In the present paper, a variety of fiber reinforcements, for instance, stabilized OXI-PAN fibers, quasi-carbon fibers, commercial carbon fibers, and their woven fabric forms, have been utilized to fabricate pseudo-unidirectional (pseudo-UD) and 2-directional (2D) phenolic matrix composites using a compression molding method. Prior to fabricating quasi-carbon fiber/phenolic (QC/P) composites, stabilized OXI-PAN fibers and fabrics were heat-treated under low temperature carbonization processes to prepare quasi-carbon fibers and fabrics. The thermal conductivity and thermal expansion/contraction behavior of QC/P composites have been investigated and compared with those of carbon fiber/phenolic (C/P) and stabilized fiber/phenolic composites. Also, the chemical compositions of the fibers used have been characterized. The results suggest that use of proper quasi-carbonization process may control effectively not only the chemical compositions of resulting quasi-carbon fibers but also the thermal conductivity and thermal expansion behavior of quasi-carbon fibers/phenolic composites in the intermediate range between stabilized PAN fiber- and carbon fiber-reinforced phenolic composites.

Accurate aerodynamic characterization of projectile is crucial for successful development of munition. The aerodynamic characterization of fin stabilized projectile is more difficult than characterization of traditional symmetric ballistic projectile. Instrumented free flight experiments were conducted to quantify rolling behavior of fin stabilized projectile. The instrumented projectiles were launched from a rifled tube and the onboard sensor data were acquired through a telemetry transmitter. Roll rate was measured for fin stabilized projectile by means of an angular rate sensor. And, roll damping coefficients were estimated from onboard sensor data acquired during gun firing and trajectory analysis of mathematical model.

The moment-of-fluid (MOF) method is a new volume-tracking method that accurately treats evolving material interfaces. The MOF method uses moment data, namely the material volume fraction, as well as the centroid, for a more accurate representation of the material configuration, interfaces and concomitant volume advection. In this paper, unstructured mesh extension of the MOF method is to be presented. The MOF method is coupled with a stabilized finite element incompressible Navier-Stokes solver for two materials. The effectiveness of the MOF method is demonstrated with a free-surface dam-break problem.

Image segmentation is the task which partitions the image into meaningful regions and considered to be one of the most important steps in computer vision and image processing. Image segmentation is also widely used in object-based video compression such as MPEG-4 to extract out the object regions from the given frame. Watershed algorithm is frequently used to obtain the more accurate region boundaries. But, it is well known that the watershed algorithm is extremely sensitive to gradient noise and usually results in oversegmentation. To solve such a problem, we propose an image segmentation method which is robust to noise by using stabilized inverse diffusion equation (SIDE) and is more efficient in segmentation by employing multiresolution approach. In this paper, we apply both the region projection method using labels of adjacent regions and the region merging method based on region adjacency graph (RAG). Experimental results on noisy image show that the oversegmenation is reduced and segmentation efficiency is increased.

The $(La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2})_{0.95}MnO_3$/yttria-stabilized zirconia (LSM/YSZ) composites were investigated as anode materials for high temperature steam electrolysis using X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, galvanodynamic and galvanostatic polarization method. For this purpose, the LSMperovskites were fabricated in powders by co-precipitation method and then were mixed with 8 mol% YSZ powders in different molar ratios. The LSM/YSZ composites were deposited on 8 mol% YSZ electrolyte disks by means of a screen printing method, followed by sintering at temperatures above $1,100^{\circ}C$. From the experimental results, it is concluded that the electrochemical properties of LSM and the LSM/YSZ composites are closely related to their microstructure and operating temperatures.

