본 고에서는 녹킹현상과 녹킹 발생의 결과, 그리고 녹킹과 연료와의 관계등에 대해 개략적으로 설명하려 한다. 녹킹 발생 유무는 흡입공기상태, 스로틀 열림정도, 연소실 형상, 스파크 점화시기, 화염 전파속도 및 연료의 자연 발화 특성에 관계되며 화염 전파속도와 end-gas에 있는 연로의 반응속도와의 경쟁이라 볼수 있다. 연료의 녹킹 발생에 대한 저항성을 나탄내는 척도가 옥탄가이며 옥탄가가 높을 수록 자연 발화하기 어려우므로 녹킹이 잘 일어나지 않는다.

본 기고에서는 농도분석에 사용되는 많은 측정장비 중에서 여러가지의 가스성분을 한번에 측정할 수 있고, 다른 전용가스분석기에 비하여 경제적인 가스크로마토그라프를 소개하고, 특히 탄화수소(hydrocarbon)계열의 연료를 사용하는 열기관의 배기가스분석에 국한하여, 적용예와 문제점을 검토하여 가장 최적의 가스크로마토그라프 운용조건을 찾는데 도움이 되고자 한다.

The design of a power transmission shaft which has the limited life under cumulative damage and various mean loads was made in consideration of shaft stiffness and shape determination. All procedures were programmed so that one can see the result by connecting to graphic terminal. The diameters of designed shaft are in good agreement with those of a commercial shaft which is manufactured according to the imported design drawing sheets.

This study investigated a method for the determination of the J-integral for a tough glassy polymer such as polycarbonate plates by using the method of caustics. Comparing the values of J-integral determined by a numerical analysis and by the method of caustics, the method of caustics was found to be an effective experimental technique for the determination of the J-integral. The ratio between two J-integrals determined by the method of caustics and by finite element method converged into 1 within the limit of low load. However, it was noticed that the greater the plastic zone at the crack tip was, the lower the J-integral obtained by the reflect method of caustics. This difference may be deduced from the damage at the crack tip such as craze appeared in the polycarbonate plate. It was confirmed that the ratio of longitudinal diameter( $D_{l}$ ) to transverse diameter ( $D_{t}$) of caustics generally converged into 1 at the low load. The transition of the state of stress at the vicinity of a crack tip from plane strain to plane stress was deduced by noticing that the longitudinal diameter( $D_{l}$ ) grew faster than the transverse diameter( $D_{t}$) of caustics within the higher load range.

This study has been conducted by experiments for distribution of concentration of helium gas, which is jetted into stationary atmosphere at the normal temperature and pressure. It is able to obtain the data for concentration of helium and air mixtures by the use of hot wire probe which has fast response. At an up stream, the concentration gradient which is attained is steep. At a down stream, the mixing time of helium and air is gradually shortened with the lapse of time in front of a jet. The arrival frequency of a jet in an unsteady area is mostly constant from 0% to 100% up to 80mm, but the time which is reaching to 100% is gradually to lengthen as a descending downstream. After starting a jet and the point of 90%, the mixing time is especially to lengthen. This reason comes from the turbulent intensity which causes for mixing of helium and air. This time difference which causes according to lengthen a jet should be considered in the design of combustion chamber.

Bake hardenability of batch annealed steel sheets is investigated in connection with the amount of tensile deformation and the bake hardening condition. This study associates with the method for producing bake hardening materials by means of batch annealing process and for measuring bake hardenability which is not yet fully established. The experimental result demonstrates the relationship between strain distribution and bake hardening behavior in various bake hardening conditions, which provides an essential information for automobile design and related sheet metal forming in a press shop. The result also shows the bake hardenability of the tested material increases as the baking temperature is increased from 150.deg. C. The result assures the bake hardening materials can guarantee reasonably high strength as well as good uniformity in yield strength for the automobile body by sheet metal forming process.
