Many papers have studied computer-aided simulations of elastic bodies undergoing large deflections and large deformations. But there have been few attempts to validate their numerical formulations used in these studies. The main aim of this paper is to validate the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) by comparing the results to experimental measurements on beams. Physical experiments with a high-speed camera were carried out to capture the large displacement of the beam and to verify the results of computer simulations. To consider the damping forces, the Rayleigh's damping and quadratic damping are employed and compared to the experimental results, respectively. Numerical results obtained from computer simulations were compared with the results from the physical experiments according to the $1^{st}$ mode and the $2^{nd}$ mode of the beam, respectively.

The aim of this research was to study the structural and rheological properties of gels formed by ferulated maize bran arabinoxylans (MBAX) at different concentrations. MBAX was cross-linked by a laccase leading to the formation of dimers and trimers of ferulic acid (di-FA, tri-FA) as covalent cross-link. An increase in MBAX gels elasticity (from 11 to 20 Pa) as well as lower mesh size (from 80 to 48 nm) were obtained by augmenting the MBAX concentration from 2.5 to 3.5%(w/v), respectively, but no increase in di-FA and tri-FA content was obtained (0.03 and 0.014 ${\mu}$g/mg MBAX, respectively).

The capacity design of shear forces is one of the special demands of EC8 by which the ductile behavior of structures is implemented. The aim of capacity design is the formation of plastic hinges without shear failure of the elements. This is achieved by deriving the design shear forces from equilibrium conditions, assuming that plastic hinges, with their possible over-strengths, have been formed in the adjacent joints of the elements. In this equilibrium situation, the parameters (dimensions, material properties, axial forces etc) are random variables. Therefore, the capacity design of shear forces is associated with a probability of non-compliance (probability of failure). In the present study the probability of non-compliance of the shear capacity design in columns is calculated by assuming the basic variables as random variables. Parameters affecting this probability are examined and a modification of the capacity design is proposed, in order to achieve uniformity of the safety level.

The aim of the present study was to assess the oxygen transfer rate and oxygen uptake rate in antibiotic fermentation. As a model study, cultures of Streptomyces kanamyceticus in a complex medium were analyzed to evaluate the oxygen transfer and uptake rates using oxygen balance technique. Quantitative evidence for the effect of oxygen transfer rate on the volumetric antibiotic production was clearly demonstrated. The oxygen uptake rates and the specific oxygen requirements were significantly changed with culture time. Those phenomena were indicative of biological turnover in the antibiotic fermentation.

Flicker embrace all diverse effects of rapid voltage fluctuation. To minimize these effects, the voltage fluctuation must be kept below the limit. The aim of this study is to simulate TCR for flicker suppression. To do this, we built models similar to electrical systems of fields using EMTP and attached TCR to them. After attaching TCR, we confirmed reduction of incoming voltage fluctuation and reactive power compensation.

The most widely known form of multifunctional aircraft structure is smart structures for structural health monitoring (SHM). The aim is to provide automated systems whose purposes are to identify and to characterize possible damage within structures by using a network of actuators and sensors. Unfortunately, environmental and operational variability render many of the proposed damage detection methods difficult to successfully be applied. In this paper, an original robust damage detection approach using output-only vibration data is proposed. It is based on independent component analysis and matrix perturbation analysis, where an analytical threshold is proposed to get rid of statistical assumptions usually performed in damage detection approach. The effectiveness of the proposed SHM method is demonstrated numerically using finite element simulations and experimentally through a conformal load-bearing antenna structure and composite plates instrumented with piezoelectric ceramic materials.

An analytical method is presented to investigate electromagnetothermoelastic behaviors of a hollow sphere composed of functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM), placed in a uniform magnetic field, subjected to electric, thermal and mechanical loads. For the case that material properties obey an identical power law in the radial direction of the FGPM hollow sphere, exact solutions for electric displacement, stresses, electric potential and perturbation of magnetic field vector in the FGPM hollow sphere are determined by using the infinitesimal theory of electromagnetothermoelasticity. Some useful discussion and numerical examples are presented to show the significant influence of material inhomogeneity. The aim of this research is to understand the effect of composition on electromagnetothermoelastic stresses and to design optimum FGPM hollow spheres.

In this article, a special kind of axial flux permanent magnet machine has proved to be suitable for high torque and low speed applications. An innovative design of the machine has been proposed in order to make the machine suitable for traction applications by means of field-weakening. The aim of this paper is to analyze, in general terms, the basic equations that describe the operating conditions of such machines. Optimal sizes for design can be obtained by calculating the power density and the air-gap flux density, etc.

Revision of KS, Korean Standards, is currently actively discussed. It is just the time for a new world class standards under the new system with WTO, World Trade Organization. This paper is a part of "Researchs on the Standards in the Building Acoustic Field", as one of KS revision projects. The aim of this study is to define the requirements of laboratory test facilities with suppressed flanking transmission. In the former KS, there is no items matched with this purpose. Therefore comparing several results with different measuring conditions of a laboratory and results between different laboratories was impossible. On these basis, a new part of KS is proposed, and some problems remained and further discussions in the proposed draft are described in this study.
