This paper provides the fully plastic J solutions for circumferential cracked pipes with inner, semi- elliptical surface cracks, subject to internal pressure and global bending. Solutions are given in the form of two different approaches, the GEF/EPRl approach and the reference stress approach. For the GE/EPRl approach, the plastic influence functions for fully plastic J are tabulated based on extensive 3-D FE calculations using the Ramberg-Osgood (R-O) materials, covering a wide range of pipe and crack geometries. The developed GEf/EPRl-type fully plastic J estimation equations are then re-formulated using the concept of the reference stress approach for wider applications. Based on the FE results, optimized reference load solutions for the definition of the reference stress are found for internal pressure and for global bending. Advantages of the reference stress based approach over the GE/EPRl-type approach are fully discussed. Validation of the proposed reference stress based J estimation equations will be given in Part II, based on 3-D elastic-plastic or elastic creep FE results using typical tensile properties of stainless steels and generalized creep- deformation behaviours.

In this paper, an exact analytical solution for simply supported sandwich plate which considers the permeation effect of adhesives is presented. The permeation layer is described as functionally graded material (FGM), the elastic modulus of which is assumed to be graded along the thickness following the exponential law. Based on the exact three-dimensional (3-D) elasticity theory, the solution of stresses and displacements for each layer is derived. By means of the recursive matrix method, the solution can be efficiently obtained for plates with many layers. The present solution obtained can be used as a benchmark to access other simplified solutions. The comparison study indicates that the finite element (FE) solution is close to the present one when the FGM layer in the FE model is divided into a series of homogeneous layers. However, the present method is more efficient than the FE method, with which the mesh division and computation are time-consuming. Moreover, the solution based on Kirchhoff-Love plate theory is greatly different from the present solution for thick plates. The influence of the thickness of the permeation layer on the stress and displacement fields of the sandwich plate is discussed in detail. It is indicated that the permeation layer can effectively relieve the discontinuity stress at the interface.

This research aims to simulate and investigate the efficiency of strengthening damaged concrete columns using concrete jacketing.The numerical program included unjacketed reference column made of ordinary RC concrete had a cross-sectional dimension of (100×100) mm and 560 mm long reinforced concrete. These cores were damaged by loading them with approximately 60% of their actual ultimate load capacities as a service load. Then, column specimens were strengthened by applying two types of self-compacting concrete SCC jacketing, which were 25 and 30 mm thick, on all four sides. Exposed to external loads at different directions vertically and horizontally simulate to the seismic load. The 3D Finite Element (FE) simulation is used to predict of three structural criteria that were selected and evaluated (deflection, stress, cracks). The results show that the failure of the strengthening columns is interesting and corresponds to the characteristics of the cracks formed in the concrete section,which was documented numerically using 3D Finite Element (FE). A significant improvement of deflection has been noted at the values at the top SECTION of columns compared to the reference sample reaching an average of up to 36.6% when using a 25 mm thick SCC-3500 jacket.

The package used to transport radioactive materials, which is called by the shipping cask, must be safe under normal and hypothetical accident conditions. These requirements for the cask design must be verified through test or finite element analysis. Since the cost for FE analysis is less than the one for test, the verification by FE analysis is mainly used. But due to the complexity of mechanical behaviors, the results depend on how users apply the codes and can cause severe errors during analysis. In this paper, finite element analysis is carried out for the 9 meters free drop condition of the hypothetical accident conditions using LS-DYNA3D and ABAQUS/Explicit. We have investigated the analyzing technique lot the free drop impact test of the cask and investigated several vulnerable cases. The analyzed results were compared with each other. We have suggested a reliable and relatively simple analysis technique for the drop test of spent nuclear fuel casks.

This study examines the role of the nano- and micro-particle ratio in dispersion stability and mechanical properties of composite resins for SLA(stereolithography) 3D printing technology. VTES(vinyltriethoxysilane)-coated $ZrO_2$ ceramic particles with different nano- and micro-particle ratios are prepared by a hydrolysis and condensation reaction and then dispersed in commercial photopolymer (High-temp) based on interpenetrating networks(IPNs). The coating characteristics of VTES-coated $ZrO_2$ particles are observed by FE-TEM and FT-IR. The rheological properties of VTES-coated $ZrO_2/High-temp$ composite solution with different particle ratios are investigated by rheometer, and the dispersion properties of the composite solution are confirmed by relaxation NMR and Turbiscan. The mechanical properties of 3D-printed objects are measured by a tensile test and nanoindenter. To investigate the aggregation and dispersion properties of VTES-coated $ZrO_2$ ceramic particles with different particle ratios, we observe the cross-sectional images of 3D printed objects using FE-SEM. The 3D printed objects of the composite solution with nano-particles of 80 % demonstrate improved mechanical characteristics.

