In this study, viscoplastic material properties of solder alloy which is used in the electronics packages are inversely estimated. A specimen is fabricated to this end, and an experiment is conducted to examine deformation by Moir$\acute{e}$ interferometry. As a result of the experiment, bending displacement of the specimen and shear strain of the solder are obtained. A viscoplastic finite element analysis procedure is established, and the material parameters are determined to match closely with the experiments. The uncertainties which include inherent experimental error and insufficient data of experiments are addressed by using the method of computer model calibration. As a result, material parameters are identified in the form of confidence interval, and the displacements and strains using these parameters are predicted in the form the prediction interval.

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) cable has good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. However, the anchorage of CFRP cable is a big issue due to the anisotropic property of CFRP material. In this article, a high-efficient bonding anchorage with novel configuration is developed for CFRP cables. The acoustic emission (AE) technique is employed to evaluate the performance of anchorage in the fatigue test and post-fatigue ultimate bearing capacity test. The obtained AE signals are analyzed by using a combination of unsupervised K-means clustering and supervised K-nearest neighbor classification (K-NN) for quantifying the performance of the anchorage and damage evolutions. An AE feature vector (including both frequency and energy characteristics of AE signal) for clustering analysis is proposed and the under-sampling approaches are employed to regress the influence of the imbalanced classes distribution in AE dataset for improving clustering quality. The results indicate that four classes exist in AE dataset, which correspond to the shear deformation of potting compound, matrix cracking, fiber-matrix debonding and fiber fracture in CFRP bars. The AE intensity released by the deformation of potting compound is very slight during the whole loading process and no obvious premature damage observed in CFRP bars aroused by anchorage effect at relative low stress level, indicating the anchorage configuration in this study is reliable.

Unidirectional carbon/carbon (C/C) composites were manufactured using phenolic resins as a precursor of the carbonized matrix throughout a one-step manufacturing process. Also, molybdenum oxide ($MoO_3$) and binder pitches were impregnated with phenolic resins to improve the bulk density and mechanical property of the C/C composites. In this study, the influence of $MoO_3$ and binder pitches on mechanical properties of the C/C composites were investigated by measuring flexural strength (${\sigma}_f$) and interlaminar shear strength (ILSS). The results show that the enhancement of interfacial adhesions between the fibers and matrix resins of the C/C composites with $MoO_3$ and binder pitches which led to the improvement of mechanical properties of the C/C composites. This indicates that the presence of $MoO_3$ and binder pitches in C/C composites can develop the graphite structure and increase the bulk density.

The aim of this study is to plan a design that satisfies consumer needs by forecasting future properties following changes of gauge in basic Jacquard structure and to provide helpful data for a variety of knit-wear development. Four basic Jacquard knit samples (Normal Jacquard, Bird's eye Jacquard, Floating Jacquard, Tubular Jacquard) were selected and projected by using three types of gauges (7G, 12G, 14G) with an SES-122S type Computer Knitting machine of Shimaseiki MFG. Twelve different types of samples with Jacquards and gauges were tested on a flat table by measuring the course and wale in a 1cm area to calculate the gauge of samples. The mechanical properties of 12 types of Jacquard samples were measured using KES-FB (Kawabata Evaluation System for Fabric, Kata Tech Co. Ltd). As the result of comparing the number of patterns, courses and wales depending on the change of gauge of the basic Jacquard structure, it was observed that the number of patterns per specific length, course and wale has increased from 7G to 14G, a high-gauge. According to objective research regarding Jacquard structure, 7G Tubular Jacquard, which is low gauge, seems to be suitable for masculine design as it is heavy and thick, and has rigid and rough texture due to a high level of flexural strength and shear property. 14G Floating Jacquard, which is high gauge, seems to be suitable for feminine, silhouette design as it is light, thin, soft, flexible and has high drape. The result of this study provides a theoretical foundation for knit-wear development considering basic Jacquard structure and gauge-specific properties. This study can be used to provided directions for the development of knit industry.

Microstructure evolution and tensile properties of Al-8mass%Mg alloy casting billet by biaxial alternative forging were investigated in this study. An alternative forging system tailored in this study was used to allow continuous strain accumulations on the alloy workpiece. A finite element (FE) simulation results revealed that the strain was mainly concentrated in the core and that the shear bands developed into a form with an X shape in the cross-section of workpiece after the alternative forging using octangular rod shaped dies. With increasing the forging passes, it was observed that the Al-8mass%Mg alloy workpieces were significantly deformed, and cracks began to form and propagate on the both ends of the forged workpieces after five passes at room temperature. In as-forged microstructures taken by microscopes, twins, clustering of dislocations, and fine subgrains were found. Tensile strengths of the forged specimens showed significant increases depending on the number of forging passes, and a trade-off relationship was observed between the elongation and strength. At room temperature and 100℃ the workpieces showed similar behaviors in microstructural evolution and tensile properties depending on forging passes, while the increase range in strength was reduced at 200℃.

