The objective of this paper is to develop an expert system for nuclear piping integrity. This paper describes the selection methodology of integrity evalution method and the inference of material properties. To select the integrity evaluation method, the weight factor for respective material properties was obtained by the sensitivity analysis of the effect of material properties on integrity evaluation method. Subsequently the possession ratio for respective integrity evaluation method was computed, and the most appropriate integrity evaluation method for given input information is selected. In the material properties inference, stress-strain curves and J-R curves were predicted from tensile properties such as yield strength and tensile strength.

Layered manufacturing(LM) is emerging as a new technology that enables the fabrication of three dimensional heterogeneous objects such as Multi-materials and Functionally Gradient Materials (FGMs). Among various types of heterogeneous objects, more attention has recently paid on the fabrication of FGMs because of their potentials in engineering applications. The necessary steps for LM fabrication of FGMs include representation and process planning of material information inside an FGM. This paper introduces a new process planning algorithm that takes into account the processing of material information. The detailed tasks are discretization (i.e., decomposition-based approximation of volume fraction), orientation (build direction selection), and adaptive slicing of heterogeneous objects. In particular, this paper focuses on the discretization process that converts all of the material information inside an FGM into material features like geometric features. It is thus possible to choose an optimal build direction among various pre-selected ones by approximately estimating build time. This is because total build time depends on the complexity of features. This discretization process also allows adaptive slicing of heterogeneous objects to minimize surface finish and material composition error. In addition, tool path planning can be simplified into fill pattern generation. Specific examples are shown to illustrate the overall procedure.

We propose an enhanced Green's function approach to predict thermal stresses by considering temperature-dependent material properties. We introduce three correction factors for the maximum stress, the time taken to reach maximum stress, and the time required to attain steady state based on the Green's function results for each temperature. The proposed approach considers temperature-dependent material properties using correction factors, which are defined as polynomial expressions with respect to temperatures based on Green's functions, that we obtain from finite-element (FE) analyses at each temperature. We verify the proposed approach by performing detailed FE analyses on thermal transients. The Green's functions predicted by the proposed approach are in good agreement with those obtained from FE analyses for all temperatures. Moreover, the thermal stresses predicted using the proposed approach are also in good agreement with the FE results, and the proposed approach provides better predictions than the conventional Green's function approach using constant, time-independent material properties.

Purpose: This study aimed to develop supplementary material about the electronic fetal monitoring for nursing students, and to test the effects on electronic fetal monitoring related knowledge and confidence on nursing performance in delivery room. Methods: Totally 58 nursing students were recruited either experimental group (n=30) or a control group (n=28). A non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design was employed to test the effects on fetal monitoring related knowledge and confidence on nursing performance in delivery room. The supplementary material about the electronic fetal monitoring was developed based on Analysis, Design, Development, Implement and Evaluation (ADDIE) model. Fetal monitoring related knowledge and confidence on nursing performance in delivery room were self-reported by the scales that author developed. Data were collected at pre-test and after the 6-week intervention. Results: There was significant difference in confidence on nursing performance in delivery room between two groups after intervention. Conclusion: These findings suggest the importance of the supplementary material about the electronic fetal monitoring for nursing students to improve confidence on nursing performance in delivery room.

This study was executed to show influence of material and property of sportswear to physiological responses of body and comfort sensation and to supply basic research data about comfortable sportswear Trainning wear was manufactured with cotton(C) and hygroscopically treated polyester material (FP), and its properties of material were measured. Then rectal temperature, skin temperature, heart rate, weight loss, clothing microclimate and subjective sensation was estimated with study of wearing with these sportswear and examined the influence that it got to physiological responses of body and sensation. Health adult men were selected for subjects and executed at climatic chamber of temperature, $20\pm2^{\circ}C and humidity, $60\pm5%$ R.H. Conclusively sportswear of hygroscopically treated polyester is a favorable functional material. So far factor that affect to physiological comfort sensation has been explained mostly by moisture regain but in our experiment, it turned out that air permeability, water absorption velocity and dynamic oater absorption etc. were affecting factors. So according to this result, air permeability and moisture permeability should be considered with transmittance of temperature moisture for development of comfort material.

This paper studied on a theoretical approach to predict structural performances and weight -reduction rates of hybrid bodyshells in case that the material of underframe structure is substituted. To choose other light-weight materials to be substituted for the original underframe material, compressive, bending and twisting deformations are considered under constant stiffness and strength conditions, which derive some new weight-reduction indices from a structural performance point of view. Next, these weight-reduction indices were verified using the finite element analyses of some simplified examples. It is shown that the derived indices to estimate the weight-reduction can be utilized as a good criterion for material substitution of the underframe at a basic design stage.

In the shipyard, a lot of data is generated, stored, and managed during design, construction, and operation phases to build ships and offshore structures. However, it is difficult to handle such big data efficiently using existing data-handling technologies. As the big data technology is developed, the ship and offshore industries start to focus on the existing big data to find valuable information from it. In this paper, the material requirement estimation method of offshore structure piping materials using big data analysis is proposed. A big data platform for the data analysis in the shipyard is introduced and it is applied to the analysis of material requirement estimation to solve the problems in piping design by a designer. The regression model is developed from the big data of piping materials and verified using the existing data. This analysis can help a piping designer to estimate the exact amount of material requirement and schedule the purchase time.

The development of new concepts of liner is of great importance to effectively neutralize the enemy's attack power concealed in the protective structure or armored vehicles. A double layer liner has a combination of two different materials, one for penetration of target and the other for explosion after penetration. Therefore, it is of great importance to understand the temperature distribution before impact which should be lower than the explosive temperature of pure explosive material of the liner used. In this study, two different liner materials were obtained using cold spray coating and these material properties were characterized by DSC experiments. Numerical computations were done and the effect of temperature distribution and changes over time at each point of the explosive material depending on the layer types of the liner were discussed and analysed in the jet state.

INCONEL 718, nickel based superalloy, has good formability, high strength, excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties at high temperature. Owing to theses attractive properties, it finds use in applications such as combustion system, turbine engines and nuclear reactors. In such applications, components are typically required to be tolerant of high stress impact loading. This may cause material degradation and lead to catastrophic failure during service operation. In order to design optimal structural parts made of INCONEL 718, accurate understanding of material's mechanical properties, dynamic behavior and fracture characteristic as a function of strain rates are required. This paper concerned with the dynamic material properties of the INCONEL 718 for the various strain rates. The dynamic response of the INCONEL 718 at intermediate strain rate is obtained from the high speed tensile test machine test and at the high strain rate is from the split Hopkinson pressure bar test. Based on the experimental results, the effects of strain rate on dynamic flow stress, work hardening characteristics, strain rate sensitivity and elongation to the failure are evaluated. Experimental results from both quasi-static and high strain rate up to the 5000/sec are interpolated in order to construct the Johnson-Cook model as the constitutive relation that should be applied to simulate and design the structural parts made of INCONEL 718.

At the initial design stage, the generation process of the production material information of a building block and the simulation process of the block erection, which are required to perform the production planning and scheduling, have been manually performed using 2D drawings, based on the data of parent ships, and subjective intuition from past experience. To make these processes automatic, the accurate generation method of the production material information and the convenient simulation method of the block erection based on the initial hull structural model(3D CAD model), were developed in this study. Here, the initial hull' structural model was generated from the initial hull structural CAD system early developed by us. To evaluate the developed methods. these methods were applied to corresponding processes of a deadweight 300,OOOton VLCC. As a result. it was shown that the production material information of a building block can be accurately generated and the block erection can be conveniently simulated in the initial design stage.
