The objective of this paper is to develop a logical procedure to determine the center roller displacement, in the three-roll bending process, which is required in the fabrication of curved rectangular plates with a desired curvature. To this end, the mechanics of the process was analyzed by both analytical and finite element approaches. Comparisons of the results reveal that a simple analytical procedure, based on the beam theory, yields a reasonably accurate relationship between the center roller displacement and residual curvature. With further development and refinement, the proposed in this work has great premise for practical application, particularly automation of the process.

A gas-chromatographic determination method of thiamin which use a quantitative cleavage of thiamin to 4-methyl-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)thiazol [I] and solvent extraction of the analyte prior to GC injection was modified. A column chromatographic procedure using a reversed phase, high capacity solid phase cartridge was applied to the clean-up of the analyte. Thiazol derivative[I] was quantitatively recovered upon the column method. Acetanilide, an internal standard, has a good recovery through the analytical procedure. The method has analytical precision of 2% or less in the coefficient of variation.

This paper investigates the pseudo-static analysis of reinforced slopes with geosynthetics under the influence of the uniform surcharge to evaluate the maximum tensile force of reinforcements. The analytical approach has basically been used to develop the new practical procedure to estimate both tensile force and its distribution in the height of the slope. The base of developed relationships has been adapted from the conventional horizontal slice method. The limit equilibrium framework and the assumptions of log-spiral failure surface have directly been used for proposed analytical approach. A new analytical approach considering a single layer of non-cohesion soil and the influence of uniform surcharge has been extracted from the 5n equation and 5n unknown parameters. Results of the proposed method illustrated that the location of the surcharge, amount of internal friction and the seismic coefficient have the remarkable effect on the tensile force of reinforcement and might be 2 times increasing on it. Furthermore, outcomes show that the amount of tensile force has directly until 2 times related to the amount of slope angle and its height range. Likewise, it is observed that the highest value of the tensile force in case of slope degree more than 60-degree is observed on the lower layers. While in case of less degree the highest amount of tensile force has been reported on the middle layers and extremely depended to the seismic coefficient. Hence, it has been shown that the tensile force has increased more than 6 times compared with the static condition. The obtained results of the developed procedure were compared with the outcomes of the previous research. A good agreement has been illustrated between the amount results of developed relationships and outcomes of previous research. Maximum 20 and 25 percent difference have been reported in cases of static and seismic condition respectively.

To determine the contents of $^{99}Tc$ in the spent PWR (pressurized water reactor) nuclear fuels by ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry), a technetium separation method using an extraction chromatographic resin (TEVA Spec resin) has been established. $^{99}Tc$ was separated from a spent PWR nuclear fuel solution by this separation procedure and its concentration was determined by ICP-MS. The result agrees well with the value calculated by the program ORIGEN 2 and also the value measured by AG MP-1 resin/ICP-MS method described in our previous paper. It can be concluded that the present separation procedure is superior to the AG MP-1 resin procedure with respect to the time required for technetium separation as well as the efficiency of decontamination from other radioactive nuclides.

Plastic mechanism analysis of structures subjected to large deformation has long been used in order to determine collapse mechanisms of steel structures, and the energy absorbed in plastic deformation during such collapses. In this paper the technique is applied to vehicle roof structures that undergo large plastic deformation as a result of rollover crashes. The components of such roof structures are typically steel spot-welded hat-type sections. Ten different deformation mechanisms are defined from investigations of real-world rollover crashes, and an analytical technique to determine the plastic collapse load and energy absorption of such mechanisms is determined. The procedure is presented in a generic manner, such that it may be applied to any vehicle structure undergoing a rollover induced collapse. The procedure is applied to an exemplar vehicle, in order to demonstrate its application in determining the energy absorbed in the deformation of the identified collapse mechanisms. The procedure will be useful to forensic crash reconstructionists, in order to accurately determine the initial travel velocity of a vehicle that has undergone a rollover and for which the post-crash vehicle deformation is known. It may also be used to perform analytical studies of the collapse resistance of vehicle roof structures for optimisation purposes, which is also demonstrated with an analysis of the effect of varying the geometric and material properties of the roof structure components of the exemplar vehicle.

