Abstract:
Many students believe that the solution to most mathematics problems is fairly direct, involves only one step, and provides one final answer. In most real-life situations, however, mathematical problem solving involves several steps to obtain a complete solution. One cannot design a bridge with a simple mathematical computation. In addition, most problem-solving situations in the real world require teams of people. The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM 2000) has promoted the use of complex problems that involve multistep solutions. Many standardized tests present problems that require expanded or extended responses. Because a simple solution with one answer might not be sufficient, rubrics are often developed to address the extent to which a problem has been solved. The mathematics assessment section of the Florida Comprehensive Achievement Test (FCAT) is one such example (Florida Department of Education 2002).

Abstract:
Abstract Abstract 4431 Introduction: The use of TKIs represents a major advance in the treatment of CML over previous therapies in terms of both disease response and treatment-related morbidity. Therapeutic responses to TKIs in CML are, however, rarely equivalent to cures. In most patients, residual disease remains and treatment interruptions are often followed by recurrence. Consequently, TKI therapy will be life long for most patients. The necessity of taking an oral medication daily for life, combined with the potential for treatment interruptions to result in recurrence, points strongly to the importance of studying medication adherence in CML patients prescribed TKIs. Toward this end, the present study evaluated adherence and reasons for nonadherence among CML patients who had been receiving TKI therapy for at least six months. Method: Patients were eligible for the study if they were diagnosed with CML in the chronic phase, treated with the same TKI (imatinib, nilotinib or dasatinib) for at least six months, on the same TKI dose for the past two months, and in complete cytogenic response. They were identified by reviewing clinic records and approached to participate either via mail or during a routine clinic visit. Those who provided informed consent completed a background information form assessing demographic characteristics and a self-report questionnaire assessing rates of adherence and reasons for nonadherence in the past 30 days adapted from research on adherence to tamoxifen. Clinical data were obtained through review of medical records. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize adherence information. Chi-square tests and t-tests were performed to examine relationships between indices of adherence and demographic and clinical characteristics. The study was approved by the University of South Florida Institutional Review Board. Result: Of 68 patients asked to participate, 62 (91.2%) agreed and provided complete data. These patients (53.2% male, 46.8% female) were an average of 55 years old (range = 18 to 81). They had been diagnosed with CML an average of 4.6 years previously (range = 0.6 to 12.8 years) and had been taking imatinib (56.5%), nilotinib (30.6%), or dasatinib (12.9%) for an average of 3.1 years (range = 0.5 to 8.3 years). These patients were prescribed 1 (50%), 2 (20.7%), 3 (12.1%), 4 (15.5%), and 6 (1.7%) TKI pills per day. In the past 30 days, 4 patients (6.4%) reported taking more TKIs pills per day than prescribed and 23 patients (37.1%) reported taking fewer TKI pills per day than prescribed. Among all patients, the number of days one or more doses were missed were 1 day (12.9%), 2 to 3 days (12.9%), 4 to 6 days (6.6%) and 6 or more days (4.7%). Patients who missed a dose reported that they did so because they forgot (34.8%), chose to (47.8%), or both (17.4%). Among patients who chose to miss a dose, the most common reason was “because of how the medication makes me feel” (58.3%). Whether or not patients missed a dose in the past 30 days was not significantly related to demographic variables (i.e., age, gender, education, race, marital status, employment status, or income) or clinical variables (time since diagnosis, time on current treatment, type of TKI therapy, number of TKIs pills per day, or achievement of a complete molecular response). Conclusion: The results indicate that nonadherence to prescribed TKI therapy is common and suggest the need to develop and evaluate interventions to promote continued high adherence over time. Findings further suggest that use of reminders and routine symptom assessment and management should be included as components of a comprehensive intervention strategy. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Abstract:
Important indicators of population health needed for large-scale sea turtle population recovery efforts include demographics, disease and mortality trends, condition indices, and baseline blood data. With this comprehensive health assessment of adult female green sea turtles Chelonia mydas nesting on Juno Beach, Florida, USA, we (1) established comprehensive baseline health indices; (2) identified individuals with evidence of infection by chelonid alphaherpesviruses 5 and 6 (ChHV5, ChHV6), which are implicated in fibropapillomatosis and respiratory and skin disease, respectively; and (3) compared measured health indices between turtles that did versus those that did not test positive for ChHV5 and/or ChHV6. All 60 turtles included in the study were in good body condition with no external fibropapillomatosis tumors. Hematological and biochemical reference intervals were established. Via quantitative PCR (qPCR), 5/60 turtles (8%) tested positive for ChHV5, and all turtles were negative for ChHV6. Of 41 turtles tested for antibodies to ChHV5 and ChHV6, 29% and 15% tested positive, respectively, and 10% tested positive for antibodies to both viruses. Notably, there were no statistically significant differences between health variables for nesting turtles that tested positive for ChHV5 DNA versus those that tested negative; and also no differences between turtles that tested positive for ChHV5 or ChHV6 antibodies and those that did not. This suggests that these viruses are enzootically stable in Florida’s adult green turtles. This study provides a health profile of nesting green turtles in southeastern Florida applicable to temporal and spatial investigations of this and other populations.

