A high-pressure ball valve was developed, and both the structural strength and sealing performance were assessed based on a nonlinear finite element analysis. Different parts were modeled with solid elements and assembled, taking into account both contact and sliding effects. Three different loading scenarios were analyzed, including a high-pressure closure test and fire and shell test conditions. The structural safety of each part was checked under each loading condition, and the sealing performance was also investigated to validate the performance of the valve.

Deep groove ball bearing is installed in a control element of an integral nuclear reactor, where water is used as coolant and lubricant. This bearing is made of STS440C stainless steel for the raceways and the balls to use in radioactive environment and water. It is known that the retainer design affects ball bearing operability and endurance life, however there is no verified retainer design and material for water lubricated ball bearing. Four kinds of retainers are manufactured for the endurance test of water lubricated deep groove ball bearing. Three of them are commercially developed types and the other is designed for this research. It is verified that ball bearings with steel pressed and general plastic retainer can not survive to required life in the water, however bearings with machined type and cylinder type retainer can survive. This proves that one of the major design parameters for water lubricated ball bearing is retainer type and material. In this paper, experimental research of endurance test for water-lubricated ball bearing are reported.

Currently existing high-accuracy and high-speed die sets used in reciprocal press create scratches at the surface of guide posts, steel balls, and bushes due to vertical movement of balls with point-contacts between inner surface of bushes and guide posts. Consequently, accuracy of the die set and the life span of the metal mold are reduced. However, those scratches could reduce the pre-load of the steel ball. This research designed and developed a groove-type die set which improves life span of the die set by eliminating point-contacts of steel balls with guide posts. The guide post consisted of a steel-ball retainer, a steel-ball retainer stopper, a guide bush, a guide pin, a snap ring, and a spring. The steel-ball retainer has 72 holes with 8 columns of 9 holes in each column. The inner surface of the guide bush was grinded(surface roughness: $Ra\;\\;0.2{\mu}m$, accuracy: $0\;{\sim}\;-0.002mm$) after NC turning and heat treatment. Also, a line of small intermediate pocket was processed inside of the guide bush for lubrication and elimination of foreign materials. Guide grooves of steel balls were processed using a wire EDM(Electrical Discharge Machining) after heat treatment. With such a design of the guide post stated above, loads against steel balls could be dispersed greatly by the line contacts through the guide groove between the guide post and the guide bush, and the life span of the guide post could be expanded semi-permanently.

탄도 수정탄은 기존의 포탄에 조종 kit를 장착하여 목표를 정밀 타격할 수 있게 하는 무기 체계이다. 롤제어시스템은 조종 kit의 구성품으로 유도조종부와 탄체부 사이에 위치하며 포발사시 횡방향으로 5,000g 상당의 가속도 하중을 받게 된다. 따라서 내고충격 설계를 하는게 중요하다. 선진국에서는 탄도 수정탄의 개발과정에서 실사격 또는 포발사 회수 시스템을 이용하여 부품의 성능 및 강도를 평가하고 있으나 많은 시간과 비용이 든다는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 CAE 해석적 방법으로 설계단계에서 롤제어시스템에 대한 충격 강도 평가를 할 수 있도록 해석 모델을 개발하였다. 충격 현상을 구현하기 위하여 Explicit code를 이용한 Dynamic 해석 기법을 적용하였고, 고변형률 물성 특성을 Johnson-Cook material model을 이용하여 구현하였다. 또한 베어링을 인너, 아우터 레이스, 리테이너, 볼 등으로 상세적으로 구현하여 충격시 베어링의 거동 특성이 분석될 수 있도록 하였다. 개발된 해석 모델은 가스건 충격시험을 통해 그 신뢰성이 있음을 검증하였다.
