본 연구에서는 정밀진단가공을 위한 파인 블랭킹 기술 개발을 위한 파인 블랭킹용 전용 프레스를 사용 하지 않고 범용 유압 프레스에서 조보 유압 장치에 의해 압력을 조절해가면서 가공특성에 관한 실험적 연구와 이론 해석을 수행한다. 실험을 위해 파인 블랭킹 금형과 유압 장치를 설계 제작하고, 정밀진단 특성에 제일 큰 영향을 미치고 있는 V-돌기( Vee-ring)의 유무와 위치 그리고 스트리핑력 및 카운터 펀 칭력 변화에 따른 제품 정밀도를 조사해 가면서 최적의 정밀도 예측 수단으로 적절함을 확인할 수 있었으며, 실험결과는 작업 조건에 관계없이 모든 제품이 깨끗한 전단면을 나타내고 있으며, 일반적으로 스트리핑력이 감소할수록, 그리고 카운터 펀칭력이 증가할수록 캠버량이 감소하고 특히 카운터 펀칭력에 큰 영향을 받고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이와같은 현상은 유한 요소해석에 의한 캠버량의 예측에섣고 정성적으로 잘 일치하고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Physico-chemical properties of asphalt, aggregate, and asphalt-aggregate mixture that might influence stripping were summarized in Table 1, based on the fundamental theories concerning stripping. It was found that although physical properties of aggregate affected stripping, there was no strong correlation between the physical properties of aggregate, such as pore volume and surface area, and the stripping propensity of the aggregate. Chemical and electrochemical properties of aggregate surface in the presence of water were most important factors for stripping. All mineral aggregates tested in this study imparted distinctive pH values to the contacting water and possessed distinctive electrochemical properties as measured by zeta potential. It was found that aggregates which had relatively higher surface potential in water and/or which imparted relatively higher pH to the contacting water were more susceptible to stripping. The functionalities contained in antistripping additives tested were primary and secondary amines and those of organic nitrogen compounds. The functionalities were determined by examining their infrared spectra. Based on the interfacial energy concept, the contact angle of an asphalt drop on an aggregate surface immersed in water related to the stripping propensity. The contact angle and stripping propensity were markedly reduced by the presence of an antistripping additive. In general, all the additives tested improved stripping resistance to some extent, depending on their concentration in the asphalts. The optimum dosage of an additive varied with different asphalts, as well as different aggregates. All antistripping additives tested in this study lost their effectiveness and failed to function to some extent when maintained for hours in a hot asphalt.

This study is performed for investigating the effects of stripping and counter punching forces on shearing characteristics in fine blanking of T-shaped products, such as camber, burr-height and dimensional accuracy, etc by experiments. Conventional hydraulic press is used for experiments so that both the stripping force and counter punching force can be arbitrarily adjusted by another hydraulic unit connected to the fine blanking die. Specimens are selected as hot rolled steel sheet and carbon steel sheet commonly used in auto- mobile company. Based on the experimental results, both the dimensional accuracy and the burr height are not influenced by the stripping and counter punching forces, wherease the camber height representing dish- shaped deflection is much influenced by them, it can be seen through this study that the finely cut surface of T-shaped blank can be obtained even in conventional hydraulic press if additional equipments and specially designed die are employed.

This study is performed for investigating the effects of stripping and counter punching force on shearing characteristics in fine blanking, such as camber, burr-height and dimensional accuracy, etc by experiments. Conventional hydraulic press equipped with specially designed hydraulic unit is used for experiments so that both the stripping force and counter punching force are arbitrarily adjusted according to experimental conditions. Two kinds of materials, hot rolled steel sheet(1mm, 3mm) and pure aluminum(1mm, 3mm) are selected in order to examine the influence of strength and thickness of working materials in blanking of T-shaped products. Based on the experimental results of this study, it can be concluded that the finely cut surface of sheared blank can be obtained even in conventional hydraulic press if additional equipments and special dies are employed.

Ursolic acid (UA) and Oleanolic acid (ONA), known as urson, micromerol and malol, are pentacyclic triterpenoid compounds which naturally occur in a large number of vegetarian foods, medicinal herbs, and plants. They may occur in their free acid form or as aglycones for triterpenoid saponins, which are comprised of a triterpenoid aglycone, linked to one or more sugar moieties. Therefore UA and ONA are similar in pharmacological activity. Lately scientific research, which led to the identification of UA and ONA, revealed that several pharmacological effects, such as antitumor, hepato-protective, anti-inflammatory, anticarcinogenic, antimicrobial, and anti-hyperlipidemic could be attributed to UA and ONA. Here, we introduced the effect of UA and ONA on acutely barrier disrupted and normal hairless mouse skin. To evaluate the effects of UA and ONA on epidermal permeability barrier recovery, both flanks of 8-12 week-old hairless mice were topically treated with either 0.01-0.1mg/mL UA or 0.1-1mg/mL ONA after tape stripping, and TEWL (transepidermal water loss) was measured. The recovery rate increased in those UA or ONA treated groups (0.1mg/mL UA and 0.5mg/mL ONA) at 6h more than 20% compared to vehicle treated group (p < 0.05). Here, we introduced the effects of UA and ONA on acute barrier disruption and normal epidermal permeability barrier function. For verifying the effects of UA and ONA on normal epidermal barrier, hydration and TEWL were measured for 1 and 3 weeks after UA and ONA applications (2mg/mL per day). We also investigated the features of epidermis and dermis using electron microscopy (EM) and light microscopy (LM). Both samples increased hydration compared to vehicle group from 1 week without TEWL alteration (p < 0.005). EM examination using RuO4 and OsO4 fixation revealed that secretion and numbers of lamellar bodies and complete formation of lipid bilayers were most prominent (ONA=UA > vehicle). LM finding showed that thickness of stratum corneum (SC) was slightly increased and especially epidermal thickening and flattening was observed (UA > ONA > vehicle). We also observed that UA and ONA stimulate epidermal keratinocyte differentiation via PPAR Protein expression of involucrin, loricrin, and filaggrin increased at least 2 and 3 fold in HaCaT cells treated with either ONA (10${\mu}$M) or UA (10${\mu}$M) for 24 h respectively. This result suggested that the UA and ONA can improve epidermal permeability barrier function and induce the epidermal keratinocyte differentiation via PPAR Using Masson-trichrome and elastic fiber staining, we observed collagen thickening and elastic fiber elongation by UA and ONA treatments. In vitro results of collagen and elastin synthesis and elastase inhibitory activity measurements were also confirmed in vivo findings. These data suggested that the effects of UA and ONA related to not only epidermal permeability barrier functions but also dermal collagen and elastic fiber synthesis. Taken together, UA and ONA can be relevant candidates to improve epidermal and dermal functions and pertinent agents for cosmeseutical applications.
