Acoustic radiation efficiency is a crucial factor to estimate Underwater Radiated Noise (URN) of ships accurately. This paper describes a numerical method to analyse acoustic radiation efficiency of one side-wetted rectangular Mindlin plate with simply supported boundaries excited by a harmonic point force. Transverse displacements of plate and acoustic radiation pressures are evaluated by the mode superposition method. The acoustic radiation efficiencies analyzed by both Mindlin and thin plate theories show little differences at monopole and corner modes of low frequency regions but relatively large differences at edge and critical modes of high frequency regions. Especially, the critical frequency with the highest acoustic radiation efficiency evaluated by the Mindlin plate theory is higher than that of thin plate theory. In addition, the acoustic loading effect of fluid also increases bending wave-number of plate and its critical frequency. Finally, the acoustic radiation characteristics of plates with different aspect ratios and thicknesses through numerical analyses are investigated and discussed.

In the Nordic grid, a trend observed the recent years is the increase in grid frequency variations, which means the frequency is outside the normal range (49.9-50.1 Hz) more often. Variations in the grid frequency leads to changes in the speed of rotation of all the turbines connected to the grid, since the speed of rotation is closely related to the grid frequency for synchronous generators. When the speed of rotation changes, this implies that the net torque acting on the rotating masses are changed, and the material of the turbine runners must withstand these changes in torque. Frequency variations thus leads to torque oscillations in the turbine, which become dynamical loads that the runner must be able to withstand. Several new Francis runners have recently experienced cracks in the runner blades due to fatigue, obviously due to the runner design not taking into account the actual loads on the runner. In this paper, the torque oscillations and dynamic loads due to the variations in grid frequency are simulated in a 1D MATLAB program, and measured grid frequency is used as input to the simulation program. The maximum increase and decrease in the grid frequency over a 440 seconds interval have been investigated, in addition to an extreme event where the frequency decreased far below the normal range within a few seconds. The dynamic loading originating from grid frequency variations is qualitatively found by a constructed variable $T_{stress}$, and for the simulations presented here the variations in $T_{stress}$ are found to be around 3 % of the mean value, which is a relatively small dynamic load. The important thing to remember is that these dynamic loads come in addition to all other dynamic loads, like rotor-stator interaction and draft tube surges, and should be included in the design process, if not found to be negligible.

Triaxial compression creep tests were performed on salt rock samples using cyclic confining pressure with a static axial pressure. The test results show that, up to a certain time, changes in the confining pressure have little influence on creep properties of salt rock, and the axial creep curve is smooth. After this point, the axial creep curve clearly fluctuates with the confining pressure, and is approximately a straight line both when the confining pressure decreases and when it increases within one cycle period. The slope of these lines differs: it is greater when the confining pressure decreases than when it increases. In accordance with rheology model theory, axial creep equations were deduced for Maxwell and Kelvin models under cyclic loading. These were combined to establish an axial creep equation for the Burgers model. We supposed that damage evolution follows an exponential law during creep process and replaced the apparent stress in creep equation for the Burgers model with the effective stress, the axial creep damage equation for the Burgers model was obtained. The model suitability was verified using creep test results for salt rock. The fitting curves are in excellent agreement with the test curves, so the proposed model can well reflect the creep behavior of salt rock under low-frequency cyclic loading. In particular, it reflects the fluctuations in creep deformation and creep rate as the confining pressure increasing and decreasing under different cycle periods.

점성토의 변형특성을 연구하기 위하여 공진주(RC)시험과 비틀전단(75)시험을 저변형률 및 중간 변형률하에서 실시하여 변형률의 크기,진동주파수,하중반복회수의 영향을 살펴보았다. 소 성지수가 이들의 영향을 평가하는데 중요한 변수임을 알 수 있었다. 실험에 사용된 시료로는 불 교란 실트 및 점토와 실험실에서 다져진 노상토를 사용하였다. 선형한계변형률이하에서 전단탄 성계수는 하중반복회수와 변형률의 크기에 영향을 받지 않았으며, RC시험에서 얻은 최소감소비가 1.1%에서 1.7%영역에서 존재하였다. 점성토의 선형한계변형률은 구속압과 소성지수에 따라 증가하였으며 사질토와 비교하여 넘은 선형영역을 보였다. 반복한계변형률이상의 변형률하에서는 전단탄성계수는 하중반복회수에 따라 감소하였지만 감쇠비는 영향을 받지 않았다. 진동주파수의 영향에 의해 RC시험에서 얻은 점성토의 전단탄성계수와 감쇠비는 RC시험결과보다 컸다. 전단탄성계수는 진동주파수의 대수증가에 따라 선형적으로 증가하였고 감쇠비의 경우 2Hz이하의 저주파수영역에서는 영향을 받지 않았다.

SA508 Cl.3 원자로 압력용기강에서 하중변수와 온도가 공기 중에서 피로 균열성장률에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. 피로 균열성장률 시험은 12.7mm 두께의 CT(compact tension) 시편을 이용하였으며, 균열길이 추정은 컴플라이언스 방법을 사용하였다. 시험은 0.1, 0.5 하중비와 1, 10Hz의 하중주파수로 상온에서 40$0^{\circ}C$ 까지 온도를 변화시키면서 수행하였다. 12$0^{\circ}C$ 이하의 비교적 낮은 온도에서는 피로균열전파속도는 하중주파수와 온도에 영향을 받지 않았지만, 12$0^{\circ}C$이상의 경우 피로 균열성장률은 온도가 높을수록, 하중주파수가 낮을수록 증가하였다. 이러한 피로균열진전속도의 빨라짐은 균열선단에서의 산화속도의 증가로 인한것으로 생각된다. 또한 하중비의 영향으로 균열닫힘과 산화의 상호작용으로 피로 균열성장률은 상온에서 두드러졌다.

