The cause of corrosion failure found in structures or various components operating in severe corrosive environments has been attributed to stress corrosion cracking(SCC)which is resulting from the combined effects of corrosive environments and static tensile stress. Slow strain rate test (SSRT) provides a rapid reliable method to determine SCC susceptibility of metals and alloys for a broad range of application. The chief advantage of SSRT procedures is that it is much more aggressive in producing SCC than conventional constant strain or constant load tests, so that the testing time is considerably reduced. Therefore, in this paper, the combined effects of material properties and strain rate on the tensile ductility and fracture morphology of parents and weldment for SM45C, SCM440 and SM20C steels were examined and discussed in synthetic sea water. The susceptibility of SCC was the most severe under the strain rate of $1.0{\times}10^{-6} sec^{-1}$, and R.O.A. can be used for parent and maximum load for weldment to evaluate the parameter for SCC susceptibility.

This paper focuses on the formulation and validation of an automatic strategy for the selection of the locations and directions of strain gauges to capture at best the modal response of a blade in a series of modes. These locations and directions are selected to render the strain measurements as robust as possible with respect to random mispositioning of the gauges and gauge failures. The approach relies on the evaluation of the signal-to-noise ratios of the gauge measurements from finite element strain data and includes the effects of gauge size. A genetic algorithm is used to find the strain gauge locations-directions that lead to the largest possible value of the smallest modal strain signal-to-noise ratio, in the absence of gauge failure, or of its expected value when gauge failure is possible. A fan blade is used to exemplify the applicability of the proposed methodology and to demonstrate the effects of the essential parameters of the problem, i.e. the mispositioning level, the probability of gauge failure, and the number of gauges.

The inelastic behavior of a reinforced concrete columns is influenced by a number of factors : 1) level of axial load, 2) tie spacing, 3) volumetric ratio of lateral steel, 4) concrete strength, 5) distribution of longitudinal steel, 6) strength of lateral steel, 7) cover thickness, 8) configuration of lateral steel, 9) strain gradient, 10) strain rate, 11) the effectively confined concrete core area, and 12) amount of longitudinal steel. A new constitutive model of a confined concrete is suggested in order to investigate the nonlinear behavior of the reinforced concrete columns under concentric loading. The developed constitutive model for the confined concrete takes into account the effects of effectively confined area as well as the horizontal and longitudinal distributions of the confining pressures. None of the existing models incorporated these two main effects at the same time. A total of different six constitutive models for the behavior of the confined concrete under concentric compression were compared with the sixty-one test results reported by different researchers. The superiority of the developed model in its accuracy is demonstrated by evaluating the error function, which compares the weighted averages for the sum of squared relative differences in peak compressive strength and corresponding strain, stress at strain equal to 0.015, and total area under stress-strain curve up to strain equal to 0.015.

This paper investigates the size dependent effect on the vibration analysis of a porous nanocomposite viscoelastic plate reinforced by functionally graded-single walled carbon nanotubes (FG-SWCNTs) by considering nonlocal strain gradient theory. Therefore, using energy method and Hamilton's principle, the equations of motion are derived. In this article, the effects of nonlocal parameter, aspect ratio, strain gradient parameter, volume fraction of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), damping coefficient, porosity coefficient, and temperature change on the natural frequency are perused. The innovation of this paper is to compare the effectiveness of each mentioned parameters individually on the free vibrations of this plate and to represent the appropriate value for each parameter to achieve an ideal nanocomposite plate that minimizes vibration. The results are verified with those referenced in the paper. The results illustrate that the effect of damping coefficient on the increase of natural frequency is significantly higher than the other parameters effect, and the effects of the strain gradient parameter and nonlocal parameter on the natural frequency increase are less than damping coefficient effect, respectively. Furthermore, the results indicate that the natural frequency decreases with a rise in the nonlocal parameter, aspect ratio and temperature change. Also, the natural frequency increases with a rise in the strain gradient parameter and CNTs volume fraction. This study can be used for optimizing the industrial and medical designs, such as automotive industry, aerospace engineering and water purification system, by considering ideal properties for the nanocomposite plate.

암석의 인장강도에 미치는 변형률 속도 및 수분포화의 영향을 파악하기 위하여 건조상태 및 포화상태 3종류의 암석에 대해서 여러 가지 변형률 속도에서의 홉킨슨효과를 이용한 인장파괴실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과 건조상태뿐만 아니라 포화상태에서도 변형률 속도가 증가할수록 암석의 인장강도는 증가하였다. 특히, 건조 상태에 있어서 암석의 동적인장강도는 암석의 종류와는 상관없이 변형률 속도의 약 1/3승에 비례하는 경향을 나타내었다. 또한, 수분포화의 영향으로 공극률이 높은 사암과 응회암은 건조상태와 비교하여 인장강도가 감소하였으나, 공극률이 0.49%로 낮은 화강암은 건조상태와 포화상태와의 사이에 유의한 차이는 없었다.

This study evaluated the effects of milk fermented with Pediococcus acidilactici strain BE and Pediococcus pentosaceus strain M103 on diabetes in rats (Rattus norvegicus). The bacteria were separately used as starter cultures for milk fermentation, and the products were then fed to diabetic rats for 15 days. Blood glucose levels, immunohistochemical and histological indicators, lipid profiles, and total lactic acid bacterium counts were evaluated before and after treatment. The administration of milk fermented with P. acidilactici strain BE reduced blood glucose levels from 410.27±51.60 to 304.07±9.88 mg/dL (p<0.05), similar to the effects of metformin (from 382.30±13.39 mg/dL to 253.33±40.66 mg/dL, p<0.05). Increased insulin production was observed in diabetic rats fed milk fermented with P. acidilactici strain BE concomitant with an increased number and percentage area of immunoreactive beta-cells. The structure of insulin-producing beta-cells was improved in diabetic rats fed milk fermented with P. acidilactici strain BE or metformin (insulin receptor substrate scores of 5.33±0.94 and 3.5±0.5, respectively). This suggests that the administration of milk fermented with P. acidilactici BE potentially reduces blood glucose levels and improves pancreatic beta-cell function in diabetic rats.

