The purpose of this paper is to analyze dynamic behaviors of the oil film thickness and engine bearings in both aligned and misaligned operation conditions of a crankshaft using computer simulation techniques. A crankshaft as an elastic body is modeled for a misaligned crankshaft which is very important design parameter of the film thickness and engine bearings. In this analysis, a dynamic characteristic of a minimum oil film is analyzed based on the elastohydrodynamic lubrication theory. The boundary conditions for analyzing the film behaviors include non-linear constraint forces and bending moments in engine bearings. The more expedient model of an engine bearing is extended to consider the effect of crankshaft misalignment. The computed results indicate that the minimum oil film thickness that causes a major influence on the performance of engine bearings has showed a decrease of 16% to 24% for the misaligned crankshaft compared with an aligned crankshaft. The computed results show that the misalignment of a crankshaft inevitably brings the reduction of minimum oil film thickness and this may increase the failure of a bearing. These results as design parameters are very useful for a bearing designer as a firm reference data of an automotive engine.

One of the most important design concept for reinforced concrete structures is to achieve a ductile failure mode, and also moment redistribution for economic design is possible in case that adequate ductility is provided. Flexural ductility index is, therefore, used as a reference for possibility of moment redistribution as well as for prediction of flexural behavior of designed R.C. structures. Ductility index equations, however, provide approximate values due to the linear concrete compressive stress assumption at the tension steel yielding state. Theoretically more exact ductility index is calculated by a numerical analysis with the realistic stress-strain curves for concrete and steel to be compared with the result from tire ductility index equations. Variation of ductility index for the selected variables and the reasonable maximum tension steel ratio for doubly reinforced section are investigated. A moment-curvature curve model is also proposed for future research on moment redistribution.

Ocassionally it is used for simple extensions of Terzahgi's theory to account for time-depend- tint loading but there is little evidence of application in more complicated consolidation theories that take into account such effects as nonlinear stress.strain, layered systems or large strains. The purpose of this paper provides an efficient computer algorthm based on numerical analysis using finite difference method which account for multi-layered soils to determine the degree of consolidation and excess pore pressures relative to time and positions more realistically. The explicitly scheme of solving the consolidation equations has been investigated from the point of view of the stability conditions and the convergence with variance of the operator as well as to obtain an optimal divided depth ratios of total depth. A comparison of the settlement predictions with both the classical analysis and the algorithm based on numerical analysis indicates that the new algorithm scheme is found to be superior to the classical theory in the layered soils.

Electron beams have found unique and complementary used in the treatment of cancer, but it's very difficult to delineate dose distribution, because of multi-collisions. Numerical solution is more usefull to describe electron distributed in tissue. A semi-empirical eqution is given for the dose at any point at various depths in water. This equation is a modificated model which was based on solutions of a general age diffusion equation. Parameters have been calulated from electron beams data with energies 6～18MeV form a LINAC for use in computerised dosimetry calculations. The depth doses and isodose curves are predicted as a function of the practical range, source skin distance and field size. Depth dose accuracy have been achieved 2% above 50% depth dose and 5% at lower doses, relative to maximum dose. Also, the shape of the isodose curves with the constrictions at higher dose and bulging ot lower values are accurately predicted. Computer calculated beams have been used to generate ever isodose distribution for certain clinical situations.

This paper presents development of the nine-node co-rotational(CR) planar element applicable for elastoplastic and contact analysis. The CR formulation is one of the efficient geometrically nonlinear formulations. It is based on the assumptions of small strain and large displacement. Further, it is extended to both elastoplastic analysis and contact analysis in this paper. For accurate plastic analysis, nine-node quadrilateral element, which can provide accurate stress prediction, is chosen. Bi-linear hardening rule based on Newton- Raphson return-mapping is employed. Also, Lagrange multiplier is used in order for constraints regarding the contact analysis. The present development is validated via the time transient problems. The present results are compared with those obtained by the other existing software.

