Failure of tube bundles due to excessive flow-induced vibrations continues to affect the performance of nuclear power plant Early experimental studies concentrated on rigid structures and later investigators dealt with elastic structures because of their importance in many engineering fields. On the other hand, much less numerical work has been carried out, because of the numerical complexity associated with the problem. Conventional approaches usually decoupled the flow solution from the structural problem. The present numerical study proposes the methodology in analyzing the fluidelastic instability occurring in tube bundles by coupling the Computational fluid Dynamics (C%) with the tube equation of motions. The motion of the structures is modeled by a spring-damper-mass system that allows transnational motion in two directions (a two-degree-of-freedom system). The fluid motion and the cylinder response are solved in an iterative way, so that the interaction between the fluid and the structure can be accounted for property. The aim of the present work is to predict the fluidelstic instability of tube bundles and the associated phenomena, such as the response of the cylinder, the unsteady lift and drag on the cylinder, the vortex shedding frequency.

썬루프 버페팅 현상은 차량 주행시 발생하는 주요 바람소리 문제점 중 하나이다. 버페팅 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 전산 해석을 적용한다면, 실험적 방법보다 비용을 절감할 뿐 아니라 발생 원리 또한 규명할 수 있다. 그러나 전산 해석을 이용하기 위해서는 해석 결과의 정확성이 보장되어야 실제 차량 개발에 적용할 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 해석적 방법의 정확도 향상을 위해 주요 상업용 전산해석 소프트웨어들의 썬루프 버페팅 현상 예측에 대한 벤치마크 테스트를 수행하였다. 해석 대상은 차량의 형상을 간략하게 만든 HSM(Hyundai simplified model)을 이용하였고, 정확도 비교를 위해 속도별 버페팅 현상에 대한 실험을 현대자동차 공력무향풍동에서 실차내부의 흡음재에 의한 효과를 해석적으로 고려하기 위해 음향 응답 실험을 수행하여 해석 결과 정확도 향상을 위해 각 상용 소프트웨어 제작사에 해석 전에 제공 하였다. 이 연구를 통해 대부분의 상용 소프트웨어들이 실험결과와 유사한 해석 결과를 도출하였다. 또한, 실제 차량 개발에서 적용하기 위한 해석 예측 우선순위를 서로 공유하여 추가 해석을 통해 차량 개발에 적용 가능한 보다 정밀한 해석 정확도를 얻어낼 수 있었다.

This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of the nonlinear modelling techniques available today for describing the structural behaviour of masonry infills and their interaction with frame structures subjected to in-plane loads. Following brief overviews on the behaviour of masonry-infilled frames and on the results of salient experimental tests, three modelling approaches are discussed in more detail: the micro, the meso and the macro approaches. The first model considers each of the infilled frame elements as separate: brick units, mortar, concrete and steel reinforcement; while the second approach treats the masonry infill as a continuum. The paper focuses on the third approach, which combines frame elements for the beams and columns with one or more equivalent struts for the infill panel. Due to its relative simplicity and computational speed, the macro model technique is more widely used today, though not all proposed models capture the main effects of the frame-infill interaction.

연료전지의 박막면은 공기판에 비해 변형이 쉬운 재질로 이루어져 있다. 박막면의 구조적 변형에 따라 채널 단면의 형상이 바뀔 수 있고, 채널의 형상이 변하면 유통특성은 크게 달라질 수 있다. 연료전지의 공기판을 설계할 때에 유동 특성은 성능을 좌우하는 중요한 요소이다. 설계된 공기판의 검증을 위해서는 유동 특성을 파악하고, 유동 특성이 효율적인 성능을 갖기 위한 조건을 만족시키는가를 알아보아야 한다. 본 연구에서는 공기판의 유동 특성을 파악하기 위해 유동해석을 수행하였고, 동일한 조건에서의 실험을 수행하여 해석결과를 검증하였다. 그리고 박막면의 구조적 변형에 의한 유동 특성의 변화를 알아보기 위하여 박막면과 공기판의 구조해석을 수행한 결과를 이용하여 박막면의 구조적 변형을 고려한 유동해석을 수행하여 박막면의 구조적 변형을 고려하지 않은 유동해석의 결과와 그 특성을 비교하였다. 그 결과 상당한 차이가 발생함을 알 수 있었다. 연료전지의 설계를 위해 해석 및 실험시 구조변형이 고려되어야 함을 규명할 수 있다.

