A number of mode shape-based structure damage identification methods have been verified by numerical simulations or experiments for on-line structure health monitoring (SHM). However, many of them need a baseline mode shape generated by the healthy structure serving as a reference to identify damages. Otherwise these methods can hardly perform well when multiple cracks conditions occur. So it is important to solve the problems above. By aid of the fractal dimension method (FD), Qiao and Wang proposed a generalized fractal dimension (GFD) to detect the delamination damage. As a modification of GFD, Qiao and Cao proposed the approximate waveform capacity dimension (AWCD) technique to simplify the calculation of fractal and overcome the false peak appearing in the high mode shapes. Based on their valued work, this paper combined and applied the AWCD method and curvature mode shape data to detect multiple damages in beam. In the end, the identification properties of the AWCD for multiple damages have been verified by groups of Monte Carlo simulations and experiments.

Corrosion assessment has a number of uses but the use considered here is as a precursor to Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) planning. Systematic methods consisting of technical modules of RBI program were used to assess the effect of specific corrosion mechanism on the probability of failure in equipments of petrochemical plants. Especially in part of the damage and corrosion assessment, screening step involved evaluating the combinations of process conditions and construction materials for each equipment item in order to determine which damage mechanisms are potentially active. For general internal corrosion, either API 510 or API 570 was applied as the damage rate in the calculation to determine the remaining life and inspection frequency. In some cases, a measured rate of corrosion may not be available. The technical modules of RBI program employ default values for corrosion, typically derived from published data or from experience with similar processes, for use until inspection results are available. This paper describes the case study of corrosion and damage assessment by using RBI methodology in petrochemical plant. Specifically, this paper reports the methodology and the results of its application to the petrochemical units using the $KGS-RBI^{TM}$ program, developed by the Korea Gas Safety Corporation to suit Korean situation in conformity with API 581 Codes.

Structural integrity of railway vehicles should last for a long period against various and continuous fatigue loadings, and the carbody structures of railway vehicle are manufactured by applying multiform welding types for each material. Since the most of cracks are occurred and proceeded at the vicinity of welding area during the lifetime of carbody structure, the fatigue strength evaluation for welding area of carbody structure should have been carried out. Rotem Company has evaluated lifetime and fatigue strength of carbody structure according to the fatigue analysis based on the international standard and/or inner-official regulation. This study introduces the fatigue analysis method that we have evaluated and calculated the damages for the welding areas of carbody structure under various fatigue loading conditions using cumulative fatigue damage rule(Miner's rule) to verify whether the cumulative damage does exceed unity. This study contains the fatigue test of specimens to derive stress-life relations(S-N curve), sub-modeling analysis and the calculation of cumulative damages under fatigue loading. The fatigue analysis verifies the welding area shall be capable of withstanding under fatigue loading, identifies how critical area shall be selected and presents the principles to be used for design verification.

Components in thermal power plants are subjected to service conditions under which creep damages take place causing material exhaustion. Comprehensive creep damage investigations have been performed on a 0.5Cr0.5Mo0.25V pipe bend which had been taken out of service after 117,603h and 501 start-ups because of severe cracks. The propagation of creep damage in a long term exposed pipe bend has been analysed by the replication, Indentation and hardness tests. Also, Calculation of creep lifetime has been investigated in order to verify actual lifetime of a damaged pipe bend. By measuring diametrical expansion, Accumulated creep strain and creep strain rate were calculated. Calculated results of creep lifetime on the Larson-Miller Parameter method are good agreement with actual service-exposed hour.

One of the considerations in weapon systems procurement is the objective of maximizing the current force. Also, offensive effects, rather than defense are valued in weapons system development and procurement. Especially, the survivability of a naval ship is equally important as the offensive effect of onboard weapons. In case of naval ships, development of attack tactics and research regarding damage minimization must be conducted through live fire exercise against actual targets in order to minimize damage from the enemy. However, it is difficult to conduct such adequate measures due to realistic limitations such as time and budget in order to verify and calculate a weapon system's attack and damage effects along with the lack of practical studies in this subject despite numerous interests. Research are being conducted utilizing M&S to estimate attack effects and study damages due to such reason, but the lack of authoritative data and development ability are limiting calculation of reliable results. Therefore, this study will propose a measure to increase survivability of a weapon system(ship/vessel) utilizing research of vulnerability from enemy attacks analysis method against a naval ship(Craft Air Cushion).

