In this study, to discuss the effect of the boundary between pipeline and clamp support changed by different pressures to the propagation of guided wave in the pipeline is the main idea. In addition, the author simulates the wave propagation situation by using finite element method. In this work, T(0,1) torsional mode was used to discuss when adding different pressures to the clamp support, the change of its reflection coefficients in different frequencies by the axial symmetric property propagates in the cylinder pipe. In the simulation, we take the ¡§fictitious layer¡¨ was used to describe the situation between the clamp support and pipeline when adding different pressures. Moreover, the stiffness normal to the fictitious layer and the stiffness parallel to the fictitious layer were taken as material parameters to achieve the situation between clamp support and pipeline. According to experimental results, when the torque increases, the reflection coefficients will decrease with increasing frequency. The reflection coefficients are about 0.08 to 0.02. By the result of experiment and simulation, one can know that when adding torque on the clamp support increases, the reflection coefficient will decrease. In addition, the author also prove that if we change the stiffness parallel to the fictitious layer material factor, then the T(0,1) guided wave will be more sensitive by its action of particle motion.

In our daily life, we can receive the information about sales promotion usually, and it is confused that research in the past posited sales promotion may erode brand equity. In another aspect, when researching sales promotion, researcher used simple sentence instead of original colorful information, and asked participants imagine the advertisement. We may believe that will be harmful to the credibility. According to the reasons before, this research follow Vidal and Ballester(2005), posited that sales promotion can contribute to build brand equity. This research uses fictitious brand and designs the fictitious advertisement to avoid the effect of stereo type in consumers mind. The outcome of this research suggests that sales promotion actually can contribute to build consumer-based brand equity. If corporation wants to make the brand different from competitors to let consumer identify the brand, it needs to design unique sales promotion.
