In resolving industrial quality control problems, a vector of multiple quality characteristic variables is involved rather than a single variable. However, it is not guaranteed that a multivariate control chart based on statistical methods can monitor abnormal signal in case that small changes of relationship between each variables causes abnormal production process. Hence a quality control system for real-time monitoring of the multi-dimensional quality characteristic vector under a multivariate normal process is needed to enhance tile production system quality performance. A pattern analysis approach based on self-organizing map (SOM), an unsupervised learning technique of neural network, is applied to the design of such a quality control system. In this study we present a new material quality control system based on pattern analysis approach and illustrate the effectiveness of proposed system using actual electronic company material data.

In this paper, magneto-dielectric material is proposed to use for minimizing antenna size. One examle of very small antenna is presented to prove this with antenna's area of $0.078\lambda_0\times0.016\lambda_0$, and just moderate values of permittivity and permeability while the return loss can reach - 38 dB at the resonant frequency. The parameters of dielectric material for that best performance are $\varepsilon_r=1.71-j0.004$, and $\mu_r=2.39-j2.58$. Besides, this material also has ability to control the trade-off between the gain and bandwidth while keeping the antenna size unchanged.

The purpose of this study was to investigate not only the change and characterisitics of armours design, item, and material but also the social change which was represented them from the ancient to the middle age. The result of the study as follows : 1. In the ancient, a painting tattoing, and scar had used to express a threating attitude or fear instead of armour. Also the natural material including leather and fur had used for armour's material and it caused by their life style. 2. The change of war method and appearance of new arms introduced the various kinds of armours, helmets, materials, etc. 3. In various parts of Europe, armour's design and material were indicated similar character. 4. Armour's color and a flag were used by a means that distinguish between region and nation.

The aim of this study is in emphasizing the importance of the use of material and the tectonic and their influence on the spatial quality by analyzing Peter Zumthor's projects as case studies. In the research, Zumthor's choice of material, construction method (detail and structure) and the relationship with the context were analyzed in order to illustrate Zumthor's approach in making a strong tie with the locality. Three of Zumthor's projects of different sizes and programs were chosen to heighten the sensitivity of Zumthor's unique working method for each project. Peter Zumthor's architecture is neither superficial nor visually complex. On the contrary, he aims to express through the use of material and construction method, a unique relationship with the physical context, social context and most importantly the actual experience of the space itself. This study aims to contribute towards increasing the awareness and the interest in the materiality and the tectonics which are the fundamentals in spatial experience and spatial identity.

This study contributes to evaluate multiphase topology optimization design of plate-like structures on elastic foundations by using classic plate theory. Multi-material optimal topology and shape are produced as an alternative to provide reasonable material assignments based on stress distributions. Multi-material topology optimization problem is solved through an alternative active-phase algorithm with Gauss-Seidel version as an optimization model of optimality criteria. Stiffness and adjoint sensitivity formulations linked to thin plate potential strain energy are derived in terms of multiphase design variables and Winkler-Pasternak parameters considering elastic foundation to apply to the current topology optimization. Numerical examples verify efficiency and diversity of the present topology optimization method of elastic thin plates depending on multiple materials and Winkler-Pasternak parameters with the same amount of volume fraction and total structural volume.

A new hybrid ON/OFF method is presented for the fast solution of electromagnetic inverse problems in high frequency domains. The proposed method utilizes both topological sensitivity (TS) and material sensitivity (MS) to update material properties in unit design cells. MS provides smooth design space and stable convergence, while TS enables sudden changes of material distribution when MS slows down. This combination of two sensitivities enables a reduction in total computation time. The TS and MS analyses are based on a variational approach and an adjoint variable method (AVM), which permits direct calculation of both sensitivity values from field solutions of the primary and adjoint systems. Investigation of the formulations of TS and MS reveals that they have similar forms, and implementation of the hybrid ON/OFF method that uses both sensitivities can be achieved by one optimization module. The proposed method is applied to dielectric material reconstruction problems, and the results show the feasibility and effectiveness of the method.

This paper is concerned with investigating the plastic material properties of steel plate formed by line heating method, and is aimed at implementing more rational design considering the accidental limit states such as collision or grounding. For the present study, line heating test for marine grade steel plate has been carried out with varying plate thickness and heating speed, and then microscopic examination and tensile test have been carried out. From the microscopic, it is found that the grain refined zones like ferrite and pearlite are formed all around the heat affected zone. From the tensile test results, it is seen that yield strength, tensile strength, fracture strain, hardening exponent and strength coefficient vary with plate thickness and heat input quantity. The formulae relating the material properties and heat input parameter should be, therefore, derived for the design purpose considering the accidental impact loading. This paper ends with describing the extension of the present study.

This paper describes a method of precise estimation for printing time and material consumption which are directly related to the 3D printing cost. Printing process and head motion of 3D printers using digital printing head, which is analyzed by its digitized steps, is rapidly simulated without slicing to calculate estimated printing results. Using this method, printing time and material usage of 3D printer were estimated quickly and precisely and compared to the real printing result. Applying compensation using the printing parameters, transferred from the 3D printer to the printing estimation system, even more accurate estimation is achieved. This method is used in the 3D Sprint software.

In power cables as one of the important power applications adopting HTS tapes, a good insulation should be kept at its optimum performance. As an insulation material for superconducting device applications, polypropylene laminated paper (PPLP) is now widely used instead of the conventional Kraft paper. In addition to its dielectric property, the insulation material should also possess superior mechanical property at cryogenic temperatures and operability that is necessary for the insulation winding process. This study aims to evaluate the mechanical property of the PPLP material at ambient and cryogenic temperatures. At cryogenic temperature, the failure stress of PPLP increased significantly as compared with that at ambient temperature. The failure stress at both temperatures depended upon the sample orientation to the load application.

Design of a piezoelectric actuator for the ultrasonic motor must ensure that contact point has elliptic trajectory of movement. The new idea of an elliptic trajectory formation of the piezoelectric actuator is investigated in the paper. Shaking beam for the piezoelectric linear ultrasonic motor was introduced to realize this new idea. The principle is based on the excitation of longitudinal and flexural vibrations of the actuator by using two sources of longitudinal mechanical vibrations shifted by $\pi$/2. Mode-frequency and harmonic response analyses of the actuator based on FEM have been carried out. The moving trajectory of the contact point has been defined. Finally, The experimental research of shaking beam has been confirmed an opportunity of the elliptic trajectory reception with the help of one stable mode of the vibrations.
