In shipyard, plate forming is widely used to form the ship hull plate in various shapes. Line heating method by using a flame torch is one of the major shipbuilding processes carried out by skilled workers. Since the forming characteristics depend upon their experiences in manual forming, there are much variations between products and difficulties in communication between engineers and workers. Hence, it needs to develop an automatic forming system which can not only reduce the working time and rework costs but also improve the working environment and hull forming productivity. One of the final goals of plate forming automation is to form a target shape from the initial plate automatically. For automated plate forming, it is required to determine where and how to heat on the plate. To realize this procedure, the inverse problem should be first solved and the effect of curvature shape formed at the heating path should be investigated. In this study, the inverse problem was solved by geometrical approach using the relationship between bending angle and radius of curvature of the curved shape. In addition, experiments of two-dimensional plate forming were performed with the distance-based method considering the curved bending with curvature. The result of the formed shape agreed considerably well with the target shape.

감마선 또는 x-선 등 방사선을 이용한 구조물 진단은 산업전반에 걸쳐 널리 이용되고 있다. 기존의 x-선이나 Ir-192의 감마선 등을 이용한 비파괴검사는 용접부의 확인이나 구조물의 내부 결점 확인과 같이 국부적인 진단에는 유용하나 석유화학산업에서 반응물의 분리 또는 정제 등에 많이 사용되고 있는 증류탑의 내부진단 실험에는 적합하지 않다. 증류탑은 목적에 따라 직경이 $3{\sim}10m$, 높이 $10{\sim}100m$에 달하는 대형 장치로서 내부의 이상현상에 대한 정확한 진단은 공정 전체의 가동효율 최적화에 결정적인 영향을 끼친다. 밀봉 감마선원으로부터 방출된 방사선의 투과율 변화를 증류탑의 반대편에 설치한 방사선 검출기로 측정하여 수직밀도분포(vertical density profile)를 구하여 증류탑의 내부현상에 대한 정확한 정보를 얻을 수 있는데 이러한 작업을 자동으로 수행할 수 있도록 한 것이 자동 증류탑 검사장치이다. 증류탑 진단장치는 크게 방사선 계측 및 데이터 전송회로, 방사선원부와 방사선검출부의 구동장치 및 구동회로, 데이터 수집 및 제어장치 둥으로 구성되어 있으며, 증류탑 검사를 자동화하여 진단결과의 신뢰도와 재현성을 향상시켰다. 본 논문은 방사선원과 방사선 검출장치의 위치를 자동으로 제어하면서 방사선 계측결과를 전송시키는 장치의 개발에 관한 내용으로서 개발된 장치의 소개와 산업현장 적용의 예를 소개함으로써 기존의 비파괴검사기술로는 진단할 수 없는 대형 증류탑의 진단에 효과적인 방사선 응용 계측장치임을 보이고자 한다.

In order to detect the internal defects which occur in welding parts of pressure vessel and structures, radiographic testing and ultrasonic testing is applied. However, because of the risks of radiation exposure and film processing, radiographic testing takes a relatively long time to verify the test results and it has affected in the production process. Typically, the manual ultrasonic testing is not easy to reproduce the result and it is highly dependent on the tester's skills. The TOFD technique, one of the automatic ultrasonic testings is spreading alternatively. This research describes the comparing test results by applying radiographic testing and TOFD technique to a mock-up specimen incruding the flaws. The TOFD technique will contribute to improve the objective reliability of the ultrasonic technique.

For this study, SM45C steel rods using generally for power transmission shafts and machine components was selected and welded by butt-GMAW method. And then it was studied about estimation of fatigue strength and the region of infinite life by Haigh diagram using Goodman's equation. Fatigue strength in weld zone presents highly in order of the boundary between deposited metal zone and heat affected zone, deposited metal zone, heat affected zone. This result agrees with distribution of hardness in weld zone. Fatigue strength in base metal zone presents highly compared with weld zone in low cycles between $10^4$ cycles and $10^6$cycles, but it presents the lowest fatigue strength on the order of heat affected zone in the vicinity of $10^6$cycles. It is the result that the first high compressive residual stress distributed by drawing process of the steel rods is released and the base metal is softened by alternating stresses. The region of infinite life by Haigh diagram presents highly in order of the boundary between deposited metal zone and heat affected zone, deposited metal zone, heat affected zone. From this results, it is demanded that the stress for safety design of machine components using SM45C butt-welded steel rods must be selected in the region of the lowest infinite life of heat affected zone.

Dual fuel engines are suitable for stricter regulations as they significantly decrease exhaust gas output. Hence, research and development of double wall bellows for dual fuel engines is important. In this study, optimum forming methods and welding conditions were derived to develop double wall bellows made of austenite stainless steel. The reliability of the prototypes was ensured by various performance evaluations. In this study, the buckling load and bellows stress were obtained by structural design, buckling, and stress analysis to design optimum bellows. As a result, the buckling load in the embossing shape of bellows increased by approximately 1.6 times, and no buckling and squirming occurred at 30.0 bar, which was twice that of the maximum design pressure.

Purpose: The primary objective of this research is to develop the optimal operating conditions as well as their associated design spaces for a Cryogenic Submerged Arc Welding(SAW) process by improving its quality and productivity simultaneously. Methods: In order to investigate functional relationships among quality characteristics and their associated control factors of an SAW process, a stepwise design of experiment(DoE) method is proposed in this paper. Based on the DoE results, not only a multi-dimensional design space but also a safe operating space and normal acceptable range(NAR) by integrating statistical confidence intervals were demonstrated. In addition, the optimal operating conditions within the proposed NAR can be obtained by a robust optimal design method. Results: This study provides a customized stepwise DoE method (i.e., a sequential set of DoE such as a factorial design and a central composite design) for Cryogenic SAW process and its statistical analysis results. DoE results can then provide both the main and interaction effects of input control factors and the functional relationships between the input factors and their associated output responses. Maximizing both the product quality with high impact strength and the productivity with minimum processing times simultaneously in a case study, we proposed a design space which can provide both acceptable productivity and quality levels and NARs of input control factors. In order to confirm the optimal factor settings and the proposed NARs, validation experiments were performed. Conclusion: This research may provide significant contributions and applications to many SAW problems by preparing a standardization of the functional relationship between the input factors and their associated output response. Moreover, the proposed design space based on DoE and NAR methods can simultaneously consider a number of quality characteristics including tradeoff between productivity and quality levels.

A conventional EGR cooler, which is used in an EGR system of an automobile diesel engine, has a low heat-exchange efficiency. To maximize the heat transfer between the exhaust gas and coolant, dimples are formed on the surface of heat exchange tubes. When designing the dimpled EGR cooler, the net heat transfer areas in the conventional and dimpled tube-type EGR coolers are compared. Structural integrity evaluations are also performed by combining finite element analysis with a homogenization method. Subsequently, the process of manufacturing the dimpled tube, i.e., the formation of dimples, edge bending, center v-notch bending, compression, and plasma welding, is established and carried out. Thus, the dimpled EGR cooler is developed, and its performance is verified.
