  • Cracking and bulging in welded and internally lined pressure vessels that work in thermal-mechanical cycling service have been well known problems in the petrochemical, power and nuclear industries. However, published literature and industry surveys show that similar problems have been occurring during the last 50 years. A better understanding of the causes of cracking and bulging causes is needed to improve the reliability of these pressure vessels. This study attempts to add information required for increasing the knowledge and fundamental understanding required. Typical examples of this problem are the coke drums in the delayed coking units refinery process. This case was selected for experimental work, field study and results comparison. Delayed coking units are among the refinery units that have higher economical yields. To shut down these units represents a high negative economical impact in refinery operations. Also, the maintenance costs associated with repairs are commonly very high. Cracking and bulging occurrences in the coke drums, most often at the weld areas, characterize the history of the operation of delayed coking units. To design and operate more robust coke drums with fewer problems, an improved metallurgical understanding of the cracking and bulging mechanisms is required. A methodology that is based field experience revision and metallurgical analyses for the screening of the most important variables, and subsequent finite element analyses to verify hypotheses and to rank the variables according to their impact on the coke drum lives has been developed. This indicated approach provides useful information for increasing coke drum reliability. The results of this work not only order the most important variables according to their impact in the life of the vessels, but also permit estimation of the life spans of coke drums. In conclusion, the current work shows that coke drums may fail as a combination of thermal fatigue and other degradation mechanisms such as: corrosion at high and low temperatures, detrimental metallurgical transformations and plastic deformation. It was also found that FEA is a very valuable tool for understanding cracking and bulging mechanisms in these services and for ranking the design, fabrication, operation and maintenance variables that affect coke drum reliability.

  • In this paper, we present the results of our research to perform 3D laser scanning functions by adding a focusing lens to a conventional 2D laser scanner. For the optical design, the ray-tracing technique was used along with a total of four lenses as the variable incident focusing lens, the collimating lens, and the F-Theta lens. As design variables, the curvature of the incident focusing lens (Lens #1) was assumed to be us, l mm and sumed mm, and the incident angles were set at 0cidenus, l. In addition, the distance between the focusing lens and the collimating lens was set to vary from 5 mm to 15 mm. When the incident focal length was varied from 5 mm to 15 mm, the exit focal length was calculated to vary from 67.5 mm to 56.8 mm for the lens with R = 100 mm and from 108.5 mm to 99.0 mm for the lens with R = 150 mm. When the incident angle was 0°, the focal aberration was only slightly observable at 10㎛ in both the x- and y-direction. At 7.5° was the focal aberration of approximately 20~50㎛ was measured at 20㎛. To investigate the chromatic aberration of the designed optical device, the distortion of the focus was observed when the 550 nm beam was simulated on lens designed for a 980 nm wavelength.

  • The effects of the brazing temperature and homogenizing time for brazed specimens on the joint of Ni-based superalloys such as Haynes 250, Inconel 617 and Hastelloy-X were investigated. The brazing alloy is nickel base MBF 15. The foil had a thickness of $38{\mu}m$, which was used two sheets of that for the all experiments. The experimental brazing was carried out by a brazing process in a vacuum of approximately $2{\times}10^{-5}$ Torr, an applied pressure of about 0.74MPa and the three kinds of brazing temperatures were 1100, 1150, and $1190^{\circ}C$ for a holding time of 5 to 1440 minutes. Microstructural observations were made on the cross-sectional samples by using an optical microscope(OM), scanning electron microscope(SEM), and electron probe X-ray microanalyzer(EPMA). The tensile tests were performed at room temperature with a cross head speed 1.5 mm/min according to ASTM E8M. The results show that excellent joint tensile strengths of as high as 788MPa were obtained when processed at $1190^{\circ}C$ for 5 minutes.

  • The bending phenomenon has been known to be occurred by the difference of velocity at the die exit. The difference of velocity at the die exit section can be obtained by the different velocity of billets inside die chamber after passing the multi-hole container. The curvature can be controlled by the two variables, the one of them is the different velocity of billets through the multi-hole container, the other is the difference of hole diameter. The bending phenomenon during extruding using four billets can be obtained by the difference of hole diameters in the multi-hole container or by the difference of relative velocity of billet inserted in the container. As results of DEFORM-3D analysis, it can be shown that bending can be obtained during extruding by the difference of relative velocity of two billets or by the difference of hole diameter, and the amount of curvature is increased by the difference of velocity and diameter. According to the shape of products, the curvature of rectangular section is bigger than the curvature of regular square section. And, it is estimated that, because the stress on the welding line is much higher than yield stress of material, the bonding of four billets can be obtained.