P-${\Delta}$ analysis by use of the equivalent colurnn stiffness determined by Momcnt curvature-Thrust curves provides relatively precise analytical results for unbraced reinforced concrete columns, however it needs a complicated arialytical procedure. Equ~valent col~rnn stiffness equations are proposed for a simple analytical procedure which are ckterrnined by the Moment-Curvature Thrust curves of the practically useable sections. Thc proposed stiffness equations are appiled to P-${\Delta}$ analysis and rnornent magnifier method to compare with the selected test result. Use of the proposed stiffness equations may slrnplify the P-${\Delta}$ i.rialvtica1 procedure and improve the accuracy of moment magnifier niethod.

A new method based on the chemical reaction has been devised for the sequential analysis of reducing oligosaccharides using 8-amino-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid (ANS), a fluorescent precolumn derivatization reagent for reducing saccharides. The procedure established includes 1) the derivatization of a reducing oligosaccharide to produce a Schiff base, 2) the reduction of the base with sodium cyanoborohydride $(NaBH_3/CN), 3)$ the methoxycarbonylation of the resultant secondary amino group, 4) the cleavage of the glycoside bond next to the reducing end, based on the intramolecular acid hydrolysis by the action of a sulfonic acid group of the ANS derivative, 5) the identification of the liberated reducing end by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and finally 6) the recovery of the resultant oligosaccharide fragment from the cleavage reaction mixture. The extensive examination of the conditions for the sequential analysis of reducing oligosaccharides resulted in the procedure of simplicity , high selectivity and high recovery. This procedure was found to be useful for the sequential analysis of di-, tri- and tetrasaccharides.

In the present study an analytical modeling was carried out to predict mobilized shear strength at the interface between the nail and surrounding soils by carefully examining the behavior characteristics of nailed boil excavated walls. Based on the developed model of mobilized shear strength, the method of overall stability analysis of nailed -soil walls was also developed using the Morgentern -Price limit -equilibrium slice method. The developed analytical procedure could predict the behaviors of nailed -soil excavated walls during the successive excavation stages, at the final stage of construction and post -construction stages. To verify the validity of the developed model and method of stability analysis, mobilized tensile forces of nails and overal stability estimated by the developed procedure were compared with test measurements from three nailed -soil experimental walls having different soil conditions. The effect of seepage pressures inside the soil mass was considered in the developed procedure.

Concrete-filled steel tubes are among the most efficient compressive structural members because the strength of the concrete is enhanced given that the surrounding steel tube confines the concrete laterally and the steel tube is restrained with regard to inward deformation due to the concrete existing inside. Accurate estimations of the ultimate compressive strength of CFT are important for efficient designs of CFT members. In this study, an analytical procedure that directly formulates the interaction between the concrete and steel tube by considering the nonlinear Poisson effect and stress-strain curve of the concrete including the confinement effect is proposed. The failure stress of concrete and von-Mises failure yield criterion of steel were used to consider multi-dimensional stresses. To verify the prediction capabilities of the proposed analytical procedure, 99 circular CFT experimental data instances from other studies were used for a comparison with AISC, Eurocode 4, and other researchers' predictions. From the comparison, it was revealed that the proposed procedure more accurately predicted the ultimate compressive strength of a circular CFT regardless of the range of the design variables, in this case the concrete compressive strength, yield strength of the steel tube and diameter relative to the thickness ratio of the tube.

The planning procedure of a transit operation consists of design, operation, and evaluation according to the research characteristics. There are some review studies on the operation and evaluation procedure, but the research on the design procedure has not yet been organized systematically. In this study, the research on transit system design was reviewed and the model structure and its solution method were arranged. The decision variables of the design procedure are network structure, line spacing or position, stop spacing, dispatching headway, and fleet size. In the analytical research on design procedure, system total cost is generally used as the objective function. System total cost is comprised of user cost, which is the sum of user access, waiting, and travel cost, and operating cost. Total cost of the transit system, used as the objective function, has the unique minimum because it is differentiable. There is a certain decision variable that makes the derivative of the objective function equal to zero and the second derivative of the objective function is positive. Therefore the decision variable that makes the first derivative of the objective function zero is the optimum that minimizes the objective function, and each of the cost components of the objective function become the same. This study is expected to help understanding about the research on the design procedure of transit operation planning and to help be a catalyst for relevant research.
