One of the most important technology in Factory Automation and Unmanned Automation is to construct the diagnostic system for manufacturing process. To improve the productivity in cutting process, the state of tools such as bite, drill, endmill should be monitored continuously. In this study, fuzzy logic was used to check the wear of drill in drilling process. The input variables to construct the fuzzy rules are cutting force and the rate of cutting force's change. The experiment was done with the fixed spindle speed and feed rate in cutting condition. The proposed algorithm is verified by comparing Fuzzy wear with real wear measured.

Tire is one of the most important to drive cars. There is high possibility to occur slip phenomenon and to increase braking distance depending on tire wear. Therefore, you should be check tire wear and replace tires periodically. In the past, most people manually check the wear level and judged whether or not to replace the tire. But, since the standard is different for each person, the replacement cycle becomes unclear. Since a clear replacement cycle is established, it is expected that the accident rate of a vehicle caused by a tire will be reduced. Therefore, i propose detection method for a tire wear using a motor rotation angle.

This study is mainly concerned with friction and wear properties for the piston ring of non-lubricating air compressor which made of PTFE-polyimide composites. At the PTFE and polyimide alone mixture specimens, PTFE80%-polyimide20%, which shows the lowest mean friction coefficient and specific wear rate at 0.94m/s sliding speed. In case of the specific wear rate, copper30% specimen shows the lowest value of 2.537-5(mm3/Nm) in all specimens. It considered that the friction coefficient is affected by generating speed and quantity of wear film. In case specific wear rate, it is attributed to the fact that the surface hardness of wear film is proportioned to specific wear rate.

Rail corrugation is continuously increasing due to the lack of maintenance regulations for the amount of rail irregularities. Rail corrugation is causing various problems, such as a decrease in ride comfort and an increase in the amount of track maintenance. In this paper, the effect of rail corrugation on the track force was analyzed by measuring the rail irregularities before and after rail grinding and the track measurements (dynamic wheel load, displacement, and acceleration) for the section where the rail corrugation occurred. In addition, it was experimentally proven that the rail grinding performed to reduce the corrugation of the rail was very effective in reducing the additional forces on the track.

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.

Tooth wear is a multifactorial condition, leading to the loss of dental hard tissues. While for many years, tooth wear was a condition of little interest in daily clinical practice, nowadays this is changed. Tooth wear is becoming increasingly significant in maintaining the long-term health of the dentition. This becomes especially important when the dentition is kept relatively intact in the contemporary ageing population, and edentulism is decreasing. There is also evidence that the prevalence of tooth wear is growing. It is a natural consequence of the unidirectionality of tooth wear that it is frequently used as a means of individual age estimation. Tooth wear was very serious in ancient populations up to the medieval period. Tooth wear is thus studied in a wide variety of areas. The purpose of this paper is to summarize and analyze the many issues surrounding tooth wear through recent studies in various fields and to search for future research direction.

