The rolling fatigue lives (RFL) of five kinds of silicon nitride balls were investigated. Four kinds of Si$_3$N$_4$balls were fabricated using different raw materials, sintering aids and sintering conditions. Commercially available Si$_3$N$_4$ball was also studied for comparison. All the balls were finished up to the dimensional accuracy of Grade 10 defined in KS B 2001 (Steel Balls fer Ball Bearings) with a size of 9.525 mm. RFL tests were then conducted under the initial theoretical maximum contact stress 6.38 GPa and the spindle speed 10,000 rpm. Gear oil was provided by oiled race as lubricant. The results of RFL test indicated the prerequisitic conditions for the long rolling life of Si$_3$N$_4$ball : (1) the high density, (2) microstructures consisted of small uniformly distributed grains, (3) little glassy phase in grainboundary, and (4) little crystalline phase and secondary phase that induces residual thermal stress due to the differences of thermal expansion coefficient with Si$_3$N$_4$phase.

Background: Standardized procedures for the clinical application of fire cupping methods have not been established. In particular, the pressure parameters have not been fully characterized and described. Therefore, using various materials, this study investigated the pressure range exerted during fire cupping therapy. Methods: In this study, 3 differently sized (small, medium, large) glass and bamboo cups were used in the cotton ball fire cupping procedure to measure the pressure inside the cup applied to a human skin model. The pressure in each cup was measured 15 times for a total of 90 measurements. Results: A small bamboo cup had the minimum overall pressure (-305.4 mmHg), whereas the large glass cup exerted the maximum pressure (-401.3 mmHg), followed by the medium glass cup, large bamboo cup, small glass cup, and medium bamboo cup. The average pressure exerted by the cotton ball method for all cups ranged from -348.715 mmHg to -358.694 mmHg (95% confidence interval). Overall, the glass cups had a greater pressure than the bamboo cups in all groups (p < 0.001). Among the glass cups used, the larger the size of the cup, the higher the average pressure detected (-381.947 mmHg to -391.973 mmHg; p < 0.05). Conclusion: Large glass cups which are widely used in clinical practice, when used in the fire cupping method exerted pressure ranging from -381.947 mmHg to -391.973 mmHg (95% CI).

유리섬유/에폭시 복합재료로 피막한 판유리의 표변파괴거동에 대한 섬유방향효과를 미소강구 충격실험을 통해 연구했다. 본 연구에서는 단순소다유리판(soda-lime glass plates), 일방향 유리섬유/에폭시박막 (glass/epoxy lamina ply)을 1층 및 2층 접착, 직교형 유리섬유/에폭시 박막 (2층)을 접착한 4종류의 시편을 사용하였다. 유리판 배면에 스트레인게이지를 부착하여 충격중의 최대 응력과 흡수파괴에너지를 측정하였다. 피막없는 판유리의 경우 충격속도 증가에 따라 링균열, 콘균열, 레이디얼 균열이 충격표면부에서 발생하였다. 복합재료 박막으로 피막한 결과, 소다유리판의 균열은 현저히 감소하였으며 섬유층과 판유리사이의 박리 및 소성변형영역의 방향은 섬유방향으로 진행했다. 최대응력과 흡수파괴에너지를 이용하여 구한 충격 표면파괴지수는 표면저항의 효과적인 평가지수로서 사용될 수 있었다.

A miniature shear testing machine was designed and developed, adopting a piezoelectric actuator with mechanical advantage using 4 levers in order to investigate shear behavior of a small solder ball. The final output displacement was initially expected to be 2.88 mm without load resistance, considering the lever ratio of 24 and the piezo displacement of 0.12 mm with an exciting voltage of 10 V. However, the final plunger displacement ${\Delta}{\upsilon}$ can be expected as ${\Delta}{\upsilon}=2.88-3.04{\times}10^{-4}F$ as a function of piezoelectric force F due to the stiffness of various levers and connectors and piezo actuator. The shear behavior of lead-free solder ball in diameter of $760{\mu}m$ was successfully investigated in a speed range of 2 mm/s~0.0035 mm/s using this designed device.

