Abstract:
There is nothing more inscribed nor thought nor felt and this must comfort the heart’s core against Its false disasters - these fathers standing round. These mothers touching, speaking, being near. These lovers waiting In the soft dry grass. [Wallace Stevens. “Credences of Summer”!“I have come to regard the law courts not as a cathedral but rather as a casino”. [Richard Ingrams, former Editor of Private Eye.]Before entering into discussion of the substantive topic, it should be said that Australian Family Law is, in one sense at least, always new. It is without question one of the most scrutinised areas of Australian Law: the Family Law Act 1975 has been amended no less than thirty four times since its coming into force in February 1976, sometimes extensively; it has been the subject of two reports of Joint Select Committees of the Australian Parliament, in 1980 (Bates, 1980) and 1992 (below). In addition, its operation and administration is under continual scrutiny from two statutory bodies – the Family Law Council (Family Law Act 1975 s115) and the Australian Institute of Family Studies (Family Law Act 1975 Part XIVB).

Abstract:
Since the Australian Institute of Family Studies was established in 1980, we have kept in mind two slogans about family links and supports: ‘Every individual has a family’; and ‘The family does not stop at the front door’. What we meant was that family policy cannot be based solely on a static image of parents and children living together under the one roof.Most families start off as a couple, then go through a stage of parents and children living in one household. But once the children have grown and gone, does the couple no longer have a family? If the parents separate or divorce, do the children not have any family? When a partner dies or the children are grown, the family still exists, though the patterns of interaction have changed. Thus family policy has to address the nature of these interactions, across households and across time.

Abstract:
The Australian Twin Registry (ATR) is a national volunteer resource of twin pairs and higher-order multiples willing to consider participating in health, medical, and scientific research. The vision of the ATR is ‘to realize the full potential of research involving twins to improve the health and well-being of all Australians’. The ATR has been funded continuously by the National Health and Medical Council for more than 30 years. Its core functions entail the recruitment and retention of twin members, the maintenance of an up-to-date database containing members’ contact details and baseline information, and the promotion and provision of open access to researchers from all institutes in Australia, and their collaborators, in a fair and equitable manner. The ATR is administered by The University of Melbourne, which acts as custodian. Since the late 1970s the ATR has enrolled more than 40,000 twin pairs of all zygosities and facilitated more than 500 studies that have produced at least 700 peer-reviewed publications from classical twin studies, co-twin control studies, within-pair comparisons, twin family studies, longitudinal twin studies, randomized controlled trials, and epigenetics studies, as well as studies of issues specific to twins. New initiatives include: a Health and Life Style Questionnaire; data collection, management, and archiving using a secure online software program (The Ark); and the International Network of Twin Registries. The ATR's expertise and 30 years of experience in providing services to national and international twin studies has made it an important resource for research across a broad range of disciplines.

Abstract:
Young adulthood is a period of transition, which for many includes higher education. Higher education is associated with specific risks to wellbeing. Understanding the available data on wellbeing in this group may help inform the future collection of data to inform policy and practice in the sector. This scoping review aimed to identify the availability of data sources on the wellbeing of the Australian young adult population who are attending tertiary education. Using the methods of Arksey and O’Malley, data from three primary sources, i.e., Australian Bureau of Statistics, Australian Institute of Health and Welfare and relevant longitudinal studies, were identified. Data sources were screened and coded, and relevant information was extracted. Key data for eight areas related to wellbeing, namely, family and community, health, education and training, work, economic wellbeing, housing, crime and justice, and culture and leisure sources were identified. Forty individual data sets from 16 surveys and six active longitudinal studies were identified. Two data sets contained seven of the areas of wellbeing, of which one was specific to young adults in tertiary education, while the other survey was not limited to young adults. Both data sets lacked information concerning crime and justice variables, which have recently been identified as being of major concern among Australian university students. We recommend that government policy address the collection of a comprehensive data set encompassing each of the eight areas of wellbeing to inform future policy and practice.

