The dynamic response of an eccentric Griffith crack in functionally graded piezoelectric ceramic strip under anti-plane shear impact loading is ana lysed using integral transform method. Laplace transform and Fourier transform are used to reduce the problem to two pairs of dual integral equations, which are then expressed to Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. We assume that the properties of the functionally graded piezoelectric material vary continuously along the thickness. The impermeable crack boundary condition is adopted. Numerical values on the dynamic stress intensity factors are presented for the functionally graded piezoelectric material to show the dependence of the gradient of material properties and electric loadings.

This article deals with the transient analysis using multi-flexible body dynamics of a trailer vehicle, which is passing a bump on the flat road. In order to investigate the transient dynamic behavior of the trailer, we developed an equivalent finite element model for the trailer and a vehicle dynamic model for the truck using multi-body dynamics. The driving condition considered here is set as the trailer vehicle passes a bump on the flat road in 7km/h. And we investigate the time histories of vertical load and deflections on connecting points between the trailer and truck during the vehicle passes a bump. Due to the dynamic load resulted from the driving condition, additional stress concentrations are found in the trailer and the suspension connecting points between the trailer and rear axles along with kingpin.

It has been well known that ductile fracture of steel is accelerated by triaxiality stresses. The characteristics of ductile crack initiation in steels are evaluate quantitatively using two-parameter criterion based on equivalent plastic strain and stress triaxiality. Recently, the characteristics of critical crack initiation of steels are quantitatively estimated using the two-parameter, that is, equivalent plastic strain and stress triaxiality, criterion. This study is paid to the fundamental clarification of the effect of geometrical heterogeneity and strength mismatching, which can elevate plastic constraint due to heterogeneous plastic straining, and loading rate on critical condition to initiate ductile crack using two-parameter. Then, the crack initiation testing were conducted under static and dynamic loading. To evaluate the stress/strain state in the specimens especially under dynamic loading, thermal elastic-plastic dynamic FE-analysis considering the temperature rise was used. The result showed that the critical global strain to initiate ductile fracture in specimens with strength mismatch under various loading rate cu be estimated based on the local criterion, that is two-parameter criterion obtained on homogeneous specimens under static tension, by mean of FE-analysis taken into account accurately both strength mismatch and dynamic loading effects on stress/strain behavior.

Aluminum carbody for rolling stocks is light and perfectly recycled, but includes severe defects which are very dangerous to fatigue strength. Structural integrity assessment for the carbody by static load test has been performed up to date. In this study, to evaluate fatigue strength of the aluminum carbody of urban transit unit. a testing method to simulate dynamic loading condition was proposed and the fatigue strength of the carbody was evaluated. The dynamic load test results showed that the alternating stress ranges were different from the estimated ranges based on the static test results. Excessive stress ranges at the center are thought to come from the flexible motion of the carbody. published fatigue test data for aluminum components, but variation of alternating acceleration along the length due to flexibility of carbody yielded unexpected results. Because fatigue strength based on the static test results may be overestimated at the center, modification of testing method is necessary.

A nuclear spent fuel shipping cask is required by IAEA and domestic regulations to withstand a 9m free drop condition. In this paper, the structural analysis under the 9m side drop condition was performed to understand the dynamic impact behavior and to evaluate the safety of the cask for 7 PWR nuclear spent fuel assemblies. The analysis result was compared with the measured value of the 9m side drop test for the 1/3 scaled-down model and the accuracy of the 3D analysis was confirmed. Analysis in accordance with the diameter of impact limiters for the proto-type cask were performed. Through the analysis, the impact behaviors due to the side drop and the effects dependent on the diameter of impact limiters were grasped. Maximum stress intensities on each part of the cask were respectively calculated by using the stress evaluation program and the structural safety of the cask was finally evaluated in accordance with the regulations.

Mechanical properties of the materials used for transportations and industrial machinery under high strain rate loading conditions are required to provide appropriate safety assessment to these mechanical structures. The Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar(SHPB) technique, a special experimental apparatus, can be used to obtain the material behavior under high strain rate loading condition. In this paper, dynamic deformation behaviors of the aluminum alloys, Al2024-T4, Al6061-T6 and Al7075-T6, under high strain rate compressive and tensile loading are determined using SHPB technique.

The Main objective of the study is to find out the basic running condition of KNR EMUs since the results can be useful in designing new EMUs. We had investigated the average annual mileages and decrepit levels. After that, we performed stress analysis for the carbody when uniformly distributed vortical loads due to the weight of the car body and passengers were applied to the underframes, in order to find out the most critical sections of the underframes and the effect of corrosion on the underframe strength.. Upon performing stress analysis, we carried out running tests of EMUs on the conventional line to measure dynamic stresses applied to the underframes.

Stress granules (SGs) are stress-induced subcellular compartments, which carry out a particular function to cope with stress. These granules protect cells from stress-related damage and cell death through dynamic sequestration of numerous ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) and signaling proteins, thereby promoting cell survival under both physiological and pathological condition. During tumorigenesis, cancer cells are repeatedly exposed to diverse stress stimuli from the tumor microenvironment, and the dynamics of SGs is often modulated due to the alteration of gene expression patterns in cancer cells, leading to tumor progression as well as resistance to anticancer treatment. In this mini review, we provide a brief discussion about our current understanding of the fundamental roles of SGs during physiological stress and the effect of dysregulated SGs on cancer cell fitness and cancer therapy.

We have demonstrated the experimental results to obtain the immunity of FN (Fowler Nordheim) stress for S-RCAT (Spherical-Recess Cell Array Transistor) which has been employed to meet the requirements of data retention time and propagation delay time for sub-100-nm mobile DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory). Despite of the same S-RCAT structure, the immunity of FN stress of S-RCAT depends on the process condition of gate oxidation. The S-RCAT using DPN (decoupled plasma nitridation) process showed the different degradation of device properties after FN stress. This paper gives the mechanism of FN-stress degradation of S-RCAT and introduces the improved process to suppress the FN-stress degradation of mobile DRAM.

The interference phenomenonof a dynamic crack propagation in a inclined DEN(double edge notched) specimen has been investigated by using the dynamic photoelasticity. One crack initiated by static loading is propagated dynamically and experiences a mixed mode condition(interference) as the crack approaches to the inclined edge notch. We use the overdeterministic least-square method to extract dynamic $K_{Id}$ K sub IId/and .sigma. $_{ox}$from the recorded dynamic photoelastic pattern surounding a running crack. The evaluated $K_{Id}$ $K_{IId}$and .sigma. $_{ox}$together with the crack propagation velocity estimate the dynamic crack interference phenomenonenonon
