This paper proposes a method for improving the process plan quality by use of dimensional tolerances. Dimensioning and tolerancing plays a key role in manufacturing process plan because the final part must ensure conformance with the dimensions and tolerances in its drawing. As a first step for the improvement of process plan quality, two resultant tolerances in design and process plan should be compared each other, and so a tolerance chart is used for acquisition and comparison of the two tolerances. In addition to two kinds of design and manufacturing tolerances, operational sequences or paths for the resultant dimension and tolerance are additionally recognized for measuring the quality of process plan quantitatively. Rooted tree is applied to find the related paths for the manufacturing resultant tolerances. A quality coefficient is defined by the components of two tolerances and their relations, the paths related to manufacturing resultant tolerances and the difficulty of an operation. In order to improve the quality of manufacturing process plan, the paths that two kinds of tolerances are the same or different in the rooted tree are recognized respectively and a method for tolerance rearrangement is developed. A procedure for improving the quality is suggested by combining the coefficient and the tolerance rearrangement method. A case study is applied to illustrate the efficiency of improvement method.

The history of finding solutions of linear equations went back to some thousand years ago, and has been steadily developed to solve systems of higher degree polynomials. The method to eliminate variables came into use around the 17th and 18th century. This technique has been extended to the resultant theory that was laid in the 19th century by outstanding mathematicians as Euler, Sylvester, and B$\acute{e}$zout. In this paper we discuss the historical reflection about the development of solving system of polynomials. We add a special emphasis on E. B$\acute{e}$zout who gave the first account on the resultant which is a generalization of discriminant and Gauss elimination method.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of gender (male, female) and grip spans (45, 50, 60, 70, 80mm) on total grip strength, resultant force, finger force and subjective discomfort rating. Background: In order to prevent musculoskeletal disorders, studies of hand tools need to be preceded based on grip strength, finger force, and subjective discomfort rating. However, experimental apparatus using tools such as pliers that reflect the actual work place was almost non-existent. Method: Fifty-Two (26 males and 26 females) participants were recruited from the student population. In this study, a pair of revised pliers, which can change grip span from 45 to 80mm was applied to estimate total grip strength, resultant force and individual finger forces. All participants were asked to exert a maximum grip force with three repetitions, and to report the subjective discomfort rating for five grip spans of pliers (45, 50, 60, 70, 80mm). Results: There were significant differences of total grip strength, resultant force, individual finger forces and subjective discomfort rating according to grip span. The lowest total grip strength was obtained from the grip span of 80mm for both genders. For resultant force, the highest resultant force was exerted at grip spans of 50, 60 and 70mm for females and 50 and 60mm for males. The lowest subjective discomfort rating was observed in the 50mm for both genders. Conclusion: Based on the result, 50mm and 60mm grip spans which provide the highest force and lowest discomfort rating might be recommendable for the male and female pliers users. Application: The findings of this study can provide guidelines on designing a hand tool to help to reduce hand-related musculoskeletal disorders and obtain better performance.

In order to control the microstructure of amorphous/crystalline composites, gas atomized $Cu_{54}Ni_{6}Zr_{22}Ti_{18}$ metallic glass powders wrapped in a crystalline brass were extruded repeatedly. The size of microstructure in the resultant composites was varied depending on the pass of extrusion as well as on the area reduction ratio. The microstructure could be estimated using an equation of $r_n=r_{n-1}/R^{1/2}$, where R is reduction ratio and $r_n$ is the resultant radius of the extruded bar after n pass. Theory of microstructural refinement as well as the relationship between the resultant microstructures and mechanical properties was discussed.

It is the basic requirement of design process of parts assembly to specify geometric dimensions and tolerances of product characteristics. Among them, tolerance stack analysis is one of the important methods to specify tolerance zone. Tolerance stack analysis is to calculate gap using tolerances which includes geometric and coordinate dimensions. In this study, we suggested more general method called the virtual method to analyze tolerance stack. In virtual method, tolerance zone is formed by combination of dimensional tolerance, geometric tolerance and bonus tolerance. Also tolerance zone is classified by virtual boundary condition and resultant boundary condition. So gap can be defined by combination of virtual boundary and/or resultant boundary. Several examples are used to show the effectiveness of new method comparing to other methods.

In order to, simultaneously, synthesize and control the size of microstructure of amorphous/crystalline composites, a repeated extrusion process was performed using the gas atomized $Cu_{54}Ni_6Zr_{22}Ti_{18}$ metallic glass powders and the crystalline brasses. The size of microstructure in the resultant composites was varied depending on the pass of extrusion as well as on the area reduction ratio. The microstructure could be estimated using an equation of $r_n=r_{n-1}/R^{1/2}$, where R is reduction ratio and $r_n$ is the resultant radius of the extruded bar after n pass. Theory of microstructural refinement as well as the relationship between the resultant microstructures and mechanical properties was discussed.

This paper concerns the development and implementation of an orthotropic, stress resultant elasto-plastic finite element model for the collapse load analysis of reinforced concrete plates. The model implements yield line plasticity theory for reinforced concrete. The behaviour of the yield functions are studied, and modifications introduced to ensure a robust finite element model of cases involving bending and twisting stress resultants ($M_x$, $M_y$, $M_{xy}$). Onset of plasticity is always governed by the general yield-line-model (YLM), but in some cases a switch to the stress resultant form of the von Mises function is used to ensure the proper evolution of plastic strains. Case studies are presented, involving isotropic and orthotropic plates, to assess the behaviour of the yield line approach. The YLM function is shown to perform extremely well, in predicting both the collapse loads and failure mechanisms.

This paper presents a circuit of resonant voltage resultant type DC/DC converter consists of two unit half-bridge high frequency resonant inverters, and describes operating modes, principle and analysis of the proposed circuit. Also, the analysis of the proposed circuit has generally described by using normalized parameters. Based on the characteristic values, a method of the circuit design is proposed. According to phase shift, the output voltage of the proposed circuit can be controlled. In addition, the justification of theoretical analysis was certified by comparing to the experimental waveforms. In the future, this proposed converter show that it can be practically used as the system of fixed DC voltage source etc.

As it is well appreciated plate forming by line heating takes an important role in ship production process. The paper deals with the development of line heating simulator which can produce the resultant deformation due to line heating in a few minute adn with which user can see the result graphically. For the present purpose mechanical modelling is adopted which can explicitly represent the physical resultant of line heating. In developing the present line heating simulator several program modules are integrated by adopting GUI concept such that the simulator can produce resultant deformation with keeping high accuracy. Application example is illustrated for the twisted shape surface which can be frequently seen in ship and offshore structures.

The purpose of this study was to investigate interjoint and intersegmental coordination of lower segments in skill process. For the investigation, we examined the difference of resultant linear velocity of segments and angle vs angle graph. Novice subjects were 9 male middle school students who have never been experienced a taekwondo. We analyzed kinematic variables of Side Kick motion through videographical analysis. The conclusions were as follows. 1. Examining the graph of novice subjects' maximal resultant linear velocity of the thigh, shank, and foot segment, as it gets closer to the end of the training, the maximal resultant linear velocity in each segment increases which can be assumed to be a result of the effective momentum transfer between adjacent segments. 2 This research showed a sequential transfer from trunk, to thigh, and then to shank as it gets closer to the end of learning at intersegment angular velocity, and it also showed pattern of throwlike motion and pushlike motion. 3. In three dimension of flexion-extension, adduction-abduction and internal-external rotation of the thigh and shank segment, the angle-angle diagram of knee joint and of hip joint showed that dynamic change was indicated at the beginning of learning but stable coordination pattern was indicated like skilled subject as novice subjects became skilled.
