis) in case of complex pipelines. This paper describes the calculation results of pressure drop in a complex pipeline and single line by using the CHECWORKS program and the analysis results are compared with those of engineering calculation results including errors between them.

배관 엘보우의 내호면(intrados)의 과 내부에 국부적으로 두께 감육이 발생한 경우, 내압과 엘보우를 닫는 방향으로의 굽힘하중을 부가하여 파손 모드를 연구하였다. 탄소성해석 시 반력-변위 곡선이 세 그룹으로 나뉘므로 각 그룹의 한 경우씩을 해석하여 소성붕괴에 의한 파손모드의 차이를 확인하였다. 이를 위해 주요 부위에서 하중-국부적응력 곡선이 어떻게 변화하는지 결정하여, 이로부터 관찰된 파손모드와 비교하여 설명하였다. 감육폭이 $90^{\circ}$인 경우 배관은 엘보우 측면부터 소성붕괴가 시작되었으며, $360^{\circ}$인 경우 내호면으로부터 소성변형이 시작되어 서로 다른 파손모드를 보여주었다. 배관의 감육측정에 의한 건전성 평가 시 이와 같은 파손 모드의 차이점을 고려하여 평가를 실시하여야 한다.
