In order to improve automobile maneuverability and tire durability, it is very important for one to determine a suitable sidewall contour producing the ideal tension and strain-energy distributions. In order to determine such a sidewall contour, one must apply multi-objective optimization technique. The optimization problem of tire carcass contour involves several objective functions. Hence, we execute the tire contour optimization for improving the maneuverability and the tire durability using satisficing trade-off method. And, the tire optimization also requires long cup time for the sensitivity analysis. In order to resolve this numerical difficulty, we apply neural network algorithm.

In this paper, the optimum design of tire sidewall contour consisted of double plies for improving automobile maneuverability and tire durability is considered and a GUI program is developed for the purpose of the practical design. Each improvement of maneuverability and durability depends on the cord tension and strain energy distribution of tire sidewall. Satisfing trade-off method, which requires the judgment of aspiration levels, is used for the multi-objective optimization problem. Also, this paper presents the application to the practical sidewall contour design with the GUI program developed using visual Fortran.

In this paper, optimal cutting condition to minimize the form error in side wall machining with a flat end mill is studied. Cutting forces and tool deflection are calculated considering surface shape generated by the previous cutting such as roughing. Using the form error prediction method from tool deflection, optimal cutting condition considering form accuracy is investigated. Also, the effects of tool teeth number, tool geometry and cutting conditions on form error are analyzed. The characteristics and the difference of generated surface shape in up and down milling are discussed and over-cut free condition in up milling is presented. Form error reduction method through successive up and down milling is also suggested. The effectiveness and usefulness of the presented method are verified from a series of cutting experiments under various cutting conditions. It is confirmed that form error prediction from tool deflection in side wall machining can be used in optimal cutting condition selection and real time surface error simulation for CAD/CAM systems. This study also contributes to cutting process optimization for the improvement of form accuracy especially in precision die and mold manufacturing.

Korea Aerospace Research Institute has been designed and manufactured various thurst nozzles of the scramjet engine for optimized configuration. The test campaign for thurst nozzle characteristics was performed at T4 free-piston shock tunnel in University of Queensland, Australia. Total 8 kinds of thrust nozzles and 2 kinds of side walls were manufactured for this campaign. In this paper, the design and specification of thrust nozzles was reported. Based on the static pressure distribution of the engine and pitot pressure distributions at nozzle exit, The positive net thurst was observed with baseline case of the test campaign.

돌출줄눈은 산지하천의 만곡부의 빠른 유속을 감소시키기 위하여 활용된다. 본 연구에서는 친환경 디자인의 나무줄기 돌출줄눈(Tree Trunk Rip, TTR)과 사다리꼴 돌출줄눈(Trapezoid Rip, TR)의 흐름저항을 비교 분석하기 위하여 개수로 수리실험을 수행하였다. 실험은 길이 9m, 폭이 0.6m이며 경사가 0.0035로 고정된 개수로의 한쪽 측벽에 돌출줄눈을 설치하여 진행하였다. 사다리 꼴 돌출줄눈의 형상은 밑변 각이 $63^{\circ}$이며 무차원 설치간격 ${\lambda}_{nv}$가 6, 9, 12인 경우이다. 나무줄기 돌출줄눈의 기본 형상은 사다리꼴이고 표면은 나무껍질 무늬이며 ${\lambda}_{nv}$가 약 10이다. 나무줄기 돌출줄눈의 간격은 사다리꼴 돌출줄눈의 최적 설치 간격 9~12배 범위에 해당되고 평균 마찰계수는 사다리꼴 돌출줄눈의 9~12배의 평균 마찰계수 범위에 포함되었다. 사다리꼴 돌출줄눈의 ${\lambda}_{nv}$가 9, 12일 때의 전체 저항에 대한 형상저항의 비는 평균 $69.4{\pm}5.8%$였으며 나무줄기 돌출줄눈은 $70.2{\pm}2.1%$로 사다리꼴 돌출줄눈과 유사하다. 산지하천 흐름저항을 위한 돌출줄눈 설치에 있어 친환경적 디자인을 고려한 나무줄기가 사다리꼴 돌출줄눈보다 활용도가 클 것으로 기대된다.

Automobile maneuverability and tire durability are significantly influenced by the sidewall tire contour. In order to improve these tire performances, it is very important far one to determine a sidewall contour producing the ideal tension and strain-energy distributions. However, these requirements can nut be simultaneously achieved by conventional non-interactive multi-objective optimization methods based on mathematical programming, because these exhibit the conflicting behavior each other, with respect lo the sidewall contour. Therefore, we execute the tire contour optimization fur improving the maneuverability and the tire durability using satisficing trade-off method.

Multi-stage deep drawing is a widely used industrial manufacturing process, and its applications are gradually expanding to both small products and large metallic products. The USB C-type socket used in smart phones, for example, is manufactured using oval multi-stage deep drawing. The socket is very small and slender and it requires precise manufacturing. The thickness distribution of the final product is guaranteed only if it is uniform throughout the overall process. Therefore, minimizing the height difference between long and short sidewalls after the first operation is important for this goal. An initial blank optimization was performed for an oval-type drawing process based on finite element simulations. The goal was to determine an initial blank geometry that can maintain uniform height and thickness after the first draw operation. The initial blank shape of the sheet metal was optimized, and the results show that it satisfied the conditions of minimal thickness reduction and even thickness distribution. The geometry from the optimized simulation was compared with experimental results, which showed good agreement.

The trapezoidal ribs had been installed in the retaining wall in order to reduce to flood damage in the impingement of mountain rivers. In this study, experiments in open channel with the trapezoidal ribs on sidewall were conducted to evaluate the effect of flow resistance by the trapezoidal shape. The hydraulic flow characteristics according to the flow rates were surveyed where the wall roughness is k-type that dimensionless spacings, ${\lambda}_{nv}$, are 6, 9, and 12. The flow-resistance factors such as roughness and friction coefficients increased generally with increase of the spacing of ribs. In high flow rate the friction coefficient showed the maximum value when ${\lambda}_{nv}$ is 9. Though the trapezoidal ribs has the relatively smaller flow resistance compared to the square ribs, their form drag accounted for mean 62% of the total flow resistance. It was confirmed that the optimal spacing of trapezoidal ribs to maximize the effect of flow resistance as the wall roughness increases are 9 to 12 times of the height of trapezoidal ribs.
