Seismic probabilistic risk assessment (SPRA) requires a large number of simulations to evaluate the seismic vulnerability of structural and nonstructural components in nuclear power plants. The effect of structural modeling and analysis assumptions on dynamic analysis of 3D and simplified 2D stick models of auxiliary buildings and the attached nonstructural components is investigated. Dynamic characteristics and seismic performance of building models are also evaluated, as well as the computational accuracy of the models. The presented results provide a better understanding of the dynamic behavior and seismic performance of auxiliary buildings. The results also help to quantify the impact of uncertainties associated with modeling and analysis of simplified numerical models of structural and nonstructural components subjected to seismic shaking on the predicted seismic failure probabilities of these systems.

More FOWTs (floating offshore wind turbines) will be installed as relevant regulations and technological hurdles are removed in the coming years. In the present study, a numerical prediction tool has been developed for the fully coupled dynamic analysis of FOWTs in time domain including aero-loading, tower elasticity, blade-rotor dynamics and control, mooring dynamics, and platform motions so that the influence of rotor-control dynamics on the hull-mooring performance and vice versa can be assessed. The developed coupled analysis program is applied to Hywind spar design with 5 MW turbine. In case of spar-type floaters, the control strategy significantly influences the hull and mooring dynamics. If one of the control systems fails, the entire dynamic responses of FOWT can be significantly different. Therefore, it is important to maintain various control systems in a good operational condition. In this regard, the effects of failed blade pitch control system on FOWT performance including structural and dynamic responses of blades, tower, and floater are systematically investigated. Through this study, it is seen that the failure of one of the blade pitch control system can induce significant dynamic loadings on the other blades and the entire FOWT system. The developed technology and numerical tool are readily applicable to any types of floating wind farms in any combinations of irregular waves, dynamic winds, and steady currents.

Dynamic fault tree (DFT) and its related research methods have received extensive attention in safety analysis and reliability engineering. DFT can perform reliability modelling for systems with sequential correlation, resource sharing, and cold and hot spare parts. A technical modelling method of DFT is proposed for modelling ship collision accidents and loss-of-coolant accidents (LOCAs). Qualitative and quantitative analyses of DFT were carried out using the cutting sequence (CS)/extended cutting sequence (ECS) method. The results show nine types of dynamic fault failure modes in ship collision accidents, describing the fault propagation process of a dynamic system and reflect the dynamic changes of the entire accident system. The probability of a ship collision accident is 2.378 × 10^-9 by using CS. This failure mode cannot be expressed by a combination of basic events within the same event frame after an LOCA occurs in a marine nuclear reactor because the system contains warm spare parts. Therefore, the probability of losing reactor control was calculated as 8.125 × 10^-6 using the ECS. Compared with CS, ECS is more efficient considering expression and processing capabilities, and has a significant advantage considering cost.

Wind-induced failure around screwed connections has been documented in roof and wall cladding systems made with steel sheet cold-formed panels during high wind events. Previous research has found that low cycle fatigue caused by stress concentration and fluctuating wind loads is responsible for most such failures. A dynamic load protocol was employed in this work to represent fatigue under wind effects. A finite element model and fatigue criteria were implemented and compared with laboratory experiments in order to predict the fatigue failure associated with fluctuating wind loads. Results are used to develop an analytical model which can be employed for the fatigue analysis of steel cold-formed cladding systems. Existing three dimensional fatigue criteria are implemented and correlated with fatigue damage observed on steel claddings. Parametric studies are used to formulate suitable yet simple fatigue criteria. Fatigue failure is predicted in different configurations of loads, types of connections, and thicknesses of steel folded plate cladding. The analytical model, which correlated with experimental results reported in a companion paper, was validated for the fatigue life prediction and failure mechanism of different connection types and thicknesses of cold-formed steel cladding.

The conventional Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (C-SHPB) technique with aluminum pressure bars to achieve a closer impedance match between the pressure bars and the specimen materials such as hot temperature degraded POM (Poly Oxy Methylene) and PP (Poly Propylene) to obtain more distinguishable experimental signals is used to obtain a dynamic behavior of material deformation under a high strain rate loading condition. An experimental modification with Pulse shaper is introduced to reduce the nonequilibrium on the dynamic material response during a short test period to increase the rise time of the incident pulse for two polymeric materials. For the dynamic stress strain curve obtained from SHPB experiment under high strain rate, the Johnson-Cook model is applied as a constitutive equation, and we verify the applicability of this constitutive equation to the probabilistic reliability estimation method. The methodology to estimate the reliability using the probabilistic method such as the FORM and the SORM has been proposed, after compose the limit state function using Johnson-Cook model. It is found that the failure probability estimated by using the SORM is more reliable than those of the FORM, and the failure probability increases with the increase of applied stress. Moreover, it is noted that the parameters of Johnson-Cook model such as A and n, and applied stress affect the failure probability more than the other random variables according to the sensitivity analysis.

