Fatigue design rules for welds in the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessels Code are based on the use of Fatigue Strength Reduction Factors(FSRF) against a code specified fatigue design curve generated from smooth base metal specimens without the presence of welds. Similarly, stress intensification factors that are used in the ASME B3l.1 Piping Code are based on component S-N curves with a reference fatigue strength based on straight pipe girth welds. But the determination of either the FSRF or stress intensification factor requires extensive fatigue testing to take into account the stress concentration effects associated with various types of component geometry, weld configuration and loading conditions. As the fatigue behavior of welded joints is being better understood, it has been generally accepted that the difference in fatigue lives from one type of weld to another is dominated by the difference in stress concentration. However, general finite element procedures are currently not available for effective determination of such stress concentration effects. In this paper, a mesh-insensitive structural stress method is used to re-evaluate the S-N test data, and then more effective method is proposed for pressure vessel and piping fatigue design.

Background: Visceral pleural invasion (VPI) is a poor prognostic factor that contributes to the upstaging of early lung cancers. However, the preoperative assessment of VPI presents challenges. This study was conducted to examine intraoperative pleural carcinoembryonic antigen (pCEA) level and maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) as predictive markers of VPI in patients with clinical T1N0M0 lung adenocarcinoma. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of the medical records of 613 patients who underwent intraoperative pCEA sampling and lung resection for non-small cell lung cancer. Of these, 390 individuals with clinical stage I adenocarcinoma and tumors ≤30 mm were included. Based on computed tomography findings, these patients were divided into pleural contact (n=186) and non-pleural contact (n=204) groups. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was constructed to analyze the association between pCEA and SUVmax in relation to VPI. Additionally, logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate risk factors for VPI in each group. Results: ROC curve analysis revealed that pCEA level greater than 2.565 ng/mL (area under the curve [AUC]=0.751) and SUVmax above 4.25 (AUC=0.801) were highly predictive of VPI in patients exhibiting pleural contact. Based on multivariable analysis, pCEA (odds ratio [OR], 3.00; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.14-7.87; p=0.026) and SUVmax (OR, 5.25; 95% CI, 1.90-14.50; p=0.001) were significant risk factors for VPI in the pleural contact group. Conclusion: In patients with clinical stage I lung adenocarcinoma exhibiting pleural contact, pCEA and SUVmax are potential predictive indicators of VPI. These markers may be helpful in planning for lung cancer surgery.

TiO2 thin films with the substitution of oxygen with nitrogen were deposited on silicon substrate by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) using Ti(OCH(CH3)2)4 (titanium tetraisopropoxide, TTIP) and N2O as source materials. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results indicated that the crystal structure of the deposited thin films was anatase TiO2 with only (101) plane observed at the deposition temperatures of 36$0^{\circ}C$ and 38$0^{\circ}C$, and with (101) and (200) plane at above 40$0^{\circ}C$. Raman spectroscopic results indicated that the crystal structure was anatase TiO2 in accordance with the XRD results without any rutile, fcc TiN, or hcp TiN structure. No fundamental difference was observed with temperature increase, but the peak intensity at 194.5 cm-1 increased with strong intensity at 143.0 cm-1 for all samples. The crystalline size of the films varied from 49.2 nm to 63.9 nm with increasing temperature as determined by slow-scan XRD experiments. The refractive index of the films increased from 2.40 to 2.55 as temperature increased. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) study showed only Ti 2s, Ti 2p, C 1s, O 1s and O 2s peaks at the surface of the film. The composition of the surface was estimated to be TiO1.98 from the quatitative analysis. In the bulk of the film Ti 2s, Ti 2p, O 1s, O 2s, N 1s and N 2s were detected, and Ti-N bonding was observed due to the substitution of oxygen with nitrogen. A satellite structure was observed in the Ti 2p due to the Ti-N bonding, and the composition of titanium nitride was determined to be about TiN1.0 from the position of the binding energy of Ti-N 2p3/2 and the quatitative analysis. The spectrum of Ti 2p energy level could be the sum of a 4, 5, or 6 Gaussian curve reconstruction, and the case of the sum of the 6 Gaussian curve reconstruction was physically most meaningful. From the results of Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), it was known that the composition was not varied significantly throughout the whole thickness of the film, and silicon oxide was not observed at the interface between the film and the substrate. The composition of the film was possible (TiO2)1-x.(TiN)x or TiO2-2xNx and in this experimental condition x was found to be about 0.21-0.16.

