The purpose of this study is to investigate the wear index of toothbrush and related factors in the university students. A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 573 university students from March 16 to April 10, 2015. The questionnaire consisted of general characteristics of the subjects, wear index, and wear rate of the toothbrush. The wear index of 46.9 percent was above 0.400, and the average wear index was $0.403{\pm}0.20$. Overall, the wear index of the toothbrushes was high. 2. As a result of measuring the wear rate of the toothbrushes, the wear rate of 70.4 percent stood at 1 and 2. The average wear rate stood at $1.620{\pm}0.74$. Overall, the wear rate of the toothbrushes was high. 3. As for wear index and wear rate by gender, the wear index and wear rate of the toothbrushes used by the male students were larger than those of the toothbrushes used by the female students. The wear index and wear rate were significantly higher when the toothbrush replacement period was longer. Given the findings of the study, efficient oral health education on the right toothbrush management should be provided for college students to manage their toothbrushes properly.

In this study, we investigated the wear measurement methods for slurry pipe applied in the field of mining and oil sand industry and theoretical equations related to the prediction of wear in slurry pipe through literature review. Average daily wear rate and wear rate per excavated distance were determined from slurry discharge pipe thickness measurement data periodically measured at the actual slurry shield TBM site in Singapore. The wear rate of slurry pipe for Bukit Timah Granite was obtained. The wear rates for G (V) grade and mixed zone were 1.5 times higher than that of G (I) to G (IV) grade. Slurry pipe wear rate tends to increase in proportion to the slurry discharge velocity. The optimal slurry pipe replacement or rotation frequency can be estimated through the selection of the pipe wear rate considering geological condition and the reasonable pipe management thickness.

한국철도에서는 현재 약 450냥에 가까운 Diesel 기관차를 보유하고 있으며 기관의 정밀검사를 위한 Enginer의 Overhaul은 2Y검사로 2년마다 실시하고 있다. 원래 Engine의 Overhaul 주기간격은 Liner Bore와 Piston Ring 등 동력장치 조립체의 구성부품의 체험적인 마모율을 감안하여 결정되며 가장 경제적이면서도 무장애운행을 가능케 하는 것은 마모율이 최저로 유지되고 있을 때이다. 따라서 기관의 마모를 최대로 억제하는 것이 바람직하다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the toothbrush bristles' wear index and wear rate used by preschool children to provide information on the establishment of criteria for toothbrush replacement cycle for preschool children. One thousand twenty-two toothbrushes were collected from September 20 to November 16, 2012 was analyzed. The findings of the study were as follows: 1. As a result of analyzing the toothbrush wear index, 48.5% of the collected toothbrushes was above 0.400, and the average wear index was $0.421{\pm}0.239$. 2. As a result of analyzing the wear rate of the toothbrushes, score 2 and 3 accounted for 70.4%, and the average wear rate stood at $1.936{\pm}0.848$. 3. As a result of analyzing the state of toothbrush management, the most common average toothbrush replacement cycle was one or two months (63.9%). Concerning the method of toothbrush replacement, the largest group (52.7%) replied they changed toothbrushes based on the abrasivity of toothbrush bristles, and 16.7 percent did that at the request of parents. Given the above-mentioned findings of the study, preschool teachers and parents should be educated to ensure the successful management of preschool children toothbrushes. In addition, it's required to set evident criteria for the right toothbrush replacement cycle for preschool children, and how to provide oral health education in an efficient way should be considered as well.

On a typical railway, trains travel using the friction between the wheel and the rail. Contact pressure is generated between the wheel and the rail, and the magnitude of the contact pressure changes depending on the weight, speed, wheel-set hunting, and contact point of the vehicle. In this study, the contact characteristics were analyzed through the finite element analysis for the wheel/rail system on curved track, and fatigue damage and wear rate of wheel/rail according to contact pressure were analyzed through rolling contact fatigue test. Results indicate that, general and heat treated rails showed higher wear rate than wheels, and general and heat treated rail wear rate increased rapidly over a certain number of repetitions. In addition, the general rail wear rate was about 7 ~ 15% higher than that of the heat treated rail, and a regression equation for the rail wear rate with the contact pressure in the contact pressure range of 900 ~ 1,500 MPa was presented.

The dry sliding wear behavior of graphite that is used as the sealing material to cut off hot gas was evaluated as a function of applied load, sliding speed and temperature. The reciprocating wear tests were carried out at room temperature and elevated temperatures. An attempt has been made to develop a mathematical model by response surface methodology and an analysis of variance technique was applied to confirm the validity of the developed model. Also, the wear mechanism was compared through the observation of the worn surface by SEM analysis.

This study evaluated the surface changes such as surface average roughness(RA), surface free energy(SFE) and wear depth among groups treated with surface penetrating sealant(Fortify, Biscover), non treated polishing group before and after tooth-brushing, analyzing the influence of the sealants in filling of surface microdefects formed during the finishing and polishing procedures of composite resin. Results were as follow(p= 0.05) : 1. Ra was increased Biscover. Fortify and Polishing group. Before abrasion and in 6 months, all groups were statistically significant. In 1 month, 2 months and 3 months no statistical difference was noticed between Fortify and Biscover 2. SFE of Polishig and Biscover group. Fortify and Biscover group were statistically significant before abrasion. SFE of Polishing and Fortify group was statistically significant in 1 month. No statistical difference was noticed among groups in 2 months. SFE of Fortify and Biscover group was statistically significant in 3 months. Polishing and Fortify group, Fortify and Biscover group were statistically significant in 6 months. 3, Wear rate between Polishing and Fortify group was statistically significant in only 1 month. Wear rate between Polishing and Biscover group was statistically different in each month except for 2 month and so it was between Fortify and Biscover group. Considering film thickness of Fortify and Biscover, Fortify almost discappeared after 2 months and Biscover did after 6 months.

Los Angeles abrasion loss test has usally been applied to the quarry for the purpose of aggregate hardness estimation. 324 blocks from 25 sites of Kyeongsang basin samples of sedimentary rock were examined and tested in laboratary. This paper found that L. A. abrasion loss test is a good method to estimate engineering index such as uniaxial compressive strength, elastic modulus, indirect tensile strength, point load strength index, Schmidt hammer rebound value of sedimentary rocks with high correlation factor. Engineers will prefer L. A. abrasion loss test to the other one for design and construction as this method is quick and easy.
