Flame propagation during the initial stages of ignition in a non-premixed swirl, having some of characteristics of the primary zone of an aero gas turbine combustor, has been investigated. Nd:YAG laser was adopted as the principal ignition source to allow arbitrary placing of the ignition site i subsequent flame development was monitored using a natural light high speed filming technique for many ignition site at two different swirl ratios and an overall equivalence ratio of 0.9. For ignition offset from the burner centreline, buoyancy force associated with radial pressure gradient produced a strong inward movement of the flame kernel. At the burner exit. flame kernels invariably developed into cylindrical form and a 'radial confinement /axia expansion' (RCAE) process was observed.

Recently, axle load, operating speed and traffic density on railroads have had a tendency to increase and thereby cause additional pressure applied on used track. These operating conditions frequently result in service failure due to wear caused by wheel-rail contact and fatigue damage under cyclic loading. Among rail defects, the transverse crack, which has been the most dangerous type of fatigue damages, is developed from the subsurface crack near the rail running face and grows perpendicular to the rail surface. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate systematically the growth behavior of transverse crack for rail steel under mixed mode. In this study, the fatigue crack growth behavior of the transverse crack in rail steel was experimentally investigated under mixed-mode variable amplitude loadings.

Fracture mechanics does work for concrete, provided that one uses a proper, nonlinear form of fracture mechanics in which a finite nonlinear zone at fracture front is being considered. The fracture process zone is a region ahead of a traction-free crack, and the development of model of fracture process zone is most important to describe fracture phenomena in concrete. This paper is about fracture behavior of concrete cylinder under lateral pressure. Concrete cylinders were made of high strength normal connote, steel fiber reinforced concrete and steel fiber reinforced polymer-impregnated concrete and concrete and the fracture behavior such as cracking propagation and ultimate load are observed. The fracture process zone is modelled by a Dugdale-Barenblatt type model with linear tension-softening curve and are implemented to the boundary element technique for the fracture analyses of the cylinders. The experimental results are compared with analysis results and tension-softening curves for the steel fiber reinforced concrete and steel fiber reinforced polymer-impregnated concrete are obtained by back analyses.

40-100m 수심에 평탄한 모래층으로 구성된 구성된 친해를 1/1,000모형으로 축소시킨 무향수조내에서 Pekeris 모델에 대한 normal mode 관측실험을 점수신기로 수행하였다. 무향수조에 사용된 쐐기형 흡음재가 50kHz이상에서 20-25dB의 반향음 감쇠율을 가지므로 해서 이 수조가 해양과 유사한 조건을 갖게 되었으며, 실험에 사용된 점수신기는 B&K의 8130 수중청음기에 음향중심으로부터 조그만 크기의 사각형 틈을 제외하고 pressure-release 물질을 씌움으로써 얻을 수 있었다. 이 실험을 통해 얻은 결과들을 종합해 보면 연속모드의 피적분함수가 cut-off로부터 멀어지면 불연속모드의 합으로만 된 이론식과는 대략 수심의 10배 이내에서 다소 차이를 보일 뿐 전 관측거리에서 실험결과와 비교적 잘 일치하고 있다. 그러나 연속모드의 공진이 cut-off에 가까워 질수록 가상모드가 음향에 미치는 역할이 증대되어 근거리에서는 불연속모드의 합으로만 된 이론식과 큰 차이가 날 뿐만 아니라 영향이 미치는 거리가 수심의 수십배까지 증가함을 볼 수 있다. 특히 불연속모드의 개수가 2개이고 cut-off로부터 아주 가까운 가상모드가 존재할 경우, 가상모드가 수심의 60배 가까운 거리까지 영향을 미치는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

This paper presents an algorithmic sensor value validation technique that can systematically explore the embedded sensor redundancies in complex physical systems and maximize their utilization in validating sensor values. The confidency criteria are developed for checking the consistency of sensor relationships called Causal Relations. Development results are applied to a tubular type supercritical pressure type thermal power plant with rated operational data to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed technique.

The autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is being widely researched in order to achieve superior performance when working in hazardous environments. This research focuses on using image processing techniques to estimate the AUV's egomotion and the changes in orientation, based on image frames from different time frames captured from a single high-definition web camera attached to the bottom of the AUV. A visual odometry application is integrated with other sensors. An internal measurement unit (IMU) sensor is used to determine a correct set of answers corresponding to a homography motion equation. A pressure sensor is used to resolve image scale ambiguity. Uncertainty estimation is computed to correct drift that occurs in the system by using a Jacobian method, singular value decomposition, and backward and forward error propagation.

Characteristics of steady and unsteady cavitation in a turbopump inducer were investigated in this paper. To see the effect of tip clearance on the inducer performance, three cases of tip clearance were tested. The helical inducer, which has two blades with inlet tip blade angle of 7.8 degree and tip solidity of 2.7, was tested in the water. In the non-cavitating condition, the inducer head decreased with increase in the tip clearance. Rotating cavitation and cavitation surge were observed through unsteady pressure measurements at the inducer inlet. The cell number and propagation speed of the rotating cavitation were determined through cross-correlation analysis. During the rotating cavitation one cell rotated at the same rotational speed as that of the inducer rotation and the cavitation surge did not rotate. The critical cavitation number increased with increase in the tip clearance at the same flow rate, but the change of critical cavitation number was small at the nominal flow rate.

In this paper, the effect of circumferential inlet distortion on performance and stall has been experimentally investigated in a high-speed centrifugal compressor, comparing distorted cases with undistorted one. The performance of compressor was slightly deteriorated by defect of inlet static pressure which is caused by the circumferential inlet distortion. As stall was fully developed the inlet distortion did not affect the number of stall cell and the propagation velocity. It also did not affect stall inception at 40,000 and 50,000 rpm. However stall occurred at the lower flow rate for distorted flow at 60,000 rpm. For 50,000 rpm a unexpected phenomenon occurred : stall occurred first and then it disappeared.

DNV-OS-F101 includes the concept development, design, construction, operation,and abandonment of offshore pipeline systems. The main objective of this offshore standard (OS) is to ensure that pipeline systems are safe during the installation and operational period. The pipeline design philosophy also includes public safety and environmental protection. The mechanical wall thickness design of a pipeline shall follow the design objectives and safety philosophy. This new design code includes a very sophisticated design procedure to ensure a safe pipeline, public safety, and environmental protection. This paper presents the results of a parametric study for the wall thickness design of offshore pipelines. A design matrix was developed to cover the many design factors of pipeline integrity, public safety, and environmental protection. Sensitivity analyses of the various parameters were carried out to identify the impacts on offshore pipeline design.
