Re water resistance of shell fabrics intended for we in outdoor apparel was measured using three different standard test methods, ASTM D 751, hydrostatic resistance, procedure A(Mullen test -- with and without a fabric support) and Procedure B (Hydrostatic head test). A database of information on their water resistance performance was created. The data collected with different methods were correlated and the advantages and disadvantages of each method were compared. The Mullen test with a support appears to give higher and more favorable water resistance values on shell fabrics preventing fabric rupture during the test. The hydrostatic head test gave lower hydrostatic pressure values than those measured on the two Mullen tests. The Mullen test is recommended for testing the water resistance of fabrics that high a relatively high water resistance because the Mullen tester applies a wide range of pressure. The hydrostatic head test is recommended for testing the fabrics that have relatively low water resistance. The area of the fabric sample that is in contact with the water is smaller in the Mullen test, so higher pressure levels can be reached and more samples should probably be tested to get a representative value for each fabric types. Furthermore, the hydrostatic head test was deemed more repeatable than the Mullen tests in his study.

This study was carried out to investigate the relationship between the water resistance and the air permeability. The results are as follows; 1. In case of the water proofing fabrics, We cannot find that there is any relationship between the water resistance and the air permeability according to the kinds of finishing, while in case of the water repellent finished fabries, we can find that there is a correlationship between them, especially the hydrostatic pressure and the air permeability are found to have negative correlation. 2. In case of the water proofing fabrics, the relationship between the water resistance and the air permeability is not affected by the thickness of the fabrics. On the other hand, in case of the water repellent finished fabrics, the relationship between them is affected by the thickness of the fabrics. Especially, the relationship between the hydrostatic pressure and the air permeability as well as the relationship between the water repellency and the air permeability is effect much by the thickness of the fabrics, too. 3. In case of the water proofing fabrics, the relationship between the water resistance and the air permeability is not affected by fabric count. On the otherhand, in case of the water repellent finished fabrics, the relationship between them is affected by the fabric count. Especially, the relationship between hydrostatic pressure and the air permeability, and the relationship between the water proof and the air permeability are affected much by fabric count.

There are many problems in wire fabrication of long length Bi-2223 superconductor by using conventional extrusion method. They are mainly due to high surface resistance and inhomogeneous distribution of inner stress. Hydrostatic extrusion process will not only decrease the extrusion pressure but also enhance homogeneous deformation of material by reducing friction force between billet and container Hydrostatic extrusion method is considered to be useful fur fabrication of the homogeneous wire with high density. In this paper, hydrostatic extrusion process is introduced to fabricate Bi-2223 superconducting tape, and also discussed are the interface homogeneity and microstructural aspects of extruded BSCCO/Ag billet.

Hydrostatic bearings are widely used in precision machines due to their high motion guide accuracy, low friction and high load carrying capacity. It is very useful to estimate the moving characteristics of hydrostatic bearings in the design stage. A new method is suggested for the analysis of fluid film in hydrostatic bearings. A combined mesh of 8 node solid elements with negligible deformation resistance and spring-dashpot elements is used in conjunction with the user subroutine of ABAQUS to represent the fluid film. The mesh can be used to capture the deformation of the bearing structure as well as the varying properties of fluid film. Analysis results from the finite element model are compared with theoretical solutions, results from FLUENT analysis and some previous works. With this method, static and dynamic analyses of the system containing the bearings can be performed efficiently.

A depth-integrated model with an approximate Riemann solver for flux computation of the shallow water equations was applied to hydraulic jump experiments. Due to the hydraulic jump, different flow regimes occur simultaneously in a single channel. Therefore, the Weisbach resistance coefficient, which reflects flow conditions rather than the Manning roughness coefficient that is independent of depth or flow, has been employed for flow resistance. Simulation results were in good agreement with experimental results, and it was confirmed that Manning coefficients converted from Weisbach coefficients were appropriately set in the supercritical and subcritical flow reaches, respectively. Limitations of the shallow water equations that rely on hydrostatic assumptions have been revealed in comparison with hydraulic jump experiments, highlighting the need for the introduction of a non-hydrostatic shallow-water flow model.

This paper introduces a non-hydrostatic wave model SWASH for simulating wave interactions with porous structures. This model calculates the flow in porous media based on volume-averaged Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations (VARANS) in ${\sigma}$-coordinate. The empirical coefficients of resistance used to account for the flow in a porous media often need to be measured or calibrated. In this study, the empirical resistance coefficients used in the model are calibrated and validated using laboratory experiments, involving dam-break flow through porous media, and solitary wave interactions with a porous structure. It is shown that the agreement between experimental and numerical results is generally satisfactory. It is also confirmed that non-hydrodynamic model, SWASH, is computationally much more efficient than the three-dimensional porous flow models based on VOF approach.

Subsea pipelines have been operated with buried depths of 1.2-4m underneath the seabed to prevent buoyancy and external impacts. Therefore, they have to show resistance to both the soil load and the hydrostatic pressure. In this study, the structural integrity of a subsea pipeline subjected to soil load and hydrostatic pressure was evaluated by using FE analyses. A parametric study showed that the internal pressure increased the plastic collapse depth by increasing the resistance to plastic collapse. The hoop stress increased with an increase in the buried depth for the same water depth; however, the hoop stress decreased with an increase in the water depth for the same buried depth.

The marine pipelines laid in deep waters were evaluated to verify the resistance on the plastic collapse to heavy ambient external pressure due to hydrostatic pressure. In this study, the plastic collapse behavior of the marine pipe subjected to hydrostatic pressure was evaluated with the ovality and ratio of diameter to thickness in FE analyses. A parametric study was shown that the internal pressure increased the plastic collapse depth by increasing of the resistance to the plastic collapse. It was also shown that the collapse depth of the pipeline having a local ovality was deeper than that of the pipeline having a global ovality. Finally, the plastic collapse depth decreased when either the ratio of diameter to thickness or the ovality increased.

The paper presents theoretical and experimental investigations on three varying thickness circular cylinders, which were tested to destruction under external hydrostatic pressure. The five buckling theories that were presented were based on inelastic shell instability. Three of these inelastic buckling theories adopted the finite element method and the other two theories were based on a modified version of the much simpler von Mises theory. Comparison between experiment and theory showed that one of the inelastic buckling theories that was based on the von Mises buckling pressure gave very good results while the two finite element solutions, obtained by dividing the theoretical elastic instability pressures by experimentally determined plastic knockdown factors gave poor results. The third finite element solution which was based on material and geometrical non-linearity gave excellent results. Electrical resistance strain gauges were used to monitor the collapse mechanisms and these revealed that collapse occurred in the regions of the highest values of hoop stress, where considerable deformation took place.

The increased interest in the design of energy efficient ships post IMO regulation on enforcing EEDI has encouraged researchers to reevaluate the numerical methods in predicting important hull design parameters. The prediction of added resistance and stability of ships in the rough sea environment dictates selection of ship hulls. A 3D panel method based on Green function is developed for vessel motion prediction. The effects of parametric instability are also investigated using the Volterra series approach to model the hydrostatic variation due to ship motions. The added resistance is calculated using the near field pressure integration method.
