Epoxy resins have been widely used for many applications along with good processibility. However, epoxy resin systems have poor hot/wet performance properties and brittleness after resin curing and have limited to apply for environmental resistant materials. In order to improve the toughness of epoxy resin, this review article deals with incorporation method of rubber and high performance thermoplastics into the matrix resin. In addition, molecular design of epoxy resin and modification of thermoplastic have been introduced for improving hot/wet properties of epoxy resin.

Recently environment-friendly construction method is major trend in both domestic and world constrction fields. In this paper High Functional Performance Agent(Hi-FA) which has various improved engineering characteristics different with conventional Portland cement grouting, such as high viscosity, liquidity, void filling ability, early hardening, and separation resistance, was analyzed by field and laboratory test. Also soil improvement and existing deep foundation protection works were performed and analyzed using Hi-FA.

Chiller system plays an important role of maintaining room temperature constantly by supplying chilled water to Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning(HVAC)or area room cooler equipment during plant normal operation or accident condition. Chiller failures are one of the most frequently occurring equipment failures. If the types of chiller failures are analyzed and grouped thoroughly, it would be helpful to make chiller maintenance strategy at the plants. That would enhance equipment reliability of chiller in the end. In this paper, chiller failure data during three years were analyzed and categorized by specific failure code. In addition, the various proposals to improve equipment reliability of chiller were suggested such as Preventive Maintenance Optimization(PMO) strategy and performance monitoring reinforcement and so on.

There are genuine parts, non-genuine parts and recycled parts which can be replaced for the repair of damaged parts of crashed cars. It is the recent trend in korea that recycled C. V joints are more popular than the genuine parts fur repairing crashed cars due to the cost. Performance of recycled C. V. joints as replacement parts was tested and analysed in this study. To examine the durability of the recycled parts, the replaced C. V joints after repair were tested and analysed periodically. The results were showed that basic performance of the recycled parts was normal. However ball cage was more frequently damaged than genuine parts. We concluded that a standard test for recycled parts is required to get a safe and durable parts.

This paper addresses a design issue of "model complexity and performance trade-off" in the application of bandwidth extension (BWE) methods to the intra-frame predictivevector quantization problem of wideband speech. It discusses model-based linear and non-linear prediction methods and presents a comparative study of them in terms of prediction gain. Through experimentation, the general trend of saturation in performance (with the increase in model complexity) is observed. However, specifically, it is also observed that there is no significant difference between HMM and GMM-based BWE functions.

Earlier models of card vending machines have generally motion drives with high cost and large size. However, current trend in card vending machines requires low-cost, compact-sized and readily installable motion drives. This paper shows the operational principle of the motion drive of a card vending machine and then presents the performance test results of the motion drive with improved mechanisms proposed in the paper. The results show that the proposed mechanism is valid and improves the card dispensing performance. The proposed model in the paper is accepted and introduced in the actual production line.

Flow through turbomachinery has a very complex structure and is intrinsically unsteady. Especially, recent design trend to turbomachinery with short axial spacing makes the flow extremely complex due to the interaction between stator and rotor. Therefore, it is very necessary to clearly understand the complex flow structure to obtain the high efficiency turbomachinery. So, in this paper, the effects of axial spacing on the unsteady secondary flow performance in the one stage turbine are investigated by three-dimensional unsteady flow analysis. The three-dimensional solver is parallelized using domain decomposition and Message Passing Interface(MPI) standard to overcome the limitation of memory and the CPU time in three-dimensional unsteady calculation. A sliding mesh interface approach has been implemented to exchange flow information between blade rows.

The purpose of this paper is to review recent developments in lower limb exoskeletons. The exoskeleton system is a human-robot cooperation system that enhances the performance of the wearer in various environments while the human operator is in charge of the position control, contextual perception, and motion signal generation through the robot's artificial intelligence. This system is in the form of a mechanical structure that is combined to the exterior of a human body to improve the muscular power of the wearer. This paper is followed by an overview of the development history of exoskeleton systems and their three main applications in military/industrial field, medical/rehabilitation field and social welfare field. Besides the key technologies in exoskeleton systems, the research is presented from several viewpoints of the exoskeleton mechanism, human-robot interface and human-robot cooperation control.

The purpose of this study is finding the key factors for navy to determine the necessity of naval ship PIP(Performance Improvement Program) against the altered battle field environment and politics. Recently, leading countries try to cope actively with the changing international circumstances and technology development trend in the commercial industry. In the case of domestic situation, based on the regulation, it is possible to modify the ship configurations by PIP, but there are not enough criteria and references to make a decision of necessity for the PIP program considering the naval ship acquisition planning by navy. It is necessary to acquire the obvious decision criteria for determination of PIP commencement, by the operational, political and security environment around the Korean peninsula. Considering these conditions, this study proposes the factors necessary for naval ship PIP for navy.
