We have studied the magnetoresistance phenomena on spin valve thin films of antiferromagnetic NiO/CoO. Interlayer coupling oscillates between the antiferrocoupling and ferrocoupling with the variation of Cu thickness. The exchange coupling strength between NiO (antiferromagnetic) and NiFe(ferromagnetic) as a function of NiO texture and interface roughness is investigated by CoO insertion. CoO has significantly higher anisotropy in the (111) plane and interface roughness. It seems that the MR-ratio is increased by CoO inserted films. From the AFM and XRD data, the increase of MR-ratio and exchange field is influenced by the roughness of CoO.

Epoxy compound has been used as insulation material in electrical equipment for a long time because of its excellent electrical, mechanical and chemical properties. Nowdays, becoming higher voltage system, the properties of interface between epoxy and metal insert become more important. The breakdown voltage of epoxy compound for electric material is variable according to the surface roughness of metal insert. Generally, with metal insert sanding, the adhesion strength is enhanced and the breakdown strength is reduced. But in this study, we knew that the adhesion strength became enhanced but the breakdown strength didn\`t reduced with metal insert sanding. So in this study sanding. So in this study, we suggest the optimum interface condition by adjusting the surface roughness.

This paper presents roughness effects on flow characteristics and efficiency of multi-stage axial compressor using numerical simulation. which is carried out with a commercially available software, CFX-TASCflow. In this paper, the third of four stages of GE low pressure compressor is considered including me stator and rue rotor. Mixing-plane approach is adopted to model the interface between the stator and the rotor: it is appropriate for steady state simulation. First, a flat plate simulation was performed to validate how exact the numerical simulation predicts the roughness effect for smooth and rough walls. Then GE compressor model was calculated about at each roughness height. Concluding, very small roughness height largely affects the performance of compressor and the increasing rate of loss decrease as roughness height increase.

In this study, we studied characteristics on human tactile perception according to the depth and the pitch of surface roughness. Three experiments were performed for this study. The first experiment was to arrange samples in the order of their roughness. The second experiment was to group samples according to their roughness. And, the third experiment was to subjectively evaluate the level of roughness for each sample using adjective scales. Through these experimental studies, we could verify that the depth and the pitch of surface roughness give a significant effect on tactile perception and the depth gives more significant effect than the pitch. So, the depth of surface roughness must be more importantly considered than the pitch in the tactile user interface design of product.

Rapid Prototyping technology has many advantages such as Rapid Tooling. However, Using the RT technique is limited by the poor surface quality of the RP part. Thus, additional post-machining is required for improving the surface roughness by the sanding, grinding and polishing etc. But, these traditional finishing techniques are time and labor cost consuming. Hence, improving and formulation the finishing technique is inevitably necessary for the RF part. A new post-machining methodology for RP part is presented by the SLS part is used for automobile components in this research. Also, a web based interface tool that user requirements are rapidly ordered for post-machining RP part is developed.

Because complex insulation method is used in EHV(extra high voltage) insulation systems, macro Interfaces between two different bulk materials which affect the stability of insulation system exist inevitably. Interface between toughened epoxy and silicone rubber was selected as a interface in EHV insulation systems and tested AC interfacial breakdown properties with variation of many conditions to influence on electrical Properties, such as interfacial pressure, roughness and oil. Specimen was designed to reduce the effect of charge transport from electrode in the process of breakdown and to have the tangential electrical potential with the direction of the interface between epoxy and silicone rubber by using FEM(finite elements method). It could control the interfacial pressure, roughness and viscosity of oil. From the result of this study, it was shown that the interfacial breakdown voltage is improved by increasing interfacial Pressure and oil. In particular, the dielectric strength saturates at certain interracial Pressure level. The decreasing ratio of the interfacial breakdown voltage in non-oiled specimen was increased by the temperature rising, while oiled specimen was not affected by temperature.

In this paper, the effect of adhesion properties of semiconductive-insulating interface layer of silicone rubber on electrical properties was investigated. Surface structure and adhesion of semiconductive silicon rubber by surface asperity was obtained from SEM and T-peel test. In addition, ac breakdown test was carried out for elucidating the change of electrical property by roughness treatment. From the results, Adhesive strength of semiconductive-insulation interface was increased with surface asperity. Dielectric breakdown strength by surface asperity decreased than initial Specimen, but increased from Sand Paper #1200. According to the adhesional strength data unevenness and void formed on the silicone rubber interface expand the surface area and result in improvement of adhesion. Before treatment Sand Paper #1200, dielectric breakdown strength was decreased by unevenness and void which are causing to have electric field mitigation small. After the treatment, the effect of adhesion increased dielectric breakdown strength. It is found that ac dielectric breakdown strength was increased with improving the adhesion between the semiconductive and insulating interface.

Numerical and experimental investigations were conducted to assess the aerodynamic performance of several centrifugal compressors. In order to impose an appropriate physics at the interface between impeller and vaned diffuser numerically, two different techniques, frozen rotor and stage models, were applied and the simulation results were compared with the corresponding prototype test data. An equivalent sand-grain roughness height was utilized in the present computational study to consider a relative surface roughness effect on the stage performance simulated. From a series of investigations, it was found that the stage model is more suitable than the frozen rotor scheme for the steady interactions between impeller and diffuser in turbocompressor applications. It is supposed that the solution by frozen rotor scheme is inclined to overrate the non-uniformity of the flow fields. The predicted aerodynamic performance accounting for surface roughness effect shows favorable agreement with experimental data. Simulations based on the aerodynamically smooth surface assumption tend to overestimate the stage performance.

This paper reports on the theoretical analysis of mixed lubrication for the piston ring. The analytical model is presented by using the average flow and asperity contact model. The cyclic variations of the nominal minimum oil film thickness are obtained by numerical iterative method. The total friction is calculated by using the hydrodynamic and asperity contact theory. The effect of the roughness height, pattern, and engine speed on the nominal minimum film thickness, friction force, ad frictional power losses are investigated. As the roughness height increases, the nominal oil film thickness and total friction force increase. Also, the effect of the surface roughness on the boundary friction is dominant at low engine speed and high asperity height. The longitudinal roughness pattern shows lower mean oil film pressure and thinner oil film thickness compared to the case of the isotropic and transverse roughness patterns.