Let M be a complete spacelike hypersurface in the (n + 1)-dimensional Minkowski space ${\mathbb{L}}^{n+1}$. Suppose that every unit speed curve X(s) on M satisfies ${\langle}X^{\prime\prime}(s),X^{\prime\prime}s){\rangle}{\geq}-1/r^2$ and there exists a point $p{\in}M$ such that for every unit speed geodesic X(s) of M through the point p, ${\langle}X^{\prime\prime}(s),X^{\prime\prime}s){\rangle}=-1/r^2$ holds. Then, we show that up to isometries of ${\mathbb{L}}^{n+1}$, M is the hyperbolic space $H^n(r)$.

In this study, a load duration curve was applied to the Jangseongcheon, one of the tributaries of the Yeongsan River, to assess whether the target water quality was achieved. In addition, pollution of the water body was investigated to develop and suggest the optimal management time with respect to polluted flow sections and monthly conditions. The average flow rates of sections JS1 and JS2 were $0.25m^3/s$ and $1.08m^3/s$, respectively. The BOD and T-P for water-quality standards at JS1 were rated at II, whereas the COD and TOC were rated at III, thus indicating a fair level of water quality. By contrast, the BOD at JS2 was rated at III, the T-P at IV, and the TOC at V, indicating poor water quality in this section. The load duration curve was plotted using the actual flow data measured in eight-day intervals for eight years from 2011 to 2018 at locations JS1 and JS2 in the Jangsungcheon Basin. In an assessment using the load duration curve on whether the target water quality was met at location JS1, all of the water quality parameters (BOD, COD, TOC, T-N, T-P, and SS) satisfied the target water quality. By contrast, at location JS2, parameters COD, TOC, T-N, and T-P exceeded target values by more than 50%, indicating the target water quality was not met. The discharge loads of locations JS1 and JS2 were analyzed to identify the reasons the target water quality was exceeded. Results revealed that the land system contributed considerably. Furthermore, the discharge load of JS2 accounted for more than 80% of the load on the entire basin, excluding that of JS1. Therefore, the best method for restraining the inflow of pollutants into the stream near location JS2 must be applied to manage the water quality of the Jangsungcheon.

Previous studies has shown that the curve of low-cycle fatigue life was not expressed with the single line subjected to Manson-Coffin's law type and bent to short life in low ${\Delta}{\varepsilon}_p$ region. The main cause of this phenomenon has been considered that the localization of plastic strain in the crack initiation process fosters the crack initiation. In this study, the low-cycle fatigue life was investigated for each specimens omitted crack initiation process and it was found that fatigue life curve in log(${\Delta}{\varepsilon}_p$)-log($N_f$)was bent in low ${\Delta}{\varepsilon}_p$ region as ever. Therefore, the main cause of appearance of knee point in fatigue life curve is not found in the crack initiation process but in the crack propagation process. In the crack propagation process, the localization of the plastic strain in the vicinity of crack tip and the influence of test environment on the crack propagation rate were observed and these inclinations were more remarkable in low ${\Delta}{\varepsilon}_p$ region. Hence, it was concluded that these two phenomena in the crack propagation process were proved to the main cause which accelerates the crack propagation in low ${\Delta}{\varepsilon}_p$ region and bent the fatigue life curve in result.

Water parsley(Oenanthe javanica(Blume) DC) was raised with varying population density(S) in the laboratory aquarium unit to determine the growth equation. The population density was measure after 7 days. The resultant growth curve was well fit to the equation 1/S = A+B (1/S0) with a high correlation coefficient ($R^2$ = 0.999). The maximum specific absorption rate was $9.011 \times 10^{-5}$ kg $NO_x-N/kg$ water parsley$\cdot$day and $1.31 \times 10^{-5}$ kg $PO_4-P/kg$ water parsley$\cdot$day when the average population density was $2.62 kg/m^2$. The relationship between population density and nutrient absorption rate, the absorption rate of $NO_x-N$ was 5.04~5.24 mg/l$\cdot$day when the population density was $7.51~10.0 $mg/m^2\cdot day$ and the absorption rate of $PO_4-P$ was 0.56~0.78 mg/l$\cdot$day when the population density was 5.02~10.0 $kg/m^2\cdot day$. Taking into account the nutrient absorption rate and growth rate, the population density between $7.0 kg/m^2\cdot day$ and $8.0 kg/m^2 \cdot day$ was selected. The removal rate of nutrient was investigated after 7 days culture. Removal rate of $NO_x-N$ was 95.6~99.95% with initial concentration of 35 mg $NO_x-N/l$, and the removal rate of $PO_4-P$ was also high, indicating 80.24~98.9% with initial concentration of 5.95 mg $PO_x-P/l$.

