In this paper, tensile behavior and low cycle fatigue behavior of 316L stainless steel which is currently favored structural material for several high temperature components such as the liquid metal cooled fast breeder reactor (LMFBR) were investigated. Research was performed at 55$0^{\circ}C$, $600^{\circ}C$ and $650^{\circ}C$ since working temperature of 316L stainless steel in a real field is from 40$0^{\circ}C$ to $650^{\circ}C$. From tensile tests performed by strain controls with $1{\times}10^{-3}/s,\; l{\times}10^{ -4}/s \;and\; 1{\times}10/^{ -5}/ s $ strain rates at each temperature, negative strain rate response (that is, strain hardening decreases as strain rate increases) and negative temperature response were observed. Strain rate effect was relatively small compared with temperature effect. LCF tests with a constant total strain amplitude were performed by strain control with a high temperature extensometer at R.T, 55$0^{\circ}C$, $600^{\circ}C$, $650^{\circ}C$ and total strain amplitudes of 0.3%~0.8% were used and test strain rates were $1{times}10^{-2} /s,\; 1{times}10^{-3} /s\; and\; 1{times}10^{-4} /s$. A new energy based LCF life prediction model which can explain the effects of temperature, strain amplitude and strain rate on fatigue life was proposed and its excellency was verified by comparing with currently used models.

Low-cycle environmental fatigue tests of cast austenitic stainless steel CF8M at the condition of fatigue strain rate 0.04%/sec were conducted at the pressure and temperature, 15MPa, $315^{\circ}C$ of a operating pressurized water reactor. The used test rig was limited to install an extensometer at the gauge length of the cylindrical fatigue specimen inside the small autoclave. So the magnet type LVDT's were used to measure the fatigue displacement at the specimen shoulders inside the high temperature and high pressure water autoclave. However, the displacement and strain measured at the specimen shoulders is different from the one at the gauge length for the geometry and the cyclic strain hardening effect. FEM calculated the displacement and the strain of the gauge length from the data measured at the shoulders. Tensile test properties in elastic and plastic behavior of CF8M material were used in the FEM analysis. A series of low cycle fatigue tests simulating the cyclic strain hardening effect verified that the FEM calculation was well agreed with the simulated tests. The process and method developed in this study would be so useful to produce reliable environmental fatigue curves of CF8M stainless steel in pressurized water reactors.

녹산국가산업단지가 설립된 부산 낙동강 하류는 국내에서 연약지반이 가장 깊이 분포하고 있는 지역 중에 하나이다. 연약지반의 깊이가 깊은 해안 매립지의 경우, 장기간에 걸쳐 상당히 큰 잔류침하가 발생하게 된다. 본 연구는 RADARSAT-1과 Envisat의 다중시기 SAR 영상을 이용한 차분간섭기법과 SBAS 시계열 기법을 통해, 녹산산업국가단지에서 2002년 9월부터 2007년 4월 동안에 발생된 지반침하를 관측하였다. 그 결과 연구지역의 동쪽 중앙, 서쪽 중앙, 서쪽, 해안가와 닿아있는 남단에서 최대 10 cm/yr, 평균 6 cm/yr의 속도로 지반침하가 발생되고 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 RADARSAT-1 SAR 영상을 이용한 평균지표변위도는 2001년부터 2002년까지 침하계로 관측된 현장관측자료와 비교 분석되었다. 시간에 따른 지표변위 양상이 거의 선형에 가깝게 나타나므로, 연구지역의 지반침하가 안정권에 접어들 때까지 지속적인 모니터링이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Low-cycle environmental fatigue tests of cast austenitic stainless steel CF8M at the condition of fatigue strain rate 0.04%/sec were conducted at the pressure and temperature, 15MPa, $315^{\circ}C$ of a operating pressurized water reactor (PWR). The used test rig was limited to install an extensometer at the gauge length of the cylindrical fatigue specimen inside a small autoclave. So the magnet type LVDT#s were used to measure the fatigue displacement at the specimen shoulders inside the high temperature and high pressure water autoclave. However, the displacement and strain measured at the specimen shoulders is different from the one at the gauge length for the geometry and the cyclic strain hardening effect. Displacement of the fatigue specimen gauge length calculated by FEM (finite element method) used to modify the measured displacement and fatigue life at the shoulders. A series of low cycle fatigue life tests in air and PWR conditions simulating the cyclic strain hardening effect verified that the FEM modified fatigue life was well agreed with the simulating test results. The process and method developed in this study for the environmental fatigue test inside the small sized autoclave would be so useful to produce reliable environmental fatigue curves of CF8M stainless steel in pressurized water reactors.

Since extensometers are used to determine the absolute deformation of foundation and abutments and all results are obtained in reference to the base rod, the accuracy of these results has been constantly a subject of debate. In this regard, locating and installing extensometers outside the range of effect zone is also another challenge. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate and modify extensometers results based on the mentioned issues. For this aim, the concrete RCC Zhaveh dam in Iran was selected as the case study. To study the results of extensometers installed in this dam, first, the 3DEC_DP 5.00 software was applied for numerical modeling. Parameters such as discontinuities, dead load and piezometric pressure in the interface of concrete and rock were considered. Next, using the results obtained from 6 extensometers in foundation and abutments and 4 clinometers in dam body, the numerical model was calibrated through back analysis method. The results indicate that the base rod is moved and is not recommended being used as the base point. In other words, because installation of base anchor outside the range of effect zone is not possible due to the operational and economic considerations, the obtained results are not accurate enough. The results indicate a considerable 2-3 mm displacement of the base rod (location of the base anchor) in reference to the real zero point location, which must be added to the base rod results.

