Natural fiber/phenolic biocomposites with chopped henequen fibers treated at various levels of electron beam irradiation (EBI) were made by means of a matched-die compression molding method. The interfacial property was explored in terms of interfacial shear strength measured by a single fiber microbonding test. The thermal properties were studied in terms of storage modulus, tan ${\delta}$, thermal expansion and thermal stability measured by dynamic mechanical analysis, thermomechanical analysis and thermogravimetric analysis, respectively. The result showed that the interfacial and thermal properties depend on the treatment level of EBI done to the henequen fiber surfaces. The present result also demonstrates that 10 kGy EBI is most preferable to physically modify the henequen fiber surfaces and then to improve the interfacial property of the biocomposite, supporting earlier results studied with henequen/poly (butylene succinate) and henequen/unsaturated polyester biocomposites.

PCR(Polymerase chain reaction) is a technique to replicate and amplify a desired part of DNA. It is used in various aspects such as DNA fingerprint analysis and rare DNA amplification of an extinct animal. Especially in the medical diagnosis field, it provides various measurement methods at the molecular level such as genetic diagnosis, and is a basic tool for molecular diagnostics. The internal shape of the plastic vial tube for PCR analysis used in the DNA detection process, and the surface roughness and internal cleanliness can affect detection and discrimination results. The plastic vial tube demanded by the developer of the PCR analysis equipment should be changed to a structure that eliminates the residual washing solution in the washing process to ensure the internal cleanliness. Thus the internal structure and the internal surface design for improving the PCR amplification efficiency are key issues to develop the plastic vial tube for the DNA detection process.

In this study, the optimum design of mold feed systems is determined for plug cover housing (PCH), which is a cover-assembly product that protects the wiring of automobile connectors. The design goal is to achieve the filling balance of the resin in the left and right covers while avoiding the occurrence of weld lines in the hinge as much as possible. For the optimization, an orthogonal array experiment and a main effect analysis of the design factors are performed, and the factors that cause the interactions with the two design characteristics are selected as the design variables. We present some design alternatives, i.e., some combinations of the design variables, and analyze the filling-simulation results, expected molding risk, and cost economics to select an optimum design solution among the design alternatives. In the optimal solution, the weld line is generated at a position outside the hinge, and the filling balance is also acceptable, showing that both design goals can be satisfied simultaneously despite conflicting with each other.

As plastic injection mold parts is suitable system mass production making mold. So thick steering wheel parts is desirable to carry out gas injection molding. Gas injection mold is skill to inject nitrogen gas postfilling melting raw material into mold. Gas injection mold have many advantage like retrenchment of material cost, upgrading the guality. etc. It was decided gate position to minimize warpage of parts analysis injection mold process using mold flow software and incase doing gas injection mold using normal p.p material. it occur big warpage. so it is object minimizing warpage of injection parts to change p.p material containing mineral 18% and removing fingering phenomenon trouble as changing gate position. Also in case carrying out gas injection mold, I did comparison and analysis to grasp shape flow in gas setting a standard gate after flowing in raw material. Through this study, I found out changing of thickness by parts shape and it can occur warpage of parts by plastic material even though it carry out gas injection mold and it had a direct influence on trouble of parts by gate position.

In this study, in order to apply ultra-high-strength concrete beams of 100 MPa or more manufactured by centrifugal molding as the superstructure of the avalanche tunnel, the purpose is to verify the structural safety of the corner rigid joint in which the centrifugal molded beam is integrated with the substructure, which is the negative moment area. A full-size specimen was manufactured, and loading tests and analysis studies were performed. In order to expect the same effect that the maximum moment occurs in the corner joint part of the upper slab end when the standard model of the avalanche tunnel is designed with a load combination according to the specification, a modified cantilever type structural model specimen was manufactured and the corner rigid joint was fixedly connected. A study was performed to determine the performance of the method and the optimal connection construction method. The test results demonstrated that the proposed connection system outperforms others. Despite having differences in joint connection construction type, stable flexural behavior was shown in all the tested specimens. The proposed method also outperformed the behavior of centrifugally formed beams and upper slabs. The behavior of the corner rigid joint analysis model according to the F.E. analysis showed slightly greater stiffness compared to the results of the experiment, but the overall behavior was almost similar. Therefore, there is no structural problem in the construction of the corner rigid joint between the centrifugally formed beam and the wall developed in this study.

