The 3-way valve have been used as a valve for opening and closing the valve by the flow control in the pressure system of the cryogenic and high pressure environment. In this paper, numerical analysis and experimental study on fracture nipple of 3-way ultra high pressure valve applied to space launch vehicle was carried out. We have developed a 3-way valve numerical simulation modeler of cryogenic environment using commercial software ANSYS 18.2. As results of numerical analysis, optimum nipple condition was derived. In addition, a 3-way valve prototype was fabricated and the fracture test was performed and compared with the numerical analysis results.

Dental brackets are widely used by the orthodontists to correct the misalignment of teeth in the mouth over a long period of time. In this study, finite element analysis of orthodontic bracket has been carried out for the observation of the stress distribution and deformation pattern in the different materials bracket (Stainless Steel, Ceramic, Titanium, Polycarbonate and Nitinol) when subjected to arch wire torsion and tipping force. The simulation results were further optimized with respect to bracket attachment surface. It was found that it is possible to know the change in result is correlated with the attachment surface of the stress and deformation due to change in diameter. The results confirmed that the finite element method has proved to be successful for proper design analysis for future development of the teeth bracket.

Numerous experiments have demonstrated that infrared thermographic methods are effective for detection of subsurface defects in the materials. The response of the material to the thermal stimulus is dependent on the existence of subsurface defects and their features. In order to obtain the information about defects, the material’s response to the thermal stimulus is studied. In this study, image processing was applied to infrared thermography images to detect defects in metals that were widely used in industrial fields. When analyzing experimental data from infrared thermographic testing, thermal images were often not appropriate. Thus, four point method was used for processing of every pixel of thermal images using MATLAB program for quantitative evaluation of defect detection and characterization which increased the infrared non-destructive testing capabilities since subtle defects signature became apparent..
