Curtain wall system of office buildings has recently become very common in Korea. As the multi-layer curtain glazing is exposed to outdoor environment, it is very subjected to direct environmental impact. Consequently, breakage and cracks of glazing due to heat expansion is frequently observed. This study explores various causes and aspects for destruction of multi-layer glazing. A sensitivity analysis was performed on the basis that thermal changes causes damage to the multi-layer glazing. Air temperature in air cavity within the multi-layer glazing was examined to find its effect on multi-layer glazing breakage. Analysis showed high deflection to depth ratio of 1:1.8 and that higher the aspect ratio, smaller is the deflection. Allowable pressure showed that the weakest value is for aspect ratio of 1:2.9. Sensitivity analysis by the area of the glazing showed that as area of glazing becomes higher, allowable pressure and deflection-depth ratio becomes smaller. For allowable pressure and allowable deflection-depth within air cavity, the glazing breakage occurred at least $107^{\circ}C$. The results from glazing breakage by thermal factor shows that it is hard to break the glazing with only an increase in air cavity temperature in multi-layer glazing applied in buildings.

The purpose of this study is to investigate experimentally the effect of polyethylene fibers with different tensile strength and aspect ratio on the properties of cementless composite. Three types of mixtures according to the types of polyethylene fibers and water-to-binder ratio were prepared and density, compressive strength and tension tests were performed. Test results showed that the mixture reinforced by polyethylene fiber with a low tensile strength by 10 % and a high aspect ratio by 8.3 % had a high tensile strain capacity by 11.7 %, a high toughness by 12.4 %, and a low crack width by 9.1 %. It was also observed that high tensile strain capacity and better cracking pattern could be achieved by increasing the water-to-binder ratio of composite although its strength is low.

An experimental investigation has been carried out to reveal the atomization process of the diesel fuel spray. The spray injected through a single hole nozzle was taken by a camera on the opposite side of a stroboscope for macroscopic observation or a nanolite for microscopic observation. The effect of nozzle aspect ratio was analyzed with disintegration phenomena of the diesel spray. Based on the enlarged spray photograph, atomization process was observed in detail and further the spray cone angle was measured under various ambient pressures. The result shows that atomization of diesel spray in early stage of injection is mainly progressed in the vicinity of spray periphery region except the region close to the nozzle exit and spray head region. The spray cone angle is nearly constant under the pressurized condition, while it decreases with elapsing time under the atmospheric condition.

This study was performed to evaluate basic characteristics of electron beam weldability for high strength aluminum alloys. The aluminum alloys used were A5083 and A6N01, and A7N01. The principal welding process parameters, such as accelerating voltage, beam current, welding speed and chamber pressure were investigated. The dimension and microstructure of welds were evaluated with OLM, and SEM (EDAX). In addition, weldability variation(cracking) due to process parameters was also evaluated. The degree of cracking in the EB fusion zone appears to be affected mainly by aspect ratio, such that as aspect ratio increases the cracking tendency also increases. The alloying element itself may also affect the hot cracking resistance, but its role is considered to be indirect effect such that the relatively higher vaporization pressure elements of Zn and Mg give deeper weld penetration and thus results in greater cracking tendency.

Generally, space structures are subjected to severe situations, such as, sublimation, strong evaporation of lubricants, thermal stresses, high temperature gradients, irradiation, impacts by microscopic meteorites, and other factors. Recent]y, various kinds of coatings are applied to the parts under heavy contact stresses, in order to insure long wear-free lives and/or reduce friction coefficients. In space structures, molybdenum disulfide is using frequently. Moreover TiN, Al$_2$O$_3$, PTFE(Poly Tetra Fluor Ethylene) are introduced recently for space structure. In this part we are going to apply the partial model method, developed in reference[11] to analyze part with coated layer. In referencer[l1], we compute the reasonable size of partial model and aspect ratio. Using these data, we analyze the structures coated with TiN, Al$_2$O$_3$, PTFE under contact load, temperature and crack model . Beside, we consider the stress analysis under time dependent load and transient thermal effect.

The feature scale model for selective chemical vapor deopsition process was proposed and the simulation was performed to study the selectivity and uniformity of deposited thin film using Monte Carlo method and string algorithm. The effect of model parameters such as sticking coefficient, aspect ratio, and surface diffusion coefficient on the deposited thin film pattern was improved for lower sticking coefficient and higher aspect ratio. It was revealed that the selectivity loss ascrives to the surface diffusion. Different values of sticking coefficients on Si and on SiO2 surface greatly influenced the deopsited thin film profile. In addition, as the lateral wall angle decreased, the selectively deposited film had improved uniformity except the vicinity of trench wall. The optimum eondition for the most flat selective film deposition pattern is the case with low sticking coefficient and slightly increased surface diffusion coefficient.

Impact extrusion is an economical and productive process that can replace the multistage deep drawing process for producing deep rectangular cases. In the current work, a three-dimensional finite element analysis of the impact extrusion process of a commercial purity aluminum alloy (AA1070) was performed to predict loads, material flow, and deformed shapes using the Hansel-Spittel rheology law, which describes the flow stress at various temperatures and strain rates. The role of various process parameters such as friction, clearance between punch and die, aspect ratio and thickness of billet on the process and the shapes was analyzed.

Thin-wall injection molding is associated with many advantages, including increased portability, the conserving of materials, and the reduction of the molding cycle times. In the application of the thin-wall molding, a considerable reduction of the effective flow thickness results in filling difficulty. High-frequency induction is an efficient way to overcome this filling difficulty by means of heating the mold surface by electromagnetic induction. The present study applies the induction heating to the injection molding of thinwalled micro structures with high aspect ratio. The feasibility of the proposed heating method is investigated through a numerical analysis. The estimated filling characteristics of the micro-features are investigated with variations of mold temperature and part thickness, of which results are also compared with experimental measurements.

Silicon oil in viscous fluid damper has a viscoelastic feature that show stiffness besides damping. These properties depend on frequency and are non-linear. A lot of research has been conducted in order to identify viscoelastic damper with mathematical model. Fractional Derivative Maxwell Model has been widely used, but this model did not explain the effect of damper size change on the damper performance. In this paper, the experimental study was conducted to validate damper's dynamic behaviors when total damper's size is changed while maintaining same aspect ratio and orifice size.

A numerical analysis was carried out on the heat and mass transfer, and pressure drop characteristics of the modular tube bundle heat exchanger. The finite volume method with a $k-\varepsilon$ turbulence model was used for the analysis. Due to condensation, the total heat transfer rate is observed about $4\~8\%$ higher than that on dry surfaces. Total heat transfer rate increases with increase in the velocity, temperature and relative humidity of incoming air. It also increases with decreasing the aspect ratio of heat exchanger tube. The inlet velocity of cooling water has little effect on the total heat transfer when the other conditions are fixed.