In this paper, some crucial performance characteristics related to the operational reliability of the post-fault Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) rectifiers, such as line current harmonic distortion, Common Mode Voltage (CMV), and current stress on the capacitors, are fully investigated. The aforementioned performance characteristics of post-fault rectifiers are highly dependent on the utilized space vector modulation (SVM) schemes, which are also examined. Detailed analyses of the three most commonly used SVM schemes for post-fault PWM rectifiers are provided, revealing the major differences in terms of the zero vector synthesis approaches. To compare the performances of the three SVM schemes, the operating principles of a post-fault rectifier are presented with various SVM schemes. Using analytical and numerical methods in the time domain, the performances of the line current distortion, common mode voltage and capacitor current are evaluated and compared for each SVM scheme. The proposed analysis demonstrates that the zero vector synthesis approaches of the considered methods have significant impacts on the performance characteristics of rectifiers. In addition, the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed SVM schemes are discussed. The experimental results verify the effectiveness and validity of the proposed analysis.

The behaviour of steel frames is highly influenced by the beam-column connections. Traditionally, Steel frames were usually designed assuming that connections are ideally pinned or fully rigid. A semi-rigid connection, however, creates a balance between the two extreme approaches mentioned above. In this research, two full scales of Extended End Plate Connections (EEPCs) were tested. Mathematical and numerical models were used to analyse the connections, and close correlations were found between these models and the corresponding tested specimens, which confirmed the confidence in the experimental results. The experimental results obtained enrich the available test data about behaviour of EEPC. In addition, the purpose of studying EEPC experimentally is to compare the stiffness and moment-rotation curve of EEPCs with that of Cap Plate Connections (CPCs), which were tested in a previous work. CPCs have not been studied sufficiently in the literature. The results obtained show that the typical CPC reduces the connection stiffness and these results will make a valuable contribution to the available test data in the research area of CPC.

In the engine room and the aft part areas of the ship, there exist so many tank structures contacting with fresh water or sea water or oil. If these structures exhibit excessive vibrations during the sea trials, it takes a lot of cost, time and effort to improve vibration situation because the reinforcement work requires emptying the fluid out of the tanks, additional welding and special painting. It is therefore very important to predict a precise vibration characteristics of the tank structures at the design stage, however it is not easy to estimate vibration characteristics of the structures because of difficulties for accurate evaluation of the added (or virtual) mass effect due to the fluid inside the tank. In this paper, numerical and experimental approaches have been performed to present same fundamental data necessary for anti-vibration design of tank structures contacting with fluid, by investigating vibration behaviors of rectangular tank structure for various water depths.

Experimental and numerical approaches on the thermal fatigue for the solder joint of flip chip package are discussed. However, it is one of the most difficult problems to choose the proper fatigue model. It was found that viscoplstic FE model with Darveaux method was very desirable and useful to predict the thermal fatigue life of solder joint for flip chip package under $208{\~}423K$ thermal cycling condition such as steep slope of temperature(JEDEC standard condition C). Thermal fatigue life was 1075 cycles as a result of viscoplatic model. It was a good agreement compared to the experimental. And also, it was found from the experimental that probability of the thermal fatigue life was $60{\%}$ at 1500 cycles.

The hydrogen behavior in a nuclear containment vessel is a significant issue when discussing the potential of hydrogen combustion during a severe accident. After the Fukushima-Daiichi accident in Japan, we have investigated in-depth the hydrogen transport mechanisms by utilizing experimental and numerical approaches. Computational fluid dynamics is a powerful tool for better understanding the transport behavior of gas mixtures, including hydrogen. This paper describes a Large-eddy simulation of gas mixing driven by a high-buoyancy flow. We focused on the interaction behavior of heat and mass transfers driven by the horizontal high-buoyant flow during density stratification. For validation, the experimental data of the Containment InteGral effects Measurement Apparatus (CIGMA) facility were used. With a high-power heater for the gas-injection line in the CIGMA facility, a high-temperature flow of approximately 390 ℃ was injected into the test vessel. By using the CIGMA facility, we can extend the experimental data to the high-temperature region. The phenomenological discussion in this paper helps understand the heat and mass transfer induced by the high-buoyancy flow in the containment vessel during a severe accident.

This is the third of several companion papers dealing with the derivation of material constants for ductile failure criteria under hydrostatic stress. It was observed that the ultimate engineering stresses and elongations at fracture from tensile tests for round specimens with various notch radii tended to increase and decrease, respectively, because of the stress triaxiality. The engineering stress curves from tests are compared with numerical simulation results, and it is proved that the curves from the two approaches very closely coincide. Failure strains are obtained from the equivalent plastic strain histories from numerical simulations at the time when the experimental engineering stress drops suddenly. After introducing the new concept of average stress triaxiality and accumulated average strain energy, the material constants of the Johnson-Cook failure criterion for critical energies of 100%, 50%, and 15% are presented. The experimental results obtained for EH-36 steel were in relatively good agreement with the 100% critical energy, whereas the literature states that aluminum fits with a 15% critical energy. Therefore, it is expected that a unified failure criterion for critical energy, which is available for most kinds of ductile materials, can be provided according to the used materials.
