마이크로 일렉트로닉스(Microelectronics)를 중심으로 하는 산업혁명이 진행되고 있는 시점에서 전자, 광학 또는 신소재 부품에 대한 형상과 치수 또는 표면거칠기에 대한 정확도와 정밀도가 엄격하게 요구되고 있다. 예를 들어 경취 재료인 반도체의 웨이화( w-afer), 수정진동자 자기헷트, 비구면렌즈 또는 연질 금속의 레이저빔(Laser Beam) 프린터 용 포리곤 밀러(Polygon Mirror), 자기디스크, 복사기용 드럼(drum), 레저기기용 반사밀러 등 가공정밀도를 향상시키기 위해서는 과거의 가공기술을 대치할 수 있는 새로운 초정밀가공 기술의 도입이 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 경취성 재료의 초정밀가공은 지금까지는 랩핑(lappi- ng), 폴리싱(polishing)의 가공기술이 주체였으나, 최근의 엄격한 부품정밀도에 대응하기 위하여 전가공을 초정밀 연삭가공으로 평면도,표면거칠기, 가공변질층을 향상시키고 다듬질 가공은 폴리싱으로 하여 표면거칠기를 향상시켜야 하는 가공기술이 보급되고 있다. 일반연질 금속의 다듬질가공은 유리지립을 이용하는 랩핑이나 폴리싱으로 다듬질 가공을 진행하고 있었 으나 형상정도와 표면정밀도를 동시에 얻는다는 것이 어렵고 또 가공시간이 너무 길어서 매우 고가인 것이 되고 말았다. 그러나 유리에서 연질금속으로 재료를 전환시키고 저가격화, 양산 화의 요구, 정밀도 향상과 부품의 안정화 등등 여러 이유로서 다아아몬드(Diamond) 공구로 mirror surface 를 만드는 초정밀 경면연삭 가공기술(precision turning with diamond)의 발달 로 이제는 완전히 새로운 가공기술로 대치되고 말았다. 다이아몬드에 의한 초정밀절삭은 공구 끝이 매우 예리하고 마모가 매우 적은 단결정 다이아몬드를 이용하고 절삭가공 기계는 운동정도 를 피가공물에 정확히 전사 시키는 방법이며 따라서 가공기계는 고도의 운동정밀도가 요구되며 그외에 강성, 진동, 열변이, 제어면에서 엄격한 검도가 있어야 한다.

역사적으로 CNC기술이 생산성향상에 기여한바는 매우 크다. 최근에는 고도의 생산성을 추구하는 CNC공작기계는 수요자들의 요구에 부응하여 관련업계는 CNC 기술의 발전을 더욱 가속화 시키고 있다. 오늘날의 CNC는 더욱 향상된 Computer Architecture에 적합한 Software System과 고속, 고집적의 소자기술을 결합한 것이라 볼 수 있으며, 그 결과는 생산을 자동화 하고 전체를 하나의 system화 하려는 요구에 부응하고 유연(Flexible)하며, 사용하기에 편리하고(User-friend- ly), 신뢰성과 높은 생산성을 갖추고 있다. 새로운 CNC 기술이 요구되는 응용분야는 고도로 자동 화 되고 결합 된 FMS에서 부터 단축제어용에 이르기까지 매우 광범위하다. 3축의 Milling, 6축 Machining Center, 전용기 등 Stand-alone 기계들을 위주로한 중소형기계 공장에 적합한 CNC 기술이 개발되고 있는 동시에 CELL LEVEL, 좀더 큰 규모의 FMS 또는 그 이상으로 자동화된 system을 구성하 기 위하여 많은 새로운 기능이 요구되고 종래의 CNC와는 다른 역할의 변화가 필요하다. 실제로는 많은 경우에 이러한 두가지의 응용이 공존하고 있으며, CNC의 기능이나 성능을 희생하지 않고 동일한 Hardware로 여러가지의 응용을 만족시켜야 한다. 생산공정과 생산기술의 변화가 반영되어야 하며, Control 기술도 변화하고 있다. 유연하고 확장가능한 Software, Hardware 구조의 CNC가 실제적으로 가장 Cost-effective한 해결책이다.

Free jet was investigated experimentally and numerically in range of Reynolds number from 9900 to 21000. The working fluid was air; the mean velocity components and turbulent quantities were measured by a hot-wire anemometer. In numerical computations, the governing partial differential equations of elliptic type were solved with conventional k- ${\epsilon}$ turbulence model. The measurements show that the jet increased linearly in flow direction, and that similarity for each turbulent quantity such as Reynolds shear stress, or turbulent kinetic energy was revealed in the fully developed region. The computational results show good agreements with experiments.

