  • We have investigated the threshold voltage shifts(${\Delta}Vth$) and drain current level shift (${\Delta}Ids$) in subthreshold region of a-Si:H TFTs induced by DC Bias (Vgs and Vds) - Temperature stress (BTS) condition. We plotted the transfer curves and the ${\Delta}Vth$ contour maps as Vds-Vds stress bias and Temperature to examine the severe damage cases on TFTs. Also, by drawing out the time-dependent transfer curve (Ids-Vgs) in the region of $10^{-8}\;{\sim}\;10^{-13}$ (A) current level, we can estimate the failure time of TFTs in a operating condition.

  • Calibration and gauge factor readjustment process made for the health monitoring system installed in the railway bridges is reviewed and some findings are explained in this study: specifically, the calibrators made for this purpose are illustrated and the regression processes of the calibration on long-term displacement using water level sensor, longitudinal displacement using LVDT sensor, instantaneous displacement using LVDT sensors and accelerometer are described in details. Based on the regression results, new gauge factors are obtained from regression equation and another verification is made by performing another calibration again with new factors. From the second calibration, it was found that the suggested regression curves and their factors are appropriate and much better results are expected. Future work will be concentrated on the long-term analysis of the measurement data and on the database structures so that the assessment of the structure such as damage detection and remaining life estimation is possible.

  • Austenitic stainless steel was investigated under cyclic loading in electrolytes with different chloride contents and pH and at different temperatures. The testing solutions were 13.2 % NaCl (80,000 ppm $Cl^-$) at $80^{\circ}C$and 43 % $CaCl_2$ (275,000 ppm $Cl^-$) at $120^{\circ}C$. In addition to S-N curves in inert and corrosive media, the fracture surfaces were investigated with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to analyse the type of attack. The experimental results showed that a sharp decrease in corrosion fatigue properties can be correlated with the occurrence of stress corrosion cracking. The correlation of occurring types of damage in different corrosion systems is described.

  • In this paper, the strain localization of voided ductile material has been analyzed by nonlocal plasticity formulation in which the yield strength not only depends on an equivalent plastic strain measure (hardening parameter), but also on the Laplacian thereof. The gradient terms in yield criterion show an important role on modeling strain-softening phenomena of material. The influence of the mesh size on the elastic -plastic deformation behavior and the effect of the characteristic length parameter for localization prediction are also investigated. The proposed nonlocal plasticity shows that the load -strain curves converge to one curve. Results using nonlocal plasticity also exhibit the dependence of mesh size is much less sensitivity than that for a corresponding local plasticity formulation.

  • Liquefaction of soil foundation is one of the major seismic damage types of infrastructures. In this paper, deterministic and probabilistic approaches for the evaluation of liquefaction potential are briefly summarized and the risk assessment method is newly proposed using seismic fragility and seismic hazard curves. Currently the deterministic approach is widely used to evaluate the liquefaction potential in Korea. However, the there are a certain degree of uncertainties in the soil properties such as elastic modulus and resistant capacity, therefore the probabilistic approach is more promising. Two types of probabilistic approach are introduced including (1) failure probability for a given design earthquake and (2) the seismic risk of liquefaction of soil for a given service life. The results from different methods show a similar trend, and the liquefaction potential can be more quantitatively evaluated using risk analysis method.

  • In this study, sand cast AZ91E and zirconium grain refined MEZ are representative of two typical groups of magnesium alloys: those containing aluminium and those containing no aluminium but with zirconium as a grain refiner. The corrosion performance of these two alloys was evaluated and compared in 5%wt NaCI solution through measurements of weight loss and polarisation curves and examination of microstructure. Corrosion damage of AZ91E was deeper and more localised than that of MEZ, while MEZ had a lower rate of cathodic hydrogen evolution and a higher rate of anodic dissolution than AZ91E. These differences in behaviour can be related to the differences in microstructure and chemical composition between the two alloys.

  • Electronic devices are very weak against lightning surges injected from grounding systems and can be damaged. The malfunction and damage of electronic circuits bring about several disadvantages such as low operation performances, a lot of economical losses, and etc. In order to obtain the effective protection measure of electronic devices from overvoltages and lightning surges, the analysis of the transient grounding impedances is very important. The aim of this work is to evaluate the behaviors of transient grounding impedances under impulse currents and to investigate the effect of grounding lead wire. Z-t, Z-i and V-i curves of transient grounding impedance under impulse current waveforms have been measured and analyzed.

  • Recent WTO/TBT agreement was adopted by the IEC domestic. For this reason, low voltage electrical equipment was many Confusion arises. Low voltage circuit was also one of these. The case of low voltage circuit, existing domestic circuit breakers and circuit breakers IEC curve differs from the behavior of each other. If low voltage circuit breaker wrong facility, circuit breaker malfunction may occur due to the large property damage. In this paper, to solve these problems domestic circuit breakers and circuit breaker operation IEC curves were analyzed. And, through experiments suggested compatible breaker way.

  • This paper focuses on the impact of the wave passage effect on the long-span bridge. In order to make the wave passage effect more obvious, ground motion samples are selected from the near-fault ground motion of the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake and an arch bridge with a 280m main span is selected as a bridge sample. The motion ground samples are divided into two groups according to the characteristics of near-fault. A sequence of fragility curves is developed. It is shown that the seismic damage is increased by the wave passage effect and the increase is more obvious in the near-fault ground motion.

  • The thangka image inpainting method based on wavelet transform is not ideal for contour curves when the high frequency information is repaired. In order to solve the problem, a new image inpainting algorithm is proposed based on edge structural constraints and wavelet transform coefficients. Firstly, a damaged thangka image is decomposed into low frequency subgraphs and high frequency subgraphs with different resolutions using wavelet transform. Then, the improved fast marching method is used to repair the low frequency subgraphs which represent structural information of the image. At the same time, for the high frequency subgraphs which represent textural information of the image, the extracted and repaired edge contour information is used to constrain structure inpainting in the proposed algorithm. Finally, the texture part is repaired using texture synthesis based on the wavelet coefficient characteristic of each subgraph. In this paper, the improved method is compared with the existing three methods. It is found that the improved method is superior to them in inpainting accuracy, especially in the case of contour curve. The experimental results show that the hierarchical method combined with structural constraints has a good effect on the edge damage of thangka images.