Abstract:
Accidents at highway-rail grade crossings can cause fatalities and injuries, as well as significant property damages. In order to prevent accidents, certain upgrades need to be made at highway-rail grade crossings. However, due to limited monetary resources, only the most hazardous highway-rail grade crossings should receive a priority for upgrading. Hence, accident/hazard prediction models are required to identify the most hazardous highway-rail grade crossings for safety improvement projects. This study selects and evaluates the accident and hazard prediction models found in the highway-rail grade crossing safety literature to rank the highway-rail grade crossings in the State of Florida. Three approaches are undertaken to evaluate the candidate accident and hazard prediction models, including the chi-square statistic, grouping of crossings based on the actual accident data, and Spearman rank correlation coefficient. The analysis was conducted for the 589 highway-rail grade crossings located in the State of Florida using the data available through the highway-rail grade crossing inventory database maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration. As a result of the performed analysis, a new hazard prediction model, named as the Florida Priority Index Formula, is recommended to rank/prioritize the highway-rail grade crossings in the State of Florida. The Florida Priority Index Formula provides a more accurate ranking of highway-rail grade crossings as compared to the alternative methods. The Florida Priority Index Formula assesses the potential hazard of a given highway-rail grade crossing based on the average daily traffic volume, average daily train volume, train speed, existing traffic control devices, accident history, and crossing upgrade records.

Abstract:
Conventional cropping systems on sandy soils require continuous application of large amounts of external nutrients and irrigation water yet remain vulnerable to loses of these inputs. Within the state of Florida, need exists to provide farmers with economically viable alternatives that harness ecological processes and improve soil health and biodiversity. Cover crops are proving to be vital in the development of soil health. As part of this study we conducted a comprehensive on-farm assessment involving nine collaborative growers (ten farms) across the state; with each individual farm following its unique cover-cropping practice. Our goal was to shadow their practice and determine its effect on soil health indicators such as soil pH, bulk density (BD), maximum water holding capacity (MWHC), organic matter (OM), active carbon, cation exchange capacity, soil protein, Total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), total phosphorus (TP), Mehlich-3 P (M3P) and potassium (M3K). Compared to fallow, soil OM, MWHC, and soil protein showed increases in cover crop fields for most farms, which presented a positive change towards building up soil health. Although soil TKN level was significantly decreased due to cover crops, soil protein level building up over time was the most positive change for soil health. M3K decreased in cover-crop fields, which indicated that supplementary K would be necessary prior to planting subsequent cash crops.

