The materials characteristics and lifetime evaluation are very important in design procedure to assure the safety and reliability of rubber components. This paper discusses the failure mechanism and material test were carried out to predict the useful life of NBR and EPDM rubber mount for compression motor which is used in refrigerator. In order to investigate the heat-aging effects on the materials properties, stress-strain curve were obtained from the results of material tests. Compression set results changes as the threshold are used for assessment of useful life and the time were plotted against reciprocal of absolute temperature to give the Arrhenius plot.

Eco-robot for collecting recycling products is the machine which collects non-industrial wastes such as cans, PET bottles and etc. to reuse them as recycling resources. This eco-robot is operated in the condition that it should compress and hold various products without knowing their geometric shapes and material properties. For this reason reliability problems like malfunction or failure. comes to emerge, but the reliability test conditions to assess its performance and durability have not been founded yet. Therefore in this research failure mechanism of the eco-robot was analyzed and life test equipment which can reproduce actual usage conditions was developed. The compression levels in the life test were determined by measuring the crushing force acting on test products and Furthermore the test specimens which have equivalent shape and material properties with those of cans and PET bottles were proposed by simulating the deformation characteristics so that the actual compression conditions were set up in the test.

In the case where the set of training vectors constitute clusters, the codevectors of the codebook which is used to compression for speech and images in the vector quantization are regarded as the central vectors of the clusters constituted by given training vectors. In this work, we consider the distribution of Euclidean distance obtaining in the process of searching for the minimum distance between vectors, and propose the method searching for the proper number of and the central vectors of clusters. And then, the proposed method shows more than the about 4[dB] SNR than the LBG algorithm and the competitive learning algorithm

Pull-off test is generally used as a method of evaluating bond strength of FRP with concrete at the job site. However, pull-off test damages FRP composites and the maximum pull-off strength is limited up to tensile strength of concrete. Accordingly, it is required to set-up a test method that can simply evaluate bond performance of structural adhesive. This study suggested compression and bending test of epoxy resin as test methods that can indirectly evaluate performance of adhesive, as well as standardized test specification for different types of specifications from various countries. In this study, the section dimension of compression and bending test specimens is unified, and standard test specimen size is achieved by test results.

웨이블릿을 이용한 분해와 복원은 영상의 압축에 널리 사용되는 도구이다. 웨이블릿 분해된자연 영상은 원 영상의 동일 부분을 표현하는 대역간의 계수 값 사이에 높은 상관관계를 갖고 있고, 하나의 대역 안의 인접한 계수들 사이에도 높은 상관 관계를 갖고 있다. EZW(Evbedded Zerotree Wavelet)나 SPIHT(Set Partitioning in Hierachical Trees)과 같이 성능이 우수하고 널리 사용되는 웨이블릿 기반 영상 압축은 웨이블릿 계수의 대역간 상관 관계를 이용하고 있다. Zero Tree에 기초한 이와 같은 방법들은 계수값의 부모 후손 관계를 이용하기 때문에 대역별 부호화를 수행할 수 없으며, 다중 해상도 복원이 필요한 응용 분야에 효과적으로 적용되어지지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 하나의 대역 내에서 인접한 계수들 간의 상관성을 이용한 대역 독립적 부호화 기법을 제안한다. 압축 성능은 SPIHT과 대등하거나 약간 우수한 것으로 나타났고, 다중해상도 복원에 효과적으로 적용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

This paper focuses on lossless medical image compression methods for medical images that operate on two-dimensional(2D) reversible integer wavelet transform. We offer an application of the Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees(SPIHT) algorithm [1][3][9] to medical images, using a 2D wavelet decomposition and a 2D spatial dependence tree. The wavelet decomposition is accomplished with integer wavelet filters implemented with the lifting method, where careful scaling and truncations keep the integer precision small and the transform unitary. We have tested our encoder on medical images using different integer filters. Results show that our algorithm with certain filters performs as well and sometimes better in lossless coding than previous coding systems using 2D integer wavelet transforms on medical images.

A blocked zerotree coding algorithm for compression of subband image is proposed. Significance of blocks with respect to a certain threshold are coded with a set of transition rules for the significance of blocks. Significant blocks are quantized by vector quantization. The basic idea for this coding approach are: 1) Subband images are coded by blocks, 2) Important blocks based on the significance of blocks are coded and quantized, 3) Multiband codebook which is composed of sub-codebooks dedicated for each threshold and subband level is adapted to produce good reproduction vectors for vector quantization. The compression results are similar to Shapiro's zerotree coding even though ours are obtained without entropy coding of bit streams from blocked zerotree encoder. If an entropy coding is applied to the bitstream, PSNR will be improved.

Composite thin-walled members for civil engineering application are mainly produced by pultrusion technique, and they are generally made of a polymeric resin system reinforced by E-glass fibers due to economical reason. This material combination results in low elastic moduli of the composite materials and makes the design of composite members to be governed by stability limit state. Therefore the buckling behavior of composite thin-walled members was experimentally investigated in the present study. Axial compression was applied on each specimens by a hydraulic ram and knife edge fixtures were placed at both ends to simulate simple boundary condition. Axial compression, lateral displacements and twisting at the mid-height of each specimen were measured by a set of transducers during buckling test. The experimental buckling loads were compared with analytical results obtained through isotropic formulas. In the calculation of analytical results, elastic properties such as Young's modulus(E) and shear modulus(G) were replaced with EL and GLT obtained from coupon tests, respectively.

It is well known that Premixed Charge Compression Ignition (PCCI) diesel engines according to many technologies such a change in injection timing, multiple injection strategy, cooled EGR, intake charging and SCV have the potential to achieve homogeneous mixture in the cylinder which result in lower NOx and PM as well as performance improvements. This may generate merely the infinite number of experimental conditions. The use of Response Surface Methodology (RSM) technique can considerably pull down the number of experimental set and time demand. This paper presents the effects of both fuel injection and engine operation conditions on the combustion and emissions in the PCCI diesel engine system. The experimental results have revealed that a change in fuel injection timing and multiple injection strategy along with various operating conditions affect the combustion, emissions and BSFC characteristics in the PCCI engine.

The physical and mechanical properties of linerboard were shown to be affected by changing atmospheric conditions. Two atmospheric conditions were measured in order to investigate how they were affected by different atmospheric conditions on the physical and mechanical properties of domestic linerboard. The basis data set for the standardization research was provided in this study. It is confirmed that the relative humidity seemed to be a major factor on the quality deterioration of a linerboard. Experimental results have shown that the short span compression test (SCT) could be used to evaluate the quality characteristics of linerboardat different moisture content and relative humidity.
