In this study, we derived an theoretical equation, using a simplified spring-mass model for the rolling stock, to obtain the overriding behavior of a leading vehicle, which is considered as the main factor in train accidents. To verify the derived equation, we created a simple 2D model based on the theoretical model, and a simple 3D model considering the characteristics of the power bogie. We then compared the theoretical results with the simulation results obtained using LS-DYNA. The maximum relative derivations in the vertical displacements at the first end-buffer, which is the most important point in overriding, were 3.5 [%] and 1.7 [%] between the two results. Further, we evaluated collision-induced overriding displacements using the theoretical equation for a rubber draft gear, a hydraulic buffer under various collision conditions. We have suggested a theoretical approach for the realization of overriding collision accidents or the energy absorption design of the front end of trains.

This paper described the behavior under repeated loading in triaxial compression test on clay. The experiment was conducted to investigate the influence of controlled various over-consolidation ratio and compaction energy, on the stress-strain behavior of clays. 1. The difference of deviator stress during repeated loading was greatly appeared at large strain. And pore water pressure was decreased at initial of unloading, but it was increased again before long. 2. The recoverable elastic strain (${{\Delta}{\varepsilon}e}$) and the slope of un-reloading were decreased with the increment of over-consolidation ratio (OCR). 3. The recoverable elastic strain (${{\Delta}{\varepsilon}e}$) was increased with the increment of strain rate but it was decreased with the increment of strain in strain rate tests. The slope of un-reloading (Eur) tends to increase with the increment of strain rate and it was decreased with the increment of strain. 4. The recoverable elastic strain was greatly increased with the increment of compaction energy and it slightly tends to decrease with the increment of strain on various compaction energy. The slope of un-reloading was not appeared markedly with increment of compaction energy but it tends to decrease with the increment of strain generally.

The behavior of fatigue crack growth of nickel-based powder metallurgy superalloy that could be used in aircraft turbine disc is investigated at room temperature, and $650^{\circ}C$ considering real operating conditions. The direct current potential drop(DCPD) method was used to measure the crack length of material in real time according to ASTM E647. Tests were performed with various stress ratios (0.1 and 0.5). Experimental results show that stress ratio, and temperature all affect the behavior of fatigue crack growth. As the stress ratio and temperature increase, the fatigue crack growth rate of nickel-based powder metallurgy superalloy also increases. Results were compared and reviewed with fatigue crack growth rates of other nickel-based superalloy materials (Inconel-100) that were studied in previous papers. Fractography analysis of the fractured specimens was performed using as SEM.

Recent years have witnessed a strong need for eco-friendly and energy-efficient systems owing to global environmental problems. A heat exchanger is a well-known mechanical rig that has long been used in many energy systems. The use of a heat exchanger in an airplane engine has been attempted. In this case, the heat exchanger should be redesigned to be compact, lightweight, and highly reliable, and the issue of mechanical integrity gains importance. Therefore, in this study, we proposed a method for evaluating the mechanical integrity of a tube-type heat exchanger. A U-shaped single tube was used as an example, and its behavior and stress distribution were studied using fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis.

Numerous studies of the dynamic behavior of powders have been performed by Discrete Element Method (DEM). The behavior of powders can be analyzed using the DEM assuming that the powder is composed of spherical particles. Moreover, the assumption of spherical particle reduces the computing time significantly. However, the biggest problem with this assumption is the real shape of the particles. Some types of particles, such as calcium carbonate and colloidal copper, are needle shaped. Thus, analysis based on spherical particles can produce errors because of the incorrect assumption. In this research, we developed a new model to simulate needle-shaped particles using the DEM. In the model, a series of particles are connected and regarded as a rod. There is no relative motion among the particles. Thus, the behavior of the rod is rigid motion. To validate the developed model, we carried out the drop-and-bounce test with different initial angles. The results showed negligible error of less than 2%.

