현재 전세계적으로 에너지 절감과 지구환경 보호를 위한 이산화탄소 가스 배출의 저감하는 피할 수 없는 생산제조산업 분야의 높은 장벽으로 다가서고 있다. 공작 기계류의 진보는 날이 갈수록 거듭되어 다양한 기술의 융복화 등 궁극적인 첨단 고도화에 이르고 있으나, 이와 같은 문제점들을 기본적으로 안고 있는 것은 사실이다. 그 대응 방안으로는 소성 성형 방식으로의 가능한 한 대체화가 될 수 있으며, 또한 기존에는 스프링 백 등의 고연성 등으로 인하여 성형이 곤란하여 기피하던 난성형재도 보다 경량화 등의 추세에 대응하기 위하여 불가피하게 사용되기 위해서도 획기적인 소성 성형 시스템을 필요로 한다. 이와 같은 차원에서 최근에 에코 융합화를 모색하는 새로운 서보모터 구동형 프레스 시스템의 도입이 적극적으로 이뤄지고 있으나 국내의 경우에는 국산화 개발이 늦어져 고부가가치 제품에 대한 기술종속성이 우려되고 있다. 최근 한국기계연구원을 중심으로 산학연 컨소시엄 형태로 산업원천기술개발사업의 일환인 지식기반 자율제어형 초정밀 디지털 서보프레스 시스템 개발에 관한 연구가 진행중이며, 기술선도국의 보유 기술 수위를 넘은 에코/정보/지식 융합화 모델을 궁국적으로 개발하고자 한다. 본문에서는 이에 대한 현재까지의 개발 진행 내용을 정리하여 간단히 요약하여 나타내었다.

Subsea pipelines have an important role in the overall tasks of offshore oil and gas production but arc exposed to various hazards with high potential risks of damage resulting in serious economic loss and impact on ocean environment. In this paper, the dynamic free span is analysed, which is one of main risk factors against the safety of subsea pipelines and the allowable length of dynamic free span which is important for the design of subsea pipelines is determined. The allowable free span length is examined by considering the relationship between vortex shedding frequency and natural frequency of pipeline free span, and the variation of the allowable length is analysed for different boundary conditions of pipe ends. The free span is regarded as a beam on elastic foundations and the boundary condition of the beam is generalized by modelling as restrained by linear and rotational spring at each end. A non-dimensionalized curve is obtained to facilitate the determination of exact allowable length of dynamic free span for subsea pipelines and is applied to the pipelines which is to be installed in the gas fields of the south of East Sea of Korea.

In order to respond to carbon neutrality and climate change in agriculture, agricultural machinery, which has been developed centered on internal combustion engines, needs to be converted to an electric-based technology that does not emit greenhouse gases. In this study, simulations for electric UTV suspension design were performed to reduce vibration and shock of electric UTV for agricultural use and to improve driving stability and control performance of the vehicle. The simulation was performed by dividing the tolerance load of the vehicle body and the loaded load state. The range of motion of the suspension spring of UTV is within 30% of the range of motion under condition B under tolerance, the displacement of the UTV suspension with full load is reduced from 264mm to 121mm, and the damping speed is 260mm/s to 300mm/s that it can be seen that the range of motion is within 60%. Suspension design of electric UTV for multi-purpose agricultural work is a very important factor for maintaining agricultural work ability in towing work such as tillage as well as driving and terrain adaptation. The results of this study can be usefully used to determine the spring parameters with the appropriate damping range so that the electric UTV can be used for various agricultural tasks.

Breaking time is an important performance indicator of a circuit breaker. Thus, the operating mechanism of the circuit breaker should be optimized for reducing the breaking time. The operating mechanism in a gas circuit breaker is made up of several latches. Specifically, the geometry and relative positions of latches influence the dynamic behaviors of the operating mechanism. In this study, a three-stage latch operating mechanism is analyzed on the basis of the verified multibody dynamics model constructed using the MSC.ADAMS program. The relative positions and lengths of latches are selected as design variables. The dominant design variables are selected by a design study. Optimization is performed using a genetic algorithm (GA). The study results demonstrate that the performance of the circuit breaker improves by about 22.5.

Experimental works were carried out to evaluate how the lapse of time affects the performance characteristics and the service life of low pressure LPG regulators for domestic use. Experimental results showed that the operating pressure of safety devices deviated from the opening pressure value and the closing pressure value from just 1 year after service, and the operating pressure of regulators used for 7${\~}$8 years notably deviated from the reference value of the adjusting pressure and the closing pressure. And the material properties of springs and diaphragms deteriorated after 5${\~}$6 years of service. Thus, it is estimated that low pressure LPG regulators have approximately 6 years of service life. However, it is highly recommended that regulators exceeding 5 years of service should be replaced for the safety of consumer and accident prevention even if they are operating normally.

This study reports the combustion characteristics, such as burner temperature and the concentration of exhausted gas ($O_2$, $CO_x$, $NO_x$) due to the different types and pitches of the fuel supply feeder of the wood pellet boiler. The 1st grade wood pellets composed of mainly larch have been used for the experiment. In case of using the spring feeder, mean temperature of burner was approximately $821.76^{\circ}C$, and the mean concentration of oxygen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide were approximately 8.88%, 93.35ppm, 12.15% and 139.83 ppm, respectively. The test result with the spring feeder was shown to approach the condition of complete combustion compared to that of a screw feeder and were in good agreement with authentication judgement standard. Furthermore, the combustion efficiency was improved according to the growth of screw pitch. The control of air flow rate from the blower and ventilator is needed to achieve the complete combustion.

Longitudinal strain is an important component of seismic design for buried pipelines. A design procedure which determines the wavelength from site natural period and shear wave velocity of the soil layer and closed-form solutions of pipelines under a harmonic motion is typically used in design. However, the applicability of the procedure has not yet been thoroughly investigated. In this paper, displacement-time histories extracted from 1D site response analyses are used in 3D shell-spring model to accurately predict the response of pipelines. The results are closely compared to those from the design procedure. The area of interest is East Siberia. Performing a site response analysis to determine site specific displacement time history is highlighted. The site natural period may be used to predict the predominant period of the acceleration time history, but cannot be used to estimate the predominant period of the displacement time history. If an accurate estimate of the predominant period of the displacement time history is provided, it is demonstrated that the design equation can be successfully used to predict the response of pipelines.

This paper presents the evaluation of LPG (Liquefied petroleum gas) regulators for home use. For the evaluation, several properties of the regulators were experimentally analyzed, such as the operation of safety device, the adjusting and lock-up pressure, the adjusting spring and the diaphragm, with respect to the used time of the regulators. Experimental results showed that the initial operation performance of regulators were degraded with increase of the service time and also showed that the degradation of the performance and material property could become serious after six-year-use of the regulator.

Gas springs have been widely used in motor vehicles as well as in most areas of industry. Instead of coil springs, these gas springs are easily opreated to open(extension process) or close (compression process) the doors because $N_2$ gas with high pressure and oil are charged in tube. Most of manufacturers are using the trial ＆ error method in order to decide its specification(reaction force, damping force), which tends to waste time and money. Therefore, gas springs have been improved by properly changing the control pressure of $N_2$ Gas with its mounting location and weight to maximize its effect and to minimize its space. Although it has been researched on damping structure to minimize impact which is applied to vehicle when its back door is fully opened, the characteristics of damping structure are not known clearly. There(ore, this paper will not only clearly define the effect of important factors(open ＆ close force)for gas springs through theoretical analysis but also provide optimum design specification through development of program to avoid traditional method of specification determination such as the trail It error method which is widely used in whole industries including automotive industry.
