A piezoresistive pressure sensor using a silicone rubber membrane has been fabricated on the selectively diffused (100)-oriented n/n+/n silicon substrates by a unique silicon micromachining technique using porous silicon ething. The width, length and thickness of the beam were 120${\mu}m$, 600${\mu}m$ and 7${\mu}m$, respectively and the thickness of the silicone rubber membrane was 40${\mu}m$. By the fusion of silicon beam and silicone rubber membrane, the mechanical strength of the pressure sensor could be highly improved due to smaller shear stress. The effectiveness of the sensor was confirmed through an experiment and FEM simulation in which the pressure sensor was characterized.

Automobile wiper blades are generally treated with chlorine to lower their friction coefficient with the windshield surface. This treatment could affect the crosslink density measurement of rubber vulcanizates, a material used in windshield wipers, which would consequently alter its chemical and physical properties. Therefore, this study evaluated the influence of chlorination on crosslink density measurements of natural rubber (NR) vulcanizates using a vehicle wiper blade. A method for determining the degree of chlorination was developed where the interaction parameter between the rubber and the swelling solvent was corrected. A decrease in the rubber sample swelling ratio was observed upon chlorination, and the chlorination penetrated less than 1% of the sample thickness. The chlorinated NR was assumed to be chloroprene rubber (CR), which was used to correct the interaction parameter. The results showed the CR contributed approximately 7% to the parameter.

All of rubber tubes for force pump are imported from aboard there for locallization of these tubes is make a great contribution of Korean industry In this study compare with existing product of japan and designed the new one that is for our actual circumstances. Experimental work was performed to two kinds of specimen and compression test is performed for them. As a result specimen type A has a better restoration than other and minimum thickness is must over 12mm.

In this paper, the permeability ($\mu_{\tau}'$, $\mu_{\tau}''$), dielectric constants($\varepsilon_{\tau}'$, $\varepsilon_{\tau}''$) and absorbption characteristics of Ferrite/Rubber 0-3 composites were investigated. The composite specimens were prepared by molding and curing the mixtures of matrix rubber and Ni-Zn ferrite powders which were synthesized by wet-direct method. The permeability ($u_{\tau}'$) of specimen was decreased from 2.58 to 0.7 in the range of 1$\sim$7(GHz) and kept constant 0.7$\sim$0.8 at higher than 7(GHz), the higher the frequency was, the less the valves of $u_{\tau}"$ was from 1.57 to 0.03. The optimum thickness of microwave absorber, utilizing the Smith chart, was 5(mm). The reflection loss shows over than 20(dB) from 5.5(GHz) to 7.5(GHz) at 5(mm) thickness and relative band width(B/fm) was about 30%.

The equations are derived for the evaluation of the axial contact force. The contact forces for rubber seals are analyzed as a function of the ratio of real contact length, the thickness of seal lip, the inclined angle of seal lip, and the interference between the edge of seal lip and the rotating inner ring. The design data for rubber seals are presented in terms of the ratio of real contact length, initial inclined lip angle, lip thickness and the interference. The calculated results show that the deflected interference and the circumferential stress cause considerable change of contcat forces for the low sealed pressure.

Adhesion between rubber compound and copper-film-coated steel plate (abbreviated hereafter as copper film plate) with different thicknesses of copper film was investigated. Two different methods were employed for the preparation of the copper film plates: a substitution plating of preelectroplated zinc with copper ion and a vacuum sputtering of copper on steel plate. Adhesion strength of the copper film plates with rubber compounds was largely dependent upon the thickness of copper film, regardless of their preparation methods. The copper film plates with thinner thickness than 75 nm showed high adhesion comparable to brass, while those with thicker copper film showed poor adhesion due to excessive growth of copper sulfide at adhesion interface.

This paper has considered the calculation of lateral stiffness of radial tire's sidewall, which consists of cord stiffness and rubber sheet stiffness, by using the material constants of rubber compounds of tire. We have suggested and illustrated how to calculate the rubber sheet lateral stiffness by considering the following aspects. First, the rubber sheet consists of various kinds of rubber compounds with different thickness along the sidewall in the radial direction. Secondly, equivalent Young's modulus of the rubber sheet can be calculated by using available experimental data of rubber compounds. The present method enables us to divide the calculation domain as many as we want, which can reduce numerical error in the calculation of geometrical and mechanical properties. We have illustrated the calculation by using the data of the radial tire for passenger car of P205/60R15.

In this paper, the microwave absorption properties of two layered absorber were evaluated. The two layer absorber were composed of Ni-Zn ferrite/rubber absorber and Ferroxplana/rubber absorber. The most absorption properties condition were obtained when the transforming layer and absorbing layer were Ferroxplana/robber absorber and Ni -Zn ferrite/rubber absorber. respectivity. The optimal thickness of the transforming and the absorbing layer were 4(mm) and 1(mm), respective1y.

The absorption properties of Cu-Zn ferrite/rubber composite microwave absorbers with PZT(Lead Zirconate Titanate) additive were evaluated. The composite specimens have prepared by molding and curing the mixture of matrix rubber and Cu-Zn ferrite powders which are synthesized by the coprecipitation method using Fe Cl/sub 3/ .center dot. 6H/sub 2/O, CuCl/sub 2/ .center dot. 2H/sub 2/O and Zn Cl/sub 2/ as a starting raw materials. PZT is used as another filler particles to adjust the material constants of Cu-Zn ferrite/rubber composite specimens. We have found that the material constants of specimens could be controlled by various PZT mixing ratio. On the Cu-Zn ferrite/rubber composite specimens with PZT 10[wt%] additive, the reflection losses were larger than 30[dB] in the frequency range from 2.72 to 4.4[GHz]' by adjusing the thickness.

The main object of this research is to minimize the shock effects which frequently result in fatal damage in offshore wind turbine on impact of barge. The collision between offshore wind turbine and barge is generally a complex problem and it is often impractical to perform rigorous finite element analyses to include all effects and sequences during the collision. On applying the impact force of a barge to the offshore wind turbine, the maximum acceleration, internal energy, and plastic strain are calculated for each load case using the finite element method. A parametric study is conducted with the experimental data in terms of the velocity of barge, thickness of the offshore wind turbine, and thickness and Mooney-Rivlin coefficient of the rubber fender. Through the analysis proposed in this study, it is possible to determine the proper size and material properties of the rubber fender and the optimal moving conditions of barge.
