Fibers reinforced concrete(FRC) has abilities to make up for brittleness fracture as one of the material characteristics of concrete. However, being mixed with steed fibers in concrete mixes could set off a "Fiber Ball". The Fiber ball formation could be one of the main reasons to decrease the quality of Fibers reinforced concrete. In order to eliminate the fiber ball formation and improve the deficient flowablitiy, The necessity of research for fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete(FRC-SCC) should be raised.

The best simulation condition for the fiber collimator that uses ball lenses was investigated. This kind of fiber collimator can be used in a Micro-Optical-Cross-Connects(MOXC). MOXC is composed of collimating ball lenses, micro mirrors and single-mode fibers. In order to design a MOXC, it is very important to calculate beam path, beam radius, divergence angle that determines the insertion loss of the MOXC. Since the beam profile from the fiber facet is not exact Gaussian profile, it was found that the simulation condition in which beam waist exists on the fiber facet, ignoring Numerical Aperture(NA), gives best agreement with the experimental results. Beam radii were measured with conventional knife edge method.

Milled carbon fiber (mCF) was prepared by a ball milling process, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) diffractograms were obtained by a $2{\theta}$ continuous scanning analysis to study mCF crystallinity as a function of milling time. The raw material for the mCF was polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fiber (T700). As the milling time increased, the mean particle size of the mCF consistently decreased, reaching $1.826{\mu}m$ at a milling time of 18 h. The XRD analysis showed that, as the milling time increased, the fraction of the crystalline carbon decreased, while the fraction of the amorphous carbon increased. The (002) peak became asymmetric before and after milling as the left side of the peak showed an increasingly gentle slope. For analysis, the asymmetric (002) peak was deconvoluted into two peaks, less-developed crystalline carbon (LDCC) and more-developed crystalline carbon. In both peaks, Lc decreased and $d_{002}$ increased, but no significant change was observed after 6 h of milling time. In addition, the fraction of LDCC increased. As the milling continued, the mCF became more amorphous, possibly due to damage to the crystal lattices by the milling.

In order to set up the design of micro optical bench, optical coupling efficiencies of two sets of test benches are calculated. Simple linear connections of incoming and outgoing optical fibers with and without ball lenses are designed. Positional errors that are possible in actual fabrication processes we considered in the calculations and their tolerances are determined from -3 ㏈ conditions. For a simple fiber-to-fiber connection, the lateral misalignment should be limited to 2.7 um and tilt error 5.8o. In case of the fiber-to-fiber with ball lens, the working distance between fibers can be extended over 60 um. The optical coupling efficiency depends strongly on the positional errors of ball lenses along the optical axis, and it is also found that the lateral and vertical positional errors should be considered simultaneously in order to keep the high coupling efficiency.

Fiber orientation effects on the impact surface fracture of the glass plates coated with the glass fiber/epoxy lamina layer were investigated using a small-diameter steel-ball impact experiment. Four kinds of materials were used: soda-lime glass plates, unidirectional glass fiber/epoxy layer(one ply, two plies)-coated, crossed glass tiber/epoxy layer (two plies)-coated glass plates. The maximum stress and absorbed fracture energy were measured on the back surface of glass plates during the impact. With increasing impact velocity, various surface cracks such as ring, cone, radial and lateral cracks appeared near the impacted site of glass plates. Cracks in the plate drastically diminished by glass fiber coating. The tiber orientation guided the directions of delamination and plastic deformation zones between the tiber layer and the glass plate. Impact surface-fracture indices expressed in terms of the maximum stress and absorbed energy could be used as an effective evaluation parameter of the surface resistance.

Ferrule is widely used as fiber optic connecters. In fiber-optic communications. the shape accuracy such as coaxiality and cylindricity of ferrule affects insertion loss. When coaxial grinding of ferrule supported by two pin. pin alignment and chucking accuracy are very important. In this research, the kinematic behavior of the ferrule centers are investigated in the case where the ferrule is chucked with the cone-shaped center pins and bail centers, With homogeneous coordinate transformation and numerical analysis, the obtained results are as follows: In the case of cone-type center, the alignment errors between center pins alone do not affect the rotation accuracy of ferrule. The alignment errors between center holes cause sinusoidal displacement of ferrule. And the maximum displacement of ferrule centers is proportional to the center pin angle. In the case of ball-type center, the displacements of ferrule centers has similar pattern as cone-type center, and the alignment errors art proportional to ball diameters.

In order to set up the design rule of micro optical bench, optical coupling efficiencies of two sets of test benches are calculated. Simple linear connections of incoming and outgoing optical fibers with and without ball lenses are designed. Positional errors that are possible in actual fabrication processes are considered in the calculations and their tolerances are determined from 3dB conditions. For a simple fiber-to-fiber connection, the working distance is limited to $2.7\mu\textrm{m}$ and tilt error $5.8^{\circ}$. When ball lenses are located in front of each fiber, the working distance can be extended over $60\mu\textrm{m}$ , but the positional errors have the strong interaction among position parameters and thus should be considered simultaneously for tolerance design.

Thirteen varieties of hemp, Cannabinus sativa L., consisting of four Italian, one Japanese and eight local varieties were used in the study on the fiber content and a satisfactory selection for the higher-fiber-yielding plants. In addition, the relationship among fiber contents at the ball setting stage, and at the maturity stage, primary fiber content, and total fiber content were determined. The results of the study are summarized as follow: 1. Fiber weight of the matured male plant expressed as percentage of the fiber weight to dried stems varied from 12.09 to 26.71 percent for the Italian varieties, 14.25% for the Japanese variety and ranged from 6.59 to 16.79 for the local varieties. It was shown that on the average, Italian varieties contained more fiber compared with the other varieties. 2. On the same basis, the average percent age of fiber for Italian male plants was 20.77 while it was 20.96 for female plants. For the Japanese variety, similar figures were 14.24 for male plants and 15.43 for female plants. By comparison, the average percent fiber for the male plants of Korean varieties was only 10.34 but averaged 16.79 for female plants. In this experiment, female plants contained a greater percentage of fiber than male plants. 3. Statistically significant correlations were obtained between fiber content at the ball setting stage and fiber content of the mature plant. The correlation coefficient was r=0.942＊＊, while the regression equation was Y=0.28+1.03X. These data indicate that plant. selection by early testing at the ball setting stage is an effective method for the improvement of fiber content. 4. The correlation between primary fiber content and total fiber content was r=0.913＊＊, with a regression equation of Y=12.01+1.20X. It should thus be possible to obtain plants of higher total fiber content at maturity by the selection of plants which have a higher content of primary fiber at the ball setting stage. 5. From a study of the transverse sections from the hemp plant it was shown that Italian varieties have wide bands of primary and secondary fibers with narrow areas of woody material, while both Korean local varieties and Japanese varieties have narrow bands of primary and secondary fiber and wide areas of woody material. For hemp improvement, it is certain that a variety which has a narrow area of woody substances and wide area of fiber in its stem should be selected.