Abstract:
After 25 years with the Australian Journal of Chemistry, our editor, Dr Jan R. Zdysiewicz (known far and wide as John Z.), has recently retired. During his initial ten year period with the journal, John served as assistant editor under Bob Schoenfeld who, like John, was also very widely known throughout the Australian and New Zealand chemistry community. In 1985, John took up the editorship and under his editorial management the journal has continued to prosper. John has been an exceptionally talented editor who, despite increasing pressures over more recent times, has managed to maintain the journal’s very high editorial standard – a task aided by his wide understanding of chemistry and his truly exceptional knowledge of English usage. John had an eventful early life – details of which may be of interest to his many friends and acquaintances. He was born in Laukischken in East Prussia to parents from Mosty in eastern Poland. His parents had been taken to Germany during World War II for forced labour. After the war, the family was transferred, endlessly it seemed, from DP (displaced persons) camp to DP camp in Germany, until final acceptance for migration to Australia. After a long sea voyage on the Skaugum, the family arrived at Port Melbourne in December 1950. Then followed being shuffled between widely spread immigration holding centres in South-East Australia, finally ending up in Adelaide, where the family settled. After some difficulty in gaining enrolment, John attended Adelaide Boys High School. In 1962 at age 19, he lost his alien status and became an Australian citizen. Even during this early period, John Z. made a name for himself. He became somewhat of a celebrity for his virtuosity in playing the accordion. In 1961, he became Grand Australian Accordion Champion. On occasions, he still plays for friends and private audiences. John Z. obtained his tertiary education at the University of Adelaide. His Ph.D. research in the Department of Physical and Inorganic Chemistry was concerned with physical chemical studies on naturally occurring and synthetic polymers. He then held Post Doctoral appointments in England at the University of Lancaster (preparation and e.s.r. characterisation of radical anions), Australia at the Division of Protein Chemistry, CSIRO, Parkville (on the interactions of fluorescent compounds with protein components by photophysical techniques) and Canada at the University of Western Ontario (construction of a microsecond flash photolysis apparatus in connection with photochemical reactions involving radical ions). In 1975 he returned to Australia as the assistant editor of Aust. J. Chem. John Z. has served as the national representative on IUPAC’s Commission III.2 (on Physical Organic Chemistry) and is currently an associate member of this commission. In 1998, the Royal Australian Chemical Institute awarded him a citation for his contributions to the promotion of Australian chemistry nationally and internationally, principally through his role as editor of the journal. Finally, John is of a distinctly independent nature – perhaps a reflection of his Polish antecedents? While his management style might be said to be unique, it has always been characterised by an overriding commitment to quality. Clearly, John Zdysiewicz ranks as an exceptional individual. On behalf of my fellow advisory committee members and, indeed, also for the wider chemistry community, I thank John for a job exceedingly well done. We wish him well in his retirement.