In this paper, a study on the frictional losses and dynamic behaviors of a reciprocating compression mechanism used in small refrigeration compressor is performed. In the problem formulation of the compressor dynamics, the viscous frictional force between piston and cylinder wall is considered in order to determine the coupled dynamic behaviors of piston and crankshaft supported on a thrust ball bearing. The solutions of the equations of motion of the reciprocating mechanism along with the time dependent Reynolds equations for the lubricating film between piston and cylinder wall and lubricant films of the journal bearings are obtained simultaneously. The hydrodynamic forces of journal bearings are calculated using finite bearing model and G$\hat{u}$m-bel boundary condition. And, a Newton-Raphson procedure was employed in solving the nonlinear equations of piston and crankshaft with a thrust ball bearing. The results explored the effects of design parameters on the frictional losses and dynamic stability of the compression mechanism.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the gas leakage for a 30-inch ball valve. The ball valve was designed and manufactured for a natural gas transportation through a long-distance pipeline mainly installed in the permafrost region. The gas leakage assessment is based on the pressure testing criteria of international standards. Pressure conditions of the gas leakage test was employed 70 bar, 100 bar, and 110 bar. The amount of the gas leakage at each pressure condition was small and had a value under the pressure testing criteria, ISO 5208. Gas leakage with respect to the test pressure was predicted by the polynomial curve fitting using the experimental results. It is found that the gas leakage rate according to the pressure is proportion to a second order curve.

알루미늄 호일 스크랩의 건식 및 습식 볼밀링에 의하여 알루미늄 플레이크 분말을 체조하는 재활용 기술에 대해 여 연구하였다. 볼밀링시 알루미늄 호일 스크랩들은 볼에 의한 미소 단조에 의하여 서로 층상으로 겹쳐지고 연산되면서 작은 호일로 쪼개진 후 플레이크 분말로 변하였다. 이러한 스크랩중에 $60\mu\textrm{m}$ 이하의 호일 스크랩은 볼밀링에 의하여 알루미늄 페이스트로 재활용이 가능하였고 초기 호일의 두께가 작을수록 쉽게 플레이크 분말화가 가능 하였다. 알루미늄 호일 스크랩의 봉밀링에 의하여 얻은 풀레이크 분말을 함유하는 알루미늄 페이스트와 가스 분사된 분말을 초기원료로 사용하여 불밀링한 플레이크 분말을 함유하는 페]이스트를 유리관위에 폐인팅한 후 외관 및 광택도를 비교한 결과, 그 특성은 유사하였다.

Powder type Ag system insert metals were manufactured by ball milling process. The variables of milling process such as milling media, revolution speed and powder/ball weight ratio were constant except the milling time. The milling times were selected for 24, 48 and 72 hours. The insert metals made by milling process were evaluated by performing scanning electron microscope, x-ray and DSC(differential scanning calorimetry) analysis, and further in terms of wettability test. The selected insert metals that have the good characteristics compared to commercial insert metals were applied to make the brazed joints of the steel/steel and the steel/WC superhard particles. The characterizations of those brazed joints were also conducted by microstructural observations, shear tensile tests and microhardness measurements. The results indicated that milling time of 48 hours for making powder type insert metals was the best condition showing the small amount of oxides residue, low wetting angle and stable microstructure. The brazed joints that applied the 48 hours milled insert metal were very sound condition indicating the shear tensile value of $2.29{\times}102$ MPa and the microhardness of 138VHN. Further, the amount of the porosity was appeared to be lower than that of the commercial insert metals.

The results of the measurement of the flow-rate coefficient (Cv-value) and the analysis of a small ball valve are summarized follows. The Cv-values of 1/2-, 3/4- and 1-inch ball valves were measured using a flow-rate measurement test. The manufacturer obtained the Cv-value using a theoretical calculation method. The new experimental measurement and analysis method yielded more reliable results. In addition, the Cv value obtained through numerical analysis was almost identical the value provided by the manufacturer, which was based on experimental results. A Study on Flow Analysis results are all similar appearances as the reliability of the results.
