In real design of the high & interim pressure turbine casing, it is one of the important things to figure out its thermal strain exactly. In this paper, with the establishment of the new concept for the heat transfer coefficient of steam that is one of the factors in analysis of the thermal stress for turbine casing, an analysis was done for one of the high & interim pressure turbine casings in operating domestically. The sensitivity analysis of the heat transfer coefficient of steam to the thermal strain of the turbine casing was done with a 2-D simple model. The analysis was also done with switching of the material properties of the turbine casing and resulted in that the thermal strain of the turbine casing was not so sensitive to the heat transfer coefficient of steam. On the basis of this, 3-D analysis of the thermal strain for the high and interim pressure turbine casing was done.

Purpose: This paper is concerned with optimally designing accelerated degradation test (ADT) plans based on a gamma process for the degradation model. Methods: By minimizing the asymptotic variance of the MLE of the q-th quantile of the lifetime distribution at the use condition, the test stress levels and the proportion of test units allocated to each stress level are optimally determined. Results: The optimal plans of ADT are developed for various combination of parameters. In addition, a method for determining the sample size is developed, and sensitivity analysis procedures are illustrated with an example. Conclusion: It is important to optimally design ADT based on a gamma process under the condition that a degradation process should be always nonnegative and strictly increasing over time.

The domestic concrete standard specification(l999) reports roughly about heat transfer analysis and thermal stress analysis for mass concrete. Engineers cannot but choice after all numerical method such FEM, FDM to escape review. It seems to us that the specification is room for reconsideration because above methods are vary expensive and without popularity. This study suggests thermal distributed function in mass concrete. The function consists of two independent variables, curing time and depth. It's results have been tested a sensitivity for unit cement content, form condition, curing condition, and shape(depth, width). Results of the function are made a comparison with analytical values of MIDAS/CIVIL and a few measurement values. The researchers could meet with coherent and good results for variable cases.

Shape optimal design of an excavator boom to minimize weight can be formulated as a nonlinear programming problem with an automesh refinement carried out by using the finite element method. The design variables are the radii and the coordinates of the circle to describe the excavator boundary shape. In addition to the displacement and stress constraints, geometric constraints are imposed such that the nodes cannot cross the certain range. The optimum design is obtained by using the PLBA nonlinear programming code. The sensitivity derivatives are calculated using the semi-analytical scheme. Numerical results of an excavator boom show potential for weight reduction of 4.4%(65.6 kgf) when considering the displacement, stress and geometric constraints.

Polyphosphate (polyP) plays diverse physiological functions in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, but most of their detailed mechanisms are still obscure. Here, we show that deletion of polyphosphate kinase (PPK), the principal enzyme responsible for synthesis of polyP, resulted in augmented expression of cAMP receptor protein (CRP) and rpoS and lowered $H_2O_2$ sensitivity in Salmonella Typhimurium ATCC14028. The binding of cAMP-CRP complex to rpoS promoter and further stimulation of its transcription were proved through electrophoretic mobility shift assay, lacZ fusion, and exogenous cAMP addition, respectively. The rpoS expression increased in cpdA (cAMP phosphodiesterase coding gene) mutant, further suggesting that cAMP-CRP upregulated rpoS expression. These results demonstrate that PPK affects oxidative stress response by modulating crp and rpoS expression in S. Typhimurium.

Specimens of Ti-10Ta-10Nb have been hot upset forged after heating to either the $\alpha$+$\beta$ and $\beta$-phase field. The variety temperatures (At 650, 700, 750, 800, 85$0^{\circ}C$) and strain rates (At 0.001, 0.01. 0.1, 1, 10 $s^{-1}$ ) were used. On the basis of flow stress data obtained as a function of temperature and strain rate in compression, a processing map for hot working has been developed. At strain rates lower than about 0.1 $s^{-1}$ and almost temperatures, processing efficiency exhibited high, but at 0.001 $s^{-l}$, and temperature 80$0^{\circ}C$, low because the Shear band has occurred. On the basis of the processing map, the optimum processing routes available for hot working of this material are outlined.d.

Despite the frequent use of ring-stiffened cylinders as a submarine pressure hull or members of various types of offshore structure, their ultimate strength analysis methods have not been well established because of their complex structural characteristics. This paper has established the method how to use commercial softwares based on the finite element method to implement the ultimate strength analysis of ring-stiffened cylinders covering both types of initial imperfection, i.e. initial deformation and initial stress by combining two separately offered functions of common commercial finite element softwares, linear elastic buckling analysis and nonlinear stress analysis. Developed method was applied to one of the world-widely used commercial softwares. ABAQUS for the analysis of ring stiffened cylinders. This paper ends with some useful information about the imperfection sensitivity of ultimate strength ring stiffened cylinders.

Vibration behavior of an initially stressed beam on discretely spaced multiple elastic supports has been studied and a theoretical formulation of the system is derived using the variational principle. Unlike beams on an elastic foundation, discretely spaced supports can distort the beam mode shapes when the supports have rather large stiffness, i.e. usually expected beam modes cannot be obtained, but rather irregular mode shapes are observed. Conversely, irregular modes can be recovered by changing initial stress. Since support location is closely associated with the dynamic characteristics, this work also discusses eigenvalue sensitivity with respect to the support position and some numerical examples are investigated to illustrate the above findings.

In MEMS devices, packaging induced stress or stress induced structure deformation become increasing concerns since it directly affects the performance of the device. In this paper, deformation behavior of MEMS gyroscope package subjected to temparature change is investigated using high-sensitivity $Moir{\acute{e}}$ interferometry. Using the real-time $Moir{\acute{e}}$ setup, fringe patterns are recorded and analyzed at several temperatures. Temperature dependent analyses of warpages and extensions/contractions of the package are presented. Linear elastic behavior is documented in the temperature region of room temperature to $125^{\circ}C$. Analysis of the package reveals that global bending occurs due to the mismatch of thermal expansion coefficient between the chip, the molding compond and the PCB.

This article evaluates the existing subjective measures that have been utilized in surface transportation to assess various aspects of operator status such as fatigue, sleepiness, arousal, mood, etc. Specifically, the representative six subjective instruments - Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Karolinska Sleepiness Scale, Pearson and Byars Fatigue Checklist, Stanford Sleepiness Scale, Stress-Arousal Checklist, and NPRU Mood Scale - are compared and contrasted in terms of reliability, . validity, sensitivity, and appropriateness for application. Recommendations for application of the subjective measures in surface transportation are discussed.