The soil improvement method so far has been developed with an emphasis on enhancing the strength of the ground. A soil improvement method using a excellent cementitious stabilizer in economical efficiency and handling property is mainly used. The soil improvement method using cementitious stabilizer is effective but environmental and human harmful substances are detected and environmental problems such as carbon dioxide emission and groundwater pollution are pointed out. Therefore, as part of an alternative method capable of solving such problems, researches on the soil improvement method incorporating biological technology are being actively carried out. This study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of strength change when mixed with environmentally friendly soil binder and microorganism in clay, and it was analyzed by uniaxial compression test, direct shear test, SEM, XRD. As a results of the test, we confirmed the cementation caused by microbially induced calcite precipitation and the strength increase enhancement by it.

This research was conducted to provide basic data to improve expressivity required for virtual clothing to replace actual clothing. For the experiment, 6 materials were selected and 12(2 kinds of length) actual flared skirts were made. At the same time, simulations were carried out on OptiTex Runway 12.0 for 36(12 kinds of skirts $\times$ KES, FTU, KES weight/10) kinds of virtual flared skirts, which were applied with the measured property values (thickness, weight, bending, shear, friction, and stretch). Also, the study compared and analyzed the wearing images, silhouette overlapping images, and skirt length measurements of the actual and virtual skirts put on a dummy. As a result, the actual skirts showed clear distinction for each material. In contrast, virtual 1 and 2 expressed fabric 3 in the most similar way, but could not recreate the uniform, soft, and natural flare shape of the actual skirts in general. Virtual 3 formed natural flares as those of the actual skirts, and expressed fabric 1, 5, and 6 in a similar way. However, virtual 3 had too much volume and barely showed any distinction for each material. All of virtual 1, 2, and 3 expressed different flare shapes on the front and back sides of the skirt similarly to the actual skirts, and had a good visual expression for the color and texture of the materials. However, they could not effectively express the elasticity and fabric sagging in the bias direction.

This study investigated the quality change in dry aged beef cattle loins (temperature: $3{\pm}1$, lative humidity: $75{\pm}5%$, period: 14 days), compared to non-aged beef cattle loins (control). The water content of dry aged loins was lower than that of the control (p<0.001). The fat content, protein content, pH value, and redness in dry aged loins were higher than in the control. Moreover, dry aging significantly improved the water holding capacity and cooking yield of beef cattle loin (p<0.001). The shear force of dry aged loins was significantly lower than in the control (p<0.01). The flavor, tenderness, juiciness, and overall acceptability of dry aged loins were higher than in the control according to sensory evaluation. Therefore, dry aging can improve the quality properties of beef cattle loins.

Soft tissue defect on heel area of the foot present difficult problems particularly because of anatomic property of plantar surface of the foot. There is a paucity of available local tissue in the foot for coverage. In addition to having little expandable tissue, the foot's plantar surface has a unique structure, making its replacement especially challenging. Plantar skin is attached to the underlying bone by fibrous septa, preventing shear of the soft-tissue surfaces from the underlying skeleton. Plantar surface of foot is in constant contact with the environment. Protective sensibility also would be maintained or restored in the ideal reconstruction. So the ideal flap for reconstruction of the heel should include thin, durable hairless skin with potential for reinnervation. The aim of this article is to present a clinical experience of free lateral arm neurosensory flap for reconstruction of the heel. From March 1995 to December 1997, a total 16 lateral arm free flaps were performed to soft tissue defects on the weight-bearing area of the hindfoot. we used tibial nerve as recepient nerve in 11 and calcaneal branch of tibial nerve in 5 for restoration of sensibility of flap. All cases survived completely. A static two-point discrimination of 14 to 34mm was detected in the flap. Radial nerve palsy which was caused by hematoma in donor site occured in one case, but recorverd in 3 weeks later completely. In conclusion, the lateral arm free flaps are versatile, reliable and sensible cutaneous flap and especially indicated for soft tissue defect on plantar surface of the hindfoot which are not good indications for other better-known flaps.
