This paper presents the results of an investigation into the post-buckling behaviour and ultimate strength of imperfect corroded steel plates used in ship and other marine-related structures. A series of elastic-plastic large deflection finite element analyses is performed on randomly corroded steel plates. The effects of general corrosion on both sides of the plates are introduced into the finite element models using a random thickness surface model. The effects on plate compressive strength as a result of parametric variation of the corroded surface geometry are evaluated. A proposal on the effective thickness is concluded in order to estimate the ultimate strength and explore the post-buckling behaviour of randomly corroded steel plates under uniaxial compression.

Aluminum alloys have been used with various thicknesses suitable for light weight of structure. It is known that the thickness effect of material is an important factor affecting fatigue crack propagation under constant fatigue stress condition. In this work, we presented the behavior of fatigue crack propagation in thin plate compared to thick plate Al 2024-T3 alloy with referred thickness effect in a correlative equation determined by the shape factor and the loading factor. We chose two factors that are used in the correlative equation with considering that the experiments were carried out under a constant fatigue stress condition. The thickness ratio of thin plate compared to thick plate and the equivalent effective stress intensity factor ratio depending on thickness were chosen as shape and loading factors. A correlative equation is utilized to determine the equivalent effective stress intensity factor range of thin plate and identify the degree of increasing phenomenon of fatigue life in thin plate compared to thick plate.

한국원자력연구소에서는 사람의 폐에 침착된 방사성핵종의 in vivo 측정을 위해 사용되고 있는 Ge 검출기의 교정을 위해 LLNL 팬텀을 구입하였다. 제작사는 팬팀 위에서 phoswich 검출기의 위치설정을 돕기 위해 팬텀의 몸통덮개판과 이의 오버레이판 위에 동심원을 그려 놓았으며, 그리고 동심원내에서 측정된 팬텀의 가습벽유효두께를 제공하였다. 그러나 Ge 검출기의 면적이 phoswich 검출기보다 작기때문에 phoswich 검출기를 위한 동심원은 한국원자력연구소에서 사용중인 Ge 검출기에는 적합하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 제작사에 의해 제공된 팬텀의 가슴벽 유효두께가 Ge 점출기에 적합한지, 새로운 자료가 교정에 사용되어야 하는지를 결정하기 위해 팬텀의 가슴벽유효두께를 재평가하였다 그결과 한국원자력연구소에서 새로 설정한 Ge 검출기영역과 phoswich 검출기영역에서의 가습벽유효두께는 다소 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Many steel bridge infrastructures in the world are getting older, and a large number of these structures are in need of maintenance, rehabilitation or replacement. Most of them are subjected to corrosion due to exposure to aggressive environmental conditions and inadequate maintenance, causing reduction of their carrying capacities. In order to have an adequate bridge management, it is of paramount importance to develop an efficient, accurate and rapid condition assessment method which can be used to make reliable decisions affecting the cost and safety. Therefore, a simple and accurate method of calculating remaining yield and tensile strength by using a concept of representative effective thickness with correlation of initial thickness and maximum corroded depth is proposed in this study, based on the results of many tensile coupon tests of corroded plates obtained from a steel plate girder with severe corrosion, used for about 100 years. Furthermore, a strength reduction diagram which will be very useful for bridge inspection engineers to make rational decisions about the maintenance management of aged steel bridge infrastructures is presented.

두께 10$\mu\textrm{m}$ 이하의 코발트계 극박형 비정질합금의 진공중 용탕급냉방법에 의한 제조조건과 자기적 특성에 대해 연구되었다. 구리 냉각롤의 회전 선속도를 55 m/s로 하였을 때, 0.05 kgf/cm2 이하의 용탕분사압 조건에서 극박형 리본이 얻어졌다. 합금 두께는 용탕분사 가스압력의 감소에 비례하여 직선적으로 감소하였으며, 이와 동시에 폭의 감소도 함께 일어났다. 이는 극박형 합금을 만들기 위해 용탕분사압을 극단적으로 감소시키면 노즐구의 양단부에서 용융금속과 노즐 사이의 마찰효과가 크게 나타나 유효분사압이 현저히 감소하는 데에 기인하는 것으로 해석되었다. 저주파(1 kHz) 실효투자율은 대략 2차 함수의 관계로 리본 두께의 감소에 따라 저하되었다. 반면 보자력은 두께의 감소에 반비례하여 증가하였는데, 이들 현상은 거의 전적으로 표면효과의 증대에 의한 자벽이동의 억제에 그 원인이 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 그러나 고주파(1 MHz) 실효투자율은 두께의 감소에 따라 증가하였는바 이는 와전류 발생이 억제되어 자기장 방향으로의 자화회전이 보다 용이해지기 때문으로 생각되었으며, 결과적으로 극박화에 의해 MHz 대역에서 우수한 저손실 성질을 나타내는 자심 특성의 실현이 가능하였다.

