Sandwich injection molding is one of the remarkable polymer processes recently developed from conventional injection molding. But it is almost impossible to do theoretical investigation that we've researched it through numerical simulation. In this paper, numerical simulation on the study of sandwich injection molding is based on Finite Element Method and FAN/Control Volume method. In addition to conventional filling parameter that can confirm skin polymer melt front, new filling parameters have been introduced to confirm core polymer melt front advancement. These filling parameters are defined in each layer which is divided to solve temperature field along the thickness direction. One can notice different filling patterns resulted from the variation of material properties such as viscosities and power-law indexes, and processing conditions such as switch-over times and wall temperatures. It gives us a better understanding of the sandwich injection molding process. And we can recognize that it's the core polymer spatial distribution after the completion of filling that is the most important key point to use this process for industrial molding process.

Cracks found in pressure vessels have been reported to be mostly semi-elliptic surface cracks. The fatigue crack growth behaviour of the surface cracks on pressure vessel materials, SPV 50Q and API 5A-K55, was studied with the consideration of the crack opening character. To determine the crack opening loads for the surface cracks, the displacement/strain were measured at three positions; the center and the side of the surface crack, the back face of the specimen using CMOD gauge and strain gauges. The experimental results showed that the crack opening load levels measured at the side of the surface crack were generally a little higher than those measured at the back face. As for the crack growth rates at the different parts of the surface crack, the experiments also showed that, if .DELTA.K$_{eff}$ is used, the exponent n of the Paris' law obtained were the same for the rear and the side parts of the surface cracks.

We predict the rolled-strip profile for a 6-high mill using thin rolling theory and a numerical model. In the numerical model, we calculate the distributions of the contact pressures between the rolls and the rolling pressure between the strip and the work roll in the transverse direction using the geometric structure of the 6-high mill and the boundary conditions. We determine the distribution of the rolling pressure in the rolling direction via a thin-foil rolling model using Fleck's theory. We calculate the three-dimensional elastic deformation of the work roll using the pressures of the width and rolling directions. We then obtain the three-dimensional strip profile via the elastic deformation of the work roll during the rolling process. The profile is verified by a thin cold-rolling test and FE simulation.

In this paper, in order to evaluate the deformation characteristics of the hydrogen gas storage vessel(Type 1) when considering gas pressure, the VMS generated in the hydrogen gas storage vessel according to the notch shape of ISO 18119 was interpreted as a FEM(Finite Element Method). According to the analysis results, the maximum VMS generated in the longitudinal notch was higher than the transverse notch. In addition, the stress of the storage vessel was analyzed by the stress ratio, which is the yield strength ratio of the material to the VMS generated. According to the analysis results, in the case of a storage vessel with a notch formed in the longitudinal direction, the inside and outside of the storage vessel increased to 0.85 and 0.50 at a gas pressure of 50 MPa, respectively, but were analyzed to be lower than 1.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the thickness eccentricity on the collapse pressure of a subsea pipeline subjected to external pressure. The collapse behavior of the subsea pipeline containing initial imperfection was evaluated using elastic-plastic finite element (FE) analyses. API 5L X65 and API 5L X80 Pipelines with the thickness eccentricity values between 4~16% were adopted to investigate the plastic collapse under hydrostatic pressure. A parametric study was shown that the plastic collapse pressure decreased when either the thickness eccentricity or the ratio of diameter to thickness increased.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of through thickness on the mechanical properties and microstructural features in Mod. 9Cr-1Mo steels for RPVs. The microstructures at all locations were typically tempered martensite, but small amount of delta ferrite was observed at the center region. The prior austenite grain size increased with the depth from the surface. The yield strengths of center and 1/4T location were higher than that of surface by 30MPa. The impact toughness of center was low compared to those of other specimens. Also, upper shelf energy was low at the center. The toughness deterioration in center might be caused by larger size of the prior austenite grains and existence of the delta ferrite.

This paper is to investigate the combustion characteristics with a three dimensional chemical reacting flow on the aspect ratio of an exit configuration of the slit type nozzle for the fuel injection and to device the methods of combustion／mixing enhancement. The results show that both inside inflow and slit side vertices should be considered from a viewpoint of the mixing. The combustion efficiency becomes the smallest at aspect ratio, where the aspect ratio is less and more than unity, respectively. The total pressure loss becomes the largest at aspect ratio of unity due to the high penetration. All results imply that a streamwise very long slit is desirable with respect to the combustion and the pressure loss.

