Nowadays an automotive industry steadily has been growing and playing a major role on economy development for many years. The crash box is one of the most important parts for safety but it was found that the crash boxes manufactured domestically are not met international standard requirements. This is due to process and material limitation. This process for automotive safety test requires high budget and there is unclear approach for specific test. Therefore a study of crash boxes referred to energy absorption project was conducted as an alternative choice of testing. Regarding to the problems as addressed above this project was aimed to design and test crash boxes which come in various structures; simple type corrugated type and honeycomb type of crash box. In addition it was also emphasized in studying energy absorption behavior and physical deformation of crash boxes after dynamic and static energy being applied. Numeric simulation and static test methodology of front collision were applied for these tests in reference to USA NCAP standard for automobile collision test. Testing all types of crash boxes indicated that the corrugated type was able to absorb energy at 2.8% and 5.9% higher than honeycomb type and rectangular type respectively. This is capable to pick up stress and strain continually and effecting to more energy absorb than another type. Additionally this corrugated structure is feasible and suitable for crash box design in automotive manufacturing.

This research report is manipulated that summarized the moment of research project in the subject of “The optimal image processing for paddy studies: Variety classification and rice kernel damage inspection”. This project had been take time in 12 mounts. We focused on rice variety classification and rice kernel damage inspection. We also investigated the apparent friction of rice surface. Results showed that area and size were the quantities that have the potential to classify rice variety and also rice kernel damage inspection. In addition we also found that geometric mean diameter performed characteristic to apparent friction of rice surface in kerosene. These results have the potential to be the basis information in terms of developing instrument for quality control and variety classification of cereal.

This research is designing and construction an apparatus of deflection of fixed end beam under uniformly distribution load. SolidWorks program is used for structure designing and CosmosWorks program is used for strength of structure analysis. Deflection and strain of beam were compared with the result of mathematical model according to function stress principal. Error of mathematical model result does not exceed 10%. Therefore this apparatus can be used as prototype and produced for education purpose.

The purposes of this research were to create and evaluate the effectiveness of Computer Assisted Instruction about Tensile test The CAI consisted of 9 lessons The sample was 20 first year diploma students in Tool and die make Department Faculty of Production Technology. Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon. First of all the students did the pre-test and then they studied via CAI. After that they did the post-test. After using CAI the result was evaluated to find effectiveness and learning achievement was analyzed. The finding showed that CAI effectiveness reached the standard of 90/90 Further more the students knowleage increased at significant level of 0.01