압전세라믹 재료는 현재 압전 변압기, actuator, transducer, sensor, speaker 등에 광범위하게 이용이 되고 있다. 이 중에서 압전세라믹 소결체를 이용한 스피커의 제조는 가공이 까다롭고, 대형의 크기로 제작 시 소자가 깨지는 등의 많은 제약을 받고 있으며, 저음 특성이 떨어져 응용 범위가 한정되어 있다. 따라서 최근에는 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위하여 세라믹/고분자 복합체를 이용한 필름 스피커를 제작하고자 시도하고 있다. 이러한 세라믹/고분자 0-3형 압전 복합체를 이용할 경우, 제품의 경량화를 실현할 수 있고, 크기나 환경의 영향을 거의 받지 않으므로, 고기능성 스피커로의 응용에 적합할 것으로 보인다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 PZT계의 세라믹와 PVDF, PVDF-TrFE, Polyester, acrylic resin 등의 여러 고분자 물질과의 복합체를 제조하여 압전특성을 평가하였다. 본 실험은 먼저 $(Pb_{1-a-b}Ba_aCd_b)(Zr_xTi_{1-x})_{1-c-d}(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})_c(Zn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})_dO_3$ (이하 PZT라 표기)의 최적화 조성을 선택하여, $1050^{\circ}C$에서 소결된 분말을 48시간 ball milling방법 로 약 $1{\mu}m$ 크기로 분쇄하였다. 고분자 물질들은 알맞은 용제들을 선택하여 녹였다. 그 다음 소결된 PZT분말과 고분자를 50:50, 60:40, 65:35, 70:30등의 무게 분율로 혼합하고, 분산제, 소포제 등을 첨가하여 3단 roll mill을 이용하여 충분히 분산시켜 페이스트 (Paste)를 제조하였다. 제조된 페이스트를 ITO가 코팅된 PET필름 위에 스크린 프린팅 법을 사용하여 인쇄하여 $120^{\circ}C$에서 5분간 건조하였다. 코팅된 복합체의 두께는 약 $80{\mu}m$ 정도로 측정되었다. Ag 페이스트를 이용한 상부 전극 형성에도 스크린 프린팅 법을 적용하였다. 이를 $120^{\circ}C$에서 4 kV/mm의 DC 전계로 분극 공정을 수행한 후 전기적 특성을 평가하였다. 유전특성을 조사하기 위해서 LCR meter (EDC-1620)를 사용하였고, 시편의 결정구조는 XRD (Rigaku; D/MAX-2500H)을 통해 분석하였으며, 전자현미경(SEM)을 이용하여 미세구조를 분석하였다. 압전 전하상수$(d_{33})$ 값은 APC 8000 모델을 이용하여 측정하였다. PZT의 혼합비가 증가할수록 비유전율 및 압전 전하 상수 등의 전기적 특성이 증가되었다. 또 여러 고분자 물질 중에서 PVDF-TrFE 수지가 가장 우수한 특성을 보였다. 이는 PVDF-TrFE 수지가 압전성을 나타내기 때문인 것으로 판단되었다.

The sintering behavior and microwave properties of ferrite ($Ba_3Co_{2-2x}Zn_{2x}Fe_{24}O_{41}$ ceramics) were investigated for microwave applications. Also PIFA type antenna with ferrite was simulated. All samples were prepared by the solid state reaction method and sintered at $1350^{\circ}C$. All ceramics had relatively density above of 92% compare with theoretical density of $Ba_3Co_2Fe_{24}O_{41}$ ceramics. From the XRD pattens, the Z-type phase was existed as main phase in $Ba_3Co_{2-2x}Zn_{2x}Fe_{24}O_{41}$ ceramics. The permittivity and permeability of $Ba_3Co_{2-2x}Zn_{2x}Fe_{24}O_{41}$ ceramics were increased with Zn additions and decreased rapidly over frequency of 200~600 MHz. Several PIFA type antennas with ferrite and FR4 were simulated. All antenna structure had return loss of less than -10 dB at each resonant frequency. Simulated antenna using both ferrite and FR4 showed size reduction of 25% without a significant decrement of efficiency.

In Fe-3%Si steel, the hot rolling process affects not only the hot rolling texture but also the primary recrystallization texture. Here, the effect of asymmetric hot rolling was studied by comparing the difference in the texture evolved between asymmetric and symmetric hot rolling. The effect of asymmetric hot rolling on the texture of primary recrystallized Fe-3%Si steel was also studied. The symmetric hot rolling of Fe-3%Si steel produces a rotated cube texture at the center but Goss and copper textures near the surface. Asymmetric hot rolling tends to produce Goss and copper textures even at the center like the texture near the surface. After primary recrystallization, the dominant texture at the center changes from {001} <210> to {111} <112> and the new texture has a higher fraction of the grains which make the low energy boundary with Goss grains than that of symmetric hot rolling.

$Mg_xNi_yZn_{1-x-y}Fe_2O_4$ ferrite powders were prepared by self-propagating high temperature synthesis followed by classifying with an ultrasonic wet-magnetic separation unit to get high pure nano-sized particles. The $Mg_xNi_yZn_{1-x-y}Fe_2O_4$ ferrites were well formed by using several powders like iron, nickel oxide, zinc oxide and magnesium oxide at 0.1 MPa of oxygen pressure. The ultrasonic wet-magnetic separation of pre-mechanical milled ferrite powders resulted in producing the powders with average size of 800 nm. The addition of a surfactant during the wet-magnetic separation process improved productivity more than twice. The coercive force, maximum magnetization and residual magnetization of the $Mg_xNi_yZn_{1-x-y}Fe_2O_4$ nano-powders with 800 nm size were 3651 A/m, $53.92Am^2/kg$ and $4.0Am^2/kg$, respectively.

Microstructure and magnetization behaviors of $MnBi/Fe_3B/Nd2_Fe_{14}B$ nanocomposite alloy have been investigated. It was found that the coercivity increased firstly and then decreased, and saturation magnetization decreased with the additon of MnBi alloy. The addition of 40 wt.% MnBi powder enhanced the coercivity from 192.8 kA/m to 311.2 kA/m. The ${\delta}M$ and D(H)-H plots suggested the occurrence of a stronger exchange-coupling occurring between the hard and soft magnetic phase for this sample. The dependence of coercivity with temperature was discussed in 40 wt.% $Mn_{55}Bi_{45}$/ 60 wt.% $Nd_{4.5}Fe_{76.5}Nb_{0.5}B_{18.5}$ alloy powder, and a positive temperature coefficient was founded from 298 K to 350 K.
