The aim of this research is to create the center of mass testing machine for vehicles with maximum mass 3000 kilograms. By the performance of this machine is able to determine the center of mass 3 axis by horizontal longitudinal and vertical. On the other hand the verities of mass from 50 to 100 kilograms and the several of weight distribution at horizontal and longitudinal are applied to the condition of testing for reasonable to the position of the center of mass. The result of research discovered to the performance of center of mass tester was activated following to test conditions. Furthermore the weight distribution at longitudinal was the highest effect to the horizontal center of mass. By the way the value of weight distribution at horizontal is more effects to the longitudinal center of mass. Moreover increasing of mass was impact to the vertical center of mass and it’s independent to the position of weight distribution.

The objectives of this study were to calculate the probability of type I error power of a test and to compare the performance of three test statistics: Z Student’s t and Welch’s t. Including the recommending the appropriate test statistic. Classification of the population according to five distribution. The ratios of mean group 1 per group 2 were three levels. The ratios of variance group 1 per group 2 were three levels. The sample sizes of two populations were nine sizes. The significance levels that to study were 0.01 and 0.05. The data were simulated by using SAS programming with 1000 replicates. Results of the research were Z test statistic could control the probability of type I error and had higher power of a test than other test statistics but this test is necessary to know the variances of the two groups. Therefore it was appropriate to apply the other test statistics i.e. Student’s t or Welch’s t. If the variances of the two groups were equal Student’s t was a more appropriate test statistic than Welch’s t. But if the variances of the two groups were not equal Welch’s t was a more appropriate. When both sample sizes were large and the population variances were equal we could use any tests since there is no difference in the performance.

Nowadays the automotive industry in Thailand has been widely growing. Brake pad is one of the automotive products that play a vital role in automotive industry because it is the most critical seeurity part. Consequently testing products for quality are extremely requested. However the precise equipment and function tests which show the real effects are not available enough and cost a lot. Therefore they cannot response to the deman in the automotive industry development. In this study the frictional test jigs for friction measurement JIS K7125 [5] and the clutch facings for automobiles JIS D4311 [6]. A study of the frictional test emphasizes on the static friction (μs) and kinetic friction (μk) in different condition. There are 3 specimens of brake pad supposted by the industry company. These specimens were tested and the results from the pin-ondisk and those from the friction testing were compared. The results revealed the correspondence of the two-sided results but the pin-on-disk’s friction coefficient is more than the friction testing’s friction coefficient by 19.56%. Moreover the coefficient of friction varies according to the temperature Besides the static friction (μs) is likely more than kinetic friction (μk) and tends to differ considerably under high pressure condition.

The purpose of this research was to construct the rotating bending fatigue testing machine for metal material to find out the built-in machine performance and compare it with machines that meet international standards. The machine built into a compact machine using weight knob for a heavy load in testing. It can test the force range 50-300 Newton (N) the motor is a 1 HP transmitter with a speed of 2800 rpm. Start by pressing the Start button to release the weight that sends power to the workpiece and attend a sensor counting is available to detect the lack of testing material. For the efficiency performance of the machine uses 10 piece steel shafts diameter of 8 mm according to the standard of the material fatigue tester by independent end bend rotation. For testing to compare with the test international standard machine also uses 10 piece steel shafts using force 150 N. For the analysis to test statistical hypotheses with the Minitab computer program at the significance level of 0.05 it was found that the values obtained from be made the rotating bending fatigue testing machine for metal material there is no difference with standard machines from statistically significant. All values are within the set limits. In conclusion the machine was created to be as effective as the international standard machine.
