In this study, by determining lower limb movements which cause significant changes in body surface lines, body parts with the greatest maximum expansion and contraction rate respectively were illustrated in descending order. Using unmarried female university students aged 18 - 24 as subjects, a total of 32 body surface categories (15 body surface lines and 17 body surface segment lines) were measured in one static and 9 movement poses. In particular, expansion and contraction levels and rates were measured and used in the analysis. The analysis first involved the calculation of the average measurement per body part in body surface line in static pose as well as of the average expansion and contraction levels and rates in 9 lower limb movements. Two-way MANOVA and multiple comparison analysis (Tukey) were conducted on movements and individual somatotypes regarding measurement per body part and expansion and contraction rates. Movements which cause measurements of body surface lines differed significantly in body surface line in static pose versus in movement were then identified. Among average expansion and contraction rates in such movements, maximum average expansion and contraction levels, maximum average expansion and contraction rate, and classes of expansion and contraction rate were determined per body part. The results of this study are as follows. First, 5 lower limb movements; F2, F5, F6, F7, F8, which caused significant changes in body surface lines were determined and illustrated in table 4. Second, the levels, rates, and classes of expansion and contraction rate per body part are illustrated in Tables 5 and 6. Body parts with the greatest maximum expansion rate were, in descending order: upper segment of center back leg line, upper segment of inner leg line, middle segment of center front leg line, posterior crotch length, anterior knee girth, anterior thigh girth, center back leg line, girth at crotch height, anterior midway thigh girth, hip girth, anterior crotch length, knee girth, waist girth, inner leg line, thigh girth, and crotch length. Those with the greatest maximum contraction rate were, in descending order: anterior crotch length, upper segment of center front leg line, lower segment of center back leg line, center front leg line, and posterior thigh girth. The maximum expansion rates and maximum contraction rates, which ranged from 2.05 to $35.95\%$ and from -0.20 to $-30.16\%$ respectively, were classified per body part into 4 ABCD classes. The body part with maximum expansion was the upper segment of the center back leg line at vertical body surface line, expanding by $35.95\%$ or 16.03cm in F5 flexion movement. In contrast, the body part with maximum contraction was the anterior crotch length at vertical body surface line, contracting by $-30.16\%$ or -10.54cm in F5 flexion movement. Both, however, were the body parts to expand or contract the most among all horizontal and vertical body surface lines.

The Purposes of this study were 1)to find the body surface total line and segment line significantly(${\alpha}$=0.05) changed by the leg movement including all movement direction of hip joint, knee joint and ankle joint for the more functional clothing. 2)to classify them into 3 types-expansion type, contraction type, expansion & contraction type, and 3)to identify the characteristics of the body surface length changes. 10 Crosswise and 5 lengthwise body surface total lines and 48 crosswise & 39 lengthwise body surface segment lines of 26 female college students aged from 18 to 24 years were measured directly on the body surface and were analyzed by ANOVA & Multiple Comparison Test (Tukey). The results were as following : Body surface total lines significantly changed were all the body surface total lines except abdoman girth, 1/2thigh girth of lower leg and ankle girth, and these were classified into 3 types : Center front leg line belonged to expansion & contraction type, whereas lateral leg line, legscye girth, and total crotch length belonged to contraction type. The rest belonged to expansion type. Knee girth showed maximum expansion, whereas center front leg line showed maximum contraction. Body surface total lines have shown large expansion crosswise whereas lengthwise they have mainly shown contraction. At least more than one component segment line of each body surface total lines except abdoman girth and ankle girth have shown significant change. Top segment of inner leg line showed maximum expansion. whereas just below top segment of center front leg line showed maximum contraction. Crosswise all the body surface segment lines have shown expansion except inner back segments of thigh girth and 1/2thigh girth of upper leg which have shown contraction. Lengthwise they have shown both expansion and contraction according to the location of front or back, and below or upper 1/2thigh girth line except the component segment lines of lateral leg line, which has shown contraction only.(cf. figure 2. figure 3. and table 2-2).