Abstract:
Genetisk disposisjon for utvikling av svangerskapsforgiftning : Studier fra Helseundersøkelsen i Nord-Trøndelag, en familiekohort fra Australia/New Zealand og decidua basalis vev Svangerskapsforgiftning er en alvorlig komplikasjon ved graviditet, og på verdensbasis bidrar tilstanden til økt sykelighet og dødelighet for både mor og foster. Både arvelige og miljø-/livsstilsfaktorer kan påvirke risikoen for utvikling av svangerskapsforgiftning. Selv om det fortsatt er uklart hva som forårsaker sykdommen, har forståelsen økt de siste årene, og genetisk forskning har vært en viktig bidragsyter i dette. Når morkaken fester seg til livmorveggen, bryter morkakens celler ned muskellaget i livmorens forsynende blodårer, slik at morkaken etter hvert får god blodgjennomstrømning med tilgang på surstoff og næring til fosteret. Et uheldig samspill mellom fosteret og mors immunsystem ser ut til å være sentralt i sykdomsutviklingen ved svangerskapsforgiftning. Det kliniske bildet er preget av en overdrevet betennelsesreaksjon og sirkulatoriske forandringer. Dette sees også ved hjerte-kar lidelser, og svangerskapsforgiftning deler mange risikofaktorer med disse sykdommene. Kvinner som har hatt svangerskapsforgiftning har dessuten økt risiko for hjerte-kar lidelser senere i livet. Svangerskapsforgiftning viser en klar opphopning i familier, og ulike modeller for det genetiske bakteppet er blitt foreslått. Etter at man kartla hele den menneskelige arvestoffsekvensen (2003) kunne man begynne å analysere markører som er spredt i hele arvestoffet for å finne områder som påvirker risikoen for komplekse sykdommer som kreft, hjerte-kar sykdom og svangerskapsforgiftning. Da man begynte dette arbeidet trodde man at man i fremtiden ville kunne forutse sykdom hos enkeltpersoner ved å lese arvestoffsekvensen deres. Nå, syv år senere, har den teknologiske utviklingen snart gjort det mulig å lese hele arvestoffsekvensen til en person relativt raskt og til en overkommelig pris. Den genetiske forskningen som er gjort i løpet av disse årene har imidlertid endret vårt syn både på hvor stabilt og upåvirkelig arvestoffet er, og på hvor allmenn variasjonen som kan gi sykdom er. Med utgangspunkt i den andre Helseundersøkelsen i Nord-Trøndelag (HUNT2) og Norsk Fødselsregister, har vi identifisert en relativt stor populasjonskohort av kvinner som har hatt svangerskapsforgiftning og kvinner som har hatt normale svangerskap. Kohorten er godt kartlagt med epidemiologiske data og vi har tilgang til blodprøver med mulighet for analyse av biokjemiske markører og isolering av arvestoff. Dette har gjort det mulig for oss å evaluere genetiske funn gjort i andre populasjoner. Vi har også undersøkt det globale genuttrykket i en samling av prøver tatt fra decidua basalis, møtepunktet for morkake og livmorvegg/mors blodårer, hos kvinner med kompliserte og normale svangerskap. De funnene som presenteres i artiklene inkludert i denne tesen må sees i sammenheng med annen forskning for å kunne bidra til en økt forståelse av det genetiske og biologiske grunnlaget for svangerskapsforgiftning. Resultatene støtter teorien om at en forstyrret immunbalanse har betydning. Vi har knyttet TNFSF13B, et gen som er med på å regulere immuncellers aktiveringsgrad og funksjon, til svangerskapsforgiftning i den australske familiekohorten. Tidligere har dette genet vært vist å disponere for spontanabort. Vi viser også at en av de biologiske prosessene som ser ut til å være mest forstyrret ved svangerskapsforgiftning, er tryptofan metabolismen, som har betydning for normal utvikling av immunceller. Både STOX1 og notch signalveier er involvert i nydannelse av blodårer og har vært knyttet til både svangerskapsforgiftning og nevrodegenerative sykdommer. Det er derfor fremsatt en teori om at disse tilstandene kan ha et felles genetisk grunnlag, og våre observasjoner støtter betydningen av disse prosessene for utvikling av svangerskapsforgiftning. Variasjon i COMT  genet har vært vist å ha betydning både for utvikling av hjerte-kar sykdom og svangerskapsforgiftning, via regulering av cellens respons på lav oksygentilførsel. Vi bekrefter at dette genet kan bidra til risiko for svangerskapsforgiftning. Flere av forandringen som vi finner i genuttrykks studien bekrefter også den tette forbindelsen mellom oksygenering-reoksygenerings skader og svangerskapsforgiftning. Oppsummert har vi i løpet av de årene dette prosjektet har pågått opplevd en revolusjon i hvordan vi ser på genetisk variasjon som grunnlag for sykdomsutvikling. Vi har også opplevd en økende forståelse for de biologiske mekanismene som ligger bak utvikling av svangerskapsforgiftning. De funnene som presenteres her bidrar til noe av denne økte forståelsen og åpner for flere nye spørsmål. Videre forskning på dette feltet er nødvendig.

