In tread brake of freight cars, brake force is produced by the friction between the wheel and the brake shoe. Friction coefficients associated with the brake power, weight variation and brake shoe types should be sensitively treated as the design parameters. The conditions of the car, empty and loaded, should also be taken into consideration in brake force design and the control of brake force has some limitations in terms of the brake system design so that the brake friction materials selection should be considered as important measures to solve that difficulties. Friction characteristics of brake friction materials should remain within the range of maximum and minimum value and the friction performance should remain stable regardless of brake time and temperature. This study presented an experimental evaluation method to secure optimum brake performance by keeping safe brake effect and brake distance by the friction coefficient of the brake shoe of the freight cars.

Generally, in-plane position of moving object is measured referring to the reference pattern attached to the object. From optical camera to magnetic reluctance probe, there are many ways detecting a variation of the periodical pattern. In this paper, the various operating principles developed for in-plane positioning are reviewed and compared each other. And, a novel method measuring large rotation as well as x, y linear displacements is suggested, including a detailed description of the overall system layout. It is a modified version of the surface encoder, which is a robust digital measuring method. From the surface encoder, the rotation of an object is measured indirectly through a compensated input of optical servo and independently of linear displacements. So, the operating range can be extended simply by enlarging the reference pattern, without magnifying the decoding units.

The reaction of gas-phase atomic hydrogen with hydrogen atoms chemisorbed on Fe(110) surface is studied by use of classical trajectory procedures. Flow of energy between the reaction zone and bulk solid phase has been treated in the generalized Langevin equation approach. A London-Eyring-Polanyi-Sato energy surface is used for the reaction zone interaction. Most reactive events are found to occur in strong single-impact collisions on a subpicosecond scale via the Eley-Rideal mechanism. The extent of reaction is large and a major fraction of the available energy goes into the vibrational excitation of H2, exhibiting a vibrational population inversion. Dissipation of reaction energy to the heat bath can be adequately described using a seven-atom chain with the chain end bound to the rest of solid. The extent of reaction is not sensitive to the variation of surface temperature in the range of Ts=0-300 K in the fixed gas temperature, but it shows a minimum near 1000 K over the Tg=300-2500 K.

Ear-piercing high-frequency noise from electromagnetic vibrations in motors has become unacceptable in sensitive environments, due to the application of pulse width modulation (PWM) and in consideration of switching losses. This paper proposed a synchronous periodic frequency modulation (SPFM) method based on the interleaving technique for paralleled three-phase voltage source inverters (VSIs) to eliminate PWM vibration noise. The proposed SPFM technique is able to effectively remove unpleasant high-frequency vibration noise as well as acoustic noise more effectively than the conventional periodic carrier frequency modulation (PCFM) and interleaving technique. It completely eliminates the vibration noise near odd-order carrier frequencies and reduces the PWM vibration noise near even-order carrier frequencies depending on the switching frequency variation range. Furthermore, the SPFM method is simple to implement and does not employ additional circuits in the drive system. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method has been confirmed by detailed experimental results.

This paper describes a relationship of a space vector PWM and a sinusoidal PWM and presents that the space vector PWM can produce linearly the output voltage to the unity MI(modulation index). At first, reference angles and holding angles are derived from expanding a Fourier series of the reference voltage waveform and then the angles are used for the inverter switching to linearize transfer characteristics of the inverter. In addition, the harmonic components of the output voltage are analyzed and on-line control is shown to be feasible by approximating in piecewise-linearization the reference and holding angles versus the MI. In V/f control of the induction motor, it is verified by the experiment that the motor current is changed smoothly for the variation of the inverter input voltage and the change of the reference voltage.

The phenomena of local scour due to a current from a seadike closure gap which is protected by rock, then on to an erodible bed, have been studied. Based on the data of hydraulic model test, the scour characteristics have been investigated for the variation of maximum scour depth with time until reaching equilibrium stage and the shape of ultimate scour hole. A brief evaluation of DHL formula for the relationship between maximum scouring depth and time and a dimensionless form leading to time-scale introduced. On the basis of DHL formula, modified DHL formula denoted DHL-RDC formula is extend to the range of estimation of scour depth compared to DHL formula verified by model test.

The possibility of grape seeds as industrial resources was tested by analyzing various chemical proper-ties of their oils from seven different species. The range of crude oil content of the grape seeds was 26.0-32.0% showing the highest content in Steuden, Mean individual fatty acid contents in the grape seeds were lioleic (70.75%) oleic (18.48%) stearic (2.01%) and palmitic (8.45%) acids. Stearic acid was low in Jingyu and high oleic acid was found in Fugiminori compared with other grape strains. Total lipirds were consisted of nutral lipid (87.25%) glycolipid(4.68%) and phospholipid *8.06%) Content of crude proteins was approximatery 11.2% with some variation between strains. Total sugar content was 2.35~5.63$\mu$g/mg with reducing sugar 3.20$\mu$g/mg. Mean saponification value of crude oils was 186.3mg.KOH.oil Antioxidant activity of grape seed oils was better than that of sesame oil resulting in the hi-oils and sesame oil after heat treatment at 18$0^{\circ}C$.

The proposed system was composed of pre-processor which was executing binary/high-pass filtering and post-processor which ranged from statistic data to prediction. In post-processor work, step one was filter process of image, step two was image recognition, and step three was destruction degree/time prediction. After these processing, we could predict image of the last destruction timestamp. This research was produced variation value according to growth of tree pattern. This result showed improved correction, when this research was applied image Processing. Pre-processing step of original image had good result binary work after high pas- filter execution. In the case of using partial discharge of the image, our research could predict the last destruction timestamp. By means of experimental data, this prediction system was acquired $\pm$3.2% error range.

Factors governing the rate of heat exchange comprise temperature, air velocity, relative humidity, and relation indoors. Recently, there are many researches on the transient analysis of indoor environmental factors such as dry bulb temperature, relative humidity and air velocity in miniature models. The purpose of this study is to measure the environmental factors and to analyze and evaluate the characteristics of indoor environment in different envelop structures using granite dome models. The interior relative humidity is constant regardless of exterior humidity although a little range of variation is shown in comparison to the cement model.

The objective of this study is to investigate the characteristics of welded joints on the Zircaloy-4 resistance upset welding for HWR(Heavy Water reactor)fuel rods. To estimate the characteristics of welded joints, the various tests were performed on the test coupons systematically with a wide range of each welding parameters in terms of a tensile test, burst test, knoop hardness test and metallography. Major results obtained in this study are as follows: 1. The tube and machined with 120.deg. projection was the reliable weld joint design for the nuclear fuel rod end cap welding. 2. As the weld current and the amount of upset increased linearly with increasing welding main heat input, it could make an estimate of their variation in accordance with the phase shift control. 3. It was found that an increase in squeeze force has an effect on the upset contour of welded joint because the amount of upset were increased by the change of squeeze force.
