벨로우즈 신축이음관은 구조적 특성으로 인해 큰 변위 용량을 갖으며 과도한 상대변위에 의한 매립 배관 시스템의 손상을 저감시키기 위해 연결부로써 사용된다. 벨로우즈 신축이음관의 내진성능 평가를 위한 연구에서 한계상태는 변형률을 적용하였지만 변형률 기반 한계상태는 벨로우즈 신축이음관의 큰 변위용량을 고려할 수 없다. 또한 벨로우즈 신축이음관의 성능평가와 한계상태 분석을 위한 해석적 및 실험적 연구는 수행된 사례가 극히 적다. 따라서 본 연구는 단조 및 반복하중을 받는 벨로우즈 신축이 음관의 해석적 연구를 통해 벨로우즈 신축이음관의 한계상태를 분석하였다. 결과적으로 단조하중 보다 반복하중을 받는 벨로우즈 신축이음관은 더 낮은 변위에서 누출이 발생하였다. 반복하중으로 인한 피 로 및 라체팅 현상으로 인해 단조하중 보다 낮은 변위의 성능을 갖는 것으로 보여진다. 따라서 반복하 중에서 관측된 변위응답을 기반으로 벨로우즈 신축이음관의 내진성능 평가를 수행하는 것이 보수적일 것으로 판단된다.

최근, 큰 처짐과 다수의 균열을 동반하는 유사연성 거동과 부식에 대한 높은 내구성의 특징을 가진 FRCM(Fabric-Reinforced Cemenetitious Matrix) 복합체에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 철근콘크리트 부재에 대해 다양한 장점을 지닌 FRMC 복합체를 적용할 경우 전단내력의 증대를 예상할 수 있으며, 이를 통해 내진성능이 요 구되는 철근콘크리트 구조물에 효과를 기대할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 FRCM 복합체가 보강된 철근콘크리트 기둥에 대해 정적 반복가력 실험을 수행하고, 그 거동을 평가 하였다. 철근콘크리트 기둥은 직사각형 형상으로 단면의 크기가 300 × 300 mm이고, 순 높이는 800 mm로 제작되었다. 정적 반복가력 실험은 설정한 가력패턴에 따라 변위제어를 통해 횡 하중을 가력하 였고, 초기 축력은 기둥 용량의 10 %로 적용하였다. 정적 반복가력 실험 결과, 무보강 실험체 대비 약 27.33 %의 증진된 강도를 나타내었으며, 최대 강도 발현 시 층간변위비가 무보강 실험체 대비 약 187.6% 높게 나타냄에 따라 FRCM 복합체가 적용된 철근콘크리트 기둥의 높은 연성 거동을 확인 할 수 있다. 다만, FRCM 복합체를 실제 구조물에 적용하기 위해서는 추가적인 설계인자 개발을 통해 안 정성 및 신뢰성을 확보하는 것이 필수적이라고 판단된다.

원자력 발전소에서 배관 시스템은 냉각수 및 오염수를 운반하고 생성된 증기를 터빈으로 이동시켜 에너지를 생산하는 중요한 설비이다. 국내에 건설된 원자력 발전소의 가동연수가 증가함에 따라 배관 시스템의 물리적, 기계적 성질의 열화현상은 발생할 수 있으며 이를 경년열화로 정의한다. 배관 시스 템의 경년열화는 재료의 피로, 부식(국부감육), 마모 등과 같은 메커니즘을 통해 발생할 수 있으며 재 료의 강도 및 시스템의 성능 저하와 균열을 야기할 수 있다. 지속적이고 안정적인 에너지 생산을 위해 경제성과 정확도를 고려한 원전 배관 시스템의 손상 감시 기술은 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구는 원전 배 관 시스템의 손상 감시 기술을 개발하기 위한 기초적인 연구로써 배관 시스템의 취약요소로 판단되는 elbow의 국부적인 감육에 따른 거동의 변화를 분석하고자 한다.

