Arguments in favor of cyclic servicing, as opposed to random servicing, in connection with machines which stop in a random manner, are not conclusive because hitherto no general formular has been available for calculating the results which may be expected from cyclic servicing. The aim of the following paper is to help in evaluating the cyclic procedure by presenting a formular for calculating the standard efficiency of a group of semi-automatic machines assigned to one operator who will service them on a cyclic pattern.

Chloride induced corrosion is a concern that governs the durability of concrete structures in marine environments, especially in tidal environments. During the service lives of concrete structures, internal cracks in the concrete cover may appear due to imposed loads, accelerating chloride penetration because of the simultaneous action of environmental and service structural loads. This paper investigated the effects of cyclic flexural loads on chloride diffusion characteristics of plain concretes, and proposed a model to predict the chloride penetration into plain concretes subjected to both tidal environments and different cyclic flexural load levels. Further, a new experiment was performed to verify the model. Results of the model using Finite Difference Method (FDM) showed that the durability of concretes in tidal environments was reduced as cyclic flexural load levels, SR, increased, and the modeling results fitted well with the experimental results.

The GTS(Guaranteed Time Slot) of IEEE802.15.4 standard, which is the contention free access mechanism, has some problems such as the limited number of deployed devices, the low channel utilization and the service confirm delay. The proposed Cyclic-CFA(Contention Free Access) scheme is a modified polling algorithm that allows a large number of devices to be served Contention Free Access without polling packets. The Cyclic-CFA scheme improves the channel utilization dramatically and also reduces service delay time.

With the increasing complexity of cabling at sensory level in process control and manufacturing automation, field buses were introduced to replace the traditional point to point links from each sensor or acruator to its controlling equipments by a single link on which all information is transmitted seriall and multiplexed in time. In this papr, we introduce the BITBUS network as a field bus. For the service discipline of the BITBUS network, two service strategies are proposed to obtain the performance of the network. They are the equal priority cyclic service strategy and the non-equal priority cyclic service strategy. The former assigns equal priority to each node for polling and the latter assumes non-equal priority. The BITBUS network was modeled as a cyclic queueing model and it is analyzed by two methods: the Kuehn's and the Boxma's. Computer simulation was also done for the cyclic queueing model and simulation results were compared with those. Under mathematically non-analyzable environment, only the computer simulation was done. From the simulation result, in order to meet the response time requirement of 5 msec imposed by International Electrotechnical Commission when each node has the average traffic of 5000 messages/sec in manufacturing automation the number of slave nodes should be smaller than 10 at the transmission rate of 2.5 Mbps.

Since bridge decks have many cyclic loadings by such as moving loads in a whole life, effects of cyclic loading as well as static loading should be considered. Particularly, in a view of serviceability and durability, structural performance by cyclic service loadings is very important. In this paper, experimental studies on flexural behavior of RC beams with new types of loop joints under cyclic loadings were conducted. Then the structural behavior for serviceability and strength were discussed.

In this paper, an approximate sojourn time distribution is obtained for cyclic service systems. We consider symmetric and limited service systems in which each queue has an infinite capacity. The combined service time is defined which consists of the frame service time and server waiting time that is approximated by two cases of the uniform and exponential distributions. The approximate sojourn time distribution is obtained from the Pollaczek-Khinchine formula where the combined service time is used for the service time in the M/G/I model. And some numerical examples are given to validate the suggested approximate analysis.

Gravel ballasted tracks are used as a basic structure for the domestic railway tracks. However, such kind of tracks has few disadvantages with service life of the structure, such as rapid deterioration of the tracks. Due to this reason, there is a need to develop low maintenance track to improve the service life of the conventional line tracks. CMP paved tacks are one of the kind of concrete tracks those were manufactured by using the prepacked concrete techniques. The purpose to develop paved tracks is to reduce the maintenance cost. The most important controlling factors to design the paved tracks are surrounding environmental condition and repeated train loading. In this study, in order to investigate the deformation characteristics such as displacement, earth pressure, strain ratio, and crack along the repeated loading cycle, cyclic loading test through real scale model was carried out.

This paper presents an algorithm to obtain an approximate optimal solution for the service restoration and load balancing of large scale radial distribution system in a real-time operation environment. Since the problem is formulated as a combinatorial optimization problem, it is difficult to solve a large-scale combinatorial optimization problem accurately within the reasonable computation time. Therefore, in order to find an approximate optimal solution quickly, the authors proposed an algorithm which combines optimization technique called cyclic best-first search with heuristic based feeder loadings balance index for computational efficiency and robust performance. To demonstrate the validity of the proposed algorithm, numerical calculations are carried out the KEPCO's 108 bus distribution system.

Flaw geometries, applied stress, and material properties are major input variables for the fracture mechanics analysis. Probabilistic approach can be applied for the consideration of uncertainties within these input variables. But probabilistic analysis requires many assumptions due to the lack of initial flaw distributions data. In this study correlations are examined between initial flaw distributions and in-service flaw distributions on structures under cyclic load. For the analysis, LEFM theories and Monte Carlo simulation are applied. Result shows that in-service flaw distributions are determined by initial flaw distributions rather than fatigue crack growth rate. So initial flaw distribution can be derived from in-service flaw distributions.
