Architectural fabrics were continuously developed on their unique performance. Architects and Engineers designed them for the application of important buildings around the world despite the symptom that Architectural fabric sizes from manufactures are smaller than the application sizes. Recently although the well-known method used to weld Architectural fabrics to enlarge their size is the high frequency welding there were some application issues. To mitigate those issues the researcher created the hot air welding to replace the high frequency welding in consideration on the failing loads of welded seams which are variable factors of the failing loads to indicate the weld strength and it is crucial for the Architectural fabric application. This research presents the comparison of failing load of weld seams between the hot air welding and high frequency welding by the test of Taguchis Orthogonal arrays L25 method. The test results demonstrated that Architectural fabrics welded by the hot air welding has the highest failing loads of wrap equal to 95.38 kN/m and the highest failing loads of weft at 86.17 kN/m. Conversely Architectural fabrics welded by the high frequency welding has the highest failing loads of wrap equal to 101.37 kN/m and the highest failing loads of weft at 97.78 kN/m. Based on a forementioned results there is no significant difference from both welding methods and thus concluded that the hot air welding could be used to replace the high frequency welding method.

The purpose of the research is to devise and implement for testing the ability to absorb energy from vibration. The results are obtained from simulating the operating status of small machines. In order to get the mechanical force from the vibrating of the machine by using piezoelectric materials (PZT) It was found that the size of the piezoelectric materials used in each condition affected the energy absorption. There are variables interested in different diameters at 27 and 35 millimeters. The result shows that the dielectric displacement is directly proportional to the force used but is inversely proportional to the size of the cross-sectional area of the piezoelectric material. In addition the ability to absorb energy in one second is 4.51 volts and has a maximum energy of 7.4 x10 -8joules.

This research aims to study and compare the test results obtained from the rolling resistance tester of automobile tires based on force method and torque method system. The four newly manufactured tires were sampled from two tire classes namely passenger car tires (Class C1) and light truck tires (Class C2). The tire rolling resistance test according to the international standard UN ECE Regulation No.117 was used as an important research process. The experimental work discovers that the rolling resistance of the same tire obtained from the test between the two different methods of testing machines was not more than 6 percent different. The testing results that used the torque method system calculation are high reliability because of the principle of calculation from the measurement value directly results in. and suitable for research testing. However the force method tester can perform more than a tire simultaneous test which is suitable for working in industrial applications where time is limited.

The objectives of this research were to study the cost structure of rice cultivation with the activity-based costing method and to compare the cost structure of rice cultivation with the activity-based costing method in Chaiyaphum Province. The sample of this research was 50 rice farmers in Ban Khwao District and 50 rice farmers in Khon Sawan District. A questionnaire was used to collect data. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics including percentage average standard deviation and t-test dependent samples. The results of this study showed that the cost structure of rice cultivation using the activity-based costing system method in Chaiyaphum province consisted of direct material cost direct labor cost and production cost. The direct material cost structure of Ban Khwao district was 232945 baht meanwhile the direct material cost structure of Khon Sawan district was 167850 baht. The direct labor cost of Ban Khwao district was 503600 baht meanwhile direct labor cost of Khon Sawan district was 473250 baht. The production cost of Ban Khwao district was 122610 baht meanwhile the production cost of Khon Sawan district was 121320 baht. The comparison of cost structure of rice cultivation with the activity-based costing method of Chaiyaphum Province showed that total cost of Ban Khwao district was 861605 baht meanwhile total cost of Khon Sawan district was 764970 baht. This implied that total cost of Ban Khwao district was higher than that of Khon Sawan district.

Rail transport is a type of transportation that strongly influences economic due to its ability to transport a large number of passengers and products per trip relying on diesel-electric engines. The objectives of this thesis were set to investigate and develop the electrical performance tracking system of long-distance diesel electric locomotives and compare the electrical performance measured by the diesel electric locomotive performance tracking system and measured from the measuring instrument at Diesel Engine Maintenance Station in Bang Sue. The electric diesel locomotive no. 4513 (Cummins KTA50-L) was selected as the study subject of the experimentation. The results showed that the power loss of the diesel electric locomotive from the conversion of alternating current to direct current was inversely proportional to the engine speed. The power losses between the low and high engine speeds were equal to 77.11 and 2.49 percent respectively. The above data reflects the limitation of diesel electric engine performance and should lead to the construction of a database for making decision on the right engine selection suitable for the towing load of the locomotive.
