The purpose of this study was to design and construct an ultrasound phantom for volume calibration and evaluate the volume measurement accuracy of a 2 dimensional ultrasonic system. Ultrasound phantom was designed, constructed and tested. The phantom consisted of a background material and a target. The background was made by mixing agarose gel with water. A target, made with an elastic material, was filled with water to vary its volume and shape and inserted into background material. To evaluate accuracy of a 2 dimensional ultrasonic system (128XP, ACUSON), three different shapes of targets (a sphere, 2 ellipsoids and a triangular prism) were constructed. In case of ellipsoid shape, two targets, one with same size length and width (ellipsoid 1) and another with the length 2 times longer than width (ellipsoid 2) were examined. The target volumes of each shape were varied from 94cc to 450cc and measurement accuracy was examined. The volume difference between the real and measured target of the sphere shape ranged between 6.7 and 11%. For the ellipsoid targets, the differences ranged from 9.2 to 10.5% with ellipsoid 1 and 25.7% with ellipsoid 2. The volume difference of the triangular prism target ranged between 20.8 and 35%. An easy and simple method of constructing an ultrasound phantom was introduced and it was possible to check the volume measurement accuracy of an ultrasound system.

Behaviors of cemented engineered soils, composed of rigid sand particle and soft rubber particle, are investigated under $K_o$ condition. The uncemented and cemented specimens are prepared with various sand volume fractions to estimate the effect of the cementation in mixtures. The vertical deformation and elastic wave velocities with vertical stress are measured. The bender elements and PZT sensors are used to measure elastic wave velocities. After cementation, the slope of vertical strain shows bilinear and is similar to that of uncemented specimen after decementation. Normalized vertical strains can be divided into capillary force, cementation, and decementation region. The first deflection of the shear wave in near field matches the first arrival of the primary wave. The elastic wave velocities dramatically increase due to cementation hardening under the fixed vertical stress, and are almost identical with additional stress. After decementation, the elastic wave velocities increase with increase in the vertical stress. The effect of cementation hinders the typical rubber-like, sand-like, and transition behaviors observed in uncemented specimens. Different mechanism can be expected in decementation of the rigid-soft particle mixtures due to the sand fraction. a shape change of individual particles in low sand fraction specimens; a fabric change between particles in high sand fraction specimens. This study suggests that behaviors of cemented engineered soils, composed of rigid-soft particles, are distinguished due to the cementation and decementation from those of uncemented specimens.

The characteristics of Backsulgi were studied by digital image analysis using CrumScan software. Among many other processing parameters for Backsulgi production, sifting method and levels are important factors for product quality. Traditional and mechanical sifting methods showed a reduction in volume and weight due to air intake during the mixing process. Traditional hand sifting for one time resulted in flour saving for an equal volume of Backsulgi. While mechanical sifting has the advantage of efficiency, the particle fineness shows greater variation than achieved by hand sifting. When using mechanical sifting, hand sifting should be used at least once to improve the product quality such as crumb fineness and product, weight.

Uranium silicide는 우수한 조사안정성을 가지는 유망한 연구로용 저농축 분산형 핵연료 소재이나 상대적으로 낮은 uranium 함량으로 인해 고출력에 필요한 8~9g-U/㎤ 정도의 uranium 충진 밀도를 얻기 위해서는 Al기지내에 uranium silicide 핵연료 입자의 부피분율을 높여주는 것이 필요하다 핵연료 입자의 부피분율을 높이기 위하여는 핵연료봉의 Al 기지내에 핵연료 입자가 균일하게 분포되어야 한다. 균질한 핵연료 심재를 제조하기 위해서는 핵연료 입자와 알루미늄과의 균일한 혼합이 중요하며 이러한 혼합체내의 분말에 대한 균질도를 정확히 평가하는 방법의 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 혼합분말의 충진시 겉보기 밀도 측정을 통한 조성의 표준편차를 구하는 방법과 X-ray image 분석법을 새로운 균질도 평가방법으로 제시하였다. 구형의 U$_3$Si분말과 Al분말의 혼합시 drum 회전법의 경우에는 밀도차에 의한 segregation이 발생되고 있으나, Spex mill 혼합법의 경우에는 균질도가 향상되었다. 45-150$\mu\textrm{m}$의 분말크기 분포를 갖는 구형 U$_3$Si의 경우가 작은 입자들이 큰 입자들 사이를 효과적으로 채울 수 있기 때문으로 균일한 분포를 갖는 것으로 생각되며, 밀도차가 큰 U$_3$Si의 경우는 밀도차가 작은 구형 Cu-Sn 혼합체에 비해 균질도가 저하됨을 확인하였다. 겉보기 밀도 측정에 의한 균질도 측정평가와 X-ray image 분석법과의 관계에서는 같은 경향성을 찾을 수 있었다.