Abstract:
This thesis is an exploration of ancestral narratives in the fiction of Thomas Keneally and Christopher Koch. Initially, ancestry in literature creates an historical relationship which articulates the link between the past and the present. In this sense ancestry functions as a type of cultural memory where various issues of inheritance can be negotiated. However, the real value of ancestral narratives lies in their power to aid in the construction of both personal and communal identities. They have the potential to transform these identities, to transgress “natural” boundaries and to reshape conventional identities in the light of historical experience. For Keneally, ancestral narratives depict national forbears who “narrate the nation” into being. His earlier fictions present ancestors of the nation within a mythic and symbolic framework to outline Australian national identity. This identity is static, oppositional, and characterized by the delineation of boundaries which set nations apart from one another. However, Keneally’s more recent work transforms this conventional construction of national identity. It depicts an Irish-Australian diasporic identity which is hyphenated and transgressive: it transcends the conventional notion of nations as separate entities pitted against one another. In this way Keneally’s ancestral narratives enact the potential for transforming identity through ancestral narrative. On the other hand, Koch’s work is primarily concerned with the intergenerational trauma causes by losing or forgetting one’s ancestral narrative. His novels are concerned with male gender identity and the fragmentation which characterizes a self-destructive idea of maleness. While Keneally’s characters recover their lost ancestries in an effort to reshape their idea of what it is to be Australian, Koch’s main protagonist lives in ignorance of his ancestor’s life. He is thus unable to take the opportunity to transform his masculinity due to the pervasive cultural amnesia surrounding his family history and its role in Tasmania’s past. While Keneally and Koch depict different outcomes in their fictional ancestral narratives they are both deeply concerned with the potential to transform national and gender identities through ancestry.

Abstract:
Chapter 4 turns to the Institute of Community Studies, the Bethnal Green-based social research organization where Young and his colleague Peter Willmott published probably their best-known work, the 1957 Family and Kinship in East London. This and other Institute of Community Studies publications, such as Peter Townsend’s The Family Life of Old People, suggested that the family and extended family were crucial sources of mutual aid and social support for working-class communities, and that this aspect of working-class life had been overlooked by middle-class policy makers and urban planners who thought in terms of a more isolated and conventionally middle-class ‘nuclear’ family of parents and young children. This chapter shows that while Young and his colleagues did detect strong kinship networks in the communities they studied, their emphasis on the extended family was informed by a variety of contemporary developments in anthropology, psychology, and sociology, and by a political project to challenge the Labour Party’s emphasis on male labour and suggest that the extended family could provide an alternative to the workplace as a site of social solidarity. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the role of women in Young’s dystopian satire The Rise of the Meritocracy, which argues that Young idealized women, and the relationships between them, for being less defined by work and professional status.

Abstract:
Few women contributed to documenting Indigenous Australian languages in the nineteenth century. Brief accounts are given of six settler women who did so: Eliza Dunlop (1796–1880), Christina Smith (‘Mrs James Smith’; 1809?–1893), Harriott Barlow (1835–1929), Catherine Stow (‘K. Langloh Parker’; 1856–1940), Mary Martha Everitt (1854–1937), and Daisy May Bates (1859–1951). Their contributions are discussed against the background of forty-four other settler women who contributed to language study, translation, ethnography, or language teaching. Reasons for the relative absence of women in language documentation included family demands, child raising, and lack of education, money, and patrons, as well as alternative causes such as women’s rights. Recording Indigenous languages required metalinguistic analytic skills that were hard to learn in societies that lacked free education. Extra obstacles for publication were remoteness from European centres of research, and absence of colleagues with similar interests.

Abstract:
This experience aims at identifying an optimal rootstock for Romanian tomato and eggplant cultivars and the influence on plant yield and growth. These vegetables (tomato and eggplant) are very important crops worldwide and in Romania. Tomato and eggplant plants are very sensitive to climatic fluctuations and can affect fruit yield. Grafting on species from the Solanaceae family is a practice that increases productivity, fruit quality, resistance to diseases and pests, abiotic factors. The work was conducted at the Horting Research Institute, Romania. The biological material used was different tomato and eggplant; two scions, Siriana F1 (tomato), Luiza variety (eggplant) and a rootstock, Emperador F1 (tomato). The Emperador rootstock and others are very used in worldwide for ecological and conventional cultures. By comparing the tomato and the eggplant yield of the researched grafted and non-grafted variants it has been shown that grafted cultivars have had very good values, being higher with 19.78% and 29.13% than at non-grafted plants. Following the studies undertaken in the research greenhouse period 2019-2020, a rootstock from genus Lycopersicum (Emperador) was tested and some results are in this scientific paper.