Abstract:
With the passing of the No Child Left Behind legislation (2001), individual states have been required to administer standardized tests to measure students' academic achievement in several academic areas, including reading comprehension. Many schools are using curriculum embedded reading comprehension tests to assess students' progress in achieving grade level expectations before the administration of state standardized test. This study used de-identified student data on curriculum embedded reading comprehension tests and the state standardized reading test, FCAT 2.0 to assess the correlation between a specific curriculum-based measure and the FCAT 2.0. The researcher used Pearson and Spearman Correlation to assess the predictive relationship of the curriculum-embedded reading tests and FCAT 2.0 reading. Strong correlations were found between the two assessments which educators may find useful when planning and differentiating reading comprehension instruction throughout the school year.

Abstract:
The present study examined the relationships among various learner characteristics and reading achievement, as measured by the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT). Using a multiple regression, the independent variables grade, gender, ethnicity, and motivation to read were used to predict the dependent variable, reading achievement. Participants in this study consisted of 585 students from nine elementary, nine middle, and nine high schools across three districts in Florida. Using archival data from a database composed by the Florida Center for Reading Research, the FCAT and Motivation to Read Profile were used to compute reading achievement and motivation to read, respectively. FCAT reading achievement was measured by the participant's Sunshine State Standard score in reading, and motivation to read was measured by student responses on the 4-point likert scale of the Motivation to Read Profile. The findings indicate that grade level and motivation to read were significant positive predictors of FCAT reading achievement, and African American and Hispanic ethnicity status were significant inverse predictors of FCAT reading achievement. African American ethnicity status was the strongest predictor of FCAT reading achievement and motivation to read was the second strongest. Gender and mixed ethnicity status did not significantly predict FCAT reading achievement. Results of this study support the findings of previous research.

Abstract:
This study examined the impact of involuntary mobility on the academic achievement of tenth grade students in a Central Florida school district. Students of involuntary mobility were selected as the result of new attendance boundaries due to new high school construction. Students were compared against non-mobile peers at schools of like demographics (i.e. poverty level and ethnicity). Mobility status (involuntary or no mobility) was the independent variable. The dependent variable, academic achievement, was measured by students' tenth grade developmental scale scores in reading and mathematics on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test. Students' ninth grade test scores were used as a covariate to control for students’ prior achievement and isolate the impact of mobility. Additional subgroups (minority and poverty) were compared to determine if involuntary mobility had a more significant impact on these groups. Finally, a hierarchical linear regression was used to determine if a model for reading and mathematics could be used to predict future academic performance for students of involuntary mobility. Findings showed consistently there was no statistically significant difference in the achievement performance among groups or subgroups and the subject tests of reading and/or mathematics with one exception. There was a statistically significant difference in mathematics achievement in the all students group when comparing those students of involuntary mobility with students of stability. Students of mobility actually indicated a modest level of higher achievement than non-mobile peers. The hierarchical linear model was found to be marginally significant for predicting achievement among involuntary mobility students in the area of mathematics, but not necessarily in reading. Future research recommendations include broadening the research to additional grade-levels. This research only considered the impact of achievement on high school students. Future research should consider similar impact on students at both the elementary and/or middle school levels. Qualitative measures would provide additional information, particularly the perceptions and experiences that stakeholders have throughout the involuntary mobility process. Other at-risk subgroups, particularly those of residential mobility and/or previous retention, provide additional considerations that would add to this body of research. Finally, involuntary mobility as the result of school closings would provide additional insight as this factor often has public negative perceptions.

