Experimental validation of the design guideline to prevent the failure of a thermometer well by vortex-induced vibration is presented, clarifying the effect of structure damping on displacement amplitudes of a cantilever cylinder. The available experimental data in piping are limited to those with small damping in water flow, because of the difficulty in increasing structure damping of the cantilever cylinders in experiments. In the present experiment, high-viscosity oil within cylinders is used to control their structure damping. Resulting values of reduced damping Cn are 0.49, 0.96, 1.23, 1.98, and 2.22. The tip displacements of the cylinder induced by vortex vibration were measured in the range of reduced velocity Vr from 0.7 to 5 (Reynolds number is 7.8×104 at Vr=1). Cylinders with reduced damping 0.49 and 0.96 showed vortex-induced vibration in the flow direction in the Vr>1 region. However, in cases of reduced damping of 1.23, 1.98, and 2.22, the vibration was suppressed to less than 1 percent diameter. It is confirmed that the criteria of “Vr<3.3 and Cn>1.2” for the prevention of vortex-induced vibration is reasonably applicable to a cantilever cylinder in a water flow pipe.

The effect of substitution of zinc into the hydroxyapatite lattice(ZnHA) was evaluated using experimental precipitation studies and with ab initio modelling data. When attempting to introduce zinc into the hydroxyapatite (HA) lattice not all of the zinc is substituted and ICP confirms its presence in the supernatant. Modelling suggests that this is likely to be because of the high formation energy introducing zinc into the pure hydroxyapatite lattice, 4.6 - 4.9eV. In the experimental study it was found that a maximum of 0.61wt% zinc could be substituted into the HA lattice at 10oC with less being substituted at room temperature »22oC. Experimental measurements revealed that the presence of zinc in the lattice decreased the a-lattice parameter and increased the c-lattice parameter. Modelling showed that this was likely to be caused by the movement of the hydroxyl ions away from the c-axis, towards the zinc atoms which were substituted in calcium type II positions. The type II position was shown to be the most stable substitution site.