  • Cutting procedures whose qualifies are determined by various variables largely influences shipbuilding productivity. Particularly, defects in cutting shapes and cutting surface results in delay of the post shipbuilding stages such as welding and assemblage process. Because cutting procedures are influenced by various numbers of requirements according to the plate thickness, cutting precision can be maintained when the cutting conditions are appropriate. Existing cutting procedures utilize fossil fuels such as propane or ethylene as the main fuel component. Especially, when fossil fuel is applied to thick plate cutting, this process gives relatively slow cutting speed and generates large quantities of harmful polluting fumes. Recently, hydrogen-oxygen mixed gas generated by electrically dissociating water into Hydrogen and oxygen components is welcomed as an alternative fuel source. Also recent results report that alternative cutting fuel improves the cutting Dualities and speed. This paper presents that cutting characteristics and optimum cutting condition of hydrogen-oxygen mixed gas.

  • 리모트 용접용 2D 스캐너 F-theta 렌즈의 역설계가 광선 추적기법을 사용하여서 수행이 되었다. 렌즈의 곡면 및 렌즈간 거리를 변수로 설정하고 초점거리를 Marginal Ray Height 로 설정하여, 상용 광선추적기법 프로그램을 사용하여 무한반복 최적화를 수행 하였다. 최종목표 값을 설정 후 Merit Function에 정의된 기준에 따라, 최종 초점거리와 초점의 크기를 최종 목표 값 가중치로 설정하였다. 최적화된 렌즈는 총 4매이며, 벤치마킹된 상용렌즈의 초점거리(185mm) 보다는 다소 근거리인 137mm로 최적화 되었지만, 초점의 크기는 레이저 입사각에 따라 RMS 기준 $1.3{\mu}m$, $6.2{\mu}m$ 그리고 $16.1{\mu}m$로 계산 되었으며, 이는 상용렌즈에 근접하는 성능을 구현한다. 입사각별 왜곡도를 중첩 하여서 비교 분석한 결과, 입사각 $0^{\circ}$$12.5^{\circ}$에서는 기존 렌즈와 거의 유사한 형태로 나타나는 것을 볼 수가 있어, 본 연구에서 제안된 역설계기법이 사용자 환경에 따라서 효과적으로 적용되어 최적설계가 이루어질 수 있을 것으로 기대가 된다.

  • In the fossil power plant, the reliability of the components which consist of the many welded parts depends on the quality of welding. The residual stress is occurred by the heat flux of high temperature during weld process. This decreases the mechanical properties as the strength of fatigue and fracture or causes the stress corrosion cracking and fatigue fracture. Especially, the accidents due to the residual stress occurred at the weld parts of high-temperature and high-pressure pipes and steam headers. Also, the residual stress of the welded part in the recently constructed power plants has been brought into relief as the cause of various accidents. The aim of this study is the measurement of the residual stress using the x-ray diffraction method. The merits of this are more accurate and applicable than other methods. The materials used for the study is P92 steel for the use of high temperature pipe on super critical condition. The variables of tests are the post-weld heat treatment, the surface roughness and the depth from the original surface. The test results were analyzed by the distributed characteristics of the full width at half maximum intensity (FWHM) in x-ray diffraction intensity curve and by the relation of hardness with FWHM.

