This study divided school age by considering a change in the stage of body growth by age in elementary schoolgirls with the use of body scan data, and considered by comparing body size characteristics by school age. Elementary schoolgirls' body shape cannot be divided clearly. However, ages 7-10 were bound into the same group for the majority of girth, width, and thickness items. 7-8 years old, 9-10 years old, and 11-12 years old were bound into the same group in most items except ages 9 and 10 for the height item. Thus, significant difference was indicated between groups. Accordingly, this study divided the school age into three periods such as early stage(ages 7-8), middle stage(ages 9-10), and late stage(ages 11-12) in consideration of the stages for elementary schoolgirls' body-shape growth. As a result of analyzing body size according to division of school age, the higher school age leads to continuous growth. The notable growth was indicated especially in the middle stage and late stage. Examining centering on typical items related to the clothing construction, there was notable increase in waist thickness and hip thickness between early and middle stages and in height, weight, breast girth, waist circumference, back length, breast width, and waist width between middle and late stages. On the other hand, hip circumference, hip width, breast thickness, and length between shoulder edges were indicated to grow relatively and evenly among early, middle, and late stages. The lateral form was shown a clear difference in the forms of early, middle, and late stages in height and length of the whole body shape and in side thickness. The early and middle stages belong to body shape that abdomen is projected to be curved. The late stage showed right body shape which is straight and stable form in posture.

In this paper, the 1/4 wavelength backward-wave directional coupler using coupled lines with finite metallization thickness is described. A mode-matching method, simple and fast approach to the quasi-static analysis, has been used to analyse this structure. The numerical results show that it is possible to overcome the disadvantages of weakly coupling, low directivity, and narrow strip distance non-realizable in the case of 1/4 wavelength backward-wave directional coupler with zero thickness conductor. It is also revealed that thicker metallization causes longer coupler length in the case of backward-wave symmetrical parallel coupled line directional coupler. The finite metallization thickness can be a new parameter for tight coupling in the design of backward-wave directional couplers, which enables us to design more accurate properties of monolithic microwave integrated circuits.

The effects of composition, structure design, and coating thickness of thermal barrier coating (TBC) on thermal barrier performance were investigated by measuring the temperature differences of TBC samples. TBCs with the thin and thick top coats were used for these studies, including TBCs with rare-earth (Gd, Yb, and La) compositions. The thermal barrier performance was enhanced with increasing the thickness of top coat even for thin TBCs, indicating that the thermal barrier performance was commensurate to the thickness of top coat. On the other hand, the bi-layered TBC, which was prepared with Yb-Gd-YSZ feedstock powder, with the buffer layer of high purity 8YSZ showed a better thermal barrier performance than that of regular purity 8YSZ. The interfaces in the bi-layered TBCs had a decisive effect on the thermal barrier performance, showing the performance enhanced with increasing numbers of interfaces. However, a new structural design and an additional process should be considered to reduce stress concentrations and to ensure interface stability, respectively, for improving thermal durability in the multi-layered TBCs.

This paper proposes a solution to the problems of manufacturing cost and processability by applying discrete material and thickness optimization (DMTO) and minimizing the use of high-strength, lightweight materials in the optimization process. A simple infant pop-up seat model was selected as the application target, and the weight reduction effect and variation in strength according to the optimization results were observed. In this study, a simplified finite element model of an infant pop-up seat frame was first constructed. The model was used to perform a static structural analysis to verify the weight and strength of each part. The D-optimal design of the experimental method was then used to observe the influence of each part on the weight and strength. This process was applied using discrete thickness optimization (DTO) (which applies high-strength, lightweight materials and optimizes only the thickness) and DMTO (which considers both the material and thickness). The DTO and DMTO results were compared to verify the design method that determines the major parts and simultaneously considers the material and thickness. Accordingly, in this study, an optimal lightweight design that satisfied the strength standards of the seat frame was derived. Furthermore, discretization parameters were used to minimize the application of high-strength, lightweight materials.

Largely, there are three kinds of the design criteria of piping system in petrochemical plant. The first is on the pipe thickness in accordance with the design pressure of piping system. The second is on the static state evaluation by thermal growth and the other is on the dynamic evaluation by piping vibration. According to the ASME B31.3 code, the internal pressure design thickness fur straight pipe shall be calculated as a code formula. And the static design by thermal displacement is defined 7000 cycles of fatigue life in operating the piping system with a design condition. However, the dynamic design evaluation in comparative with small displacements of high frequencies to the static condition has not established clearly the method, yet. So, this study purposes to present the trial of a proposal of dynamic design criterion on the basis of static design method.

This study investigates structural and vibration analyses according to the thickness of bicycle frame tube. The model of bicycle frame has the dimension as length of 862mm, width of 100mm and hight of 402.5mm. There are 3 kinds of models with tubes of top, down and seat at bicycle frame as thicknesses of 10, 15 and 20mm. The maximum displacement and stress occur at the center part of seat stay and at the installation part of rear wheel respectively. Maximum displacements become 0.031936, 0.029159 and 0.027984mm in cases of thicknesses of 10, 15 and 20mm respectively. In case of thickness of 20mm among 3 cases, maximum displacement becomes lowest. But maximum stresses become 10.019, 8.5492 and 9.2511MPa in cases of thicknesses of 10, 15 and 20mm respectively. In case of thickness of 15mm among 3 cases, maximum stress becomes lowest. There is no resonance at practical driving conditions and natural frequency remains almost unchanged along the change of thickness. In case of the displacement due to vibration mode, the displacement difference at thickness between 15mm and 20mm becomes 1/2 times than that between 10mm and 15mm. Design at bicycle frame tube becomes most economical and durable effectively in case of thickness of 15mm among 3 cases.

A novel design of gas sensor using Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) thin films which are deposited on low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) substrates is presented. The LTCC substrates with thickness of 400 ${\mu}m$ are fabricated by laminating 12 green tapes which consist of alumina and glass particle in an organic binder. The GZO thin films with different thickness are deposited on LTCC substrates, by RF magnetron sputtering method. The microstructure and sensing properties of GZO gas sensing films are analyzed as a function of the film thickness. The films are well crystallized in the hexagonal (wurzite) structure with increasing thickness. The maximum sensitivity of 3.49 is obtained at 100 nm film thickness and the fastest 90% response time of 27.2 sec is obtained at 50 nm film thickness for the operating temperature of $400^{\circ}C$ to the $NO_2$ gas.
