Fire characteristics can be analyzed more realistically by using more accurate material properties related to the fire dynamics and one way to acquire these fire properties is to use one of the inverse property analyses. In this study the genetic algorithm which is frequently applied for the inverse heat transfer problems is selected to demonstrate the procedure of obtaining fire properties of the solid charring material with relatively simple chemical structure. The thermal decomposition on the surface of the test plate is occurred by receiving the radiative energy from external heat sources, and in this process the heat transfer through the test plate can be simplified by an unsteady 1-D problem. The inverse property analysis based on the genetic algorithm is then applied for the estimation of the properties related to the reaction pyrolysis. The input parameters for the analysis are the surface temperature and mass loss rate of the char plate which are determined from the unsteady 1-D analysis with a givenset of 8 properties. The estimated properties using the inverse analysis based on the genetic algorithm show acceptable agreements with the input properties used to obtain the surface temperature and mass loss rate with errors between 1.8% for the specific heat of the virgin material and 151% for the specific heat of the charred material.

This paper is a study on the evaluation of loss factor of damping treatment materials to reduce the noise and vibration for panels of railway vehicles and automobiles. In order to determine the modal parameters of damping materials, beam excitation tests were carried out using different type PVC coated aluminum and steel base beam specimens. The specimens were excited from 10 Hz to 1000 Hz frequency range using sinusoidal force, and transfer mobility data were measured by using an accelerometer. The loss factors were determined by using integrated program, based on theories of Half Power Method, Minimum Tangent Error Method, Minimum Angle Error Method and Phase Change Method, which enable to evaluate the parameters using modal circle fit and least squares error method. In the case of lower loss factor and data of linear characteristics, any method could be applied for evaluation of parameters, however the case of higher loss factor or data including non-linear characteristics, the minimum angle error method could reduce the loss factor evaluation. The obtained dynamic properties of the coating material could be used for application of Finite Element Method analyzing the noise control effects of complex structures such as carbody or under-floor boxes of rolling stock. The damping material will be very useful to control the structural noise, because the obtained modal loss factors of each mode show very good effect on over $2^{nd}$ mode frequency range.

Flame height calculation in a forest fire is a crucial part of predicting horizontal or vertical flame spread flared by radiation heat transfer. Flame height, which is one of the flame characteristics, can be estimated by the average height of luminous flame. This research relied on flame height observation test on P. densiflora surface fuel bed, which are surface combustibles in a forest, and calorimeter to measure Heat Release Rate, thus produced $H_f=0.027(\dot{Q'})^{2/3}$, flame height calculation equation for surface fuel. The research did not take into consideration such conditions as external velocity, slope and other variables that could affect flame height. According to comparison among experiment results, calculation results of the above formula and those of existing Heskestad formula (1998), it was found that standard error in fallen pine needles between experimental results and calculation results of the above formula amounts to 0.08, whereas standard error in same plant between experimental results and calculation results of existing Heskestad formula amounts to 0.23.

Recently, efficient heat dissipation has become necessary because of the miniaturization of devices, and research on boiling on micro-channels has attracted attention. However, in the case of micro-channels, the friction coefficient and heat transfer characteristics are different from those in macro-channels. This leads to large errors in the micro scale results, when compared to correlations derived from the macro scale. In addition, due to the complexity of the mechanism, the boiling phenomenon in micro-channels cannot be approached only by experimental and theoretical methods. Therefore, numerical methods should be utilized as well, to supplement these methods. However, most numerical studies have been conducted on macro-channels. In this study, we applied the lattice Boltzmann method, proposed as an alternative numerical tool to simulate the boiling phenomenon in the micro-channel, and predicted the bubble growth process in the channel.

The convective heat transfer coefficient, emissivity, and flame heat flux on the surface of Duglas fir are estimated by using repulsive particle swarm optimization. The surface temperature, mass loss rate, and ignition time are measured for various incident heat fluxes from a cone heater of the cone calorimeter. The calculated surface temperatures obtained by using the optimized convective heat transfer coefficient, emissivity and flame heat flux on the surface in this study match well with those obtained from the test. The maximum error between the predicted and measured surface temperatures for the three different external heat fluxes is within 2% showing reasonable agreements. The methodology proposed in this study can be used to obtain various values related to heat transfer on a flaming surface that are difficult to measure in experiments.

