DQM(differential quadrature method) is applied to computation of two dimensional elasticity problems in helical spring. Elastic shear stresses in an axially loaded helical spring having rectangular and square cross sections are calculated. The results are compared with those obtained using the method of successive approximations. The differential quadrature method gives good accuracy even when only a limited number of grid points is used.

In this paper, back pressure forging processes of which back pressures are exerted by mechanical forces including spring reaction are simulated by three-dimensional finite element method. The basic three-dimensional approach extended from two-dimensional approach is accounted for. An axisymmetric backward and forward extrusion process having a back pressing die, which is exposed to oscillation of forming load due to variation of reduction ratios with stroke and its related frequent variation of major deforming region, is simulated by both two and three dimensional approaches to justify the presented approach by their comparison. A three-dimensional forging process having a back pressing die attached to the punch by a mechanical spring is simulated and the results are investigated to reveal accuracy of the presented approach.

In this paper, the relation between displacement of piezoelectric material and electric field was proposed. FEA was introduced to predict the displacement and reaction force of plate spring attached in the piezoelectric material. The relation between displacement of piezoelectric material forced by plate spring and applied electric field were further verified by experimental investigation. Also, the flow rate of gas in piezoelectric valve was examined by experiment. Finally, the relation between electric field and gas flow was derived. Based on these results, these relations can be used in the design of mass flow controller.

An air spring which is a part of the suspension system of automobiles is used to reduce and absorb the vibration and the noise. Main components of the air spring are a cord reinforced rubber bellows, a canister and a piston. The performance of the air spring are depended on configurations of rubber bellows, the angle and elastic modulus of cord. The finite element analysis are executed to predict and evaluate the load capacity and the stiffness. The design variables of air spring are determined to adjust the required specifications of the air spring. Several samples of the air spring are manufactured and experimented. It is shown that the results by finite element analysis are in close agreement with the test results.

The thruster valve, which is one of the key components applied to the mono-propellant system for the satellite, has a circular plate spring structure. It can be designed as a structure that does not have positional deformation and particles by friction and repetitive motion. In this study, finite element analysis and verification were performed by setting the width of the circular plate spring as a design parameter with the material, thickness and radius of the circular plate spring as fixed variables. The linearity of the spring constant is shown by the graph that is spring force with displacement. It is confirmed that the optimization design of the circular plate spring is possible by the spring force tendency according to the total area of circular plate spring.

국내외의 자동차 메이커는 고효율, 저공해 자동차 개발에 집중하고 있으며, 그 방법으로 하이브리드 자동차가 최우선시 되고 있다. 하이브리드 자동차의 밧데리 팩을 구성하는 핵심 부품 중 하나인 고전압 직류 릴레이는 주행 중 엔진 구동력을 보조하는 구동모터에 전기 에너지를 공급하는 밧데리의 출력을 개폐하는 기기이다. 고전압 직류 릴레이의 개폐 동작시 발생하는 소음은 자동차 운전 중 실내로 유입되어 운전자의 승차감을 떨어뜨리는 요인이 되므로 릴레이의 개폐 동작시 발생하는 소음 저감을 위한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 폐로(ON) 동작시 발생하는 소음 저감을 위해 소음원인 충격력을 감소시키기 위한 이중 접압스프링 구조를 제안하였으며, 소음 저감 성능평가를 수행하였다. 먼저 정확한 충격해석을 위해 고전압 직류 릴레이의 최소 동작 전압인 5.9V부터 상시 인가 전압인 12V까지 총 6개의 전압레벨에서 릴레이의 전자력을 측정하였으며, 기존 접압스프링 구조와 이중 접압스프링 구조에 관하여 외연적 탄소성 유한요소 프로그램인 LS-DYNA를 사용하여 충격해석을 수행하였다. 고전압 직류 릴레이의 소음원인 가동전극과 고정전극에서 발생하는 일차 충격력과 가동철심과 고정철심에서 발생하는 이차 충격력을 비교, 평가하였다.

The fracture mechanics analysis of surface cracks in plates and cylindrical geometries is important in the integrity evaluation of flawed structural components. The objective of this paper is, thus, to numerically investigate an interaction effect of two surface cracks in plate and cylindrical geometries. The effect of crack spacing on the magnitude of the stress intensity factor(K) is investigated using the line-spring model. For the case of a finite plate under uniaxial loading, the effect of crack spacing on the K values is negligible. However, for the case of a cylinder under moderate internal pressure, a significant increase in K values is observed at the deepest point of the surface crack.

The compressive strengths of simply supported columns may be significantly increased by reinforcing them with an assemblage of cross-arms and stayed struts connecting both ends of the columns and the cross-arm members. The purpose of the stayed struts and cross-arms is to introduce partial restraints against translation and rotation, thereby decreasing the effective buckling length of the column. In this study, buckling strengths of the assembled column system have been quantitatively evaluated from the theoretical methods based on both the equivalent spring model and the stiffness matrix formulation. And the results were compared with those from elastic/inelastic analysis using a finite element analysis package program, ABAQUS, for verification purpose. Expected compressive strength curves have been proposed for the assembled column system as a function of slenderness ratio of the simply supported column.