Soliton pulse outputs are generated with figure '8' type erbium-doped fiber laser mode-locked by using a fiber loop mirror. The fiber loop mirror consists of an erbium-doped fiber amplifier at the one end of the loop, and 504 m-long dispersion-shifted fiber as a nonlinear medium. By pumping with a $1.48{\mu}m$ wavelength laser diode and adjusting the polarization controllers inside the loop, soliton pulses are generated with 1574 nm center wavelength and 1.2 nm linewidth. The soliton pulses are found randomly spaced within the fundamental period corresponding to cavity round trip time. The autocorrelation trace shows that the pulse width is 2.4 ps, which is in good agreement with the theoretical prediction. The pulsewidth- bandwidth product is found to be 0.348 which means that the pulses are nearly transform-limited.imited.

As the demand for electric power increases, all devices operating in power stations and all devices adopted in order to deliver distant loads need to be operating in perfect condition at the level of reliability expected by consumers. In general, the lifetime of cables used in delivering high power is declared to be 30 years from the time of production. Deterioration (which is the worsening of electric properties) starts from the very moment of operation. In spite of the reduction in reliability caused by deterioration, the reality is that cables often operate at considerable risk of accidents because the reliability of operation has not been diagnosed. We have invented a device to diagnose the deterioration processes of high-voltage power cables. It has been installed and is currently operating at Korea Western Power Co., Ltd., located in Chungnam, Korea. In previously published papers we have shown graphs obtained by plotting insulation resistances versus time, through analyzing the data extracted from operating cables using the devices we have invented. In this paper, we verify that the previously plotted graphs agree with the life time index of Weibull distribution of probability.

Methyl frucloside was purified from the aqueous sugar/methyl fructoside solution by liquid chromatography using Amberlite IRA-900, strong anion-exchange resin. The optimum operating conditions, resolution and productivity of methyl fructoside were discussed to evaluate the practical feasibility of the proposed chromatographic separation process of methyl fructoside which is useful as a new starting material for sugar ester synthesis. The linear chromatography model with HETP was well applied to the chromatographic separation process of methyl fructoside and the theoretical solution successfully predicted the elution chromatogram of methyl fructoside and sucrose at different superficial linear velocity of eluent for rectangular feed with different loading volume of packed bed. The optimum operating conditions were found to be 75% with the loading volume of packed bed at 1.13 cm/min of the superficial linear velocity at $60^{\circ}C$, and gave the productivity of methyl fructoside of 7 mg/g-resin/h with the resolution of 1.1.

A mathematical model for the two-dimensional unsteady flow was developed by introducing Abbott's implicit finite difference operator and double sweep algorithm, which could be applied to simulate the respose of a harbor against the intrusion of long waves through the entrance connected to open sea. In order to improve its accuracy corresponding to the field phenomena, bottom resistance, Coriolis force, wind effect terms were included and wave direction and radiating effect was considered. The result of seiche test was always stable and the amplitude was accurate. Some phase shift was occured, but it could be reduced by using small values of Courant number and many points per a wave length as well. A comparision with the Ippen and Goda's theoritical and hydraulic experimental works was fulfilled.

This study developed an analysis model of estimating fatigue damage using the linear elastic fracture mechanics method. Stress history occurring to an element when a truck passed over a bridge was defined as block loading and crack closure theory explaining load interaction effect was applied. Stress range frequency analysis considering dead load stress and crack opening was done. Probability of stress range frequency distribution was applied and the probability distribution parameters were estimated. The Monte Carlo simulation of generating the probability various of distribution was performed. The probability distribution of failure block numbers was obtained. With this the fatigue reliability of an element not occurring in failure could be calculated. The failure block number divided by average daily truck traffic remains the life of a day. Fatigue reliability analysis model was carried out for the welding member of cross beam flange and vertical stiffener of steel box bridge using the proposed model. Consequently, a 3.8% difference was observed between the remaining life in the peak analysis method and in the proposed analysis model. The proposed analysis model considered crack closure phase and crack retard.
