This paper presents a method for calculating contact force between bodies on plane. At each integration time step, the proposed method finds expected contact point on their outlines and then calculates penetration, velocity of penetration and contact force. This paper adopts continuous analysis method and multi-point contact method to calculate contact force. To obtain the accurate expected contact point on their outlines, a new algorithm is developed. The accuracy of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated by comparing the numerical results of the proposed method and DADS.

본 고에서는 태양전지 모듈 원가의 60% 이상을 차지하는 실리콘 기판의 생산성을 향상시키고 그에 따라 제조단가를 저감시키기 위한 일환으로 최근 들어 일본과 프랑스를 중심으로 중점적으로 기술개발이 이루어지고 있는 EMCC법(Electro Magnetic Continuous Casting)에 의한 다결정 실리콘 잉고트의 제조기술에 관하여 연구하였다. 특히, 태양전지급의 고순도 잉고트로 제조하기 위해 높은 용융점과 낮은 전기전도도를 갖는 실리콘의 용해 및 주조 공정이 수냉되는 cold crucible 내에서 이루어지게 됨에 따라 발생하는 종래의 EMCC법의 문제점을 해결하고자, 코일전류 및 도가니 구조 등이 Joule 가열 효과 및 pinch 효과에 미치는 영향을 체계적으로 조사하였다. 연구 결과 대용량의 전원장치나 별도의 2차 가열원을 사용하지 않고서도 실리콘 원료의 가열 및 용해 효율을 현격히 향상시키며 용탕의 전 구간에 걸쳐 전자기력을 용탕의 정수압보다 큰 상태로 유지할 수 있는 EMCC용 무접촉성 도가니의 설계기술 및 이를 활용하는 전자기연주공정기술을 확립하였으며, 그 결과 직경 5 cm의 실리콘 잉고트를 1.5 mm/min의 속도로 무접촉 조건에서 연속주조할 수 있었다.

산림부산물인 수피에 의한 카드뮴 이온의 선택적 흡착 현상을 이용하여 인공폐수로부터 카드뮴이온의 제거를 시도하였다. 카드뮴 이온 선택성이 우수한 소나무와 상수리 나무의 수피를 이용한 효율적인 연속식 대량 수처리 시스템의 개발을 위한 기초 실험으로 카드뮴 이온흡착 등온선을 조사하였고, batch stirred reactor, airlift reactor, packed bed column 등 여러 접촉시스템에서의 카드뮴 이온의 제거 효율을 검토하였다. 카드뮴 흡착등온선은 두 수피 모두 Langmuir 형식으로 나타났으며 소나무 수피의 최대흡착용량은 약 7 mg/g, 상수리나무 수피의 경우에는 약 8 mg/g 정도로 나타났다. Batch stirred reactor를 이용한 시스템에서 초기농도 13 ppm의 카드뮴용액 100 $m\ell$ 을 수피 10 g 과 접촉시킨 결과 30분 이내에 95% 이상 제거되는 효율성을 보여주었다. Airlift reactor를 이용한 시스템에서는 수피 30 g 을 포기농도 10 ppm 카드뮴 용액 1 liter와 접촉시킨 결과 15분 이내에 93 % 이상 제거되었으며 4 cycle 반복 운전에서도 거의 같은 성능을 유지하였고 그 이상의 cycle에서는 점점 성능이 떨어짐을 보여주었다. Packed bed column을 이용한 시스템에서는 20 g의 수피를 충전시켰을 경우 초기농도 20 ppm에서 effluent 2.5 liter 까지는 95% 정도의 제거효율을 보여주었다.

취성재료의 마멸천이기구를 규명하기 위해 반무한탄성체상에 표면균열이 존재할 때 그 위를 헤르쯔 접촉하중이 이동할 경우를 해석모델로 하여 선형파괴역할을 도입하여 해석하였다. 해석방법으로는 표면균열을 인상전위의 연속분포로 치환하여 Erdogan-Gupta의 방법으로 균열끝면의 응력확대계수를 구하여, 취성재료의 균열전파조건인 Erdogan-Sih Criterion을 사용하여 그 전파특성을 해석하였다. 본 논문에서는 마멸율이 적은 마멸에서 마멸율이 큰 마멸로 전이할 때 급격한 표면손상과 마찰계수의 급격한 증가를 동반하므로 이에 대한 해석에 중점을 두었다. 해석결과는 접촉하중과 마찰계수의 증가는 표면균열의 전파를 야기시켜 대규모 마멸입자를 생성시키게 됨을 보여주었다.