  • 일반적으로 카누는 목재나 FRP 등으로 제작된다. 그러나 소비자들은 기존의 재료에 비하여 염가이면서 친환경 재료를 선호한다. 특히, 선진국에서는 일부 선박에 대하여 FRP 선체 제조를 금지하는 법안을 발표하고 이에 따른 국제협약을 제정하였다. 폴리에틸렌은 식료품 용기나 의료용 용기로 널리 사용되는 재료로서 리사이클 가능한 재료이다. 본 연구에서는 카누 선체 재료로 폴리에틸렌으로 선정하였으며 선형설계는 상용 선형 설계 프로그램인 3D Boat Design을 이용하여 수행하였다. 카누 구조하중은 우선 ANSYS CFX R12.1을 이용하여 선체에 작용되는 압력 분포를 구하고 이것을 ANSYS WORKBENCH R12.1로 넘겨 선체 압력 하중과 패들러 하중을 동시에 고려하였다. 카누 각 치수를 설계변수화하여 응력과 무게를 최소화하는 최적화 과정을 반응표면방법과 만족도 함수를 이용하여 수행하였다. 개발된 카누는 운항시험에서 직진성이나 안정성은 우수하나 운반성과 선회성 및 속도는 보통인 것으로 판단된다.

  • 이 연구에서는 기존 프리캐스트 콘크리트 (Precast concrete, PC) 더블월 시스템의 복잡한 제작 공정을 간소화하면서 콘크리트 패널 형성 시 발생할 수 있는 레이턴스 등의 결함을 제거하고자 고안된 새로운 PC 더블월 공법을 소개하고 이때, PC 패널이 운반 또는 현장 콘크리트 타설 시 손상되지 않고 간격을 유지하는 역할을 하는 각형 강관에 대한 인장저항 성능을 규명하기 위한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 각형 강관의 단부 상세를 변수로 인장실험을 계획하였으며 개구부 형성에 따른 강판의 처리방법, 매립 콘크리트의 존치 유무, 추가적인 장부작용 확보를 위한 철근용접 등을 변수로 설정하여 효과적인 강관 단부 상세를 도출하고자 하였다. 결과적으로, 강관 단부의 측면을 절개한 강판을 강관 단부 방향 안쪽으로 절곡한 강관 실험체 (ST_CP)를 제외하고 기준실험체 (ST)에 비하여 20~30% 가량 증가한 최대 인장강도를 나타내었다. 기준실험체 내부에 콘크리트를 채운 실험체 (ST_CON)가 PC 더블월 제작 시 구성되는 각형 강관 연결부와 유사한 상세를 가지며 추가적인 시공과정과 비용이 요구되지 않으므로 가장 적합한 연결상세인 것으로 판단된다.

  • 용접공은 용접과정에서 용접 흄, 중금속 및 bisphenol-A에 노출된다. 따라서 이 연구는 직무노출 메트릭스에 근거하여 근로자들의 내분비 교란물질의 노출실태를 파악하고자 하였다. 또한 생물학적 모니터링에 사용되는 뇨중 대사산물 농도에 영향을 미칠 것으로 생각되는 대사효소의 유전적 다형성 분포를 조사하였으며 이들 유전자가 뇨중 대사산물 배설에 미치는 영향을 연구하고자 하였다. 연구대상자는 경상남도에 있는 모 조선업체에 종사하는 근로자를 대상으로 하였다. 연구대상자는 총 84명으로 용접공 47명과 대조군 37명을 대상으로 하였다. 이름, 연령, 보호구 착용 여부, 흡연습관, 음주여부 등에 대하여 설문조사를 시행하였다. 시료채취는 건강검진이 진행되는 오후에 하였으며 뇨중 BPA는 뇨중 크레아티닌으로 보정하여 측정하였다. 대사효소의 유전자 다형성은 혈액의 백혈구로부터 DNA를 추출하여 제한 효소 절단 단편 다형성(restriction fragment length polymorphism, RFLP)법으로 검사하였다. 흄 중 BPA의 농도는 최대값 229.9 ng/mg, 최소값 5.7 ng/mg, 평균 61.9 ng/mg 이었다. 흄 총 중량과 흄중 BPA 양 간에 상관계수는 0.516으로 양적 선형관계를 보여주었다. 뇨중 BPA 농도는 대조군보다 용접공에서 유의하게 높았다. CYP1A1, CYP2E1, UGT1A6등의 유전자 다형성에 따라 뇨중 BPA 농도에는 차이가 없었다. 뇨중 BPA에 대한 다중회귀분석에서는 노출등급만이 유의한 변수였다. 용접 흄에 노출된 후 뇨중 BPA농도에 영향을 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것은 노출등급이었으며, 대사효소의 유전적 다형성은 유의한 효과를 나타내지 못하였다.