This paper concerns on stabilization control of a gyro-stabilized 2-axes gimbal system which is mounted on a moving vehicles such as automobiles, armored vehicles, ships, flying vehicles, etc. A target image acquisition system is attached on the inner gimbal, and the gimbal systems are required to retain high stabilization accuracy in the absolute coordinate in order to provide fine target image while vehicle is moving. The stabilization control performance is hardly depended upon disturbance rejection ability of control, and disturbance feedforward compensation is effective because feedforward compensation reduce the amount of disturbance before the disturbance disturbs the systems. This paper suggests an experimental method which can estimate system parameters and disturbance torques by using 3-axes accelerometer mounted on the inner gimbal. Furthermore, a simple disturbance identification method which can be applied to any slanted base conditions has been suggested to identify mass unbalance vector and friction torques of each gimbal simultaneously. By using the estimated parameters, a feedforward compensation has been applied to the gyro-stabilized 2-axes gimbal system. The experimental results showed that the feedforward compensation based on the identification method suggested is effective to improve stabilization performances.

This study was to explore the characteristics of 6 mole% CaO stabilized $ZrO_2$ prepared by wet chemical methods. The results of the experiments were as follows: 1. The powder calcined at 1000$^{\circ}$-110$0^{\circ}C$ was partly agglomerated. The morphology of agglomerate was spherical of 0.5-1$\mu{m}$ in size for Hot Petroleum Drying Method, chain-like of 1-2$\mu{m}$ for Freeze Drying Method, and irreqular of 2-3$\mu{m}$ for Coprecipitation Method. 2. Optimum calcining conditions for powder prepared by wet chemical methods were found: 110$0^{\circ}C$, 2h in air for Hot Petroleum Drying Method and Freeze Drying Method, and 100$0^{\circ}C$, 2h in air for Coprecipitation Method. 3. When specimen was calcined at 1000$^{\circ}$-110$0^{\circ}C$ in air for 2h and then sintered at 1$600^{\circ}C$ in air for 4h, the specimens prepared by wet chemical methods showed a high sintered density (94% of theoretical density) and a low open porosity (<0.8%); however, the sintered density of the specimen prepared by Oxide Wet Mixing Method was 90%. 4. The amount of cubic phase of sintered body prepared by wet chemical methods was observed to be higher than the one prepared by Oxide Wet Mixing Method. 5. It was found that Hot petroleum Drying Method, Freeze Drying Method and Coprecipitation Method were nearly the same in respect of the results of stabilization grade and sintered density of CaO-stabilized $ZrO_2$.

The stabilized Gauge-Uzawa method (SGUM), which is a second order projection type algorithm to solve the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations, has been newly constructed in 2013 Pyo's paper. The accuracy of SGUM has been proved only for time discrete scheme in the same paper, but it is crucial to study for fully discrete scheme, because the numerical errors depend on discretizations for both space and time, and because discrete spaces between velocity and pressure can not be chosen arbitrary. In this paper, we find out properties of the fully discrete SGUM and estimate its errors and stability to solve the evolution Navier-Stokes equations. The main difficulty in this estimation arises from losing some cancellation laws due to failing divergence free condition of the discrete velocity function. This result will be extended to Boussinesq equations in the continuous research (part II) and is essential in the study of part II.

The Navier-Stokes equations with variable density are challenging problems in numerical analysis community. We recently built the 2nd order stabilized Gauge-Uzawa method [SGUM] to solve the Navier-Stokes equations with constant density and have estimated theoretically optimal accuracy. Also we proved that SGUM is unconditionally stable. In this paper, we apply SGUM to the Navier-Stokes equations with nonconstant variable density and find out the stability condition of the algorithms. Because the condition is rather strong to apply to real problems, we consider Allen-Cahn scheme to construct unconditionally stable scheme.

A stabilized incompressible smoothed particles hydrodynamics (ISPH) method is utilized to simulate free falling rigid body into water domain. Both of rigid body and fluid domain are modeled by SPH formulation. The proposed source term in the pressure Poisson equation contains two terms; divergence of velocity and density invariance. The density invariance term is multiplied by a relaxed parameter for stabilization. In addition, large eddy simulation with Smagorinsky model has been introduced to include the eddy viscosity effect. The improved method is applied to simulate both of free falling vessels with different materials and water entry-exit of horizontal circular cylinder. The applicability and efficiency of improved method is tested by the comparisons with reference experimental results.
