Tong-young LNG tank is a LNG storage tank of 140,000 kl, and it is composed of Bottom Slab(Annular, Center), Outer Wall, Ring Beam and Roof. Generally, when concrete temperature arise, the complex thermal stress of inner and outer part can cause serious thermal crack and damage at structure. So in this paper, for the control of this thermal crack, we did the concrete mix design with the base of fly-ash 30% substitute at binder, and through the computer modelling at Bottom Slab(Annular, Center), Outer Wall, Ring Beam and Roof, we studied the probability of thermal crack by thermal crack index.

In this study, the thermal and stress analyses were performed by applying a temperature condition of 100℃ at CPU cooler model. The value of heat flux value is shown to be the most at the lower rod area. The upper part becomes, the smaller the heat flow rate. The highest temperature is shown at the bottom of the CPU cooler model. Overall, the upper part becomes, the smaller the temperature becomes. Based on the temperature analysis, the thermal deformation caused by expansion, the deformation becomes smaller as the upper part of the overlapping plates. The great deformation happens at the bent area of the small rod as the lower part of model and the least deformation is shown at the lowest floor of model. In addition, the maximum thermal stress of 570.63 MPa happens at the floor below model. The stress is shown to decrease as the upper part of the overlapping plates becomes. But the stress is shown to increase somewhat at the middle part of model. By applying the study result on the thermal and stress analyses of CPU cooler, this study is seen to be suitable for the aesthetic convergence.

To investigate the effects of ocean conditions on the thermal stress and deformation caused by thermal stratification of a pressurizer surge line in a floating nuclear power plant (FNPP), the finite element simulation platform ANSYS Workbench is utilized to conduct the fluid-solid-thermal coupling transient analysis of the surge line under normal "wave-out" condition (no motion) and under ocean conditions (rolling and pitching), generating the transient response characteristics of temperature distribution, thermal stress and thermal deformation inside the surge line. By comparing the calculated results for the three motion conditions, it is found that ocean conditions can significantly improve the thermal stratification phenomenon within the surge line, but may also result in periodic oscillations in the temperature, thermal stress, and thermal deformation of the surge line. Parts of the surge line that are more susceptible to thermal fatigue damage or failure are determined. According to calculation results, the improvements are recommended for pipeline structure to reduce the effects of thermal oscillation caused by ocean conditions. The analysis method used in this study is beneficial for designing and optimizing the pipeline structure of a floating nuclear power plant, as well as for increasing its safety.

We determined oxidative stress caused by thermal stress in olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus based on the altered-mRNA expression and enzymatic activity of two key antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), along with monitoring of several other biomarkers. When the fish were exposed to acute thermal change (from $20^{\circ}C$ to $25^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$), the expression and activity of both enzymes were significantly higher at elevated temperatures ($25^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$) than at $20^{\circ}C$. Lipid peroxidation (LPO) was also higher at $25^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$ than at $20^{\circ}C$. In addition, the plasma $H_2O_2$ concentration was significantly increased by thermal stress. Furthermore, we investigated changes due to thermal stress by measuring levels of plasma alanine aminotransferase (AlaAT) and aspartate aminotrasferase (AspAT). Both were significantly increased by thermal stress. As an immune indicator, the lysozyme concentration was lower at $30^{\circ}C$ than at $20^{\circ}C$, indicating that thermal stress decreases immune function. Therefore, thermal stress could induce oxidative stress and suppress immune function and can cause physiological stress.

The Purpose of this study is to know temperature and thermal stress distribution in specimens during processing of WEDM. If it is constant to the cutting speed and the thickness of material, it is very important to the effect of temperature and the thermal stress distribution after cutting processing. This paper show the analysis result of the distribution of temperature and the residual stress along the direction of thickness before processing of WEDM and after when the cooling temperature is$20^{\circ}C$. The maximum temperature of edge of specimens is $1600^{\circ}C$. It has little temperature gradient in the depth which is 5mm away from edge of specimens. Equivalent residual stress is result in 180.7 MPa at maximum temperature.

