  • The truss bridge is composed of numerous steel beams. In long span bridges the size of beams is getting larger, so the number of plate girders is increasing instead of rolled beams. This plate girder has long welding lines at the intersection of steel plates. The improper welding at the intersection line causes the steel bridge to be structurally unsafe. In this paper the loss of member section from improper welding was measured and the experimental testing was performed to get the S-N curve from testing models with sectional losses. The improper welding resulted in the lowering of structural safety and the shortening of life cycle.

  • The present paper investigates the combination resonance behavior of imperfect spiral stiffened functionally graded (SSFG) cylindrical shells with internal and external functionally graded stiffeners under two-term large amplitude excitations. The structure is embedded within a generalized nonlinear viscoelastic foundation, which is composed of a two-parameter Winkler-Pasternak foundation augmented by a Kelvin-Voigt viscoelastic model with a nonlinear cubic stiffness, to account for the vibration hardening/softening phenomena and damping considerations. With regard to classical plate theory of shells, von-Kármán equation and Hook law, the relations of stress-strain are derived for shell and stiffeners. The spiral stiffeners of the cylindrical shell are modeled according to the smeared stiffener technique. According to the Galerkin method, the discretized motion equation is obtained. The combination resonance is obtained by using the multiple scales method. Finally, the influences of the stiffeners angles, foundation type, the nonlinear elastic foundation coefficients, material distribution, and excitation amplitude on the system resonances are investigated comprehensively.

  • Injection molded plastic parts have many appearance imperfections: weld line sink mark flow mark, gloss, shading, scratching, etc. Because these appearance faults have not accepted esthetically, so pastic parts are produced through painting or texturing. The purpose of this paper is to develop a paintless molded part of TV Mask Front, using numerical simulations and experiments. In order to minimize problems of injection, this study carried out computer aided injection mold filling simulations using MF/FLOW. Based on these numerical results we developed FR(Flame Retardant) HIPS and estabilished guidelines of part design, mold design, and processing conditions. We took effects of cost savings, inprovement of productivity, and utilization of recycling by eliminated painting process.

  • The analytical studies included nonlinear finite element analysis of split-tee connection details subjected to axial load and lateral load. A three-dimensional model of the connections between CFT columns and H-beams has been developed. Both initial geometrical imperfections and residual stresses are taken into consideration. A geometrically nonlinear load-displacement analysis of the structure containing the imperfection is then performed, using the Riks method. Analytical results are compared with existing experimental results. Extensive parametric analyses are carried out to investigate the relation of the connections between CFT columns and H-beam to various parameters such as the axial load, column width-thickness ratio, and split-tee thickness.

  • In this paper, we theoretically analyzed the NRRO(the non-repeatable run-out) of a ball bearing with ball geometric imperfection. The quasi-static and dynamic analysis of a ball bearing was performed to calculate the displacement of shaft center caused by the ball form errors while the shaft is rotating. From consideration of the generating mechanism of NRRO, it is found that the size and form errors of ball generate vibrations with (equation omitted)$\_$c/ and n(equation omitted)$\_$b/${\pm}$(equation omitted)$\_$c/(where n is even) components, respectively. The ball form errors of a ball bearing were precisely measured and NRRO of a ball bearing was calculated using the measured data. A statistical approach was peformed to analyze NRRO of ball bearings with radial errors.

  • Many research applications in basic sciences and biology such as protein crystallography require hard x-rays in the range of 3-20 keV with high brightness. A medium energy storage ring as PLS-II with a beam energy of 3 GeV can meet such high photon energies. In-vacuum undulators (IVU) with a period length of 20 mm and a peak field of 0.97 T are used in the PLS-II ring to produce such X-rays in the fundamental or higher harmonics. Due to the many poles and high fields, insertion devices like wigglers and undulators have a significant impact on the stability of the electron beam with potential degradation of beam quality and life time. Therefore, nonlinear fields must be determined by measurement and evaluated as to their impact on beam stability. Specifically, transverse field roll-off can be a serious detriment to injection in top-up mode and must be corrected. We use magnetic field measurement data to evaluated beam stability by tracking particles using an explicit symplectic integrator in both, transverse and longitudinal planes.

  • In these authors’ previous paper, it was shown that grey-level stability is one of the main drawbacks of the time-sequential stereoscopic 3D display. In the present study, it was demonstrated that a videoluminance meter can be used to rapidly and easily check the quality of such display. A dedicated pattern was applied to simultaneously check the effect of the grey level on the other eye and the effect of the temporal synchronization. The results were compared with those provided by a temporal model of the display, which was obtained by measuring its temporal behavior. The visual impact of the grey-level instabilities was precisely quantified, and they were found to be a major source of imperfections for the aforementioned display.

  • 본 논문에서는 전력증폭기 선형화를 위한 Cartesian feedback 방식의 궤환 경로에서 발생하는 DC offset과 이득 및 위상 불일치를 자동적으로 보상하는 개선된 방식을 제안한다. Cartesian feedback에 의한 비선형 전력증폭기 왜곡성분의 감쇠 정도는 시스템 루프의 이득, 대역폭, 시간지연에 의해 결정된다고 알려져 있다. 그러나 궤환 경로 각 소자에서 발생하는 DC offset과 이득 및 위상의 불일치로 인하여 송신기의 출력신호에 원하지 않는 반송파 성분과 이미지 신호가 발생하여 궤환보상의 효과가 반감되는 결과를 초래한다. 본 논문에서는 디지털 신호처리 시스템 구조에서 이진 검색 (binary search) 알고리즘을 이용하여 궤환 경로에서 발생하는 DC offset과 이득 및 위상 불일치를 자동적으로 보상하는 방식을 제안하고 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통하여 제안된 방식의 성능을 분석한다. 모의실험에서 고려된 방식에 비하여 동일한 정도의 DC offset과 이득 및 위상 불일치의 보상에 걸리는 시간을 평균적으로 40% 단축할 수 있었다.

  • This paper considers the buckling and post-buckling behavior of empty metal storage tanks under wind load. The structures of such tanks may be idealized as cantilever cylindrical shells, and the structural response is investigated using a computational model. The modeling employs a doubly curved finite element based on a theory by Simo and coworkers, which is capable of handling large displacements and plasticity. Buckling results for tanks with four different geometric relations are presented to consider the influence of the ratios between the radius and the height of the shell (R/L), and between the radius and the thickness (R/t). The studies aim to clarify the differences in the shells regarding their imperfection-sensitivity. The results show that thin-walled short tanks, with R/L = 3, display high imperfection sensitivity, while tanks with R/L = 0.5 are almost insensitive to imperfections. Changes in the total potential energy of tanks that would buckle under the same high wind pressures are also considered.