In the case of the Pohang earthquake, which had a magnitude of 5.4 in 2017, geotechnical damages such as liquefaction and ground settlement occurred. The need for countermeasures has emerged, and experimental research in the Pohang area has continued. This study collected undisturbed samples from damaged fine-grained soil areas where ground settlement occurred in Pohang. Cyclic tri-axial tests for identifying the dynamic characteristics of soils were performed on the undisturbed samples, and the results were analyzed to determine the cause of ground settlement. As a result of the study, it was determined that in the case of fine-grained soils, ground settlement occurred because the seismic load as an external force was relatively more significant than the shear resistance of the very soft fine-grained soils, rather than due to an increase in excess pore water pressure.

건축물에 가해지는 풍하중을 평가하는 방법은 과거로부터 많은 발전을 이루었다. 그 중 비교적 간단한 방법인 가스트하중계 수법이 있다. 정적풍하중에 동적계수를 곱하여 등가정적풍하중을 평가하는 방법으로 여러나라 기준에서 사용되고 있다. 동적계수는 가 스트영향계수(Gust Effect Factor:DGEF)와 가스트하중계수가(Gust Loading Factor:MGLF)가 사용된다. DGEF는 변위 기반으로서 이론 적인 가정을 통해 산출할 수 있는 반면 그 과정이 다소 복잡하고, MGLF는 모멘트를 기반으로 하며 풍동실험으로 전도모멘트를 측정 하여 산정할 수 있지만 기초자료를 구축하는 것에 많은 시간과 노력이 소요된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 MGLF 산정 시 필요한 풍방향 평균풍력계수C F, 평균전도모멘트계수C M, 변동전도모멘트계수 C M 가 다양한 형상비( ), 변장비(D/B), 지표면조도구분(α)에 따 라 변화하는 경향을 비교 분석하였다. 이를 통해 풍방향 평균풍력계수 C F, 평균전도모멘트 관련 계수 C g, 변동전도모멘트 관련 계수 C g 의 경험식을 제안하여 MGLF 산정에 대한 기초자료를 제시하였다.

Recently, due to the expansion of the logistics industry, demand for logistics automation equipment is increasing. The modern logistics industry is a high-tech industry that combines various technologies. In general, as various technologies are grafted, the complexity of the system increases, and the occurrence rate of defects and failures also increases. As such, it is time for a predictive maintenance model specialized for logistics automation equipment. In this paper, in order to secure the operational safety and reliability of the parcel loading system, a predictive maintenance platform was implemented based on the Naive Bayes-LSTM(Long Short Term Memory) model. The predictive maintenance platform presented in this paper works by collecting data and receiving data based on a RabbitMQ, loading data in an InMemory method using a Redis, and managing snapshot DB in real time. Also, in this paper, as a verification of the Naive Bayes-LSTM predictive maintenance platform, the function of measuring the time for data collection/storage/processing and determining outliers/normal values was confirmed. The predictive maintenance platform can contribute to securing reliability and safety by identifying potential failures and defects that may occur in the operation of the parcel loading system in the future.

Bellows expansion joints enhance the displacement performance of piping systems owing to their unique geometrical features. However, structural uncertainties such as wall thinning in convolutions, a byproduct of the manufacturing process, can impair their structural integrity. This study addresses such issues by conducting a global sensitivity analysis to assess the impact of these uncertainties on the performance of bellows expansion joints under monotonic loading. Global sensitivity analysis, which examines main and nth order interaction effects, is computationally expensive. To mitigate this, we employed a surrogate model-based approach using an artificial neural network. This model demonstrated robust prediction capabilities, as evidenced by metrics such as the coefficient of determination. The sensitivity indices of the main effect for the 2-ply and 3-ply bellows at the sixth convolution were 0.3340 and 0.3233, respectively. The sensitivity index of the sixth convolution was larger than that of other convolutions because the maximum deformation of the bellows expansion joint under monotonic bending load occurs around it. Interestingly, the sensitivity index for the interaction effect was negligible (0.01%) compared to the main effect, suggesting minimal activity between uncertainty factors across convolutions. Notably, bellows expansion joints under repetitive loading exhibit more complex behaviors, with the initial leakage typically occurring at the convolution. Therefore, future studies should focus on the structural uncertainties of bellows expansion joints under cyclic loading and employ a surrogate model for comprehensive global sensitivity analysis.

