Various studies have been conducted for the diagnosis of noise condition of complex rotary machines. In this study, diagnosis index using vibration signal is developed for the efficient and objective assessment of noise condition of a blower motor. The noise most commonly caused by the abnormal blower motor are Tick/Click noise and Tone noise. According to cause and noise characteristics, time-frequency analysis is used to diagnose Tick/Click noise, and smoothing in frequency domain is used to diagnose tone noise condition. The noise condition of the blower motors were diagnosed using the developed index and these results are compared with the diagnostic results by the experts. As a result, the agreement rate was about 95 %.

To determine the effective factors for microparticle blasting with precise sequence position control in the x-axis and y-axis directions, we conducted a statistical experimental analysis of blasted square shapes by considering five condition factors. The control input and output were operated simultaneously by rotation-linear motion conversion and fine particles were blasted onto the aluminum specimen by precise position control driving using multiple execution codes. The micro-driving device used for processing was capable of microparticle blasting and of controlling the system through contact with a limit sensor at high speed and a two-degree-of-freedom driving mechanism. Our experiments were conducted on 1,050 specimens of pure aluminum (containing <1% of other elements). The effects of several factors (e.g., particle and nozzle diameters, blasting pressure, and federate and blasting cycle numbers) on the surface roughness and blasted surface's depth were verified through a statistical experimental analysis by applying the dispersion analysis method. This statistical analysis revealed that the nozzle diameter, the blasting pressure, and the blasting cycle number were the dominant factors.

Laser surface hardening process is the method of hardening surface by inducing rapid self quenching of laser injected area through transfer of surface heat to inside after rapid heating of laser injected area only by high density energy heat source. This surface treatment method does not involve virtually any thermal deformation by heat treatment nor accompanies any other process after surface hardening treatment. In addition, allowing local machining, this method is a surface treatment method suitable for die with complicated shape. In this study, die material cast iron was surface-treated by using high power diode laser with beam profile suitable for heat treatment. Since the shapes of die differ by press die process, specimens were heat-treated separately on plane and corner depending on the applied parts. At this time, corner heat treatment was done with optic head inclined at $10^{\circ}$. As a result, corner heat treatment easily involves concentration of heat input due to limitation of heat transfer route by the shapes compared with plane part, so the treatment accomplished hardening at faster conveying speed than plane heat treatment.

The fuel storage vessel installed in CNG vehicles can be largely divided into 3 parts: head, cylinder, and dome. Studies of the cylinder and dome parts have already been performed, but sufficient design data is not available about the head part. Therefore, expert field engineers heavily depend upon trial-and-error methods. Therefore, FE analysis is performed to review the hot spinning process for forming the head part of the CNG vessel using the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method. The effects of forming factors on the load were analyzed. The values of the factors were chosen to avoid defects in the head part and buckling, and the forming feasibility of the head part was investigated. Furthermore, a bursting test was performed to evaluate the safety of the storage vessel.

When a rotating heat pipe is in operation, liquid condensate returns from the condenser to the evaporator along the inside surface by both components of gravitational and centrifugal forces. It was known that its performance was largely dependent on how to increase the flow rates of condensate and keep the condensate film thickness as thin as possible. Most of research works were focussed on this goal, and various inner wall structures such as tapered wall, stepped wall or coil inserted pipe etc. were developed. In the present study, a stepped wall structure with 3 internal grooves in the condenser and adiabatic zone was examined. For this system, the condensate would flow down to the evaporator through the grooves, resulting a reduced film thickness over the condenser surface. Experimental data showed an enhancement of heat transfer coefficient in the condenser zone. An analytical solution to the condensate film thickness showed that the analytically calculated values of heat transfer coefficient were considerably higher than the experimental data.

There is an over head hoist transporter(OHT) by the system for delivering the wafer in semiconductor processing. The transfer system consist of carrier, vehicle, rail and support. The Tail supporting the wafer and the transfer system should maintain enough strength and stiffness. To achieve lightness and enough strength and stiffness, optimization algorithm should be introduced in design process. In this study, two kinds of section shapes as L-type, C-type is carried out the structure analysis and optimization. Total weight of rail is to be minimized while displacement should not exceed limit. To improve the initial model, topology optimization is done by the plain problem. Size optimization is done with 3D solid element and PLBA algorithm, the RQP algorithm. The weight of optimum model as L-type, C-type is decreased by 2.3%, 10% respectively. It is improved better than the initial model in the strength and stiffness of the structure.

