In power generation systems a variety of structural components typically operate at high temperature and pressure. Therefore a life assessment methodology accounting for gradual creep fracture is increasingly needed for these components. The most critical defects in such structure are generally found in the form of semi-elliptical surface cracks in the welded tubular joints. Therefore the analysis of a semi-elliptical surface crack in a plate or a shell is an important problem in engineering fracture mechanics. On this background, via shell/line-spring finite element analyses of such surface cracks in the welded T and L joints under various loadings, we investigate J-integral along the crack front We first develop T and L joints auto mesh generation program providing ABAQUS input file composed of shell/line-spring finite elements. We then further develop a T and L joints life assessment program based on the experimental creep crack growth law and auto mesh generation program in a graphical user interface format Finally the remaining life of T and L joints for various analytical parameters are assessed using the developed life assessment program.

A series of tests on simple-welded plate specimens (SWPS) and T-stub tension specimens simulating some of the joint details in moment frame connections were conducted in this investigation. The effects of weld strength mismatch and weld metal toughness on structural behavior of these specimens were considered under both static and dynamic loading conditions. Finite element analyses were performed by taking into account typical weld residual stress distributions and weld metal strength mismatch conditions to facilitate the interpretation of the test results. The major findings are as follows: (a) Sufficient specimen size requirements are essential in simulating both load transfer and constraint conditions that are relevant to moment frame connections, (b) Weld residual stresses can significantly elevate stress triaxiality in addition to structural constraint effects, both of which can significantly reduce the plastic deformation capacity in moment frame connections, (c) Based on the test results, dynamic loading within a loading rate of 0.02 in/in/sec, as used in this study, premature brittle fractures were not seen, although a significant elevation of the yield strength can be clearly observed. However, brittle fracture features can be clearly identified in T-stub specimens in which severe constraint effects (stress triaxiality) are considered as the primary cause, (d) Based on both the test and FEA results, T-stub specimens provide a reasonable representation of the joint conditions in moment frame connections in simulating both complex load transfer mode and constraint conditions.

Let H be a separable complex H be a space and let (equation omitted)(H) be the *-algebra of all bounded linear operators on H. An operator T in (equation omitted)(H) is said to be p-hyponormal if ($T^{\ast}T)^p - (TT^{\ast})^{p}\geq$ 0 for 0 ＜ p ＜ 1. If p = 1, T is hyponormal and if p = $\frac{1}{2}$, T is semi-hyponormal. In this paper, by using a technique introduced by S. K. Berberian, we show that the approximate point spectrum $\sigma_{\alpha p}(T) of a pure p-hyponormal operator T is empty, and obtains the compact perturbation of T.

The joint characteristics are necessary to be determined in the early stage of the vehicle body design. Researches on identification of joints in a vehicle body have been performed until the recent year. In this study, the joint characteristics of vehicle struct- ure were expressed as condensed forms from the full joint stiffness and mass matrix. The condensed joint stiffness and mass matrix were applied to typical T-type and Edge-type joints, and the usefulness was confirmed. In addition, those were applied to center pillar and full vehicle body to validate the practical application.

슬관절 퇴행성 질환을 진단하기 위하여 자기공명영상(magnetic resonance imaging: MRI)이 많이 사용되지만 간혹 슬관절 병후 및 예후를 잘못 진단하는 경우가 종종 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 슬관절 질환의 진단에 도움을 주기 위하여 자화전이(magnetization transfer: MT) 영상법을 소개하고자 한다. 슬관절 환자 7명으로부터 스핀 에코(SE) T2 강조 영상(3,400-3,500/90-100 ms)과 슬관절 환자 7명으로부터 FSE T2 강조 영상(4,500-5,000/100-108 ms)과 또한 슬관절 환자 3명으로부터 gradient echo (GRE) T2 강조 영상들(9/4.56 ms, 50 flip angle, NEX 1)을 획득하였다. 6명의 슬관절 환자에서 지방 억제가능 T2 강조 STIR 펄스시퀀스(TR/TE=2894-3215 ms/70 ms, NEX 3, ETL 9)를 사용하였다. 지방 포화도에 있어서 위상감도 방법은 Larmor frequency 차이에 따른 위상 차이를 이용하므로, 각각의 픽셀에 대한 자화전이율(magnetization transfer ratio: MTR)의 측정은 포화된 영상과 포화되지 않은 영상의 비율에 따라 산출하였다. 따라서 각 입력된 영상들은 동차원성을 가지고, 시각적으로 신호강도 정도가 회색의 명암도만으로 평가될 수 있기 때문에 생리학적, 정량적 진단을 위하여 3차원 등방성 체적영상과 자기공명 삼원색을 매핑하였고 정량적 특정은 자화전이율 지도로서 표현하였다. 자화전이율 영상은 병변 부위에서 높은 대조도를 나타내어 환자의 병태를 추적하는데 도움을 주었고 정량화하였다. 자화전이율 영상들과 기존의 MRI 사이에 명암도 차이는 회색상으로 표현되며, 자화전이율 영상화의 효과에 대해 프로파일 그래프는 자화전이 펄스로 인하여 신호강도에 있어서 정량적 측정값이 상대적으로 감소하였다. 슬관절의 정확한 병리상태를 진단하기 위해 프로파일 그래프의 측정값을 영상과 함께 표현하였다. 본 연구에서 수행한 예비적 데이터들을 통하여 슬관절의 자화전이율 영상들이 매우 임상학적으로 유용함을 확인하였다. 자화전이율 영상에 대한 물리적 변화를 관찰함으로써 자화전이율 영상에 대한 물리적, 기술적 기반에 대한 더 많은 통찰력을 제공할 수 있다. 무릎 질환 환자의 자화전이율 영상들을 이용하여 매우 높은 대조도를 확보할 수 있으므로 슬관절 질환의 정밀 진단에 매우 도움을 줄 수 있다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Evjenth-Hamberg stretching on the active range of motion (ROM) of the hip joint and the pennation angle of the semitendinosus muscle. Eighty healthy adults participated in this study. The active ROM of the hip joint was measured by a goniometer and the pennation angle of the semitendinosus muscle was measured by ultrasonographic imaging (USI). Both ROM and pennation angle were recorded before and after the static stretching and the Evjenth-Hamberg stretching, respectively. Data were analyzed using paired t-lest and independent t-test at p<.05. The results were as follows: 1) The active ROM of the hip joint increased significantly after both stretching interventions compared with the baseline (p<.001). However, the active ROM of the hip joint increased significantly in Evjenth-Hamberg stretching compared with static stretching. 2) The pennation angle decreased significantly after both stretching interventions compared with the baseline (p<.001). However, the pennation angle decreased significantly in Evjenth-Hamberg stretching compared with static stretching. 3) Reliability data showed that there was a high consistency in USl measurements (ICC=.978). Our findings suggest that the Evjenth-Hamberg stretching was more effective than static stretching in increasing the active ROM of the hip joint and decreasing the pennation angle of the semitendinosus muscle.

In this paper we explain that normal theory likelihood-ratio tests(z, t, $x^2$. F) for mean(s) or variance(s) can be geometrically related to volume of difference of two joint pdf's. One is an estimated joint pdf under null parameter space $\omega$ and the other is an estimated joint pdf under full parameter space $\Omega$. For explanations, ‘distance between two distributions’ is defined. We study properties of it, and derive some results on the distance between two multivariate normal distributions.
