The paper presents the dynamic instability of a disc brake pad subjected to distributed friction forces. A brake pad can be modeled as a beam with two translational springs. The study of this prototypical model is intended to provide a fundamental understanding of disc brake pad instabilities. Governing equations of motion are derived form energy expressions and their corresponding solutions are obtained by employing the finite element method. The critical distributed friction force and the instability regions are demonstrated by changing two translational spring constants. Finally, the changes of eigen-frequencies of a beam determining instability types are investigated for various combinations of two spring constants.

The kinetics of photoinitiated polymerization of dimethacrylate macromonomers have been studied to determine the diffusion-controlled reaction parameters using attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). A predicted kinetic rate expression with a diffusion control factor was employed to estimate an effective rate constant and to define the reaction-controlled and diffusion-controlled regimes in the photopolymerization. An effective rate constant, k$_{e}$, can be obtained from the predicted kinetic rate expression. At the earlier stages of polymerization, the average values of kinetic rate constants do not vary during the reaction time. As the reaction conversion, $\alpha$, reaches the critical conversion, $\alpha$$_{c}$, in the predicted kinetic expression, the reaction becomes to be controlled by diffusion due to the restricted mobility of dimethacrylate macromonomers. A drop in value of effective rate constant causes a drastic decrease of reaction rate at the later stages of polymerization. By determining the effective rate constants, the reaction-controlled and diffusion-controlled regimes were properly defined even in the photopolymerization reaction system.m.m.

This paper deals with the dynamic stability of a brake shoe under pulsating frictional forces. A lining part of brake systems is assumed as a distributed spring, and the supported elements of a shoe are assumed as translational springs for a constant distributed frictional force and a pulsating frictional force. Governing equations are derived by the use of the extended Hamilton's principle, and numerical results are calculated by finite element method. The critical distributed frictional force and instability regions were investigated for the change of distributed spring constants and translational spring constants.

The existing vapor pressure measurements reported in the literature for parahydrogen between the triple point and the critical point have been employed to establish the constants and exponent of the following equation in the form of reduced vapor pressure and reduced temperature: ln $lnP_r=2.64-{\frac{2.75}{T_r}}+1.48129lnT_r+0.11T^5_r$Only the normal boiling point ($T_b$= 20.268K), the critical pressure ($P_c$= 1292.81 kPa), and the critical temperature ($T_c$= 32.976K) are necessary to calculate the vapor pressure for an overall average deviation of 0.21% for 153 experimental vapor pressure data.

The plane contact problem for two infinite elastic layers whose elastic constants and heights are different is considered. The layers lying on a Winkler foundation are acted upon by symmetrical distributed loads whose lengths are 2a applied to the upper layer and uniform vertical body forces due to the effect of gravity in the layers. It is assumed that the contact between two elastic layers is frictionless and that only compressive normal tractions can be transmitted through the interface. The contact along the interface will be continuous if the value of the load factor, ${\lambda}$, is less than a critical value. However, interface separation takes place if it exceeds this critical value. First, the problem of continuous contact is solved and the value of the critical load factor, ${\lambda}_{cr}$, is determined. Then, the discontinuous contact problem is formulated in terms of a singular integral equation. Numerical solutions for contact stress distribution, the size of the separation areas, critical load factor and separation distance, and vertical displacement in the separation zone are given for various dimensionless quantities and distributed loads.

The periodic multilayer is considered as the X-ray reflection mirror. High X-ray reflectivity from the incident angle greater than the grazing critical angle can be obtained by the periodic multilayer structure. The Optical constants are investigated in order to determine the material for X-ray reflection mirror. The X-ray reflection mirror is designed for W, Si using computer simulation. The reflectivity is calculated for various incident angles and ratio of thickness.

Acetaminophen, fenbufen, and mefenamic acid tablets were formulated with the same additives, granulated to different sizes, ranging $30{\sim}200mesh$, and compressed by pressure of $0.5{\sim}2.0\;ton{\cdot}cm^{-2}$. The hardness and disintegration time of the three tablets were determined. The dissolution rates of the three tablets at critical point of pressure were investigated. The results showed that fenbufen, and mefenamic acid tablet had critical compression pressure of $1.0\;ton{\cdot}cm^{-2}$, but acetaminophen tablet had that of $1.5\;ton{\cdot}cm^{-2}$. Neverthless, three tablets were disintegrated within 5 min. Among the three tablets, mefenamic acid tablet followed zero order of dissolution and the rate constants were as fellows; $1.68 \;mg{\cdot}min^{-1}\;(30{\sim}50mesh),\;1.76mg{\cdot} min^{-1}\;(50{\sim}80\;mesh)\;and\;4.85\;mg{\cdot}min^{-1}\;(80{\sim}200mesh)$.

This study were predicted the corrosion threshold reached at steel reinforcement in latex modified concrete(LMC) which were applied the agricultural hydraulic concrete structures. Accelerated testing was accomplished to the evaluate the diffusion coefficient of LMC mix, and the time dependent constants of diffusion. Also, the average chloride diffusion coefficient was estimated. From the average chloride ion diffusion coefficient, the time which critical chloride contents at depth of reinforcement steel was estimated. Test results indicated that the corrosion threshold reached at reinforcement in LMC were effected on the mix proportion factor including cement contents, latex content, and water-cement ratio. Especially, the average chloride diffusion coefficient, the corrosion threshold reached at reinforcement in LMC were affected by the all mix proportion factor.

This paper presents a prediction of critical heat flux (CHF) in bubbly flow regime using dry-spot model proposed recently by authors for pool and flow boiling CHF and existing correlations for forced convective heat transfer coefficient, active site density and bubble departure diameter in nucleate boiling region. Without any empirical constants always present in earlier models, comparisons of the model predictions with experimental data for upward flow of water in vertical, uniformly-heated round tubes are performed and show a good agreement. The parametric trends of CHF have been explored with respect to variations in pressure, tube diameter and length, mass flux and inlet subcooling.

A LEOPARD library was updated from the ENDF/B-IV evaluated data using ETOT-3-ETOG-3 code system. The applicability of the library was assessed through benchmark tests for many light water-moderated critical assemblies, and adjustment techniques were applied to group constants to fit critical experiments. It is confirmed that the library from ENDF/B-IV, coupled with the use of LEOPARD code, leads to reasonable results for light water-moderated UO$_2$ fueled cores with the above adjustments.
