Fruits are generally subjected to mechanical forces during harvesting, handling, and transportation that may cause damage in the form of bruises, punctures, and cracks. In order to prevent damage, and insure better quality fruits for consumers, it is very essential to study physical properties of these materials. The studies were conducted to examine the effect of storage period, storage condition, and other factors, such as loading rate and initial strain, on the stress relaxation behavior of the fruit flesh, and develop nonlinear viscoelastic models to represent its stress relaxation behavior. The following results were obtained from the study : 1. Since the viscoelastic behavior of the fruits flesh was nonlinear, the behavior was satisfactorily modelled as follows ; $${\delta}({\varepsilon},\;t)={\varepsilon}^A[B\;{\exp}(-Ct)+D\;{\exp}(-Ft)+G(-Ht)]$$ But, for the every strain applied, the stress relaxation behavior of the fruit flesh, such as apple and pear, could be well described by the Generalized Maxwell model, respectively. 2. The effect of loading rate on the stress relaxation behavior was remarkable. The higher loading rate resulted in the higher initial stress, and the faster stress relaxation. 3. The higher initial strain resulted in the higher initial stress, and stress relaxed at the large initial strain was also much higher than at the small initial strain. 4. Stress relaxation rate and quantity stored in the fruits at the low temperature storage were much higher than those at the normal temperature storage in the same storage period. Also, in all fruits tested, the longer storage period was the more relaxation rate and quantity were shown. These trends in the normal temperature condition was the more significant than in the low temperature condition.

Stress is experienced when a person tries to maintain stability in the face of life change but is not able to meet the adaptive demands of change. This can be especially true for the parents who has a cerebral palsy childs who needs long term rare, where parents, are the primary source of care and responsibility. Successful coping leads to maintenance of the parents role and this has an effect on the health status of the child. This descriptive study was attempted to identify stress factors, levels and helpful coping patterns for parents who must take care of cerebral palsy children. Data were collected from 43 subjects who were parents of children diagnosed with cerebral palsy The informations gathered from March 25, 1994 to April 14, 1994 by means of structured questionnaires were analyzed. Two instruments were used to collect the data 1) Lee's stress questionnaire consisted of 33 stress factors and measured by four point Likert scale. 2) Modified Chronic Health Inventory for parents: The modified CHIP included 43 items of coping methods with four point Likert scale. The results of this study were as follows: 1) Stress items could have a maximum score of three points, for a total possible score of 132 points. The mean score for the total was 92.02 points. The item mean score was 2.85 points showing that the parents were experiencing moderate to much stress. 2) The items with the highest stress items were 16 items. The stress items with the lowest mean scores were 10 items. 3) Of the stress categories: The highest stress category was related to changes in the illness status of the child and difficulty in taking rare of the child. The second stressful category was related to the prognosis of the child's condition. The least stress was noticed to social-personal relationships and the responsibility of the care givers. 4) Items measuring coping in the parents had a maximum score of three points each with a total possible roping score of 172 points. The mean score for the total was 103,9 paints. The item mean score was 2.42 points indicating that there were responses of little helpful to moderately helpful on each coping pattern. 5) The most helpful coping items were 7 items. The least helpful coping items were 2 items. 6) Effectiveness of the coping for each patterns was examined : Understanding the illness condition from communication with parents of children with the same condition and consultation with the medical team was the most helpful coping pattern. Family's coorperation and integration and optimism were a moderately helpful coping pattern. Social support psychological stability and self esteem were the least helpful toping pattern. In conclusion, the highest stress for parents of children with cerebropalsy was found to be very stressful changes in the illness of the child and to taking care of a child who is suffering. The parents were helped by the coping methods using understanding of the illness condition through consultation with the medical learn and communication with parents in the same situation. Based on the knowledge, care could develop intervention strategies appropriate for them, help them to develop their effective coping patterns, and give support them in the process of coping with their stress.

