We developed an optimal design interface based on VBA(Visual Basic Application) that takes advantage of API(Application Program Interface) function of commonly used EM analysis software. The developed interface is adopted for an optimal design of a septum in a waveguide tee junction using PSO(Particle Swarm Optimization) algorithm. The objective function of the optimal design is defined by $S_{11}$-parameter of the waveguide tee junction Design variables are established as position of the septum, that are changed to satisfy the design goal Using the developed design interface and PSO algorithm, the objective function converged to the smallest value, showing the validity of the proposed method. The design interface was developed using Microsoft Excel software, enabling easy control of design parameters for user. Also, various analysis parameters can be set in the Excel interface, including waveguide input mode and frequency. After completion of the design, field solutions at user-specified positrons can be extracted to the output files in complex number form.

In this work, mixing processes of hot and cold fluids of three different jet types are predicted by large-eddy simulation (LES) on FLUENT platform. Temperature at different positions of internal wall and mixing conditions of T-junctions at different times are obtained, then the simulated normalized mean and root-mean square (RMS) temperature, temperature contour and velocity vector of every case are compared. The results indicate that, the mixing regions in the tee junction is related to the jet type, and temperature fluctuations on the pipe wall in the type of the deflecting jet is the least.

This paper deals with the industrial problem of thermal striping damage on the French prototype fast breeder reactor, Phenix and it was studied in coordination with the research program of IAEA. The thermomechanical and fracture mechanics evaluation procedure of thermal striping damage on the tee-junction of the secondary piping using Green's function method and standard FEM is presented. The thermohydraulic(T/H) loading condition used in the present analysis is the random type thermal loads computed by T/H analysis on the turbulent mixing of the two flows with different temperatures. The thermomechanical fatigue damage was evaluated according to ASME code section 111 subsection NH. The results of the fatigue analysis showed that fatigue failure would occur at the welded joint within 90,000 hours of operation. The assessment for the fracture behavior of the welded joint showed that the crack would be initiated at an early stage in the operation. It took 42,698.9 hours for the crack to propagate up to 5 mm along the thickness direction. After then, however, the instability analysis, using tearing modulus, showed that the crack would be arrested, which was in agreement with the actual observation of the crack. An efficient analysis procedure using Green's function approach for the crack propagation problem under random type load was proposed in this study. The analysis results showed good agreement with those of the practical observations.

Turbulent mixing of hot and cold coolants is one of the possible causes of high cycle thermal fatigue in piping systems of nuclear power plants. A typical situation for such mixing appears in turbulent flow through a T-junction. Since the high cycle thermal fatigue caused by thermal striping was not considered in the piping fatigue design in several nuclear power plants, it is very important to evaluate the effect of thermal striping on the integrity of mixing tees. In the present work, before conducting detailed evaluation, three thermal striping evaluation methodology suggested by EPRI, JSME and NESC are analyzed. Then, a by-pass pipe connected to the shutdown cooling system heat exchanger is investigated by using these evaluation methodology. Consequently, the resulting thermal stresses and the fatigue life of the mixing tee are reviewed and compared to each other. Futhermore, the limitation of each methodology are also presented in this paper.

This paper presents a technique to optimize the shape of waveguide components in H-plane. The technique utilizes the numerical optimization process which employs the vector finite element method. In the optimization process, the sensitivity of an objective function with respect to design variables is computed by introducting adjoint variables, which makes the computation easy. The steepest descent method is then employed to update design variables. As a numerical example, an H-plane waveguide teejunction was considered to obtain optimized shape. Comparison between the initial and optimized shape was made.