In order to control the transient torsional vibration of rotational shaft system, the torsional stiffness of it has been taken into account in modelling the plant. In this paper the observer and controller has been designed in two ways. One is to consider the torsional stiffness and the other is to idealize the rotational shaft as rigid body. The third order observer considering torsional stiffness shows stable response on computer simulation. When the observer is designed on assumption of the rotational shaft being rigid body, the reduced order observer shows stable response whereas the full order observer shows unstable response.

A new analytical method is proposed to monitor the chip form of cutting forces applying the techinque of signal process. Cutting experiments are carried out under various cutting conditons and cutting forces are measured in-processing through Tool Dynamometer. In this report, auto-correlation functions, frequency characteristics of dynamic force, high frequency distribution and Peak/RMS values are calculated from the measured cutting forces, and the concept of method is also discussed. The experimental results show that six types of the form of chips are possible to classify from the signal of cutting forces not related to cutting conditions.

The optimization in the machining process has been a long-standing goal of the manufacturing community. The optimization is composed of two main subjects;one is to select an optimum cutting condition, and the other is to detect the emergency situation and take necessary actions in real-time base. This paper proposes a reliable and practical guide system whose purpose is the optimization of cutting conditions, and the detection of tool failure in the machining process. The optimal cutting conditions are determined through the estimation of tool wear rate and the establishment of access- ible field from the measured cutting temperature and force. Tool breakage is detected by the normal force component acting on minor flank face extracted from on-line sensed feed force and radial force. In experiments, the proposed guide system has proved availability for the decision of reliable cutting conditions for the given tool-work system and the detection of tool breakage in ordinary cutting environments.

This paper describes some development of Computer-Aided Process Planning System for cold-forging of rotationally symmetric parts(soild shape and solid-can combined shape) produced by the presses or formers. Using the developed system, forming sequences for producing final product are generated as graphic forms and process names, preform dimensions and process parameters(load, punch pressure, die pressure) are generated as routing sheets. Konwledges for forming sequence and process parameters are extracted from process limitations, plasticity theories, handbooks, relevent refferences and empirical know-how of experts in cold forging companies. Among extracted knowldeges, general and consistent knowledges are represented as design rules and are constructed as knowledge base. The developed system provides more powerful tool for through checking the producibilities of design, conformation of appropriate forming sequences and discoveries of new possibility. The results of the developed system are in good agreement with the practical data.

The effect of plastic strain on the surface integrity of mild steel (SS 41) was studied. This paper shows that the recrystallization technique is adequate to evaluate the plastic strain in a machined surface experimentally. The relations between the plastic strain and the machining conditions are quantitatively evaluated by using the recrystallization technique. The obtained results are summarized as follows. 1. The surface integrity of steel is considerably influenced by the amount of surface region deformation produced by changes in cutting conditions. 2. The plastic strain in machined surface produced by changes of the cutting conditions is evaluated by the recyrstallization technique. 3. The plastic strain increases with the increase of depth of cut and the decrease of rake angle. 4. When the cutting force is high and the rake angle is small, the value of maximum true strain reaches to high. 5. The maximum true strain is related to the cutting energy, and the values increase with the increase of the unit shear and total engergy in constant depth with the increase of the energy values.

The effects of annealing temperature on the magnetic properties (maximum permeability, coercive force and remanence) and mechanical properties (hardness, tensile strength and elongation at rupture) were analyzed using the nondestructive impulsive magnetic analyzer in a medium carbon cold rolled steel sheet. This nondestructive method was very useful for the analysis of magnetic and mechanical properties of materials. As it was known in the literature, the three distinct processes that indicate the recovery, recrystallization, and grain growth of a metal were measured with the non-destructive analyzer.

An adaptive control scheme has been recognized as an effective approach for a robot manipulator to track a desired trajectory in spite of the presence of nonliearity and parameter uncertainty in robot dynamics model. In this paper, an adaptive control scheme for a robot manipulator is proposed to design robust controller using model reference adaptive control technique and hyperstability theory but it does away with] assumption that the process is characterized by a linear model remaining time invariant during the adaptation process. The performance of controller is demonstrated by the simulation about position and speed control of a six-link manipulator with disturbance and payload variation.

This paper presents the vibrational characteristics of linear damped vibrational systems with a linear dynamic absorber. The amplitude ratios of main vibrational system are derived from the equation of motion for the system, and optimal natural frequency ratio and damping ratio of dynamic absorber are obtained by computer simu- lation, which minimize the amplitude ratio of main vibrational system for the whole range of the frequency ratio. And, the effects of the parameters on the amplitude ratios are investigated. As the results, the effect of the natural frequency ratio on the amplitude ratio of main vibrational system is more important than that of the damping ratio of dynamic absorber as damping ratio of main vibrational system becomes larger. For the case of large damping ration of main vibrational system becomes larger. For the case of large damping ratio of main vibration system, the amplitude ratios are not decreased dramationally in spite of inoreasing mass ratio.
