This study was performed to develop repair technology for J-Groove dissimilar metal weld of pressurizer heater sleeve in nuclear power plants. Pad, J-Groove automatic welding and mechanical machining equipments to develop repair technology using 'Half Nozzle Repair' were designed and manufactured. To obtain the optimum welding process parameters during Pad temperbead overlay welding, several welding experiments using Taguchi method were conducted. Weldability of Pad overlay weld specimens was estimated by PT/RT test, FE-SEM, EDS and Vickers hardness test. Also, J-Groove welding to adjust weld shape conditions requiring in ASME Code was carried out and its integrity of weld specimens was evaluated through PT/RT test and optical microscope. Consequently, it was revealed that Pad and J-Groove overlay welding for dissimilar metal weld of pressurizer heater sleeve could be possible to meet Code standard without weld defect.

The size effect on fracture toughness was investigated by introducing $J-A_2$ theory. For this application,small size specimens were chosen to establish $J-A_2$ assessment curve with FEM analysis. Two-dimensional FEM analysis was conducted with plane strain model using ABAQUS by domain integral method to calculate both crack tip stress and fracture toughness which were used to establish $J-A_2$ curve. The assessment curve predicted the fracture toughness of large specimens very well when compared to the test values. The results showed good prediction for deep crack specimen, though there were acceptable deviations in shallow cracked specimens, presumably caused by constraint effect. When the curve applied to reactor vessel in order to predict end of life fracture toughness with assumption of on-power pressure test condition, it provided the reasonable pressure compared to the existing design value. Better predictions would be possible if more test data were available.

The influence of electric current on the springback characteristics of AZX311 magnesium alloy and martensitic steel after V-bending test is investigated. Various pulsed electric currents are applied into the specimens followed by a V-bending test, and the changes in the springback angle are measured. In order to evaluate not only the thermal effect but also the athermal effect of electric current on the springback angle, the temperature rises resulting from the applied electric current are measured for all test conditions. As a result, it was found that the springback is significantly decreased as the current density increases. As for the martensitic steel, since the dislocation recovery immoderately occurs at a high electric current density condition of $80A/mm^2$, the optimal current density condition should be required.

600V용 비닐절연전선의 절연체로 사용되는 PVC의 열적 열화 특성을 열중량분석과 가속열화시험을 이용하여 연구하였다. TGA를 이용한 활성화에너지는 Kissinger method와 Flynn-Wall-Ozawa method를 이용하여 측정하였다. 활성화에너지를 계산한 결과 600V용 PVC 절연전선은 89.29 kJ/mol～111.39 kJ/mol, 내열 PVC절연전선은 97.80 kJ/mol～119.25 kJ/mol로 나타났다. 또한, 저온인 80, 90, 10$0^{\circ}C$에서 장기가속열화를 통한 활성화에너지를 아레니우스 방정식을 이용하여 계산하였다. 그 결과 PVC 절연전선은 92.16 kJ/mol,내열 PVC절연전선은 97.52kJ/mol로 나타났다. 연구결과에 있어 600V내열 PVC절연 전선이 PVC 절연전선에 비해 활성화에너지가 큼을 알 수 있었으며, 사용 수명을 예측함에 있어서도 장기적으로 안정함을 예측할 수 있다.

The need for the lightweight of special vehicle trailer frame is substantially growing due to high gasoline prices and serious environmental issues. In this study, we develop a new lightweight sub-frame for large container trailers and evaluate its durability through a fatigue test. To this end, a reliable three-dimensional parametric finite element model of a sub-frame is constructed and then an optimized lightweight sub-frame is newly developed by using the Taguchi method. Next, we make a trial product of the optimized lightweight sub-frame and conduct a driving test to identify the driving load history at vulnerable areas. Finally, we evaluate the durability of the developed lightweight sub-frame through a fatigue test based on the load history.

In this paper conventional technique will be described, which can be used for the measuring various parameters of induction motor. This is followed by presenting some other, alternative, techniques. The two tests are described which are suitable to obtain the electrical parameters of symmetrical 1hp three-phase squirrel-cage induction motor. These are the blocked rotor test and no load test. By the application of these, it is possible to determine the parameters which are presented in the steady-state equivalent-circuit of determining an induction motor. One conventional method of determining the inertia of an induction motors is obtained by performing retardation tests. The angular rotor speed of the motor is monitored, following its disconnection from the stator supply. Since the inertia torque J dw/dt contains the inertia coefficient J and the friction and windage torque Bw contains the coefficient B, then J and B can be determined by performing retardation tests.

The failures such as leakage and burst stemmed from the repetitive motions of bending and stretching of the assembly of hydraulic hose in construction machines, agriculture machines, vehicles, and industrial heavy machines can induce big troubles. Therefore, the hydraulic hose itself eventually requires an estimation of life to operate the hydraulic system safely. In this research, we have qualitatively selected the efficient test items by the analysis of the life and potential failures of hydraulic hose. We have used more than seven of hydraulic hoses simultaneously for the research. We have applied impulse pressure and half omega flexing motions to the accelerated life testing Test results have been expressed by employing weibull plot.

For lihgtning and switching impulse voltage performances in laboratories, impulse voltage measuring system, which is consisted of voltage divider, recording instrument and connecting system between divider and recording instrument, is used. In order to show reliability of test result in test laboratory, tracebility of these measuring system to be using in test laboratory is needed. In this paper, we describe tracebility and uncertainty of impulse voltage measuring system in test laboratory.

This study was performed to evaluate the performances for a concurrent flow rice dryer of pilot scale with devices for circulating rice. The pilot scale dryer with the capacity of 700 kg was developed to obtain design informations for the development of actual scale dryer of holding capacity of 10 tons. Three drying tests were conducted at two temperature levels of $100^{\circ}C\;and\;120^{\circ}C$, and two air flow rates levels of $28.5cmm/m^2\;and\;57.1cmm/m^2$. Drying conditions for Test-1, Test-2 and Test-3 were $100^{\circ}C\;-28.5cmm/m^2,\;120^{\circ}C-28.5cmm/m^2\;and\;120^{\circ}-57.1cmm/m^2}$ respectively. Drying rates were 0.73%(w.b./h) for Test-1, 0.90%(w.b./h) for Test-2 and 1.46%(w.b./h) for Test-3. The crack ratios of brown rice after drying ranged from 2.4% to 8.4%, and increased with the increase of drying rate and airflow rate. The energy consumptions were from 6,225 kJ/kg to 6,993 kJ/kg which was higher than that of conventional cross-flow rice circulating type dryer used in Korea. This results were due to the lower ambient air temperatures of $4.5^{\circ}C\;to\;13.4^{\circ}C$ during drying tests.

In this paper, the effect of binder additive on the fracture toughness was metal matrix composite produced by squeeze casting method. In this study using the matrix is AC4CH and reinforcement used Aluminum borate whisker. Each MMC was produced by add inanimate binder ($SiO_2,\;Al2O_3,\;TiO_2$) to whiskers for increase the binding together of whiskers. Fracture toughness test were carry out in accordance with the ASTM E-399 standard test method, W=25mm, b=12.5mm CT(half size) specimen. However Base metal AC4CH was not meet the qualification of $P_m/P_Q<1.1$, so that test were performed $J_{IC}$ test. $K_{J_{IC}}$ value was measuring by $J_{IC}$ value change into $K_{IC}$. $J_{IC}$ test was carry out in accordance with the ASTM 1820.
