The contour method relies on deformations that occur when a residually stressed component is cut along a plane. The method is based on the elastic superposition principle. When plasticity is involved in the relaxation process, stress error in the resulting measurement of residual stress would be caused. During the cutting the specimen is constrained at a location along the cut so that deformations are restrained as much as possible during cutting. With proper selection of the constraining location the plasticity effect can also be minimized. Typical patterns of longitudinal welding residual stress state were taken to assess the plasticity effect along with constraining locations.

This paper examined the existance behavior of charged particles by measuring polarity inversion current Thermal Stimulate Current (TSC) and analysed appearance mechanism of polarity inversion current Peak and Also investigated relation between ionic space charge format ion and dielectric breakdown by measuring D.C breakdown impulse breakdown D.C - impulse superposition as a sample of FET. As a result. lie found that dielectric breakdown is likely to happen due to ionic space charge at the transient state when applied polarity inversion voltage and that charged partion of TSE Peak at the high temperature was the same as that of polarity inversion current. Also there was no effect on ionic space charge about the dielectric breakdown in stationary state when applied D.C voltage.

The forced vibration analysis of the outer-clamped spinnig annular disk with arbitrary in-plane is formulated to investigate the influence of non-uniform tension on the cutting accuracy of wafer cutting machine. The arbitrary in-plan force along the outer edge of an annular plate is expressed as a Fourier series. Galerkin method and modal superposition method are employed to obtain the forced responses under the static force and the impulse force in astationary coordinate. Through qualitative and quantitative analyses, it can be found that forced and impulse responses are sensitive to the non-uniformity of in-plane force, which can bring a bad effect to the accuracy of wafer cutting process. Also, in case of a spinning disk with non-uniform in-plane force, critical speed is required to define in a different way, compared with conventional definition in axi-symmetrical spinning disk.

The composite materials may be exposed to environmental (thermal or hygral or both) condition during their service life. The effect of environmental condition is usually adverse from the point of view of design of composite structures. In the present research study the effect of hygrothermal condition on the design of laminated composite structures is investigated. The active fiber composite (AFC) which may be utilized as actuator or sensor is considered in the present analysis. The sensor layer is used to sense the level of response of the composite structures. The sensed voltage is fed back to the actuator through the controller. In this study both displacement and velocity feedback controllers are employed to reduce the response of the composite laminate within acceptable limit. The Newmark direct time integration scheme is employed along with modal superposition method to improve the computational efficiency. It is observed from the numerical study that the laminated composite structures become weak in the presence of hygrothermal load. The response of the structure can be brought to the acceptable level once the AFC layer is activated through the feedback loop.

Most codes of practice state that for large in-plane structures it is necessary to account for the spatial variability of earthquake ground motion. There are essentially three effects that contribute for this variation: (i) wave passage effect, due to finite propagation velocity; (ii) incoherence effect, due to differences in superposition of waves; and (iii) the local site amplification due to spatial variation in geological conditions. This paper discusses the procedures to be undertaken in the time domain analysis of a cable-stayed bridge under spatial variability of earthquake ground motion. The artificial synthesis of correlated displacements series that simulate the earthquake load is discussed first. Next, it is described the 3D model of the International Guadiana Bridge used for running tests with seismic analysis. A comparison of the effects produced by seismic waves with different apparent propagation velocities and different geological conditions is undertaken. The results in this study show that the differences between the analysis with and without spatial variability of earthquake ground motion can be important for some displacements and internal forces, especially those influenced by symmetric modes.

This paper discussed on the effect of an internal damping on the stability of an elastic material subjected to dry friction force. Dry friction forces act tangentially at the contact surface between a moving belt and elastic material. The elastic material on a belt moving is modeled for simplicity into a cantilevered beam subjected to distributed follower force. In the analysis, the discretized equations derived according to finite element method are used. The impulse response of the beam are studied by the mode superposition method to observe the growth rate of the motion. It is found that the internal damping in cantilevered beam subjected to distributed follower force may act destabilizing.

