Abstract:

The paper established three-dimensional Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model of the oil-air mixture in the gearbox after meshing by ICEM CFD simulated the turbulence model by the CFD. The method of calculate the windage power loss (WPL) of the spur gear were put forward. In order to reduced the WPL, compared the results between the CFD model with different modulus、clearance of the shroud and radius of the modification of gear top. The modulus is major parameter to WPL; the gear with shroud have lower WPL , WPL of the tooth flank and clearance of the tooth flank shroud do not show the proportional relationship, the gear with smallest clearance of gear side have lowest WPL，the modification of gear top can reduce the eddy scale which can reduce the WPL.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss conditions for workplace learning (WPL) in relation to temporary agency staffing (TAS), focusing on temporary and regular nurses’ experiences of social relations. Design/methodology/approach Data were gathered using qualitative semi-structured interviews with five agency nurses and five regular nurses. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. Findings Similarities and differences regarding conditions for WPL among “temps” and “regulars” emerged, pointing towards both challenges and opportunities for WPL on various levels. Moreover, although challenges stood out, the context of professional work provides certain opportunities for WPL through, for example, knowledge sharing among nurses. Research limitations/implications Results are valid for the interviewees’ experiences of WPL conditions. However, the findings may also have currency in other but similar workplaces and employment circumstances. Practical implications Client organisations and temporary work agencies could benefit from developing management and HR strategies aimed at strengthening the opportunities for WPL, related to professional work, to ensure that these opportunities are leveraged fully. Originality/value This study adopts a WPL perspective on TAS in the context of professional work, which is still rare.

Abstract:

Purpose With the purpose of promoting cross-field dialogue, this paper aims to review workplace learning (WPL) and human resource (HR) literature. The authors endeavour a conceptual examination and discussion of the bridges that link both research fields in relation to learning, in an effort to establish an integrated understanding of learning in workplaces. Design/methodology/approach This paper uses a scoping review focused on how learning is approached in WPL and HR studies. An analysis of the selected literature reveals fundamental themes and dimensions that further our understanding of learning in the context of work. Findings Overall, there are three learning dimensions where WPL and HR conceptually interrelate, namely, skills, incentives and work design. The scoping review also shows that HR is output-oriented and looks to learning as capital for enterprises, especially in light of enterprise performance for competence development. WPL centres more upon socio-cultural and practice-based configurations and the individual. It encompasses the human dimension of learning as something enriching the whole of life, including work life. Originality/value This paper contributes with a unique inquiry into the interrelations between WPL and HR approaches to learning, highlighting the complementarity between WPL theoretical features and HR practices. At the core of our findings is that WPL becomes analytically visible through how HR learning strategies are designed and deployed in the forms of skill development, incentive structures and work design, referring to both workplace structure and cultural features.

Abstract:

On the basis of 17 interviews with employers and 272 survey responses from employees, we explore the perceptions of a Workplace Parking Levy (WPL) in Cardiff, with the aim of understanding if a WPL would be an acceptable traffic demand management policy to tackle traffic congestion. We find that employers would not be very supportive of a WPL, whilst employees would, provided employers were to absorb the costs. Despite this support, the majority of those who drive to work would not be prepared to change mode. An important theme throughout the study was the perception of public transport and active travel provision in Cardiff being inadequate. Most study participants felt that investment in public transport and active travel is needed before a WPL is introduced. We conclude that, although a WPL would not be overwhelmingly acceptable to employers and employees, it would be more acceptable than congestion charging, and there is a possibility that acceptability could be increased with the help of feedback from a public consultation.

Abstract:

1051 Background: The international, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase III ML-7 trial (NCT02278120) assessed ribociclib + endocrine therapy (ET) vs ET alone in premenopausal women with HR+/HER2– ABC. To our knowledge, the relationship between WPL and domains of the EORTC QLQ-C30 and the tumor-specific module for breast cancer (QLQ-BR23) has not been explored in ABC. In this post hoc analysis (data cutoff, November 30, 2018) of all patients (pts) enrolled in ML-7, we assessed the correlation between the WPL component of the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment: General Health (WPAI:GH) questionnaire and domains of the EORTC QLQ-C30/BR23. Methods: We analyzed EORTC and WPAI:GH data from all pts enrolled in ML-7 who were employed at any point during the trial (N = 329 of 672 total pts). Domains of the EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-BR23 that had the greatest correlation (pairwise Pearson correlation) with WPL were prioritized for analysis. Separate univariable mixed-model repeated-measures regression models were fitted for each domain, with WPL as the dependent variable and each EORTC domain as a single fixed-effect covariate. Linear and quadratic relationships were considered. Model selection was based on the Akaike information criterion (AIC). Results: Linear models were favored over quadratic models. WPL was negatively correlated with global health status (GHS) and the physical, role, social, and emotional functioning domains and was positively correlated with the fatigue and pain domains of the QLQ-C30 ( P <.001; Table). The coefficients indicated the estimated mean change in WPL was associated with a 1-unit increase in each QLQ-C30 domain. For example, a 10-point increase in GHS was associated with an estimated mean decrease of 7.8% (95% CI, 7.1%-8.5%) in WPL. Conclusions: Greater WPL was associated with higher levels of fatigue and pain and with lower levels of overall quality of life and physical, role, social, and emotional functioning among pts with HR+/HER2− ABC in ML-7. Further investigation of the correlation with QLQ-BR23 and multivariable analysis could determine which EORTC domains and items independently drive these findings.

Abstract:

Purpose Although there is a large body of literature available on the foundations of workplace learning (WPL), little is known about designated research methods that systematically combine intervention, design and learning at work. The purpose of this study is to propose action design research as an alternative method for organizing WPL in general and facilitating pedagogically rich activities in particular. Design/methodology/approach This research used a case study approach to focus the action design research method and exemplify its utility through two case studies that emphasize WPL in general and how the method can be used to facilitate pedagogically rich activities in particular. Findings The results of the case studies indicate that the action design research method had a significantly positive effect on organizing WPL in organizations systematically, as well as creating a narrative that structures the research process and its outcomes. Originality/value The findings help scholars that are in need of organizing WPL research in a systematic way. The findings do also help practitioners in organizations to solve real-world problems and develop new knowledge jointly together with scholars. Consequently, the findings contribute to the existing literature by exemplifying how to facilitate pedagogically rich activities and disseminate the outcomes of doing so in a formalized way.

Abstract:

Cross-national studies of women's political leadership (WPL) usually focus on female prime ministers and presidents or numbers of women in parliament. While illuminating, these studies fail to provide a comprehensive assessment of WPL in a particular place and time. Addressing this gap in the literature, we assert that WPL is inherently contingent upon the theoretical concepts of “structural power” and “male dominance,” encompassing multiple formal apex political decision-making institutions. In accordance with this perspective, we have constructed a novel women's political leadership index based on collective leadership across judicial (high court judges), executive (cabinet ministers), and legislative (parliamentary committee chairs) branches of governments to capture both thepresenceof women among political leaders and theirbalanceacross institutions. Applying our index to 21 diverse territories in Asia, we demonstrate the utility of our approach through a series of country case studies illustrating four prominent patterns of WPL: exclusion, illusion, imbalance, and balance. We conclude by discussing the potential benefits of globally expanding the scope of the index.

Abstract:

