The fatigue strength of welded aluminum alloy component has been evaluated. Extruded aluminum alloy component Al 6005-T6 was considered. That component could be one of appropriate candidates for floor structure in railway cars. Finite element analysis has been performed to obtain stress distribution in the welded aluminum component. The results of finite element analysis have been applied in designing the experimental setup for fatigue strength evaluation of welded component. Three point bending fatigue test has been employed, until fracture occurs, to evaluate the fatigue strength of the welded component. In addition, the fatigue strength of the component has been compared with that of specimen.

The purpose of the study was to examine a method most pertinent to measure subglottic air pressure. Subglottic air pressure and loudness analyses were performed on vowels /a/, /i/ and consonant /p/ in 12 normal subjects using. Aerophone II voice function. The experimental contexts were, therefore, /i:pi:pi:/ and /a:pa:pa:/. The subjects produced the intervocalic /p/ in 4 different situations: 1) /i:pi:pi:/ with voiceless /p/, 2) /i:pi:pi:/ with voiced /p/, 3) /a:pa:pa:/ with voiceless /p/, and 4) /a:pa:pa:/ with voiced /p/. A t-test and a correlation analysis revealed the following results. First, when we measured subglottic air pressure by /i:pi:pi:/, voiceless /p/ was significantly different from voiced /p/. Second, when we measured subglottic air pressure by /a:pa:pa:/, voiceless /p/ was significantly different from voiced /p/. Therefore, it was concluded that voiceless /p/ produced more accurate subglottic air pressure and clinicians needed to have patients produce accurate /p/ when measuring subglottic air pressure using Aerophone II.

The purpose of this study is to examine two different types of meal experiences as the experimental factors and empirically incorporates a context specific approach into the measurement of bakery attractiveness. The study used frequency analysis to examine the demography of respondents, t-test to compare the importance rating of each attribute for its contribution to the selection of a bakery in terms of each type of meal, and anova analysis to compare the satisfaction rating of each attribute for its contribution to the selection of a bakery in the context of regular meal and a eating between meal The study indicated the implications of these findings concerning marketing and development initiatives to improve the physical and perceptual attractiveness of the bakerys.

Qualitative research is a method widely used in marketing research. However, the method has seldom been used in fashion marketing research in Korea. The purpose of this study was to prove that using both qualitative and quantitative research methods in main stage is much useful than using qualitative research method only in exploratory stage. Qualitative data were gathered by conducting Focus Group Interview(FGI) with 48 college students. Quantitative data were gathered by surveying college students, and 487 questionnaires were used in the statistical analysis. The data were analyzed using content analysis, mean, standard deviation, and t-test. As a result, FGI, one of the tools used in qualitative research methods, was proved to be useful in revealing consumers´deep emotional needs as well as purchase motives. FGI also revealed information which quantitative research method tools such as survey could have missed. Therefore, it is best to use multiple methods-simultaneous use of quantitative and qualitative methods-to understand fast changing consumers´needs and purchase motives.
