본 연구에서는 액화천연가스(LNG 즉 Liquefied Natural Gas) 저장탱크의 보강재(stiffener) 설계를 위한 주요 설계인자들의 특성을 파악하고 구조 최적설계를 수행하였다. 보강재가 결합된 LNG 저장탱크의 내조는 외부의 펄라이트(perlite)의 압력에 의해 좌굴되지 않도록 설계되는데, 기존의 보강재 설계방법에서는 펄라이트 압력이 내조 높이에 무관하게 동일하다고 가정하여, 보강재의 과도한 설계를 초래하였다. 본 연구에서는 펄라이트의 물성값에 따른 펄라이트 압력분포의 영향을 살펴보았고, 최적설계를 통해 기존 설계보다 보강재의 재료비용이 15.3% 절감됨을 알 수 있었다.

An airbag is composed of housing assembly, door assembly, cushion assembly, and an inflator. The inflator is the essential part that generates gas for airbag. When an airbag is activated, it effectively absorbs the crash energy of the passenger by inflating a cushion. In this study, tank tests were performed with newly synthesized propellants with various compositions, and the results are compared with the numerical results. In the simulation of inflator, a zonal model has been adopted which consisted of four zones of flow regions: combustion chamber, filter, gas plenum, and discharge tank. Each zone was described by the conservation equations with specified constitutive relations for gas. The pressure and temperature of each zone of the inflator were calculated and analyzed and the results were compared with the tank test data. In the zone of discharge tank the pressure quickly rose, the pattern of pressure curve was very similar to the pressure curve of real test. And in zone 1 & 2 & 3 the mass of products was increased and decreased with time. In zone 4, the mass of products was increased with time like real inflator. From the similarity of pressure curve in zone 4 and closed bomb calculation the modeled results are well correlated with the experimental values.

Recently, Type 2 high-pressure hydrogen storage tank is studied due to fast defect detection, easy manufacturing, and cost efficiency. Moreover, the dry winding a high-strength metal wire will make increased economic efficiency compare with the wet winding method and the carbon/glass fiber winding method. In this study, a theoretical study on the dry winding of a Type 2 high pressure hydrogen tank using a metal wire was done, and the equations of the total stress on the aligned and the staggered winding for the hoop winding were derived, and the following results were obtained by using these equations. As the diameter of the metal wire, the number of winding layers, and the outer diameter of the liner increase, the maximum stress decreases, but the difference between the maximum stress occurring in the aligned winding and the staggered winding increases. As the pressure increases, the thickness of the winding layer increases, but as the strength of the metal wire increases, the thickness of the winding layer decreases. In addition, regardless of the strength of the metal wire, the thickness of the winding layer of the staggered winding was about 13.4% thinner than that of the aligned winding.

수소자동차용기에 높은 압력(70 MPa)의 수소를 빨리 완전 충전하는 것은 쉽지 않다. 그 이유는 줄-톰슨효과 등에 의해 발생하는 열로 인하여 용기내의 온도가 급속히 상승하기 때문이다. 미국의 SAE J2601, 일본의 JPEC-S 0003 같은 충전프로토콜이 제정되어 운영되고 있다. 그러나 이들 프로토콜에는 수많은 가정이 도입되어 내용이 너무 복잡하고 적용범위가 제한적이라는 문제가 있다. 이 연구는 완벽한 실시간 통신에 기반한 새로운 프로토콜을 개발하기 위해서 수행되었다. 이 연구에서는 수소충전 시뮬레이션 프로그램을 이용하여 압력상승률이 자동차용기내의 온도 및 압력 상승과 충전유속에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 살펴보았다. 그 결과 압력상승률 결정 시 우선 고려하여야 할 매개변수는 자동차 용기의 온도라는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Hydroelastic effects on sloshing phenomena in a rectangular tank are numerically investigated. The dimension of the tank is $1000mm{\times}600mm$, and the filling ratio of water is 20% of tank height. One of the side walls of tank is assumed to be flexible. The tank is excited into sway motion with amplitude of 100mm and frequency of 0.53Hz that is first natural frequency of water inside the tank. Prediction results for time histories of pressure and displacement of flexible and rigid walls are compared to quantitatively assess hydroelastic effects on sloshing phenomena.

A fuel tank of a vehicle is an important part due to its flammable contents ant its importance during crash conditions. Therefore, the fuel tank's design should be assessed for durability and robustness to ensure safety during the early development phase. Previously, evaluation for the durability was done by testing in physical driving conditions which could only be done after the completion of the vehicle. Computation simulation is a more effective method to evaluate the strength and durability of the fuel tank during the early stage. In this paper, two outstanding computational simulation methods are studied. One evaluates PV cycle fatigue due to build up pressure in the fuel tank and the other evaluates the PSD vibration fatigue from modal characteristics. The results show that computational methods agree with physical tests and are thus suitable to analyze the strength and durability of the fuel tank at early development phase.

we performed the underwater explosion analysis for the liquefied oxygen tank - a kind of fuel tank of a mid-size submarine, and tried to verify the structural safety for this structure. First, we reviewed the theory and application of underwater explosion analysis using Structure-Fluid Interaction technique and its finite element modeling scheme. Next, we modeled the explosive and sea water as fluid elements, the LOX tank as structural elements and the interface between two regions as ALE scheme. The effect on shock pressure and impulse of fluid mesh size and shape are also investigated. As the analysis result, the shock pressure due explosion propagated into the water region and hit the structure region. The plastic deformation and the equivalent stress highly appeared at the web frame and the shock mount of LOX structure, but these values were acceptable for design criteria.

This paper addresses the safety of two-row tank design by performing the extensive sloshing model tests. Owing to the uncertainties entangled with the scale law transforming the measured impact pressure up to the full scale one, so called comparative approach was taken to derive the design sloshing load. The target design vessel was chosen as 230 K LNG-FPSO with tow-row tank arrangement and the reference vessel as 138 K conventional LNG carrier, which has past track record without any significant failure due to sloshing loads. Starting with the site-specific metocean data, ship motion analysis was carried out with 3D diffraction-radiation program, then the obtained ship motion data was used as 6DOF tank excitation for subsequent sloshing model test and analysis. The statistical analysis was carried out with obtained peak data and the long-term sloshing load was determined out of it. It was concluded that the normalized sloshing impact pressure on 230 K LNG-FPSO with two-row tank arrangement is higher than that of convectional LNG carrier, hence requires the use of reinforced cargo containment system for the sake of failure-free operation without filling limitation.

This study aims at investigating the effect of the chamfer on the liquid sloshing in the three-dimensional (3D) rectangular tank. In order to simulate the 3D incompressible viscous two-phase flow in the 3D tank with partially filled liquid, the present study has adopted the volume of fluid (VOF) method based on the finitevolume method which has been well verified by comparing with the results of the relevant previous researches. The effects of the chamfering top corners of the tank on the liquid sloshing characteristics have been investigated. The angle of the chamfering top corners (${\theta}$) has been changed in the range of $0^{\circ}{\leq}{\theta}{\leq}60^{\circ}$(${\Delta}{\theta}=15^{\circ}$) to observe the free surface behavior, and the effect on wall impact load. Generally, as the angle of the chamfering top corners increases, the impact pressure on the upper knuckle point decreases. However it seemed that a critical angle of the chamfering top corners exists to reveal the lowest impact pressure on the wall.