In recent years, developing Indoor Positioning System (IPS) has become an attractive research topic due to the increasing demands on Location-Based Service (LBS) in indoor environment. Several advantages of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Technology, such as anti-interference, small, light and portable size of RFID tags, and its unique identification of different objects, make it superior to other wireless communication technologies for indoor positioning. However, certain drawbacks of existing RFID-based IPSs, such as high cost of RFID readers and active tags, as well as heavy dependence on the density of reference tags to provide the LBS, largely limit the application of RFID-based IPS. In order to overcome these drawbacks, we develop a cost-efficient RFID-based IPS by using cheaper active RFID tags and sensors. Furthermore, we also proposed three localization algorithms: Weighted Path Loss (WPL), Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) and integrated WPL-ELM. WPL is a centralized model-based approach which does not require any reference tags and provides accurate location estimation of the target effectively. ELM is a machine learning fingerprinting-based localization algorithm which can provide higher localization accuracy than other existing fingerprinting-based approaches. The integrated WPL-ELM approach combines the fast estimation of WPL and the high localization accuracy of ELM. Based on the experimental results, this integrated approach provides a higher localization efficiency and accuracy than existing approaches, e.g., the LANDMARC approach and the support vector machine for regression (SVR) approach.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the ability of whey-protein and leucine supplementation to enhance physical and cognitive performance and body composition. Thirty moderately fit participants completed a modified Air Force fitness test, a computer-based cognition test, and a dual-energy X-ray-absorptiometry scan for body composition before and after supplementing their daily diet for 8 wk with either 19.7 g of whey protein and 6.2 g leucine (WPL) or a calorie-equivalent placebo (P). Bench-press performance increased significantly from Week 1 to Week 8 in the WPL group, whereas the increase in the P group was not significant. Push-up performance increased significantly for WPL, and P showed a nonsignificant increase. Total mass, fat-free mass, and lean body mass all increased significantly in the WPL group but showed no change in the P group. No differences were observed within or between groups for crunches, chin-ups, 3-mile-run time, or cognition. The authors conclude that supplementing with whey protein and leucine may provide an advantage to people whose performance benefits from increased upper body strength and/or lean body mass.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to draw attention to older workers (OWs)’ subjective engagement in working and learning in the manufacturing industry. Workplace learning (WPL) literature rarely considers the subjective side of learning from a cultural historical activity theory (CHAT) account. Design/methodology/approach – The paper adopts a CHAT-influenced perspective: learning is a cultural and collective process and a dimension of activity. Subjectivity is conceptualized through the ideas developed by A.N. Leontiev. The design takes the form of multiple embedded case studies, within two companies which approximate two types of production strategies, mass production and flexible specialization. OWs were interviewed about their professional lives. Findings – The subjective side of WPL is differentiated by the two types of production strategies. These strategies, together with other life experiences, create different opportunities for the OWs’ subjective engagement. Motives for WPL are linked to the needs for learning in the workplace, and to the ideal image that OWs have of their workplace. Research limitations/implications – The theoretical framework requires an interdisciplinary study and leads to conclusive remarks which overcome the boundary of the educational field. More investigation is needed about the gender issue. Originality/value – This paper enlarges the view on WPL for OWs by using the concept of the “object of activity” to connect industrial practices and OWs’ subjectivities. This concept has been used to explore the motivational aspects of learning in an original way. The findings of this paper will assist policy-makers to better understand WPL and the production strategies implications supported through industrial policies.

Abstract:

Friheten att kunna sitta på balkongen och surfa, chatta, läsa e-post med mera har blivit en självklarhet för de allra flesta, nya spelkonsoler med trådlös teknik gör att spelaren kan interagera mer med handlingen i spelet, personvågar som mäter vikt, BMI och fettmassa och överför denna information till en server trådlöst där användaren kan följa sin viktkurva och så vidare. I stort sett allt som kan vara trådlöst är trådlöst idag. Med de uppenbara fördelarna av att använda trådlös kommunikation och de mängder med nya enheter som stödjer detta så är det ingen nyhet att trådlöst är här för att stanna. Trådlös kommunikation finns överallt omkring oss, men det är inte alltid den är implementerad på ett sätt som sätter säkerheten först. En av svagheterna i att allt fler enheter stödjer trådlöst är att det krävs en viss teknisk kunskap för att konfigurera dessa på ett säkert sätt. Ointresse eller okunskap gör att val av kryptering och lösenord inte prioriteras hos en del användare där funktionen ses som det viktigaste. Idag finns det tre olika krypteringslösningar som är i bruk, alla tre har svagheter som kan utnyttjas. WEP - Wired Equivalent Privacy var den första krypterinslösningen för trådlös kommunikation, som hörs på namnet skulle vara lika säkert som det trådbundna. WEP knäcks snabbt och rekommenderas inte att användas av någon. WPA - Wi-Fi Protected Access anses vara nödlösningen medan arbetet på WPA2 pågick. WPA2 släpptes kort efter WPA och anses fortfarande säker om under vissa förutsättningar, mer om detta längre fram i rapporten. Även om WPA2 konfigureras rätt kan intrång ske om inte administrationsverktygen, som till exempel WPS, är säkra. WPS - Wi-Fi Protected Setup är en lösning för att snabbt och enkelt koppla in nya enheter till nätverk med högsta möjliga säkerhet utan att de som installerar enheterna behöver vara så tekniskt bevandrade. WPS knäcktes så sent som i slutet av december 2011 och kan komma att påverka säkerheten för miljontals användare då alla större tillverkare har någon form av WPS-funktion på sina accesspunkter. Denna rapport beskriver en kartläggning av svagheter, även kallat wardriving, det är ett sätt att undersöka vilka trådlösa nätverk som finns inom ett givet område. Wardriving är på inget sätt ett intrång i någons nätverk, inga data skickas och inga resurser på någons nätverk används. Det enda som sker är att mjukvara söker efter trådlösa nätverk och sparar information som sänds ut.