Full text
Abstract:
This is the age of accountability in public schools. The public wants to know that the schools are producing high achieving students who are ready for the future. With this push for accountability the rise in standardized testing should not be surprising. However, it is difficult to test an abstract course such as the arts. With the increase of standardized testing and the recent tough economic times, it is no wonder that performing arts classes in our public schools are often the first to be pared down or dissolved (Mendels, 2008). It is the presiding feeling that these courses, while nice and fun for the students, do not offer any tangible, real, or marketable skills. "...imparting knowledge about the arts typically has not been a priority goal in our nation's schools' (Ward, 1983, ¶ 2). This study explored the benefits that students can achieve through their participation in the dramatic arts courses including, but not limited to, enhancement of reading and verbal scores. This study was designed to illustrate that the arts are a natural and necessary part of the high school educational experience and can play an instrumental part of learning even in a distressed economy, and/or in a regulated testing arena. Students who were freshmen or sophomores in 2008-2009 and scored a Level 1 or 2 (below average) score on the reading portion of the state test, the FCAT, and were from Orange and Seminole Counties in Florida became the sample set. These students were disaggregated into categories of students who took a dramatic arts course or not, by gender, by race, and by socioeconomic status to determine if participation in a dramatic arts course in high school would help raise a remedial reading score on the required state test. Although the data did not show a statistical significance, it did show a positive trend in a few of the tested areas. Suggestions for why the data appear to show only a trend and not significance are discussed further in Chapter 5.

Abstract:
This chapter utilizes craniometric, dental metric, and Arizona State University Dental Anthropology System (ASUDAS) data to investigate temporospatial differences in biological distance patterns at the monumental necropoles of Campovalano and Alfedena, Iron Age Central Italy. Results of craniometric one-way analyses of variance suggest that Campovalano crania exhibit great biological continuity through time, while geometric mean scaled dental metric multidimensional scaling and ASUDAS neighbor-joining clustering indicate Campovalano samples are more similar to each other than compared to Alfedena Campo Consolino, the ritual core of the broader Alfedena necropolis. Also, Mantel tests reveal that male faces and cranial bases faintly correlate with burial distances at Alfedena Campo Consolino, which is consistent with previous research. However, female tooth row metrics slightly correlate with burial distances at Campovalano, which was unexpected. Finally, logistic regression and analyses of covariance models of a small dental metric subset could suggest that Alfedena Campo Consolino is the most different of the metric samples and that more comprehensive modelling of sex-specific dental morphogenetic field variation should be considered in bioarchaeology. Results are discussed in terms of biological and physical distances, endogamy and marriage rules, heritability, and small and imbalanced samples for investigating the frontiers and borderlands of the past.

Abstract:
Evaluation of patient risk is a critical aspect of the presedation phase of care. For scheduled procedures and tests, information obtained during the prescreening process is incorporated into the formal assessment of the patient at the time of the procedure. If the prescreening process has been sufficiently rigorous, the patient is likely to be appropriately prepared for sedation and the day-of-procedure evaluation (procedure screen) should be able to be done quickly, efficiently, and safely. The presedation evaluation represents the final step prior to the initiation of sedation. This is where all interval information and findings are fused to develop the overall sedation plan. Appropriate integration of a rigorous prescreening process with a careful presedation review allows for the most comprehensive and safe approach to pediatric procedural sedation. Specific patient conditions that pose additional significant risk during procedural sedation are further discussed.

Abstract:
By now it should be apparent that unconditional education (UE) is both comprehensive in its scope and ambitious in its goals. This chapter will help outline the formative assessment process that has been created as a means to inform high-quality program planning and implementation and summative assessments used to measure the extent to which the model promotes positive outcomes for students and schools. The two overarching goals of implementing this model are (1) to increase the academic performance and social-emotional well-being of the most struggling students and (2) to increase the capacity of schools serving highly stressed communities to deliver effective interventions through the implementation of a transdisciplinary multi-tiered framework. The second goal relates to capacity building and systems change within the school community itself; while the first relates to the outcomes these changes bring about. More information about the model’s overall theory of action can be found in the logic model in Appendix 7.1. The logic model also highlights the four key components of UE and the implementation strategies related to them. These key components are as follows: …System efficiency, resources match the level of identified student need and schools are able to leverage braided funding, including general education, special education, and mental health dollars. Coordination of services, a transdisciplinary team reviews data, assigns students to intervention, and monitors their progress. Universal supports/Tier 1, a culture and climate team engages in a schoolwide assessment and planning process explained in great detail later in this chapter. Targeted and intensive supports, data-informed, high-quality interventions are implemented with fidelity and monitored for effectiveness…. The strategies related to these four key components are expected to influence a set of comprehensive, long-term outcomes. These outcomes measure the extent to which the model has improved school culture and climate (as measured by the School Climate Assessment Instrument), increased academic achievement (as measure by standardized tests), improved behavior outcomes (as measured by suspension rates), and increased attendance. While data are reviewed at the end of every school year, it is not until the third year that a substantial impact on these long-term measures is expected.