Abstract:
In this era of increased market competitiveness and the need for cost reduction strategies, natural gas pipeline and local distribution companies are now able to control the growth of their cathodic protection (CP) pipeline maintenance costs with the emergence of several new tools and related methods for diagnosing CP problems. In the early 1990’s, corrosion control engineers at the Southern California Gas Company (SoCal) were encouraged to find new methods to reduce maintenance costs associated with the company’s approximately 173 million feet of cathodically protected pipelines, mains and services. Mindful of how the maintenance problems in their CP systems were typically being resolved, an intriguing concept was conceived that could potentially reduce these costs and increase productivity by at least 40%. Driven to become more cost efficient, SoCal and the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) in conjunction with the Gas Research Institute, now Gas Technology Institute (GTI) partnered with Radiodetection Corporation in the mid-90’s to research and design a more efficient way of troubleshooting and fault finding on CP systems. Radiodetections experience with electromagnetic detection equipment resulted in a family of non-invasive and cost-effective techniques to evaluate coating quality and to detect and record the flow of desired and interfering CP currents. The productivity gains and cost savings produced by this technology are significant. Additionally, problems that may have been difficult or impossible to detect now can be found allowing proactive and preventative maintenance. A history of these developments is discussed along with a brief review of the instruments technical aspects and capabilities. Typical field case studies are shown that demonstrate the improved corrosion control troubleshooting efficiencies available with these new technologies.

Abstract:
Aims: To estimate the prevalence of Insomnia Disorder in the household population of Qatar and explore potential associations with depressive and anxiety symptoms in addition to sociodemographic variables. Methods: Probability-based sampling was used to select a representative sample (N= 1,611) of Qatar’s household population. Face-to-face household interviews were conducted by trained staff using computer-assisted technology with consenting participants who were 18 years or older living in Qatar by the Social and Economic Research Institute (SESRI) at Qatar University as part of the Annual Omnibus survey in February/ March, 2019. The Sleep Condition Indicator (Epsie, 2014), a brief screening tool for DSM-5 criteria, was used to estimate the prevalence of insomnia in Qatar’s general population. Depressive and anxiety symptoms were ascertained using the PHQ-9 and GAD-2. Sociodemographic and health information including personal and family history of autoimmune disease were also collected. Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate statistics were conducted. Results: The prevalence of insomnia was 5.5% (95%CI: 4.3-6.7) and was higher in females (6.3%) than males (4.6%), though these differences were not statistically significant (P = 0.216). Insomnia was strongly associated with depressive (OR=5.4, P<0.01) and anxiety symptoms (OR=3.0, P<0.05). Having one or more autoimmune diseases were strongly associated with insomnia (OR=3.9, P<0.001) in Qatar’s general population. Insomnia was positively associated with younger age (P<0.01) and negatively associated with higher (post-secondary) education (OR=0.4, P<0.05). Conclusion: There is a significant association between mental illness and insomnia in Qatar with interesting findings in context of Qatar for role of age, education, and ethnicity. These findings need to be taken into account in provision of mental health services. Future studies should delineate the role of cultural attitudes towards sleep as potential mechanism linking insomnia to mental illness.

