This experiment was done to find out how the length and the diameter of the sprue effects the porosity created during the moduling process, which is caused by the metal's shrinking and stretching action. the experiment was done in two groups(A and B), using experimental gold, and made 10 copings for both groups. 1. In group A, The length of the sprues were given the same, but the diameter of the sprue were 6, 8, 10, 12, 18 gauge. As a result, the porosity came out big with 12 and 18 gauge and for 10, 8, 6 gauge, the porosity was hardly seen or none was noticeable. 2. In group B, the diameter was given the sam for the sprues, but the length of the sprues were 5, 10, 15, 20, 25mm. As a result, the porosity came out big with 25, 20, 15mm the porosity was hardly seen or none was noticeable. 3. The diameter needs to be big and the length, short. 4. The appropriate sized sprue must be chosen for each individual tooth, according to it's shape and size.

The implicit, finite element analysis program for analyzing the springback in the warm forming process of aluminum alloy sheets was developed. For the description of planar anisotropy in warm forming temperatures, Barlat's yield function is employed, and the power law type constitutive equation is used in terms of working temperatures fur the depiction of work hardening in high temperatures. Also, Jetture's 4-node shell elements are introduced for reflecting the mechanical behavior of aluminum alloy sheet and the non-steady heat balance equations are solved for considering heat gain and loss during the forming process. For the springback evaluation, Newton-Raphson iteration method is introduced for overcoming the geometric nonlinearlity problem. In order to verify the validity of the FEM program developed, the stretching bending and springback processes are simulated. Though springback analysis results are slightly bigger than experimental ones, they have the same trend of the decreasing springback as the forming temperature increases.

Titanium alloy sheets have excellent specific strength and corrosion resistance as well as good performance at high temperature. Recently, titanium alloys are widely employed not only for aerospace parts but also for bio prothesis and motorcycle. However, the database is insufficient in the titanium alloy for press forming process. In this study, the effect of temperature on the forming limit diagram was investigated for Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy sheet through the Hecker‘s punch stretching test at elevated temperature. Experimental results obtained in this study can provide a database for the development of press forming process at elevated temperature of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy sheet. From the experimental studies it can be concluded that the formability of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy sheet is governed by the ductile failure for the testing temperature. The formability of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy sheet at $700^{\circ}C$ increases about 7 times compared with that at room temperature.

We report the case of a heterotopic ossification in the subscapularis muscle. A 30-year-old woman was diagnosed as a heterotopic ossification in the right subscapularis muscle. X-rays, a CT scan and a MRI showed bone-like lesions in the muscle. The location of the ossification was both inferior and anterior to the joint. The mass nearly bridged between the proximal humerus and the inferior portion of the coracoid process. Symptoms did not respond to rest, NSAIDs for 3 months and to stretching exercises treatment for 6 months. Excision and biopsy was performed through deltopectoral approach. Disodium Etidronate was administered during the postoperative period. She regained normal range of motion postoperatively and improved in the shoulder pain after performing strengthening exercises with Therabands. We think that a cause of limitation of the shoulder was impingement between the mass and the coracoid process, and that another cause was adhesion between the mass and the joint capsule. We conclude that excision and postoperative rehabilitation exercises are good methods for a heterotopic ossification in the subscapularis muscle for those that are nonresponsive to nonoperative treatments.

The formability of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy sheet at $750^{\circ}C$ increases about 7 times compared with that at room temperature.

Flexible stretch forming is an appropriate process for manufacturing of components for aerospace, shipbuilding and architecture structures. Flexible stretch forming has several advantages including that it could be applied to form various shapes such as ones with double curved surfaces. In this study, a systematic numerical simulation was conducted for forming double curved surfaces using flexible stretch forming. The desired surface had a saddle type configuration. It had two radii one of 2500mm and the other of 2000mm along its length and width. In the simulation, the decrease of elastic recovery due to the stretching was confirmed. Experiments were also conducted to confirm the viability of the process. By comparing the simulation to the experiment results, the suitability of flexible stretch forming for double curved surfaces was verified. From the results, the maximum error from desired surface was confirmed at about 1.3mm at the edge of the surface. Hence, it is confirmed that flexible stretch forming has the capability and feasibility to manufacture curved surfaces for architectural skin-structures of buildings.

The pixel-based processing of an image refers to a process of converting a value of one pixel only depending on the value of the current pixel, regardless of the value of another pixel. Pixel-based processing is used as the most basic operation in many fields such as image conversion, image enhancement, and image synthesis. There are processing methods such as arithmetic operation, histogram smoothing, and contrast stretching. In this paper, in order to clearly distinguish the tidal flat region from the tidal flat image of the west coast taken with a drone, we seek a method to find an efficient outline using pixel-based processing in the boundary detection part of the pre-processing process.

During high speed sewing, the needle thread is exposed to dynamic loading, short strike loading, inertia forces, friction, rubbing, force of check spring, bending, pressure, friction, impact, shock and thermal influence. The dynamic thread loading/tension alters throughout the stitch formation cycle and along its passage through the machine. The greatest tensile force occurs at the moment of stitch stretching, when the take up lever pulls for required thread length through the tension regulator. These stresses act on the thread repeatedly and the thread passes 50-80 times through the fabric, the needle eye and the bobbin case mechanism, before getting incorporated into the seam, which result in upto 40% loss in tensile strength of the sewing thread. This damage in the sewing thread adversely affects its processing and functional performance. In this paper, the contribution of dynamic loading, passage through needle and fabric, and bobbin thread interaction in the loss in tensile properties has been studied. It is observed that the loss in tensile properties occurs mainly due to the bobbin thread interaction. Dynamic loading due to the action of take up lever also causes substantial loss in tenacity and breaking elongation of cotton threads.

A new porous separator based on poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC)/poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoro-propylene) (P(VdF-co-HFP)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) was prepared by a phase inversion method. To enhance mechanical property, the membrane was stretched uniaxially at high temperature. Tensile strength and ionic conductivity were measured for various draw ratios. The tensile strength and ionic conductivity were increased with increasing draw ratio. The tensile strength of the separator reached 52MPa after stretching to draw ratio of 5, and the ionic conductivity of the separator was increased from $1.9Xs10^{-4}S/cm\;to\;4.6X10^{-4}S/cm\;at\;25^{\circ}C$. The stretched separator immersed in liquid electrolyte was electrochemically stable up to 4.7 V. The cell based on the stretched separator was maintained at about 99% of the initial discharge capacity after 10th cycle operation at 0.2C rate.

Porous PVDF hollow fiber membranes were prepared by hybrid process of TIPS(thermally induced phase separation) and stretching for membrane distillation. The tests were conducted to investigate that permeability of the membrane could be enhanced by reducing membrane wall thickness. During fiber spinning, dope discharge rate from nozzle was reduced and flow rate of bore fluid increased to make the wall thickness thinner. As dope discharge rate from nozzle was reduced and flow rate of bore fluid increased, the membrane wall thickness was reduced. As a result, air permeability, water permeability and vapor permeability of the membranes increased.
