The present work proposes new engineering models for determining corrosion initiation time in concrete reinforcing steels in marine environment. The models are based on Fick's second law that is commonly used for chloride diffusion. The latter is based on deterministic analyses involving the most influencing parameters such as distance of the concrete structure from the seaside, depth of steel concrete cover, ambient temperature, relative humidity and the water-cement ratio. However, a realistic corrosion initiation time cannot be estimated because of the uncertainties associated to the different parameters of the models. Therefore a reliability approach using FORM/SORM method has been applied to develop the proposed engineering models integrating a limit state function and a reliability index β. As a result, the corrosion initiation time is expressed by new exponential engineering models where the uncertainties are associated to the model parameters. The main emerging result is a realistic decision tool for corrosion planning inspection.

Wrinkling is one of the major defects in sheet metal products and may be also attributable to the wear of the tool. The initiation and growth of the wrinkles are influenced by many factors such as stress state, mechanical properites of the sheet material, geometry of the body, and contact condition. It is difficult to analyze the wrinkling initiation and growth considering the factors because the effects of the factors are very complex and the wrinkling behavior may show wide variation for small deviation of the factors. In this study, the bifurcation theory is introduced for the finite element analysis of wrinkling initiation and growth, All the above mentioned factors are conveniently considered by finite element method. The finite element formulation is based on the incremental deformation theory and elastic-plastic material modeling. The finite element analysis is carried out using the continuum-based resultant shell elements considering the planar anisotropy of the sheet metal. The proposed method is verified by employing to column buckling problem. And then, the initiation and growth of wrinkling in deep drawing of cylindrical cup are analyzed.

A criterion which predicts wrinkle initiation on workpiece in groove rolling process based on finite element analysis is proposed. Fundamental idea considered in the criterion is using the difference between flat rolling which don't cause wrinkling at all and groove rolling which usually accompanies it. The proposed criterion assumes that irregular distribution of shear strain on workpiece during groove rolling is attributable to the initiation of wrinkling. The proposed criterion has been applied to roughing train in the rod mill of SEAH BESTEEL Inc. A new design of 2nd pass (square roll groove) was suggested, machined and applied. Results reveal that the proposed criterion could point out the location of wrinkle initiation and could reduce onset of wrinkle.

We propose a criterion which predicts wrinkle initiation on workpiece in groove rolling process based on finite element analysis. Fundamental idea introduced in the criterion is to examine the difference between flat rolling which don't' cause wrinkling at all and groove rolling which usually accompanies it. The proposed criterion assumes that irregular distribution of shear strain on workpiece during groove rolling is attributable to the initiation of wrinkling. The proposed criterion has been applied to roughing train in the rod and bar mill of SEAH BESTEEL Inc. A new design for 2nd pass (square roll groove) was suggested, machined and applied. Results reveal that the proposed criterion in this study could point out the location of wrinkle initiation during groove rolling and could reduce onset of wrinkle on final products.

We experimentally investigated the effects of thermal aging and cold work on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC) initiation time for Alloy 182 welds. The effects of thermal aging and cold work on the PWSCC initiation time of Alloy 182 were modeled based on the plastic energy concept and the PWSCC initiation data of this study and previous reports by considering censored data. Based on the results, it is estimated that the PWSCC resistance of the Alloy 182 weld firstly increases and then decreases with thermal aging time when the applied stress is kept constant.

Purpose : This study was to investigate the application of Rhythmic Initiation(RI) in the respect of information processing in motor learning. Methods : A computer-aided literature search was performed in PubMed and adapted to the other databases and the others were in published books. The following keywords were used: Rhythmic Initiation, attention, memory, motor accuracy, feedback, motor learning, motor control, PNF, cognition. Results : The characterization of RI is rhythmic motion of limb or body through the desired range, starting with passive motion and progressing to active resisted movement. This study suggested that the relationship between of RI and motor learning through the respect of information processing, memory, attention and motor accuracy. Conclusion : Only Rhythmic Initiation, specifically focused on the effects of information processing approach, suggesting that RI can be positively influeced on sensory-perception, attention, memory, motor accuracy. however, it is unclear whether positive effects in the laboratory and field can be generalized to improve. In addition, sustainability of motor learning with RI remains uncertain.

Although MCM2 is obviously important for the initiation of eukaryotic DNA replication, its role in $O_2$ dependent regulation of replicon initiation is poorly understood. In this report, I analysed the changes of MCM2 during the transition from hypoxically suppressed replicon initiation to the burst of initiation triggered by reoxygenation in T24 cells. A high level of chromatin bound and nucleosolic MCM2 was found under the hypoxic replicon arrest. In contrast low cytosolic MCM2 was noticed. Recovery of $O_2$ induced phosphorylation and diminution of chromatin bound MCM2, whereas cytosolic MCM2 increased. The level of chromatin bound Cdc7 did not change significantly upon reoxygenation. However, after reoxygenation, significant phosphorylation of Cdc7 and an increase of coimmunoprecipitation with its substrate (MCM2) were observed. This provides a hint that reoxygenation may promote the kinase activity of Cdc7. These changes might be the critical factors in $O_2$ dependent regulation of replicon initiation. Moreover, phosphorylation of Cdc7 by Cdk2 can be observed in vitro, but seems to fail to regulate the level of chromatin bound Cdc7 as well as the changes of MCM2 in response to reoxygenation of hypoxically suppressed cells.

Material flaws in the from of pre-existing defects can severely affect the crack initiation. Stress distribution and crack initiation life of engineering materials such as monolithic aluminum alloy and Al/Glass fiber laminate may be different according to the defect location. The aim of this study is to evaluate effects of relative location of defects around the circular hole in monolithic aluminum and Al/Glass fiber laminates under cyclic bending moment. Stress distribution and crack initiation behavior near a circular hole are considered. Results of Finite Element (FE) model indicated the features of different stress field due to the relative defects positions. Especially, the defects positions at ${\theta}=0^{\circ}\;and\;{\theta}=30^{\circ}$ was strongly effective in stress concentration factor ($K_t$) and crack initiation behavior.

Fatigue crack initiation around a hole subjected to biaxial fatigue loads with a phase difference was investigated. Axial and torsional biaxial fatigue loads with different phase differences and biaxiality of 1/√3 were applied to thin-walled tubular specimens. Five phase differences of 0, 45, 90, 145 and 180 degrees were selected. Directions of the fatigue crack initiation around the hole were found to approach to the circumferential direction of the specimen with increment of the phase difference for fatigue tests with phase differences less than 90$^{\circ}$. Whereas directions for tests with phase differences greater than 90$^{\circ}$ got away from the circumferential direction and those were symmetric to the directions for tests with phase difference less than 90. . Furthermore, it was shown that the fatigue initiation life decreased with increment of phase difference for fatigue tests with phase differences less than 90$^{\circ}$, but it increased for tests with phase difference greater than 90$^{\circ}$. The crack initiation direction can be successfully explained by using the direction of the maximum tangential stress range obtained around the hole and at far-field.
