Carbon fiber epoxy composite materials are widely used in the structures of aircrafts, robots and other machines because of their high specific stiffness, high specific strength and damping. In order for the composite materials to be used in the robot structure or machine element, bearing mounting and joining surfaces must be provided, which require accurate machining. In this paper, the machinability and tool wear characteristics of the milling operation of the carbon fiber epoxy composite materials were experimentally measured. The tool wear mechanism and the Taylor tool wear constants were determined. Also, the surface roughness of milling operation was measured w.r.t. cutting speed and feed.

The purpose of this study is to understand the cutting characteristics of glass-fiber rein- forced plastic (GFRP) by investigating the variation of cutting force and surface roughness, depending on the amount fo flank wear and cutting conditions. And a Taylor type tool life equation is derived using the regression analysis. The present study reveals that, 1. Taylor's eqquation can be applicable to GFRP nd the constants n (0.170-0.175) and C (53.7- 64.4) are smaller than those in cutting of steel. 2. Principal cutting force increases sharply with the increase of feed rate, but feed force and radial force are almost constant. This result is quite different from that of metal cutting. 3. Cutting forces ($F_P, \;F_Q, \;F_R$) increase with the increase of flank wear, and feed force especially increases sharply with the increase of flank wear. 4. Surface roughness changes very much along the circumference of the workpiece and the amount of flank wear has almost no effect on surface roughness.

Adaptive control technique for a milling process is developed and implemented in an NC milling machine retrofitted to enable the micro-computer control. The control algorithm has the objects to guarantee the optimal tool life which can give the predetemined allowable lower limit of surface roughness. The experimental results show 1) that the extended tool life equation has good reliability in normal tool wear conditions. 2) and that the proposed adaptive control technique, which determine the optimal cutting condition by basing on the tool life equation modified continually according to the tool wear measured in real time, performs well.

This paper is concerned with preventive maintenance model for the items whose failures are dependent on their wear level. The previous maintenance models have used time as their decision variable, but it is not appropriate for the case which have wear dependent processes for their failures. In this paper, we consider an operating item which is under periodic review and which is subject to degradation. The scheduled maintenance (overhaul ) is based on the level of item degradation rather time. A functional equation for the total expected cost over an infinite horizon period is formulated and solved.

A numerical algorithm for predicting fretting wear was developed using the boundary element method (BEM). A contact analysis was performed numerically using the relation between the elastic displacement and uniformly distributed loading of a rectangular patch on a semi-infinite solid. Geometrical updating based on nodal wear depths was performed. The wear depths were computed using the Archard's equation for sliding wear. In order to investigate the efficiency of BEM for predicting fretting wear, a problem involving a two-dimensional cylinder on a flat contact was analyzed, comparing it with the simulation model proposed by McColl et al. that was based on the finite element method. The developed method was then applied to the analysis of a spherical contact and it was shown that the developed simulation technique could efficiently predict fretting wear. Moreover, the effect of a step cycle on the solution obtained by the developed method was investigated.

The aim of this study is to examine the correlation between tooth wear and age by quantitatively measuring maxillary first molar wear in children. A total of 150 maxillary dental models were analyzed in 30 subjects (male, 11; female, 19) with an age range of 6-14 years. Maxillary first molar wear were assessed based on area, volume and the shortest distance from the buccal occlusal plane to the central pit point (BCPH). The area and volume of the tooth cusps were measured at four different offset-plane heights (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 mm). Relationship between age and the amount of wear or BCPH were statistically analyzed. Correlation and regression analyses were also performed, and age estimation was obtained with linear regression analysis. Repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed significant differences between age and the amount of wear based on area, volume, and offset-plane height. Except age of 8 and 10, 12 and 14's 0.2-mm offset-plane-measured volume, all area and volume measurement of all ages and offset-plane height showed a significant amount of increase. Wear speeds were calculated using the BCPH. Among age and measurement variables, the correlation coefficient was strongest when the volume was measured from the 0.4-mm offset-plane. As age increases, the amount of wear, as quantified by area and volume measurements, also increases. According to this study, a regression equation that can be used for age estimation is follows: Age $(y)=0.16{\times}0.4V+0.85$ ($R^2=0.490$) using volume.

This study attempted to provide basic data on the golf wear brand strategy plan by verifying the structural model between golf wear brand authenticity, brand attachment, and loyalty. Therefore, subjects with experience in purchasing golf wear over the past 12 months were selected as samples, and 292 copies of data were used for final analysis. As for the data processing method, frequency analysis, internal consistency of reliability, confirmatory factor analysis of validity, correlation analysis and structural equation model analysis were conducted. The program utilized SPSS (ver. 21.0) and AMOS (ver. 20.0). As a result of the study, first, it was found that the brand authenticity of golf wear had significant effect on brand attachment. Second, brand attachment of golf wear had significant influence on loyalty. Third, brand authenticity of golf wear had significant influence on loyalty. Lastly, brand attachment between golf wear brand authenticity and loyalty showed partial mediated effect.

On the analysis of cutting mechanics in orthogonal cutting, each cutting force component can be predicted. By adding the flank face wear term to the prediction equation for cutting force components, complete equations are obtained. Using these equations, it is shown that cutting force components are increased linearly as flank face wear land is developed, in theory and experiment. By making non-dimensional term ie. Fv/Fc, the width of variation of output signal Fv/Fc is greately decreased compared with each cutting force component as cutting condition is varied. Among these conditions, the variation of chip width in the range of more than 1mm and that of cutting velocity have little effect on the output signal Fv/Fc, that of Flank face werr land can be detected without difficulty.

This paper describes an empherical equation which is to predict the engine condition of the supersonic aircraft. The equation, which is a function of running time of engine and engine oil, is derived from the trend analysis of JOAP data. Qualitative analysis is carried out to make up for the weak points in the current JOAP system. Also wear debris collected from the abnormal engine is analyzed by EDS to detect the damaged parts of engine.

This paper reports on the theoretical study of the vane motions in a positive displacement vane pump. Vane detachment cause the pressure fluctuation, noise, wear in cam ring, and decrease the volumetric efficiency. Dynamic equation of vane motion and flow continuity equation have been modeled and solved simultaneously using 4th order Runge-Kutta method. As results of analysis, vane detachment occurs due to pressure overshoot by excess compression in the pumping chamber. Amount of vane detachment has been reduced by decreasing the pressure overshoot.