Abstract:
53.8% of annually generated US Municipal Solid Waste was discarded in landfills by 2012. However, landfills fail to provide a sustainable solution to manage the waste. The State of Florida has responded to the need of establishing sustainable SWM systems by setting an ambitious 75% recycling goal to be achieved by 2020. To this end, Advanced Biological Treatment (ABT) and Thermal Treatment (ATT) of municipal solid waste premise a sustainable solution to manage the waste as it drastically reduces the volume of waste discarded in landfills and produces biogas that can be used to generate energy. In this chapter, ABT and ATT technologies are analyzed; and their advantages and disadvantages are examined from a sustainability perspective. A comprehensive top-to-bottom assessment of ABT technologies is provided for Florida using Analytic Hierarchy Process based on the collected subject matter expert rankings.

This paper discusses the comprehensive integrity assessment of feeders fabricated from normalized pipe and elbow piping items subject to Flow Accelerated Corrosion (FAC) during in-service conditions. The arguments are based on the improved mechanistic understanding of FAC; review of international piping rupture events; examinations of removed feeders; burst-pressure tests of prototypical and ex-service feeder piping sections, the minimum acceptable wall thickness for feeder piping; and station feeder life cycle management plans. It is concluded that rupture of feeder pipe due to FAC is a very low probability event.

Abstract:
Abstract Large gas turbine nickel based superalloys blades are typically manufactured using an investment casting process. In spite of superior processing and quality control, large turbine blades may contain manufacturing induced discontinuities such as porosities, segregation, chemical inhomogeneities, particles, etc in few of the manufactured parts. These manufacturing discontinuities can significantly influence the reliable component life if they are under a load condition where they will form a crack. A typical engineering approach is to treat these discontinuities as a crack from the beginning of the part life. This leads to a conservative life prediction, as crack nucleation and influencing geometrical details of the discontinuities are neglected. This paper presents a framework and path forward for a comprehensive life assessment. It includes computer tomography (CT) analysis, metallographic analysis, local stress analysis, crack formation, as well as state of the art fracture mechanics analysis. For instance, CT and destructive tests reveal details of the geometry of a porous region and thereby enabling the calculation of crack formation life. A subsequent fracture mechanics analysis by engineering tool, FRANC3D can then yield a comprehensive life assessment for comparisons to experimental findings and fleet experience. This approach enables Siemens to diligently ensure that comprehensive life predication assessment has been performed for the components for robust and reliable operation.

Abstract:
This paper is an empirical study to examine the effectiveness of different pedagogies in knowledge perception. The study uses data from 562 students during the period from 2012 to 2016 that measures students’ performance in the Finance courses aligned with the commonly implemented pedagogies in teaching. The results from the empirical tests verify the theme proposed by Richard L. Gregory (a prominent British neuropsychologist) that learning is achieved through a process of analogizing and aligning the new information with available and stored knowledge in the brain, and the continuous efforts to discover and solve the problems in learning bring about this effectiveness. The study provides a detailed assessment for different pedagogies in teaching that offers reflections on effectiveness for teaching and learning. Keywords: Pedagogy, Education Research, and Finance

