Vehicle emissions from highway landuse include different pollutants such as heavy metals, oil and grease and particulates from fuels, brake pad wear and tire wear. Since highways are impervious and have high pollutant mass emissions from vehicular activity, it is considered as stormwater intensive landuses. Therefore this research was performed to understand the magnitude of first flush and to suggest the criteria of first flush for storm runoff management in highways. The fractions of washed-off mass are very high in first 30% of runoff volume, which suggests a definition of first flush. The washed-off mass stabilizes after 30% of the runoff volume and it is apparent that treatment capacity in the early part of a storm is more valuable than treatment capacity in the later part of the storm. Using the criteria of "high" first flush and "medium" first flush, as 50% of the mass in the first 30% of the volume, and 30 to 50% in the first 30% volume, respectively, more than 30% of the storms showed high first flush. A "first flush friendly" best management practice(BMP), meaning a BMP that can treat a high percentage or all of the initial flow, would be advantageous up to 80% of the events.

The development of the environment-friendly tire that meets the standard requirements according to tire labeling system can be improved through using highly homogeneous silica immobilized zinc oxide nanoparticles. In this study, a considerable amount of nanoporous silica was essentially added into nano zinc oxide to improve the physiochemical properties of the formed composite. The introduction of nanoporous silica materials in the composite facilitates the improvement of the wear-resistance and increases the elasticity of the tread. Therefore, the introduction of nanoporous silica can replace carbon black as filler in the formation of composites with desirable properties for conventional green tire. Herein, mesoporous silica immobilized zinc oxide nanoparticle with desirable properties for rubber compounds was investigated. Composites with homogeneous dispersion were obtained in the absence of dispersants. The dispersion stability was controlled through varying the molar ratio, ageing time and mixing order of the reactants. A superior dispersion was achieved in the sample obtained using 0.03 mol of zinc precursor as it had the smallest grain size (50.5 nm) and then immobilized in silica aged for 10 days. Moreover, the specific surface area of this sample was the highest ($649m^2/g$).

Rubber is one of the most commonly used materials in various fields because of its unique viscoelastic properties. Friction occurs when a tire constantly makes contact with the ground. As a result, friction causes wear. The frictional energy caused by friction is a primary factor in the wear mechanism. The frictional energy is affected by various conditions (temperature, roughness of ground, shape of rubber, load, and materials). In this study, the analysis was preceded by considering the vertical load and the horizontal velocity to the rubber using ABAQUS/explicit. The contact pressure, and friction energy are derived using the shear force and slip distance. The actual behavior of the rubber test data were compared with the analysis results.

A child sustained a car tire friction injury and had multiple soft tissue wounds. She had a severe soft tissue defect in the medial foot and ankle aspect which requiring flap coverage. We performed an adipoafscial flap with upside-down pattern for the treatment of the medial foot and ankle soft tissue posttraumatic defect. The flap is based on the perforator artery from the posterior tibial artery. Because it gave a thin coverage for the foot, the patient could walk with normal foot wear.

A stabilizer link connects the stabilizer bar to the lower arm of the suspension. When a vehicle is turning, lateral forces from the tire are transmitted through the stabilizer link into the stabilizer bar. The stabilizer bar will twist, thus adding rigidity to the vehicle body. In this study, the stabilizer link body was manufactured by using composite material with POM-GF25%. Therefore, the strength evaluation of stability link body with composite material carried out from tensile, wear and fatigue test. The tensile strength between the stability link body with composite material and the rod with knurling was the largest of four types of rod. In Analyzing materials property using optical sensing technique of stabilizer link for automobile parts, its has been identified the safety.

