The influences of mixed mode of bending-tension on the Ic degradation and their interaction on the strain effect were evaluated in this study. A test fixture which applies a mixed deformation mode of bending-tension to HTS tapes has been newly devised. When the strain induced in the tape due to the mixed deformation mode was expressed as a total tensile strain, the irreversible strain to the critical current degradation of Bi-2223 tapes increased when compared with the case of simple bending mode, and the value at both ends were larger than that at the central region of the bend part. The Ic degradation behavior at the region exceeding the irreversible strain showed quiet a rapid drop of the Ic when compared with the simple bending cases. As the applied bending strain increased namely as the diameter of mandrel adopted decreased, the apparent irreversible strain of Bi-2223 tapes increased However, the increment decreased as the mandrel diameter decreased. As a result, it could be found that the tension to be applied to the Bi-2223 tapes during cabling of HTS tapes should be smaller, as the mandrel diameter becomes smaller.

In this paper, sound pressure sensitivity of the fiber optic acoustic sensor according to sensor direction and mandrel material were investigated experimentally. Three different directions were selected as stand, lay, and hole. Hollow cylinder type mandrel dimension is 30 mm in outer diameter, 45 mm in length, and 2 mm in thickness, and about 50 m optical fibers were wounded on the surface of the mandrel. Non-directional sound speaker was used as a sound source. Sagnac interferometer and single mode fiber, a laser with 1,550 nm in wavelength, $2{\times}2$ coupler were used. Based on the experimental results, lay direction's sensitivity is the highest in the frequency range of 2 kHz~4 kHz. 'PTFE+carbon' material is more sensitive than PTFE in the frequency range of 5 kHz~20 kHz. Sound pressure detection sensitivity depends on the mandrel direction and material under certain frequency.

This paper deals with effects of certain important factors in a tube drawing operation, such as the use of a mandrel, die radius and tangential angle at die outlet, on the deformation behavior of a small-diameter seamless tube. Both experimental and finite element simulation studies are carried out to assess the effects of the above parameters. Experiments and finite element predictions are compared. The use of a mandrel simplifies the design of tube drawing, but also induces some difficulties from increased process complexity. The effects of die outlet tangential angle and radius are discussed in detail.

Evaluation of the smear effect caused by mandrel penetration into soft ground for a vertical drain installation is very important to predict the consolidation time of soft ground improvement. 30 kinds of laboratory model tests considering in situ conditions were conducted to investigate the formation of a smear zone and the decrease of coefficient of permeability in the disturbed zone. Three types(C(clay):M(silt)=1:1, 0.5:0.5, and 0:1) of reconstituted samples were used for 3 dimensional smear zone test. An experimental study was performed focusing on length of mandrel penetration, mandrel shape and size, earth pressure, and ground condition(unit weight and grain size distributions). Laboratory test results show that the length of mandrel penetration is the most critical factor for the formation of smear zone. As a result, the ratio between diameter of the smear zone($d_s$) and that of mandrel($d_m$) at field using long mandrel becomes larger than conventional $d_s/d_m$. The ratio between $d_s$ and $d_m$ ranges from 1.89 and 2.48 with the sample at C:M=1:0. It was also found that the $d_s/d_m$ value with the round shape of the mandrel is smaller than that of diamond one. The value of $d_s/d_m$ decreased with larger mandrel size, lower unit weight, and higher earth pressure. However, higher silt content led to increase of $d_s/d_m$. The ratio between coefficient of horizontal permeability in the smear zone($k_{hs}$) and that of undisturbed zone($k_{ho}$) ranged from 0.70 to 0.85. The test results imply that factors and values affecting $k_{hs}/k_{ho}$ show similar tendency with $d_s/d_m$.

An experimental study was conducted to evaluate the smeared effect due to mandrel penetration into soft ground for a vertical drain installation. Laboratory tests were performed to investigate the formation of a smear zone, the variations of strength, and the consolidation characteristics in the disturbed zone using two types(CL at Yangsan site and OH at Pohang site) of soft clayey soils. The smear zone effect was evaluated focusing on mandrel shape, mandrel size, penetration speed, and ground condition. Based on laboratory test results, the diameter of the smear zone$(d_s)$ ranged from 3.08 and 3.92 times that of mandrel$(d_m)$. It was also found that the $(d_s/d_m)$ value of the circular shape of the mandrel is smaller than those of square and rectangular shapes. The value of $(d_s/d_m)$ decreased with larger mandrel size, lower penetration speed in the CL soil, and higher penetration speed in the OH soil. However, natural water content was minimally affected by $(d_s/d_m)$. Respectively, the coefficients of horizontal consolidation$(C_{hs})$ and horizontal Permeability$(K_s)$ of smear zone ranged from 0.81 to 0.87 times, and 0.73 to 0.83 times those of the undisturbed zone. Based on this study, the values of $C_{hs}, K_s$ and unconfined compressive strength$(q_{us})$ in the smear zone were the lowest at close vicinity of the mandrel and increased linearly with distance from the mandrel. Further, the $(q_{us})$ varied from 0.5 to 0.9 times that of the undisturbed zone strength.

