In this work, a structural design on horizontal axis wind turbine blade using natural flax fiber composite is performed. The structural design results of flax/epoxy composite blade are compared with the design results of glass/epoxy composite blade. In order to evaluate the structural design of the composite blade, the structural analysis was performed by the finite element method. Through the structural analyses, it is confirmed that the designed blade using natural composite is acceptable for structural safety, blade tip deflection, structural stability, resonance possibility, and weight. Finally, structural test of manufactured blade was performed. Through the structural test, it is confirmed that the designed blade is acceptable.

An evaluation of underwater - repair coating materials was based on the premise that defective areas of the existent epoxy coating such as blistering and cracking will be repaired on spot under submerged condition. Tests include the clarification as to whether they are compatible between as-built coating and new repair coating on each concrete specimen. Candidate coating materials for repair were tested in a laboratory to scrutinize their suitability to perform the needed function satisfactorily. The qualification tests performed are as a minimum as follows: Integrated radiation tolerance test, chemical resistance test (submerged condition in deionized water), hardness test and adhesion test of the repair materials. The proper repair coating materials were selected and approved from this test results.

Mechanical components are to be produced with accurate dimensions in order to function properly in assemblies of a machine. Once designs of mechanical components are created, designers examine the designs by adopting many known experimental methods. A primary test method includes stress and strain evaluation of structural parts. In addition, fatigue test and vibration analysis are an important test method for mechanical components. Real experiments at a laboratory are established when products are manufactured. Since design changes should be done before producing the designs in factories, rapid modifications for new designs are required in production industries. FEM simulation is a proper choice for a design evaluation with speed at a detail stage in design process. This research focuses modeling and mechanical simulation of a mechanical component in order to ensure structural safety. In this paper, a universal joint, being used in driving axels of vehicles, is studied as a target component. A design model is created and tested in some ways by using commercial software of FEM. The designed component is being twisted to transmit heavy power and thus, torsional stress should be under strengths of the component's material. The next is fatigue analysis to convince fatigue cycles to be within the endurance limit of the material. Another test is a vibration analysis for rotational components. This research draws final conclusions from these test analyses and recommends whether the designed model is under safety condition in terms of mechanical structure.

정밀한 구조물의 상태진단 혹은 안전성 평가는 비파괴 시험의 정밀성(Accuracy), 변이성(Variability) 등과 같은 여러 가지 요소에 의하여 좌우된다. 특히 비파괴 시험을 이용한 측정값과 구조물의 상태에 있어서의 불확실성(Uncertainty)은 정밀한 상태진단에 큰 영향을 미친다. 비파괴 시험을 활용함에 있어서의(간접조사) 신뢰할만한 비파괴 장비라면 현 구조물의 상태(피해면적)를 정확하게 나타낼 수 있어야 한다. 본 논문은 현재 사용이 증가되고 있는 비파괴 장비의 올바른 선택과 정확한 구조물의 안전 진단을 위하여, 비파괴장비의 성능 평가에 있어 확률적 기초를 제공한다.

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.

In order to evaluate the grouting effects of water-rich fault in tunnels systematically, a feasible and scientific method is introduced based on the extension theory. First, eight main influencing factors are chosen as evaluation indexes by analyzing the changes of permeability, mechanical properties and deformation of surrounding rocks. The model of evaluating grouting effects based on the extension theory is established following this. According to four quality grades of grouting effects, normalization of evaluation indexes is carried out, aiming to meet the requirement of extension theory on data format. The index weight is allocated by adopting the entropy method. Finally, the model is applied to the grouting effects evaluation in water-rich fault F4-4 of Qingdao Jiaozhou Bay Subsea Tunnel, China. The evaluation results are in good agreement with the test results on the site, which shows that the evaluation model is feasible in this field, providing a powerful tool for systematically evaluating the grouting effects of water-rich fault in tunnels.

본 논문의 목적은 Falling Weight Deflectometer 처짐값을 이용하여 아스팔트 포장체의 구조적 상태 평가기법을 개발하고, 이를 이용하여 포장체 각 층의 구조적 상태 평가기준을 제시함에 있다. 유한요소해석 아스팔트 포장체 구조해석 프로그램을 이용하여 가상적 데이터베이스를 구축하여 포장체의 표면처짐값과 포장체 내부반응과의 상관관계를 도출하였다. FWD 처짐값과 포장체 두께를 이용하여 직접적으로 포장체 내부반응을 계산할 수 있는 아스팔트 포장체의 내부반응 모델을 통계적 회귀분석을 통하여 개발하였다. 개발된 반응모델을 토대로 아스팔트 포장체 각 층의 구조적 상태를 평가하기 위한 절차를 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 평가 절차를 검증하기 위하여 국도 11개와 지방도 8개 노선에서 FWD와 동적관입시험을 수행하였으며, 현장에서 채취한 코어는 아스팔트 시편의 삼축압축반복재하시험을 수행하였다. 연구결과, 아스팔트층의 경우 아스팔트층 하부의 인장변형률값과 회복탄성계수값이 아스팔트 층의 강성 특성을 평가하는 중요한 인자로 판단되었다. 보조기층에서는 BDI값과 보조기층 상부의 압축변형률이 보조기층의 지지력 평가에 적합하였으며, 하부층의 경우 BCI값과 하부층 상부의 압축변형률값이 노상토의 지지력 및 상태를 판단하는데 적절한 인자로 선정되었다. 아스팔트층과 보조기층은 3단계, 하부층은 2단계로 구분하여 아스팔트 포장체의 구조적 상태를 평가 할 수 있는 기준을 제시하였다.

A study on a creep-fatigue crack growth behavior has been carried out for a cylindrical structure with weldments by using a structural test and an evaluation according to the assessment procedures. The creep-fatigue crack growth behavior following the creep-fatigue crack initiation has been assessed by using the French A16 procedure and the conservatism for the present structural test has been examined. The structural specimen is a welded cylindrical shell made of 316 L stainless steel (SS) for one half of the cylinder and 304 SS for the other half. In the creep-fatigue test, the hold time under a tensile load which produces the primary nominal stress of 45 MPa was one hour at $600^{\circ}C$ and creep-fatigue loads of 600 cycles were applied. The evaluation results for the creep-fatigue crack propagation were compared with those of the observed images from the structural test. The assessment results for the creep-fatigue crack behavior according to the French Al6 procedure showed that the Al6 is overly conservative for the creep-fatigue crack propagation in the present case with a short hold time of one hour.
