In this article, stability of composite conical shells subjected to dynamic external pressure is investigated by numerical and experimental methods. In experimental tests, cross-ply glass woven fabrics were selected for manufacturing of specimens. Hand-layup method was employed for fabricating the glass-epoxy composite shells. A test-setup that includes pressure vessel and data acquisition system was designed. Also, numerical analyses are performed. In these analyses, effect of actual geometrical imperfections of experimental specimens on the numerical results is investigated. For introducing the imperfections to the numerical models, linear eigen-value buckling analyses were employed. The buckling modes are multiplied by very small numbers that are derived from measurement of actual specimens. Finally, results are compared together while a good agreement between results of imperfect numerical analyses and experimental tests is observed.

This paper investigates on the use of advanced optical measurement methods, i.e. 3D coordinate measurement machines (3D CMM) and stereo-vision digital image correlation (3D DIC), for the mechanical analysis of shear deficient prestressed concrete members. Firstly, the experimental program is elaborated. Secondly, the working principle, experimental setup and corresponding accuracy and precision of the considered optical measurement techniques are reported. A novel way to apply synthesised strain sensor patterns for DIC is introduced. Thirdly, the experimental results are reported and an analysis is made of the structural behaviour based on the gathered experimental data. Both techniques yielded useful and complete data in comparison to traditional mechanical measurement techniques and allowed for the assessment of the mechanical behaviour of the reported test specimens. The identified structural behaviour presented in this paper can be used to optimize design procedure for shear-critical structural concrete members.

This paper presents experimental results on the energy-bounding approach to a rate-mode bilateral teleoperation control that can guarantee the robust system stability in variable time-delayed telecommunication environments. Previously, rate-mode energy bounding approach [15] was proposed and verified with experimental results using the simulated remote slave model. In this paper, a real experimental setup using an industrial robot (Denso) as a remote slave robot composed and conducted similar experiments with previous paper. In order to guarantee stability of the Denso when contacting with high impedance wall, velocity based impedance control modified by position based is used. Experimental results show that the rate-mode energy bounding approach can guarantee stable bilateral teleoperation system in the free and contact motion with variable time delay.

This paper highlights the experimental and numerical investigations performed on a tubular T-joint fabricated from circular hollow sections under axial compressive loads applied at the brace. Tests were performed on a reference joint and the joint wrapped with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP). The Nitowrap EP carbon fiber with Nitowrap 410 resin serve as a composite material is used for wrapping the T-joint. Schematic diagram of the fabricated tubular joint for the experimental test setup, along with the experimental and numerical results are presented. After performing these experiments, it has been demonstrated that the joint wrapped with CFRP has a better strength and lesser deflection than a reference joint. Finite element analysis carried out in Ansys reveals that the results were in good correlation with the experimental values.

In this study, a design scheme of an impulsive high current generating device is presented. The device is proved to be effective in producing rather complex type of the permanent magnet. Principally, the apparatus designed same to the ordinary potential transformer or current transformer, but, it has a certain differences that the primary winding of many turns is excited by d.c. source and the secondary winding of a few turns induce low voltage and high current at the instant when opening a switch in the primary circuit. This paper does not include magnet production process. Rather, it deals with the analytical studies of the devices, the designing procedure of the experimental setup, and some results from the experimental data are presented as a preliminary study. The experimental results are found to agree well with the theoritical analysis presented in this paper.

In order to understand the biomaterial like the blood vessel of artery, there is a need to quantify the biomechanical behavior of the vessel. Using computer-controlled experimental system, the experiment can acquire data such as inner pressure, axial load, diameter and axial gauge length without contacting the specimen. Rubber-liked material which is similar to passive artery was selected as pseudo-biomaterial. Deformations are measured for pressure-diameter curves. The data were collected and stored online to be used in the feedback control of experimental protocols. Finally, the illustrative data obtained from the experimental system were presented and the system shows that strain invariants are controlled to understand the nonlinear elastic behavior of biomaterial which is involved with strain energy function.

