A quick-acting hydraulic fuse, which is mainly composed of a poppet, a seat, and a spring, must be designed to minimize the leaked oil volume during fuse operation on a line rupture. The optimal design parameters of a quick-acting hydraulic fuse were searched using the design of experiments method and the complex method. First, the $L_{50}(5^4)$ orthogonal array is used to find the robust minimum point among the 625 points of design variables. The search range can then be narrowed around the robust minimum point. Second, the $L_{25}(5^4)$ orthogonal array is used to obtain the variations of the design variables in the narrowed search range. The variations of design variables are used to set the structure of a polynomial equation representing the leakage oil volume of the quick-acting hydraulic fuse. The least squares method is then applied to obtain the coefficients of polynomial equation. Finally, the complex method is used to find the optimal design parameters where the objective function is described by the polynomial equation.

The QUICK scheme for convection terms is modified for unstructured finite volume method by using linear reconstruction technique and validated through the computation of two well defined laminar flows. It uses two upstream grid points and one downstream grid point in approximating the convection terms. The most upstream grid point is generated by considering both the direction of flow and local grid line. Its value is calculated from surrounding grid points by using a linear construction method. Numerical error by the modified QUICK scheme is shown to decrease about 2.5 times faster than first order upwind scheme as grid size decreases. Computations are also carried out to see effects of the skewness and irregularity of grid on numerical solution. All numerical solutions show that the modified QUICK scheme is insensitive to both the skewness and irregularity of grid in terms of the accuracy of solution.

Railroad, the structure maintenance and restoration project was increased and widely performed in concrete pavement road and airport, building at downtown area, bridge abutment, and other concrete structures. Especially, the ground reinforcement technique by quick-reaction expansible resins is the most effective countermeasures against differential settlement and undesired deformation of structure. In this paper, the unconfined compressive strength and some environmental related tests were conducted to evaluate compressive strength and environmental effect of quick-reaction expansive resins and soil mixtures. Also, three case histories of concrete structure and railroad restoration project are presented. Based on the laboratory test, the quick-reaction expansible resins and soil mixture represent the sufficient compressive strength and the leachate material is satisfied the environmental regulation limits. As a result of this study, the structure restoration technology using quick-reaction expansible resins is very effective for restoration of differential settlement and deformation, and it is environmentally sustainable technology.

We have performed experimental studies for the improvements of pneumatic brake systems of freight trains. Currently, most of the freight trains operated by the Korean National Railroad have either empty-load or diaphragm type brake systems. In this study, appropriate methods that the air pressure characteristics in both type of brake systems are in accordance with each other have been investigated. We have also performed running tests using a 30 car-train set to design optimum capacity of a quick release valve. The test results show that the quick release valve is considerably effective in shortening the release time of the diaphragm type brake system. In the case of a normal brake application, the diaphragm type brake system with the quick release valve reduces the release time to 34% of that of the system without the quick release valve. This release time is almost equivalent to that of the empty-load type brake system. Accordance of braking performance in different types of brake systems in a train set is expected to prevent wheel flats and to reduce maintenance costs.

A hydraulic quick coupler is a component used to easily connect or disconnect pipes or hoses that transfer high pressure fluid without leakage in various mechanical devices. In this study, to obtain an optimal design of a 3/8" hydraulic quick coupler, the effect of different shapes of the internal piston on the internal flow characteristics of the coupler was analyzed and evaluated through numerical analysis based on computational fluid dynamics. Subsequently, the optimal shape design of the internal piston was obtained by comparing the flow characteristics results such as velocity distribution, temperature distribution, and the pressure drop of the hydraulic quick coupler.

Effective and quick methods that are easy to carry out even by hand, or easy to be programmed by hand-held calculators are needed for assessing the sizes of contrasts of unreplicated $2^P$ factorial designs. Moreover, they have the advantage to use the original numerical measurements which makes the analysis easier to explain. Basically, Lenth (1989) is one of the most familiar of such quick and powerful methods. Later on, Aboukalam (2001) proposes under constant effects an alternative sophisticated method to Lenth's method. The proposed method is the supreme from two considerable powers. The first utmost indicates less inflation deficiency while the other utmost indicates less shrinkage deficiency. Also under constant effects, Al-Shiha (2006) introduces an alternative quick method which is less shrinkage deficiency while the inflation deficiency is the same. If effects are random, Aboukalam (2005) introduces an alternative quick method in which the first power is favored as long as the second power is within a small margin. In the spirit of quickness and fixed effects, this article adds another method which is supreme from the two considerable powers. The method is based on a one step of the scale-part of a suggested M-estimate for location. Explicitly, we suggest adapting the skipped median (ASKM) estimate. Critical values of ASKM-method, for several sample sizes often used, are empirically computed.

Admixture compounds for shortening setting time and accelerating early strength development of EVA polymer powder-modified mortars were made by mixing various quick setting agents. As a result, the quick setting agents contribute to strength development of the mortars in the early curing age of 168h or less. In the viewpoint of early strength development of EVA polymer powder-modified mortars, an quick setting agent content of 20$\%$ is recommended. Early strength of EVA polymer powder-modified mortars expresses the excellent strength with 5$\%$, 10$\%$ of rates of polymer mixing. The rate of polymer mixing was able to be adjusted and flexural strength which is a predeterminded initial strength was also able to satisfy 3MPa(s).
