In this work, an ER clutch has been constructed and its characteristics have been evaluated by adapting an electro-rheological fluid(ERF) as an operating medium. ER fluids are suspensions which show an abrupt increase in rheological properties under electric fields. An ER clutch system using ER fluid is a new conception device because an apparent viscosity of ER fluid can be changed by apply an electric field. As a first, Bingham properties of ER fluids are experimentally distilled as a function of electric field. We use the disk type ER clutch in which the ER fluid fills the annular space between a pair of coaxial disk electrodes and experiment results show that the measured revolution per minute was increased with the increase of the electric field. The ER fluid used in the present study consists of weight fraction 35% in zeolite suspended silicone oil.

It is well-known that Electro-rheological(ER) fluid is a material(suspension) which shows the dramatic change of rheological properties under an electric field. Using these properties, the concept that variable apparent viscosity of ER fluid could be applicable to the polishing for micro parts was introduced. It was investigated that how it works for polishing and how it affects ER effect when abrasives were mixed with an ER fluid. Therefore a few structures for polishing using ER fluid was suggested and evaluated by means of experiments. In this paper, fundamental mechanism and experimental results are described.

높은 전기장 하에서 다분산, 비구형 실리카/실리콘 오일 현탁액의 전기유변 (electrorheological, ER)현상을 살펴 보았다. 전기유변유체는 전기장 방향으로 사슬구조를 형 성하는 특성을 보이며 이것이 유변물성의 향상에 기여하는 것으로 알려졌다. 동적(dynamic) 상태 실험에서 전기장 하의 실리카 현탁액은 매우낮은 임계변형율(${\gamma}$c =0.1%)이상에서 비선 형 점탄성을 보였다. 저장탄성계수(G＇)는 변형율 변화에 손실탄성계수(G＂)는 매질의 점도 에 더 민감한 의존성을 보였다. 또한 겉보기 항복응력은 입자의 부피분율과 전기장에$\Phi$1.9E1.4 의 의존성을 보였는데 부피분율에 대한 의존성이 큰 이유는 0.1 이상의 부피분율에서 복합 사슬 구조 내의 입자들 간의 상호 정전효과가 지배적으로 나타나기 때문이라고 생각된다. 정상상태 실험에서는 부피분율이 크거나 높은 전기장 하에서 전단속도가 0.1sec-1 정도 이하 로 감소함에 따라 전단응력이 급겨히 증가하는 현상을 보였다. 그러므로 본질적인 동적 항 복응력을 얻기 위해서는 매우 낮은 전단속도 영역의 특이한 응력거동을 고려해야한다. 큰 전단속도 하에서는 hydrodynamic interaction의 영향으로 전단속도의 증가에 따라 전단응력 이 증가하였다. 이같은 전단응력의 거동을 계단전단실험으로 확인하였다.

Electro-Rheological(ER) fluids change their apparent viscosity according to the electric field strength. The electrical and rheological properties of zeolite based the ER fluids were reported. The electric field dependent yield stress are obtained from experimental investigation on the Bingham property of the ER fluid. Using ER fluids, it is possible to directly interface between electric drop and flow rate of the ER fluid was hydraulic control valve measured under application of an electric field. The purpose of the present study is pressure drop measurement of an ER valve by using strain gage. The performance characteristics of the valve system are evalusted in terms of pressrue fixed with respect to the intensity of employed electric fields and flow rates. As a result, it is esperimentally confirmed that pressure control valve using ER fluids applicable to use in hydraulic power systems.

For the use of Antartic krill(Euphausia superba Dana) as food resource, general composition, extracting condition of chitin and quality characteristics of chitosan were investigated. General composition of frozen krill(Euphausia superba Dana) was consisted of moisture 79.0%, protein 13.1%, lipid 4.0%, VBN 7.7mg%, ash 2.7%, others 1.2% and that of dried krill powder was moisture 5.6%, protein 56.1%, lipid 18.8%, ash 11.4%, others 8.1%. The condition of chitin extraction from krill powder was treated with 1N NaOH at $40^{\circ}C$ for removing protein, 1N HCl for excepting mineral substances and methanol for decoloring. The yield of chitin by new procedure developed was 3.7%. The composition of extracted chitin contents was moisture 7.1%, ash 0.4%, protein 3.5%, lipid 3.1%. The results of degree of deacetylation in chitosan at 50% NaOH, $121^{\circ}C$, for 2 hrs was showed 82%. At the same alkali concentration and reaction concentration, a longer reaction time gave a decreased degree of deacetylation. The apparant viscosity was 0.09241 Pa in 1% chitosan from krill and 0.13826 Pa in standard chitosan.