인공관절은 노인성 질환이나 자가 면역질환, 신체적인 외상 등으로 인하여 발생하는 관절의 손상 부위를 대체하기 위하여 고안된 관절의 인공 대용물이다. 인공 관절 중 인공 고관절의 경우 라이너(Liner)와 헤드(Head) 부분이 직접적인 마모 운동을 수행하게 되므로, 이 부분의 소재 특성에 따라 인공관절의 수명이 결정 되게 된다. 현재 헤드 소재로서는 Co-Cr-Mo 합금이, 라이너 소재로서는 고분자 소재인 UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene)가 주로 사용되고 있다. 이러한 MOP (Metal-On-Polymer) 구조의 인공관절의 경우, 충격흡수의 장점이 있는 반면, 관절 운동시 발생하는 UHMWPE 의wear debris에 의해 골용해가 발생하게 되어 인공관절의 수명이 저하되는 문제점이 있으며, 금속 헤드의 마모로 인한 금속이온의 용출은 세포 독성의 문제를 야기하여 인공관절의 수명을 저하시키는 또 다른 원인이 되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 PIII&D (Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation & Deposition) 공정을 이용하여 금속 (Co-Cr-Mo 합금)소재 위에 세라믹 (niobium nitride) 박막을 증착하여 상대재인 UHMWPE의 마모를 줄이고자 하는 연구를 진행하였다. 금속 소재 위에 증착된 세라믹 박막은 상대재인 UHMWPE의 마모량을 줄여줄 뿐만 아니라 금속이온의 용출을 막아준다는 장점이 있으나, 장시간의 마모 운동에 의하여 발생하는 박막의 박리 현상은 인공관절의 수명을 급격히 저하시키는 또 다른 원인이 된다. 이러한 단점을 해결하기 위하여, 박막의 증착 초기에 이온주입과 증착을 동시에 수행하는 dynamic ion mixing공정을 수행하였다. Dynamic ion mixing 공정을 수행함에 따라 박막과 금속 사이의 접착력이 증가하게 되어, UHMWPE의 마모량이 2배 가까이 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 장시간의 마모시험에서도 우수한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 UHMWPE의 마모량을 감소시키기 위하여 박막을 증착하기 전에 금속 소재에 질소 이온주입을 수행하는 pre-ion implantation 공정을 도입하였다. 질소 이온주입 결과 Co-Cr-Mo 합금 표면에 부분적으로 CrN, Cr2N의 세라믹 상이 형성 되는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 그에 따라 UHMWPE의 마모량이 2배 이상 감소 되는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

The sliding wear behavior of Ni-base hardfacing alloy, Deloro 50, was investigated at the contact stresses of 15ksi and 30ksi under the various wear environments. In air at room temperature, Deloro 50 showed lower wear resistance than Stellite 6 even at 15ksi due to the occurrence of severe adhesive wear. This seems to be caused by the lower hardness and work- hardening rate of Deloro 50 than those of Stellite 6. In water at room temperature, Deloro 50 showed as good wear resistance as Stellite 6 at 15ksi. It was considered to be due to that water could effectively prevent metal to metal contact through contacting asperities. However, Deloro 50 showed severe adhesive wear at 30ksi in water at room temperature. It seems to be that the water could not suppress adhesion wear at 30ksi. At $300^{\circ}C$ in air, Deloro 50 exhibited higher wear resistance than Stellite 6 even at 30ksi. It was considered that the oxide glaze layers formed on wear surface during sliding, effectively prevented direct metal-to-metal contacts.

The exposed aggregate PCC(EAP) pavements have been successfully used in Europe and Japan as low-noise pavements. Coarse aggregate are exposed on the pavement surface texture of EAP by removing mortar of surface. The pavement surface texture should maintain not only low-noise characteristic but also adequate skid resistance level during the performance period. Skid resistance decreased with wearing and polishing of tire and pavement surface due to the repetition of tire-pavement contact. Since the tires mainly contact the exposed coarse aggregate, the shape and rock type of coarse aggregate significantly influence wearing and polishing of EAP pavements. The test for resistance to abrasion coarse aggregate by use of the Los Angeles machine(KS F 2508) and the method of test for resistance to abrasion coarse aggregate by use of the Accelerated Polishing Machine(ASTM D 3319-90) are generally used to evaluate polishing characteristics of aggregate. In this study, polishing of coarse aggregate of different five rock types were evaluated by KS F 2508(LA abrasion test) and ASTM D 3319-90(PSV method). The results of LA abrasion test and PSV method were contrary to each other. Since LA abrasion test is estimated the quantity of abrasion by the impact of aggregate, it may not be adequate to evaluate the polishing of aggregate by the repetition of tire. In the case of PSV method, the resistance of polishing is estimated the skid resistance variation of polished aggregate after repetition of tire. The PSV method is adequate for the evaluation on polishing of coarse aggregate. From the test results of PSV method, it was founded that rock type, specific gravity, coarse aggregate angularity, flat or elongated particles in coarse aggregate are significant to the resistance characteristic of coarse aggregate.

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.
