It is widely recognized that Hartmann tube for measuring the minimum ignition energy(MIE) of powder. But It requires long time and operational skills for measuring. As a variety of new fine powders are being produced day by day in industry, Japen has been developing a measurement system which employs a new method to create a dust/air mixture in a miniature combustion box. In this system, by vibration, the powder is successively fed downward through a hopper made up of metal mesh, and then it is formed into a thin, certain-like, dust/air mixture. With this new apparatus, three types of powder-Lycopodium, Anthraquinone, and Polyacry-lonitrile-were tested and the data of MIE were compared with those of a conventional apparatus (the Hartmann tube). Two of them agreed satisfactory, but the other, Anthraquinone, showed quite different values. It is guessed that the agglomerations of the powder particles appear because of particle shapes, static-charge and humidity.

In the analysis of metal forming process, ALE(Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian) finite element methods have been increasingly used for the capability to control mesh independently from material flow. The methods can be divided into two groups i.e., coupled and split formulations. In the present work, the split ALE formulation is used for computational efficiency. A split ALE finite element method developed for rigid-viscoplastic materials and applied to the analysis of hot square die extrusion. Since thermal state greatly affects the product quality, an ALE scheme for temperature analysis is also presented. As computational examples, profile shapes as square and cross-like sections are chosen.

A new type of catalytic filers has been developed in this work. A porous photocatalytic filter was prepared by coating the titania (anatase phase) powder onto the woven metal mesh. The coating sol was prepared with unique cera-mic binder, and would assist drying condition and enhance the mechanical strength of the final ceramic filers. As a result of the test for acetone decomposition, it was found to be quite effective for the photocatalytic reaction as good at conventional glass reactors which were coated inside. The present filter type reactor is expected as one of plausible devices for the simultaneous treatment of gas - particulate materials.

For the purpose of electrolytic treatment of wastewater containing various heavy metals, the BPBE Cell of batch and continuous type was considered and experimented. Some results from this study were summarized as follows: 1. When the artificial wastewater containing 500 mg/l of the concentration of various heavy metallic ion was electrolyzed in BPBE Cell of batch type, the removal efficicency was over 95% in cadmiun (II), lead (II), chromium (Ⅵ) and over 85% in copper (II), chromium (III). 2, As granular activated carbon packed in BPBE Cell, coconut shell was superior to lignite and the removal efficiency was the highest when the activated carbon was 4/6 mesh, the voltage was 20V. 3. When the heavy metallic ion in wastewater was electrolyzed in BPBE Cell of continuous type, about 1,000mg of heavy metal per 1kg of coconut sell could be removed. 4. The treatment method of heavy metallic ion in wastewater by BPBE Cell cost less than in the former chemical treatment method and the coconut shell packed in BPBE Cell could be regenerated by chemical method.

To observe a hydrated biological specimen, an environmental chamber was necessary to keep the specimen in a wet state under vacuum surroundings. The specimen holder is as follows designed consequently. The specimen holder consisted of two Si wafers, the centers of which were Si$_3$N$_4$(100nm thickness) windows of a 0.3mm square. The windows were made by a photo-lithographic method. The transmission of a window at 400eV is about 70%. A hydrated biological specimen was put between the two windows. When the chamber was closed, two wafers were contact at the metal mesh by the pressure of O-rings, and the specimen holder moved by the three micrometers.

A computer simulation has been performed for the application to the elastoplastic stress analysis in a discontinuous composite solid. To obtain the internal field quantities of composite the micromechanics analysis and finite element analysis (FEA) were implemented. As the procedure the reasonably optimized FE mesh generations the appropriate imposition of boundary condition and the relevant postprocessing such as elastoplastic thermomechanical analysis were taken into account. For the numerical illustration an aligned axisymmetric single fiber model has been employed to assess field quantities. It was found that the proposed simulation methodology for stress analysis is applicable to the complicated inhomogeneous solid for the investigation of micromechanical behavior.

This study analyzes the Western rocking chair style of the middle of the 20th century (1945~1970), and investigates academically characteristics from formative and practical points of view. The purpose of this study is to provide basic information on the design and production of the modern Korean rocking chair. In the 20th century, the production of the Western rocking chair displayed principles of both functionalism and optimism. These rocking chairs are constructed of various industrial materials including reinforced plastics, moulded plywood, aluminium, and steel as well as wood. Furthermore, a rocking chair suitable to the human body is made by industrial growth and innovative fabrication techniques such as designer's plastic from military in the First and Second World Wars. In those days, there are many different types of rocker style - traditional, plastics, structural, moulded plywood & bending, metal tubular, and wire mesh. More specifically, through economic prosperity and plastic development, the rocking chair is able to have light and bright colors, which shows sensible formality of the modern and structure.

With the improvement of computer power and technology, fracture modelling by finite element methods has become a topic of extensive studies. However, fracture simulation much limited to an academic study of crack propagation with a fine mesh. Element deletion method is a useful tool for estimating damage due to accidental or extreme loads on structures, provided that an effective and realistic criterion is established for simulating the material failure and subsequent element deletion. In this study, ABAQUS/Explicit is used to simulate the material failure on the basis of experimental results by X. Huang et al. Through numerical experiments, we suggest a formulation to determine the failure strain associated with the size and thickness of removed elements.

The planar anisotripic FEM analysis for predicting earing profiles and draw-in amounts in the deep-drawing process is introduced. An implicit, incremental, updated Lagrangian formulation with a rigid-viscoplastic constitutive equation is employed. Contact and friction are considered through the mesh-based unit vector and normal contact pressure. The consistent full set of governing relations, which is comprising euilbrium and geometric constraint equations, is appropriately linearized. Barlat's strain-rate potential is employed, whose in-plane anisotropic properties are taken into account with anisotropic coefficients and potential parameters. The linear triangular membrane elements are used for depicting the formed sheet. In the numerical simulations of deep drawing processes of a flat-top cylindrical cup for 2090-T3 aluminum alloy sheet show good agreement with experiments, although some discrepancies were observed in the directional trend of cup height and thickness strains.

In this work, rapid prototyping and three dimensional finite element analysis are simltaneously applied to design metal forming processes. Rapid prototyping is a new prototyping technology which producess three dimensional part models directly from CAD data and has been extensively applied to various manufacturing processes. There are many types of rapid prototyping systems due to their building principles and materials. In this work, Stereolithography Apparatus (SLA) which is the most widely-used rapid prototyping system is introduced to manufacture the die set. To prepare STL file generally, mesh data which are in describing the die surface in finite element analysis are translated so that rapid prototyping and finite element analysis are effectively connected. The die sets are manufactured using SLA prototypes, and matal forming experiments are carried out using them. Comparing experiments results with analyses, the processes can be predicted and designed successfully.