Abstract:

I en tid då datorer, mobiler och andra enheter som kan ansluta till ett WLAN är stor, kommer säkerheten i dessa WLAN spela en stor roll. Det som skiljer WLAN och LAN när det kommer till säkerheten är att informationen måste färdas trådlöst i luften, vilket kan medföra att obehöriga kan lyssna av eller försöka koppla upp sig mot det trådlösa nätverket. Valet och implementationen av kryptering av WLAN för SME och privatpersoner har en stor inverkan på säkerheten i ens WLAN. Hur enkelt är det för en obehörig person att ta sig in på ett WLAN? Denna undersökning testar WLAN som använder WEP, WPA/WPA2 PSK och WPS med hjälp av en brute force attack för att avgöra om krypteringprotokollen är lämpliga att använda sig av. Testet simuleras med en obehörig laptop som försöker ta sig in in WLAN med brute force på WLAN som använder WEP, WPA/WPA2 PSK och WPS. Program som aircrack-ng och airgeddon används för att utföra testerna.

Abstract:

The use of wood-plastic composites, WPC, in commercial products is today limited. Current WPC products on the market are to a large extent limited to extruded products. There are strong reasons to increase the use of WPC. WPC can be manufactured from used plastic that otherwise cannot be recycled. This paper gives a brief description of the manufacturing of WPC, including wood filler treatment, the role of coupling agents and compounding. It describes the machinery used for producing WPC, and gives a introduction to mold manufacturing.The use of WPC as an alternative to pure thermoplastics in injection molding processes is discussed. Furthermore it is described how WPCs differ from pure thermoplastics in terms of chemical and physical properties. The paper also describes the consequences of these properties in an injection molding cycle. The work finally puts focus on how to obtain process optimization through better understanding of pressure and temperature throughout the injection molding cycle.

Ziel der Untersuchung war es, eine Charakterisierung des Dauerlaufverhaltens dynamisch und tribologisch belasteter Maschinenteile aus Wood Polymer Composite (WPC) in tragenden Anwendungen durchzuführen. Zu diesem Zweck wurde ein Hybridprofil aus Aluminium und WPC (70% PP, 30 % Weichholz) zu dem bestehenden Profil aus Aluminium in ein Hängefördersystem eingebaut und die dynamische Belastung (Vertikalbeschleunigung) auf das Fördergut während des Anlagenbetriebes gemessen. Im Testbetrieb wurde das System mit Ersatzlasten beladen und die Amplituden der Vertikalbeschleunigung zu Versuchsbeginn und deren Veränderung nach 1000h Laufzeit hinsichtlich beider Profilarten bewertet und das Hybridprofil auf sichtbare Schäden überprüft. Zu Beginn und nach 1000h Versuchszeit waren keine relevanten Veränderungen des charakteristischen Beschleunigungsbildes bezüglich beider Profilaufbauten feststellbar. Trotz Verschleiß am Antrieb des Fördersystems blieb das Hybridprofil voll funktionsfähig (kein sichtbarer Verschleiß, keine merkliche Schädigung). Darauf aufbauend wird der Versuch mit höherer Belastung fortgesetzt und die Entwicklung eines Profils, welches nur aus WPC besteht, vorangetrieben
Aim of the study was to analyze the characteristics of dynamic and tribological stressed wood polymer machine elements. For this purpose an endurance test with an overhead conveyor was executed. A sectional beam in hybrid design (Aluminum & WPC [70 % PP / 30 % softwood]) was implemented in this aluminum beam overhead conveyor. During the conveying process the vertical acceleration of the transported material (dummy loads) was measured. At the beginning of the endurance test the acceleration patterns of the aluminum and the hybrid beams did not differ. Despite of mechanical wear of the drive system after 1000 operating hours, alterations of the acceleration patterns still could not be detected in the different beams. The hybrid beam remained fully functional with no visible wear or damage after 1000 operating hours. Based on these encouraging results the endurance test is continued with enhanced dummy loads and the development of a beam completely composed of WPC is aspired

Abstract:

På uppdrag av Järnvägsgruppen på KTH skulle interaktionen mellan kontaktledning och pantograf simuleras och analyseras. Detta för att kunna presentera ett förbättrat konstruktionsförslag på pantografen som skulle leda till en jämnare kontaktkraft vid höghastighetsdrift, 300 km/h. Den dynamiska simuleringen byggde på en befintlig pantograf, WBL 88, som tillverkas av Schunk och används i Sverige på höghastighetståget X2000. Kontaktledningen består av koppar som sprids i naturen när den nöts. Då kopparpartiklar är hälsofarligt har aluminium studerats och jämförts som en potentiell ersättare. Materialjämförelsen har behandlat nötningsvolym, konduktivitet, hållfasthet och miljöaspekter. För att kunna analysera interaktionen mellan kontaktledning och pantograf har den dynamiska simuleringen genomförts i MD Adams/View 2011 där pantografens parametrar varierats för att få en jämnare kontaktkraft. Materialjämförelsen grundar sig på beräkningar som kan relateras till materialens mekaniska egenskaper. Den dynamiska simuleringen gav en jämnare kontaktkraft genom att reducera kontaktskenans vikt samt öka dess fjäderstyvhet och dämpning. Dessa förändringar resulterade i att kontaktskenan lättare kunde följa kontaktledningen utan att tappa kontakten. Materialjämförelsen gav att koppar har för ändamålet och med befintlig utformning av kontaktledningen bättre mekaniska egenskaper än aluminium.
On behalf of the Railway Group at KTH the interaction between a pantograph and the overhead catenary wire was simulated and analyzed. The purpose of this was to present an improved design suggestion of the pantograph that would lead to a more even contact force at high speed operation, 300 km/h. The dynamic simulation was based on an existing pantograph, WBL 88, manufactured by Schunk and is currently used in Sweden on the highspeed train X2000. The catenary is made of copper which is spread in the environment due to wear. Since copper particles are harmful, aluminum has been studied and compared as an alternative material. The material comparison includes wear volume, conductivity, strength and environmental aspects. In order to analyze the interaction between the catenary and the pantograph, dynamic simulations were carried out in MD Adams/View 2011. During the simulations, the parameters of the pantograph have been varied to obtain an improved and more even contact force. The material comparison is based on calculations that can be related to the mechanical properties of the materials. The results of the dynamic simulation showed that by reducing the weight of the contact strip and increasing its spring stiffness and damping, the contact force became less varied and more even. The changes of the parameters lead to that the contact strip could more easily follow the catenary without losing contact. The material comparison showed that copper has better mechanical properties for the specific purpose than aluminum.

Abstract:

Die im Folgenden vorgestellten Arbeiten sollen zur Erweiterung der Einsatzmöglichkeiten von WPC-Bauteilen beitragen, wobei die Untersuchung möglicher Fügetechnologien und ein praxisnahes Anwendungsbeispiel die Schwerpunkte bilden. Mittels Heizelement- und Vibrationsschweißens ist es gelungen, WPC-Bauteile sowohl mit gleichen Materialien als auch mit dem jeweiligen reinen Matrixmaterialien in Mischbauweisen zu verbinden. Deutlich werden hierbei verfahrensbedingte Einflüsse der Temperaturen bzw. des Energieeintrages, der Krafteinleitung (Fügedruck) sowie rezepturbedingte Einflüsse des Anteiles von Haftvermittlern. Durch entsprechende Verfahrensführung können Festigkeiten der Schweißverbindung im Bereich der WPC-Grundmaterialfestigkeit erreicht werden. Im Praxistest wurde das Dauerlaufverhalten eines Hybridprofils aus Aluminium und WPC in einem Hängefördersystem unter dynamischen Belastungen untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die WPC-Bauteile des Hybriden den unterschiedlichen Beanspruchungen und den daraus resultierenden Verformungen nach in Summe 3000 h Testbetrieb, ohne sichtbare Schäden standhielten. Weiterhin waren keine Nachteile bezüglich der Praxistauglichkeit im Vergleich zu dem Standardprofil aus Aluminium feststellbar.

