This paper describes a new technique for thickness measurement of a very thin layer less than one-quarter of the wavelength of ultrasonic wave used in the ultrasonic pulse-echo measurements. The technique determines the thickness of a thin layer in a tapered medium from constructive interference of multiple reflection waves. The interference characteristics are derived and investigated in theoretical and experimental approaches. Modified total reflection wave g(t) defined as difference between total and first reflection waves increases in amplitude as the interfacial layer thickness decreases down to zero. A layer thickness less than one-tenth of the ultrasonic wavelength is measured using the maximum amplitude of g(t) with a good accuracy and sensitivity. The method also requires no inversion process to extract the thickness information from the waveforms of reflected waves, so that it makes possible to have the on-line thickness measurement of a thin layer such as a lubricating oil film in thrust bearings and journal bearings during manufacturing process.

The vibration signals of driving parts of electric train are distorted its signal patterns due to the impact components, which occurs when wheel passes rail joints. An elimination method of the impact components is investigated using adaptive signal processing technique in this study The result shows that adaptive interference canceling method seems to be more effective than line enhancement technique. The application of adaptive interference canceling method to the signal measured at bogie shows that the extractions of the signals of driving parts of traction motor, reduction gear, and axle bearing are successful. Therefore, only the signals of bogie, which is the place to attach an accelerometer easily, is sufficient for the fault diagnosis and the safety evaluation of electric train. Also, adaptive interference canceling method can be applicable to evaluate the performance of vibration isolation between bogie and car body and to investigate the characteristics of indoor sound.

In this paper, a method of accurate position control using a pneumatic cylinder driving apparatus is presented. To overcome the effect of friction force and transmission line, low friction type cylinder applied externally pressurized air bearing structure is used and two control valves attached both side of the cylinder directly. To compensate nonlinear characteristics of control valves, linearized control input derived from the relation between control input and effective area of control valve, and dither signal are applied to the valve. The controller applied to the pneumatic cylinder driving apparatus is composed of a state feedback controller and a disturbance observer. Experimental results show that the effectiveness of the proposed method and position control error of $5{\mu}m$ accuracy could be obtained easily.

Recently, the development of paved track is required as a Low-maintenance of conventional line. The most important factor of paved track is stability and applicability. In this method, the ballast is grouted with mortar so that the ballast can turn into a structure like slab. This method can be subdivided into the followings. One is the method with switching the ballast, and the other is without switching the ballast. The ordinary and actual states of the ballast and roadbed were investigated to evaluate the applicability of the paved track structure in this study, and various In-situ tests were applied. Non-destructive tests such as GPR, SASW, FWD were used, and bearing capacity of roadbed, depth of the ballast, and deterioration, penetration, and contamination of the ballast were focused. The result of this investigation was utilized in the selection of optimal paved track structure and data for preliminary design.

By the examination of data collected by long-term measuring system on high-speed railway bridges, it has been known that the atmospheric temperature may affect the responses of maximum deflection and acceleration of bridge deck. Collected data show a tendency by seasonal factor to that, by the decrease of temperature, the response of acceleration of bridge deck increases, and the response of deflection decreases. To trace the cause of this tendency, parametric analysis on the stiffness of bridge bearing and track ballast has been performed, and the in-site measurement has been achieved in high-speed railway line to understand seasonal influences.

A polymeric photobase generator containing oxime-urethane groups is applied to a fluorescence micropatterning material. Polymer bearing oxime-urethane groups was prepared by copolymerization of methyl methacrylate with methacryloyloxyethyl benzophenoneoxime urethane (MBU). The reaction of amino groups in the irradiated copolymer film with dansyl chloride (Dns-Cl) was monitored by using UV absorption, IR absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The fluorescence spectrum of the Dns-Cl-treated irradiated copolymer film shows a strong fluorescence with a fluorescence maximum wavelength at 510 nm. A blue fluorescent micropattern with a line width of $2{\sim}3{\mu}m$ was obtained. Treatment of the irradiated copolymer film with Dns-Cl and rhodamine B mixture led to the formation of green, red, and orange-colored fluorescence micropatterns. Thus, various colored micropatterns on a single polymer film can be obtained by selective excitation of each dye molecules.

Nine different types of the reinforced railroad roadbeds which . are located in between Suwon-Chunan station of Kyongbu line were constructed in order to increase the bearing capacity of railroad roadbed and to improve the ridability as a part of speed-up project of conventional railroad systems. Each three sections were composed of weathered granite soil, crushed stone and furnace slag(HMS25), and fully instrumented with earth pressure cells, settlement plates and geophones to monitor the behavior of roadbeds under actual train loads. Field measurement has continued since October 31, 2000 and presently with rather longer measurement interval. The measurement data such as settlement, earth pressure and vibration levels are currently under analysis process. In this paper, only cumulative measurement data of railroad roadbeds were introduced. In the near future, comprehensive measurement data and result of analysis will be presented and design technique for the reinforced railroad roadbed will be proposed as a final product of this study.

In this paper, the critical vibration limits of a spindle unit for a high speed ball pen tip processing machine are studied. The vibration of the spindle is measured by FFT, and the influence of the vibration amplitude due to unbalance, bearing deflect, bite, and timing belts tension is analyzed. The critical vibration limits of the spindle is determined by the X, and Z directional vibrations of the spindle. Both FET and RMS values can be used to analyze the vibration characteristics of the spindle. From experimental results the limit line can be drawn for the spindle. The RMS value for the vibration limit is 3 G.