In this paper, smooth and notched bar tensile tests of austenitic stainless steel 304 are performed, covering four different multi-axial stress states and six different strain rate conditions, to investigate the effect of the stress triaxiality and strain rate on fracture strain. Test data show that the measured true fracture strain tends to decrease with increasing stress triaxiality and strain rate. The test data are then quantified using the Johnson-Cook (J-C) fracture strain model incorporating combined effects of the stress triaxiality and strain rate. The determined J-C model can predict true fracture strain overall conservatively with the difference less than 20%. The conservatism in the strain-based acceptance criteria in ASME B&PV Code, Section III, Appendix FF is also discussed.

본 실험은 육계 품종(Ross vs. Cobb) 및 사육 밀도(표준 밀도구, $0.046m^2$/수 vs. 고밀도구, $0.023m^2$/수)가 생산성, 장기무게, 혈액 corticosterone, 친염증 사이토카인과 항산화 효소의 mRNA 발현에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 실시하였다. 전체 사육 기간 동안 품종에 따른 생산성 지표들은 차이가 없었으나, 사육 밀도에 따른 사양 성적은 두 품종 모두 고밀도 사육구(HD)에서 표준 밀도구(SD)에 비해 체중과 사료 섭취량이 유의적으로 감소하였다(P<0.05). 간과 비장의 상대적 무게는 품종에 따른 유의적 차이가 나타났으나(P<0.05), 사육 밀도에 따른 차이는 없었다. 혈액 corticosterone 농도는 품종 및 사육 밀도에 따른 통계적 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 육계 품종 및 사육 밀도에 따른 친염증 사이토카인과 항산화 효소의 mRNA 발현 양상으로 간 조직에서 이들 사이토카인(IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-6, IL-18 및 IFN-${\gamma}$) mRNA 발현은 품종과 사육 밀도에 따른 차이가 없었다. 한편, 항산화 유전자인 GPX mRNA 발현은 품종에 따라 현저한 반응의 차이를 보였으며(P<0.05), Ross 품종이 Cobb 품종보다 GPX mRNA 발현이 낮았다. 사육 밀도 요인에 따른 차이를 보면, SOD, GPX 및 CAT의 mRNA 발현이 모두 고밀도 사육구에서 현저히 증가되는 것으로 나타났다(P<0.05). 비장조직에서 대부분의 친염증 사이토카인은 품종 및 사육 밀도에 따른 차이가 없었으나, IL-18 mRNA 발현은 고밀도 사육 시 Cobb 종에서 발현이 감소되었다(P<0.05). 항산화 효소 mRNA 발현은 품종 및 사육 밀도 요인에 따라 SOD와 CAT에서 유의적 차이가 있었다(P<0.05). 이와 같은 결과로 보아 사양 성적은 육계 품종에 따른 요인에 영향을 받지 않았지만, 사육 밀도는 생산성을 감소시켰다. 친염증 사이토카인의 mRNA 발현은 품종 및 사육 밀도에 따른 차이는 적었으나, 항산화 효소는 품종, 사육 밀도 및 장기조직에 따른 발현의 차이가 나타나 체내 항상성 조절에 중요한 지표로서 지속적인 연구가 요구된다.

As shear localization is observed in different deformation modes, an attempt is made to understand the conditions for shear localization in general deformation modes. Most emphasis in put upon the effects of pre-localization deformation mode on the onset of shear localization and all the other well-recognized effects of subtle constitutive features and imperfection sensitivity studied elsewhere are not investigated here. Rather, an approximate perturbation stability analysis is performed for simplified isotropic rigid-plastic solids subjected to general mode of homogeneous deformation. Shear localization is possible in any deformation mode if the material has strain softening. The incipient rate of shear localization and shear plane orientations are strongly dependent upon the pre-localization deformation mode. Significant strain softening is necessary for shear localization in homogeneous axisymmetric deformation modes while infinitesimal strain softening is necessary for shear localization in plane strain deformation mode. In any deformation mode, there are more than one shear plane orientation. Except for homogeneous axisymmetric deformation modes, there are two possible shear plane orientations with respect to the principal directions of stretching. Some well-known examples are discussed in the light of the current analysis.

It is well known that the properties of the soil deposits, especially the damping, depend on both frequency and strain amplitude. Therefore it is important to consider both dependencies to calculate the soil response against earthquakes in order to estimate input motions to buildings. However, it has been difficult to calculate the seismic response of the soil considering both dependencies directly. The author has studied the time domain evaluation of the frequency dependent dynamic stiffness, and proposed a simple hysteretic damping model that satisfies the causality condition. In this paper, this model was applied to nonlinear analyses considering the effects of the strain amplitude dependency of the soil. The basic characteristics of the proposed method were studied using a two layered soil model. The response behavior was compared with the conventional model e.g. the Ramberg-Osgood model and the SHAKE model. The characteristics of the proposed model were studied with regard to the effects of element divisions and the frequency dependency that is a key feature of the model. The efficiency of the model was confirmed by these studies.