Abstract:

The safety and reliability of all systems has to be maintained throughout the lifetime of a nuclear power plant. Continuous R&D work is needed in targeted areas to meet the challenges of long term operation of existing designs and for the GEN-III designs. A special focus is placed on reactor coolant pressure boundary (RCPB) components, because its integrity and functionality from the time of first operation until end of life is required to ensure plant safety. The overall objective of STYLE is to assess, optimize and develop the use of advanced tools for the structural integrity assessment of RCPB components relevant to ageing and life time management and to support the integration of the knowledge created in the project into mainstream nuclear industry assessment codes. The project concept is based on carefully selected research topics, which thematically cover the complex multidisciplinary character of structural assessment of RCPB components. The prioritization of the work reflects the needs of industrial end-users and assessment of currently available techniques and data at European and international level. This paper describes the current status of the project STYLE and summarizes its main results achieved up to date (Feb 2013). The project is coordinated by AREVA GmbH with 20 partner organizations from Europe, one collaborator from USA and one collaborator from Russia: AREVA GmbH, Germany (coordination, WP2 leader) AREVA SAS, France Bay Zoltan, Hungary CEA, France (WP1 leader) EDF, France EDF Energy Ltd., UK (WP7 leader) EK, Hungary IdS, France INR, Romania IWM, Germany JRC, Netherlands (WP4 leader) NRI, Czech Republic NRG, Netherlands SCK-CEN, Belgium AMEC, UK (WP3 and WP5 leader) University of Bristol, UK University of Manchester, UK Tecnatom, Spain Vattenfall, Sweden (WP6 leader) VTT, Finland ORNL, USA NIKIET, Russia

Abstract:

In some aero-engine applications a spiral bevel gear is mounted in a bearing chamber. The windage power losses (WPL) associated with the gear make a significant contribution to the overall heat generation within the bearing chamber and a potential method of WPL reduction and lubrication/cooling oil management is to shroud the gear. At the University of Nottingham Technology Centre in Gas Turbine Transmission Systems experimental and computational techniques are being applied to enhance understanding of shroud performance and design. This paper presents results from the first stage of the investigation in which the windage losses associated with rotating an unmeshed spiral bevel gear in air have been studied. The potential to reduce gear WPL by shrouding is clearly demonstrated with the WPL for the shrouded gear reduced on average by 75% for clockwise rotation and by 70% for anticlockwise rotation. Given the physical similarity between a shrouded gear and a centrifugal fan an attempt was made to characterize the performance of the shrouded gear in a similar manner to that used for a centrifugal fan i.e. as a function of the mass flow rate of air flowing through the shroud. It is demonstrated that in many aspects the gear performance was analogous to centrifugal fan behavior. It is further demonstrated that fan design approaches could be adopted to inform the detail of the shroud design and to translate test rig performance to different operating conditions.

Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new EUROATOM project focusing on the structural integrity assessment of reactor coolant pressure boundary components (RCPB) relevant to ageing and life time management. The project started in January 2010 and will last 4 years. The project is coordinated by AREVA NP GmbH with 20 partner organizations from Europe, one collaborator from USA and one collaborator from Russia: AEKI, Hungary; AREVA NP GmbH, Germany (coordination, WP2 leader); AREVA NP SAS, France; Bay Zoltan, Hungary; British Energy Generation Ltd., UK (WP7 leader); CEA, France (WP1 leader); EDF, France; IdS, France; INR, Romania; IWM, Germany; JRC, Netherlands (WP4 leader); NRI, Czech Republik; NRG, Netherlands; SCK-CEN, Belgium; Serco Assurance Technical Services, UK (WP3 and WP5 leader); University of Bristol, UK; University of Manchester, UK; Technatom, Spain; Vattenfall, Sweden (WP6 leader); VTT, Finland. Within STYLE (Structural integrity for lifetime management – non-RPV components) realistic failure models for some of the key components will be identified. The range of assessment tools considered will include those for assessment of component failure by advanced fracture mechanics analyses validated on small and large scale experiments, quantification of weld residual stresses by numerical analysis and by measurements, stress corrosion crack initiation/ growth effects and assessment of RCPB components (excluding the reactor pressure vessel) under dynamic and seismic loading. Based on theoretical and experimental results, performance assessment and further development of simplified engineering assessment methods (EAM) will be carried out considering both deterministic and probabilistic approaches. Integrity assessment case studies and large scale demonstration experiments will be performed on Mock-ups of safety-relevant components. These will include a repair weld in an aged butt-welded austenitic pipe, a dissimilar narrow gap TIG weld (following the EPR design) and a cladded ferritic pipe. Moreover experiments on specimens and feature test pieces will be carried out to support the large scale Mock-up analyses. The end product of the project (“STYLE TOOLS”) will comprise best practice guidelines on the use of advanced tools, on improvement and qualification of EAM as a part of European Leak-before-break (LBB) procedures and on life time management of the integrity of RCPB components in European nuclear power plants. The project will interact with the European Network of Excellence NULIFE.

