Polymer insulators are used widely in variable fields for high voltage insulation and separating people from high voltage charging parts for safety and also supporting overhead power line in electric railway. But it may be broken down by tracking path resulting from continuous surface discharge. This paper has investigated synthetically both the characteristics of electrical aging using precision CT(current transformer) and the thermal aging using thermography method. Electrical aging was analyzed for time-frequency region and thermal aging was illustrated by image processing method. This synthetic method may be an appropriate one to evaluate the surface degradation of polymer insulator.

The vertical roller mill is the important machine grinding and mixing various crude materials in the manufacturing process of portland cement. Table liner is one of grinding elements of vertical roller mill and is subjected to the cyclic bending stress by rollers load and the centrifugal force by rotation of table. It demands $4{\times}10^7$ cycle but has $4{\times}10^6{\sim}8{\times}10^6$ cycle. It fractures at the edge of grinding path of outside roller. The repair expense for it amounts to 30% of total maintenance of vertical roller mill. Therefore, this study shows the fracture mechanism of table liner for vertical roller mill using HDM and fatigue analysis

지반이 산업용 기름으로 오염될 때 지반의 강도변화 특성을 연구하기 위하여 모래와 실트질 모래 및 카오리나이트를 대상으로 함수비아 함유비를 변화시키며 다짐실험, 투수실험, 비배수상태에서 삼축압축실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과에 의하면 밀도가 같은 모래의 경우는 기름을 혼합하였을 경우가 물을 혼합하였을 경우에 비해 약 7%정도 전단 강도가 떨어지고 실트질 모래와 카오리나이트 경우는 기름을 혼합하였을 경우가 물을 혼합하였을 경우에 비해 점토입자와 기름의 화학적, 물리학적인 상호 작용으로 5~15%정도 강도가 증가하는 현상을 보였다. 일반적으로 산업용 기름 유출에 따라 토양오염 및 수질오염으로 동.식물에 큰 영향을 주고 있으나 토질역학적 거동은 초기 상태 및 모래에서는 전단 강도가 감소하였으나 점성토의 경우는 기름 유출 또는 유입에 따라 응집성, 부착성이 생겨 강도증가 현상을 가져와 큰 문제점이 없는 것으로 판단된다.

A coupled experimental-numerical study on shear fracture in concrete specimens with different geometries is carried out. The crack initiation, propagation and final breakage of concrete specimens are experimentally studied under compression loading. The load-strain and the strength of the specimens are experimentally measured, indicating decreasing effects of the shear behavior on the failure load of the specimen. The effects of specimen geometries on the shear fracturing path in the concrete specimens are also investigate. Numerical models using an indirect boundary element method are made to evaluate the crack propagation paths of concrete specimens. These numerical results are compared with the performed experiments and are validated experimentally.

Ratcheting behavior of IN 718 was investigated at $649^{\circ}C$ under various proportional and non-proportional loading conditions with stress control. The material response was initially elastic but substantial plastic strain was developed as the material softened cyclically. Ratcheting strain was measured to near fatigue life, and is found to have three stages of development - primary, secondary (steady-state) and tertiary. The secondary stage dominates for most cases. Under the same equivalent stress amplitude and mean stress, it was revealed that circular path loading gives higher ratcheting rates and shorter lives than linear paths and that the more ratcheting occurs when the cyclic load is in the same direction as the mean stress. The ratcheting strain at failure depends not only on its rate but also on fatigue life itself, and it is not a primary life-determining factor.

In mobile ad hoc networks, packet loss is unavoidable due to MAC contention, link failure or the inherent characteristics of wireless link. Since TCP relies on the timely reception of TCP ACK packets to progress the transmission of the TCP DATA packets, ACK loss obviously affects the performance due to two main problems: (a) Frequent occurrence of spurious retransmissions caused by timeout events and (b) impairment of the fast retransmit mechanism caused by the lack of a sufficient number of duplicate ACK packets. In particular, since most reactive routing protocols force the packets buffered over a path to be discarded while performing a route recovery, the performance degradation becomes more serious due to such ACK loss. In this paper, therefore, TCP with two piggybacking schemes (called TCP-pgy) is proposed in order to resolve the above-mentioned problems over reactive routing protocols. Through extensive simulations using the ns-2 simulator, we prove that our proposed schemes contribute to TCP performance improvements.

The fault-tolerance routing problem is one of the most important issues in the application of the Internet of Things, and has been attracting growing research interests. In order to maintain the communication paths from source sensors to the macronodes, we present a hybrid routing scheme and model, in which alternate paths are created once the previous routing is broken. Then, we propose an improved efficient and intelligent fault-tolerance algorithm (IEIFTA) to provide the fast routing recovery and reconstruct the network topology for path failure in the Internet of Things. In the IEIFTA, mutation direction of the particle is determined by multi-swarm evolution equation, and its diversity is improved by the immune mechanism, which can improve the ability of global search and improve the converging rate of the algorithm. The simulation results indicate that the IEIFTA-based fault-tolerance algorithm outperforms the EARQ algorithm and the SPSOA algorithm due to its ability of fast routing recovery mechanism and prolonging the lifetime of the Internet of Things.

Subsea pipeline route design is a crucial task for the offshore oil and gas industry, and the route selected can significantly affect the success or failure of an offshore project. Thus, it is essential to design pipeline routes to be eco-friendly, economical and safe. Obstacle avoidance is one of the main problems that affect pipeline route selection. In this study, we propose a technique for designing an automatic obstacle avoidance. The Laplacian smoothing algorithm was used to make automatically generated pipeline routes fairer. The algorithms were fast and the method was shown to be effective and easy to use in a simple set of case studies.

Multicasting is the simultaneous transmission of data to multiple destinations. In multicast ATM networks the effect of failures on transmission links or nodes can be catastrophic so that the issue of survivability is of great importance. However little attention has been paid to the problem of multicast restoration. This paper presents an efficient heuristic technique for routing backup virtual paths in ulticast networks with link failure. Genetic algorithm is employed here as a heuristic. In the application of genetic algorithm to the problem, a new genetic encoding and decoding method and genetic operators are proposed in this paper. The other several heuristics are also presented in order to assess the performance of the proposed algorithm. Experimental results demonstrate that our algorithm is a promising approach to solving the problem.

In this paper, We presented the algorithm for estimating a reliability between nodes in wireless communication network such as RBN and MANET To estimate the reliability between nodes, we first modeled RNB and MANET as probability graph. Branches of the graph are always reliable and the probability of node failure is independent. After all possible simple path which can be established between two nodes are examined, we perform sharp arithmetic to remove repetition event between two nodes. Using probability for each variable of the minimized Boolean equation, we present the reliability formula.
