The thermal and friction characteristics of phenolic resin and model friction materials were investigated with the content of acrylonitrilebutadienerubber(NBR). The thermal characteristics of material was performed by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. The friction and wear characteristics of the material were determined by using friction material testing machine. The results show that with the more content of rubber, the loss modulus of friction material was increased. The friction coefficient and the specific wear rate with various NBR contents were reported.

The rheological and penetration characteristics of sodium alginate and xanthan gum aqueous solutions were analyzed for the development of biopolymer-based injection materials. The results of viscosity measurements for the rheological characteristics analysis show that all aqueous biopolymer solutions exhibit a tendency for shear-thinning, i.e., the apparent viscosity decreases as the shear rate increases. In addition, a regression analysis using several models (Power-law, Casson, Sisko, and Cross) was applied to the shear-thinning fluid analysis results, the highest accuracy was determined by applying the power-law model. The micromodel experiment for the penetration characteristics analysis determined that all biopolymer aqueous solutions show higher pore saturation than water, and that pore saturation tends to increase as the flow rate and concentration increases. When comparing the rheological and penetration characteristics of the biopolymer aqueous solution used in this study, the xanthan gum aqueous solution showed a fully developed shear-thinning tendency, unlike the sodium alginate aqueous solution. This tendency is considered to have the advantage of enhancement injectability and pore saturation.

The along-wind coefficient is the key parameter for wind load calculations in tower crane structure design. It is often calculated using overall parameter characteristics, which may lead to inaccurate results. In this study, six types of tower masts and four types of tower jibs with different overall structural characteristics and member characteristics are established. Through wind tunnel force tests and CFD numerical simulation, the along-wind coefficient of the overall structure and each member are obtained. Based on the characteristics of the slenderness ratio and spacing ratio of the members, a mathematical model for calculating the along-wind coefficient of the tower crane structure is proposed. The calculated results are in accordance with the wind tunnel test results. The maximum relative error is -6.25%, and the minimum relative error is 0.68%. To ensure accuracy, it is necessary to calculate the along-wind coefficient of the tower crane structure based on the load of each structure member rather than using overall parameter characteristics.

This paper presents a study regarding the influence of various water levels on the characteristics of subgrade mud pumping through a self-developed test instrument. The characteristics of mud pumping are primarily reflected by axial strain, excess pore water pressure, and fine particle migration. The results show that the axial strain increases nonlinearly with an increase in cycles number; however, the increasing rate gradually decreases, thus, an empirical model for calculating the axial strain of the samples is presented. The excess pore water pressure increases rapidly first and then decreases slowly with an increase in cycles number. Furthermore, the dynamic stress within the soil first rapidly decreases and then eventually slows. The results indicate that the axial strain, excess pore water pressure, and the height and weight of the migrated fine particles decrease significantly with a low water level. In this study, when the water level is 50 mm lower than the subgrade soil surface, the issue of subgrade mud pumping no longer exist.

So far, the Taguchi Method has dealt with multiple quality characteristics under the assumption that they are independent. Since the relationships between quality characteristics are practically important, this study proposes a new performance measure considering the correlation among characteristics. In this paper, we impose weight on each characteristic and correlation among characteristics. The loss function of multiple characteristics is defined in accordance with combination of simple characteristic types, and it is divided into terms of loss that characteristic itself and the correlation among characteristics cause. And the proposed method uses the expected loss of multiple characteristics as the new performance measure. The data in literature are used to compare with the existing performance measures.

The purpose of this research was to study the influence of machining characteristics for aluminum alloys. The effect of metallic microstructural variables on the measures of machinability of aluminum alloys has no been adequately investigated. Machining Characteristics are influenced significantly by mechanical characteristics, composition and structure of material etcs. For improvement of machining characteristics, various studies are reported. In this paper, composition elements add to aluminum alloys within the limit of sustaining mechanical characteristics of metallic material. We have analyzed dynamic characteristics of cutting resistance, tensile strength value, hardness value etcs.

In this study, the general characteristics, and theories of cochlear concerning with hearing are examined. Also the digital method is studied in order to analyze with microcomputer on the model equation of basiliar membrane in the cochlear derived from 3-dimensional rectangular block model which is studied by Boer. The method is illustrated for the amplitude characteristics of basiliar momtrane wave velocity. The results obtained are as follows; 1. In the magnitude characteristics, the velocity gradually increases from the stapes, shows the maximum magnitude, and then rapidly decreases to the Helicotrema. 2. The characteristics of 3-dimensional model is located between 1-and 2- dimensional models in the velocity characteristics coefficients, magnitude characteristics, and the pattern of 2-dimensional model shoves the different features from the 1-dimensional and 3-dimensional rectangular block model. 3. In the 3-dimensional rectangular block model, the characteristics of the waveform and the maximum resonant point are same whether Z(X) is linear or nonlinear.

When designing the parameter on the multiple quality characteristics, there has been a study for optimization of problems, but there has been few former study on the possible conflicting phenomena in consideration of the correlations among the characteristics. To solve the issue on the optimal design for multiple quality characteristics, this study propose the expected loss function with cross-product terms among the characteristics and derived range of the coefficients of the terms. The model will be used to determine the global optimal design parameters where there exists the conflict among the characteristics, which shows difference in optimal design parameters for the individual characteristics. Also, when an adjustment factor exists for each m performance characteristics, this research propose a method by minimizing the expected loss after adjustment.

This study investigated changes of mechanical characteristics in the trabecular and cortical bone of the lumbar vertebrae of the ovariectomised(OVX) rat. In previous researches, there were many studies for morphology of osteoporotic bones based on Micro-CT (Micro - Computed Tomography). However, there were few studies for detecting and tracking changes of mechanical characteristics in the trabecular bone and cortical bone of the lumbar vertebrae for the OVX rat. For this study, one female Sprague-Dawley rat was used: an OVX rat. The 4th lumbar of the OVX rat was utilized as a specimen. Detecting and tracking changes of mechanical characteristics could be investigated in the trabecular and cortical bone of the lumbar vertebrae for an OVX rat using In-vivo Micro-CT. An OVX rat was scanned at week 0 (just before surgery), at week 4, and week 8 after surgery. Micro finite element(${\mu}\;FE$) analysis was used to investigate mechanical characteristics in the trabecular and cortical bone of the lumbar vertebrae for an OVX rat.

The fringe field effects on the transient characteristics of nano-electromechanical (NEM) memory cells have been discussed by using an analytical model. The influence of fringe field becomes stronger as the size of a cell decreases. By using the proposed model, the dependency of NEM memory transient characteristics on cell parameters has been evaluated.