In this research Sagnac interferometer three different types of mandrel are suggested and this fiber optic sensor is using in monitoring of electric transformer. Vibration characteristics of those mandrels were analyzed and finally more sensitivity mandrel are suggested. Three different mandrels using in fiber optic sensor are hollow cylinder with outer bump, pure hollow cylinder, hollow cylinder with inner bump. Natural frequencies and mode shapes are investigated using finite element method. Mode shape are considered at the frequency range from 2 kHz to 20 kHz. Fundamental dimensions of the hollow cylinder type's mandrel are 30 mm in outer diameter, 50 mm in length, 1 mm in cylinder thickness, $2mm{\times}2mm$ in bump size. Based on the finite element results, when the outer acoustic frequency is near 11 kHz outer bump type and hollow cylinder can get higher sensitivity. Near 17 kHz outer bump and inner bump mandrel can get higher sensitivity. Near 20 kHz hollow cylinder and inner bump mandrel is useful. This results can be applied to design of fiber optic sensor using in monitoring the electrical transformer. Several MHz of outer acoustic frequency can be easily detected using more sensitive mandrel in pursuing expand this technique.

In case high strength steels are applied for press-formed automotive parts, it is very difficult to secure forming accuracy due to large springback compared to moderate strength steels. In this study, a repetitive step-wise forming analyses based on secant method was proposed as the die design method for mandrel(bending tool) for the 2-axis bending equipments. A bending die with circular mandrel was designed for the DP780 blow motor case of which diameter and thickness are 70.8mm and 2.0mm respectively. Forming tests were performed to verify the validity of established die design and the results were compared with that of conventional HGI(Hot galvanized iron steel) blow motor case. For additional improvement in forming accuracy, an elliptical mandrel was proposed and its validity was verified using forming analyses based on secant method.

In this paper, a ground disturbance effects, strength and consolidation characteristics of soft clay through using the large block samples($\theta$:300mm, H:400mm) and the piston samples, f hose which had been gathered in west coast and south coast. Especially, we have assessed the coefficient of horizontal consolidation when penetrating the mandrel considering the variance of ratio between diameter and height in drainage sample through the experiment of the oedometer test and Rowecell and also investigated the disturbance area in smear zone by interior model test, the strength originated by disturbance, the variance in characteristics of the consolidation. As the result, the large block sample has been investigated that ihe uniaxial compression test(qu) was shown bigger than the piston sample by about 11-19%. Under the size of anistropy in consolidation, the coefficient ratio of consolidation(ch/cv,) perfomed by standard consolidation test(SC) was shown bigger than that of (Cro/Cv) by the Rowecell test. And the coefficient ratio of consolidation(Cro/Cv) perfomed by piston sample was evaluated bigger than that Of (Cro/Cv) by the large block sample by about 0.9-1.9. The coefficient ratio of consolidation along with the variance in ratio of between diameter and height when penetrating the mandrel was shown big difference according to the characteristics of soil of the specimen. In addition, ds/dw of smear zone at the marine clay in west-south was ranged from 1.6 to 4.2. The width of variance in rat io[(qud)/(quud)] of strength n the area between disturbance and undisturbance was shown big as about 72-91% but the principle was judged with the similiar range when the decrease of the strength in smear zone become the zone under 25% in unditurbance area.

The influences of mixed strain mode of bending-tension on the critical current. Ic in externally reinforced Bi-2223 tapes and their interaction were investigated in this study. A test fixture which providing a mixed deformation mode of bending-tension to HTS tapes has been newly devised. When the total strain induced in the tape in the mixed strain mode was expressed by the superposition of the bending and tensile strains the irreversible strain for the critical current degradation of Bi-2223 tapes increased, as compared with the simple bending mode case. The $I_c$ degradation at the region exceeding the irreversible strain showed a medium between the simple bending case and the simple tension case. As the initial bending strain imparted increased , namely as the diameter of mandrel adopted decreased. the apparent irreversible strain in Bi-2223 tapes increased . but the increment became smaller As a result. it can be found that the tension to be applied to bent Bi-2223 tapes during cabling should be smaller. as the mandrel diameter becomes smaller.

It was achieved that Rowecell test for this undisturbed sample was picked by Block sampler($\phi$:250mm, L:500mm) and hydraulic piston sampler($\phi$:76mm, L:850mm) in the marine clay of YONGYUDO and YEONGJONGDO in this research. Ratio of coefficient of consolidation was analyzed through comparison with C$\_$h/ by CPTu and C$\_$v/ and C$\_$h/ by existent consolidation test. According to analysis, coefficient of consolidation of block sample is fairly greater than coefficient of consolidation of piston sample. And the bigger diameter of undisturbed sample, sample disturbance could know decreasing. Coefficient of consolidation by Rowecell test measured more greatly than coefficient of consolidation by existent consolidation test. Rowecell test could know decreasing consolidation rate because of smear effect by Mandrel injection. Also, C$\_$h/ by CPTu shows deviation by each analysis method, selection of suitable analysis method judged by important leading in the coefficient of consolidation.
