A model for thermal interactions of debris/water with gas flow from within and below debris bed was presented for severe accident analysis in LWR. The consumption of steam, production of hydrogen in the debris bed, generation of gases from below debris bed and generation of chemical heat are included in the conservation equations. The model has been incorporated in the MARCH code to estimate the gas production due to both metal/oxidation and hot debris/concrete interaction. The results indicate that the hydrogen source can potentially give a significant impact on the containment pressure transient and the conductive heat loss to concrete and the convective gas cooling in the debris bed have a small effect on the debris bed coolability. However, the reheating and melting of the debris particles could be delayed by the interaction of debris with concrete.

This paper presents the structural characteristic analysis of a centerless grinding machine with concrete bed. The centerless grinding machine is composed of grinding wheel head, regulating wheel head, concrete bed, wheel dresser and so on. Especially, the concrete bed is introduced to improve the static, dynamic and thermal characteristics of the centerless grinding machine. The structural analysis model of centerless grinding machine is constructed by the finite element method, and the structural characteristics in the design stage are estimated based on the structural deformation and harmonic response under the various testing conditions related to gravity force and directional farces

In the rail facilities, the rail track consists of rail, tie, fastening, accessories and bed. The rail track is largely divided into Ballast Bed Track (BBT) and Concrete Bed Track (CBT) according to the type of bed. In this thesis, among Concrete Bed Track, slab track, which is used for the Japanese high speed railway, is a target of this study. Dynamic analysis by using finite element method are performed where moving train load is periodic function. Then through parametric study, some conclusions are obtained as follows. Cement Asphalt Mortar (CAM) affects contrary mechanical behavior to rail and slab greatly. Therefore, change of CAM spring coefficient should be handled with care. For slab thickness, thin slab is more profitable to reduction of vibration of rail than thick one but mechanical capacity of slab is deteriorated. Improved structural type is proposed, then structural analysis is performed for this one. This type is effective to reduction of vibration of railway system.

To analyze the effect of the track structure on the running performance of the railway vehicle, we studied on the vibration and ride characteristics of the high speed train. As results, vibration and ride level of high speed train on the concrete bed track is more reduced than on the ballast bed track. Peak-peak value of carbody vibration on the concrete bed track at 300km/h is half of the peak-peak value of carbody vibration on the ballast bed track. Ride level on the concrete bed track at 300km/h is same level as that on the ballast bed track at 250km/h. Thus, Vibration and ride performance of the high speed train on the concrete bed track is greatly improved compared with that on the ballast bed track.

Pre-tension Girder using Precast Concrete bed System have advantage of simplifying construction process, reducing prestress-loss and cost compared with post-tension Girder. That is because it is possible to produce pre-tension Girder by prefabricated concrete bed in site not factory. This paper present pre-tension girder method using precast concrete bed system and field application.

To maximize the productivity in machining molds and dies, machine tools should operate at high speeds. During the high speed operation of moving frames or spindles, vibration problems are apt to occur if the machine tool structures are made of conventional steel materials with inferior damping characteristics. However, self-excited vibration or chatter is bound to occur during high speed machining when cutting speed exceeds the stability limit of machine tool. Chatter is undesirable because of its adverse effect on surface finish, machining accuracy, and tool life. Furthermore, chatter is a major cause of reducing production rate because, if no remedy can be found, metal removal rates have to be lowered until vibration-free performances is obtained. Also, the resonant vibration of machine tools frequently occurs when operating frequency approaches one of their natural frequencies because machine tools have several natural frequencies due to their many continuous structural elements. However, these vibration problems are closely related to damping characteristics of machine tool structures. The polymer concrete has high potential for machine tool bed due to its good damping characteristics with moderate stiffness. This paper presents the use of polymer concrete and sandwich structures to overcome vibration problems. Also, co-cure bonding method for functional part mounting was exhibited experimentally, by which manufacturing time and cost for polymer concrete bed will be remarkably reduced.

High-speed and high-precision are trendy at present in the development of machine tools which are required for various fields of industry such as semiconductor, automobde, mold fabricat~on and so on. High damping capacity of the structure is an iniportant factor to ohtain precise products without vibration during manufacturing caused by rapid trarisportatm and rotation of spindle unit Resin concrete have high potential for machine tool bed due to its good damping characteristics.

High-precision centerless grinding machines are emerging as a means of finishing the outer diameter grinding process required for ferrules, which are widely used as fiber optic connectors. In this study, a structural characteristic analysis and evaluation were carried out using a virtual prototype of a centerless grinding machine to realize systematic design technology and performance improvements required to manufacture ferrules. The prototype consisted of a concrete-filled bed, hydrostatic grinding wheel (GW) and regulating wheel (RW) spindle systems, a hydrostatic RW feed mechanism, a RW swivel mechanism, and on-machine GW and RW dressers. The loop stiffness values of the centerless grinding machine were estimated based on the relative displacements between the GW and RW caused by grinding forces. The simulated results illustrated that a concrete-filled bed considerably improved the structural stiffness and accuracy of a high-precision centerless grinding machine.
