In this study, to investigate shrinkage and cracking behavior of 120MPa UHSC, free and restrained drying shrinkage test were performed. Three strength levels(50MPa, 80MPa, 120MPa) were used and the effect of mineral admixtures(fly ash, slag) on free and restrained shrinkage was investigated. From comparing the result of pin -penetration test with the result of ring test, Time-Zero was determined as initial set. Shrinkage test results show that autogenous shrinkage of UHSC was much higher than that of HSC, VHSC and fly ash delayed cracking age in UHSC by decreasing autogenous shrinkage. Additional free concrete rings(with restraint removed) were also tested to check the influence of the geometry of the specimens on free shrinkage. And then the relationship between free shrinkage and restrained shrinkage was investigated.

A new approach of elastic finite element to die stress analysis in forging is presented in this paper. The die set analysis problem is formulated by considering contact problems under both mechanical and thermal loads. In the approach, amount of shrink fit is controlled by thermal load i.e., temperature difference between die insert and shrink fits. The loading conditions are extracted automatically from a forging simulator. The predicted solution is compared with analytical one and it has been shown that the predicted results are in excellent agreement with the analytical ones. An application example is given, which was found in a cold forging company.

Shrink-rings (Stress-rings) are used in the fabrication of dies for cold forming and powder compaction processes to increase the allowable pressures for a given die material. Optimum procedures are to minimize a die thickness under the conditions that the stress distributions in the die and stress-rings utilize fully the strength available in each of the die elements. This paper proposes a new approach, where the maximum allowable shrinking pressures are calculated on shrinkage plans in the radial direction and the fractional shrinking pressures below the maximum allowable pressures are used as the design values. Two criteria for the optimal die design are used: Maximum shear stress limit for one-piece dies and zero tensile stress limit for combined dies. A computer program, DIECOM, is developed for illustrating the computer-aided design procedures. Finally, examples for each case are presented in this paper.

In order to make 3-D glass from 2-D glass for mobile device windows, a mold is used for heat forming. In this process, the temperature of the glass is very important. However, measuring the temperature of the glass inside the mold is very difficult owing to the mold structure and the high temperature. The purpose of this study is to measure the temperature inside the mold by using Process Temperature Control Rings (PTCR) and to compensate for temperature differences in the heat forming machine and inside the mold. The measuring method uses the ceramic material's shrinkage characteristics, which makes it possible to measure the temperature inside the mold at various locations.

Juvenile and transitional-juvenile wood samples from loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) were immersed in water to investigate longitudinal and tangential swelling properties. Increment cores from twenty-six loblolly pine trees were sampled at breast height (1.37 m). Earlywood rings 5 and 9 were separated from the core, extracted, oven-dried and immersed in water at room temperature. The variance in longitudinal swell was significant for ring 5 compared to ring 9 (p = 0.001). It was found that tangential swell might predict longitudinal swelling of juvenile wood at ring 9 but not at ring 5. Poor correlation in ring 5 suggests that swelling response in younger juvenile wood may differ. The swell response at ring 5 did not follow the shrinkage models discussed in the literature while ring 9 adhered to the expected curve.

To determine the effect of chemical structure of aromatic amino curing agents on thermal and mechanical properties, standard epoxy resin DGEBF (diglycidylether of bisphenol F) was cured with diaminodiphenyl methane (DDM) and diaminodiphenyl sulphone (DDS) in a stoichiometrically equivalent ratio. From this work the effect of aromatic amino curing agents on the thermal and mechanical properties is significantly influenced by the chemical structure of curing agents. In contrast, the results show that the DGEBF/DDS system having the sulfone structure between the benzene rings had higher values in the thermal stability, density, shrinkage ($\%$), thermal expansion coefficient, tensile modulus and strength, flexural modulus and strength than the DGEBF/DDM system having methylene structure between the benzene rings, whereas the DGEBF/DDS system presented low values in maximum exothermic temperature, conversion of epoxide, and grass transition temperature. These results are caused by the relative effects of sulfone group having strong electronegativity and methylene group having (+) repulsive property. The result of fractography shows that the grain distribution of DGEBF/DDS system is more irregular than that of the DGEBF/DDM system.

The automated die design program is developed for cold forging of axisymmetric parts which are mainly produced by forward extrusion, backward extrusion, composite extrusion and upsetting. For this study, firstly classification of forged parts and investigation of die construction type usually employed in forging industry are carried out and the most proper type from several kinds of die construction is proposed as a standardized one. Based on the die design rules summarized in the references such as handbooks, technical papers, monthly journals, etc. the automated die design program was made using AutoLISP language available in AutoCAD software of personal computer. This program interactively runs for only input data, for example, forging process, shape of forged parts, type of punch, split of die insert and design of shrinkage rings and then displays details of drawings necessary to make a forging die. When a variety of forging processes and forged parts are tested to examine the validity of this program, it was confirmed to give good results applicable to the forging die design in press shop.

This study was carried out to investigate the wood qualities for the end-use development of sycamore (Platanus occidentalis L.) grown in Korea. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The average length of wood fibers was l.56mm and the average width of annual rings was 9.5mm. It had very fast growth rate. 2. The specific gravity in air-dry was 0.66. The shrinkage and water absorption were relatively large. The shear and impact strengthes were very strong, while the compressive, tensile, and bending strengthes were weak in comparison to it's specific gravity. 3. The contents of ash, holocellulose, lignin were relatively high 0.74%, 83.08%, 28.79%, but that of pentosan was low 18.53%. 4. The expected uses of sycamore wood are plywood. fancy veneer, small furniture, musical instrument, door and window frame, tool handels, boxes, etc.

To determine the effect of chemical structure of linear amine curing agents on thermal and mechanical properties, standard epoxy resin DGEBA was cured with diaminodiphenyl methane (DDM), diaminodiphenyl sulphone (DDS) in a stoichiometrically equivalent ratio. From this work, the effect of aromatic amine curing agents. In contrast, the results show that the DGEBA/DDS cure system having the sulfone structure between the benzene rings had higher values in the conversion of epoxide, density, shrinkage (%), glass transition temperature, tensile modulus and strength, flexural modulus and strength than the DGEBA/DDM cure system having methylene structure between the benzene rings, whereas the DGEBA/DDM cure system presented higher values in the maximum exothermic temperature, thermal expansion coefficient, and thermal stability. These results are caused by the relative effects of sulfone group having strong electronegativity and methylene group having (+) repulsive property and stem from the effect of the conversion ratio of epoxide group. The result of fractography shows that the each grain size of the DDM/DGEBA system with feather-like structure is larger than that of the DDS/DGEBA system.

Throughout the world, physical and chemical analyses of horticultural substrates are carried out in many different ways at the different laboratories. In Europe, standardization in properties and analytical methods of horticultural substrates has been a topic over the last decades. As a result, the CEN methods as European standard methods for the physical and chemical analyses were introduced and the final draft was reported in 1999 by CEN(Committee for European Standardization). Dry matter and moisture content are analyzed after drying samples at $103^{\circ}C$. Laboratory compacted bulk density is analyzed by determining the weight of sample compacted in the test cylinder with constant volume. Dry bulk density, particle density, total pore space, water volume, air volume and volume shrinkage are determined by saturating, draining and drying the sample using double rings and a sand suction table. pH and EC are analyzed by 1:5(sample:distilled water) extraction method on the basis of volume. Organic matter and ash content are determined after drying and combusting the samples. Now, CEN methods are being regarded almost as European standard methods. Further study needs to be carried out for universal applicability of the CEN methods to all the substrates.