Abstract:
B&R Designs began business in the early sixties when Sven Ridder and Lars Bergstrom began sailing after studying aeronautical engineering. The principles learnt during their aeronautical studies were applied to sailboats and the goal, for them, has been to take up the structural loads in the most constructive way. Access to the wind tunnels, test tanks and structural testing facilities at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm enabled them to develop and test many ideas. One of these ideas evolved into the B&R rig. The objective was to develop a rig that was more 'user friendly'. Sailboats, thirty years ago and even today, are often fitted with inner forestays and running backstays requiring careful attention by the crew when tacking or jibing. A rig with less demands was the goal, one that was simpler and any mistakes made when tacking or jibing would not jeopardize the boat or crew. Also a simpler rig would require fewer crew members. Safety was another important consideration - a rig that was simple, easy to manage, suitable for a couple or family for cruising. During this rig development period the first application of the rigid boom vang concept was used on Sven Ridder's own sailboat 'Christina Windex'. Calculations and model testing of rigs were carried out. Optimizing the aerodynamic effect in the most favorable way was a very important aim. A series of wind tunnel tests were done to optimize the shape of mast sections. Because of the low wind speeds over a mast, laminar separation occurs very easily. Air scoops were set up on either side of the mast to achieve an attached flow. The best results occurred with an oval shaped mast section, fitted with a sail groove recessed in a V shaped area at the rear of the mast section.

Abstract:
Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis has been used to perform family studies, including prenatal diagnosis, in 21 haemophilia A kindred.Two intragenomic RFLPs were studied in conjunction with one linked RFLP. The intragenomic BgII RFLP,situation 3' to exon 26 was detected with cDNA probe C (Genetics Institute) giving bands of 20kb (17% of X chromosomes) and 5kb (83%), and the intragenomic Bell RFLP, situated 3' to exon 18, was detected with the genomic DNA probe pi 14.12 from Genentech. The frequency of this RFLP in the local population was 23% (1.1 kb allele) and 77% (0.88kb allele). The linked probe DXS15 (DX13) was used to detect a Bglll RFLPwith alleles of 5.8kb (45%) and 2.8kkb (55%). A recombination rate of approximately 5% has been estimated between the factor VIII and DXS15 lociCarrier studies were performed in 15 kindreds. 25 obligate carriers were identified and of these, 20 were potentially informative (heterozygous and phase known) for at least 1 RFLP (9 for Bgll, 9 for Bell and 7 for BgIII). 34 possible carriers were studied, of which 13 were diagnosed as normal (6 by BgII, 6 by Bell and 5 by BgIII). 17 were diagnosed as carriers (2 by Bgll, 12 by Bell and 10 by Bglll) and diagnosis was not possible in a further 4 cases. Of these diagnosed as carriers 3 were non-informative for all RFLPs, and 14informative for at least one RFLP (3 by Bgll, 8 by Bell and 8 with BgIII).Prenatal diagnosis was attempted by analysis of DNA extracted by chorionic villussampling in 6 cases of male fetuses at risk of havinghaemophilia A. 1 fetus was diagnosed as being affected (Bell) and was electively terminated. Three otherfetuses were diagnosed as normal by the BgIII/DXS15 RFLP, but the two intragenomic RFLPs were non-informative. Because of the possibility of a crossover allthree patients opted for mid-trimester fetoscopy andmeasurement of fetal factor VIII at Kings College Hospital, London (Dr Reuben Mibashan), where the diagnoses were confirmed. In the 4th case a normal fetus was diagnosed by the Bgll RFLP analysis, but a spontaneous abortion at 12 weeks prevented confirmation of this result. In the final case of twin male fetuses, none of the RFLPs was informative and both were diagnosed as normal by fetal blood sampling at fetoscopy.