The purpose of this study is to improve the examining and understanding of the bonding behavior of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) sheets bonded to concrete blocks and steel plates under fatigue loading. First, a series of experimental investigations is summarized in the paper. The fatigue behavior of bonding surface between FRP sheets and concrete is finally characterized by the conducted P-S-N diagram representing the relationship among the probability of FRP debonding (P), the bond stress amplitudes (S), and the number of cycles (N) at debonding on a semi-logarithmic scale. The different debonding modes for various fracturing surface are also investigated and evaluated.

소재시험편(素材試驗片)과 맞대기 용접시험편(鎔接試驗片)을 대상(對象)으로 피로시험(疲勞試驗)을 행(行)하여 작용최대응력(作用最大應力)-피로수명(疲勞壽命)(S-N)선도(線圖), 소성변형율(塑性變形率)-하중반복회수(荷重反復回數)(${\varepsilon}_p$-N)선도(線圖), 초기균열발생시(初期龜裂發生時)의 소성변형율(塑性變形率)-피로수명(疲勞壽命)(${\varepsilon}_p-N_c$)선도(線圖) 및 균열성장율(龜裂成長率)-응력확대계수변동범위(應力擴大係數變動範圍)(da/dN-${\Delta}K$)선도(線圖)를 그려서 강구조물(鋼構造物) 용접부(鎔接部)에서의 여러가지 피로거동(疲勞擧動)을 검토(檢討)하였다. 본(本) 연구(硏究)에서 얻어진 결과(結果)를 요약(要約)하면 다음과 같다. 하중반복회수(荷重反復回數) $2{\times}10^6$ cycle에서의 피로강도(疲勞强度)는 용접부(鎔接部)가 소재부(素材部)의 약(約) 60%였으며 강복응력(降伏應力)에 대한 피로강도(疲勞强度)의 비(比)는 소재부(素材部)와 용접부(鎔接部)가 각각(各各) 0.72, 0.65로 나타났다. 용접시험편(鎔接試驗片)의 S-N 선도(線圖)는 피로강도(疲勞强度)의 감소(減少)가 완만(緩慢)한 구간(區間)과 피로강도(疲勞强度)의 감소(減少)가 큰 구간(區間)으로 분류(分類)되어 작용최대응력(作用最大應力)이 작을 수록 피로강도(疲勞强度)의 감소(減少)가 커지는 현상(現象)을 보였다. 두 구간(區間)으로 구분(區分)되지 않은 S-N 선도(線圖)에 의한 피로강도(疲勞强度)에 비(比)해 $2{\times}10^6$ cycle에서의 피로강도(疲勞强度)가 약(約) 83%에 해당(該當)하였다. 이는 낮은 응력(應力)에서 용접부(鎔接部) 내부결함(內部缺陷)의 영향(影響)이 크게 작용(作用)하는 때문이 아닌가 생각된다. 용접시험편(鎔接試驗片)의 경우(境遇) 소재시험편(素材試驗片)에 비(比)해, 또 작용최대응력(作用最大應力)이 클수록 초기균열발생(初期龜裂發生)이 빠르고 균열발생직전(龜裂發生直前)의 소성변형율(塑性變形率)의 증가(增加)가 급격(急激)한 것을 알 수 있었다. 소재시험편(素材試驗片)에서 ${\varepsilon}_p-N_c$ 관계식(關係式)의 상수(常數) ${\alpha}$값이 0.42 로 Manson, Coffin의 연구결과(硏究結果)와 거의 일치(一致)하였고 용접시험편(鎔接試驗片)에서는 이 값이 0.28 로 이들의 연구결과(硏究結果)와 큰 차이(差異)를 나타내었는데, 이는 피로(疲勞)에 의한 용접부(鎔接部) 소성변형(塑性變形)의 급격(急激)한 변화(變化)와 내부결함(內部缺陷)의 영향(影響)이 작용(作用)했기 때문이 아닌가 생각된다. 이와 같은 결과(結果)로 볼 때 기존(旣存)의 강구조물(鋼構造物) 및 향후(向後) 신설(新設)될 강구조물(鋼構造物) 용접부(鎔接部)의 품질(品質) 및 피로(疲勞)에 대한 안전성(安全性)에 적절(適切)한 대책(對策)이 요망(要望)되며, 이 분야(分野)에 관한 더 많은 연구(硏究)가 행(行)해져야 되리라고 사료(思料)된다.