Physicochemical properties of heat-moisture (18, 21, 24 and 27%) treated naked barley (Youngsanbori) starch indicated that crystailinity of the starch was decreased upon treatment and water-binding capacity drastically increased as the moisture level increased. The swelling power was decreased, but the solubility increased by heat-moisture treatment. Apparent viscosity in aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was repressed as moisture-treatment level increased. Amylograph hot paste vicosities were decreased upon treatment except initial pasting temperature.

In order to investigate the physical properties of alginate extracted from sea tangle, Laminaria app., under various conditions, viscosity and binding capacity of metal ion (BCMI) of alginate were measured. The higher concentrations of sodium carbonate and the longer extracting time became, the lower apparent viscosity and BCMI were. BCMI in alginate reached maximum at the concentration of 0.06M metal ion. The BCMI of $Pb^{++}$ ion was the highest but $Cu^{++}$ ion was the lowest in the five metal ions. BCMI was increased in proportion as increase of viscosity in alginate.

Effects of rheological parameters, such as shear rate, temperature, concerntration, salts on the apparent viscosity of chitosan(deacetylation degree: $84\%$, Mw: 267,000) dissolved in acetate buffer(pH 4.5) were investigated. Rheologiral properties of chitosan solution from cuticle of red snow crab (Chinonecetes japonicus) are as follows. $0.5\%$ chitosan in 0.1M acetate buffer (pH 4.5) solution showed Bingham flow having hysteresis loop. It's flow equation was $\sigma=0.757+19.6_\gamma(r^2=0.99)$. The viscosity of chitosan solution is exponentially increased with its concentration, and showed Arrhenius dependence with respect to the temperature $(10^{\circ}C-40^{\circ}C).$ When various salts were added to chitosan solution, the viscosity decreased as the concentration of counterion increased. But the type ot counterions itself does not have any significant effects on the viscosity.

Natural river channels usually have a deep section and one or two floodplains, which is called a compound channel. As the general method in the compound channel overestimates the discharge capacity, the momentum transfer due to interaction between the main channel flow and flow over its floodplain must be considered. Scale model experiments are performed for the rectangular main channel with an asymmetrical floodplain. Firstly, velocities are measured at various section grids. Secondary, boundary shear stresses are calculated from velocity distributions. Lastly, in order to determine the apparent shear force, the shear stress distributions are integrated along the wetted perimeter for the full cross-section and equated to the total weight force in the flow direction. The hydraulic characteristics in a compound channel are closely examined with the scales of length, velocity, boundary shear stress, and apparent shear force which are described with the various relationships.

This research was performed through the experimental design to get the statistical analysis on foamed concrete mixed plaster with hydrogen peroxide. In this experiment, we set the ratio of each material, which part of lightweight concrete, as experimental factors and evaluated on the mechanical properties by statistical analysis for response variables obtained from experiments. Experimental factors are plaster replacement, water binder ratio, and hydrogen peroxide ratio. Response variables are dry density, compressive strength, and flexural strength. Mixing design of the foamed concrete set up a total of 15 experimental points by Box-Behnken (BB) method of the response surface analysis. Thus, the results of a study were summarized as follows. Values of the probability in experimental factors (plaster replacement, water binder ratio and hydrogen peroxide ratio) on the response variables were estimated to be significant at the 95% of confidence limit. On response surface analysis for dry density of foamed concrete, water binder ratio and hydrogen peroxide ratio were estimated to be significant (${\alpha}$ = 0.05), and the relationship between the amount of void and the water content for dry density is inverse proportional. On response surface analysis for the compressive strength of foamed concrete, water binder ratio, hydrogen peroxide ratio and (hydrogen peroxide ratio)$^2$ was estimated to be significant (${\alpha}$ = 0.05). On response surface analysis for the flexural strength of foamed concrete, water binder ratio, hydrogen peroxide ratio was estimated to be significant (${\alpha}$ = 0.05). Through multi response surface analysis, we found the optimal area that meets performance goals.
