Roof cladding of buildings are required for the measures about the 'screw pull-out' which causes the casualties and the property damage by typhoons. In this study, the pull-out resistance was increased by increasing the penetration depth of the screw installing a ironware called 'insert nut' on the roof cladding frame. Tensile tests were conducted to compare the pull-out strengths of a general screw-joint and a nut insert joint. Roof cladding that is actually being used in the field was produced using the 'solid work' and then the roof claddings using a general screw-joint and a nut insert joint were compared by a static test and dynamic test.

In order to increase the lifetimes of cold forging dies, insert rings are generally used. In this study, an insert ring and shrunk ring of the flange upsetting die were designed for the cold forging of an automotive wheel nut. The Stress distribution occurring in the die during forging was simulated using a commercial finite element analyzing program. The effects of the fitting interference and inclined angle of the insert ring on the compressive stress of the die inside were also investigated. The simulated data were compared with the real lifetimes of the forging dies. The maximum compressive stress acting on the edge of a forging die should have the most influence on die lifetime, an idea which could help develop the die design with the longest lifetime. The design of the most optimal forging die with the longest lifetime is made possible by analyzing the maximum inner pressure and principal stress between the shrunk ring and insert ring.
