Repetition Strain Injury (RSI) is usually caused or aggravated by poor work processes and unsuitable working conditions - that involve repetitive or forceful movements or the maintenance of constrained or awkward postures. The condition is characterized by discomfort and persistent pain. There are three essential steps to eliminate or control hazards In workplace. Case and Demographic Characteristics for Work-related Injuries and illnesses Involving Days Away From Work, 2002. U.S' was examined. Causes of press operators' RSI were carpal tunnel syndrome(CTS), tendonitis, low back pain, and occupational stress. Recommendations for improvement of productivity are redesign of working conditions, exercise, prevent of RSI and avoiding stress.

Solid polymers exhibit rate-dependent deformation behavior such as nonlinear strain rate sensitivity and stress relaxation like metallic materials. Despite the different microstructures of polymeric and metallic materials, they have common properties with respect to inelastic deformation. Unlike most metallic materials, solid polymers and shape memory alloys (SMAs) exhibit highly nonlinear stress-strain behavior upon unloading. The present work employs the viscoplasticity theory [K. Ho, 2011, Trans. Mater. Process. 20, 350-356] developed for the pseudoelastic behavior of SMAs, which is based on unified state variable theory for the rate-dependent inelastic deformation behavior of typical metallic materials, to depict the curved unloading behavior of polyphenylene oxide (PPO). The constitutive equations are characterized by the evolution laws of two state variables that are related to the elastic modulus and the back stress. The simulation results are compared with the experimental data obtained by Krempl and Khan [2003, Int. J. Plasticity 19, 1069-1095].

In this study, flexural strength by fiber reinforced for steel fiber and reinforced polyamide fiber concrete, and concrete fracture properties by improvement of flexural toughness and high-velocity projectile impact were evaluated. As a result, it was confirmed that flexural strength are improved by distribution of stress and suppress of cracks, and the back desquamation of concrete by high-velocity projectile impact is suppressed. In addition, It was observed that the spalling of rear is caused when tension stress is caused as shock wave by high-velocity projectile impact was transferred to the rear and tension stress is suppressed by fiber reinforcement.

This work is concerned with construction of the intelligence stress predictor far compression strength evaluation using neural network-ultrasonic waves. The contact pressure in jointed plates was measured by using ultrasonic technique. Neural network is used to evaluate and predict contact pressure from the results of the calibration curves. The organized neural system was leaned with the accuracy of 99%, as a result of learning the ultrasonic echo ratio to the contact pressure measurement between SM45C and STS410 materials. And it could be evaluated and predicted with the accuracy of 90% in the evaluation of ultrasonic echo ratio difference in the same surface roughness and contact pressure, and 85% in the prediction of virtual ultrasonic echo ratio. Thus the proposed stress predictor is very useful for the evaluation and prediction of the contact pressure between SM45C and STS410 materials.

It was observed that after unloading or removal of the load from the specimen subjected to bending stress, partial or full elastic spring back occurred and considerable stresses have resulted while plastic deformation was considered. ABAQUS is a suite of powerful engineering simulation programs, based on the finite element method. In this paper, it was used as the main tool to analyze elastic and plastic deformations of hi-material metal joint. In the case of elastic deformations, the results were comparable to the theoretical data. Plastic deformations and residual stresses of hi-material metal joint under bending moment were obtained by ABAQUS; where the theory needs to be studied and improved further to verify the results.

Firemen are directly exposed to various harmful chemicals, physical factors and mental stress during rescue and fire-fighting. In fire extinguishing, unstable posture, poisonous gas, dust, high temperature and heavy equipments are possible hazardous factors. The alertness for emergency, shift work, job strain and stress are also possibly hazardous. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence of musculo-skeletal symptoms and job stress and to determine risk factors in firemen. This study was carried out in a group of 226 firemen in Busan City, Korea. Standardized Nordic Questionnaire was used to investigate the prevalence of musculo-skeletal symptoms and Psycho-social Well-being Index (abbreviated PWI) was used to investigate the prevalence of job stress. General and occupational characteristics were included education, marital status, alcohol and smoking history, working duration, and work shift system. Body mass index (BMI) scores were calculated by physical examination including height and weight. Concerning musculo-skeletal complaints, the commonest site was neck, and shoulder, lower back, upper back were the next. Complaint site above one area of body was about 80%. From multiple logistic regression analysis, working duration was significant variable in musculo-skeletal symptoms. Odds ratio were 15.4 in working duration. About 16.8% was high risk stress group. From multiple logistic regression analysis, shift work and alcohol drinking were significant variables in PWI scores. Odds ratios were 2.25 in shift work. Accordingly, interventions are needed for health promotion of long term and shift worker.

Partial penetration welding joint defines the groove welds that applies the one side welding which does not use steel backing and both side welding without back gouging, that is, the partial penetration welding joint leaves an unwelded portion at the root of the welding area. In this study, we analyzed the residual stress and fracture on the thick metal plates that introduced the partial penetration welding method. As results of using above mentioned welding method, we could draw a conclusion that longitudinal stress and traverse stress occurred around the welding area was so minimal and did not affect any influence. We also performed the fracture behavior evaluation on the partial penetration multi-pass welding with 25.4mm thick plate by using theJ-integral, which finally led us the conclusion that the partial penetration multi -pass welding method is more applicable and effective in handling the root face with less than 6.35mm.

In this paper, we investigated the position-dependent stress distribution of indium-tin-oxide (ITO) film on Polycarbonate (PC) substrate by external bending force. It was found that there are the maximum crack density at the center position and decreasing crack density as goes to the edge. In accordance with crack distribution, it was observed that the change of electrical resistivity of ITO islands is maximum at the center and decrease as goes to the edge. From the result that crack density is increasing at same island position as face-plate distance (L) decreases, it is evident that the more stress is imposed on same island position as L decreases.

Environmental heat stress by global warming has a severe effect on the productivity of livestock and, in particular, on that of dairy cattle. Heat stress during high temperature environment directly and indirectly affects milk yield, milk quality and physiological response. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of heat stress on productivity and physiological responses of livestock. Temperature-humidity data logger were established inside the feedlot for measuring real time changes in the feedlot environment. Milk was collected every day for analysing the productivity of dairy cattle. Blood sample and respiration of dairy cattle were collected once in a week for investigating the physiological response factors. Blood component concentration associated with lipolysis metabolism and milk production showed change during tropical night period. Temperature humidity index (THI) of a specific location inside the feedlot showed continuously high levels.