This paper describes experimental studies of impact pressure generated by breaking regular waves in shallow water on a vertical cylinder. Experimental work was carried out in a shallow water flume using a 1:30 - scale model of a vertical rigid circular hollow cylinder with a diameter 0.2 m. This represents a monopile for shallow water offshore wind turbines, subjected to depth induced breaking regular waves of frequencies of 0.8 Hz. The experimental setup included a 1 in 10 sloping bed followed by horizontal bed with a constant 0.8 m water depth. To determine the breaking characteristics, plunging breaking waves were generated. Free surface elevations were recorded at different locations between the wave paddle to the cylinder. Wave impact pressures on the cylinder at a number of elevations along its height were measured under breaking regular waves. The depth-induced wave breaking characteristics, impact pressures, and wave run-up during impact for various cylinder locations are presented and discussed.

Resistance to sliding (RS) between the bracket, wire, and ligature has been largely debated in orthodontics. Despite the extensive number of published studies, the lack of discussion of the methods used has led to little understanding of this phenomenon. The aim of this study was to discuss variables affecting RS in orthodontics and to suggest an operative protocol. The search included $PubMed^{(c)}$, $Medline^{(c)}$, and the Cochrane $Library^{(c)}$. References of full-text articles were manually analyzed. English-language articles published between January 2007 and January 2017 that performed an in vitro analysis of RS between the bracket, wire, and ligature were included. Study methods were analyzed based on the study design, description of materials, and experimental setup, and a protocol to standardize the testing methods was proposed. From 404 articles identified from the database search and 242 records selected from published references, 101 were eligible for the qualitative analysis, and six for the quantitative synthesis. One or more experimental parameters were incompatible and a meta-analysis was not performed. Major factors regarding the study design, materials, and experimental setup were not clearly described by most studies. The normal force, that is the force perpendicular to the sliding of the wire and one of the most relevant variable in RS, was not considered by most studies. Different variables were introduced, often acting as confounding factors. A protocol was suggested to standardize testing procedures and enhance the understanding of in vitro findings.

본 논문에서는 압축공기를 작동매체로 한 저압용 vortex tube에 대한 에너지분리 과정을 상세히 연구하였다. 먼저 vortex tube에서 에너지 분리되어 나오는 온공기와 냉공기의 온도변화에 대하여 실험하였고, vortex tube의 안쪽표면의 최대벽면온도 변화와 vortex tube내의 온도분포를 통하여 vortex tube내 유동장에서의 정체점의 위치에 대한 유용한 정보를 얻게되었다. 이를 바탕으로 vortex tube의 최적 길이와 throttle의 형상, sleeve에 따른 에너지분리과정 등을 실험을 통하여 알아보았다. 또한 본 연구에서는 디젤기관의 배기에 적용하기 위한 외통을 사용하였다. 이때 vortex tube에서 나오는 은공기가 180$^{\circ}$돌아 나오면서 vortex tube의 바깥쪽 벽면을 가열하게 된다. 이러한 기하학적 형상을 통하여 에너지분리효과가 증대됨으로 인하여 디젤기관의 배기가스에 적용 시 고온유동의 온도를 높이고자함에 본 연구의 목적을 두고자한다.

HWAW 기법은 시간-주파수 해석을 통해 신호/잡음비가 최대가 되는 부분을 이용하여 실험 분산곡선을 획득하고 full wavefield를 고려하는 정모델링 기법을 통해 역산을 수행한다. 따라서 다른 표면파 기법에 비해 짧은 측선 설정이 가능하며 2차원 전단파 속도 분포를 도출하기에 유리하다. 수평층 가정이 성립되지 않는 지반에서의 HWAW 기법 적용성을 평가하기 위해서 수치해석 검증 연구를 수행하였다. HWAW 기법을 통해 각 거 리별로 획득한 실험 분산곡선들은 전반적으로 full wavefield를 고려한 이론 분산곡선과 유사한 형태를 보이는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 경사면 반사파에 의한 분산곡선의 왜곡현상은 적절한 감지기 간격 조절을 통해 줄여줄 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 도출된 실험 분산곡선은 가진 원으로부터 감지기까지의 영역보다는 감지기 사이 영역에 주되게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 이로써 HWAW 기법으로 합리적인 전단파 속도 분포의 도출이 가능한 것으로 판단되었으며 고찰한 결과를 바탕으로 실제 현장에서 지반 영상화를 시도하였다.
