In comparison with thermosetting rubber, thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) has various advantages such as simple processing, short cycle time and recycling of scrap. These advantages can lead to development of the high value-added rubber products due to reduction of the waste material, manufacturing cost and the defected product. This article involves a dynamic vulcanization method for EPDM/polypropylene blend, and the manufacturing of a fixed glass weather-strip by glass insert molding method using the blend. In order to investigate mechanical properties of the product, tensile strength, elongation, hardness and specific gravity were measured. Also morphological study was carried out using SEM. Developments of an efficient system of production and automatic process by molding of TPE and glass simultaneously are expected.

Self-piercing rivet is sheet joining method. It is being used more to join aluminum alloy sheets. Self-piercing riveting is a large-deformation process that involves piercing. The self-piercing rivet, under the press from the punch, pierces the top sheet and forms a mechanical interlock with the bottom sheet. In this study, forging process was designed for manufacturing self-piercing rivet. The forging process has been simulated by using commercial FEM code DEFORM-2D. In simulation of forging process for manufacturing rivet, process sequence, formability, forging load, and distributions of stress and strain were investigated. The suitable forging process could be designed by comparisons of simulation results. The developed process consists of four stages: upsetting, first chamfering, back extrusion, and second chamfering. The simulated results for forging process were confirmed by experimental trials with the same conditions.

Pipe rolling process using the planetary rolling mill for AISI 304 stainless steel has been studied by using finite element method. Mannesmann method using three-roll is applied to this rolling process. Commonly, rolling process has started from the cold working and finished to the hot working. This rolling process has more advantage that make reduction of process and cost than existing extrusion process. This process includes various and complex process parameters. Each of the process parameters affects forming result. Therefore, all of the process parameters should be considered in FEA. In this study, possibility and productivity of forming pipe for AISI 304 stainless steel had been investigated. Also, preheating process and variations of rotation velocity and product thickness were considered in FEA. Rolling process for AISI 304 stainless steel pipe was successfully simulated and it should be useful to determine optimal rolling condition.

Extrusion with enzyme treatment improved processing characteristics and physiological activity of whole grains, strongly suggesting industrial potential of whole grains for production of cereal-based functional foods containing activated nutraceuticals. Physicochemical properties of whole grains prepared by extrusion were characterized in terms of vitamin, mineral, and resistant starch contents, gelatinization, and digestibility in comparison with those of raw and roasted grains. Extrusion increased grain gelatinization, with degree of gelatinization in extruded barley being seven times higher than that of raw barley. Extrusion improved digestibility of whole grains in comparison with those of raw and roasted grains. Dispersibility of starch was improved through extrusion, while content of resistant starch decreased. Release of ${\beta}-sitosterol$ present in whole grains increased 13-fold when both extrusion and enzyme treatment were used.

Injection molding is one of the widely used polymer processing operations. It is being used for not only conventional injection molding but gas injection molding, water injection molding, and injection compression molding. Injection compression molding involves injection and compression operation, and it gives uniform physical property and high dimensional quality of product. In this study, injection compression characteristics for various product shapes have been investigated by computer simulation. Product containing side wall showed not much effective in injection compression molding since wall thickness direction was perpendicular to the compression direction. Uniform and low shrinkage was observed in injection compression molding comparing conventional injection molding. Subsequently injection compression molding can be used for molding precise product. Optimal injection compression molding condition was obtained using design of experiment for plastic lens and the results were compared with conventional injection molding.

Flexible die is more efficacious than fixed die which is generally used in stretch forming process in view of production cost. Accordingly, in order to verily the validity of the flexible forming process, curved thin skin structure forming analyses using the fixed and flexible die were performed. As results, merit and demerit with regard to the fixed and flexible die were confirmed. The result of the stretch forming process analysis using the flexible die was better than that using the fixed die in view of the elastic recovery. However wrinkles were occurred on the sheet material due to die cavities between the punches in the flexible forming process, thus the solutions against these problems were presented.

Ex-AUC 공정으로 제조된 $UO_2$ 분말에 대하여 ball-milling 시간 (0-4 시간)에 따른 분말의 특성변화 그리고 성형성(성형압력 구간 : 200~400 MPa)을 조사하였다. ex-AUC $UO_2$ 분말에서는 그 입자크기가 비교적 커서 (평균 입자크기 : 28$\mu\textrm{m}$) ball-milling 의 효과가 크게 나타났다. Ball-mill 에 의한 분말입자의 미세화효과는 1 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 보다 큰 크기를 갖는 분말입자에서 주로 나타났다. 또한 ball-milling 에 의해 최대로 감소될 수 있는 분말입자 크기는 약 0.5$\mu\textrm{m}$로 나타났다. Ball-milling 시간에 따라 분말입자 크기는 감소하였으며, 동일한 성형조건하에서 ball-milling 처리된 분말의 성형밀도는 원료분말의 것에 비하여 증가하였다. 이것은 ball-milling 처리에 의해 미분쇄된 분말입자에 기인되는 것으로 나타났다.
