The aim of this study was to develop a trawl escapement device which can improve the survival rate of young fishes passed through trawl codend. The sea experiments according to the bar space of the device and bar materials were carried out to decide the bar space and device materials in Korean southern sea and off Cheju island. Stainless pipes and MC bars were used to test the efficiency of escapement device materials. Although escapement rates of MC bar for main species were a little higher compare with stainless pipe, the efficiency of device for stainless pipe was better than MC bar. Escapement devices of sort-K type and grid panel type were also compared. Escapement rates of redlip croaker(Pseudosciaena polyactis), blackthroat seaperch(Doederleinia berycoides) and finespotted flounder (Pleuronichthys cornutus) showed 61.7%, 2.0% and 2.7% on the sort-x type and 69.9%, 1.1% and 2.0% for the grid panel type but the difference was little. Fishes under 20mm head width and fishes which swimming speed is so slow compared with body length could not go through well the device. Escapement rates according to the bar space were estimated using grid panel type. The rates of redlip croaker(Pseudosciaena polyactis) for the bar space of 20mm, 25mm, 35mm were increased as 60.3%, 61.0% and 77.8%, and 9.8%, 16.4% and 45.6% for horse mackere1(Trachurus japonicus), respectively.

The correlation between sensor output and corrosion rate of reinforcing steel was evaluated by laboratory electrochemical tests in saturated $Ca(OH)_2$ with 3.5 wt.% NaCl and confirmed in concrete environment. In this paper, two types of electrochemical probes were developed: galvanic cells containing of steel/copper and steel/stainless steel couples. Potentiodynamic test, weight loss measurement, monitoring of open-circuit potential, linear polarization resistance (LPR) measurement and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to evaluate the corrosion behavior of steel bar embedded in concrete. Also, galvanic current measurements were conducted to obtain the charge of sensor embedded in concrete. In this study, steel/copper and steel/stainless steel sensors showed a good correlation in simulated concrete solution between sensor output and corrosion rate of steel bar. However, there was no linear relationship between steel/stainless steel sensor output and corrosion rate of steel bar in concrete environment due to the low galvanic current output. Thus, steel/copper sensor is a reliable corrosion monitoring sensor system which can detect corrosion rate of reinforcing steel in concrete structures.

The damage analysis method in this paper needs a material property and failure criteria. The material properties and the failure criteria could be easily obtained from the results of notched bar tensile tests carried out on other materials studied previously. However, for the cast stainless steel (CF8M) material in this paper, because of the variance in the results from notched bar tensile tests under the same conditions, the material property and the failure criteria could be obtained differently, depending on the analyzer. Therefore, a proper procedure that can confirm the material property and failure criteria are needed. In this work, the averaged material property was obtained from the notched bar with a 16-mm notch radius, and three failure criteria for CF8M material by finite element analysis were obtained. Applying the material property and the failure criteria, FE damage analysis for the J-R fracture toughness test was conducted. For validation, the simulated results were compared with the experimental results.

This paper deals with the electromagnetic loss characteristics of enclosures for a 24kV high voltage switchgear by using a finite element method (FEM). A study on the electromagnetic characteristics of enclosures for a high voltage switchgear should be conducted to minimize the size and the temperature rising of a switchgear. Generally, the enclosures made by stainless steel are used to minimize the eddy current loss caused by the transporting current in Bus bars due to its non-magnetic characteristics although the price of stainless steel is expensive compared with other metal for enclosures. Therefore, a switchgear made by stainless steel enclosures could be fabricated as a small size and are applied to a switchgear in urban substations. On the contrary, the switchgear enclosures made by steel could be fabricated with relatively cheap manufacturing price. However, the temperature easily rises due to the transporting current in Bus bars because steel is a ferromagnetic material. Therefore, the size of a switchgear made by steel enclosures is relatively massive and installed in rural substations. In this paper, the electromagnetic losses in the enclosures of a switchgear according to various enclosure thicknesses are calculated and compared with each other. Especially, we proposed a hybrid type enclosures for a switchgear made by stainless steel (top and bottom enclosure) and steel (left and right enclosure). It is concluded that the cost electromagnetic performance of applying the hybrid type enclosure is favorable to develop a high voltage switchgear.

This paper describes the development of a new piezoelectric unimorph cantilever structure intended to improve electrical output power, compared to a conventional cantilever. The proposed structure employs a cylindrical bar attached to one side of a steel plate, which is a significant factor in forced vibration mode. The feasibility of the proposed methodology was assessed experimentally and theoretically. The influence of three different types of bar material (i.e., stainless steel, silicon rubber, and urethane), and bar position, on the output voltage were examined and compared with those without the bar. The optimal position and material for the bar were identified through experimental and theoretical analyses. It appears that the electrical output power of the proposed cantilever is about 40% higher than that of a conventional unimorph cantilever.

In this paper, authors are trying to find optimum spot weldig conditions to minimize indentation of the plate surface which is crucial to quality of stainless rolling stocks. At first, to derive a simple equation to estimate the depth of indentation, a simplified one-dimensional bar model is proposed and validity of the model is confirmed by experiments. And also, to find proper welding conditions giving satisfied tensile strength of the welded joint, a simple formula is derived referring to the standard spot welding conditions by AWS. Optimization problem is formulated to find welding conditions such as welding current, time and applied force which give minimum indentation and proper tensile strength of joint, and solutions are found out. According to the results, the depth of indentation can be expressed by applied electrode froces and it can be shown that an optimum applied force exists.

Cropping metal materials is widely used for feeding processes of various forming method, such as forging, extrusion, drawing, and upsetting. However, cropping has many weak points, which are material loss in part of cutting, chip creation, and much use of lubrication oil, etc. In this study, instead of cropping, a novel process is proposed to cut metal materials, especially stainless steel bar which is known very difficult to crop. Results of FE-analysis will be shown to verify the proposed method comparing with those of the conventional cropping process. Also, fitting products were successfully forged using the fabricated billet by the proposed process.

This paper presents small hydrogen regulator for the mobile fuel cell. Mobile fuel cell is generally classified into open-end type and dead-end type. In the open-end type, flow rate of hydrogen is constantly controlled, while pressure of hydrogen is constantly maintained in the dead-end type. Considering the efficiency and stability of the fuel usage, dead-end type is more suitable with mobile fuel cell. Mobile fuel cell operated by dead-end mode requires hydrogen regulator which controls the hydrogen pressure from 0.1bar to 0.5bar within 3% error. In this paper, small hydrogen regulator (volume of 2.6cc) was fabricated by stainless steel. Regulation characteristics was experimentally evaluated.

Specimens of 304 stainless steel were tested to failure at elevated temperatures under multiaxial stress states, uniaxial tension using smooth bar specimens, biaxial shearing using double shear bar specimens, and triaxial tension using notched bar specimens. Rupture times are compared for uniaxial, biaxial, and triaxial stress states with respect to the maximum principal stress, the von Mises effective stress, and the principal facet stress. The results indicate that the principal facet stress gives the best correlation for the material investigated, and this parameter can predict creep life data under multiaxial stress states with rupture data obtained with specimens under uniaxial stresses. The results also suggest that grain boundary cavitation, coupled with localized deformation processes such as grain boudary sliding, controls the lifetimes of the specimens.