Cavity expansion and contraction solutions for cylindrical and spherical cavities in unsaturated residual soils are presented in this paper. Varying soil state in the plastic zone is accounted by a numerical approach, wherein an element-by-element discretization of the plastic zone of both expanding and contracting cavities is carried out. Unlike existing methods utilizing self-similarity technique, the solution procedure enables the prediction of entire soil-state at any stage of expansion and subsequent contraction. It is also applicable for both cavity creation and expansion problems. The approach adopts constant contribution of suction to effective stress (constant X^s drainage condition) for analysis. The analysis procedure is validated by interpreting the previously reported pressuremeter test results in lateritic residual soil. The typical cavity expansion and contraction characteristics of unsaturated Indian lateritic soil were then examined using this solution procedure. The effect of initial soil-state on cavity limit pressure, plastic radius, reverse yield pressure, and reverse plastic radius are also presented.

In this study, we have developed a prediction model for expansion and contraction behaviors of expansion joint in Gwangan Bridge using machine learning techniques and bridge monitoring data. In the development of the prediction model, two famous machine learning techniques, multiple regression analysis (MRA) and artificial neural network (ANN), were employed. Structural monitoring data obtained from bridge monitoring system of Gwangan Bridge were used to train and validate the developed models. From the results, it was found that the expansion and contraction behaviors predicted by the developed models are matched well with actual expansion and contraction behaviors of Gwangan Bridge. Therefore, it can be concluded that both MRA and ANN models can be used to predict the expansion and contraction behaviors of Gwangan Bridge without actual measurements of those behaviors.

본 논문은 냉장고 수축팽창 소음의 원인 및 메커니즘을 파악하고 소음 감소 방법을 제안한다. 냉장고에서 발생하는 수축팽창 소음은 주로 내부부품 사이의 접촉면에서 발생하는 스틱슬립 현상에 의한 것이다. 스틱슬립 현상을 일으키는 요인을 규명하기 위해 마찰실험이 수행되었다. 또한 내부부품의 진동레벨을 측정하여 수축팽창 소음의 특성 및 위치를 규명하였다. 실험 결과를 바탕으로 요인별 소음 특성을 검증하는 실험이 진행되었다. 이를 통해 마찰실험과 냉장고 수축팽창 소음 발생 위치와 빈도가 동일한 것을 확인하였다. 하중적재로 수직력이 증가하면 진동레벨도 증가하였다. 또한 표면거칠기를 증가하였을 때 수축팽창 소음이 저감되는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서, 마찰실험 결과와 동일하게 접촉면의 표면거칠기를 증가하는 것이 수축팽창 소음저감 방법이라는 결론을 도출하였다.

To obtain an exact flow loss in piping systems is very important in the face of efficiency anticipation and work control of plant. The object of this study is to get the flow loss through the experiment for sudden expansion and contraction part of circular pipe nozzle. The experiment in this study is performed after getting the flow loss factor for sudden expansion and contraction through preliminary experiments. It is confirmed that the results of this study agreed with the approximated equation of Ikeda and Matsuo. It is proved that flow loss factor ${\zeta}_3$for sudden expansion and contraction part of circular pipe is dependent on $L/D_1$in these experimental conditions.

In order to look into the comparative flow characteristics between a circular contraction duct and a circular expansion duct the both centerline turbulent structures have been investigated by the hot wire anemometry. Both of the contraction and the expansion have Morel type contours. Means, turbulences, and triple moments have been measured for the turbulent kinetic energy budgets along their centerlines. It is resulted that mean velocities of both have much deviated from theoretical values calculated by one-dimensional continuity considerations, and that for the same upstream condition, the expansion maintains the isotropy in general while the contraction maintains a severe anisotropy through the whole duct. The mean transport of the TKE along the expansion is willing to balance mostly with the dissipation in the TKE budgets while that along the contraction is balanced with the production in the turbulent kinetic energy equation.

A finite element analysis was carried out for a 4:1 planar contraction die for polymer melts using the viscoelastic constitutive equation of Leonov. Viscoelastic fluids showed significant differences in pressure drop and birefringence in contraction and expansion flows. The pressure drop was higher and the birefringence smaller in expansion than in contraction flow. The difference increased with increasing flow rate. The nonlinear Leonov model was shown to describe the viscoelastic effects observed in experiments.

Let M be a matroid. We study the expansions of M mainly to see how the combinatorial properties of M and its expansions are related to each other. It is shown that M is a graphic, binary or a transversal matroid if and only if an arbitrary expansion of M has the same property. Then we introduce a new functor, called contraction, which acts in contrast to expansion functor. As a main result of paper, we prove that a matroid M satisfies White's conjecture if and only if an arbitrary expansion of M does. It follows that it suffices to focus on the contraction of a given matroid for checking whether the matroid satisfies White's conjecture. Finally, some classes of matroids satisfying White's conjecture are presented.
