We fabricated test samples containing various shape elements and surface roughness checking points for the jewelry cast master patterns by employing the 3D computer aided design (CAD), selective laser sintering (SLS) rapid prototype (RP) with the DuraForm powders. We varied the alignment angle from $0^{\circ}$ to $10^{\circ}$ at a given layer thickness of 0.08 and 0.1mm, respectively, in RP operation. Dimensions of the shape elements as well as values of surface roughness are characterized by an optical microscope and a contact-scanning profilometer. Surface roughness values of the top and vertical face increased as the alignment angle increased, while the other roughness values and shape elements variation were not depending on the alignment angle. The resolution of the shape realization was enhanced as the layer thickness became smaller. The minimum diameter of the hole, common in jewelry design, was 1.2 mm, and the shrinkage became 12% at the 1.6 mm-diameter hole, Our results implied that we face down the proposed design elements with $0^{\circ}$ alignment angle, and consider the shrinkage effect of each shape element in DuraForm RP jewelry modeling.

중품종, 중량생산용의 합리적인 생산 system의 일형태로서 미국 Kearney & Trecker 사가 실용하고 있는 Flexible Manufacturing System(약칭 F.M.S.)을 처음으로 발표한 것은 1960 년대 후반이었다. 그러나 이 FMS도 그 후 얼마동안은 선전마저도 되는일 없이 지내왔다. 그런데 사회의 발전과 더불어 사회의 제품에 대한 요구가 다양화, 단수명화의 방향으로 진보되어, 그 결과, FMS의 중요성이 인식되게 되었다. 그리고 1970 년대후반부터 라고 표현될만한 상황이 일본,미국,서독 등 3개국을 중심으로 표현했다. 당초에는 라고 하는 용어만이 선행한 바람 직하지 못한 점은 있었으나 그후 FMS의 본질을 이해한 System의 도입증가와 함께 FMS 기술도 상당히 발전되어 왔다. 또한 FMS의 가동예의 증가와 더불어 그 도입효과가 눈부시다는 것이 분명해졌다. 이 FMS의 중요성은 , 혹은 라고 하는 말로 집약되는데 당연히 현재로서는 FMS는 공업선진국, 개발 도상국을 막론하고 큰 화제를 불러 일으키고 있다. 따라서 이와같은 중요한 FMS의 상황을 국제적인 관점에서 정확히 파악한다는 것은 매우 중요한 일이다. 그러나 현금에 있어서의 FMS기술의 급속한 진보는 이와같은 관점에서의 상황파악을 매우 어렵게 하고 있다. 이제까지도 예컨데 Scharf와 Schulz, Hutchinson, Spur와 Mertinz 혹은 기계기술협회생산기술조사분과회(일본)의 조사예가 있으나, 상세한 것은 각국별, 혹은 각사별의 해설을 참조하지 않으면 이해할 수 없다. 더우기 이제까지는 기계가공용 FMS가 주체였으나 현대에 이르러서는 FMS의 적용범위는 판금가공, 단조가공, Plastic사출성형가공, 조립 등에 널리 이용되어 왔기때문에 점점 그 현상의 파악이 어려워지고 있다. 따라서, 여기서는 그와같은 FMS의 현상과 장래의 발전동향을 간단히 이해할 수 있도록 개설하고자 한다.

Attritor mill로 분쇄처리된 $UO_2$-30mo1%CeO2$_2$(masterblend) 분말을 turbular mixer와 attritor mill 에서 $UO_2$와 혼합, $UO_2$-5mol%CeO$_2$ 분말을 만들고, 이를 통해 분말처리 및 소결분위기가 각 성형체의 소결거동에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. $UO_2$-30mo1%CeO$_2$ 분말을 attritor mill로 1 시간동안 분쇄하면 평균 분말크기는 3.7 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 이었다. Turbular mixer에서 만들어진 $UO_2$-5mol%CeO$_2$ 분말이 H$_2$ 및 Ar-4%H$_2$ 분위기에서 소결되면, 분말처리 방법에 따라서 소결밀도는 각각 10.07-10.11, 9.81-9.85 g/㎤이었다. 이러한 방법으로는 masterblend 분쇄처리 과정에 만들어진 agglomerate 는 소결이 거의 이루어지지 않아서 소결체내에 그대로 잔존되었다. Agglomerate는 그 내부에 균열이 생성되어 있었고, 또한 $UO_2$ 지지내의 확산도 방해하여 기지내부에도 큰 기공들이 많이 분포하였다. 희석혼합을 turbular mixer 대신 attritor mill에서 하게되면, 밀도는 H$_2$ 및 Ar-4%H$_2$ 분위기에서 각각 10.54, 10.39 g/㎤ 이었으며, 결정립크기는 5, 9.5 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 이었다. 이 경우에는 소결체내에 agglomerate가 거의 잔존하지 않았다.

Recently, electric vehicles and hybrid cars are being promoted as alternatives to reduce automobile emissions. Generally, thin sheet materials such as aluminum alloy AA300X and cold-rolled steel sheet such as JIS-G-3141 are used for the container for the lithium-ion secondary batteries. In this study, a multi-stage deep drawing process is used to produce a rectangular cup from thin stainless steel sheet material, SUS409L, with an initial blank thickness of 0.4mm for the battery container application. Numerical simulations of the first through the fifth stages for the multi-stage deep drawing with thin SUS409L sheet were conducted using LS-Dyna3D Implicit/Explicit. Special consideration was given to the deformation characteristics due to the normal anisotropy of the sheet material. The numerical simulations were conducted with both isotropic properties and the anisotropic properties of the initial blank material. An unexpected forming failure, barreling in the bottom region of the deep drawn rectangular cup, was observed. This failure mode can be avoided by additional ironing thickness control during the process.