A new layered shear continuum model box was developed to address the dynamic response issues of buried oil and gas pipelines under multi-point excitation. Vibration table tests were conducted to investigate the seismic response of buried pipelines and the surrounding soil under longitudinal multi-point excitation. A nonlinear model of the pipeline-soil interaction was established using ABAQUS finite element software for simulation and analysis. The seismic response characteristics of the pipeline and soil under longitudinal multi-point excitation were clarified through vibration table tests and simulation. The results showed good consistency between the simulation and tests. The acceleration of the soil and pipeline exhibited amplification effects at loading levels of 0.1 g and 0.2 g, which significantly reduced at loading levels of 0.4 g and 0.62 g. The peak acceleration increased with increasing loading levels, and the peak frequency was in the low-frequency range of 0 Hz to 10 Hz. The amplitude in the frequency range of 10 Hz to 50 Hz showed a significant decreasing trend. The displacement peak curve of the soil increased with the loading level, and the nonlinearity of the soil resulted in a slower growth rate of displacement. The strain curve of the pipeline exhibited a parabolic shape, with the strain in the middle of the pipeline about 3 to 3.5 times larger than that on both sides. This study provides an effective theoretical basis and test basis for improving the seismic resistance of buried oil and gas pipelines.

This paper intends to investigate such effects through experiments. The contents of the investigation are effects of position of repeated loading and unloading, passing frequency. For the purpose of the investigation an experimental load-deflection system is developed and the system is possible to measure deflection of the wall and earth pressure due to different size of strip loading and cyclic loading. The findings from the experiments are as follows: 1. As repeated loading approaches to the wall, the measured horizontal residual earth pressure agrees well with Rowe's empirical formula, while as the loading is far from the wall the earth pressure consists with Boussinesq's and Spangler's formulas. Also it is found that below 0.6m depth from ground surface the effects of repeated loading can be nearly neglected. 2. From comparison analyses of earth pressure theories and experimental results, a reagression equation is suggested herein, and earth pressure at any depth and maximum earth pressure due to cyclic loading can be estimated from the equation.

We consider problems of tool loading and scheduling in a flexible manufacturing system (FMS) in which tool transportation constitutes the major portion of material flows. In this type of FMSs, parts are initially assigned to machines and released to the machines according to input sequencing rules. Operations for the parts released to the machines are performed by tools initially loaded onto the machines or provided by an automatic tool transport robot when needed. For an efficient operation of such systems, therefore, we may have to consider loading and scheduling problems for tools in addition to those for parts. In this paper, we consider three problems, part loading, tool loading, and tool scheduling problems with the overall objective of minimizing the makespan. The part loading problem is solved by a method similar to that for the bin packing problem and then a heuristic based on the frequency of tool usage is applied for tool loading. Also suggested are part input sequencing and tool scheduling rules. To show the effectiveness of the overall algorithm suggested here, we compare it with an existing algorithm through a series of computational tests on randomly generated test problems.

Under repeated loading, the residual stresses within the subgrade and subsoil can accelerate the deformation of the road structures. In this paper, a series of laboratory cyclic loading model tests and small-scale model tests were conducted to investigate the dynamic stress response within soils under different loading conditions. The experimental results showed that a dynamic stress accumulation effect occurred if the soil showed cumulative deformation: (1) the residual stress increased and accumulated with an increasing number of loading cycles, and (2) the residual stress was superimposed on the stress response of the subsequent loading cycles, inducing a greater peak stress response. There are two conditions that must be met for the dynamic stress accumulation effect to occur. A threshold state exists only if the external load exceeds the cyclic threshold stress. Then, the stress accumulation effect occurs. A higher loading frequency results in a higher rate of increase for the residual stress. In addition to the superposition of the increasing residual stress, soil densification might contribute to the increasing peak stress during cyclic loading. An increase in soil stiffness and a decrease in dissipative energy induce a greater stress transmission within the material.

A dynamic fatigue characteristic of dental implant system has been evaluated with applying single axial compressive shear loading based on the ISO 14801 standard. For the advanced dynamic fatigue test, multi-directional force and motion needed to be accompanied for more information of mechanical properties as based on mastication in oral environment. In this study, we have prepared loading and motion protocol for the multi-directional fatigue test of dental implant system with single (Apical/Occlusal; AO), and additional mastication motion (Lingual/Facial; LF, Mesial/Distal; MD). As following the prepared protocol (with modification of ISO 14801), fatigue test was conducted to verify the worst case results for the development of highly stabilized dental implant system. Mechanical testing was performed using an universal testing machine (MTS Bionix 858, MN, USA) for static compression and single directional loading fatigue, while the multi-directional loading was performed with joint simulator (ADL-Force 5, MA, USA) under load control. Basically, all mechanical test was performed according to the ISO 14801:2016 standard. Static compression test was performed to identify the maximum fracture force with loading speed of 1.0 mm/min. A dynamic fatigue test was performed with 40 % value of maximum fracture force and 5 Hz loading frequency. A single directional fatigue test was performed with only apical/occlusal (AO) force application, while multi directional fatigue tests were applied $2^{\circ}$ of facial/lingual (FL) or mesial/distal (MD) movement. Fatigue failure cycles were entirely different between applying single-directional loading and multi-directional loading. As a comparison of these loading factor, the failure cycle was around 5 times lower than single-directional loading while applied multi-directional loading. Also, the displacement change with accumulated multi-directional fatigue cycles was higher than that of single directional cycles.
