Hematite particles were obtained by hydrothermal reaction of ferric hydroxide in the presence of small amount of citric acid which is acted as crystal growth controller. The effects of hydrothermal reaction condition son the morphology and crystal structure of powder were investigated using X-ray, TEM and FT-IR. Ellipsoidal or rectangular hematite particles were formed in the range of pH 10.75~11.75 as initial basicity of reactants and 3$\times$10-5 ~9$\times$10-5 mol as citric acid content. Crystallization of hematite was inhibited in the range of pH9. 0~10.5 and above citric acid content of $1.5\times$10-4 mol. Hematite particle length and aspect ratio were decreased gradually with increasing of citric acid content. Hematite particles formed at 14$0^{\circ}C$ exhibited particle properties with the length of 0.7 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and aspect ratio of 8. Hematite particles having a good acicular-type were not obtained above 22$0^{\circ}C$.

Nozzle of the double-plated grid plays the role of the spring to support a fuel rod as well as to provide the coolant path in grid. The nozzle was known to be necessary to reduce the spring stiffness for supporting performance. In this study the contact analysis between the fuel rod and the nozzle type spacer grid was performed by using ABAQUS standard to propose the preferable shape in tenn of spring performance. Two small cuts at the upper and lower part of the nozzle appeared to have a minor effect in decreasing the nozzle stiffness. A long slot at the center of the nozzle was turned out not only to decrease the spring constant as desired but also to increase the elastic displacement.

An algorithm is proposed for computing dynamic displacements of a bridge using FBG sensors. An existing algorithm for estimating dynamic displacements of a simply supported beam through mode superposition is extended and applied to various types of bridges with bending and torsional modes. The proposed algorithm is examined through field tests on a suspension span steel deck plate box girder bridge. Guidelines are provided for determining the number of modes and the number of strain gages to be used.

Sometimes open holes are required for the function and the weight reduction of structure and machinery. However, the serious stress concentration occurs because of the geometric discontinuity caused by the holes and cutting section. In this study, it is attempted to obtain the stress concentration coefficients of the inner surface of the hole boundary by changing the position and the shape of holes on the homogeneous isotropic plate. And the effects on the plate are investigated. The results show that the stress level becomes low and the distribution area widens the position of stress concentration changes as the ratio a/b increases and change to a circle. And as the ratio a/l decreases, the stress concentration reduces. As the plate with three holes. the stress $\sigma$$\_$x/ and $\tau$$\_$xy/ of hole 1,3 becomes high, especially $\sigma$$\_$x/ dominant and high.

Producing the relevant information (features) from the CAD models of CAM, called feature recognition or extraction, is the essential stage for the integration of CAD and CAM. Most feature recognition methods, however, have problems in the recognition of intersecting features because they do not handle the intersection geometry properly. In this paper, we propose a machining feature recognition algorithm, which has a solid model consisting of orthogonal primitives as input. The algorithm calculates candidate features and constitutes the Intersection Geometry Matrix which is necessary to represent the spatial relation of candidate features. Finally, it recognizes machining features from the proposed candidate features dividing and growing systems using half space and Boolean operation. The algorithm has the following characteristics: Though the geometry of part is complex due to the intersections of design primitives, it can recognize the necessary machining features. In addition, it creates the Maximal Feature Volumes independent of the machining sequences at the feature recognition stage so that it can easily accommodate the change of decision criteria of machining orders.

For effective part modifications which is necessary in the design process frequently, variational geometric modeling with constraint management being used in a wide. Most variational geometric modeling methods, however, manage just the constraints about sketch elements used for generation of primitives. Thus, not only constraint propagation but also re-build of various modeling operations stored in the modeling history is necessary iota part geometry modifications. Especially, re-build of high-cost Boolean operations is apt to deteriorate overall modeling efficiency abruptly. Therefore, in this paper we proposed an algorithm that can handle all geometric entities of the part directly. For this purpose, we introduced eight type geometric constraints to the various geometric calculations about all geometric entities in sweepings and Boolean operations as well as the existing constraints of the sketch elements. The algorithm has a merit of rapid part geometric modifications through only constraint propagation without rebuild of modeling operations which are necessary in the existing variational geometric modeling method.

The use of 3-D finite elements for the eigen analysis of beam-like structures with arbitrary section shape may not be practical in certain cases, from the aspect of CPU time. In this connection, this paper presents a systematic algorithm for decomposing an arbitrary section into finite number of basic ones and computing essential sectional quantities required for the eigen analysis using the beam theory. The numerical accuracy of the proposed method is assesed from the comparison with the 3-D finite . element method.

This paper presents a numerical evaluation of the flow rate of air conditioner outdoor unit as function of shroud design parameters. To determine the optimal design parameters, we investigated the flow rate by changing bell mouth height, fan height, fan guide height, fan width. The evaluation of the relative priority of the design parameters was performed to choose three important parameters in order to use a response surface method. The flow rate of the optimum model, compared to that of the base model, was increased by about 6.25%.

Recently, there have been reported on the results that the material life is reduced by fretting conditions and the initial crack made by low stress under fretting. The purpose of this paper is to show that the results of finite element analysis for the fretting contact problems of a flat rounded punch are nearly consistent with the theoretical solutions and to research that the results about effects of the contact zone according to geometries and mechanical properties of pad.

This paper presents the improvement of dynamic characteristics in Interior Permanent Magnet (IPM) type BLDC motor with notch. The notch is applied on the surface of the rotor to reduce the cogging torque and to improve dynamic characteristics. The current, inductance and torque of initial model and optimal model are analyzed by FEA. The validity of improved dynamic characteristics is confirmed.
