Abstract We introduce a new technique to analyze free vibration energy and natural frequencies of a string with time-varying length by dealing with traveling waves. One of boundaries is vertically fixed but it moves axially at a constant rate. When the string length is varied, the free vibration energy and period also change with time. String tension and non-zero instantaneous vertical velocity at the moving boundary results in the energy variation. When the string undergoes retraction, the vibration energy increases with time. The new technique using traveling waves gives the exact amount of energy transferred into the vibrating system at the moving boundary. The free vibration energy are compared with previous results using the perturbation method and Kotera’s approach.

Creep deformation localization is a common occurrence generally found in high temperature components, typically at weldments and geometrical discontinuities. The deformation in a small region cannot be measured by a conventional displacement gage. A new technique for measuring long-term local creep deformation was developed. It uses quartz optical fiber marking, remote monitoring, and image processing. Long-term measurements of the creep deformations of base metal, weld metal, and heat-affected zone in cross-weld specimens were performed at high temperature, which verify the new technique. Strain distributions and evolutions in the weldments are obtained.