Abstract:

The objective of the Joint Industry Project Wave impact on Fixed foundations (WiFi JIP) was to increase the understanding of breaking and steep wave impact’s on fixed foundations of offshore wind turbines (OWT). The project was set-up as a Joint Industry Project (JIP) and in total 20 companies and research institutes participated in the project. In this paper a summary of the complete WiFi JIP project will be presented. At the start of the project the state of the art design methods and guidelines were reviewed (WP1). Thereafter a jacket and a monopile foundation were designed using these state-of-the-art tools that were available at the start of the project. This effort has been reported in WP2 , where design computations were carried out using the embedded stream function approach for several sea states. In this WP Siemens, ECN and Ramboll also calculated the impact response of the monopile to surging and spilling type wave breakers with their engineering tools. In the next phase the designed foundations were tested in MARIN’s shallow water model basin. The foundation for the monopile was modelled as a rigid and flexible foundation. The foundations were tested in regular waves, irregular sea states and so called focused waves. During the model tests the wave heights, wave run-up, accelerations, impact pressures and loads on the foundation and boat landing were measured. The model test results were reported in WP3 and 7 and used as validation for WP9 and 10. WP4 delivered more understanding of realistic design conditions for areas typical for OWT, like the North Sea. Particular attention was paid to the probability of occurrence of breaking and steep waves and the associated slamming load. For this an extensive 5 week experimental program was performed from September to October 2013 in the wide wave-current flume at Deltares (Atlantic Basin). During these tests both waves and current were simulated and two bathymetries. WP8 provided analyses of the performed full scale measurements on the response of a OWT. The full-scale measurements were done for a Vestas V90 3MW wind turbine in the Belwind windfarm which is located 46 km off the coast of Zeebrugge on the Bligh Bank. The CFD simulations performed in WP 9 showed that a good agreement is obtained between the CFD simulations and the model and full scale measurement. In work package 10, an improved methodology was developed based on the outcome of the previous WP’s to model the breaking wave impact of plunging type breakers. In WP11 and 12 this new approach is applied on different case study’s by ECN.

Abstract:

This paper synthesises the results of three participatory action research (PAR) studies undertaken to improve the integration of evidence-based practice (EBP) education in three undergraduate health courses at one Australian university: Bachelor of Nursing, Bachelor of Occupational Therapy, and Bachelor of Physiotherapy. The PAR process with interested academics uncovered a range of EBP education strengths and weaknesses in the three courses. Common themes were evident, which are likely to be applicable in other similar courses. Identified weaknesses included a lack of explicit teaching about the meaning, principles, steps, and importance of EBP, partly stemming from a lack of shared understanding. A relative lack of emphasis on certain EBP steps was also noted, particularly the first step of ‘asking’ questions. A lack of communication with workplace learning (WPL) supervisors about how to facilitate EBP was also noted, raising concerns about variable EBP-education quality across WPL settings. Opportunities for improvement were identified by academics in each course, across multiple subjects and year levels. In our experience, PAR has been a highly constructive approach to EBP curriculum improvement. We encourage consideration of a PAR approach for addressing similarly complex curriculum challenges.

Full text

Abstract:

In many aeroengines the accessory power offtake is achieved using a spiral bevel gear set running off one of the main shafts. The crown and bevel gears are housed in an internal gearbox and there is significant heat generation within this chamber, some of which is attributed to windage power loss (WPL) generated by the gear. Over the past few years the University of Nottingham Technology Centre (UTC) in Gas Turbine Transmissions has been researching spiral bevel gear windage power loss both computationally and experimentally using a purpose-built test rig at the UTC. In this study the test rig has been adapted such that chamber pressures up to 8 bar can be generated. Test data has been obtained that shows the effect on WPL of chamber pressure, advancing understanding of the relationship between data obtained at ambient and pressurised conditions. Three configurations have been studied: unshrouded gear, gear with 360° shroud and shrouded, crown and pinion meshing pair. Further, the effect of oil mist within the chamber on WPL has been studied. An oil mist generation system was developed for introducing a fine mist into the chamber and results are presented for varying mist flowrates. A mist measurement system was developed to sample mist mass fraction within the chamber and the data obtained is used to calculate an effective (oil/gas mixture) chamber density. Increasing chamber pressure increases Reynolds number, moving the system behavior further along the Moment coefficient-Reynolds number correlation. The Cm-Re correlation is similar in form to that for a shrouded cone, showing transitional behavior around Re = 2×106. Beyond transition Cm decreases with increasing Re. Introducing an oil spray has two effects: reduction in chamber temperature and increase in effective density of chamber fluid. Both effects can be accounted for by calculating Re and Cm based on mixture properties but it seems highly likely that the properties of the fluid under the shroud differ from those of the fluid in the external chamber.