Amphibious operations represent a pivotal military maneuver involving the transfer of landing forces via ships, boats, and aircraft from sea to land. The success of such operations can be the decisive factor in the outcome of a war. Nevertheless, planning an amphibious assault is an intricate and formidable task, demanding careful consideration of numerous variables. This complexity is particularly evident in the formulation of loading plans for troops and equipment onto naval vessels. Historical accounts underscore the profound repercussions of errors in planning and loading on the execution of these operations. In pursuit of efficient loading procedures characterized by precision and time-effectiveness, our study has delved into the realm of optimization modeling. Employing a mixed-integer mathematical programming approach, this optimization model offers a valuable tool to streamline and enhance the preparatory phase of amphibious operations.

선박의 설계과정에 있어, 선박의 중량은 유체역학적 성능에 큰 영향을 미치는 가장 중요한 요소 중 하나이다. 선박은 일반적으 로 최적의 흘수와 배수량을 갖는 하나의 조건으로 설계되지만, 실제로는 연료의 소비, 선박 평형수의 충전과 적재 조건과 같은 운항 활동 으로 인해 선박의 중량 및 흘수가 일정 범위 내에서 바뀐다. 본 연구에서는 소형선박을 대상으로 3가지 하중조건에 따른 선박의 저항성능 변화를 모형실험과 수치해석을 통해 연구하였다. 마지막으로 2050년까지 CO2 배출 가스를 50% 감축한다는 국제해사기구(IMO) 목표를 따 라 선박의 저항 성능을 개선하여 동력 요구 사항을 줄이기 위해 선박의 중량 변화에 따른 저항성능의 민감도를 연구하였다. 연구 결과, 선박의 중량변화에 따른 효과는 낮은 프루드 수에서 크게 나타나는 것으로 확인되며, 저항성능에 대한 연구 결과, 설계 흘수의 적재조건 을 기준으로 배수량이 11.1% 증가하고, 흘수가 5% 증가한 Over load의 적재조건에서 운항 시 선체의 총 저항이 모형시험과 CFD 시뮬레이 션에서 각각 15.97%, 14.31%까지 증가하는 것을 볼 수 있다.

횡하중에 작용하는 철근 콘크리트 기둥은 연성능력 확보를 위해 띠철근의 양 단부를 135° 구부려 시공하는 상세가 요구된다. 그러 나 이러한 띠철근 상세는 시공이 매우 까다로와 실제 현장에서는 제대로 시공이 되지 않기도 한다. 이를 대체하기 위해 본 논문에서는 강재 클립형 연결장치가 적용된 철근 콘크리트 기둥에 대해 횡방향 반복가력 실험을 수행하고 그 구조적 성능을 평가하였다. 총 4개 의 실험체가 제작되었으며 주요 실험변수는 강재 클립형 연결장치 및 고강도 콘크리트 사용 여부이다. 또한 대상 구조물에 대해 3차 원 유한요소해석 모델을 개발하고 이에 대한 비선형 해석을 수행하였으며, 해석 및 실험결과를 비교하고 분석하였다. 그 결과 강재 클 립형 연결장치가 설치된 콘크리트 기둥이 반복 횡하중에 대해 기존의 표준갈고리 상세를 지닌 콘크리트 기둥과 동등한 혹은 그 이상 의 성능을 지니고 있으며, 개발된 유한요소해석 모델이 실험결과를 정확히 잘 예측하는 것으로 나타났다.

In piping systems, trapeze hangers are subjected to vertical and horizontal seismic loads and stiffeners are used. In this study, monotonic compression tests were conducted with the removable stiffeners using three variables: stiffener clamp fixing position, section length, and installation direction. The maximum load reinforced with stiffeners could withstand a compressive load of 11kN by applying a safety factor of 10%. It could be estimated that the fixing clamp spacing or the length of shape and load had a proportional relationship. And the stiffener must be fixed in the direction of the strong axis on hinge parts. Also the stiffener buckiling load design proposes to use a method of calculate the flexural buckling compressive strength of and unreinforced full threaded bolt.

