한 대의 자동차가 완성되기 위해서는 약 2~3만 개에 가까운 부품이 들어간다. 자동차의 심장인 엔진부분은 물론 자동차의 외형을 이루는 몸체, 각종 전기장치 등을 만들기 위해서 갖가지 부속품이 필요한 것이다. 이들 부품 가운데 특히 많이 쓰이는 것이 압축코일, 비틀림코일, 태엽 등의 각종 스프링이다. 이와 같은 스프링을 제작하는 기업은 많지만 그중에서도 (주)디지에쓰는 업계에서 명성이 자자하다. 지난 1974년 설립돼 현재 40여 명이 근무하고 있는 작은 회사이지만 기술연구소를 설치 운영하고 있을 정도로 연구개발에 힘써 온 결과 남부럽지 않은 기술력을 갖게 됐기 때문이다. 2010년에 중소기업청으로부터 기술혁신형 중소기업으로 선정된 것이 이를 입증하고 있다. 작지만 강한 기업이라는 수식어가 전혀 어색하지 않은 것이다. (주)디지에쓰가 명성을 얻고 있는 데에는 또 다른 이유가 있다. 바로 철저한 안전관리를 바탕으로 5년 연속 무재해를 이어가고 있기 때문이다. 우리나라의 산업재해 가운데 80% 이상이 50인 미만 소규모 사업장에서 발생하고 있다는 점에 비춰보면 이곳의 무재해 기록이 갖는 의미는 남다르다고 할 수 있다. 철저한 안전관리를 바탕으로 성장을 거듭하고 있는 (주)디지에쓰를 찾아가 봤다.

판(leaf)의 너비가 일정하고 두께가 균일하게 감소하는 두께감소 홀다운스프링집합체(Tapered-Thickness Holddown spring Assembly ; TT-HDS)에서 단순 보 이론과 Castigliano의 정리를 이용하여 TT-HDS의 탄성강성도를 해석적으로 구할 수 있도록 종래에 유도되었던 탄성강성도 평가식을 수정하고 확장하였으며 TT-HDS의 기하학적 설계자료를 이용하여 탄성강성도를 평가하였다. 아울러 ANSYS code 의 접촉요소를 이용하여 TT-HDS을 유한요소 모델링하여 탄성강성도를 수치적으로 평가하였다. 평가 결과 전단력 및 축력이 TT-HDS의 탄성강성도에 미치는 영향은 약 0.09∼0.16%정도로서 TT-HDS의 탄성강성도는 주로 굽힘모우멘트에 의해 지배되고 있음이 확인되었다. 또한 접촉요소로 유한요소 모델링하여 평가한 결과는 확장된 평가식으로 평가한 탄성강성도와 매우 잘 일치하고 있음을 발견하였다.

In this study, a variable elasticity spring was applied to improve the pressure control precision of conventional relief valves. The equilibrium equation of the forces acting on the valve poppet was derived; it is demonstrated that matching the elastic rate of the pressure-adjusting coil spring to the equivalent elastic rate of the flow force improved the pressure override. The procedures that were used to design the variable elasticity spring are presented, and some applications of the variable elasticity spring are also introduced. Computer simulations were used to analyze three cases: a poppet-closed flow force structure, a poppet-open flow force structure with a constant elasticity spring, and a structure containing a variable elasticity spring. It is confirmed that the pressure control precision of the relief valve can be significantly improved upon by applying a variable elasticity spring to the poppet-open flow force structure.

In this paper, a method is presented for estimating the bearing capacity of shallow foundations based on the Discrete Element Method (DEM). By applying Winkler-springs for accounting for the compatibility between soil blocks, the proposed method can estimate the state of stress at failure surface and the ultimate bearing capacity. For the investigation of the application of the method, example problems about shallow foundations on the single layer and two layers soil are analyzed.