We investigated heat properties of connection terminal in residual current protective devices(RCD) according to contact pressure for low voltage appliance. And we analyzed voltage and current waveform and oxide propagation when the poor-contact happened between terminal and wire. When contact pressure between terminal and connection wire was not applied, the heat was generated and an oxide was formed on the surface of the wire. The temperature of the insulation surrounding terminal was ascended sharply by poor-contact, micro-sparks and continuous arc sound happened in interior terminal. When the poor-contact by vibration occurred inner conductor of terminal and wire, an oxide was propagated on contact surface and the temperature was increased at 869℃. Thus, we found that the risk of electrical disaster is high in terminal and connection wire parts.

The rapid motion of granular material is microscopically observed, and investigated by continuum theory. From the binary collision phenomenon two different times are introduced : flying time and contact time. The former says the non -stationary motion and at a same time the variation of bulk volume. The latter is operative by a delayed time during the contact and describes the elastic properties of granular material. With both times a dynamic constitutive equation is postulated for four state variables : dispersive pressure, viscosity, thermal diffusivity and energy annihilation rate. The balance laws of mass, momentum and energy which are represented through above four variabls, are applied to the model, in which due to the elastic property the relaxation and energy absorption are explained.

The most common kind of vehicular accident is the low-speed rear-end impact that result in high portion of insurance claims and Whiplash Associated Disorders(WAD). The low-speed collisions have specific characteristics that differ from high speed collisions and must be treated differently This paper presents a simple continuous contact force model for the low-speed rear-end impact to simulate the accelerations, velocities and the contact force as functions of time. A smoothed Coulomb friction force is used to represent the effect of braking, which was found to be significant in simulating low-speed rear end impact. The intervehicular contact force is modeled using nonlinear damping and spring elements with coefficients and exponents. This paper presents how to estimate analytically stiffness and damping coefficients. The exponent of the nonlinear contact force model was determined to match the overall acceleration pulse shape and magnitude. The model can be used to determine ${\Delta}Vs$ and peak accelerations for the purpose of accident reconstruction and for injury biomechanics studies.

Organic acids which were produced from biomass wastes streams by cell-recycle fermentation using Propionibacterium acidipropionici ATCC 4965 were extracted by Membrane Contactor using TOA/MIBK system. Maximum productivity was 3.32g organic acid/L/hr at the dilution rate of 0.2/hr in the results of continuous fermentation. The diluted organic acids in the fermenter were selectively separated by Membrane Contactor extraction using 30%(w/w) trioctylamine(TOA) dissolved in methylisobutylketone(MIBK). The flow rate of aqueous phase is 200ml/min and that of extraction phase is 100ml/min. The degree of Acetic acid and Propionic acid extraction from fermentation broth was reached 56.25%, 72.41% respectively.

The twin-roll type strip continuous casting process(or direct rolling process) of steel materials is characterized by two rotating water cooled rolls receiving a steady supply of molten metal which solidifies onto the rolls. A solidification analysis of molten metal considering phase transformation and thermofluid is performed using finite diffefence method with curvilinear coordinate to reduce computing time and molten region analysis with arbitrary shape. An enthalpy-specific heat method is used to determine the temperatures inthe roll and the steel. The temperature distribution of cooling roll is calculated using two dimensional finite element method, because of complex roll shape due to cooling hole in rolls and improvemnt accuracy of calculation result. The energy equaiton of cooling roll is solved simultanuously with the conservation equaiton of molten metal in order to consider heat transfer through the cooling roll. The calculated roll temperature is compared to experimental results and the heat transfer coefficient between cooling roll surface and rolling material(steel) is also determined from comparison of measured roll temperature and calculated temperature.

Contact area and pressure are important factors which directly influence a life of knee implants. Since implant's mechanical functions should be experimentally evaluated for clinical use, many studies using a knee simulator and a pressure sensor system have been conducted. However it has not been reported that the contact pressure's distribution of a knee implant motion was estimated in real-time during a gate cycle. Therefore. the objective of this study was to analyze the contact pressure distribution for the motion of a joint using the knee simulator and I-scan sensor system. For this purpose, we developed a force-controlled dynamic knee simulator to evaluate the mechanical performance of artificial knee joint. This simulator includes a function of a soft tissue and has a 4-degree-of-freedom to represent an axial compressive load and a flexion angle. As axial compressive force and a flexion angle of the femoral component can be controlled by PC program. The pressure is also measured from I-scan system and simulator to visualize the pressure distribution on the joint contact surfaces under loading condition during walking cycle. The compressive loading curve was the major cause for the contact pressure distribution and its center move in a cycle as to a flexion angie. In conclusion, this system can be used to evaluate to the geometric interaction of femoral and tibial design due to a measured mechanical function such as a contact pressure, contact area and a motion of a loading center.