With respect to thermal barrier coating, the analysis of interface cohesion and residual stress is important to the life of TBC from mechanical view point. Up to now, there is not a model of describing interface cohesion. In the paper, we give a simple model of computing residual stress and study the residual stress of TBC with ANSYS. The distribution of the residual stress in different interface topography and the relationship between the residual stress and the interface topography dimension are presented.

In this study, the effect of external restraint on the thermal stresses and thermal cracking mode in mass concrete are analysed using the two major factors affecting external restraint such as the ratio of width go height of the placed structure (L/H) and the elastic modulus of base structure (E). For this parametric study, many cases with different values of L/H and Er are analysed by the FEM program and the co-relationship of the those major factors is examined. To evaluate the effect of external restraint on the thermal behavior of placing structure, internal restraint stress caused by temperature difference is subtracted from total thermal stress. In the case of small value of L/H or Er, it shows as internally restricted mode indicating maximum tensile stress in surface at early age, and the external restraint makes the possibility of thermal cracking higher. However, in the case of the large values of L/H and Er, the crack index at center is smaller than at surface due to the effect of external restraint. Thus, the initial location of the thermal crack is shifted from the surface to the center and the resulting crack is formed at later age.

This study was intended to search the thermal properties of rice which are necessary in preventing qualitative and quantitative losses in the drying and milling processes. First, the coefficient of cubical thermal expansion of brown rice was measured, which is required for analyzing the internal stress of rice, and then theoretical thermal and moisture stresses were calculated. The results are summarized as follows: 1. The coefficient of cubical thermal expansion of brown rice was about $2.81{\times}10^{-4}/^{\circ}C$ in the temperature range of $10^{\circ}C-60^{\circ}C$. 2. When the shape of brown rice was assumed to be a sphere or a cylinder, maximum thermal stress due to temperature change of $20^{\circ}C-60^{\circ}C$ was in the range of $25-100kg/cm^2$. And maximum moisture stress was in the range of $450-650kg/cm^2$ when the drying temperature was $35^{\circ}C$, initial and final moisture contents of brown rice were 20% and 14% (w.b.), and the moisture diffusion coefficient was assumed to be $6.79{\times}10^{-4}cm^2/hr$. 3. Consequently, it was concluded that crack formation in a rice kernel is mainly caused by moisture stress.

MEMS technology applying to the sensors and micro-electro devices is complete system. These microsystems are made by variable processes. Especially, the mentallization process has very important functions to transfer the power operating the sensor and signal induced from sensor part. But in the structures of MEMS the local stress concentration and deformation are often yielded by an irregular geometrical shape and different constraint. Therefore, this paper studies the effect of supporting type and thickness ratio about thin film of the substrate on the residual stress variation when the thermal loads is applied to the multi-layer thin film fabricated by metallization process. Specimens were made from several materials such as Al, Au and Cu. Then, uniform thermal load was applied, repeatedly. The residual stress was measured by FE Analysis and nano-indentation method using AFM. Generally, the specimen made of Al induced the larger residual stress than that of made of other materials. Specimen made of Cu and Au having the low thermal expansion coefficient induces the minimum residual stress. Similarly, the lowest indentation length was measured by nano-indentation method in the Si/Au/Cu specimen. Particularly, clusters are created in the specimen made of Cu by thermal load and the indentation length became increasingly large by cluster formation.

The piping systems in the steam-driven power engines lie under the cyclic condition of thermal expansion and contraction by superheated steam. These phenomena might cause some severe damages on the pipes and the accessory devices. To avoid these damages, the calculation of the proper strength and the consideration of the reduced resultant forces on the materials are needed. In the present study, numerical investigations on the effects of the thermal deformation of the industrial piping system were performed with comparison of the design data. Commercial software, ABAQUS with the thermal-fluidic loadings based on the design conditions was used for the thermal stress analysis of the piping system. From the analysis of the initially-designed pipe supporters, the rearrangement was suggested to improve the piping design.
