The flow properties of water added com-cob-mix(CCM) were studied in order to provide basic information for designing its pumping system. For the study, a model system similar to actual situation was constructed. From the experiment, it can be concluded that the flow properties of the water added CCM has close relationship with its moisture content as follows; 1. The pressure drop caused by friction was very low when the moisture content of water added CCM was more than 70%. However, when the moisture content of the material is about 60%, the pressure drop increases up to 10 kPa/m at low pumping speed, and 20 kPa/m at high pumping speed, respectively. 2. The water added CCM having about 65% moisture content showed pseudo-plastic flow characteristics. 3. As the moisture content of the material decreases, the shear stress increases more rapidly than the shear rate does. Finally, below approximately 60% moisture, the shear stress becomes a linear relationship with the shear rate. 4. It was possible to pump the material having the moisture content down to 58% through a pipe having 80 mm diameter by a pump operating at 234 rpm. However, by either increasing the diameter of the pipe or decreasing the pumping speed, it can be possible to pump the material having lower moisture content than 55%.

The properties of composite materials, when compared to those of metallic materials, are highly variable due to many factors including the batch-to-batch variability of raw materials, the prepreg manufacturing process, material handling, part-fabrication techniques, ply-stacking sequences, environmental conditions, and test procedures. It is therefore necessary to apply reliable statistical-analysis techniques to obtain the design allowables of composite materials. A new composite-material qualification process has been developed by the Advanced General Aviation Transport Experiments (AGATE) consortium to yield the lamina-design allowables of composite materials according to standardized coupon-level tests and statistical techniques; moreover, the generated allowables database can be shared among multiple users without a repeating of the full qualification procedure by each user. In 2005, NASA established the National Center for Advanced Materials Performance (NCAMP) with the purpose of refining and enhancing the AGATE process to a self-sustaining level to serve the entire aerospace industry. In this paper, the statistical techniques and procedures for the generation of the allowables of aerospace composite materials will be discussed with a focus on the pooling-across-environments method.

Contingency response in a FMS system requires that the system be able to identify and evaluate a number of alternatives. This paper is outlined that DSS completes with a problem processor in corporating Timed Petri Nets model, and a data base system. DSS enables the FMS user to get the maximum benefit from a FMS. The structure of this DSS parallels the organizational activities involved in running the FMS. In designing a shop floor controller for FMS, interactions between the different real time, discrete event functions must be established. The specification of the machine tool and material handling system functions working as a concurrent and cooperative system is given in terms of Timed Petri Nets. In addition, the basic concepts and uses of Petri Nets are surveyed. The system to be studied is first modelled by a Timed Petri Nets and then procedure for evaluating the FMS system performance are presented. Numerical examples are studied to illustrate a session of the FMS used-DSS interaction.

The autoignition temperature (AIT) of a material is the lowest temperature at which the material will spontaneously ignite. The AIT is important index for the safe handling of flammable liquids which constitute the solvent mixtures. This study measured the AITs of n-hexanol+p-xylene system by using ASTM E659 apparatus. The AITs of n-hexanol and p-xylene system which constituted binary system were $275^{\circ}C$ and $557^{\circ}C$, respectively. The experimental AITs of n-hexanol+p-xylene system system were a good agreement with the calculated AITs by the proposed equations with a few A.A.D.(average absolute deviation).

AGV systems are widely used to increase the flexibility and the efficiency of the material handling systems. AGV systems are one of critical factors which determine the overall performance of the manufacturing systems. To this end, the optimal design for AGV systems is essential. Commercial simulation software is often used as an analysis tool during the design of AGV systems, however a series of procedures are desirable to simplify the analysis processes. In this paper, we present and develop the architecture for unidirectional AGV systems simulator which is able to consider approximate optimal unidirectional flow path and various operational parameters. The designed AGV systems simulator is based on JAVA, and it is developed to support designing approximate optimal unidirectional network by using Tabu search method. In addition, it enables users to design and evaluate AGV systems and to analyze alternative solutions easily. Simulation engine is consists of layout designer, AGV operation plan designer, and integrated AGVS layout designer. Users enter their system design/operation information into input window, then the entered information is automatically utilized for modeling and simulating AGV systems in simulation engine. By this series of procedures, users can get the feed back quickly.

Quality evaluation for food and agricultural products have always been one of the most elusive problems associated with the handling , processing and marketing in a food plant production. In order to detect physical foreign materials in food and agricultural products, non-destructive techniques have been developed for many years. Application of X-ray system to detect physical foreign materials in food and agricultural products could be considered to be a high potential method. Especially , it is impossible to detect internal physical foreign materials by visual inspections. In this study, it was tried to be applied for two different X-ray devices. Soft X-ray system with CdTe sensor and X-ray CT scanner were evaluated for advantage of the detection of non-meltallic foreign materials in food and agricultural products . Though the soft X-ray is not a high energy radiation, it is possible to detect small different density in a material. The CdTe sensor has a high resolution for t e soft X-ray energy region. The density characteristics of foods and foreign material were expressed region. The density characteristics of foods and foreign materials were expressed as a soft X-ray energy spectrum. The energy spectrum was analyzed by a personal computer with a multi-channel analyzer. X-ray CT scanner can provide visual image and analyze by three dimensional information inside food and agricultural products. The X-ray CT scanner using as a medical equipment was used to detect a foreign material. The density characteristics of food and foreign materials in food were tried to be detected by the threshold value on the basis of the CT numbers. The soft X-ray absorption characteristics for acrylin plates and distilled water were obtained and could be found the possibility of detecting a small physical foreign materials such as a plastic wrapping film , a stone and grasshopper in food and agricultural products.
