In this study, flow analysis and dehumidification experiment were conducted on hollow fiber membrane module to determine the dehumidification characteristics of its various configurations. A quantitative analysis of the CFD for four different models with a temperature of $30^{\circ}C$ and 30%RH inlet humidity was conducted. Each model has different shape parameters i.e. the number of hollow fiber membranes and the presence or absence of baffles. After comparison between the flow analysis results and dehumidification experiment results, the percentage error was found to be approximately 2%. The moisture removal rate for each model was calculated using flow analysis data. It was found that the moisture removal rate of refined model with three baffles and eight hollow fiber membranes was highest among the four modeled modules of hollow fiber membrane one, i.e. about 60%.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of reinforcing materials on the fracture resistances of glass fiber mesh- and Cr-Co metal mesh-reinforced maxillary complete dentures under fatigue loading. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Glass fiber mesh- and Cr-Co mesh-reinforced maxillary complete dentures were fabricated using silicone molds and acrylic resin. A control group was prepared with no reinforcement (n = 15 per group). After fatigue loading was applied using a chewing simulator, fracture resistance was measured by a universal testing machine. The fracture patterns were analyzed and the fractured surfaces were observed by scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS. After cyclic loading, none of the dentures showed cracks or fractures. During fracture resistance testing, all unreinforced dentures experienced complete fracture. The mesh-reinforced dentures primarily showed posterior framework fracture. Deformation of the all-metal framework caused the metal mesh-reinforced denture to exhibit the highest fracture resistance, followed by the glass fiber mesh-reinforced denture (P<.05) and the control group (P<.05). The glass fiber mesh-reinforced denture primarily maintained its original shape with unbroken fibers. River line pattern of the control group, dimples and interdendritic fractures of the metal mesh group, and radial fracture lines of the glass fiber group were observed on the fractured surfaces. CONCLUSION. The glass fiber mesh-reinforced denture exhibits a fracture resistance higher than that of the unreinforced denture, but lower than that of the metal mesh-reinforced denture because of the deformation of the metal mesh. The glass fiber mesh-reinforced denture maintains its shape even after fracture, indicating the possibility of easier repair.

Coupling loss variation as the shape of fiber ends and the fiber arrangement in a fiber Fabry-Perot cavity, formed with two optical fibers with dielectric mirror coatings on their ends, is analyzed. For the intended features it is assumed that one of two fibers is processed to have a concave mirror whose curvature is the same as that of the wavefront of the Gaussian beam from the first fiber. In this assumption, it was turned out that the coupling loss at the cavity length of 15 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ is less than 0.5% even with tilt angle of 0.2$^{\circ}$, curvature error of 70 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, cavity length error of 8 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, and lateral alignment error of 0.5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Thus, low loss and high-finesse fiber Fabry-Perot filters whose cavity length is greater than several ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ can be obtained easily if the receiving fiber end is properly formed.

We researched fruit wall anatomical characters about the seven taxa of Krigia and the nearest one relative, Nothocalais cuspidata by making use of the fruit wall anatomy, and inferred systematical similarity. Among these characters, all species of the genus Krigia has identical characters in the shape of fruit and the number of rib, but showed specific differences in the shape of costa, the numbers of libriform fiber cell layers and fiber-sclereid cell layers in mesocarp, and development degree in these characters. Krigia biflora, K. cespitosa, K. occidentalis and K. wrightii have well developed libriform fiber cell, but K. dandelion, K. montana and K. virginica have undeveloped libriform fiber cell, and mostly consist of fiber-sclereid cell layers. According to the fruit wall anatomical characters, K. biflora which belonged to sect. Krigia in the previous classification system is more similar to sect. Cymbia than sect. Krigia.

To make high speed spindle system work properly, sensors with outstanding resolution and dynamic characteristics are essential. An optical fiber displacement sensor is based on simple principles. Electrical signal responds to the optical flux change due to the displacement change between a target and a sensor probe. In this paper, the performance of optical fiber displacement sensor has been investigated according to properties of optical fiber Firstly, optical loss has been measured before and after polishing optical fiber endface. Secondly, allowance of optical fiber bending has been tested. thirdly sensitivity and linear range of the sensor has been found out according to the shape of cross section of optical fiber.

This study was to analyze characteristics of soils reinforced by FPF(Fibrillated Polypropylene Fiber). Laboratory test, model test and field tests were performed on soils reinforced by fibers, to evaluate the shear strength characteristics. For the silty sand, clayey sand and silty clay, the influence of fiber shape, fiber length and fiber content were evaluated from compaction test, direct shear test, uniaxial test, california bearing ratio(CBR) test. Fibrillated type fiber, 5cm long with a content of 0.5% shows 5∼30% increase of friction angle and 7∼55 percent increase of CBR value.

This paper presents a comparative evaluation of eight different types of steel fibers used as reinforcing material in concrete beams. The fibers which used ultra-strength steel fiber reinforced concrete were fiber length of 30 to 60mm, aspect ratio of 43 to 86, W/B ratio 0.16 to 0.30, fiber types of both ends hooked and straight shape and fiber volume fraction of 1 to 5$\%$. As for the test results, it estimated the influence of fiber volume, length and aspect ratio on the mechanical properties of high toughness concrete, the mechanical properties improved according to increase fiber volume, to increase aspect ratio and to long fiber length. And the resonable fiber volume in high toughness concrete was analyzed 2$\%$ based on the results of mechanical properties.

The purpose of this study in to evaluate relationship between mechanical properties of materials and fiber type by reinforced fiber with high-velocity impact fracture behavior of fiber reinforced concrete. As a result, for fracture behavior by high-velocity impact, it is considered that impact fracture behavior is not affected by static mechanical properties directly but affected by fiber type and density of the number of fiber. It is necessary to consider type, shape, mechanical properties and the number of fiber with flexural and tensile performance for the evaluation on impact resistance performance of fiber reinforced concrete.

Carbon fiber reinforced composites have light weight and high mechanical properties. These materials are only applicable in limited shape structure cause by complex curing process and low drapability. To solve this problem, Long Fiber Prepreg Sheet (LFPS) has been proposed. In this research, electric device cover plate was selected and designed by using LFPS. Before the design process, we analyzed the target structure to which the rib structures were applied. And 8-inch tablet PC product was selected. For FE analysis, simple loading and boundary conditions were applied. Stiffness of rib structure was investigated according to the rib pattern and shape changes. Rib pattern and shape were selected based on fixed volume condition analysis results. And uneven rib width model was selected for the best case whose deflection was reduced 6~10% than uniform rib model.

Tensile residual stress happen by difference of coefficients of thermal expansion between fiber and matrix is one of the serious problems in metal matrix composite(MMC). In this study, TiNi fiber was used to solve the tensile residual stress as the reinforced material. TiNi fiber improves the tensile strength of composite by occurring compressive residual stress in matrix using shape memory effect of it. Pre-strain was added to generate compressive residual stress inside TiNi/A16061 composite. It was also evaluated the effect of compressive residual stress corresponding to pre-strains variation. AE technique was used to clarify the microscopic damage behavior at high temperature and the effect of pre-strain difference of TiNi/A16061 shape memory alloy composite.
