Up to now, the existing crack growth modelling has used a mathematical approximation but an assumed function have a great influence on this method. Especially, crack growth behavior that shows very strong nonlinearity needed complicated function which has difficulty in setting parameter of it. The main characteristics of neural network modelling to engineering field are simple calculations and absence of assumed function. In this paper, after discussing learning and generalization of neural networks, we performed crack growth modelling on the basis of above learning algorithms. J'-da/dt relation predicted by neural networks shows that test condition with unlearned data is simulated well within estimated mean error(5%).

Using rice husk ash as silica, the influence of the firing temperature and holding time on the color intensity of Pr-$ZrSiO_4$ pigments were investigated. The Pr-yellow pigments were calcined at 500, 700, 800, 900, 950, 1000, $1100^{\circ}C$ in a ceramic method. The synthesized pigments were characterized by DT-TG thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and SEMEDAX analysis. The relationship between the zircon phase-formation growth and Pr-yellow color development was evaluated and the optimum firing conditions were determined. The color of the pigment samples was characterized on the grounds of the Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) standard procedure (CIE $L^*a^*b^*$ measurement) after an application on the bisque ceramic tile.

In this paper conventional technique will be described, which can be used for the measuring various parameters of induction motor. This is followed by presenting some other, alternative, techniques. The two tests are described which are suitable to obtain the electrical parameters of symmetrical 1hp three-phase squirrel-cage induction motor. These are the blocked rotor test and no load test. By the application of these, it is possible to determine the parameters which are presented in the steady-state equivalent-circuit of determining an induction motor. One conventional method of determining the inertia of an induction motors is obtained by performing retardation tests. The angular rotor speed of the motor is monitored, following its disconnection from the stator supply. Since the inertia torque J dw/dt contains the inertia coefficient J and the friction and windage torque Bw contains the coefficient B, then J and B can be determined by performing retardation tests.

This paper investigates a method to improve the breakdown voltage characteristics of a gas discharge arrester (GDA) for a surge suppressor. The middle electrode is inserted between two terminal electrodes. Voltage application to the electrode synchronized and amplified by the impulse voltage decreases spark overvoltage from 45% to 57.6%. The decrease is caused by higher voltage slope, as opposed to applied impulse voltage (by 5.5 to 6.2 times). In addition, the GDA model using ATP-Draw was used to analyze the operation characteristics of GDAs. The test and simulation results agree to within 2% when the trigger source was used.

In this paper, principles of impedance tenchinque and relationship between stroke volume and impedance change were theoretically explained. An impedance cardiograph was designed and constructed. Its reproducibility was verified by experiment. Until now, the peak point of dZ/dt waveform, first derivative of impedance change(${\Delta}$Z) , has been detected by software technique requiring considerable time to process. However in this paper its peak point was found using hardware for saving processing time. Useful cardiac parameters such as stroke volume and contractility of cardiac muscle were measured noninvasively. The reproducibility of the instrument was measured to be better(less than 10%) than that of clinical standard method such as thermodilution (more than 30%). Hence impedance cardiography was found to be better techique for monitoring stroke volume and myocardial contractility for pre and post operation, and pharmacological studies.

As the ensemble averaged dZ/dt signal during exercise is smoothed, it is difficult to find the distinctive marks. The cross correlation function was made use of estmating these marks. LVET was calculated based on the calculated parameters of the characteristic points. For the accuracy validation, LVET calculated by hand, by the ensemble average and the cross correl at ion were compared.

In this study we investigated the gelation time of sol which containing mixtures of TEOS with H2O, ethanol, HCl in the preparation of monolithic silica glass through Sol-Gel method. In this case apparent activation energies were observed by Arrhenius equation. We investigated the conversion from gel to glass in drying and heat treatment stages using DT-TG, FT-IR, XRD analysis and dried gel conversed to glass by heat treatment up to 85$0^{\circ}C$. The results of this experiment showed that the gelation time of solutions were promoted when increasing the amount of addition of H2O and HCl catalyst for TEOS and high reaction temperature of solution.

In designing $SF_6$ puffer circuit breakers, analyzing are behavior during current zero region and thermal recovery characteristics after current interrupt ion is very important. In this paper, a mathematical are model based on the integral method has been based to analyze them. The pressure rise in the puffer chamber and the distributions of pressure, density, velocity and enthalpy inside nozzle are calculated and analyzed at current zero region. The influence of fault current magnitude and change of di/dt at current zero on the interruption capability of puffer circuit breakers is investigated. Finally, the calculated results are compared with the available results from experiment.

The aggregates with the different mineralogical features are studied how to affect the basic physical properties of concretes according to the changes of the chemical composition, mineralogical composition, crystal size, the standard qualities in the aggregates in using chemical analysis, X.R.D. DT-TGA, polarized light microscope, streoscopic microscope, standard test method of aggregates & concretes. At this studies, we found that aggregates without the seathered mineral such as muscovite & kaolin mineral etc, is superior to the others with the weathered mineral, even if it's standard qualities are inferiored to the other's. For examples, in manufacturing high strength concretes. The strength of concretes used aggregates without weathered mineral are improved about 15% than the other's and also. For general mixture to manufacture remicon, more about 10-20% than the other's strength and workability.

The Mg($_{1-x}$ )S $r_{x}$Ti $O_3$(x=0.1,0.2,0.3) ceramics were prepared by the conventional mixed oxide method. The structural properties were investigated with calcining temperature and composition ratio by XRD and DT-TGA. Increasing the calcining temperature from 80$0^{\circ}C$ to 100$0^{\circ}C$, second phase was decreased and average particle size was increased. The SrTi $O_3$ ceramics of calcined at 100$0^{\circ}C$ had a structure of polycrystalline perovskite without the secondary phases. The average particle size of the $Mg_{0.9}$S $r_{0.1}$Ti $O_3$ ceramics calcined at 100$0^{\circ}C$ were 0.67${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$..>......
