Failure diagnoses on large diesel engine are commonly detected when a deviation or fluctuation in its temperature, pressure, vibration or noise set parameter limits arises. These parameters can be easily monitored and can provide information of the engine’s present state depending on external environment and operating conditions. On the other hand, long term monitoring and condition management can be interfaced into the engine’s existing operating system. The approach is seen to keep track of monitored machines’ status using resonance and vibration amplitude. In particular, these signals will be able to identify complex vibration characteristic pertaining to such as engine torque output and support mounts. In this paper, a basic research for large diesel engine diagnosis was carried-out. The failure diagnosis collects and monitors the vibration state time history by using various vibration signals with reference to ISO 13373-1. Further, this monitoring system in the field of large diesel engines has not been applied practically and the results of this study are presented herein.

In this study, we proposed a method to measure and analyze the vibration problem in cargo pipes during the sea trial for 80K LPG vessel. Pipe vibration was identified as resonance with the propeller 1st order component, which is one of the main excitation forces in the normal continuous rating (NCR). In order to avoid resonance in the NCR, a reinforcement method was established through finite element method (FEM) analysis. In the future, the advance application of cargo pipe reinforcement is expected to be useful for reducing the vibration of the cargo pipes in ships whose order and specification are similar to those of the vessel used in this study.

The wind turbine blades should be designed to possess a high stiffness and should be fabricated with a light and high strength material because they serve under extreme combination of lift and drag forces, converting kinetic energy of wind into shaft work. The goal of this study is to understand the basic knowledge required to curtail the process time consumed during the construction of small wind turbine blades using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) prepeg composites. The configuration of turbine rotor was determined using the QBlade freeware program. The fluid dynamics module simulated the loads exerted by the wind of a specific speed, and the stress analysis module predicted the distributions of equivalent von Mises stress for representing the blade structures. It was suggested to modify the shape of test specimen from ASTM D638 to decrease the variance in measured tensile strengths. Then, a series of experiments were performed to confirm that the bladder compression molded CFRP prepreg can provide sufficient strength to small wind turbine blades and decrease the cure time simultaneously.

본 연구에서는 주조 2상 스테인리스강의열시효에 대한 시효온도, 시효시간 및 Nb함유량의 영향을 관찰하기 위해 기계적 성질 및 조직을 조사하였으며 Nb을 함유한 주조 2상 스테인리스강의 파괴기구를 규명하기 위해 SEM에 의한 파단면 관찰과 WDS성분분석을 통해 파괴기구의 특성을 고찰하였다. 시효온도와 시효시간이 증가함에 따라 페라니트으 미소경도가 증가하였으며 항복강도의 경우 시효온도와 시효시간에는 영향을 받지 않았으나 Nb을 함유한 재료들이 Nb을 함유치 않은 재료들에 비해 다소 낮은 항복강도 값을 보였다. 충격흡수에너지 값은 시효시간 및 시효온도의 증가에 따라 시험된 모든 재료에서 저하되었는데 0.4% Nb을 함유하는 경우 Nb을 약간 함유하거나 함유치 않은 재료들에 비해 시효시간에 따라 급격한 감소 경향을 보였다. 파단면 관찰결과 페라이트 기지 또는 페라이트/오스테나이트 상경계에서 석출된 VbC를 비롯한 탄화물들이 취성저항성을 낮추는데 크게 기여했음을 알 수 있었다.
