Wearing degree and uneven wearing detection algorithm using horizontal edge information is proposed in this paper. The noise in the input image is removed by bilateral filter, and then edges are extracted from the filtered image by using the proposed mask. As the tire is worn, grooves of tire shoulder or sipes are changed more than the vertical grooves. Therefore the edges from grooves of tire shoulder or sipes have more information about the tire wearing than the edges from vertical grooves. Proposed mask that is reflected this feature is used to extract the horizontal edges. After edge extraction, the edge image is represented in two-level system. The edge pixels of the binarization image are used to decide the wearing degree and uneven wearing. This proposed method can be used easily without any other equipments. The proposed method is conducted with a real vehicle, and the experimental results show the good performance of the proposed method in detecting wearing degree and uneven wearing.

Conventional polishing of stone panel edges has been done by hand. While this has changed somewhat with the advent of automatic machines, it is still very much a hand finishing technology. For the development of edge shape milling tool, the primary test on characteristics of edge shape milling tool was carried out. This paper presents the results of tests focused upon the milling capability that was varied by the variables of operation parameters. Author tried to confirm the effect of six operation parameters of equipment such as rotation speed, advance speed, applied load, water flow rate and rotational direction. The result from test was described in term of shape milling capability that was defined as cutting volume of rock by unit weight of tool wear. The variance of the results could indicate the optimum level of each operating parameters. The test was also carried out to determine the abrasion resistance varied according to the abrasive flow rate. The abrasion resistance was increased with the abrasive flow rate, but over some rate it was not changed.

In discharge machining, material is removed by electrical discharge between the electrode and the workpiece. An important consideration in EDM is that the wear of the electrodes decreases the final precision of the workpiece. The edge wear of the electrodes proceeds very quickly because sparks occur more frequently at the edges with high local electrical strength. In this study, mold steel was discharged with a wedge-shaped graphite electrode to measure the edge wear of the electrode according to the depth. The electrode edge wear increased with depth during EDM and a wear model was developed. The model predicted that the edge wear can be reduced by approximately 70% using two electrodes instead of a single electrode. The model was supported by the experimental comparison of the dual electrode method and the single electrode method.

Surface hardening treatment is required to improve the wear-resistance of press die because severe abrasion of die occurs during the drawing process in which the forming of the automotive body is completed and during the trimming process in which the unnecessary parts are cut. In this study, experiments on the laser surface treatment of press die are performed. Specimens are heat-treated separately at certain plate and edge position by using a diode laser to carry out suitable surface hardening treatment to reduce the wear during the drawing and the trimming processes, and the proper conditions for heat treatment are found. Spheroidal and flake graphite cast iron specimens are used, and the heat treatment characteristics of the two materials are compared. From the results of the study, it is confirmed that the heat treatment characteristics differed depending on the materials.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop a concrete public sign block for floors that can provide pedestrian safety and various information. Method: In order to achieve these research objectives, step-by-step block manufacturing techniques applied in relation to the development of public sign blocks were proposed, and the field applicability of the developed concrete public sign blocks was evaluated. Result: The concrete public sign block for floors developed in this study is expected to be capable of expressing public signs of various shapes and to reduce manufacturing cost. As a result of the usability evaluation for two years, no problems such as cracks, edge dropouts, discoloration, and abrasion were found, so it is judged that sufficient durability was secured. Conclusion: Based on these research results, it is expected that the concrete public sign block will be used as an alternative to secure the weaknesses such as stickers, stone and brass plates that have been used in the existing public sign for floors. It is expected that it can be applied in various fields.

The stone pagoda of the Bunhwangsa temple made by piling small brick-shaped stones. The major rock forming stone bricks are andesites with variable genesis. Rock properties of the pagoda roof stone suffer partly including multiple peel-offs, exfoliation, decomposition like onion peels, cracks forming round lines and falling off stone pieces. The stylobates and tabernacles in all the four directions the pagoda are mostly composed of granitic rocks. Those rock properties are heavily contaminated by lichens and mosses with the often marks of inorganic contamination by secondary hydrates that are dark black or yellowish brown. Within the four tabernacles and northern pagoda body situated to relatively high humidity. There are even light gray precipitate looking like stalactites between the northern and western rocks of the body Their major minerals are calcite, gypsum and clays. The stone lion standing in the southeast and northeast side are alkali granite, while that in the southwest and northwest lithic tuff. Total rock properties of the pagoda are 9,708 pieces, among the all properties, fractured blocks are 11.0%, fall out blocks are 6.7% and covered blocks by precipitates are 7.0%, respectively. The pagoda has highly deteriorated the functions of the rock properties due to physical, chemical and biological weathering, therefore, we suggest that this pagoda has need to do long term monitoring and synthetic conservation researches.

Lead-based pigments (Lead White, Massicot, and Red Lead) are known to cause discoloration easily in indoor air environments. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of representative indoor air environment factors ($O_2$, $CO_2$) on lead-based pigments. As a result of the experiment, almost all of the specimens showed changes of more than ${\Delta}E=5.0$ in their values of chromaticity under $O_2$ (99%, RH 99%) and $CO_2$ (36,000 ppm, RH 99%) environments. Scanning electron microscopy also showed that the pigment particles lose sharpness of the edge. Furthermore, under the degradation, the intensities of the characteristic peaks in the X-ray diffraction patterns were decreased, and Lead White, Massicot, and Red Lead exposed to $CO_2$ (36,000 ppm, RH 99%) were shown to include the new material cerussite ($PbCO_3$). In particular, Plattnerite ($PbO_2$) was identified on Massicot, and for white lead, the characteristic peaks disappeared and those of Cerussite were identified. It was confirmed that chemical change with discoloration can occur when these lead-based pigments are exposed to a high-humidity $CO_2$ environment.

In this study, in order to evaluate the damage and deterioration of the track components of sleeper floating track (STEDEF), the field samples(specimens) were taken from the serviced line over 20 years old, and the track components were visually inspected, and investigated by laboratory tests and finite element analysis. As a result of visual inspection, the damage of the rail pad and fastener was slight, but the rubber boot was worn and torn at the edges of bottom. The resilience pads were clearly examined for thickness reduction and fatigue hardening layer. As a result of spring stiffness test of rail pad and resilience pad, the deterioration of rail pad was insignificant, but the deterioration of resilience pad exceeded design standard value. Therefore resilience pad was directly affected by train passing tonnage. As a result of comparing the deterioration state of the field sample and the numerical analysis result, the stress and displacement concentration position of the finite element model and the damage position of the field sample were coincident.
