펌프카는 콘크리트를 타설하는 장소에 필요한 만큼 운반하는 장비로, 짧은 시간에 많은 양의 콘크리트 타설하기 위해서는 펌프카를 사용하는 것이 경제성 및 품질관리 측면에 가장 효율적이다. 그러나 최근에는 콘크리트 타설중에 붐 파손으로 인한 인명피해가 많이 발생하고 있으므로 본 연구에서는 장비 제작단계, 노후장비에 대한 검사기준, 장비대여제도 등의 개선이 필요함을 제언한다. 그 이유는 펌프카의 유한요소해석 결과, 붐 2단에서 작용하는 상당응력과 붐상단에서 최대응력이 895.39MPa로 나타났고, M.S. 0.04로 가장 낮게 평가되었으므로 보강의 필요성을 인식했다. 그리고 2단계 붐은 1~5단계 붐대 중 가장 스트레스가 많고, 취약한 부분임을 확인했다. 따라서 설계 및 제작 단계에서 부재의 두께와 강성을 높이고, 현재 사용되는 장비의 강판에 대한 보강이 필요하다. 또한, 일반 건설기계 전체에 대한 비파괴 검사를 의무적으로 반영하고, 비파괴검사 및 정기검사시 붐대 결함 누락에 대한 책임을 검사기관에 부담시키는 제도 구축이 시급하다.

Film based radiography imaging technique has been applied to the non-destructive test in medical, aircraft, and power industries contributing to the development of the industries. However, the complex process for imaging and analysis has increasingly demanded the reformation of the radiography test. A digital radiography imaging technologies has been com out from the demand. This study was mainly focused on the assessment on the accuracy for the each image from digital radiography test and film radiography test was proven to crate a better image in sensitivity than film radiography test. In the IQI(Image quality indicator) transmission test, one or two more line can be seen in digital image than in film image. When applying to the boiler tube weld, film image is detectable to the 1.0mm depth flaw; and digital image to the 0.5mm depth flaw. As a result of this study, digital radiography technology is determined to enhance the image quality, compared to film radiography technologies

Recent deepwater offshore structures in Gulf of Mexico utilize butt welded tubular joints. Application of welded tubular joint includes tendons, production risers, and steel catenary risers. Fatigue life assessment of these joints becomes more critical because the structures to which they are attached are allowed to undergo cyclic and sometimes large displacements around an anchored position. Estimating the fatigue behavior of these tubular members in the design stage is generally conducted by using S-N curves specified in the codes and standards. Applying the stress concentration factor of the welded structure to S-N approach often results in very conservative assessment because the stress field acting on the tubular has a non-uniform distribution through the thickness. Fracture mechanics and fitness for service (FFS) technology have been applied in the design of the catenary risers. This technology enables the engineer to establish proper requirements on weld quality and inspection acceptance criteria to assure satisfactory structural integrity during its design life. It also provides guidance on proper design curves to be used and a methodology for accounting for the effects of non-uniform stress distribution through the wall thickness. An attempt was made to develop set of S-N curves based on fracture mechanics approach by considering non-uniform stress distribution and a threshold stress intensity factor. Series of S-N curves generated from this approach were compared to the existing S-N curves. For flat plate butt joint, the S-N curve generated from fracture mechanics matches with the IIW class 100 curve when initial crack depth was 0.5 mm (0.02"). Similar comparison with API X′ was made for tubular joint.. These initial crack depths are larger than the limits of inspection by current Non-destructive examination (NDE) means, such as Automatic Ultrasonic Inspection (AUT). Thus a safe approach can be taken by specifying acceptance criteria that are close to limits of sizing capability of the selected NDE method. The comparison illustrates conservatism built into the S-N design curve.

One of the recent safety issues in the pressurized heavy water reactor (PHWR) is the cracking of the feeder pipe. Because of the limited accessibility to the cracked region and a high dose of radiation exposure, it is difficult to inspect all the pipes with the conventional ultrasonic method. In order to solve this problem, a long-range guided wave technique has been developed. A computer program to calculate the dispersion curves in the pipe was developed and the dispersion curves for the feeder pipes in PHWR plants were determined. Several longitudinal and/or flexural modes were selected from the review of the dispersion curves and an actual experiment has been carried out with the specific alignment of the piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers. They were confirmed as L(0,1)) and/or flexural modes(F(m,2)) by the short time Fourier transformation(STFT) and were sensitive to the circumferential cracks, but not to the axial cracks in the pipe. An electromagnetic acoustic transducers(EMAT) was designed and fabricated for the generation and reception of the torsional guided wave. The axial cracks were detected by a torsional mode(T(0,1)) generated by the EMAT.