자동차의 타이어는 자체의 하중을 지지하고 구동력과 제동력을 노면에 전달 한 뿐만 아니라 노면으로부터 받는 충격을 완화하며 자동차의 진행 반행을 전환, 유지하는 등 자동차에 아주 중요한 역할을 담당하는 부품이다. 하지만 이러한 타이어에 약간의 이상이 발생을 하더라도 운전자 및 동승자의 안전을 영향이 있는 중요한 부품 중의 하나이다. 타이어의 문제는 여러 가지가 있을 수 있지만 일반적으로는 일반 마모와 이상마모로 두가지로 나뉠 것이다. 일반적인 마모는 자동차 주행 중의 마모로 적당한 주행거리에 교체 하면된다 하지만 이상마모는 일반적인 마모와 달리 각 타이어가 따로 마모가 되거나 타이어 일부분이 마모가 되는 것이다. 현재까지 이상마모를 점검하는 방법으로는 정비사가 타이어를 눈과 손으로 점검하여 편마모인지 아닌지를 판단을 하고 있기 때문에, 하지만 편마모인지 아닌지를 점검하는 기준이 다르고 타이어 마다 틀려 운전자는 애매모호한 기준에 당황 할 수밖에 없다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 보완 하고자 복 수개의 레이저 센서를 이용하여 각 타이어 마다 인지 아닌지를 체크 하는 시스템을 설계하여 주관적인 판단을 극복하고 객관적이고 정확한 판단을 내릴 것이다.

After the buyer purchases the product, the seller's role does not end. If the product fails to function properly before the end of the warranty period, the seller is responsible for its repair or replacement under the seller's warranty policy. There are two common types of warranty policies: the free replacement warranty and the rebate warranty. Under the free replacement warranty policy, replacement or repairs during the warranty period are provided by the seller free of charge to the buyer. Under the rebate warranty policy, a failed item is replaced by a new one or is repaired at a cost to the age of the failed item. The rebate warranty is most often used for items such as a battery or an automobile tire which wear out and must be replaced at failure. This paper proposes a easy way of estimating the warranty cost under the free replacement warranty policy assuming an exponential product failure function on repairable products.

차량이 도로를 달리는데 있어서 절대적으로 꼭 필요한 타이어의 기능으로는 자동차의 하중을 지탱하고 자동차의 방향 전환 유지와, 노면 충격을 흡수 완화하며, 엔진의 구동력과 브레이킹 시 제동력을 노면에 전달하는 등의 기능이 있다. 이런 기능을 수행함에 있어 타이어의 상태는 안전과 직결된다고 볼 수 있다. 주행 중 운전자가 아무리 운전을 잘한다고 하더라도 타이어의 불량으로 인한 사고를 방지할 수는 없다. 자동차의 주행 안정성을 위한 타이어의 문제 중 타이어의 편마모는 운전자의 운전습관과 휠 얼라이먼트의 이상 등으로 타이어의 특정 부위가 마모되는 증상을 일컫는데, 현재까지 점검 방법으로는 정비사가 타이어를 눈과 손으로 점검하여 판단하고 있어서 점검하는 기준이 주관적이며, 정확하게 검증할 수 없는 것이 현실이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 현실의 애매모호한 주관적인 검증기준의 단점을 보완하고자 타이어의 실제 이미지를 디지털 영상처리 기법을 사용하여 각 타이어의 마모 정도를 체크하여 편마모를 객관적으로 점검할 수 있는 시스템을 설계하고자 한다.

Fretting damage can be observed in automobile and railway vehicle, fossil and nuclear power plant, aircraft etc. In the present study, railway axle material RSA1 used for evaluation of fretting fatigue life. Plain and fretting fatigue tests were carried out using rotary bending fatigue tester with proving ring and bridge type contact pad. Through these test, the following results are obtained: 1) it is found that the fretting fatigue limit of standard specimen decreased about 37% compared to the plain fatigue limit. 2) The early crack of Shinkansen type specimens initiated in contact area and final fractured below samp=214 MPa. 3) The early crack of all TGV type specimens initiated in rounded area and fractured. 4) Tire tracks and rubbed scars were observed in the oblique crack region and fatigue crack growth region of fracture surface. 5) The wear debris is observed on the contact surface, and oblique cracks at an earlier stage are initiated in contact area. These results can be used as useful data in a structural integrity evaluation of railway axle.