An accurate evaluation of structural damage is essential to performance-based seismic design for the structure across the earth fissure. By comparing the calculation results from three commonly used damage models and the experimental results, a weighted combination method using Chen model was selected in this paper as the seismic damage evaluation. A numerical model considering the soil-structure interaction (SSI) was proposed using ABAQUS software. The model was calibrated by comparing with the experimental results. The results from the analysis indicated that, for the structure across the earth fissure, the existence of earth fissure changed the damage distribution of the structural members. The damage of structural members in the hanging wall was greater than that in the foot wall. Besides, the earth fissure enlarged the damage degree of the structural members at the same location and changed the position of the weak story. Moreover, the damage degree of the structure across the earth fissure was greater than that of the structure without the earth fissure under the same excitation. It is expected that the results from this research would enhance the understanding of the performance-based seismic design for the structure across the earth fissure.

배경: 액체질소에 의한 냉동방법은 생물학과 의학에서 세포와 조직의 장기보존으로는 성공적인 방법이다. 잘 조절된 냉동속도와 해동의 방법과 함께 글라이세롤이나 디메칠설폭사이드 같은 냉동보존제의 사용으로 얼음결정이 생기는 것을 방지하여 구조의 유지와 생존율을 모두 향상시킬 수 있으며 반영구적으로 보존할 수 있다. 여러 조직의 초저온냉동에는 조직에 맞는 냉동속도가 있다. 대상 및 방법: 가장 적합한 냉동곡선과 이를 위한 냉동챔버온도를 찾기 위해서 우리들은 조직의 열역학적 계산을 두 가지 방법으로 하였다. 하나는 직접계산방법으로 모든 냉동 대상물의 열물리학적 특성, 잠재용융열, 면적, 농도와 체적을 알아야 계산할 수 있다. 이러한 방법은 매우 복잡하고 어떠한 경우에는 실제 값을 알 수 없다. 다른 방법은 간접계산방법으로 우선 기존의 냉동곡선으로 조직을 냉동시켜 조직의 실제 냉동곡선을 얻은 다음 시간상수로 냉동곡선을 분석한 다음 온도반응을 계산하고 적합한 x차방정식을 대입시켜 냉동 시 온도상승을 막고 이것을 거꾸로 냉동챔버온도를 산출하는 방식이다. 결과: 이 냉동 프로그램을 중배엽줄기세포, 연골세포와 골아세포에 적용시켜 검사하였다. 조직의 온도는 온도상승과정 없이 이상적인 냉동곡선을 따라 감소하였다. 그러나 세포의 양과 수용액의 양이 적어 냉동곡선간의 생존력이 통계학적으로 차이가 있지는 않았다. 만약 더욱 부피가 큰 조직을 냉동시키거나 프로그램을 순차적으로 계속한다면 이상곡선에 더욱 근접하게 되어 차이가 있을 것으로 판단된다. 결론： 이 프로그램은 이상적인 냉동곡선으로 조직을 냉동시키기 위한 냉동챔버온도를 쉽게 찾을 수 있도록 도움이 될 것이다.

Upon a turbopump's running, cavitation may occur at the inlet of the LOx pump by pressure drop and heat transfer along the LOx feeding line. Since the cavitation can cause serious damage to the pump or to stop running, the absence of the cavitation at the inlet of a turbopump should be confirmed before the using the turbopump. In the present study, the calculation of the volume fraction of LOx gas phase at the inlet of the pump are performed with different temperatures of LOx in the tank, pressure drops and heat transfers along the feeding line. This calculation method can be applied to define the limits of thermal and hydraulic characteristics during the design of a LOx feeding system.
