Long-fiber-reinforced composites have the advantages of cost-competitiveness and high degree of freedom of molding compared to continuous-fiber-reinforced composites. On the other hand, it is difficult to ensure uniform characteristics due to the randomly distributed fiber orientation incurred from the process of manufacturing intermediate materials. In this study, the effect of the directionality of LFPS (Long Fiber Prepreg Sheet) materials on the mechanical properties was analyzed. The eddy current measurement method was used to analyze fiber orientations, and tensile and compression tests on LFPS materials were performed according to ASTM standards. In addition, the test results and theoretical values of LFPS materials were verified using the ROM (rule-of-mixtures) theory. These results confirmed the effect of fiber orientation on mechanical properties of discontinuous-fiber-reinforced composites.

이 글은 소음 진동분야에 종사하는 분들에게 압전형 지능구조물을 소개하면서 소음 분야의 응용예 및 활용 가능성 그리고 앞으로의 과제들을 알리고자 한다. 지능 구조물이란 감지기(sensor)와 가진기(actuator) 그리고 제어기(control logic)가 구조물에 합해져서 능동적인 기능을 갖고 있는 것으로서 주위 환경의 변화를 감지하여 이에 대처하는 거동을 하는 구조물이다. 예를 들어, 기계적인 지능구조물은 그 위치 나 속도 또는 구조물의 강성도나 감쇠 성질을 변화시키는 구조물이다. 따라서 이러한 적응력을 갖춘 구조물은 많은 공학 분야에 큰 영향을 주고 있으며 소음제어 분야에 있어서도 큰 기대가 된다.

This study was carried out to evaluate indirect methods of engine torque measurement. Three indirect methods based on throttle valve opening, exhaust gas temperature and inlet air pressure were compared. The indirect method based on throttle valve opening appeared to be the most satisfactory in terms of accuracy and response time. The discrepancies between the direct method and the indirect method based on throttle valve opening in measuring engine torque were 2% on t he average.

석탄화력발전소의 효율향상은 스팀온도 및 압력의 증가를 통해 꾸준하게 이루어지고 있으며, 이러한 고효율의 화력발전은 사용 연료의 감소 뿐 아니라 $SO_x$, $NO_x$, $CO_2$ 등의 환경 가스배출을 감소시키는 효과도 있다. 이에 따라 운전조건을 고온, 고압화하려는 노력이 전 세계적으로 꾸준히 전개되고 있으며, 경제성 있고 높은 고온특성을 갖는 터빈 및 보일러 소재확보 여부가 발전소 건설 가능성을 결정하는 가장 주요한 요소 중 하나로 작용하고 있다. 본 고에서는 USC(Ultra Super Critical) 조건에 사용하기 위한 소재의 개발과정과 현대 사용되고 있는 다양한 발전용 고온소재의 특징에 대해 기술하고자 한다.

고속절삭을 통해서 가공능률과 가공정밀도의 향상을 도모할 수 있기 때문에, 최근에는 공작기계용 고속주축계가 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 주축 선단부에 무거운 척과 공작물이 위치하는 선반용 고속주축계의 동특성을 해석하기 위해서 유한요소법을 도입하였다. 특히 세장비가 비교적 작은 주축은 Timoshenko 이론으로, 폭이 유한한 베어링은 반경방향 외에도 모멘트방향의 강성 및 감쇠특성을 가지고 있는 것으로 모델화하였다. 그리고 선반용 고속주축계의 고유진동수와 감쇠비에 대한 주축회전수, 베어링의 지지특성, 베어링의 간격, 주축재료의 내부감쇠율 등의 영향을 고찰하였다.

The Formulation of a new Hermite straight beam element to eliminate the shear locking is presented. All the kinematic variables in Timoshenko beam are reinterpreted by the consideration of equilibrium equations together. It shows that when the modified transverse displacement field is used the Timoshenko beam looks apparently the same as the Euler beam. The element is formulated for the modified transverse displacement field to have the same interpolation scheme as that in the Hermite element. Transformation Matrix which relates a modified nodal vector with nonmodified one is also introduced to deal with general boundary conditions. Several examples are demonstrated and discussed for the purpose of verification of the concepts employed. The solutions obtained reveal that the element describes of the beam quite correctly, showing no locking and that it is also applicable to the analysis of both thin and thick beams.

Remote handling manipulators are widely used for performing hazardous tasks, and it is essential to ensure the reliable performance of such systems. Toward this end, tendon-driven mechanisms are adopted in such systems to reduce the weight of the distal parts of the manipulator while maintaining the handling performance. In this study, several approaches for the design of a gripper system for a tendon-driven remote handling system are introduced. Basically, this gripper has an underactuated spring mechanism that is combined with a slave manipulator triggered by a master operator. Based on the requirements under the specified tendon-driven mechanism, the connecting position of the spring system on the gripper mechanism and kinematic influence coefficient (KIC) analysis are performed. As a result, a suitable combination of components for the proper design of the target system is presented and verified.

The steel grating discussed in this study is a drain cover that enhances the rigidity of the steel frame using an inclined inflow tract for wastewater, facilitates smooth drainage, and prevents the escape of bad smell from the drain. Recently, the urban problem of bad smell in sewerage lines has been hindering the improvement of living standards. Moreover, the frequent failure of existing products deters bad smell prevention measures and results in administrative power and budget wastage. The pressure to reduce budgets propels the increased demand for functional steel grating. Thus, this study focused on optimizing the design parameters of a steel grating by simultaneously considering its rigidity and drainage efficiency.

Fiber reinforced composites fabricated by the resin film infusion (RFI) process, which is one of the outof-autoclave process, have the advantage of significantly reducing the processing cost in large structures while having excellent mechanical properties and uniform impregnation of the resin. In this study, we applied RFI carbon fiber composites to unmanned aerial vehicle structures to improve structural safety and achieve weight reduction. The tensile test results showed that the strength was 46% higher than that of generic T300 grade plain weave carbon fiber composites. As a result of the layup design and finite element analysis of the composite wing structure using the above material properties, the wing tip deflection is decreased by 31%, the structural safety factor is increased by 28% and the weight of the entire structure can be reduced by more than 10% compared to the reference model using glass fiber composite material.

Pyrotechnic separation devices have been widely used as holding and release mechanism for deployable appendage. However, pyro-shock can cause temporal or permanent damage on shock sensitive components such as electronics, mechanism, and brittle components. This study proposed a low-stiffness blade based passive shock absorber using a multi-layered stiffener laminated with viscoelastic acrylic tapes for reducing transmitted pyro-shock upon explosion of pyrotechnic separation devices. The multi-layered structure with viscoelastic tape has high-damping characteristics to effectively secure structural integrity of low-stiffness blades under the launch environment. The design effectiveness was verified through a shock test by dropping a pendulum. The structural integrity of the shock absorber under a launch environment was evaluated through structural analysis under load conditions with a deployable payload.
