To increase the performance of thick-walled cylinders recently their length is continually enlarged. For that reason it is important to reduce weight of the thick-walled cylinders. In this paper the FE models to predict and estimate effects on the composite tapes were created with MSC.Nastran/Patran v.2005. First of all a autofrettage method was applied to the 2D model of the AISI4340 cylinder reduced the thick. And then the comparison of the numerical results with analysis results showed and verified by using T300/5208, IM7/PETI5, IM7/8552 tapes. Those are predicted to the effects of the angle of the composite tapes and elastic modulus according to the composite properties.

Fiber-reinforced composite laminates have high specific stiffness and strength and are expected to be useful for weight reduction in weight-sensitive industries, such as automotive and aerospace. However, designing composite laminates is often dependent on designer's experience and intuition because of difficulties in determining the number of plies and stacking sequence, which tends to lead to over-design. In this study, optimal design of composite laminates was performed to minimize weight, while withstanding the given load. Based on the enumeration method, all combinations of stacking sequence satisfying the design guideline for composite laminates were considered. Composite laminates were discretized into panels. Optimal number of plies and stacking sequence for each panel were determined considering local load on each panel and contiguity across adjacent panels. Failure index from Tsai-Wu criteria was optimized for strength and buckling analysis was performed for compressive load. Stacking angles of 0, ±45 and 90° were used.

For two kinds of 25Cr-20Ni stainless steels, STS310J1TB and STS310S with and without a small amount of Nb and N, creep behavior has been studied in a stress and temperature range from 147 to 392 MPa and from 923 to 773 K with a special reference to tertiary creep. The average creep life of STS310J1TB was about 100 times longer than that of the STS310S. The apparent activation energy for the initial creep rate was 330 kJ/mol in STS310J1TB, while that of the STS310S was 274kJ/mol in a power law creep region and 478 kJ/mol in a region of power law breakdown (PLB). The activation energy for STS310S below PLB is close to the for self-diffusion. When compensating for the temperature dependence of the Young's modulus and the omega value, it was found that the apparent activation energy for STS310J1TB was reduced to the activation energy for diffusion of chromium atom in gamma steel. The stress exponent of STS310S was about 12.3 above PLB and 5.1 in a power law creep region. Notwithstanding that the creep condition for STS310J1TB was in a power law creep region, its stress exponent was 7.9 larger than that of STS310S corresponding to the same creep conditions. This was ascribed to the presence of fine precipitates in STS310J1TB.

The heat sink system for a main board in a network server computer is built on printed circuit board by an anchor structure, mounted by eutectic SnPb solder. The solder creeping is caused by a constant high temperature condition in the computer and it eventually makes fatal failures. The FE model is used to calculate the stress and predict the life of soldered anchor in the computer. In the model, Anand constitutive equation is employed to simulate creep characteristics of solder. The creep test is conducted to verify and calibrate the solder model. A special jig is designed to mitigate the flexure of printed circuit board and to get the creep deformation of solder only in the test. Test results are compared with analysis and calibration is conducted on Anand model's constants. Precise life prediction of soldered anchor in creep condition can be performed by this model.

In general, there are various approaches available in literature to model discontinuous rock masses and engineers are often confused which one to use for designing structures in rock masses. Modelling rock masses can be classified mainly into two approaches. One is discrete modelling of intact rock and discontinuities and the other is the equivalent continuum modelling. In this study five models are selected ;(1) Crack tensor model, (2) Equivalent volume defect model, (3) Damage model, (4) Micro - structure model (Parallel model and Series model), and (5) Homogenization model. Most of these models are mainly concerned with how to define additional strain due to discontinuities over the representative elementary volume (REV) and how to relate the stress field of discontinuities to that acting on the REV. The characteristics of these models are clarified by comparing with results of some laboratory tests.

Silicon direct bonding technology is very attractive for both silicon-on-insulator devices and sensor fabrication because of its thermal stress free structure and stability. The process of SDB includes hydration of silicon wafer and heat treatment in a wet oxidation furnace. After hydration process, hydroxyl groups of silicon wafer were analyzed by using Fourier transformation-infrared spectroscopy. In case of hydrophilic treatment using a ($H_{2}O_{2}\;:\;H_{2}SO_{4}$) solution, hydroxyl groups are observed in a broad band around the 3474 $cm^{-1}$ region. However, hydroxyl groups do not appear in case of diluted HF solution. The bonded wafer was etched by using tetramethylammonium hydroxide etchant. The surface of the self etch-stopped silicon dioxide is completely flat, so that it can be used as sensor applications such as pressure, flow and acceleration, etc..

