Linepipe steels with a low carbon acicular ferrite microstructure have been recently developed to accommodate the current transportation condition of the gas and oil industry, and they are finally applied to West- East pipeline project in China. By adopting acicular microstructure, both better formability and better toughness could be obtained due to low yield ratio and fine grained microstructure. Mechanical properties of pipe are not greatly different from those of base plates or hot coils with a microstructure of acicular ferrite. Merits of introducing higher strength steels are well known, i.e., reducing the gauge of pipe and the material cost, increasing the welding speed and decreasing construction cost because of reducing the construction period. Threfore, gas and oil industry has required higher strength steel than APIX70 grade steel. Under this background, API-X80 steel has been developed and shall be applied to the several projects. In this paper, developing stage of API-X80 steel is also presented and discussed.

The purpose of this project is to research and development of thin film supercapacitor with conducting polymer composite electrodes and polymer electrolyte which have high energy density for thin film supercapacitor. We investigated cyclic voltammetry and charge/discharge cycling of PFPT-flyash electrodes. The first discharge capacity of PFPT-flyash electrode with 40wt.% flyash was 24F/g, while that of PFPT-VOflyash electrode with 40wt.% VOflyash was 32F/g. The capacitance of PFPT-VOflyash composite film with polymer electrolyte was 32 F/g at 1st and 20th cycle, respectively. The capacitance of PFPT-VOflyash/Li cell with 40 wt% VOflyash was 141 F/g at 8th cycle.

The project focuses on the dynamic analysis of concrete beams reinforced with silica-nanoparticles under blast loading. The structure is located at two boundary conditions. The equivalent composite properties are determined using Mori-Tanak model. The structure is simulated with sinusoidal shear deformation theory. Employing nonlinear strains-displacements, stress-strain, the energy equations of beam were obtained and using Hamilton's principal, the governing equations were derived. Using differential quadrature methods (DQM) and Newmark method, the dynamic deflection of the structure is obtained. The influences of volume percent and agglomeration of silica nanoparticles, geometrical parameters of beam, boundary condition and blast load on the dynamic deflection were investigated. Results showed that with increasing volume percent of silica nanoparticles, the dynamic deflection decreases.

In this project, buckling response of polymeric plates reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and coated by magnetostrictive layer was studied. The equivalent nanocomposite properties are determined using Mori-Tanak model considering agglomeration effects. The structure is simulated with first order shear deformation theory (FSDT). Employing strains-displacements, stress-strain, the energy equations of the structure are obtained. Using Hamilton's principal, the governing equations are derived considering the coupling of mechanical displacements and magnetic field. Using Navier method, the buckling load of the sandwich structure is obtained. The influences of volume percent and agglomeration of CNTs, geometrical parameters and magnetic field on the buckling load are investigated. Results show that with increasing volume percent of CNTs, the buckling load increases. In addition, applying magnetic field, increases the frequency of the sandwich structure.

In the context of classic conical shell formulation, nonlinear forced vibration analysis of truncated conical shells and annular plates made of multi-scale epoxy/CNT/fiberglass composites has been presented. The composite material is reinforced by carbon nanotube (CNT) and also fiberglass for which the material properties are defined according to a 3D Mori-Tanaka micromechanical scheme. By utilizing the Jacobi elliptic functions, the frequency-deflection curves of truncated conical shells and annular plates related to their forced vibrations have been derived. The main focus is to study the influences of CNT amount, fiberglass volume, open angle, fiber angle, truncated distance and force magnitude on forced vibrational behaviors of multi-scale truncated conical shells and annular plates.

This paper presents the procedure and the results of modal identification testing of a seismic monitoring system central processing unit cabinet for a nuclear power plant. This paper also provides a model updating for making effective analytical modeling of cabinet-type electrical equipment by comparing the test results with the analysis results. From the test results and their interpretation, modal properties (modal frequency, mode shape, and modal damping) of the specimen were satisfactorily identified. However, the analysis results may need to study further to find the effective and presentative model for the cabinet-type electrical equipment. This paper just presents the first stage of the research project "Development of dynamic behavior analysis technique of dynamic structure system" which is trying to build the lumped mass beam stick model even their results do not agree well with the test results.

In this study, the characteristics of single-component and other sealant were analyzed to provide repair methods and effective utilization of sealant due to crack generation. Humidity studies have shown that acrylic silicone is effective in many areas of fluidity and temperature change, and that polysulfide-silicon is most effective in resistance to linear expansion coefficient and external pressure. Therefore, the difference between drying shrinkage and thermal expansion coefficient between various building materials and sealant, as well as the use of sealant, is analyzed, and construction methods derived accordingly, and prevention of defects are considered to be part of the construction project.

A multi-scale epoxy/CNT/fiberglass annular sector plate is studied in this paper in the view of determining nonlinear forced vibration characteristics. A 3D Mori-Tanaka model is employed for evaluating multi-scale material properties. Thus, all of glass fibers are assumed to have uni-direction alignment and CNTs have random diffusion. The geometry of annular sector plate can be described based on the open angle and the value of inner/outer radius. In order to solve governing equations and derive exact forced vibration curves for the multi-scale annular sector, Jacobi elliptic functions are used. Obtained results demonstrate the significance of CNT distribution, geometric nonlinearity, applied force, fiberglass volume, open angle and fiber directions on forced vibration characteristics of multi-scale annular sector plates.

Electrical properties of $ZrO_2-TiO_2Yb_2O_3$mixed conductor (Ti-YbSZ) were investigated. This mixed conductor can be applied as a membrane for gas separation at high temperatures. The total conductivity decreased with increasing the $TiO_2$concentration. At high temperatures, the rate of the conductivity degradation became smaller than that at low temperatures. From the oxygen partial pressure dependence of the total conductivity of Ti-YbSZ, the electronic conductivity increased with increasing $TiO_2$concentration at low oxygen partial pressures and at high temperatures. Both 15 and 20 mol% $TiO_2$doped YbSZ showed high oxygen permeability. Mixed conductors, which has high $TiO_2$concentration in YbSZ, are promising materials for using as a membrane for gas separation at high temperatures.

Research in the Center for Pediatric Auditory and Speech Sciences (CPASS) is attempting to characterize or phenotype children with speech delays based on acoustic-phonetic evidence and relate those phenotypes to chromosome loci believed to be related to language and speech. To achieve this goal we have adopted a highly interdisciplinary approach that merges fields as diverse as automatic speech recognition, human genetics, neuroscience, epidemiology, and speech-language pathology. In this presentation I will trace the background of this project, and the rationale for our approach. Analyses based on a large amount of speech recorded from 18 children with speech delays will be presented to illustrate the approach we will be taking to characterize the acoustic phonetic properties of disordered speech in young children. The ultimate goal of our work is to develop non-invasive and objective measures of speech development that can be used to better identify which children with apparent speech delays are most in need of, or would receive the most benefit from the delivery of therapeutic services.