포는 대체로 정확도와 최대 발사거리 및 최대 발사속도 등에 의해 그 성능 이 표현된다. 그 중에서도 최대 발사속도는 매우 중요한 인자로서 포의 주퇴 복좌 장치의 성능에 의해 직접적으로 영향을 받게 된다. 따라서 포의 최대 발사속도 향상을 위해서는 주퇴복좌 장치의 동특성 해석 능력을 확보하고, 그로부터 주퇴 장치의 설계 변경이 가능하도록 해야 한다. 한편, 주퇴복좌기 의 주퇴특성은 주퇴시 총주퇴저항력이 전주퇴장에 대해서 거의 일정해야만 포신에 전달되는 힘을 최소로 하면서 주퇴시간을 최소로 할 수 있으며 이러 한 설계 개념으로 주퇴복좌기를 설계한다. 그에 따라 주퇴복좌기는 그 내부 가 가변 오리피스 및 조절 로드로 이루어져 주퇴복좌기의 주퇴 저항력을 주 퇴속도 및 주퇴변위에 따라 변화시키도록 되어 있다. 따라서 주퇴복좌기는 필연적으로 강한 비선형 특성을 나타낸다. 이러한 주퇴복좌기를 모델링할 때 에 기존에는 주퇴복좌기내의 모든 유체역학적 요소를 고려하여 모델링하는 기법이 통용되어왔다. 그러나 이러한 모델링은 각 요소의 모델링 오차가 누 적될 위험이 있으므로 정확한 모델링을 보장할 수 없으며, 매우 복잡한 과정 을 거쳐야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 주퇴 완충기 시뮬레이터를 이용한 실 험에 따른 계의 파라미터 예측을 통하여 모델링하는 기법을 시도하여 보았 다.

The power train of a concrete truck mixer reducer includes differential planetary gears to get a large reduction ratio for operating the mixer drum in a compact structure. These differential planetary gears are a very important part of the mixer reducer where strength problems are the main concern. Gear bending stress, gear compressive stress and scoring failure are the main concerns. Many failures in differential planetary gears are due to the insufficient gear strength and resonance problems caused by major excitation forces such as gear mating failure in the transmission. In the present study, where the excitation frequencies are the gear tooth passing frequencies of the mating gears, a Campbell diagram is used to calculate differential planetary gear critical speeds. Mode shapes and natural frequencies of the differential planetary gears are calculated by CATIA V5. These are used to predict gear resonance failures by comparing the working speed range with the critical speeds due to the gear transmission errors of the differential planetary gears.

Effects of the correlated random fluctuation in each grating half-period have been studied by an effective index transfer matrix method in quarter wavelength shifted DFB lasers. As the correlation coefficient changes from 0 to -1, single mode stability and wavelength accuracy are less degraded by the reduced error in the grating period. This fact shows that holographic grating fabrication is better than electron-beam lithography in discrete device fabrication provided that the magnitude of the random fluctuation is the same.

A new analytical VLSI interconnect delay model is presented and its accuracy is experimentally verified. In the model, the transmission line parameter variations due to skin effect, proximity effect, and silicon substrate effect are taken into account. That is, the circuit model of the interconnect line that includes these effects is newly developed and analyzed. For the model verification, test patterns combined the coplanar structure with microstrip were designed by using 0.35${\mu}m$ CMOS process technology. It is shown that the accuracy of the model is less than about 10% error.

A rubber bushing connects the components of the vehicle each other and reduce the vibration transmitted to the chassis frame. A rubber bushing has the nonlinear characteristics for both the amplitude and the frequency and represents the hysteretic responses under the periodic excitation. In this paper, one-axis durability test is performed to describe the mechanical behavior of typical vehicle elastomeric components. The results of the tests are used to develop m empirical bushing model with an artificial neural network. The back propagation algerian is used to obtain the weighting factor of the neural network. A numerical example is carried out to verify the developed bushing model and the vehicle simulation is performed to show the fidelity of proposed model.
