Concrete filled FRP tube has lately attracted attention as the member that can substitute the conventional reinforced concrete. Glass fiber and carbon fiber are some of available materials for FRP tube. Carbon tube is filament wound with specified winding angle to meet the appropriate capacity demands. Confinement effect of carbon tube is varied according to winding angle. In this study, a total 4 of large scale circular specimens of 30cm diameter and 60cm height is tested. To estimate the effect of winding angle and thickness of carbon tube on the increased confined compressive strength, the test tube are wound with $\pm45^{\circ}\;and\;\pm30^{\circ}$ with two types of thickness, 2mm and 3mm, respectively. It is shown that effectively increased confined strength and ductility are observed from the specimens with $\pm45^{\circ}$ winding angle than $\pm30^{\circ}$ winding angle. Increasing thickness is not as effective as adjusting winding angle for the confinement of concrete core.

The aspects examined in the present study concerning the location and position of the lower third molar and the interrelationships of this molar, the gonial angle, and the second lower molar in subjects aged 8-24 are based on measurements made from 472 orthopantomograms. The following conclusion were drawn on the basis of the present study. 1. The gonial angle decreased with age, but slight enlarging occurred in the age group 20-21. 2. The angulation of the third molar in relation to the second molar did not correlate with the size of the gonial angle but decreased with developmental stage. 3. The mesial angle between the longitudinal axis of the second molar and the mandibular base line correlated significantly with the gonial angle. The above angle were smaller in Class II, Divison 2 and larger in Class III than in Class I and Class II, Division 1. 4. The rate of presence of lower third molar was 74.4%.

Pole arcs, turn-on angle, and turn-off angle are major design factors, which affects Switched Reluctance Motor's torque performance. If these design factors are considered independently, the enhancement of SRM performance is restricted. Therefore, we need to consider pole arcs, turn-on angle and turn-off angle at the same time, when we design SR. In this paper, we analyze how these factors affect to torque ripple and average torque by using dynamic Finite Element Method(FEM) with derive circuit and present the good design results according to the various speeds. Especially, we formulate turn-on and turn-off angle from a voltage equation and present effective design range.

Extruders are the heart of the polymer processing industry. The single most important mechanical element of a screw extruder is the screw. The proper design of the geometriy of the extruder screw is of crucial importance to the proper functioning of the extruder. If material transport instabilities occur as a result of improper screw geometry, even the most sophisticated computerized control system cannot solve the problem. For this purpose, characteristics design on helix angle of the extruder screw. This paper presents strength of the screw flight, optimum helix angle versus dimensionless down channel pressure gradient, optimum helix angle versus the power law index in simultaneous optimization, volumetric efficiency versus helix angle at various number of flights and power consumption versus helix angle in the barrel of screw extruder.

A copper-clad aluminium composite bar is lighter and less expressive than a commercial copper alloy bar. Copper-clad aluminium composite bar can be fabricated by hot hydrostatic extrusion process. In this work, the effect of die angle on the compressive properties of copper-clad aluminium composites fabricated using hydrostatic extrusion process was investigated experimentally. The results showed that optimum half die angle was in the range of 40$^{\circ}$ to 50$^{\circ}$ for an extrusion ratio of 19. The results also showed that the half die angle had little influence on the compressive strength of copper-clad aluminium composites. A diffusion layer increased with increasing die angle.

The vibration mode shape changed by the phase angle that can be controlled by phase-shifting ESPI system is discussed. For the phase-shifting ESPI experiment the stroboscopic illumination by using AOM(Acousto-Optic Modulator) is needed, and the initial phase angle can be adjusted by the program. The vibration mode shape is changed when the initial phase angle is changed. We examined the vibration mode shape change due to the initial phase angle change at each resonance frequency. Through this study, we found that in the vibration testing using phase-shilling ESPI the vibration mode shape is improved in the quality by adjusting exact phase angle and the error of the quantitative vibration analysis can be reduced.

Gait control capacity for most trans-femoral prostheses is significantly different from that of a normal person, and training is required for a long period of time in order for a patient to walk properly. People become easily tired when wearing a prosthesis or orthosis for a long period typically because the gait angle cannot be smoothly adjusted during wearing. Therefore, to improve the gait control problems of a trans-femoral prosthesis, the proper gait angle is estimated through surface EMG(electromyogram) signals on a normal leg, then the gait posture which the trans-femoral prosthesis should take is calculated in the neural network, which learns the gait kinetics on the basis of the normal leg's gait angle. Based on this predicted angle, a postural control method is proposed and tested adaptively following the patient's gait habit based on the predicted angle. In this study, the gait angle prediction showed accuracy of over $97\%$, and the posture control capacity of over $90\%$.

Rotating stall in vaneless diffusers of centrifugal compressor occurs in the diffuser wall due to flow separation at large inlet flow angle. For this reason, the critical inlet flow angles are suggested by several researchers. Beyond this critical angle, flow separates in the diffuser, and develops into rotating stall. This paper studied this critical flow angle. Rotating stall is measured through eight fast-response pressure transducers which are equally spaced around the circumference at the inlet and exit of a vaneless diffuser. Experiments are done from 20000rpm to 60000rpm for the diffuser stall. Two-cell structure which rotates at $6{\~}l0{\%}$ of impeller speed is fully developed at $20000{\~}40000rpm$, and three-cell structure which rotates at $7{\~}9{\%}$ of impeller speed is fully developed at $50000{\~}60000rpm$. This paper shows that the critical inlet flow angle is not constant but related with tip speed of impeller. As tip speed increases, so does the critical inlet flow angle.

In wide angle diffuser, the increasement of cross-sectional area so rapidly cause possibly separate from the diffuser wall and forming areas of backflow. The flow characteristics of wide angle diffuser with guide damper was investigated for three kind of inclined angle($\alpha=7_{\circ},\;10.5_{\circ}\;and\;14_{\circ}$)of guide damper. Judging from the results, guide damper can be used as an effective means of improvement for diffuser performance and inclined angle of $\alpha=10.5^{\circ}$ was through to be the best among three cases.

A fixed angle softened truss model has been developed in order to predict both shear strength and deformation of reinforced concrete members. The model takes into account the contribution of concrete by accuming the angle of cracks in the postcracking concrete that coincides with the reinforced concrete principal compressive angle determined by the applied stresses. Therefore, this model is capable of predicting the contribution of concrete from the govering equilibrium and compatibility equations including the shear stress and strain developed along concrete diagonal crack. However, the model has a limiting range to be applicable for reinforced concrete members. This research proposes a new algorthm of fixed angle softened truss model capable of removing the limitation of applicability. The proposed algorithm adopts a new conception of constitutive laws. The average normal stresses of concrete in the x- y- directions can be calculated by transforming the principal stresses of concrete. The proposed algorthm is verified by comparing to the test results.