다중패커시스템은 격리된 어느 특정 구간의 지하수를 채수할 수 있으며 그 구간의 온도, 압력 등의 자료를 연속적으로 관측할 수 있어 이를 통해 각 구간별 수리전도도를 구할 수 있다. 심도별 수직적 지하수두는 지상에서 연결 롯드를 통해 압력 측정 센서를 해당 심도까지 내려 롯드에서 설치된 압력 측정용 장비에서 관측할 수 있으며, 다중패커시스템을 이용한 수리시험으로는 양수시험, 순간충격시험, 간섭시험 등이 있는데, 본 논문에서는 순간충격시험을 이용한 결과를 제시하였다. 도출된 구간별 수리전도도를 다중패커시스템을 설치하기 전 나공에서 이중 패커를 이용한 정압주입시험의 결과와 비교하여 보았다. 다중패커시스템을 통해 획득된 심도별 지하수두는 정수두 (hydro-static)상태의 일정한 경향성이 없이, 각 심도에 존재하는 투수성 구조에 영향을 보이고 있음을 알 수 있었으며, 이는 다수의 관측공을 통해 수평 방향의 수리경사를 산출함에 있어 관측공의 심도에 대한 충분한 고려가 있어야 한다고 판단된다. 또한, 다중패커시스템을 이용한 수리시험 결과를 나공 상태에서 이중 패커를 이용한 정압주입시험 결과에 대해 심도별 도출되는 수리전도도가 국지적으로 분포하는 투수성 구조에 영향으로 인해 투수량계수 (transmissivity)로 환산한 유효 투수계수로 비교하여 결정질 암반의 수리 특성으로 제안하는 것이 타당한 것으로 분석되었다.

중수로 원자로에서 핵심 구조물인 압력관은 합금이 사용되고 있는데, 고온, 고압의 방사선 분위기에서 사용되기 때문에 가동중 변형을 받는다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 압력관의 건전성 평가기술을 확보하기 위하여 Zr-2.5wt.% Nb 압력관의 집합조직과 온도 변화에 따른 강도 특성을 조사하였다. 집합조직의 변화는 시편의 채취방향을 달리하여 네 가지의 집합조직 변화를 주었으며, 이들 시편에 대해 상온에서 부터 45$0^{\circ}C$까지 온도를 변화시가면서 인장시험을 실시하였다. 온도가 증가함에 따라 시편의 집합조직과 관계없이 네 종류의 시편 모두가 30$0^{\circ}C$까지는 강도가 직선적으로 감소하는 현상을 보이며, 30$0^{\circ}C$에서 37$0^{\circ}C$ 사이의 온도에서 강도가 약간 증가하는 현상을 보였다. 또한 37$0^{\circ}C$이상의 온도에서는 강도가 다시 직선적으로 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 이 같은 현상은 30$0^{\circ}C$ 까지는 프리즘 슬림(-slip)으로 전위가 움직이다가 30$0^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서부터 37$0^{\circ}C$까지는 피라미드 슬림(-slip)계의 경쟁 상호작용에 의한 추가적인 응력이 필요하여 나타난 현상이라 사료된다. 온도의 변화에 따른 강도와 연신율의 curve에서 30$0^{\circ}C$와 37$0^{\circ}C$의 범위에서 plateaus region과 연신율이 최소값을 갖는 것은 동적변형시효(dynamic strain ageing)현상과 관련이 있는 것으로 생각되나 추가적인 연구가 필요하다. 집합도가 변함에 따라 인장강도는 T(transverse)>L(longitudinal)> 30。> 45 。순으로 나타났으며 이는 slip과 twin의 복합적인 작용에 의한 것으로 해석된다.

This paper presents experimental results of dynamic characteristics of fuel-rich gas generators. Pressure fluctuation measurements in the chamber and manifolds have been analyzed. Gas-generator-alone tests revealed stable combustion regardless of a chamber pressure but low-frequency combustion instabilities occurred for cases of turbine-manifold tests at chamber pressure conditions below 50 bar. The instabilities are considered as an axial resonant mode and acoustic intensity increases along with a chamber pressure.