A procedure is proposed for determining the initial thickness distribution in oder to produce a specified final thickness distribution for the axisymmetrical superplastic blow forming processes. Weighted parameter is introduced to improve the simple ad $d_traction method and the initial blank thickness distribution is obtained by optimizing the weighted parameter. This method is applied to superplastic free bulging process with the uniform thickness distribution of final shape to confirm its validity. The optimum initial blank thickness distributions is obtained from arbitrary axisymmetrical superplastic blow forming processes such as dome, cone and cylindrical cup forming with die contact. It is concluded that the ad $d_traction method with weighted parameter is an effective method for an optimum blank thickness distribution design.esign.

Purpose: This study was performed to investigate effects of behavior modification on obesity index, skinfold thickness, body fat, serum lipids, serum leptin in obese elementary school children. Method: Forty seven students were selected from two elementary schools. Twenty four children in one school were assigned to experimental group and twenty three children in another school were assigned to control group. Experimental group was received 60～70 minutes of behavior modification once a week for 8 weeks. Result: Obesity index of the experimental group was significantly decreased after behavior modification. But there was no significant difference between two groups. The increase of skin fold thickness was significantly low in the experimental group compared to the control group. Percentage of body fat and fat mass were significantly decreased in the experimental group. Fat free mass was significantly increased in the experimental group. HDL-C, triglyceride and serum leptin between the experimental group and control group showed no significant difference. Conclusion: These results indicate that behavior modification is effective in decreasing percentage of body fat and fat mass, in less increasing skinfold thickness and in increasing fat free mass. In conclusion, behavior modification can be used as effective strategy for managing obesity in elementary school children.

Background: This study comparatively evaluated the effects of equipment-based pilates exercises (EPE) and lumbar stability exercises (LSE) in patients with chronic low back pain in terms of their Visual Analogue Scale(VAS), Oswestry Disability Index(ODI), and abdominal muscle thickness. Methods: A total of 30 participants were recruited and randomly assigned to either the EPE or the LSE. The VAS, ODI, and abdominal muscle thicknesses of the participants were measured before and after the intervention. Results: The EPE were more effective in terms of the duration of a sustained reduction in VAS scores. post hoc test revealed that EPE were more efficacious in terms of a sustained improvement in ODI scores. With respect to changes in abdominal muscle thickness, there was a significant difference in the thickness of internal oblique muscles(IO) and the external oblique muscles(EO) between the two groups. Conclusion: In this study, both types of exercise interventions resulted in improvements in the VAS, ODI scores, and abdominal muscle thickness in patients with chronic low back pain. However, EPE were found to be more effective than LPE in terms of longer sustained improvements in VAS and ODI scores. Also, with respect to abdominal muscle thickness, the thickness of EO and IO improved only in the EPE group.

Analytic equations are derived from physical quantities in the gate-source overlap region and the concept of effective gate-source overlap length is proposed. The effective overlap length can be affected by gate voltage, insulator thickness and semiconductor thickness, and the overlap length should be larger than the length to obtain maximum driving current.

Keeping the layer thickness constant is very essential for improving the shape accuracy in the stereolithography process. The layer thickness is created by recoating process, and also affected by recoating parameters such as blade speed and thickness. The created layer in this process can determine the whole accuracy of the entire parts. The aim of this paper is to improve the accuracy of the layer thickness by adjusting the recoating process parameters. Several experiments with different recoating conditions are Performed to find the optimal recoating parameters that produce the most accurate layer thickness. The effective recoating method is suggested by measuring and analyzing the cured layer thickness.