Abstract:
Abstract A blowout preventer (BOP) is a large valve that encases an oil well on the surface. The valve may be closed while drilling if overpressure from a reservoir causes formation fluids such as oil and natural gas to back up within the wellbore and endanger the rig. A pipe ram is one of the critical components in the BOP system, which is designed to seal around a drill pipe, restricting the flow in the annulus between the outside of the drill pipe and the wellbore. The pipe ram design family, which contains hundreds of pipe ram designs, intends to cover different configurations to suit a variety of dill pipe sizes. To assure their structural integrity under service loads, these pipe rams need to be designed to meet the stress requirements per the American Petroleum Institute (API) Specification 16A and ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII, Division 2. With a conventional manual design workflow, it would take a significant amount of time and effort to complete all the designs for the product family with code compliance. Therefore, a scalable solution is highly desirable for delivery of customer-needed ram blocks with much shorter lead time. MDO (Multi-Disciplinary Optimization) involves multi-code integration, CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) workflow automation, design space exploration, and optimization. MDO-enabled, automated design optimization is becoming increasingly popular in both scientific and engineering communities. In this paper, a methodology for integration of CAD (Computer Aided Design), FEA (Finite Element Analysis), cost, and optimization packages to enable FEA automation and design optimization is presented. A BOP pipe ram is adopted as the use case. The ram block geometry was parameterized before being imported into an FEA package. The FEA workflow was automated such that once a set of geometric parameters are given, the preprocessing, solving, and postprocessing steps can be automatically completed. As part of the FEA postprocessing, stress linearization analysis per the API and ASME BPVC codes has also been automated, which had never been done in the past. A manufacturing cost analysis package can also be used to consume the parameterized geometry for automatic manufacturability assessment and cost predictions. The stress analysis and cost analysis workflows are conducted separately but also orchestrated by an MDO package. Reports that contain the analysis results are sequentially generated for various design permutations. The MDO-enabled automated design and cost analysis approach could substantially enhance efficiency and consistency in performing FEA and cost studies and producing analysis reports. It is also the backbone for automated design optimization, which could significantly improve the product performance and reliability and, meanwhile, minimize the development and product cost.

Abstract:
Post weld heat treatment (PWHT) is an effective way to minimize weld residual stresses in pressure vessels and piping equipment. PWHT is required for carbon steels above a Code-defined thickness threshold and other low-alloy steels to mitigate the propensity for crack initiation and ultimately, brittle fracture. Additionally, PWHT is often employed to mitigate stress corrosion cracking due to environmental conditions. Performing local PWHT following component repairs or alterations is often more practical and cost effective than heat treating an entire vessel or a large portion of the pressure boundary. In particular, spot or bulls eye configurations are often employed in industry to perform PWHT following local weld repairs to regions of the pressure boundary. Both the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel (B&PV) Code and the National Board Inspection Code (NBIC) permit the use of local PWHT around nozzles or other pressure boundary repairs or alterations. Additionally, Welding Research Council (WRC) Bulletin 452 [1] offers detailed guidance relating to local PWHT and compares some of the Code-based methodologies for implementing local PWHT on pressure retaining equipment. Specifically, local PWHT methodologies provided in design Codes: ASME Section VIII Division 1 [2] and Division 2 [3], ASME Section III Subsection NB [4], British Standard 5500 [5], Australian Standard 1210 [6], and repair Codes: American Petroleum Institute (API) 510 [7] and NBIC [8] are discussed and compared in this study. While spot PWHT may be appropriate in certain cases, if the soak, heating, and gradient control bands are not properly sized and positioned, it can lead to permanent vessel distortion or detrimental residual stresses that can increase the likelihood of in-service crack initiation and possible catastrophic failure due to unstable flaw propagation. It is essential to properly engineer local or spot PWHT configurations to ensure that distortion, cracking of adjacent welds, and severe residual stresses are avoided. In some cases, this may require advanced thermal-mechanical finite element analysis (FEA) to simulate the local PWHT process and to predict the ensuing residual stress state of the repaired area. This paper investigates several case studies of local PWHT configurations where advanced, three-dimensional FEA is used to simulate the thermal-mechanical response of the repaired region on a pressure vessel and to optimize the most ideal PWHT arrangement. Local plasticity and distortion are quantified using advanced non-linear elastic-plastic analysis. Commentary on the ASME and NBIC Code-specified local PWHT requirements is rendered based on the detailed non-linear FEA results, and recommended good practice for typical local PWHT configurations is provided. Advanced computational simulation techniques such as the ones employed in this investigation offer a means for analysts to ensure that local PWHT configurations implemented following equipment repairs will not lead to costly additional damage, such as distortion or cracking that can ultimately prolong equipment downtime.
