A high intensity focuses ultrasound (HIFU) is one of the emerging technologies in the biomedical field. The piezoelectric HIFU transducer is a device that utilizes the thermal energy generated by high ultrasound energy. Recently an operating frequency of the HIFU transducer is to expand above a 7 MHz. In this study, the acoustic pressures and temperature distributions in the tissue that generated by the HIFU transducer at 10 MHz were calculated with the finite element method. In addition, the pressure focusing characteristics of the device were analyzed. The geometrical variables are the piezomaterial thickness, lens shape, water height, and film thickness. The results shown that the acoustic pressure increased and saturated gradually when the height/radius (H_L/R_L) ratio of the lens increased. Moreover, the focal area was gradually decreases with H_L/R_L ratio of the lens. In case of the optimized HIFU transducer, the maximum pressure and temperature were analyzed about 19 MPa and 65℃ respectively. And the -3 dB focused distances in the axial and lateral direction are around 2.3 mm and 0.23 mm respectively.

A procedure has be developed to optimize the product's tipping position in designing a die face for manufacturing automobile outer panels. Two design requirements are considered in optimizing the tipping position. One is to satisfy that all the points on the product should have a uniform distribution of drawing depths. The other is to guarantee that the user-specified area on the product should first contact with the binder wrap. The problem to satisfy the design requirements described above is analogous to the flatness calculation problem in the area of metrology if some constraints can be imposed. Thus the problem can be solved by the simulated annealing method, which is one of the optimization methods. The developed procedure was tested with the real die face design problem and the usefulness was verified by the diagram of the drawing depth.

Increasing fuel economy and reducing air pollution have been unavoidable issues in the development of new cars, and one of the important methods is decreasing vehicle weight. Weight can be reduced by using lightweight materials such as aluminum alloy. Dynamic stiffness analysis was performed and compared for different materials for the knuckle for a car. The dynamic stiffness of 6061 aluminum alloy was about 30% higher than that of FCD600 cast iron. Usually, materials that have high dynamic stiffness show excellent vibration resistance because the dynamic stiffness can affect the vibration characteristics. In order to design a lighter and more reliable chassis component using 6061 aluminum alloy (AA6061-T6), a new knuckle shape is suggested by adding section ribs to an existing knuckle model. The effect of each design change on the reliability and component weight was investigated using computer aided engineering (CAE).

The instrumented indentation test is a valuable analytical technique for analyzing the local properties of nanocomposite materials or the surface properties of thin coatings, such as films, which cannot be measured by traditional mechanical property measurement methods like tensile testing or Vickers hardness testing. This technique involves applying and removing a load on the surface of the target material using an indenter with a specific geometric shape. By continuously measuring the load and indentation depth during this process, an indentation-load curve is obtained and analyzed to determine the mechanical properties of the material. This study aims to derive the optimal measurement conditions for assessing the mechanical properties of polymer films coated on rigid substrates, such as displays, using a nanoindenter, which is the most representative instrument for the instrumented indentation test. Through the interpretation of the measurement results, the study seeks to analyze the mechanical properties of the polymer films coated on rigid substrates.

A rivet which can fasten two parts is one of an important mechanical elements. In this study, the process design of a blind revet is implemented using finite element method in order to manufacture it which can resist high vibration and has strong coherence between two parts. Considering plastic flow, ease of manufacture, high strength, material loss, and so forth, an optimal four-stage process is proposed by finite element analysis and process design rules. In addition, the finite element simulation results such as shape of the forged rivet, strain distribution and forging load are investigated for the usefulness of the forging process of the blind rivet. These results will be contributed to the forging process design and the die design of the blind rivet.

In order to establish a technical concept for the detection of defects in weldments in thin steel plate, an experimental and theoretical investigation was carried out for artificial defects in a steel plate having a thickness of 2.4mm by using the guided wave technique. In particular the goal was to find the most effective testing parameters paying attention to the relationship between the excitation frequency by a tone burst system and various incident angles. It was found that the test conditions that worked best was for a frequency of 840kHz and an incident angle of 30 or 85 degrees, most of the defects were detected with these conditions. Also, it was clear that a guided wave mode generated under an incident angle of 30 degrees was a symmetric mode, So, and that of 85 degrees corresponded to an antisymmetric mode, Ao. By using the two modes, most of all of the defects could be detected. Furthermore, it was shown that the antisymmetric mode was more sensitive to defects near the surface than the symmetric mode. Theoretical predictions confirmed this sensitivity improvement with Ao for surface defects because of wave structure variation and energy concentration near the surface.