Abstract:

In many aero-engines the power to drive accessories is transmitted through high speed bevel gears in a chamber in the center of the engine. The windage power loss (WPL) associated with these gears makes a significant contribution to the overall heat generation within the chamber. Shrouding the gears provides an effective method of reducing this WPL and managing the flow of lubricating oil. Experimental and computational programs at the University of Nottingham Technology Centre in Gas Turbine Transmission Systems are providing an improved understanding of shroud performance and design. This paper presents results from a pair of shrouded meshing gears run at representative speeds and oil flow in a rig with speed and torque measurement. A previously published study of a single bevel gear operating in air [1] found a reduction in torque of up to 70% from shrouding. In this work the addition of oil and the pinion gear did not lead to high torque due to the build up of oil under the shrouds, but the reduction in torque due to fitting the shrouds is significantly less than was found for the same gear in air alone. In order to isolate the various parameters, further testing with a single gear was carried out. A fully (360 degree) shrouded gear shows a big improvement over an unshrouded gear when running in air alone, but much of this benefit disappears as soon as a very small amount of oil is introduced under the shroud. This implies that the oil is recirculating under the shroud. Increasing the oil flow beyond this initial level increases the torque by the amount required to accelerate the oil mass flow up to the peripheral speed of the gear. Providing a full width slot in the shroud downstream of the oil jet allows the oil to escape without any recirculation and restores much of the benefit of the shroud. Further insight into the oil behavior is obtained from torque measurements and observations through a transparent shroud and with various slot configurations. Video observation shows evidence of a vortex flow under the shroud that carries some of the oil towards the inner diameter of the gear. The three main windage contributors, air alone, recirculation of oil under the shroud and acceleration of the feed oil are quantified and methods for achieving the optimum design are discussed.

Abstract:

Abstract The main objective and mission of the ATLAS+ project is to develop advanced structural assessment tools to address the remaining technology gaps for the safe and long term operation of nuclear reactor pressure coolant boundary systems. ATLAS+ WP3 focuses mainly on ductile tearing prediction for large defect in components: Several approaches have been developed to accurately model the ductile tearing process and to take into account phenomena such as the triaxiality effect, or the ability to predict large tearing in industrial components. These advanced models include local approach coupled models or advanced energetic approaches. Unfortunately, the application of these tools is today rather limited to R&D expertise. However, because of the continuous progress in the performance of the calculation tools and accumulated knowledge, in particular by members of ATLAS+, these models can now be considered as relevant for application in the context of engineering assessments. WP3 will therefore: • Illustrate the implementation of these models for industrial applications through the interpretation of large scale mock-ups (with cracks in weld joints for some of them), • Make recommendations for the implementation of the advanced models in engineering assessments, • Correct data from the conventional engineering approach by developing a methodology to produce J-Δa curve suitable case by case, based on local approach models, • Improve the tools, guidance and procedures for undertaking leak-before-break (LBB) assessments of piping components, particularly in relation to representing structural representative fracture toughness J-Resistance curves and the influence of weld residual stresses. To achieve these goals, WP3 is divided into 4 sub-WPs and this paper presents the progress of the work performed in each sub-WP after 24 months of activities.

Abstract:

Connecting the Dots examines the normative and practical overlaps and connections of the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda with the field of arms control and disarmament. Using an original approach to gender-responsive arms control and disarmament measures that is structured around the four WPS pillars of participation, prevention, protection, and relief and recovery, this report identifies current best practices and areas for further action. The report shows that further integration can bring benefits for both fields. For the arms control and disarmament community, the WPS pillars give structure and guidance to the comprehensive integration of gender perspectives, which thus far has been a piecemeal effort.