In this study, an elastomer-assistered compression molding process was investigated by experiments as well as modeling for the long-fiber reinforced thermoset composites. The consolidation pressure generated by fixed-volume and variable-volume conditions was thermodynamically derived for both elastomer and curing prepregs, and was compared with the pressure measured during curing of epoxy matrix. Exhibiting non-linear viscoelastic characteristics in the compressive stress-strain tests, the measured stress was well compared with a modifed KWW (Kohlrausch-Williame-Watts) equation, which is based on the Maxwell viscoelastic model. Using the developed model equations, the consolidation pressure generated by the elastomer was successfully predicted for the compression molding process of thermoset composite materials in tile closed mold system.

고사리(Pteridium aquilinum)는 참고사리과에 속하는 다년생 양치식물로서 온대지방과 열대지방에 널리 분포되어 있으며 이른봄부터 늦가을까지 산야에 생육되며 북극 남아프리카 지역을 제외한 전세계에 광범위하게 자생하고 있다. 고사리는 봄철에 어린싹을 삶아 물에 담구었다가 먹거나 건조시켜 저장해서 이용하는데 현재 유통되고 있는 건고사리는 수확, 건조 및 저장 중에 비위생적인 관리 등에 의해 미생물의 증식 및 해충의 발생 등으로 품질이 크게 저하되어 저장상 많은 어려움을 안고 있다. 방사선에 의한 식품 저장은 이미 그 건전성과 경제적 타당성이 인정되어 세계 여러나라에서 실용화되고 있으며 특히 건조 채소류의 살균, 살충을 위한 방사선의 이용은 제품의 재수화성을 증가시킨다는 보고도 있다. 따라서, 본 실험에서는 국내에서 소비량이 비교적 많은 건고사리에 Co-60 감마선을 조사하여 건고사리 조리전 필수 조리조작인 불림조작 조건에 따른 복원력 및 물리적 특성을 분석하였다. 건고사리에 조사선량을 0, 3, 5, 7kGy로 달리 하여 조사하였고 침지온도, 침지 시간에 따른 수분함량, 부피, 수화 복원력, 색상, 조직감을 측정하였다. 실험결과, 조사선량이 높을수록 부피 증가율, 수화 복원력은 대조구에 비해 유의적으로 증가하였다. 조직감 중 경도는 침지온도, 시간 및 조사선량이 증가할수록 감소하여, 건고사리를 불리기 위해 드는 시간이 단축되어 에너지 절감의 효과가 있는 것으로 파악되었다.

To investigate the possibility of making noodle with Chestnuts flour(C.F), it was mixed with wheat flour by the ratio of 70%. Making characteristics of noodle was studied in terms of the viscosity property, cooking quality test, color measurement and sensory evaluation. The viscosity property of noodles with 10~20% C.F was almost same value as control. In the cooking quality test, noodles with 10~30% C.F was almost same value as control in weight, volume and absorbance of cooked noodle. Color difference($\Delta$E) between noodles with C.F was not significantly different from control in color, only noodle with 10% C.F was same as control in texture by sensory evaluation test. Based on the cooking and sensory evaluation test, addition of 30% C.F to wheat flour may be suitable for making noodle.

Quality characteristics of bread added with water homogenate of citrus peel powder(WHCP, 1~5% of wheat flour) were investigated. The pH, the volume of dough, and the loaf volume index of bread added with WHCP were lower than those of the control. The contents of total carotenoids, hesperidin and naringin in the bread with 3% of WHCP were 0.14, 38.4 and 25.3 mg%, respectively. The bread with WHCP(3%) showed comparable cohesiveness and springiness, but higher hardness than the control product. The bread with WHCP(3%) showed the best quality evaluated by color and overall acceptability, taste, flavor and texture.

Effect of barley bran flour on bread quality was investigated. With addition of barley bran flour, crude protein and ash contents of bread increased, and color of crumb and crust became darker than control group made with pure wheat flour. Content of dietary fiber in bread made with 5% barley bran flour was twofold higher than control group. Hardness of breads increased and volume decreased in proportion to bran content. Sensory qualities of 5% barley bran flour-added group and control group were not significantly different, but decreased in 10 and 15% barley bran flour-added groups, revealing optimal content of barley bran flour to be 5%.
