Based on the facts that AZ31 magnesium alloy can be blow formed just like superplastic aluminum alloys and that most superplastic alloys fail by cavitation, the present study was undertaken to investigate the cavitation behavior of a fine-grained AZ31 sheet during blow forming at the elevated temperature. Other points of interest included the much lower strain rate and temperature dependencies of the magnesium alloy compared with conventional superplastic alloys. It was also aimed to find if cavitation in the AZ31 alloy can be suppressed by hydrostatic pressure, as is the case in most superplastic alloys. Interestingly, the application of hydrostatic pressure did not increase the blow formability of AZ31 sheet, even though it reduced the degree of cavitation. A possible reason for this behavior is discussed.

The compressive characteristics of thick carbon/epoxy composite in a submarine environment was investigated in this study. The specimens made of thick carbon fiber/epoxy composite that were immersed into seawater Jar thirteen months. the seawater content at saturation was about $1.2\%$ of the specimen weight. Compressive tests have been performed in different hydrostatic pressures of 0.1 MPa, 100 MPa, 200 MPa, and 270 MPa. The results showed that the compressive elastic modulus increased about $12.3\%$ as the hydrostatic pressure increased from 0.1 MPa to 200 MPa. The results also showed that compressive fracture strength increased $28\%$ and compressive fracture strain increased $8.5\%$ as the hydrostatic pressure increased from 0.1 MPa to 270 MPa.

The hydraulic piston using a hydrostatic bearing has been used widely due to its satisfying performance at very high pressurized circumstance and relative higher power density in comparison to conventional one. For high pressurization, enhanced efficiency and long durability of the hydraulic piston, the design of hydrostatic bearing is at issue, which is installed between piston shoe and swash plate. The performance of the hydrostatic bearing is influenced significantly by the assembly of the piston shoe consisting of circular land and recess. In this study, to estimate the performance of the hydrostatic bearing, the characteristics for lubrication of the assembly of the piston shoe were investigated by measuring a leakage rate of hydraulic fluid under an experimental condition, where a rotating velocity of the piston, hydraulic pressure and temperature of the hydraulic fluid were changed systematically. In addition, a film thickness of the hydraulic fluid on the piston shoe was measured and compared to theoretical one.

The hydrostatic slipper bearing is generally used in high pressure axial piston pumps to support the load generated from two surfaces which are sliding relatively at low speed. The object of the bearing is to remove the possibility of direct contact by maintenance of an adequate oil film thickness between two metal surfaces. Because the bearing performance is influenced by the bearing deformation, it is highly dependent on the injection pressure, the bearing surface profile and so on. In this study, the deformation characteristics of a hydrostatic slipper bearing is investigated according to the injection pressure by the finite element analysis. In the analysis, the special boundary condition to take the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) into account is used on the interactive surface. The results, such as bearing deformation, stress and lifting force, obtained from the fully coupled analysis are compared with those from the single step sequential method.

This paper deals with pressure ripple and noise reduction characteristics for a hydrostatic transmission(HST) consisting of a variable axial piston pump connected in an open loop to a fixed displacement axial piston motor. Pressure ripples in HST is major source of vibration, which can lead to fatigue failure of components and cause noise. In order to reduce the pressure ripple, an annular tube type hydraulic filter proposes to absorb pressure ripples with the high frequencies components to achieve better noise attenuation in HST. The basic principle tube is applied to propagation of pressure wave, reflection, absorption in cross section of discontinuity and resonance in the hydraulic pipeline. It is experimently confirmed that a hydraulic filter is absorbed to be about 30∼40dB of pressure ripple with high frequencies. These results will assist in modeling and design of noise reduction in hydraulic control systems, and here, should provide a means of designing a quieter HST.

Effects of high hydrostatic pressure on microorganisms, pectin enzymes and texture of dongchimi (pickled radish roots) were investigated. Dongchimi was pressurized at $200{\sim}686\;MPa$ for 5 min when its pH reached to 4.0. Total aerobes, initial concentration of $4.05{\times}10^8\;CFU/mL$, were completely inactivated by high hydrostatic pressure at 600 MPa. Lactic acid bacteria, yeasts and molds, initial concentration of $3.25{\times}10^8\;CFU/mL\;and\;3.55{\times}10^4\;CFU/mL$, respectively, were completely inactivated by high hydrostatic pressure at 400 MPa. Leuconostoc mesenteroides appeared to be the most barotolerant lactic acid bacteria because it was the sole bacteria survived at 380 MPa. Pectinesterase (PE) and polygalacturonase (PG) activities increased after high hydrostatic pressure treatment. Residual PE activity was 193 after pressurization at 500 MPa, and residual PG activity was 191 after pressurization at 686 MPa when the initial enzyme activity of control was set to 100. The hardness of pressurized dongchimi was higher than control.

The collapsible phenomena of the circular tubes due to the excessive transmural pressure are investigated experimentally. Collapsible tubes are installed in the test section where the external pressure is applied to the test tubes by applying the hydrostatic head. The collapsible circular tubes are made of rubber, whose diameters are 6 and 4.2 mm, respectively. The hydrostatic water head of the upper reservoir is applied to the test section. Pressures at the upstream and downstream sides are measured by the pressure transducers. The collapsible phenomena are observed as the transmural pressure Increases, and also the flutter phenomenon occurs due to the critical transmural pressure.

Composite material is one of the strongest candidates for deep see pressure hulls. Research regarding composite cylinders, subjected to hydrostatic pressure, has been ongoing for a couple of decades, abroad, but domestic research is very new. Experimental investigations seem necessary, in order to understand their structural behavior not only up to the ultimate limit state, but in the post-ultimate regime. That experimental information will be very helpful in the development of any theoretical methods or to substantiate any commercial numerical packages for structural analyses. In this study, ultimate strength tests on seven composite cylinders subjected to hydrostatic pressure are reported, which includes the fabrication method of models, mechanical properties of the material, initial shape imperfection measurements, test procedure, and strain and axial shortening measurements during the tests. The ultimate strengths of the models were compared with predictions of numerical analyses. The numerical predictions are higher than the test results. It seems necessary to improve the accuracy of the numerical predictions by considering the initial shape and material imperfections.
