The muffler reducing the exhaust noise and vibration from the engine influence on the engine performance. Recently the semi-active muffler was developed and adopted to the actual use in consideration of the cost and technical side for noise and vibration. This study is about the recently developed semi-active muffler. This paper attempt to analyze the dynamic stress field on the gate plate by using the finite element methods. According to the analysis of the Exhaust Variable Valve, its spring has the most influence on its operation compare with effects of other components. The design parameters of the Exhaust Variable Valve such as the spring displacement, diameter, coil number, free angle and so forth were used.

The present paper concerns the macroscopic overall description of rheologic properties for steel wire and synthetic fibre cables under variable loading actions according to non-linear creep and/or relaxation theory. The general constitutive equations of non-linear creep and/or relaxation of tension elements - cables under one-step and the variable stress or strain inputs using the product and two types of additive approximations of the kernel functions are presented in the paper. The derived non-linear constitutive equations describe a non-linear rheologic behaviour of the cables for a variable stress or strain history using the kernel functions determined only by one-step - constant creep or relaxation tests. The developed constitutive equations enable to simulate and to predict in a general way non-linear rheologic behaviour of the cables under an arbitrary loading or straining history. The derived constitutive equations can be used for the various tension structural elements with the non-linear rheologic properties under uniaxial variable stressing or straining.

This paper considers large deflection problem of a simply supported beam with variable are length subjected to a point load. The beam has one of its ends hinged and at a fixed distance from this end propped by a frictionless support over which the beam can slide freely. This highly nonlinear flexural problem is solved by elliptic-integral method and shooting-optimization technique, thereby providing independent checks on the new solutions. Because the beam can slide freely over the frictionless support, there is a maximum or critical load which the beam can carry and it is dependent on the position of the load. Interestingly, two possible equilibrium configurations can be obtained for a given load magnitude which is less than the critical value. The maximum arc-length was found to be equal to about 2.19 times the fixed distance between the supports and this value is independent of the load position.

This study examines the effects of parental variable(parental support and supervision), temperament(activity level, attention span/persistence, and emotionality) and the internal locus of control on self-regulation of children. Data were collected from 455 5th and 6th graders and analyzed with Pearson's correlations and pathway analysis. The results were as follows : Children's temperament, internal locus of control and parental variable directly affected children's self-regulation. Parental variables mediated between children's temperament and internal locus of control and self-regulation. Internal locus of control mediated between children's temperament and self-regulation: in addition, the most important variable predicting children's self-regulation was children's attention span/persistence temperament.

Resource and energy saving is a very important practice for the future as well as for today. Weight saving of structural parts, which are formed by extrusion, plays a key role in manufacturing field. The cross-sections of extruded parts with industrial aluminum are constant in the axial direction by conventional extrusion method. Especially, these aluminum parts used and manufactured in the car industry need other processes to vary the cross-section in the axial direction. However, applications of these parts are often limited by high cost. If the cross-section of the parts is variable by only extrusion with newly developed method, the application of extruded aluminum parts will actually increase. Therefore, a new CNC extruder that can control the section area of a car part was invented for the first time in the nation. Using the extrusion machine, the experiment was performed to validate its workability during the variable section extrusion process. Also, numerical analysis was carried out to investigate the flow mode with different speeds of main ram and various pocket shapes of a die-set in the variable section extrusion process.

The dyadic Green`s function for an unbounded anisotropic medium is treated analytically in the Fourier domain. The Green`s function, which is expressed as a triple Fourier integral, can be next reduced to a double integral by performing the integral, by performing the integration over the longitudinal Fourier variable or the transverse Fourier variable. The singular behavior of Green`s is discussed for the general anisotropic case.

For two dimensional elasticity, we suggest a new complex variable method using the Navier's displacement equation. This method gives alternative displacement and stress formulae to those resulting from the Muskhelishvili's complex function method.

A new variable wing that can be swept back and forward synchronously were developed to enhance the aerodynamic and stability characteristics of a high speed airplane. The configuration of the new variable wing changes in such a way that inner part of the wing sweeps forward and outer part of the wing sweeps backward, the shift of aerodynamic center of the wing is small, therfore the static margin that is required for the stability of a airplane is not affected. In this study, various configurations of wing models by combined swept back and forward were designed and a wind tunnel tests were conducted to investigate the aerodynamic characteristics of these variable wings. The experimental results showed that the variable wing by combined swept back and forward has no effect on the pitching moment coefficient affecting on an aircraft stability margin and enhance the aerodynamic characteristics for a given approach angle of attack.

This paper proposes a variable break that can offset prediction error as well as a pre-selection methods, based on the variable break, for enhanced unit selection. In Japanese, a sentence consists of several APs (Accentual phrases) and MPs (Major phrases), and the breaks between these phrases must predicted to realize text-to-speech systems. An MP also consists of several APs and plays a decisive role in making synthetic speech natural and understandable because short pauses appear at its boundary. The variable break is defined as a break that is able to change easily from an AP to an MP boundary, or from an MP to an AP boundary. Using CART (Classification and Regression Trees), the variable break is modeled stochastically, and then we pre-select candidate units in the unit-selection process. As the experimental results show, it was possible to complement a break prediction error and improve the naturalness of synthetic speech.
