In this study, a new understanding is presented on the microcracking behavior of high strength concrete (HSC) with steel fiber addition having prior compressive loading history. Microcracking behavior at critical stress (σcr) region, using seven fiber addition volume of 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, and 2.0% was evaluated, at two aspect ratios (60 and 75). The specimens were loaded up to a specified compressive stress levels (0.70fc-0.96fc), and subsequently subjected to split tensile tests. This was followed by microscopic analyses afterwards. Four compressive stress levels as percentage of fc were selected according to the linearity end point based on stress-time (σ-t) diagram under uniaxial compression. It was seen that pre-compression has an effect on the linearity end point as well as fiber addition where it lies within 85-91% of fc. Tensile strength gain was observed in some cases with respect to the 'maiden' tensile strength as oppose to tensile strength loss due to the fiber addition with teething effect. Aggregate cracking was the dominant failure mode instead of bond cracks due to improved matrix quality. The presence of the steel fiber improved the extensive failure pattern of cracks where it changes from 'macrocracks' to a branched network of microcracks especially at higher fiber dosages. The applied pre-compression resulted in hardening effect, but the cracking process is similar to that in concrete without fiber addition.

The effect of refrigerant R-134a and R-430a on the performance of refrigeration equipment for R-134a is investigated. Refrigeration effect, compression work and coefficient of performance of refrigeration equpment for both R-134a and R-430a are obtained by experimentation. These performances comparison between R-134a and R-430a is made in case of the maximum load. Refrigeration effect for R-134a and that for R-430a is almost equal while compression work for R-134a is less than that for R-430a. Consequently it shows that coefficient of performance for R-134a is relatively 11% higher than that for R-430a.

Microforming is a very efficient and economical technology to fabricate very small metallic parts in various applications. In order to extend the use of this forming technology for the production of microparts, the size effect, which occurs with the reduction of part size and affects the forming process significantly, must be thoroughly investigated. In this study, the tribological size effect in microforming was studied using modeling and scaled ring compression experiments. A micro-scale friction approach based on the slip-line field theory and lubricant pocket model was used to understand the friction mechanism and explain the tribological size effect. Ring compression tests were performed to analyze the interfacial friction condition from the deformation characteristics of the ring specimens. In addition, finite element analysis results were utilized to quantitatively determine the size-dependent frictional behavior of materials in various process conditions. By comparing theoretical results and experimental measurements for different size factors, the accuracy and reliability of the model were verified.

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a representative disease, and LBP is characterized by muscle dysfunction that provides stability to the lumbar spine. This causes physical functional problems such as decreased posture control ability by reducing the muscular endurance and balance of the lumbar spine. Pelvic compression using instruments, which has been used during recent stabilization exercises, focuses on the anterior superior iliac spine of the pelvis and puts pressure on the sacroiliac joint during exercise, making the pelvis more symmetrical and stable. Currently, research has been actively conducted on the use of pelvic compression belts and non-elastic pelvic belts; however, few studies have conducted research on the application effect of pelvic compression using instruments. Objects: This study aimed to investigate whether there is a difference in trunk muscular endurance and dynamic and static balance ability levels by applying pelvic stabilization through a pelvic compression device between the LBP group and the non-LBP group. Methods: Thirty-nine subjects currently enrolled in Daejeon University were divided into 20 subjects with LBP group and 19 subjects without LBP (NLBP group), and the groups were compared with and without pelvic compression. The trunk muscular endurance test was performed with 4 movements, the dynamic balance test was performed using a Y-balance test, and the static balance test was performed using a Wii balance board. Results: There was a significant difference the LBP group and the NLBP group after pelvic compression was applied to all tests (p < 0.05). In the static and dynamic balance ability test after pelvic compression was applied, there was a significant difference in the LBP group than in the NLBP group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: These results show that pelvic compression using instruments has a positive effect on both those with and without LBP and that it has a greater impact on balance ability when applied to those with LBP.

The material properties of rubber was determined by the experiments of uniaxial tension, uniaxial compression, planer tension, equi-biaxial tension and volumetric compression. In compression test, it is difficult to obtain the pure state of compression stress and strain due to friction force between the specimen and compression platen. In this study, the stress and strain data from the equi-biaxial tension test were converted to compression stress and strain and compared to a perfect state of simple compression data when friction was zero. The compression test device with the tapered platen was proposed to overcome the effect of friction. It was turned out that the relationship of the stress and strain using the tapered platen was in close agreement with the pure compressive state.

The Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) is a standara still-image compression technique, established by the International for Standardization (ISO) and International Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITUT). The standard is intended to be utilized in the various kinds of color still imaging systems as a standard color image coding format. Because JPEG is a lossy compression, the decompressed image pixel values are nto the same as values before compression. Image of JPEG compression is often made to JPEG recompression at saving to apply JPEG compression of color image. In general, JPEG is a lossy compression and compression image is predicted to be varied image quality according to recompressed Q-factor. Various distortions of JPEG compression and JPEG recompression has been reported in previous paper. In this paper, we compress four difference color samples (photo image, gradient image, vector drawing image, text image) according to various Q-factor, and then compressed images are recompressed according to various Q-factor once again. As the results, we inspect variation of quality and file size of recompressed color image, and ensure the optimum recompression factor.

Aiming at the poor compression quality of traditional image compression coding (ICC) algorithm, a multi-description ICC algorithm based on depth learning is put forward in this study. In this study, first an image compression algorithm was designed based on multi-description coding theory. Image compression samples were collected, and the measurement matrix was calculated. Then, it processed the multi-description ICC sample set by using the convolutional self-coding neural system in depth learning. Compressing the wavelet coefficients after coding and synthesizing the multi-description image band sparse matrix obtained the multi-description ICC sequence. Averaging the multi-description image coding data in accordance with the effective single point's position could finally realize the compression coding of multi-description images. According to experimental results, the designed algorithm consumes less time for image compression, and exhibits better image compression quality and better image reconstruction effect.

하지정맥류 발생을 억제하기 위한 방법으로 압박스타킹 착용이 폭넓게 이용되고 있지만, 압박스타킹 착용으로 인한 인체의 생리지표에 어떤 영향을 줄 수 있는지는 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 압박스타킹을 장시간 착용할 경우 어떤 생리적 지표가 변화될 수 있는지 실험을 통해 확인하였다. 압박스타킹 착용으로 인해 변화될 수 있을 것으로 예측되는 생리지표인 혈압, 심전도, 발목 상완지수, 근전도를 측정하였다. 압박스타킹은 시중에서 구입할 수 있는 20~30 mmHg 정도의 압력을 가진 것으로 종아리를 덮는 형태의 것을 사용하였다. 6명의 20 초반 성인이 한쪽 다리에만 7일간 착용을 하였고, 실험 기간 중 몸을 씻기 위해 벗는 것을 제외하고는 늘 착용한 상태에서 일상생활을 하였다. 실험을 시작하기 직전, 3일째 되는 날, 7일째 되는 날에 혈압, 심전도, 근전도, 발목상완지수의 변화를 압박스타킹을 착용한 다리와 착용하지 않은 다리에서 각각 측정하였다. 측정한 결과 착용한 다리의 앞정강이근과 장딴지근에서 근전도의 증가가 나타났으며 다른 생리지표는 변화가 없었다. 근전도의 증가는 시간이 길어질수록 이에 비례하여 증가하였다. 압박스타킹을 착용하지 않은 다리에서는 시간이 지남에 따라 오히려 근전도가 감소하는 결과가 나타났다. 근전도 감소 역시 시간이 길어질수록 감소폭이 커졌다. 즉 이번 실험은 압박스타킹의 착용이 해당 근육의 근전도를 증가시킬 수 있음을 나타내고, 착용하지 않은 부위에서 의도치 않은 근전도의 감소를 일으킬 수 있음을 나타낸다. 이번 연구에서는 압박스타킹의 장시간 착용에 따른 생리적 변화에 대한 결과를 알아봄으로써 올바른 사용에 대한 정보를 제공하고 착용에 따른 위험요소를 알아 볼 수 있는 결과를 제공한다.

고분자전해질 연료전지 성능에서 기체확산층 압축률은 계면 접촉 저항과 전극으로의 반응물 전달 및 전극 내 수분 포화도에 영향을 주는 중요한 변수이다. 본 연구에서는 국내 상용 제품인 JNT20-A3를 이용하여 기체확산층 압축률에 대한 연료전지의 성능 평가를 수행하였다. 전극면적 25 ㎠ 단위 전지를 이용하여 상대습도 조건과 압축률에 대한 전기화학 임피던스 분광법과 분극 곡선을 측정하였다. 기체확산층을 18.6%에서 38.1%으로 압축시켰을 때 상대습도 100, 25% 조건에서 ohmic 저항이 각각 8, 30 mΩ·㎠이 감소하여 기체확산층 압축률이 증가할수록 접촉 저항이 감소하는 것과 동시에 막의 수화도가 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 상대습도 조건에 대한 ohmic 저항의 변화 경향을 통하여, 압축률을 증가시켰을 때 기체확산층의 기공이 감소하여 공기극에서의 물 역확산과 전해질 막의 수화도가 증가하는 것을 확인하였다.