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Damaged spent nuclear fuel (DSNF) can be loaded in German dual-purpose casks (DPC) for transport and interim storage. Encapsulations are needed to guarantee a safe handling and a tight closure, separated from the package enclosure. These encapsulations shall be durable and leak-tight for a long storage period, because they are usually not accessible within periodical inspections of the DPC. Due to the general design of DPCs for standard fuel assemblies, specific requirements have to be considered for the design of encapsulations for DSNF to ensure the loading in existing package designs. Especially the primary lid system of a DPC is designed for maximum loads due to the internal impact of the content during drop test conditions. The main difference of encapsulations for damaged spent nuclear fuel is that they have usually a much higher stiffness than standard fuel assemblies. Therefore the design of an internal shock absorber, e.g. at the head of an encapsulation is required to reduce mechanical loads to the primary lid system during impacts. BAM as part of the German competent authority system is responsible for the safety assessment of the mechanical and thermal package design, the release of radioactive material and the quality assurance of package manufacturing and operation. Concerning the mechanical design of the encapsulation BAM was involved in the comprehensive assessment procedure during the package design approval process. An internal shock absorber was developed by the package designer with numerical analyses and experimental drop tests. Experimental drop tests are needed to cover limiting parameters regarding, e.g. temperature and wall thickness of the shock absorbing element to enable a detailed specification of the whole load-deformation behavior of the encapsulation shock absorber. The paper gives an overview of the assessment work by BAM and points out the main findings which are relevant for an acceptable design of internal shock absorbers. The physical drop tests were planned on the basis of pre-investigations of the applicant concerning shape, dimension and material properties. In advance of the final drop tests the possible internal impact behavior had to be analyzed and the setup of the test facility had to be validated. The planning, performance and evaluation of the final drop tests were witnessed and assessed by BAM. In conclusion it could be approved that the German encapsulation system for damaged spent nuclear fuel with shock absorbing components can be handled similar to standard fuel assemblies in existing package designs.

The paper reviews the methodology adopted in a Swiss Research Collaboration to devise a component-feature representative testpiece geometry and the thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) cycle parameters necessary to closely simulate the most arduous conceivable operating duties in steam turbines exposed to cyclic operation. Implementation of these service-like experimental conditions provides a practical indication of the effectiveness of deformation and crack initiation endurance predictions, in particular during fast turbine start-up conditions. Comprehensive post test inspection also provides evidence to demonstrate the physical realism of the laboratory simulations in terms of the creep-fatigue damage generated during the benchmark tests. Mechanical response results and physical damage observations are presented and their practical implications evaluated.

Abstract:
Experimental and theoretical work concerning the application of ceramic components in small high temperature gas turbines has been performed for several years. The significance of some non-oxide ceramic materials for gas turbines in particular is based on their excellent high temperature properties. The application of ceramic materials allows an increase of the turbine inlet temperature resulting in higher efficiencies and a reduction of pollution emissions. The inherent brittleness of monolithic ceramic materials can be virtually reduced by reinforcement with ceramic fibers leading to a quasi-ductile behavior. Unfortunately, some problems arise due to oxidation of these composite materials in the presence of hot gas flow containing oxygen. At the Motoren- und Turbinen Union, München GmbH, comprehensive investigations including strength, oxidation, and thermal shock tests of several materials that seemed to be appropriate for combustor liner applications were undertaken. As a result, C/C, SiC/SiC, and two C/SiC-composites coated with SiC, as oxidation protection, were chosen for examination in a gas turbine combustion chamber. To prove the suitability of these materials under real engine conditions, the fiber reinforced flame tubes were installed in a small gas turbine operating under varying conditions. The loading of the flame tubes was characterized by wall temperature measurements. The materials showed different oxidation behavior when exposed to the hot gas flow. Inspection of the C/SiC-composites revealed debonding of the coatings. The C/C- and the SiC/SiC-materials withstood the tests with a maximum cumulated test duration of 90 hours without damage.