The purpose of this study is augmentation of heat transfer without additional power in a rectangular impinging air jet. As a method of passive heat transfer augmentation in a two-dimensional air jet, heat transfer surface of flat plate with rods is used. This study, particularly in the wall jet rigeon, investigates the effect of the clearance between the flat plate and rod. Mechanism of heat transfer enhancement is investigated by measuring the local heat transfer coefficient. It is concluded that the superposition of the effects of flow accelerlation through the clearance between the flat plate and the rod, and reattachment of the flow was the cause of the excellent performance. The overall heat transfer rate of flat plate with rods is about 1.5 times larger than that of flat plate without rods.

This study peformed to confirm the corrected dose In different electron density materials using the superposition/FFT convolution method in radiotherapy Planning system. The experiments of the $K_2HPO_4$ diluted solution for bone substitute, Cork for lung and n-Glucose for soft tissue are very close to effective atomic number of tissue materials. The image data acquisited from the 110 KVp and 130 KVp CT scanner (Siemes, Singo emotions). The electron density was derived from the CT number (H) and adapted to planning system (Xio, CMS) for heterogeneity correction. The heterogeneity tissue phantom used for measurement dose comparison to that of delivered computer planning system. In the results, this investigations showed the CT number is highly affected in photoelectric effect in high Z materials. The electron density in a given energy spectrum showed the relation of first order as a function of H in soft tissue and bone materials, respectively. In our experiments, the ratio of electron density as a function of H was obtained the 0.001026H+1.00 in soft tissue and 0.000304H+1.07 for bone at 130 KVp spectrum and showed 0.000274H+1.10 for bone tissue in low 110 KVp. This experiments of electron density calibrations from CT number used to decide depth and length of photon transportation. The Computed superposition and FFT convolution dose showed very close to measurements within 1.0% discrepancy in homogeneous phantom for 6 and 15 MV X rays, but it showed -5.0% large discrepancy in FFT convolution for bone tissue correction of 6 MV X rays. In this experiments, the evaluated doses showed acceptable discrepancy within -1.2% of average for lung and -2.9% for bone equivalent materials with superposition method in 6 MV X rays. However the FFT convolution method showed more a large discrepancy than superposition in the low electron density medium in 6 and 15 MV X rays. As the CT number depends on energy spectrum of X rays, it should be confirm gradient of function of CT number-electron density regularly.

The creep of concrete structures caused by variable stresses is generally calculated by step-by-step method based on the superposition of creep function. Although most practical application is carried out by this linear assumption. significant deviations between predictions and experiments have been observed when unloading takes place, that is. stress is reduced. This shows that the superposition of creep function does not describe accurately the effect of sustained compressive preload. The main purpose of this study is to propose a creep analysis model which is expressed with both creep function and creep recovery function where increase or decrease of stress is repeated. In these two function method, the creep behavior is modelled by using linear creep law for loading and creep recovery law for unloading. To apply two function method to time analysis of concrete structures, the calculation method of creep strain increment under varying stress is proposed. The calculation results based on the present method correlates very well with test data, but the conventional superposition method exhibits large deviation from test results. This paper provides a more accurate method for the time dependent analysis of concrete structures subjected to varying stress, i.e. increasing or decreasing stress. The present method may be efficiently employed in the revision of future concrete codes.

Various factors may contribute on the mixing processes in the surf zone formed by irregular waves. The turbulence motion driven by wave breaking may be one of the major causes, the effect due to spatial variation on current velocity be a secondary one, and the additional process may result from the irregular superposition of radiation stresses or wave breaking dissipation incurred by random breaking waves in a broadened surf zone. In the present study a numerical model of spectral waves and induced currents was developed using a superposition technique with ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ closure for mixing process and applied to a field situation of longshore current generated by spectral waves on a uniform beach. It was found from the application that the surf-zone mixing processes formed by irregular waves can be well described by using ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ equations if the source of ${\kappa}$ is properly represented. The nonlinear energy transfer was also found to have some influence on the velocity profile of longshore current particularly in very shallow water region near coast.