본 논문에서는 널리 알려진 슬롯 라인-마이크로스트립 변환을 이용하여 Ka-band에서 동작하는 도파관 형태의 전력 결합기를 제안하였다. 입력이 구형 도파관이고 출력이 마이크로스트립인 전력 분배기는 구형 도파관-슬롯라인 변환, 슬롯라인-마이크로스트립 변환, 그리고, 임피던스 정합회로 등으로 구성되어 있다. 2-way 전력 결합기는 두개의 슬롯라인-마이크로스트립 변환을, 4-way는 2-way 전력 결합기 2개와 sloltline tee junction을 이용하여 개발되었다. 3차원 유한 요소법을 이용하여 제안된 구조를 수치 해석하여 최적의 특성이 나오도록 설계하였고, 손실이 작은 수정 기판을 사용하여 제작하였다. Back-to-back으로 연결된 전력 결합기를 측정한 결과, 공진 주파수를 제외하면, 2-way 전력 분배기는 25.7∼29.8 GHz에서 삽입손실은 1.0 dB 이하, 반사손실은 15 dB 이상이었고, 4-way의 경우는 26∼28.2GHz에서 삽입손실이 1.0 dB 이하, 반사손실이 15 dB 이상의 우수한 특성을 얻을 수 있었다.

This paper presents the thermomechanical and fracture mechanics evaluation procedure of thermal striping damage on the secondary piping of LMFR using Green's function method and standard FEM. The thermohydraulic loading conditions used in the present analysis are simplified sinusoidal thermal loads and the random type data thermal load. The thermomechainical fatigue damage was evaluated according to ASME code subsectionNH. The analysis results of fatigue for the sinusoidal and random load cases show that fatigue failure would occur at a geometrically discontinuous location during 90,000 hours of operation The fracture mechanics analysis showed that the crack would be initiated at an early stage of the operation. The fatigue crack was evaluated to propagate up to 5 ㎜ along the thickness direction during the first 944 and 1083 hours of operation for the sinusoidal and the random loading cases, respectively.

본 논문에서는 결함 접지 구조(Defected Ground Structure, DGS)를 이용하여 설계한, 전송 선로의 폭이 매우 넓어진 새로운 형태의 5-단 저역 통과 여파기(5-pole Low Pass Filters, LPF)를 제시한다. 이를 위하여 종래에 제시 되었던 3-단 DGS LPF설계 방법을 임의의 N-단 LPF설계에도 적용할 수 있도록 일반화 시키고$(N\geq5)$, 한 예로써 5-단 LPF를 설계 및 측정 결과가 제시된다. LPF원형 회로로부터 필요한 소자값들을 갖는 서로 다른 크기의 DGS를 결정하기 위하여, 매우 정확한 인덕턴스 값을 예측해 주는 곡선 맞춤(curve-fitting) 방법도 제시되었다. 제안하는 5-단 LPF는 병렬 캐패시턴스 구현을 위해 개방 스터브 대신 선폭이 크게 보상된 낮은 임피던스의 전송 선로를 갖는다. 따라서 개방 스터브를 사용할 때 필수적으로 요구되는 T-나 Cross-불연속 접합 소자가 없고, 또한 기존의 LPF에서 직렬 인덕턴스 때문에 필요했던 높은 임피던스 전송 선로가 없다.

This paper presents the tensile behavior of a Concrete-Filled Square Steel Tubular (CFT) column to H-beam welded connections. These connections were externally reinforced with T-shaped stiffeners at the junction of CFT column and beam. The tensile loading tests of eighteen tee-joint connections and finite element analysis using ANSYS were carried out. The main parameters of tests are as follows: 1) the thickness of Square Steel Tubular Column : 6 mm, 9 mm, 2) the strength ratios of tensile strength of horizontal stiffeners to tensile strength of beam flange : 70 %, 100 %, 150 %, 3) the strength ratios of shear strength of vertical stiffeners to tensile strength of beam flange : 80 %, 115 %, 160 %. The results of the tests demonstrate that overall behavior and failure modes of all the specimens are governed mainly by the horizontal stiffeners rather than the vertical stiffeners, and the vertical stiffener played only a role in transferring load introduced from beam to column.
