본 기술은 와이어로프의 중간 부위와 단부에 코일스프링을 설치하여 하중 작용시 압축으로 저항하게 하는 낙석방지 울타리의 제작ㆍ설치 기술이다. 이는 낙석 발생시 고유진동수가 작고 큰 변형률이 유도되므로 접촉시간이 길어 와이어로프에 발생하는 장력을 감소시키고 충격흡수능력을 향상시켰으며, 압축으로 저항하여 와이어로프가 먼저 파단된 후 스프링이 항복하도록 하여 안전성을 향상시킨 기술이다.(중략)

The purpose of this study is to investigate the behavior and characteristics of rubber springs and calculate the compressive stiffness by performing dynamic compression tests of rubber springs. In order to carry out the dynamic compression test of rubber spring, total 9 rubber springs were tailored by calculating the shape factor of L80-D55, L90-D58, and L100-D60, and used for the experiments. Experiments were performed by controlling the compression according to the length of the rubber spring, and the compression was increased in the order of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% of the strain. From the experimental results, the force-strain curves were obtained and it was confirmed that strength decrease and strength increase phenomenon occurred as the strain increased. In addition, it was confirmed that the decrease of stiffness and the increase of stiffness were clearly observed according to the size and diameter of the rubber spring, and the effective compression stiffness was estimated using the slope of the force-strain curve. By using the effective compressive stiffness, design values that can be used in actual design were presented.

The study investigates the mechanical deformation of a newly developed screwless omega-wire dynamic system for stabilization of the spine. The omega-wire spring stabilization system was tested under tension, compression, and dynamic compressive fatigue loads. In addition, its bending deformation was compared to that of a spiral-wire spring system using FEA. A model whose hanger inter-center distance is 60 mm showed an ultimate tensile stress of 3981.7 N at a displacement of 3.61 mm and an ultimate compressive load of 535.6 N at a displacement of 2.16 mm. Under fatigue loading of 5 Hz with 10 N/1 N, it did not show any failure over 5 million cycles, and the displacement was restricted to 8-9 mm. In the FEA, the omega-wire spring system showed more flexible bending features than did the spiral-wire spring system.

The function of gas springs is based on the compression of a gas. They are used in a wide variety of industries, and demand for them is increasing. Gas springs can be divided into compression and extension springs. Extension springs have not been studied much in relation to control of the piston speed, unlike compression springs. In this study, the magnitude of the piston rebound pressure was theoretically predicted by calculating the pressure loss in a double-cylinder extension gas spring. Numerical simulations of the piston behavior were carried out for small and large amounts of friction between the piston and the cylinder. FLUENT was used for the simulation with a 6-DOF model and UDF to simulate the behavior of the piston. The calculation regions of the front and rear of the piston were separated, and different types of grids were generated in the regions to implement a dynamic mesh using only a layering method. The results show that the piston returns with the target speed in both cases. However, the patterns of the piston behavior reaching the final speed are different.

Helical compression springs have been widely used in industries. The springs should be verified through experiment whether the inherent characteristics of the spring can be maintained during the manufacturing process. Considerable time and expense is spent in the manufacturing process. Therefore, in this study, the structural integrity evaluation of a spring was conducted using linear static structural analysis. Verification and comparison of the experimental data were carried out using a variety of international industrial standards with the intent to prove the validity of this study. The spring model did not consider coil ends. As a result of conducting the structural analysis, the quality of the mesh was improved and the time needed to create an analytical model was reduced. The study indicated that Poisson's ratio had little influence on the result of the structural analysis. Additionally, the possibility of verifying the structural integrity evaluation by structural analysis was confirmed.

In this study, fiber-reinforced composite coil springs for automobiles were manufactured using the braiding method, and mechanical tests and damage evaluation were performed to confirm their safety. Through the analysis of the load-displacement behavior, the stiffness of the springs was evaluated to meet the specifications. In addition, the distribution of voids and the impregnation rate on the spring wire section were analyzed to clearly understand the criteria for the mechanical properties of the composite material. Moreover, the tested springs were visually inspected to confirm the damaged parts, and the failure mode was analyzed by observing crack initiation and propagation behavior of cross-sectional samples taken from the crack and failure adjacent areas of springs using SEM.

유한요소법을 이용하여 스프링으로 연속 지지되고 축방향 하중이 작용하는 핵연료봉의 자유진동 해석올 수행하였다. 본 해석에는 지지격자 지지점에서 핵연료봉의 변위가 구속되지 않는 실제 경계조건을 반영하였다. 이러한 경계조건은 지지점 스프링 상수에 의하여 핵연료봉 해석모델의 탄성항이 약화되는 현상을 반영할 수 있어서 지지점이 구속된 기존의 모델보다 고유진동수를 작게 예측한다. 스프링 상수가 어떤 임계값 이하를 갖는 경우 고유진동수 뿐만 아니라 모드형상도 크게 변하기 때문에 지지점을 구속한 모델에 의한 해석은 실제 진동현상을 상당히 왜곡 할 수 있다. 핵연료봉에 작용하는 축방향력이 인장력에서 압축력으로 감소함에 따라 고유진동수도 감소하지만 핵연료봉의 고유형상은 변하지 않았다. 지지격자 스프링 상수의 점진적인 감소와 핵연료봉 축방향 압축력의 감소를 동시에 적용하는 경우 고유 진동수는 두 변수를 별도로 적용했을 때 얻은 최소값의 변화에 따르는 경향을 나타내었다.

Damper springs in a drive-line absorb the impulsive torque generated when a lock-up clutch is connected directly, instead of via a fluid coupling. Design optimization and finite element analysis were performed to improve the shock- and vibration-absorption capacity of the lock-up clutch. For this purpose, a multi-body dynamics model was developed by including the main parts of a vehicle, such as an engine with a clutch, a transmission, drive shafts and wheels, and a whole mass of a vehicle. The spring constants were selected so that resonance of a system could be avoided. Damper springs were optimized on the basis of the spring constants, impulsive torques, compressed angles, spring counts, fatigue constraints, etc. Topology optimization was performed for three plates with the damper springs. The compliance was set up as an objective function, and volume fraction was fixed below 0.3. A new shape for the plates was proposed on the basis of the topology result.

A spring tension control device is used as a very important part of an twister system. The friction force of tensioner must keep same friction force during winding in package. For satisfy this function, many device used common compression coil spring. In this paper, by using the case-building technique which was based on simple theory that unknown design variables are induced by given input design variables by the designer, design automation algorithm about rectangular section compression springs with elastic characteristic is developed. Four design equation are justified in using of analysis of torsion of straight bar of rectangular section and geometrical condition of coil spring. Four design equation and nine design variables are computed by case-building technique.