In this study, a newly modified soil nailing technology called as the NDB(New Down and Board) soil nailing system is introduced. To improve the trafficability, workability, and economical efficiency, SMC(Sheet Molding Compound) board is adopted instead of using the concrete block facing. The SMC board has a distinct advantage of showing a fine view by directly coating with any kind of environmental photos. Composite material properties of the SMC board and cement grout are distinguished features of the NDB soil nailing system. In the present study, both laboratory tests(bending and punching failure tests) and field pull-out tests are carried out to analyze the behavior characteristics of the NDB soil nailing system, including the stress and strain distribution.

A Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope (CLSM) is applied to determine three-dimensional fiber orientation states in injection-molded short fiber composites. Since the CLSM optically sections the composites, more than two planes either on or below the surface of composites can be obtained. Therefore, three dimensional fiber orientation states are determined without destruction. To predict the orientation states, velocity and temperature fields are calculated by using a hybrid FEM/FDM method. The change of orientation state during packing stage is also considered by employing a compressible Hele-Shaw model. The predicted orientation states show good agreement with measured ones. However, some differences are found at the end of cavity. They may result from other effects, which are not considered in the numerical analysis.

PFP성형기술은 사출성형시 수지를 금형내에 환전히 채운후 저압의 공기를 이용하여 기포를 발생시켜 수지의 체적수축분을 기포의 성장에 의해 보상해주는 기술이다. 이방법은 일반 사출성형에서 많이 발생하는 싱크마크나 휨과 같은 변형문제를 해결하여 줄수 있으며 높은 압력을 필요로하지 않는다는 잇점을 가지고 있으나 이러한 최신공정에 대한 체계적인 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 최근에 제시된 PFP성형공정의 모델링은 기포의 성장이 수지의 체 적수축에 의한 것이라는 가정을 근거로 기포핵이 생성된 이후의 기포성장을 모사하였으며 모델링에 해석결과는 몇가지 가정에도 불구하고 실험결과를 잘 설명하였다. 본 연구에서는 모델링이 가지는 문제점을 분석하고 기포성장의 메카니즘을 보다 체계적으로 이해하기 위하 여 실험적인 방법을 적용하였다. 많은 인자들을 효과적으로 고려하기 위하여 실험계획법을 적용하였으며 이를통하여 기포핵의 생성과 기포의 성장에 공기압 등이 매우 중요한 역할을 한다는 사실을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 모델링과 함께 PFP공정에 대한 체계적인 이해 뿐만 아니라 금형설계 및 성형조건의 설정등의 실제적인 문제해결에도 도움이 될것으로 기 대된다.

Light guide plate is one of most important components which are composed of back light unit, affecting the quality and performance of LCD. Average brightness and uniformity are especially key factors for designing the light guide unit. These qualities are affected and controlled by the pattern being attached to the back of light guide unit. In order to obtain high brightness and uniformity the optimized pattern design is adopted for LGP. In this study, optimized molding condition for LGP with 0.4 mm thickness was obtained by using the Moldflow simulation software and the optimized pattern for better brightness uniformity was designed for the thickness of the 0.4 mm by trial and error method. The brightness was measured for the different LGP thicknesses and the residual stress analysis was performed for 0.4 mmthickness by the photoelasticity and the results are compared with 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm thickness.

The surface defects of an aluminum tube for an OPC drum have been analyzed using a scanning microscopy(SEM) and an energy dispersive X-ray analyze.(EDX). The SEM/EDX system, which may provide good information on the surface defects and their distributions, provides an optical diameter of an impurity and a chemical composition. These are strongly related on the coated film thickness and quality of an OPC drum, which is a key element of a toner cartridge for a laser printer. The experimental results show that the local deformations, scratch wear, and flaws are produce the non-uniform coating layers, which may be removed by a manufacturing process of an aluminum tube. The major parameters on the coating quality of an OPC drum are the impurities of an aluminum tube such as silicon, oxygen, calcium, carbon, sulphur, chlorine, and others. These impurities may be removed by an ingot molding, extrusion and drawing, quality control, and packing processes with a strict manufacturing technology.
