TSME-ICoME 2011

PREFACE

..............It is my great pleasure to present this formal collection of the Proceedings of the, 2 nd TSME International Conference on Mechanical Engineering (TSME-ICoME 2011) which is held in Sheraton Krabi Resort Beach, Krabi, Thailand during October 19-21, 2011. The TSME-ICoME 2011 was the second in the well-established series of conferences held every year since 2010 which sponsored by the Thai Society of Mechanical Engineers (TSME) with the collaborations from ASME, IMechE, and JSME (Thailand Chapters). It brought together leading national and international experts presenting papers on state-of-the-art research associated with the theoretical, experimental, and applied aspects of the main and related disciplines of mechanical engineering. The topic areas cover the whole spectrum of mechanical engineering, which include, but are not limited to: Aerospace and Marine Engineering, Applied Mechanics, Materials and Manufacturing, Dynamic System, Robotics and Control, Energy Technology and Management, Thermal Systems and Fluid Mechanics and Biomechanics.
I am pleased to note, however, that TSME-ICoME 2011 has succeeded in attracting the most papers and the most participants despite the formidable competition! With the initial number of submitted abstracts of around 260, close to 170 full papers were reviewed. A preprint volume of all manuscripts was prepared on CD-ROM and distributed to participants at the conference. Information on TSME-ICoME 2011 is available at the Conference website: http://rcme.engr.tu.ac.th
..............As the Chairperson of the TSME-ICoME 2011 and on behalf of the organizing committee, I wish to express my sincere thanks to the distinguished keynote speaker, the contributing authors, all the session chairs and the participants. I would also like to thank all members of the International Organizing Committee, Conference Program Committee and all members of Mechanical Engineering Department, Kasetsart University and King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi. My thanks are also due to a number of reviewers who helped tirelessly with the abstract and manuscript review processes. This form of assistance is indeed heavily responsible for the technical success of TSME-ICoME 2011. I am grateful to our sponsors, including National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA), Alpine Electronic Air Filter, Kinetics Corporation Limited Thailand and Metal Work S.p.a. My appreciation also goes to a number of graduate students of Research Center of Microwave Utilization in Engineering (RCME), Mechanical Engineering Department, Thammasat University for their continuing help and hard work to organize the event.

Letter from TSME President

..............On behalf of Thai Society of Mechanical Engineers (TSME), I am grateful to the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Kasetsart University for their dedication to make the 25th ME-NETT conferences successful. We appreciate the support from our partner organizations; The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME), the Institute of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) , and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Also,thank to the sponsors for financial support our conference. Finally, my gratitude also goes to all the committee especially the chairman, Prof. Dr. PhadungsakRatanadecho, and his staff for all the hard work for the international conference TSME-ICoME 2011.
..............Additionally, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all the authors and participants of this 2nd TSME-ICoME. We hope that this conference will be useful to the research and development in the field of mechanical engineering and all of you will have a wonderful experience with this fruitful conference, and at the same time enjoy the sights of Krabi in Thailand.

Sincerely,

Letter from JSME President

..............On behalf of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME), I would like to celebrate the opening of the Second TSME International Conference on Mechanical Engineering organized by TSME and in cooperation with ASME, IMechE and JSME. Furthermore I cannot help expressing my deepest gratitude for kind support and encouraging message given from all over the world to Japan facing with the historical disaster that occurred on 11th March of this year. We have still been in the great difficulties but I believe that we can overcome with the support from people around the world in not the distant future.
After the disaster happened we immediately launched committees working on investigation of the damage and making proposals for the future in order to fulfill our responsibility as a group of professional mechanical engineers. We keep doing our best in order to make our activities to be help to revival of Japan and respond to international accountabilities.
..............Not only activities in Japan but also publicizing information globally are our significant duty. I would like to emphasize the importance of international cooperation among academic societies. Since 2009 when the JSME International Chapter Thai Section was launched, JSME and TSME have kept good relationship with each other. Last year at the opening ceremony of 1st TSME-ICoME, Prof. Yoichiro Matsumoto, former president of JSME, gave speech to congratulate TSME on the opening of the conference. I hope to keep the tie with TSME and develop it into stronger one.
It is my great pleasure to present at this successful conference and to communicate with many of participants gathered globally. Thank you for inviting us to and hosting this great conference. I wish that all the participants will enjoy joining and fruitful success will be provided through 2nd TSME-ICoME.

Ir. P.E. Chong Regional Chairman South.East.Asia IMechE	Dr. Satesh Namasivayam Regional Young Members Rep South.East.Asia IMechE	Mr. Wynand Wessels Corresponding Member IMechE Thailand	Dr. Paul Bland Member IMechE Thailand

..............The Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), Thailand Group, on behalf of the Regional Chairman and the Young Members Representative of the IMechE of South East.Asia Region, wishes to reaffirm our support of the continuing development of this conference and look forward to enhancing our co-operation with all parties involved.
..............This year IMechE reorganised its international structure into seven regions worldwide and South East Asia is one of the Regional Group, Chaired by Ir P.E. Chong and Dr. Satesh Namasivayam as the Regional Young Members Representative. This emphasises the growing importance of the region, and a commitment to supporting the conference as part of the IMechE’s activities in the region.
..............This last year has seen some horrific natural disasters and tragedy underscoring the need for global co-operation and the important role that Professional Engineers can play. We would like to offer our deepest sympathies to all those affected.
..............Dr. Satesh and Dr. Paul Bland will be representing IMechE at the conference and both of them will look forward to meeting you all.
Finally, we wish to thank TSME, Kasetsart University and all the organising team for their hard work.

Yours faithfully,
