The present study proposes the integrity evaluation model for a straight pipe with local wall thinning defect, which reflects the characteristics of training shape and loading condition in the Piping of nuclear power plant. For this purpose, a series of finite element analyses are performed under various defect geometries and loading conditions, and real pipe experiment data performed previously is employed. The model includes the effect of thinning length as well as thinning depth and width, and also it considers the combined loading effect between internal pressure and bending moment. The proposed model has been validated using the results of finite element analysis and pipe experiment data. The results indicate that the proposed model provides more reliable predictions of pipe failure than the current existing model, in terms of accuracy, consistency, and conservativeness of results.

This paper presents observer-based controller design for interval type-2 fuzzy system with staircase membership approximation. In type-2 fuzzy case, membership function is itself fuzzy set itself. Thus, type-2 fuzzy system can deal with parametric uncertainties of nonlinear system by capturing the uncertainties in membership function. Likewise, stabilization condition of type-2 fuzzy system is derived from quadratic Lyapunov function, and it goes to linear matrix inequality. Furthermore, in this paper, to relax the conservativeness of stabilization condition, staircase membership function approximating method is applied. Observer-based control method is adopted to control system which has some unmeasurable states. To prove suitability of our proposed method, numerical example is presented.

This paper presents a relaxed stability condition for continuous-time affine fuzzy system using fuzzy Lyapunov function. In the previous studies, stability conditions for the affine fuzzy system based on quadratic Lyapunov function have a conservativeness. The stability condition is considered by using the fuzzy Lyapunov function, which has membership functions in the traditional Lyapunov function. Based on Lyapunov-stability theory, the stability condition for affine fuzzy system is derived and represented to linear matrix inequalities(LMIs). And slack matrix is added to stability condition for the relaxed stability condition. Finally, simulation example is given to illustrate the merits of the proposed method.

In this study, the impact analysis for the steel fender system that designed for protection of collision between vessel and bridge was performed The size of objective collision vessel assumed as 3000 dead weight tonnage(DWT). The impact forces and the impact energies were estimated by formulas of several design codes, and the steel fender system was designed based on the estimated forces and energy. The bow of objective vessel was modeled as rigid body, and bridge substructure was modeled as fixed support. Since, the impact analysis have the dynamic nonlinear features, such as, material nonlinear, large deformation and contact, explicit structural analysis program was used The analysis results presented that the impact forces formulas in codes have the sufficient conservativeness.

We propose a modified mid P-value method to reduce the conservativeness for the inference of conditional associations in three-way contingency tables. This improves the ordinary mfd P-value method. For $2{\times} 2${\times} K$ tables, we propose confidence intervals for an assumed common odds ratio based on inverting two separate one-sided tests using the modified mid P-value. Also, an alternative and usually even better ways of constructing intervals, based on Inverting a two-sided test, are presented. The actual probability of coverage of a 100($1-\alpha$)% confidence interval is centered about the nominal level, but the modified mid P-value approach gives actual coverage probability even closer to the nominal level than the ordinary mid P-value approach.

Robust stable analysis with the system bounded parameteric variation is very important among the various control theory. This study is to investigate the robust stable conditions using the quadratic form Lyapunov function in which the coefficient matrix is affined linear system. The quadratic stability using the quadratic form Lyapunov function is not investigated yet. The Lyapunov unction is robust stable not to be dependent by the variable parameters, which means that the Lyapunov function is conservative. We suggest the robust stable conditions in the Lyapunov function in which the variable parameters are dependent in order to reduce the conservativeness of quadratic stability.

From numerical point of view on flow network system analyses, stagnation properties are not preserved along streamlines across geometric discontinuities. Hence, GJM and DTM using ghost cell and thermodynamic relations are developed to preserve the stagnation enthalpy for the boundaries, such as the interfaces between junction and branches and the interface between two pipes of different cross-sections in serial pipelines. Additionally, the resolving power and efficiencies of the 2nd order Godunov type FV schemes are investigated and estimated by the tracing of the total mechanical energy during calculating rapid transients. Among the approximate Riemann solvers, RoeM is more suitable with the proposed boundary treatments especially for junction than Roe's FDS because of its conservativeness of stagnation enthalpy across geometric discontinuities.

A new quadratic response surface modeling method is presented. In this method, the incomplete small composite design (ISCD) is newly proposed to .educe the number of experimental runs than that of the SCD. Unlike the SCD, the proposed ISCD always gives a unique design assessed on the number of factors, although it may induce the rank-deficiency in the normal equation. Thus, the singular value decomposition (SVD) is employed to solve the normal equation. Then, the duality theory is used to newly develop the conservative least squares fitting (CONFIT) method. This can directly control the ever- or the under-estimation behavior of the approximate functions. Finally, the performance of CONFIT is numerically shown by comparing its'conservativeness with that of conventional fitting method. Also, optimizing one practical design problem numerically shows the effectiveness of the sequential approximate optimization (SAO) combined with the proposed ISCD and CONFIT.

A thermal stratification may occur in the horizontal parts of the surge line during operating transients of the pressurizer, which produces relatively high fatigue usage factor. Heat-up transient is the most severe case among the transient conditions. In this study, to study the relationship between the magnitude of thermal stratification and the length of vertical part of the surge line, some parametric fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analyses with different length variables of the vertical part of the surge line were performed for plant heat-up transient condition by using 3-dimensional numerical analysis. The conservativeness of the traditional finite element model for thermal stratification analysis based on the conservative assumption in the surge line was also discussed by comparison of the results of 3-dimensional transient FSI analysis of this study. Stresses calculated with 3-dimensional transient model were considerably reduced comparing with the traditional analysis.
