A laminated evaporator performance simulation software has been developed and the performance characteristics have been examined with variation of important design parameters, number of plate ( $P_{N}$), plate inner height ( $P_{h}$), Plate thickness ( $p_{t}$) and plate wetted Perimeter ( $P_{wl}$ ). To confirm the program, performance experiment was carried out for two different evaporators. The simulation results matched with experiments within $\pm$10%. Through the parametric studies, $P_{N}$ was shown to be most influential. The $P_{N}$, $P_{h}$ and $P_{wl}$ had a maximum cooling capacity point in the calculation range. In case of $P_{t}$, the smaller was the better.ter.etter.ter.

Recently, a repair method by bonding patch plates is being applied to corroded steel structures. However, one of the issues of patch plate bonding repair is the brittle debonding of the patch plates. Generally, when the delamination of the patch plates occurs, the composite effect acting between the steel members and patch plates abruptly decreases. Therefore, to prevent the brittle debonding of the patch plates, a repair method combining an adhesive and stud bolts is proposed. Till date, tensile and compressive tests have been performed for the proposed method. In this study, plate bending tests were conducted to verify the effectiveness of this method under bending conditions. Furthermore, two types of epoxy resin-based adhesives were prepared to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method with different adhesive properties. The test results show that the proposed method is able to prevent the brittle debonding of the patch plates in the case of both epoxy resins.

In view of the importance of material reduction and rational structural design due to the rapid increase in oil and steel prices, an optimized structural hybrid design system for the doubler plate of a ship's hull structure was developed. A direct design process by a structural designer was added to this developed optimized system to increase the design efficiency and provide a way of directly inserting a designer's decisions into the design system process. As the first step of the doubler design system development, the design formulas used in doubler design system were introduced. Based on the introduction of influence coefficients $K_{t_c}$ $K_{t_d}$, $K_{b_d}$ and $K_{a_d}$ according to the variations in the doubler length, breadth, doubler thickness, and average corrosion thickness of the main plate, the design formulas for an equivalent plate thickness were developed, and a hybrid design system using these formulas was suggested for the slender doubler plate of a ship structure subjected to a longitudinal in-plane compression load. By using this developed design system, a more rational doubler plate design can be expected considering the efficient reinforcement of the plate members of ship structures. Additionally, a more detailed structural analysis through local strength evaluations will be performed to verify the efficiency of the optimum structural design for the doubler plate.

Five strengthened columns and an unstrengthened column were tested under constant axial load and cyclic lateral loads to examine the seismic performance of the unbounded strengthening procedure using wire ropes and T-plates. Main variables considered were the presence of mortar cover for strengthening steel element and anchorage method of T-plate. Test results clearly showed that T-plates having a proper anchorage contribute to transfer of applied moment as well as enhancement of ductility of reinforced concrete columns. However, T-plate not anchored fully into a column base can seldom transfer the externally applied moment, though it highly improves the ductility of column. The presence of mortar cover for strengthening steel elements is significantly effective in enhancing the initial stiffness and flexural capacity of the strengthened columns, but has an adversely effect on enhancing the ductility. The ultimate moment strength predicted from the extended section laminae method in better agreement with test results compared with predictions obtained using stress black specified in ACI 318-05.

A four-noded plate bending quadrilateral (PBQ4) and an eight-noded plate bending quadrilateral (PBQ8) element based on Mindlin plate theory have been adopted for modeling the thick plates on elastic foundations using Winkler model. Transverse shear deformations have been included, and the stiffness matrices of the plate elements and the Winkler foundation stiffness matrices are developed using Finite Element Method based on thick plate theory. A computer program is coded for this purpose. Various loading and boundary conditions are considered, and examples from the literature are solved for comparison. Shear locking problem in the PBQ4 element is observed for small value of subgrade reaction and plate thickness. It is noted that prevention of shear locking problem in the analysis of the thin plate is generally possible by using element PBQ8. It can be concluded that, the element PBQ8 is more effective and reliable than element PBQ4 for solving problems of thin and thick plates on elastic foundations.

In this paper, It is performing to the elastic and elasto-plastic large deformation series analysis using a numerical method for the initial deflection effect of the aluminum alloy rectangular plate in the elasto-plastic loading area patch loading size. It is assumed a boundary condition to be a simply supported condition and consider the initial deflection amplitude, aspect ratio. It examined the critical elastic buckling load and post-buckling behaviour of aluminium alloy A6082-T6 rectangular plate. It used a commercial program for the elastic and elasto-plastic deformation series analysis. If the initial deflection amplitude is smaller, the in-plane rigidity with increasing to load is reduced from the start and occurs significantly more increasing the amplitude. More higher the aspect ratio, the initial yield strength is gradually decreased, and the plate thickness thicker and occurs larger than the thin walled plate a reduction ratio of the initial yield strength of the patch loading size as 0.5.

The aim of the present study is to investigate the buckling strength of plates and stiffened panels with opening under transverse thrust and shear actions. It is observed that the existing design formulation for critical-buckling strength of plates are not valid for perforated plates, because the current design formulation trends can significantly overestimate or underestimate the load-carrying capacity of plates when plates have large opening and/or are thick. A series of eigen value and elastic.plastic large deflection finite element analyses are carried out with varying the aspect ratio of plate, the opening size and location on plate until and after the ultimate strength is reached. Based on the results obtained from the present study, closed-form design formulations for the elastic buckling strength of plates and stiffened panels with opening are derived. The derived design formulations are considered plasticity correction of the material and verified by experimental tests and results of nonlinear finite element computations.

Purpose: To evaluate and report the clinical and radiological outcomes of open reduction and internal fixation with a mini-T plate for unstable distal clavicle fractures. Materials and Methods: From December 2004 to July 2007, fifteen patients who had a fracture of the distal clavicle (Neer type II fracture) were treated with an open reduction and internal fixation using a mini-T plate. They were followed up for a minimum of one year and the clinical and radiological results were analyzed. Results: The average time to fracture union was 3.1(3~4) months. There were no complications, such as deep infection or fixation loss. The mean ASES score was 97 points (85~100points) at the last follow up period, and 14 patients had a full range of motion of the shoulder. Conclusion: Open reduction and internal fixation with a mini-T plate for unstable distal clavicle fracture is a good surgical method with good clinical and radiological results.

Simple competition plate bioassays of Pichia anomala SKM-T and Galactomyces geotrichum SJM-59 were conducted to evaluate their potential as biological control agents that inhibit growth of Botrytis cinerea during post-harvest storage of strawberries (Fragaria ${\times}$ ananassa Duche, Red-Pearl). Occurrence rates of fungi on the surface of yeast-treated strawberries were evaluated during storage at $4^{\circ}C$. P. anomala SKM-T and G. geotrichum SJM-59 showed antifungal activities on agar plate, and P. anomala SKM-T maintained its desirable antifungal activity on surface of strawberries and its physicochemical properties during storage. Sensory evaluation was based on kinesthetics and consumer acceptability. Due to its potential antifungal activity, P. anomala SKM-T could function as biological control agent against spoilage fungi during post-harvest storage of strawberries.
