Most water cannon machines use compressed gas to accelerate a piston which extrudes water through a cumulation nozzle. Very high jet stagnation-pressures can be achieved by using a specially-shaped nozzle which is initially filled with air or vacuum. The objective of this study was to establish the basic technology of water cannon using exponential type nozzle. An experimental water cannon including high pressure components such as exponential nozzle and 300atm air resrvior were designed and tested. Parameters that influence the performance of the system and jet characteristics were examined.

An algorithm is presented for 3-dimensional contour lines with a hidden line removal ~technique developed by T.L. Janssen(l). Contour line algorithm on any 3-dimensional plane cutting solid body is also shown. NUFIG(2) algorithm is adopted for searching contour lines. Test problems show well-established contour lines on the surface and also on the cutting plane of the structure.

In order to satisfy the industrial requirements to measure the rotational error motion of main spindles and to find out the source of the error motion, some measuring systems were made. Their measuring principle are based on the 3-point roundness measurement. In these measuring systems, the measurements are processed by digital calculation technique and the form error and the rotational error motion of main spindles are spearated. In the present paper, the principle of 3-point metnod is introduced and some application examples are shown.

A counter balance valve is used as one part of hydraulic motor brake system. The function of this valve is to protect over-run or free falling of inertia load. But occasionally the brake system with counter balance valve makes some undesirable problems such as pressure surges or vibrations. In this study, for the purpose of easy estimation about dynamic chrcteristics of hydraulic system including counter balance valve, precise formulation describing fluid dynamics and valve dynamics under various boundary conditions were made. dynamic caracteristics were analysed by numerical intergration using Runge-Kutta method, because the equations in this circuit with counter balance valve contain various nonlinear terms. So the analyzing method developed in this study enabled very easy estimating the relation between the performance of counter balance valve and various physical parameters related to the valve.

Therefore users can use easily and quickly.

Electro-pneumatic valves are an electro-mechanical device which convert electric signal into pneumatic flow rate or pressure signal. Recently, the development tendency of electro-pneumatic valve is to make the valve with more compact and less electric power consumption style. To make the valve such as a style, the role of solenoid part is very important. This paper is used in the finite-element method for the purpose of evaluating the magnetic property of solenoid and analyze flux distribution of solenoid theoretically. From flux contour line which is obtained by numerical analysis, it verified that the plunger shape and physical property of solenoid part have influence on saturation phenomenon and leakage of magnetic fluxs. This paper made an experiment on the measurement of dynamic response time and force in order to confirm the propety of analytic result, and confirmed a good agreement between analysis results and experiment results.

Filament-Wound composite pressure vessels offer significant weight saving over the conventional metal pressure vessels. S-2 glass/epoxy pressure vessel was designed, fabricated and tested. It was considered, in the analysis that the matrix and the metal liner of FRP pressure vessel shared the internal pressure. The thicknesses of hoop and helical layers were determinded by the computer program developed for the design of FRP/Metal structural pressure vessel. The computer program increased the structural efficiency about 14% comparing with the netting analysis. The experimental measurement on the deformation by internal pressure agrees with the theoretical analysis within the accuracy of 5%.

The morphologies of MC carbides (M stands for metal) and creep-rupture properties in directionally solidified Rene 80 having standard and Hf-modified chemistries were studied. It was found that Hf depressed the melting point, $\gamma$- $\gamma$’ eutectic temperature and $\gamma$’ solvus of nickel-base superalloy Rene 80, but did not depress MC carbide forming temperature. The morphologies of MC carbides depended upon solidification sequence, which led to blocky type in the early stage and script type in the late stage of solidification. Creep failure occurs through the crack initiation at the transverse components of longitudinal grain boundaries or interdendritic carbides in directionally solidified superalloys. It could be concluded MC carbide morphologies played an important role in creep properties of DS superalloys, that is, Hf additions increased the creep ductilities and lives of Rene 80.

The $Y_2 BaCuO_5$ phase was synthesized under various calcination temperatures and sintered. The $Y_2 BaCuO_5$ phase strarted to form at $850^{\circ}C$ for 6hours calcination time and, at $1000^{\circ}C$, all the X-ray diffraction peaks corresponded to $Y_2 BaCuO_5$. The sintered density of $Y_2 BaCuO_5$ was increased to 97 % of its theoretical density by the control of calcination temperature.

This investigation was undertaken to establish the technologies of grain refinement and modification, and to characterize material properties, essential for high quality aluminum alloy castings. Grain refinement seldom changed DAS and eutectic Si size, but largely decrease grain size. The variations of grain size induced by grain refinement had a great influence on the elongation without changes in the tensile strength or yield strength. The optimum Ti level lies between 0.1% and 0.16% to achieve the best possible mechanical properties. DAS and grain size were little affected, but eutectic Si size was greatly refined by modification. The variation of eutectic Si size had a great effect on the elongation, impact value, fracture toughness and fatigue crack propagation rate without changes in the tensile strength or yield strength. The Sr content of 0.015% is optimum to modification.

Advanced ceramics have some excellent properties as the material for the mechanical component. It is, however, very difficult to grind ceramics with high efficiency because of their high strength, hardness and brittleness. Thus it is required also by a strong boom of demands for development of Machinable ceramics with high machinability in the most of industries. In present research, experiments are carried out to compare the machinability of sample Machinable ceramics. A $\ell$N(Aluminum Nitride) with additives of BN(Boron Nitride), yttrium. CaO are turned with cut-off tool type tungsten carbide bite using conventional turning machine.

This study was carried out to obtain the most optimum conition in vacuum sintering of M2 HSS powder, by analysis of sintering characteristics and fracture strength in several conditions. The conclusion deduced from this study are as follows; -Boron was more effective element than graphite; at this time, the optimum amount of addition was 0.05 wt% -The optimum condition of sintering temperature and time were 1190- $1200^{\circ}C$ and 1-1.25hr, respectively -Fracture strength of vacuum sintered and heat-treated specimen in the most optimum condition was 2-2.5KN/ $mm^2$

The relationship between the properties of two kinds of calcined cokes and graphitized forming bodies were examined. The microstructures of the forming bodies are already determined to some degree at the stage of baking. Calcined cokes as well as baked forming bodies using the same coke as filler were heat treated at various temperatures and their structural and properties changes with heat treated temperature were studied. The transition in properties changes with heat treatment in forming bodies were observed around $2000^{\circ}C$. The characteristics of the finial graphite bodies are strongly dependent on the properties of the raw material cokes.