동적 위치제어 시스템(Dynamic Positioning System)의 위험성과 신뢰성 평가에 FMEA(Failure Mode and Effect Analysis)를 적용하고 있으나, 해양 프로젝트가 가진 특징으로 인해 다음과 같은 한계를 가진다. 1) SCADA(Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) 시스템을 통해 수집되는 고장 데이터의 일부는 환경의 영향으로 인한 오작동이나 단순한 센서고장으로 인해 생성되는 데이터를 포함하고 있으므로 불완전하고 신뢰할 수 없다. 따라서, FMEA의 세 가지 변수인 심각도(Severity), 발생빈도(Occurrence), 검출빈도(Detection)의 평가는 전문가 지식에 근거한다. 2) 전문가들의 주관적인 판단에 전적으로 의존할 경우 위험 요소들을 정밀하게 평가하기 어렵다. 3) 위험 요소들 사이의 상대적인 중요도는 고려되지 않아 위험우선순위가 명료하게 표현되지 않는다. 4) 서로 다른 고장모드에 대해 동일한 위험 우선순위 값을 가질 경우 상대적인 중요도를 판단하기 어렵다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하고 기존의 FMEA의 효과를 높이기 위해, Fuzzy-FMEA를 제안하고, 선박/해양 프로젝트의 동적 위치제어 시스템의 FMEA 문서에 적용하였다. 본 논문은 DP FMEA, DP FMEA 입증 시험서(DP FMEA Proving Trials)에 나타낸 전문가 지식을 퍼지 모델로 구현하여 FMEA 위험우선순위(RPN; Risk Priority Number)에 위험요소들의 상대적인 중요성을 포함시켰다. 제안한 방법은 해양 프로젝트의 동적 위치제어 시스템의 기계 및 전장 장비에 적용하여 기존의 FMEA와 비교하였다.

구조물의 파괴 거동은 하중의 재하 속도에 따라 달라지는 특성을 보이는데, 이는 재료의 속도 의존성으로부터 비롯된다고 할 수 있다. 이러한 현상은 공학의 여러 분야에서 관심사였지만, 파괴 메커니즘이 명확히 규명되지 않았기 때문에 수치 해석을 통한 연구에는 그 한계점과 어려움이 상존하였다. 본 연구에서는 파괴 거동의 속도 의존성을 이해하고자, 취성재료를 대상으로 입자동역학을 이용한 수치해석을 수행하였다. 직접 인장 시험 시뮬레이션을 위해 노치가 있는 시편을 모델링하고, 취성재료가 갖는 특성을 표현하기 위해 Lennard-Jones 포텐셜을 사용하였다. 6가지의 다른 하중 속도에 따른 균열의 거칠기, 균열의 후퇴와 멈춤, 분기 현상과 같은 동적 파괴 특성을 관찰하였다. 해석 결과를 통해 하중 속도에 따른 파괴 거동의 변화 원인을 에너지 유입-소모율의 개념을 도입하여 설명하고, 재료의 파괴 메커니즘이 갖는 속도 의존성에 대해 이해할 수 있는 단초를 마련하였다. 또한, 기존 실험과의 비교를 통해 실제적인 현상과의 유사성을 밝힘으로써 입자동역학의 공학적 적용 가능성을 제시하였다.

This paper is deals with the preventive replacement for the equipment which fails only when the total amount of damage reaches a prespecified failure level. Most of replacement model use time as their decision variable, but it is not appropriate for the cases in which failures dependent on their cumulative damage levels. In this paper, a new type preventive replacement model is introduced in which an equipment is replaced before failure when the cumulative damage reaches a certain level or replaced on failure, whichever occures first. The optimal replacement damage levels which minimize total expected cost are obtained by the Dynamic programming Method when the number of use of the equipment is finite. A numerical example is also presented. The optimal preventive replacement policy when the equipment will be used for a finite time span is also discussed.