A set of standard triaxial testing was performed to identify underlying physical processes and inherent limitations in the determination of critical state parameters in sandy soils. The experimental test results showed that the critical state friction angle for a given soil is constant regardless of drainage condition while the critical state line on the e-log p'space is significantly affected by drainage condition mainly because of insufficient strain attained in standard triaxial tests and strain localization effects in udrained tests. It appeared that the best method to determine critical state parameters in laboratory testing is to use homogeneous loose specimens under drained shear condition. In addition, a reference state parameter was suggested to design tests that will avoid dilatancy or strain localization effects in drained tests.

A reseach was peformed to develop composite pressure vessels in conjunction with design, fabrication, and test. Fiber pattern and angels were decided by CADFIL software and they were [$liner/15^{\circ}/15^{\circ}/90^{\circ}/18^{\circ}/90^{\circ}/21^{\circ}/21^{\circ}/90^{\circ}$]. Fabrication of bottles were done by 5-axis filament winding machine. During fabrication fiber optic sensors were embedded to measure the strain at points when internal pressure was applied by water pump. Conventional strain gage instrumentation showed the stable test results. The test results were compared to finite element analysis results and they were close each other in strain values. One can see the successful design and fabrication of single boss composite vessels.

A stiffness model has been proposed to predict elastic constants of twisted yam composites. The model is based upon the unit cell structure, the coordinate transformation, and the volume averaging of compliance constants for constituent materials. For the correlation of analytic results with experiments, composite samples of various yam twist angles were tested, and strength and Young's modulus under tensile, compressive, and shear loading have been obtained. The sample was fabricated by the RTM process using glass yarns and epoxy resin. The correlations of elastic constants showed relatively good agreements. The model provides the predictions of the three-dimensional engineering constants, which are valuable input data for the analytic characterization of textile composites made of twisted yam.

최근 그린 친환경, 지구온난화방지와 환경 부하물질저감, 기기 고효율화, 연비향상 등의 관점에서 항공기, 자동차 등 운송기계와 휴대용 전자제품 등 경량화가 요구되는 분야에서 경량합금의 사용이 급증하고 있다. 특히, 경량합금 중 가장 가벼운 마그네슘 합금은 최근 주목을 받고 있는 금속재료이다. 그러나 마그네슘합금은 알루미늄합금과는 달리 상온 성형성 및 접합성이 양호하지 않은 관계로 판재를 이용한 구조부품의 제작을 위해서는 많은 연구가 필요하다. 이러한 관점에서 본 연구는 마그네슘합금 판재의 마찰 교반 점용접을 시도하였다. CNC 밀링머신을 사용하여 프로브의 회전 및 삽입 속도에 변화를 주어 접합 특성을 평가하였고, 각 변수의 영향을 조사하였다. 적외선 열화상기와 로드셀을 사용하여 마찰 교반 점용접 중에 발생하는 교반부 온도와 접합부에 가해지는 수직부가하중의 거동을 측정하였다. 마찰 교반 점용접 후, 시험편의 접합 상태와 접합부 단면 관찰을 통해 접합 상태를 조사하였다. 그리고 인장전단 실험을 실시하여 마찰 교반 점용접된 시혐편의 접합강도를 평가하였고, 파단된 시험편의 파면을 관찰하였다.

To increase the ink transfer rate in the micro-gravure-offset printing, the liquid transfer process between two separating plates is investigated. During the liquid transfer process, in which one plate is fixed and the other one moves vertically, a sessile droplet is separated into two droplets. The volume ratio of the two droplets depends on the contact angles of the two plates. In a numerical study of the ink transfer processes, liquid transfer between two parallel separating plates and between a trapezoidal cavity and an upward moving plate are simulated, as models of the printing of ink from the offset pad onto the substrate and the picking up of ink from the gravure plate by the offset pad, respectively. Also, in experimental study, to obtain various surface contact angles, chemical treatment, plasma treatment, and electrowetting- on-dielectric (EWOD) surface are considered. The transfer rate between two plates is calculated by analyzing the droplet images. From the results, the optimal surface contact angles of the units of the micro-gravure-offset printing can be characterized.

The shape of rectangular cup used for Ni-MH(Nickel-coated Metal Hydrogen) battery for hybrid car looks quite simple, but the forming process of extruding and setting up process design are highly difficult. Furthermore, there are few concrete reports on the rectangular deep drawn cup as part of hybrid vehicles till now. In this study, process design for rectangular cup in the multi-stage deep drawing process is carried out, and FE analysis is also preformed based on the result of the process design. From the simulation result, some unexpected problems such as earing, wrinkling and excessive thickness changes of the intermediate blank occurred. To overcome these failures, a series of modification for punch shape in the forming process design are completed and applied. Considering the modified punch shape in the multi-stage deep drawing process, additional FE analysis is also carried out and the simulation result is verified in view of the deformed shape, thickness change and effective strain distribution. The result of FE analysis with the improved process design confirmed not only reducing thinning of wall and possibilities of failure but also improving the quality of drawing product through the modification of punch shape.
