To reduce the cost and increase reliability of die and mold products, automation of the finishing (polishing) process is essential. A major element of automation is a reliable database and a knowledge base for polishing status. This paper presents a polishing expert system which can determine optimal polishing sequences and conditions by using an empirical formula and an experimental database. The simplex method was used for the curve fittings of the experimental results. Also a graphical user interface, which visualizes the optimized results, was developed.

Turbine blade has trouble of cracking at root region. Fracture surface of blade root is surveyed by SEM and AFM to clear relation between fracture mechanical parameter and surface parameter (striation width and surface roughness). Service stress is predicted by maximum height roughness $R_{max}$, on fractured surface and stress analysis on turbine blade. It is to thought that turbine blade is fractured by abnormal condition such as incorrect fittings between pin and pin hole but isn't fractured by normal service conditions such as steam pressure, centrifugal force and torsional force.

Three-dimensional pipe flows with elbows and tees for few different pipe fittings are calculated to estimate the effect of swirling flow on measuring accuracy of orifice flow meter. It is evaluated how the pressure difference across the orifice is dependent on the length of upstream straight pipe in a branch and how swirl intensity, swirl angel and axial velocity distribution affect the measuring error of orifice flowmeter. From the results, it is found that, regardless of flow rate specified in this calculation, the effect of the straight pipe length can be neglected for the lengths larger than thirty diameters although there still remain significant swirl at the orifice

A study was conducted in order to remove PVC from the waste plastic film mixture. The fittings of Air Table was modified to increase the separation efficiency of PVC. By using the improved air table, the PE and PVC was successfully separated from PVC-PE film mixture with the yield of PE 90% or more and with the content of PVC in PE 1% or less. The detail of the separation condition and result will be discussed in this paper.

The attenuation of the fundamental non-torsional modes that propagate down buried steel water pipes has been studied. The mode shapes, mode attenuation due to leakage into the surrounding medium and the scattering of the modes as they interact with pipe joints and fittings have been investigated. In the low frequency region the mode predicted to dominate over significant propagation distances approximates a plane wave in the water within pipe. The established acoustic technique used to locate leaks in buried steel water pipes assumes that leak noise propagates as a single non-dispersive mode at a velocity related to the low frequency asymptote of this water borne mode.

S-N fatigue tests were conducted to investigate the fatigue strength of the small diameter socket and butt welded joints of carbon steels. Experimental parameters were pipe diameter, throat depth, shape of socket welds and welding procedure. Filler metals used in SMAW and GTAW procedure were E9016-G with diameter of 4.0 mm and ER70S-G with diameter of 2.4 m. API 5L Gr.B pipes were adopted as a small diameter branch pipes. All socket fittings were machined from ASTM A105 carbon steel. Fatigue strength in socket weld joints increased with increasing pipe diameter, area of weld metal and weld leg length of pipe side.

Using the JHK 2MASS near-infrared data, we present photometry results for the old open cluster (OC) Trumpler 5 (Tr 5). From the near-infrared color-magnitude diagrams of Tr 5, we have located the position of the red giant clump (RGC) stars, and used the mean magnitude of the RGC stars in K-band to estimate the distance to Tr 5. From the Padova isochrone fittings, we have estimated the reddening, metallicity, and age of Tr 5. These parameters generally agree well with those obtained from the previous studies on Tr 5 and confirms that this cluster is an old OC with metallicity being metal-poorer than solar abundance, located in the anti-Galactic center region.

Based on Yonsei Evolutionary Population Synthesis (YEPS), we have investigated the effect of horizontal branch stars (HBs) on the age-dating of simple stellar populations (SSPs). A detailed comparison of YEPS SSP with H_beta of M31 globular clusters (GCs) reveals (1) that the age dating without HB prescription gives ~5 Gyr younger ages for metal-poor M31 GCs, and (2) the age dating with HB prescription does not need any age gap between metal-poor and metal-rich GCs. This result is parallel to the well-known discrepancy in ages derived from integrated Balmer strengths and isochrone fittings of Milky Way GCs (MWGCs). Without a synthetic blue HB model, we cannot explain strong Balmer indices of metal-poor and old MWGCs. Our results suggest that the SSP model with well calibrated HBs should be used for the age-dating of SSPs to avoid a serious underestimation of ages due to the strong Balmer indices.

In this paper, a new modeling methodology of thin film bulk acoustic resonate. (TFBAR) is presented. The new model is started from the Mason model that is a good model to explain the physical characteristics of TFBAR. After simplifying the modified Mason model added dielectric loss term to conventional Mason model, the improved Modified Butterworth-Van Dyke (MBVD) model similar to conventional MBVD model is complete. The proposed model has three optimization variables those are half of the MBVD model. As a result, the curve fittings for the measured data are faster and smarter than any other model.

낙뢰에 대한 전력계통의 적절한 보호를 위해서 피뢰기/아킹혼의 적절한 보호작동 설계가 필요하다. 피뢰기/아킹혼은 낙뢰에 의해 이상전압 발생시 섬락 동작을 통하여 계통을 보호하므로, 절연파괴 특성에 대한 상세한 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 피뢰기/아킹혼의 섬락동작에 직접적인 영향을 주는 절연갭의 미세조정에 따른 절연파괴 특성에 대한 연구를 실험적으로 수행하였다. 실험 결과, 갭간격이 증가할수록 절연파괴전압은 증가하고, 그 증가폭은 지수적으로 감소하는 전형적은 방전 특성을 확인하였으며, 그 상세한 변화 값을 측정하였다. 또한 표준 갭간격에서의 섬락특성과 섬락전압 분포도를 구하여 절연협조 상태를 분석하였다.