Abstract:
In the current engineering practice, riser VIV design is typically based on empirically derived models. These tools have been under development for some time, but are based primarily on small scale rigid cylinder tests and flexible cylinders with relatively low aspect ratio. As high aspect ratio and full scale measurements become available for a wide variety of configurations, an improved understanding of the physics is beginning to emerge. This study employs a design based methodology for benchmarking VIV prediction tools against a comprehensive set of experiments. Configurations with bare, partially and fully straked risers operating at low and high current speeds are used to cover a broader range of validation conditions. Additional work to include the effect of high harmonics over a range of cases is necessary to draw more definitive conclusions. Given the difficulties in predicting VIV response for these small scale experiments the effectiveness in handling full scale risers is in question.

Abstract:
Coatings are extensively used in many areas including industrial and medical fields to serve various functions as corrosion resistance, wear resistance and antibacterial purposes. Copper and copper alloys are among the most widely applied coating materials for several industrial and medical applications. One of their widely used copper coating applications is in the antibacterial coating area. Most of the research done in this field focuses on the antibacterial behavior with no comprehensive assessment regarding their mechanical properties, such as hardness and adhesion strength. In this work, mechanical assessment of strength and hardness of pure copper and several copper alloys including Cu Sn5% P0.6%, Cu Ni18 Zn14 (German silver), and Cu Al9 Fe1 are studied experimentally and numerically. All coatings are deposited on stainless steel substrate disks of 25mm diameter by wire-arc thermal spraying at the center of advanced coating technologies, University of Toronto. All coatings are 150 microns in thickness, with two additional thicknesses up to 350 microns for Cu Ni18 Zn14 (German silver) and Cu Al9 Fe1. The effect of the coating thickness and composition on the mechanical properties is studied for all the copper and copper alloy samples with the varying thicknesses between 150 and 350 microns. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) is used to study the surface as well as the cross-sectional microstructure of the coatings. Vickers micro-indentation tests are used to evaluate hardness at various locations on the cross-section of the coating and the substrate. This is used to evaluate the effect of the deposition of the coating material, and the subsequent solidification, on the hardness of the coating layer as well as the substrate near the coating interface. Pull-off adhesion tests are performed to evaluate the effect of the coating composition and thickness on the strength of the coatings. Tests are carried out to compute the pull-off failure stress that causes the delamination between the coating and the substrate. Computational analysis will be used to calibrate the experimental data when available by means of finite element analysis. The preliminary pull-off tests show interesting results as the samples with lower coating thicknesses exhibit delamination at higher strengths. This is due to the increase in residual stresses in higher thicknesses building up during the deposition process. Some of the samples did not even fail at lower thicknesses of 150 microns. A comprehensive analysis between the adhesion strength and hardness will be very useful in understanding the effect of coating composition and thickness on the mechanical properties of the coating.

Abstract:
Integrity assessment of piping components is very essential for safe and reliable operation of power plants. Over the last several decades, considerable work has been done throughout the world to develop a methodology for integrity assessment of pipes and elbows, appropriate for the material involved. However, there is scope of further development/improvement of issues, particularly for pipe bends, that are important for accurate integrity assessment of piping. Considering this aspect, a comprehensive Component Integrity Test Program was initiated in 1998 at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), India. In this program, both theoretical and experimental investigations were undertaken to address various issues related to the integrity assessment of pipes and elbows. Under the experimental investigations, fracture mechanics tests have been conducted on pipes and elbows of 200–400 mm nominal bore (NB) diameter with various crack configurations and sizes under different loading conditions. Tests on small tensile and three point bend specimens, machined from the tested pipes, have also been done to evaluate the actual stress-strain and fracture resistance properties of pipe/elbow material. The load-deflection curve and crack initiation loads predicted by non-linear finite element analysis matched well with the experimental results. The theoretical collapse moments of throughwall circumferentially cracked elbows, predicted by the recently developed equations, are found to be closer to the test data compared to the other existing equations. The role of stress triaxialities ahead of crack tip is also shown in the transferability of J-Resistance curve from specimen to the component.