본 논문에서는 젖은 머리카락의 응집력을 효율적으로 표현할 수 있는 적응형 샘플링 기법을 제안한다. 젖은 헤어는 인접 머리카락과 달라붙어 머리카락 하단으로 뭉치는 응집력 형태를 지닌다. 헤어 동역학은 수많은 입자 구조로 연결되어있으며 머리카락의 상호작용을 고려하는 젖은 헤어의 경우 응집력 계산이 개별적인 머리카락 단위로 표현되기 때문에, 이를 위한 계산과정을 효율적으로 풀어내는 것은 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 젖은 헤어의 시뮬레이션을 효율적으로 계산하기 위해 밀도와 각도, 그리고 포화도를 고려한 적응형 샘플링 기법을 제안한다. 이는 속도와 메모리 측면에서 최적화가 가능하며 헤어 입자의 추가와 삭제를 통해 사실적인 젖은 머리카락의 응집력 표현을 실시간으로 표현할 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법은 실제 젖은 헤어와 유사한 결과를 보여주며, 실시간 프로그램에서 사람의 젖은 모발 또는 동물의 젖은 털의 특징 등을 표현하는데 응용할 수 있다.

In order to use a linear vibration motor for the actuator of a haptic interface, the motor must provide a higher reaction rate and longer service life than typical rotational motors with an eccentric mass. In this paper, we propose a linear vibration motor that is equipped with a voice-coil actuator and permanent-magnet springs. To concentrate the magnetic flux in the actuator, a Halbach-style magnetization pattern is used. Permanent-magnet springs replace mechanical springs to help increase the service life. We use the method of equivalent current sheets and the method of images to analyze and model the proposed vibration motor. These methods are validated using finite element analyses and experiments. A prototype motor is designed and fabricated. Tests with the prototype show the feasibility of the proposed linear vibration motor.

In this study, as an initial study for development of stability analysis program of a double-deck tunnel during life cycle, a structural analysis solver based beam-spring model for the double-deck tunnel is constructed. Effect of parameters(slab supporting type, depth of the tunnel and ground elastic modulus) is analyzed with the beam-spring model. The model is also compared and verified by commercial structural analysis program. It is considered that the slab supporting type affects the integrated behavior with segment lining and influence of intermediate slab on the stability of the tunnel decreases as the tunnel depth increases. The relationship between the ground elastic modulus and the effect of the intermediate slab on the segment lining needs further investigation.

This paper is concerned with a new concept for the damper without neither a coil spring nor fluid. The new damper concept consists of the permanent magnets and the cylinder of the conducting material. The opposite pole magnets produces the repulsive forces and this is substituted for the coil spring. The relative motion between the magnets and conducting cylinder produces eddy currents thus resulting in the electromagnetic force, which turns out to be the damping force and is substituted for a damping fluid. This damper is called the eddy current damper(ECD). The important advantage of the proposed ECD is that it does not require any damping fluid and any external power and is non-contacting and relatively insensitive to temperature. In the present study, the proposed ECD was constructed and the experiments were performed to investigate its dynamic characteristics. The experiments shows that the proposed ECD has the excellent damping ability.

The segment lining which consists of segments and joints are main component of shield tunnel. There are a number of methods that are being used in design which compute the sectional forces of a ring of segment lining. The traditional design methods which do not consider the effect of joints have been commonly used for design procedure without a specific verification of structural analysis. This paper presents the result of a comparative study for analytical and numerical models of the shield tunnel segment lining. For the traditional methods, the elastic equation method and the Duddeck & Erdmann method were considered. The ring-beam and the continuum analysis model were also considered as the numerical model.

The purpose of this study is to develop a nonlinear algorithm for the dynamic interaction analysis of KTX trains and bridge girders with consideration of separation and flange contact phenomena between wheel and rail. For this, three interaction models between wheel-rail are implemented and compared through numerical examples. That is, the spring model and the non-jump model are briefly explained, and a nonlinear contact model is then proposed to accurately simulate interaction forces of the train-bridge system. Dynamic interaction analysis of a simply supported girder and trains is performed and the analyzed results are presented and compared for the proposed contact model and the other model types. Particularly, flange contact phenomena in the nonlinear contact model are demonstrated under a specific condition.