Ensuring the safe arrival of delivery cargo at its intended destination is of utmost importance. Truck drivers play a crucial role in guaranteeing the secure delivery of cargo without any mishaps. However, there are various factors that may lead to delayed arrival of trucks at their destination, such as late departures or prolonged loading operations. The timely departure of cargo transportation is contingent upon several variables, including the driver's experience, cargo volume, and loading time. If the transportation commencement is delayed, it may increase the risk of accidents due to an elevated operating speed. Consequently, we conducted a study to investigate the correlation between cargo loading time, cargo volume, driving experience, and the likelihood of accidents. Our findings indicate that both cargo volume and driver experience can impact the likelihood of vehicle accidents. Furthermore, all factors can have an interactive effect on the occurrence of accidents. However, extending the loading time may mitigate the impact on the likelihood of accidents.

Recently, a novel cast-in specialty insert was developed in Korea as an anchor for lightweight pipe supports, including fire-protection pipes. As these pipe supports and anchors play a critical role in transferring loads of fire-protection pipes to structural members, it is crucial to evaluate their seismic performance before applying the newly developed insert. In this study, the seismic shear performance of the insert anchors was evaluated through cyclic loading tests based on the loading protocols of ACI 355.2 and FEMA 461. Initially, five monotonic loading tests were conducted on the insert anchors in cracked concrete, followed by cyclic loading tests based on the monotonic test results. The findings revealed that the insert anchors exhibited negligible decrease in shear strength even after cyclic loading. Furthermore, a comparison of the maximum load and displacement of the insert anchors obtained under the loading protocols of ACI 355.2 and FEMA 461 was performed to investigate the applicability of the FEMA 461 loading protocol for anchor performance evaluation.

For Korean nuclear fuel cycle project, it is necessary to design and evaluate the integrity of spent fuel storage. For the design and evaluation of spent fuel storage, it is necessary to evaluate the properties of various materials used in spent fuel storage. The materials previously considered in the design of nuclear power plants were limited to static properties and were listed in design and manufacturing code and standards. However, for the evaluation of the storage containers in scenarios such as transportation and events, dynamic material property evaluations are required. Research on the dynamic properties of materials is generally conducted in the fields of automotive and aerospace, and most of the studies are on metal materials under sheet conditions. Since the structural materials of the storage containers for used nuclear fuel are mostly composed of thick materials, consideration should be given to property evaluation methodology and quantitative comparison. In this study, the mechanical properties of stainless steel material with canister application were evaluated according to the strain rate, and the crack resistance evaluation was also performed. It was confirmed the changes in strength and crack resistance according to the increase in strain rate and observed differences in microstructural hardening behavior.

Laver aquaculture, which occupies a large proportion in the aquaculture industry in Korea, is still highly dependent on human labor. Therefore, it is necessary to study the development of an automatic system to improve the working environment and increase the efficiency of aquaculture production systems. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the economic feasibility of an improved system in a study for the loading-unloading and automatic weighing systems in laver aquaculture industry. Economic analysis of the developed unloading and automatic weighing system were implemented under various conditions to calculate more accurate benefits and costs. As a result of this study, the economic feasibility was found to be very high in the three models: net present value (NPV), benefit-cost ratio (B/C), internal rate of return (IRR). Moreover, the results of sensitivity analysis showed that the economical efficiency of the automatic loading, unloading, and weighing system in laver aquaculture was very high.

In modern society, the delivery service market has grown explosively due to rapid changes in social structure and the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, various problems such as injury to workers and an increase in human accidents are occurring due to the loading and unloading of parcels. In order to solve this problem, domestic company n is developing a “robot-based cargo loading and unloading system”. In developing a new technology system, quantitative reliability targets should be set for efficient operation and development. In this paper, reliability analysis was conducted through field data for the pneumatic gripper of the “robot-based cargo loading system”. The reliability of the failure data was analyzed to estimate the distribution parameters and MTTF. Random data was derived for the probability of occurrence of a failure with the estimated value. By repeating the simulation to predict the number and year of failures according to the estimated parameters of the probability distribution, it was proposed as a method that reflects realistic probabilities rather than calculating with simple arithmetic using the average MTTF previously used in the field.
