An empirical relationship between parameters from SP curves and tensile properties has been systematically investigated by experimental tests and FEM simulations. A series of SP and tensile tests were performed. SP tests were also simulated by FE analysis with various tensile properties. It was found that the yield loads(Py) and the maximum loads( $P_{MAX}$) in SP curves were linearly related with the yield strength($\sigma$$_{o}$) and the tensile strength($\sigma$$_{UTS}$), respectively. The yield loads defined from the intersection point of two lines tangent to the elastic bending region and plastic bending region showed better relation to the yield strength than those from offset line. The maximum loads in SP curves showing plastic instability region was linearly related with the tensile strengths. The slope of SP curves in simulation results had a close correlation with the hardening coefficient and hardening strength as well.l.l.l.

Several voltage instability/collapse problems that have occurred in the electric utility industry worldwide have gained the attention of engineers and researchers of electric power systems. This paper proposes an effective calculation scheme of the extreme loading point and nose curves(P-V curves) using modified Newton-Raphson(N-R) load flow method and the Continuation Method. This method provides detail and visual information of the power system voltage profile and operating margin ro operators and planners. In this paper, a modified load flow claculation method for ill-conditioned power systems is introduced for the purpose of seeking more precise load flow solutions and nose curves, and the Continuation Method is also used as a part of the solution algorithm for the calculation of extreme loading point and nose curves. The conventional polar coordinate based N-R load flow program is modified to avoid numerical difficulties caused by the singularity of the Jacobian matrix occuring in the vicinity of extreme loading point of heavily loaded systems. Application results of the proposed method to Klos-Kerner 11-bus system and modified IEE-30-bus system are presented to assure the usefulness of the approach.

In this study, we carried out the experiments for measuring the variations of corrosion potential and current density for polarization curves with polyvinylchloride. The results exhibited especially the influence affecting the corrosion potential and various conditions (temperature, day, pH, bacteria, and added salt). The second anodic current density peak and the minimum passive current density are designated $I_P/I_0,$ respectively. The value of $I_P/I_O$ is used as a measurement for the extent of degradation of the polyvinylchloride. The potentiodpnamics parameters of the corrosion were obtained using Tafel equation.

We show a class of homogeneous polynomials of Fermat-Waring type such that for a polynomial P of this class, if $P(f_1,{\ldots},f_{N+1})=P(g_1,{\ldots},g_{N+1})$, where $f_1,{\ldots},f_{N+1}$; $g_1,{\ldots},g_{N+1}$ are two families of linearly independent entire functions, then $f_i=cg_i$, $i=1,2,{\ldots},N+1$, where c is a root of unity. As a consequence, we prove that if X is a hypersurface defined by a homogeneous polynomial in this class, then X is a unique range set for linearly non-degenerate non-Archimedean holomorphic curves.

Experiments were carried out to measure variations in the oxidation potential and current density using the polarization curves of polycarbonate. The results were then examined to identify the influences affecting the oxidation potential related to various conditions, such as temperature, pH, and oxydase(citrate and lipase). The lines representing the active anodic and cathodic dissolution shifted only slightly in the potential direction relative to temperature, pH, and the effect of the enzyme. The Tafel slope for the anodic and cathodic dissolution was determined such that the reversibility polarization was indicated as being effected by various conditions. The slope of the polarization curves describing the active-to-passive transition region shifted noticeably in their direction. Also, by varying the conditions, the optimum conditions for the most ready transform were identified, including temperature, pH, oxidation rate, and resistance of oxidation potential. The critical oxidation sensitivity(I(sub)r/I(sub)f) of the anodic current density peak and maximum passive current density was also determined, which is used in measuring the critical corrosion sensitivity of a polycarbonate.

A comparative assessment study for a generation of the pressure-temperature (P-T) limit curve of a reactor vessel is performed in accordance with ASME code. Using cooling or heating rate and vessel material properties, stress distribution is obtained to calculate stress intensity factors, which are compared with the material fracture toughness to determine the relations between operating pressure and temperature during reactor cool-down and heat-up. P-T limit curves are analyzed with respect to defect orientation, clad thickness, toughness curve, cooling or heating rate and neutron fluence. The resulting P-T curves are compared each other.

This study is to diagnose the drought tolerance of twenty broad-leaved tree species by the pressure-volume(P-V) curves. As for the diagnosis of drought tolerance, the valuable water relations parameters obtained from P-V curves are the osmotic potential at full turgor, ${\Psi}_0{^{sat}}$, osmotic potential at incipient plasmolysis, ${\Psi}_0{^{tlp}}$, maximum bulk modulus of elasticity, $E_{max}$, and relative water content at incipient plasmolysis, $RWC^{tlp}$. Also, the figures related to the diagnosis of drought tolerance are the free water content (FWC) versus leaf water potential(${\Psi}_L$), volume-averaged turgor pressure ($P_{vat}$) versus leaf water potential (${\Psi}_L$), and H$\ddot{o}$fler diagram. In this study, the relatively high drought tolerant species are Fraxinus rhynchophylla, Quercus acutissima, Quercus serrata, Quercus aliena, and Populus alba${\times}$glandulosa ; the relatively low drought tolerant species are Fraxinus mandshurica, Betula platyphylla var. japonica, Populus euramericana, Kalopanax pictum, Carpinus loxiflora, Carpinus cordata, Prunus sargentii, Prunus leveilleana, and Cornus controversa ; medium species are Quercus mongolica, Acer mono, Acer triflorum, Acer pseudo-sieboldianum, Ulmus davidiana, and Zelkova serrata.

In this study, 1 g shaking table group pile tests were performed for various conditions of subgrade and pile spacing. The pile spacing was changed from three to seven times of pile diameters. It could be confirmed that the dynamic p-y curves for the group pile observed as the results of a series of shaking table tests show difference according to the pile spacing, the pile location within the pile group, the relative density of subgrade and the excess pore pressure during earthquake. The dynamic p-multipliers were calculated by comparing the dynamic p-y backbone curves of a single pile suggested by Yang (2009) and dynamic p-y curves for the group pile. Dynamic p-multiplier values overall increase as the relative density of subgrade and amplitude of input acceleration increase. The dynamic group pile effect was neglected, if the pile spacing was seven times as large as pile diameters. It was found that the exisiting p-multiplier values suggested by various researchers for the static and dynamic loading, and the values recommended by globally used specifications show difference with the test results by up to 0.7 (approximately 70%). Therefore, the dynamic p-multipliers were newly suggested according to the pile spacing and the relative density of subgrade using the test results.

Optimal quenching curves have been studied for the accurate analysis of $^{14}C$ in groundwater polluted by reducing efficiency of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in liquid scintillation counter (LSC). The quenching parameters (SQP(E)) were measured for ten VOCs such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, o-(m-,p-)xylene, trichloroethylene (TCE), tetrachloroethylene(PCE), carbon tetrachloride and chloroform. The quenching curves were plotted using $^{14}C$ standard solution and chloroform as a quenching agent. Optimal plotting conditions were determined for standard solution, LSC measuring time and the concentration of chloroform. The quenching effects of chlorinated organic compounds such as TCE, PCE, carbon tetrachloride and chloroform were greater than those of BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene). Optimum measuring time was 100 minutes far 7,000 dpm/mL standard solution. A few mL of chloroform should be added for good quenching curves. These quenching curves have good correlation coefficients (> 0.99) and the curves could be applied to accurate analysis of $^{14}C$ in groundwater and tap water.