Purpose: This study examined the effect of an integrated kinetic program on the body composition of middle-aged and their associated blood lipid components. Methods: The subjects included 50 middle-aged women who resided at J city. Upon their agreements, the subjects were divided into either an experimental group or the control group. There were 25 subjects in each. The integrated kinetic program was conducted during the 6 weeks, and the experimental group was underwent its associated program 5 times a week. There were 3 subjects from each group that were excluded. The extensions were measured with the extensometer, the weights were taken with the body ingredient analysis instrument, and the blood lipid consistency with the blood autoanalyzer. Results: Pre- and Post- the integrated kinetic program, there were statistically significant differences between the body fat mass and the BMI in the experimental group. However, this difference was not significantly different in the control group. Further, there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups of all items in blood lipid components. But the experimental group showed the decrement from TC and TG items after accomplishing the program. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that this kinetic program helps the prevention and functional control of bodily functional decrement to middle-aged women. It is considered that follow-up studies on practically integrated kinetic programs are needed so that they include exercise accomplishments of proper period and good quality nutrition intake. This is in order to maintain muscular quantity and prevent muscle function decrement for the healthy middle-aged women, preparing in aging and menopause.

For reliable determination of mechanical characteristics of adhesively bonded joints used e.g. as input data for computer-aided design of complex components, the thick-adherend tensile-shear test according to ISO 11003-2 is the most important material testing method. Although the total displacement of the joint is measured across the polymer layer directly in the overlap zone in order to minimize the influence of the stepped adherends, the substrate deformation must be taken into account within the framework of the evaluation of the shear modulus and the maximum shear strain, at least when high-strength adhesives are applied. In the standard ISO 11003-2 version of 1993, it was prescribed to perform the substrate deformation correction by means of testing a one-piece reference specimen. The authors, however, pointed to the excessive demands on the measuring accuracy of the extensometers connected with this technique in industrial practice and alternatively proposed a numerical deformation analysis of a dummy specimen. This idea of a mathematical correction was included in the revised ISO 11003-2 version of 2001 but in the simplified form of an analytical method based on Hooke's law of elasticity for small strains. In the present work, it is shown that both calculation techniques yield considerably discordant results. As experimental assessment would require high-precision distance determination (e.g. laser extensometer), finite element analyses of the deformation behavior of the bonded joint are performed in order to estimate the accuracy of the obtained substrate deformation corrections. These simulations reveal that the numerical correction technique based on the finite element deformation modeling of the reference specimen leads to considerably more realistic results.

Purpose: Proximal crescentic metatarsal osteotomy(PMO) is one of the most common procedures for correcting moderate to severe degree hallux valgus deformity. Although screw fixation is used for osteotomy site stability, loss of reduction can occur. The purpose of this study is to compare the sagittal plane stability of the conventional crescentic PMO fixed with a single screw with that of the crescentic PMO fixed with 1 screw and 2 supplemental K -wires. Material and Methods: Ten matched pairs of cadaveric foot specimens were used for the proximal crescentic metatarsal osteotomy. For one foot specimen of each pair, crescentic osteotomy was fixed with 4mm long threaded cannulated screw, while the matched pair was prepared by adding two axial 1.6mm K-wires to the conventionally fixed 4mm screw. The extensometer was used to measure the osteotomy gap as the metatarsal head was loaded continuously until failure using a servohydraulic MTS Mini Bionix test frame. The strength of fixation was normalized with the bone mineral density (BMD) of the paired specimen $(N{\times}cm^{2}/gm)$, Result: The average strength of the crescentic PMO with axial K-wire fixation ($458.8cm^{2}/gm$, S.D. 434.3) was significantly higher than the standard crescentic PMO ($367.5cm^{2}/gm$, S.D. 397,9) (p=0.05). Conclusion: Supplemental fixation with two axial K-wires can be added to the crescentic PMO to enhance the initial fixation stability to prevent the loss of reduction or dorsal malunion.

The measurement of the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of polypropylene laminated paper (PPLP) as electric insulating material is important for its practical superconducting device application. The thermal strain induced to HTS tapes and its insulating material during cooling from room temperature might largely affect the critical current ($I_c$) of HTS tapes. In this study, the thermal contraction of PPLP material was measured during cooling from 300 K to 77 K using double extensometers. Initially, the CTE of a brass tape was measured and it was compared with a reference data. It was found that the measured thermal expansion data of the brass material approaches that of the reference one. Based on the results, it was then confirmed that the measurement technique could be applied to thin and flexible samples. Therefore, the same measurement procedure was applied to PPLP material using double extensometers. As a result, the linear CTE of the PPLP at 77 K has been measured to be ${\sim}15.3{\times}10^{-6}/K$. Also, it was found that the thermal contraction characteristics of PPLP was dominated by polypropylene on the cross direction (higher thermal contraction) while it was dominated by Kraft paper on the machine direction (lower thermal contraction). Overall, this measurement procedure could be adopted for the determination of CTE of flexible materials such as PPLP.