There are many students who modify their uniforms and wear fashion accessories to pursue their individualities. The objectives of this research were to identify school uniform modification and fashion accessory wearing behavior of high school students. The results were as follows; 1. High school students considered that the uniform was desirable because the uniform showed identity best, but many students complained that the uniform was uncomfortable in activity. The most accessory used for the uniform was the cellular phone handle. 2. The uniform modification behavior was highly distinguishable at the coeducational school, the vocational school, and the art or physical school. They modified their uniform to pursuit slim and individuality. The uniform modification was for the beauty aspect more rather than practical aspect of uniform, and was proportional to the degree of the appearance, and in case of pants, the length and width of the pants showed increasing trend compared to the past. They considered accessory wearing as a compensational expression of the most of students who were not actively behaving on the uniform modification.

This study focuses on finding ways to stimulate the growth of agricultural sectors in m-businesses, by analyzing and comparing the factors that influence the purchasing behavior of consumers in the open market, social commerce, and integrated shopping malls. Consumers at various mobile shopping malls answered a survey. Among the nine factors considered, one important factor was the frequency of purchasing agrifoods. Regression analysis produced three results. First, in the open market, in addition to various other advantages, the brand image, reasonable pricing, simple payment system, and convenience of using an app were important factors that influenced the purchasing behavior of the individual consumer. Second, in social commerce, the major factors influencing purchase were the reasonable pricing, quick delivery service, and convenience of using an app. Third, in integrated shopping malls, the brand image, guaranteed after-sale service, the variety of products, quick delivery service, and convenience of using an app were the significant factors.

We analyzed the influence of living characteristics as environment related behavior by questionnaire survey analysis. Survey was conducted to 569 people living in Gimhae city, Gyongsangnam-do, Korea. By the results of correlation analysis, items with high levels of practice were related to legal regulations. However, group who are less interested in preserving the environment have lower performance in all aspects of their activities. In the relationship between social characteristics and environment related behavior, residents were generally aware of the practice of detached house dweller group rather than of apartment dweller. As the age increased, have more willing to practice. While the higher levels of education group do not make environment related behave better. However, it seemed that the student group's distinct characteristics was reflected in the education level. As this study, improvement of environmental awareness is needed to improve practice of environment related behavior rather than regal approach. Policy for environment related behavior is necessary to vary the methodology based on analysis of social characteristics, such as gender, residential type and education level rather than generalization.

In this study, the effects of surface oxide film formation on the fatigue behavior of 7075-T6 aluminum alloy were analyzed in terms of the corrosion time of the alloy. The aluminum material used is known to have high corrosion resistance due to the passivation phenomenon that prevents corrosion. Aluminum alloys have been widely used in various industrial applications such as aircraft component manufacturing because of their lighter weight and higher strength than other materials. Therefore, studies on the fatigue behavior of materials and passivation properties that prevent corrosion are required. The fatigue behavior in terms of the corrosion time was analyzed by using a four-pointing bending machine, and the surface corrosion level of the aluminum material in terms of the corrosion time was estimated by measuring the surface roughness. In addition, fractographic analysis was performed and the oxide films formed on the material surface were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicated that corrosion actively progressed for four weeks during the initial corrosion phase, the fatigue life significantly decreased, and the surface roughness increased. However, after four weeks, the corrosion reaction tended to slow down due to the passivation phenomenon of the material. Therefore, on the basis of SEM analysis results, it was concluded that the growth of the surface oxide film was reduced after four weeks and then the oxide film on the material surface served as a protection layer and prevented further corrosion.

Visitors to Naejangsan National Park were surveyed from October 31 to November 3 in 1995, 151 visitors were participated. Of those individuals, 55% were males. 48% of respondests reported that they had gone beyond high school, and over one-half(52%) had gone as far as college. 61.3% were 20 years of age. The largest percentage of respondents were reported that they visited Naejangsan Nat'l Park to see the scarlet maple leaces there. Most respondents who witness other visitors' littering were not likely to intervene to stop their visitors' depreciative behavior(Bystander intervention Begavior). Most of visitors got information for use Naejangsan Nat'l Park from a guide sign(31.8%) or guide themselves(29.1%). They didn't know the Clean-up Time Movement Program. But they understood it after notice hanging placards(81.6%). Most of visitors responded that didn't hear the mass communication program in National. But they recognized necessity of the mass communication program in National Park. The results showed that most visitors believed that Clean-up Time Movement was in succession consequently it turned out to be effective in managing visitors' littering behavior. And it seemed to effective in managing depreciative behavior through the mass communication program in National Park.