In this paper the solidification phenomena at the molten pool has been modeled and simulated in terms with the one dimensional unsteady-state heat transfer of the solid and molten phase and the pressure distribution in the solid phase for the twin-roller continuous casting of Sn-15% Pb. The further purpose of this study was to effectively analyze the thermal and mechanical deformation of roll applying the results of the heat transfer and the pressure distribution to the boundary conditions. The strip thickness of rapidly solidified metallic strip decreases with increasing angular velocity of the roller and with increasing initial roll gap. For this reason the roll spacing and angular velocity of the rolls are considered to be main variables. The recommended optimal casting regimes for continuous strip dimensions is near 0.8mm-1.0mm in thickness at the given angular velocity .omega.=2.0 rad/sec. Results of the experiment using Sn-15% Pb are compared with model predictions. The calculated roll deformation has been in good agreement with the observed value of roll deformatiion. All the deformation. All the deformation of the roller is within the elastic range, the plastic yielding are not occured. However, these elastic stresses are sufficient to take place of the shortened roller life by the thermal fatigue and a notch fatigue. The higher cooling rates were obtained by a twin-roller quenching technique. Also the quenched microstructure of the rapidly solidified shell was verified.

Generally, numerical approaches of evaluation for vehicle seat comfort have been studied without considering time-dependent characteristics and the only seating moment have been considered in seat design. However, the comfort not only at the seating moment but also in the long-term should be evaluated because the passengers are sitting repeatedly on the seat to drive the vehicle for hours. So, the aim of this paper is to carry out a quantitative evaluation of the time-dependent mechanical characteristics of seat foams and to suggest a process for predicting the viscoelastic deformation of seat foam in response to long-term driving. To characterize the seat materials, uniaxial compression and tension tests were carried out for the seat foam and stress relaxation tests were performed for evaluating the viscoelastic behavior of the seat foam. A unit solid element model was used to verify the reliability of the material model with respect to the compression behavior of the seat foam. It is not straightforward to evaluate the time-dependent compression of foams using the explicit solver because the viscoelastic material model is limited. To use the explicit solver, the material model must be modified using stress-degradation data. Normalized stress relaxation moduli were added to the stress-strain curves obtained under static conditions to achieve a time-dependent set of stress-strain relations that were compatible with the implicit solver. There was good agreement between the analysis results and experimental data.

국부세굴의 발생은 일반적으로 흐름조건, 구조물 조건과 하상재료 세 가지의 주 원인으로 구분할 수 있다. 흐름조건의 경우 구조물 영향으로 발생되는 3차원적인 와류가 주요원인이며 하상재료의 경우 여러 요인이 있겠지만 비중이 같은 입자라 가정할 경우 입자의 크기를 주요 변수로 정할 수 있다. 교각 국부세굴에 관한 연구는 1960년대 이후 연구자들에 의해 매우 다양하게 수행되어 졌으며 많은 산정공식도 제시되었다. 하지만 기존 연구는 최대세굴심 조건으로 다양한 하상재료와 시간에 대한 세굴변동(홍수사상 등)에 대한 영향을 고려하는데 어려움이 있다. 특히 국내의 경우 다양한 하상재료와 홍수빈도를 고려할 때 이에 대한 세굴적용은 매우 중요한 인자라 할 수 있다. 따라서 교각세굴에 대한 궁극적인 목적은 다양한 하상재료와 홍수빈도를 고려할 수 있는 세굴평가를 제안하는데 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 우선적인 연구로 입자의 다양성과 이미지 기법을 이용한 실시간 측정을 통해 보완하여 입자에 따른 시간적 변화를 분석하였다. 현재 4가지의 하상재료의 입경차이에 따른 국부세굴의 시간적 변화와 초기세굴 발생의 수리적 조건을 파악하고 기존연구와 비교분석하였으며, 이를 기초자료로 세굴심$(S,\;S_{max})$, 교량주변 전단력$({\tau}_p,\;{\tau}_{pc})$, 접근수로부 전단력$({\tau}_a)$와 입자한계전단력$({\tau}_c)$에 대한 시간분석 (time effect)을 통해 다양한 하상재료와 홍수빈도를 해석을 위한 초기분석을 수행하는데 목적이 있다. 수리모형실험에 사용된 가변경사수로의 제원은 $0.6m(W){\times}20m(L){\times}2m(H)$이며 모형구조물은 투명한 아크릴로 제작하였다. 실험방법은 교각 내부에 CC카메라를 전 후면 및 상측면에 설치하여 세굴 발생을 실시간으로 촬영한 후 이미지 분석을 통해 분석하였다.

In order to investigate the short-term performance of polyethylene electrofusion joints, the mechanical tests and stress analysis have been conducted to the artificially defected weld joints. The defects of lack of fusion with a square-type were fabricated with 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60$\%$ size of the width of heat-ing wire zone, respectively. In this defect sires range, both tensile and bending test results showed the dependence of defect size to the electrofusion joints performance, but both sustained pressure and crush test results didn't. The numerical stress analysis results including the soil and internal pressures, tensile and bend-ing stresses clearly showed the dependence of fusion defect size. Based on both mechanical test and stress analysis results, the maximum acceptable defect size in polyethylene electrofusion joints is discussed.
