Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was conducted to verify the structural safety of thruster disc brakes applied to quay cranes. Since these disc brakes are continuously exposed to heavy loads and repetitive braking conditions, ensuring sufficient structural reliability is of paramount importance. SS410 was applied as the frame material and STS405 as the pin material, and structural analysis incorporating the respective material properties was performed using ANSYS Workbench. Based on a minimum operating range of 0.5 mm, the analysis yielded a maximum deformation of 0.52 mm, an equivalent stress of 231.79 MPa, and a shear stress of 79.09 MPa in the frame; the resulting safety factor of 1.77 confirmed that stress remained below the yield strength of SS410 (410 MPa), verifying structural safety under normal operating conditions. Under the maximum operating range of 3.0 mm, a maximum deformation of 3.13 mm, an equivalent stress of 340.26 MPa, a shear stress of 155.54 MPa, and a safety factor of 1.2 were obtained, all remaining below the yield strength limit of the frame material. Although stress concentrations were localized primarily in the frame region, both components remained within their respective yield limits. The results confirm the brake's structural integrity under normal operating conditions, though the 3.0 mm case warrants design refinement to meet the recommended safety factor of 1.5. Subsequent studies will address fatigue life, thermo-structural coupling, and dynamic loading to further validate and improve the design.
The Gopura in Preah Pithu T temple, which is partially damaged and collapsed, is densely wooded and has a high percentage of humidity due to moats and ponds, the stone materials are not in good condition and significantly damaged due to intrinsic structural defects and other damage factors. The examination of major endangered and vulnerable parts through status analysis is also necessary in order to restore the Gopura in T temple in a more structurally stable state. This study proposes the effective structural safety inspection measures by applying rational structural modeling and structural analysis method reflecting the damage type by construction type and carrying out structural safety evaluation by damage type and member based on the results of analysis.
이 연구는 다목적 선박(MPV)의 공기역학적 구조물 설계, 분석 및 향상을 통해 그린 워터 압력에 의한 구조적 안전을 보장하고, 탈탄소화 및 에너지 효율성에 이바지하는 방법을 기술하였다. 유한 요소 분석(FEA)을 통한 초기 평가에서 좌굴 발생에 대한 잠재적인 취약점 이 있음을 확인하였다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 보강재(Carling stiffener)와 두께 증가를 통하여 응력을 재분배하고 국부적인 좌굴 발생의 위험을 최소화하였다. 보강 후 분석 결과, 한국선급(KR)의 안전 기준인 항복 강도, 미국 선급(ABS) 좌굴 강도 및 노르웨이 표준(NORSOK) 변 위 기준을 모두 충족하는 것이 확인되었다. 결과적으로 고유치 좌굴 해석 결과가 안전 기준을 초과하고 최대 변위가 허용 한계 내에 있는 등 중요한 개선이 이루어졌다. 이러한 개선은 극한의 해양 조건에서 운영 신뢰성을 보장할 수 있다. 이 연구는 공기역학적 항력 감소와 구조적 안전성의 이중적인 이점을 강조하며, 국제 해사 기구(IMO)의 2050 탈탄소화 목표에 부합하는 연료 효율성 및 온실가스 배출 감소에 이바지할 수 있다. 연구 결과는 다양한 선박 유형에 걸쳐 항력 감소 기술을 확장하기 위한 기초 자료를 제공하며, 지속 가능하고 탄력적인 해양 운영을 위한 대안을 제시하였다. 향후 연구는 구조적 안전 평가를 가속할 수 있는 단순화된 모델링 기술 개발에 집중할 것이다.
In this paper, among the various facilities used in marine farming, young bivalves of the Mytilus galloprovincialis of marine farming was placed on the deck of the fishing vessel to evaluate the environment conditions and drive shaft movement by rolling affecting the separator for the young bivalves and a clean process. There were a few studies on stress analysis of development facilities because it was difficult to access the fishing site due to the use of imported equipment and the lack of development of domestic equipment. In this study, stress analysis of the fixed part of separator for young bivalves and its adjacent part was performed on various phases when the vessel was tilted by rolling using the finite element method. In addition, the structural safety of the internal blade under the driving conditions according to the movement of the drive shaft by the hydraulic motor was confirmed through structural analysis. As a result, the connection part between the deck and the separator by rolling was confirmed to have higher stress than that of other parts due to stress concentration. In addition, it was confirmed that the maximum stress occurred on the connection part between blades. Even though the safety of the separator for marine farming was confirmed by structural analysis, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the age of vessels, the material of the deck, and the corrosion of the deck.
This paper proposes a method to evaluate the structural safety of a large wide-width greenhouse structure against wind load caused by a typhoon through a fluid structure interaction analysis technique. The conventional method consisted of roughly estimating the wind load based on the relevant laws and regulations, and determining safety through structural analysis. However, since the wind load changes nonlinearly according to the wind speed distribution and wind direction around the greenhouse and the external shape of the structure, there are many uncertainties in the existing structural safety evaluation method, and it is difficult to accurately determine the design margin. In this study, a systematic method was developed to accurately calculate the wind load acting on a greenhouse structure and evaluate structural safety by considering the characteristics of wind through a fluid structure interaction analysis using coupled computational fluid dynamics and computational structural mechanics. Using the proposed method, it is possible to significantly reduce the manufacturing cost because it is possible to obtain an optimal design that reduces the over-conservative design margin while securing the structural strength of the greenhouse.
Tomb of King Muryeong, located in Sonsan-ri, was found vulnerable due to leakages during since the summer of 2016. This research aims to evaluate structural safety of the Tomb under the tumulus. Site surveys were conducted to find vulnerable inner parts. Structural safety assessment is presented based on both site survey results and analytical results obtained through FEM analysis using the ANSYS program. The underground structure was explicitly modeled to focus on two types of loadings: design loads and actual gravity loads. In general, the tomb does not show any critical deflection increase or damage through the analytical investigation. However, maintenance through continuous monitoring is necessary to prevent severe deflections and stress concentrations since the rigidity of the tomb materials are very vulnerable and likely to be reduced due to prolonged weathering and continuous rain leakage.

The findings were summarized as follows. The safety check by manufacturer showed that 6 of 13 companies are over the average occurrence of defects. It was expected that there would be a difference between manufacturing technology capability and production system of each manufacturer. Consequently, manufacturers should institutionally improve and strengthen certification items for the upward standardization of safety certification before factory. Second, the safety check by year showed that the results of this study accord with those of previous studies on defect time. Consequently, manufacturers should classify the 3-year-old equipment for vehicle-mounted MEWP into a special check subject to do a nondestructive test according to proven results, and also reflect the test in a safety test system to do regular preventive activities of equipment defects. Third, the safety check by part showed that the boom and outrigger parts of vehicle-mounted MEWP have the most defects. Stress concentration resulted in defects as the boom part was most frequently operated in the structural parts for a real work. To prevent this, it is suitable to improve the hardness of boom materials. The outrigger part needs improvement in safety devices with materials. As an outrigger supports the overturning moment of equipment, it is most affected by its load based on the operating radius, resulting in fatigue crack.
