Numerical solution of thermal stress by CAE analysis could be an effective method in product development stage of castings to predict and treat the problem of solidification cracking of castings. Quantitative stress-strain data are necessary, in this case. Tension type apparatus of a solidification crack test which can measure stress-strain relationship quantitatively was developed and the test procedure was established by this research. Solidification crack strength obtained from the following test procedure could be utilized to evaluate it in terms of effect factors on thermo-plastic characteristic of solidifying alloy such as grain size of solid, grain morphology, distribution of solid grain, etc. Proposed test procedure is as follow: Prediction of temperature at the failure site of solidification cracked specimen by computer simulation of solidification, Calculation of solid fraction of the failure site from thermodynamic solution of solidification under Scheil condition.

용융 합금의 표면 장력은 도금, 용접등 금속 제조 공정중 큰 영향을 미치는 재료의 물성 중 하나이다. 표면 장력의 측정을 위해 다양한 방법이 개발 되었으며 많은 합금계에 대해 표면 장력값이 온도와 조성의 변화에 대해 알려져 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 실험 측정의 어려움, 실용적인 다원계 합금에서의 표면 장력 측정치의 부족으로 인해 전술한 금속 제조 공정에서 나타나는 현상에 대한 해석에 사용하기에 아직 해결해야 할 부분들이 많이 있다. 본 연구에서는 표면 장력이 합금의 Gibbs free energy의 한 부분으로 기술되는 열역학 원리 및 표면 장력이 Gibbs energy 수식 내 표면적에 대응하는 포텐셜 함수로 얻을수 있다는 Pajarre등의 제안에 근거하여 용융합금의 표면 장력을 계산하는 방법을 제시한다. 다양한 열역학 성질과 상태도를 계산하기 위해 개발된 열역학 소프트웨어 및 데이터베이스를 활용하여 2원계-다원계 용융 합금의 표면장력을 계산하고 이를 알려진 실험 자료와 비교하였다. 철강 제품의 표면 도금에 사용되는 용융 아연 합금의 표면 장력을 전술한 방법을 통해 예측하고 그 결과를 토의한다.

This paper presents the results of motion tests of a moored semi-submersible platform in regular waves. To investigate the effects of mooring system on the motion characteristics, the tests were performed under the various mooring conditions in regular head and beam waves. Two types of mooring system were employed: one is composed of soft springs and the other is of chains. In the case of chains the pretensions were varied to investigate the dynamic effects of mooring forces as well as the motion responses of the semi-submersible. The motion responses and mooring tensions were measured and analyzed by the double amplitude method. The measured motion responses were also compared with the results of calculation from three-dimensional potential theory. Finally, the dynamic behaviors of mooring chains were studied.

Cantilevers are unique statically determinate structural elements with respect to their mode of overall buckling, in that the tension flange is the critical flange under gravity loading, and is the flange that deflects greatest during overall buckling. While this phenomenon does not complicate the calculation of the lateral buckling load, either theoretically or in structural design codes, it has been shown in previous research that the influence of distortion in the elastic buckling of cantilevers is not the same as that experienced in the elastic buckling of simply supported beams. This paper extends the study of the distortional buckling of cantilevers into the hitherto unconsidered inelastic range of structural response. A finite element method for studying the inelastic bifurcative instability of members whose cross-sections may distort during buckling is described, and the efficacy of the method is demonstrated. It is then used to study the inelastic distortional buckling of hot-rolled I-section cantilevers with two common patterns of residual stresses, and which may be restrained elastically from buckling by other structural elements.

Improvement was made on the free span analysis of the offshore pipelines. The effect of axial force (both tension and compressive force) can be explicitly applied to the current design code. The closed form solutions of beam-column equation were derived for the typical boundary conditions. The solutions can be used to find the natural frequencies of the span using the energy balance concept. The results can be applied to the current design code and will result more realistic calculation of free span lengths of offshore pipelines.

A statistical thermodynamical treatment for polymer adsorption from solution is presented. The canonical partition function for the polymer solution in the presence of a surface or an impermeable interface is formulated on the basis of usual quasi-crystalline lattice model, Bragg-Williams approximation of random mixing, and Pak's simple treatment of liquid. The present theory gives the surface excess ${\Gamma}_{exc}$ and the surface coverage ${\phi}^s_2$ of the polymer as a function of the chain length x, the Flory-Huggins parameter x, the adsorption energy parameter $x_s$, and polymer concentration $v_2$. Present theory is also applicable to the calculation of interfacial tension of polymer solution against water. For the idealized flexible polymer, interfacial tensions according to our theory fit good to the experimental data to the agreeable degrees.

This paper presents the solution scheme of using the continuous formulation of 1-D linear member for the dynamic analysis of structures consisting of axially loaded members. The context describes specific applications of such scheme to the verification of experimental data obtained from field test of bridges carried out by a microwave interferometer system and velocimeters. Attention is focused on analysis outlines that may be applicable to in-situ assessment for cable-stayed bridges. The derivation of the dynamic stiffness matrix of a prismatic member with distributed properties is briefly reviewed. A back calculation formula using frequencies of two arbitrary modes of vibration is next proposed to compute the tension force in cables. Derivation of the proposed formula is based on the formulation of an axially loaded flexural member. The applications of the formulation and the proposed formula are illustrated with a series of realistic examples.

The paper proposes a technique for reconstructing the true hardening curve of isotropic materials from ring tensile tests. Neutron irradiated 42XNM alloy tensile properties were investigated. The calculation of the true hardening curve for tensile and compression tests of standard cylindrical samples was performed at the first step. After that, the FEM-model was developed and validated using the ring tension and compression tests (with the hardening curve defined in step 1). Finally, the true hardening curve was calculated by selecting the FEM-model parameters and its validation by ring sample tests in different states using an iterative method. For these samples, experimental and calculated gauge length values were obtained, and the corresponding material's constants were estimated.

When we design a product, we spend a considerable amount of time in designing fasteners and their mating parts. Fasteners have special features because of which they are widely used and well standardized. Although we use some equations to design the fasteners, we should select these fasteners from the standardized table. In order to design them quickly using the CAD system, we proceeded as follows. First, we prepared some standardized shapes of fasteners to design them automatically. Next, we built a database of some fasteners such as a tension bolt, lock wire, thread, pin, and snap ring. Then, we used the design equations to quickly and precisely calculate the various parameters. Finally, we used a configuration design method to generate the shapes automatically using the results of the calculation and the values retrieved from the database. We applied this approach to the design of a propulsion structure, and demonstrated that this approach worked well and saved considerable time.

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the safety under extreme environmental conditions and the dynamic safety under service environment conditions, of oceanographic buoy mooring systems consisting of a variety of materials, including chain, wire rope, nylon rope, and polypropylene rope. For the static safety assessment of a mooring system, after the calculation of external forces and the division of a mooring system into finite elements, the numerical integral was conducted to yield the elemental static tension until satisfying the geometrical convergence condition. To evaluate the dynamic safety, various processes were considered, including data collection about the anticipated areas for mooring, a determination of the parameters for the interpretation, the interpretation of the dynamic characteristics based on an analytic equation that takes into account the heave motion effect of a buoy hull and a mooring system, and a fatigue analysis of the linear cumulative damage. Based on the analysis results, a supplementary proposal for a wire rope that has a fracture in an actual mooring area was established.