LNG-RV has the additional equipments that enable to re-gastify liquefied LNG in LNG carrier. This vessel has Submerged Turret Loading(STL) system which transports gas through submarine terminal. When LNG-RV is operating at sea, the opening condition is formed by detaching STL equipment from a vessel. The primary objective of the current work is to estimate accurate speed loss for the opening condition of the LNG-RV employing numerical calculations and model tests. In the model tests, resistance and self-propulsion tests are carried out for the bare-hull and the opening condition without STL. In addition to these, flow visualization utilizing tuft is used to make the flow patterns visible, in order to get a qualitative or quantitative information for inner part in case of detaching the STL.

하천 형상은 자연적인 흐름과 인간의 활동에 의해 다양한 형태로 변화되며, 이러한 변화과정을 통해 안정된 형상을 갖추어간다. 이러한 변화는 흐름과 상호작용 과정을 통해 진전되며, 하천의 형태를 변화시키는 흐름 또한 저수로 형태 및 수량적인 변화 등에 의해 다양한 특성을 갖게 된다. 본 연구에서는 하천 내의 형태가 인간의 활동에 의해 인공적으로 변화되었을 경우 하천의 수리학적 특성에 미치는 영향을 3차원 수치해석 모형인 EFDC(Environmental fluid Dynamics Code, 미국 버지니아 해양연구소 개발) 모형을 이용하여 검토하였다. EFDC 모형은 크게 유동, 퇴적물 이송, 수질의 세 부분으로 구성되어 있으며, 유동 모델은 수온과 염분이 고려된 3차원 천수방정식을 기본으로 하고 있다. EFDC 모형의 적용을 위한 Case1은 일반적인 저수로 형태 갖는 하천이며, Case2에서는 하천 저수로 내 인공적으로 하중도가 설치되었을 경우에 대하여 수리학적 특성을 모의하였다. 수치모의 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 확인 할 수 있었다. 수위변화는 하중도 유무에 따라 상하류 부분에서 전혀 다른 결과를 나타냈다. 유속분포는 Case1에 비하여 Case2의 경우 하중도 설치에 의해 하천의 상류부에서는 흐름의 정체부분이 나타났으며, 하류부에서는 급확대에 의한 유속의 감소가 나타났다. 그리고 하중도에 의해 저수로가 분기됨에 따라 저수로의 급축소부가 발생되고, 이로 인해 유속이 급속히 증가되었다. 본 연구의 Case2와 같이 하천에 하중도를 설치할 경우 만곡부 외측 부분에서는 유속의 현저한 증가가 발생하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이와 같이 하중도의 설치 위치, 하중도의 규모 등에 따라 하중도 부분의 급격한 수위 및 유속 변화이 발생되는 것을 확인하였으며, 만곡부에 이와 같은 것을 설치할 경우 보다 정밀한 수리계산을 통해 안전성이 확보되는 하중도 설치가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

In the splay manufacturing process, conveyor systems are widely used for conveying panels. In this conveyor, a large number of grounding lines are used in order to prevent a product failure due to static electricity. In many cases, the grounding line is disconnected due to the rotation of the transporting roller or curling, leading to product failure. In order to solve such a problem, there is a growing need for a system capable of detecting disconnection of a ground wire in real time. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a disconnection monitoring system of ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) ground wire caused by friction between the conveyor drive part and the panel. The proposed system is a monitoring system that can detect disconnection and disconnection of ground wire using ATmega 2560 and Wheatstone Bridge circuit. It can detect disconnection of ground wire immediately and can take measures to reduce the defect rate due to static electricity. The system proposed in this paper is expected to be applicable to the production and test equipments of all industries where the ground wire is used.

Reinforcement corrosion is generally prohibited under normal condition by the alkalinity of the pore water in the concrete. However, concrete structures in marine environment are subjected to chloride attack due to the high salinity of the sea water. Thus the probability of steel corrosion becomes higher when the chloride ions are introduced into the concrete. Steel corrosion is a decisive factor for the determination of service life of the marine concrete structure because chloride ions are abundant in the sea, and piers are the typical construction elements in concrete structures in marine environment. Hence, it is of great importance to evaluate the service life of the piers. In this paper, chloride penetration analysis for the rectangular pier in the marine environment is performed considering the diffusion and convection movement of chlorides. Result reveals that the service life of the reinforcement with drying-wetting cycles is much shorter than that of the reinforcement with saturated condition. This may be due to the fact that moisture movement is much faster that chloride diffusion.