Non-destructive inspection using X-rays is used as a method to check the inside of products. In order to accurately inspect, a X-ray image requires a higher spatial resolution. However, the reduction in pixel size of the X-ray detector, which determines the spatial resolution, is time-consuming and expensive. In this regard, a DMM has been proposed to obtain an improved spatial resolution using the same X-ray detector. However, this has a limitation that the motion blur phenomenon, which is a decrease in spatial resolution. In this paper, motion blur was removed by applying Non-Blind Deconvolution to the DMM image, and the increase in spatial resolution was confirmed. DMM and Non-Blind Deconvolution were sequentially applied to X-ray images, confirming 62 % MTF value by an additional 29 % over 33 % of DMM only. In addition, SSIM and PSNR were compared to confirm the similarity to the 1/2 pixel detector image through 0.68 and 33.21 dB, respectively.

콘크리트의 투수성능을 평가하는 여러 가지 비파괴시험방법 중의 하나는 표면전기저항을 측정하는 것이다. 그러나 콘크리트내에 강섬유로 인한 판단의 오류가 발생할 수 있기 때문에 강섬유 보강콘크리트에 본 표면전기저항측정방법을 적용하기에는 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 강섬유보강 콘크리트의 강섬유 분산도가 표면전기저항에 미치는 영향을 실험적으로 고찰하였다. 3개의 정방형 및 원형 실험체의 4개면에서의 저항치를 3번 반복하여 측정하였으며, 서로 비교하였다. 측정결과에 의하면, 원형실험체를 이용한 실험결과가 정방형 실험체의 결과에 비하여 강섬유의 영향을 일관되게 나타내고 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한, 강섬유의 분산도는 강섬유 혼입량에 비하여 측정결과에 미치는 영향이 미미한 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로, 표면전기저항측정을 이용한 비파괴 평가법은 0.5%까지의 강섬유를 포함한 SFRC의 투수성 평가에 적용될 수 있는 것으로 판단된다.

The objective of this research is to estimate the crack location and size of a carbon steel pipe by using a laser ultrasound guided wave for the wall thinning evaluation of an elbow. The wall thinning of the carbon steel pipe is one of the most serious problems in nuclear power plants, especially the wall thinning of the carbon steel elbow caused by Flow-Accelerated Corrosion (FAC). Therefore, a non-destructive inspection method of elbow is essential for the nuclear power plants to operate safely. The specimens used in this study were carbon steel elbows, which represented the main elements of real nuclear power plants. The shape of the wall thinning was an oval with a width of 120mm, a length of 80mm, and a depth of 5mm. The L(0,1) and L(0,2) modes variation of the ultrasound guided wave signal is obtained from the response of the laser generation/air-coupled detection ultrasonic hybrid system represent the characteristics of the defect. The trends of these characteristics and signal processing were used to estimate the size and location of wall thinning.

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61788-26:2020 provides guidelines for measuring the critical current of Rare-earth barium copper oxide (REBCO) tapes using two methods: linear ramp and step-hold methods. The critical current measurement criterion, 1 or 0.1 μV/cm of electric field from IEC 61788-26 has been normally applied to REBCO coils or magnets. No-insulation (NI) winding technique has many advantages in aspects of electrical and thermal stability and mechanical integrity. However, the leak current from the NI REBCO coil can cause distortion in critical current measurement due to the characteristic resistance which causes the radial current flow paths. In this paper, we simulated the NI REBCO coil by applying both linear ramp and step-hold methods based on a simplified equivalent circuit model. Using the circuit analysis, we analyzed and evaluated both methods. By using the equivalent circuit model, we can evaluate the critical current of the NI REBCO coil, resulting in an estimation error within 0.1%. We also evaluate the accuracy of critical current measurement using both the linear ramp and step-hold methods. The accuracy of the linear ramp method is influenced by the inductive voltage, whereas the accuracy of the step-hold method depends on the duration of the hold-time. An adequate hold time, typically 5 to 10 times the time constant (τ), makes the step-hold method more accurate than the linear ramp method.
