The heat transfer and thermal stress-distribution were numerically determined by using the finite element method for a butt-welded pipe. A mechanical stress relieving(MSR) treatment which has been frequently used in the fabrication of pressure vessels instead of the post weld heat treatment (PWHT) was also simulated to investigate its effect of reducing the residual stress in the welded zone by a mechanical loading.

Objective: The aim of this study is to review the job stress measurement for applying in nuclear power plants(NPPs). Background: The standard and guideline to evaluate and manage the job stress is insufficient in NPPs. Although job stress might have a negative effect on task performance particularly it can be related with human error in NPPs. Method/Results: This paper considered the objective and subjective stress measurements. One of the questionnaire(Korean Occupational Stress Scale) and the experiment method was investigated to apply in NPPs. KOSS was analyzed about the inter item consistency and correlation with the workload, and relative importance. In the objective evaluation considered the experiment method for the physical and mental job stress and analyzed from the phased point of view. Conclusion/Application: The measurement and criteria to evaluate job stress for operators must be complemented on the job characters and environments in NPPs. This study may support to confirm and manage the job stress in NPPs. The study of more specific methodology on job stress in NPPs is required on the basis of this paper.

When the interfacial crack of two dissimilar isotropic bi-materials is propagated with constant velocity along the interface, stress and displacement components are derived in this research. The dynamic photoelastic experimental hybrid method for bimaterial is introduced. It is assured that stress components and dynamic photoelastic hybrid method developed in this research are valid. Separating method of stress component is introduced from only dynamic photoelastic fringe patterns. Crack propagating velocity of interfacial crack is 80∼85% (in case of aluminum, 24.3∼25.9%) of Rayleigh wave velocity of epoxy resin. The near-field stress components of crack-tip are similar with those of pure isotropic material under static or dynamic loading, but very near-field stress components of crack-tip are different from those.

Fatigue design and evaluation of welded joints are typically carried out by weld classification approach in which a family (theoretically infinite) of parallel nominal stress based S-N curves are used according to joint types and loading modes as well as extrapolation-based hot spot stress. Traditional finite element methods are not capable of consistently capturing the stress concentration effects on fatigue behavior due to their mesh-sensitivity in stress determination at welds resulted from notch stress singularity. The extrapolated hot spot stresses tend vary, depending on the element sizes, types, joint types, and loading mode. however, the equilibrium-equivalent structural stress method(E2S2) has been recently developed through several joint industry projects as a robust method to analyze welded components using finite element analysis. This method has been proven effective in correlating a large amount of published fatigue test results in the literature such as master S-N curve and has used for evaluating the fatigue life of welding components. In this study, fatigue analysis of the welding bogie frame is examined using E2S2 method with master S-N curve.

The behaviors of saturated soils such as compressibility and permeability are distinguished by preconsolidation stress. Preconsolidation stress becomes an important design parameter in geotechnical structures. The goal of this study is to introduce a new method for the evaluation of preconsolidation stress based on the shear wave velocity at small strain, using Busan, Incheon, and Gwangyang clays in Korea. Standard consolidation tests are conducted by using an oedometer cell equipped with bender elements. The preconsolidation stresses estimated by shear wave velocity are compared with those evaluated by the Casagrande, constrained modulus, work, and logarithmic methods. The preconsolidation stresses estimated by the shear wave velocity produce very similar values to those evaluated by the Onitsuka method (one of the logarithmic methods), which yields an almost real preconsolidation stress. This study shows that the shear wave velocity method provides a reliable method for evaluating preconsolidation stress and can be used as a complementary method.

While designing shafting in reciprocating machines with internal combustion engines which derive generators, pumps, and vehicles, it is very important to calculate the additional stress of shafting by torsional vibration. In this paper, the transfer stiffness coefficient method which is based on the successive transfer of stiffness coefficient was applied to the calculation of the additional stress of shafting in reciprocating machine by torsional vibration. In order to confirm the effectiveness of the present method, a propulsion shafting with a diesel engine in a vessel was considered as the computational example of shafting in reciprocating machine. The results calculated by the present method were compared with those of the modal analysis method, the mechanical impedance method, and free vibration analysis.

Recently, the cases of using bonded dissimiliar materials which have each of the different components tend to increase for the purpose of developing new materials and using the special objects in the field of industry. Among the cases the strength evaluation of the joining materials of vehicle engine and the structural materials with ceramic/metal bonded joints becomes more important. But the residual stress occurs, because the joining of ceramics and metals is performed in extremely high temperature. It becomes a dominant cause to reduce the strength of the ceramic/metal bonded joints. In this paper, strength evaluation method of ceramic/metal bonded joints considering stress singularity was investigated by boundary element method and 4-point bending test. An advanced method of quantitative strength evaluation for ceramin/metal bonded joints is to be suggested.

The application of bonded dissimilar materials to industries as automobiles, aircraft, rolling stocks, electronic devices and engineering structures is increasing gradually because these materials, compared to the homogeneous materials, have many advantages for material properties. In spite of such wide applications of bonded dissimilar materials, the evaluation method of quantitative strength considering the stress singularities for its bonded interface has not been established clearly. In this paper, the stress singularity for Bctors and the stress intensity factors were analyzed by boundary element method(BEM) for the scarf joints of Al/Epoxy with and without a crack, respectively. From static fracture experiments of the bonded scarf joints, a fracture criterion and a evaluation method of interface strength in bonded dissimilar materials were proposed and discussed.

In this study, a method for estimating the effective stress of clays using in-situ penetration test(PCPT) result is proposed. The proposed method is based on a correlation between the PCPT results and strength increment ratio. According to proposed method, no additional testing procedure for collecting undisturbed soil sample is required, which can reduce overall testing cost. To verify this method, for analysis, various analytical solutions were adopted and used. Measured and predicted effective stress are compared on the test results. The verification sites consist of a variety of soil condition. From comparison, it is seen that predicted value of effective stress using the propose method match well those from measured results.

Simulation programs have been developed and used as an attempt to improve the accuracy of Non-Destructive Evaluation(NDE) techniques. The applicability of these programs is very limited, however, because it is difficult to describe the delicacy of the propagation of stress waves. To investigate the applicability of the finite element analysis for stress wave-based NDE techniques numerical simulation for Impact-Echo method and SASW method is performed. The numerical studies are performed to determine the essential parameters such as contact time of impact load, mesh size and time step size. These studies show that the choice of parameter is very important for improving the accuracy and confidence of the numerical procedure and, thereby, the applicability of the numerical analysis for stress wave-based NDE techniques