본 연구의 목적은 Piezocone 관입시험을 이용한 연약지반의 OCR 평가에 있어 기존의 여러 가지 해석방법들과 최근에 새롭게 제안된 방법들을 실내 모형토조에서 실측된 피에조콘 관입 실험치에 적용하여 각 해석방법들의 차이와 장단점들을 비교 분석하는데 있다. 본 연구의 연구실험방법으로는, Piezocone 관입을 위한 연약 모형지반 조성을 위하여 초대형 Slurry Consolidometer에 Free Stress 상태의 Slurry를 45일간 압밀시킨후 Automatic Computer Control Calibration Chamber (LSU/CALCHAS; Louisiana Slate University Calibration Chamber System)에 옮긴후 다시한번 압밀시키는 Two-Stage Consolidation Method를 사용하였다. 모형지반은 여러 가지 Boundary Condition들과 Stress Condition 그리고 Stress History등을 달리하여 총 5개의 지반을 조성하였다. 관입시험은 총 25개의 Piezocone 관입이 수행되어졌고, 그중 4개는 Standard 10 cm2 Piezocone이고, 나머지 21개는 Miniature Piezocone이 사용되었다. Piezocone 실험치들에 대한 여러 가지 OCR 해석방법 적용결과, Schmertmann방법은 5개 모형지반 모두에서 과다한 OCR평가를 보였으며, $B_{q}$ 방법은 일부모형지반에서 음의 OCR값으로 계산되어졌다. 그러나, Critical-Stale Soil Mechanics 와 Cavity Expansion 이론에 근거하여 Mayne(1991), Kurup(1993), Tumay et al (1995) 들이 제안한 OCR 평가방법들은 실험치와 잘맞는 경향을 보여주었다. 이와같은 이론 모델값들의 차이는 응력조건(Stress Condition)과 경계조건(Boundary Condition)들에 대한 각 해석방법들의 고려정도에 따른 결과로 판단된다.

Recently, boss and rib test based on backward extrusion process was proposed to quantitatively evaluate the interfacial friction condition in bulk forming process. In this test, the tube-shaped punch with hole pressurizes the workpiece so that the boss and rib are formed along the hole and outer surface of the punch. It was experimentally and numerically revealed that the height of boss is higher than that of the rib under the severe friction condition. This work is focused on the effect of the punch design and flow stress on deformation pattern in boss and rib test. From the boss and rib test simulations, it was found that there is slight variation in both the heights of boss and rib according to the length of punch land, nose radius, and face angle. However the hole diameter of the punch and the clearance between the punch and die have a significant influence on the calibration curves showing the heights of the boss and rib. In addition, the effect of flow stress on the calibration curves was investigated through FE simulations. It was found that there is no effect of strength coefficient of the workpiece on the calibration curves for estimation of friction condition. On the other hand, the strain-hardening exponent of the workpiece has a significant influence on the calibration curve.

The reliability qualification test is essential in order to ensure the life time of the product under the normal operation conditions when a new product is developed. The reliability qualification test period has an important impact on the development time of new product. Therefore, some researches to reduce the test time of reliability qualification test have been actively studied. Generally, accelerated life test is well known as one method that can save the test time of the reliability qualification test. This test is conducted under the higher stress condition than normal condition. So we need to investigate what factor affects to the higher stress condition. This paper shows the relationship between the acceleration factor and reliability qualification test period. Especially, we focused on the method to obtain effective acceleration factors under the high temperature condition. Through some experiments for a refrigerator's compressor, we were able to confirm how to increase acceleration factors and how to reduce the reliability qualification test period with minimum samples.

Most cracks in the structure occur under mixed mode loadings and those propagation depend on the stress ratio very much. So, it is necessary to study the fatigue behavior under mixed mode loading as stress ratio changes. In this paper, fatigue crack propagation behavior was investigated respectively at stress ratio 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 and we change loading application angle to $0^{\circ},\;30^{\circ},\;60^{\circ}$ to apply various loading. mode. The mode I and II stress intensity factors of CTS specimen used in this study were calculated by displacement extrapolation method using FEM(ABAQUS). Using both the study through the experiment and the theoretical study through FEM analysis, we studied the relation between crack propagation rate and stress intensity factor range at each loading mode due to the variation of stress ratio. Also, when the crack propagated under given stress condition and given loading mode condition, we studied what the dominant factors of the crack propagation rate were at each case.

최근 시민편의를 위한 도심지 사회기반시설의 확충으로 인하여 민원최소화와 시공안정성을 고려한 쉴드터널 시공이 증가하고 있다. 대부분의 쉴드터널은 지하수가 유입되지 않는 비배수조건으로 가정하여 설계되지만 현장에서는 배수시설을 설치하여 지하수를 배출하는 배수터널처럼 운영되므로 설계 시 배수조건이 고려될 필요가 있다. 또한 우리나라 전역에 넓게 분포하고 가장 많이 이용되는 화강풍화토 지반에 대한 고려도 필요하다. 본 논문은 배수 및 응력조건을 조절할 수 있고 지하수면 아래 화강풍화토 지반에 위치한 터널을 모사할 수 있는 실험장비를 이용하여 실험하였으며, 전응력, 간극수압 및 배수내관의 유입유량을 측정하였다. 실험결과 배수조건 시 간극수압 감소로 인하여 전응력이 비배수조건보다 작게 나타났고, 유입유량은 재하응력에 비례하였다. 결과적으로 쉴드터널 설계 시 배수조건이 고려된다면 라이닝 작용 응력이 감소되기 때문에 경제성 높은 설계가 가능할 것으로 예상된다.
