Modeling and control of human-involved manufacturing systems poses a huge challenge on how to model all possible interactions among system components within the time and space dimensions. As the manufacturing environment are getting complicated, the importance of human in the manufacturing system is getting more and more spotlighted to incorporate the manufacturing flexibility. This paper presents a formal modeling methodology of affordance-based MPSG (Message-based Part State Graph) for a human-machine collaboration system incorporating supervisory control scheme for flexible manufacturing systems in automotive industry. Basically, we intend to extend the existing model of affordance-based MPSG to the real industrial application of humanmachine cooperative environments. The suggested extension with the real industrial example is illustrated in three steps; first, the manufacturing process and relevant data are analyzed in perspectives of MABA-MABA and the supervisory control; second, the manufacturing processes and task allocation between human and machine are mapped onto the concept of MABA-MABA; and the last, the affordance-based MPSG of humanmachine collaboration for the manufacturing process is presented with UMLs for verification.

Fretting fatigue behavior of SCM420 steel commonly used in the automotive industry for structural applications was investigated in this study. In addition, the effect of bridge pad on the fretting fatigue test was evaluated from different pad materials and following conclusions were drawn. Simple fatigue limit of SCM 420 steel was determined to be 350 MPa while this value was 225 MPa and 285.5 MPa with SCM420H and with SM45C pad, respectively. Reduction in fatigue limit was, thus found to be 35.7% and 17.9% with SCM 420H pad and SM45C pad, respectively. Results of fracture surface observation revealed that typical striation pattern of fatigue failure existed as well as dimpled and cleavage frature appearance was found in final fractured region. From the EDS compositional analysis, test sample and pad part all had high signals for oxygen and iron, suggesting that worn particles might be iron oxide, although exact chemical composition has to be confirmed. Considerable reduction in fatigue life was apparent in SCM 420 steel under fretting fatigue against simple fatigue. Such reduced fatigue life by fretting damage should be considered as an important factor not only in the viewpoint of repairing but also inevitably in the design stage of structural components.

This study proposes a method to improve the sleep stage and efficiency estimation of sleep apnea patients using a UWB (Ultra-Wideband) radar. Motion and respiration extracted from the radar signal were used. Respiratory signal disturbances by motion artifacts and irregular respiration patterns of sleep apnea patients are compensated for in the preprocessing stage. Preprocessing calculates the standard deviation of the respiration signal for a shift window of 15 seconds to estimate thresholds for compensation and applies it to the breathing signal. The method for estimating the sleep stage is based on the difference in amplitude of two kinds of smoothed respirations signals. In smoothing, the window size is set to 10 seconds and 34 seconds, respectively. The estimated feature was processed by the k-nearest neighbor classifier and the feature filtering model to discriminate between the sleep periods of the rapid eye movement (REM) and non-rapid eye movement (NREM). The feature filtering model reflects the characteristics of the REM sleep that occur continuously and the characteristics that mainly occur in the latter part of this stage. The sleep efficiency is estimated by using the sleep onset time and motion events. Sleep onset time uses estimated features from the gradient changes of the breathing signal. A motion event was applied based on the estimated energy change in the UWB signal. Sleep efficiency and sleep stage accuracy were assessed with polysomnography. The average sleep efficiency and sleep stage accuracy were estimated respectively to be about 96.3% and 88.8% in 18 sleep apnea subjects.

물 부족 시대에 양변기 절수는 물을 절약하는데 가장 효과적인 방법 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 고절수형 양변기 개발을 위한 이상유동 해석을 위해 VOF 기법을 이용하였다. VOF를 이용한 전체 모델의 해석은 많은 시간이 요구되므로 전체모델의 일부분만 고려하는 부분모델도 해석시간 단축을 위해 사용하였다. 유량배분 해석을 위해 4개의 서로 다른 림 모델을 고려하였는데 림 홀의 위치나 개수보다는 림 홀의 크기가 유량배분을 효과적으로 달성하기 위한 인자임이 본 연구를 통해 밝혀졌다. 또한, 전체모델 해석을 통해 사이펀 현상에 따른 이상유동의 속도 및 압력도 분석하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 고절수형 양변기 모델 개발을 위한 다양한 기초 데이터를 제공한다.

온간단조(warm forging) 가공은 가공소재(Billet)를 $800^{\circ}C$ 정도로 가열하여 금형의 다이블록 임프레션(impression) 상면(上面)에 위치결정 시켜 단조하고 있는데, 이 단조가공 과정에서 산화스케일의 비산에 따른 작업자의 화상에 대한 위험도와 산화스케일이 다이블록의 임프레이션에 부착 되거나 열처리기술 미흡으로 금형수명(die life)을 단축시키며 다이블록 안에 분무하는 이형제는 유해먼지, 유해증기, 미스트, 퓸, 악취 등을 발생시켜 작업장 환경을 오염시킴으로써 직무기피 직종으로 분리되기 때문에 생산량 목표 달성에 큰 문제점으로 대두 되고 있다. 더욱이 다이블록의 임프레이션 마멸부위를 수리보수하기 위한 재생공법의 미흡으로 납기지연, 금형비 상승의 요인으로 나타나므로 이에 대한 재생공법 개선과 작업장의 공해물 제거장치의 개발이 요망되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 황동제 관 이음쇠의 온간단조가공에서 도출된 빌릿가열시 문제점, 금형재생 보수시 문제점, 제조원가의 상승요인 등을 외국의 기술과 비교하여 온간단조 금형제작방법개선, 금형재생보수공법 개선, 유해가스 제거장치를 도입하여 환경친화형 작업장 개선 등으로 문제점을 해결 하고자 하였다.

본 연구에서는 전동킥보드 브레이크 디스크 열전달을 해석하였다. 브레이크 디스크의 패드 접촉면에 따라 다른 열이 전달된다. 접촉면에서 멀어진 부분에서는 온도가 작아지는 경향이 거의 일정하였으며 Model A가 Model B 보다는 약간 더 낮은 온도 분포를 보였다. Model A가 Model B에 비하여 그 최대 등가응력이 7% 정도 더 높다. 설계시에 타원형으로 패드와 접촉하는 Model B가 원형인 Model A 보다는 그 응력이 감소됨을 보였다. 접촉면 위쪽으로 열이 더 많이 전달되는 것으로 미루어 볼 때 설계시 브레이크 디스크의 모서리 부분을 고려하여 본다면 Model B가 Model A보다 그 강도가 더 크다고 사료된다. 본 연구 결과를 전동킥 보드의 설계에 활용한다면 더 강도가 좋은 브레이크 디스크 설계를 할 수 있을 것이라고 생각된다. 본 연구 결과를 전동킥보드 브레이크 디스크에 적용함으로서 열에 대한 브레이크의 내구성을 평가할 수 있고 그 결과가 강성 있는 브레이크의 설계와 미적인 융합이 될 수 있다고 보인다.

Recent research has focused on alternative fuel to improve engine performance and to comply with emission regulation. Finding an alternative fuel and reducing environment pollution are the main goals for future internal combustion engines. The purpose of this study is to obtain low-emission and high-efficiency by hydrogen enriched CNG fuel in SI engine and is to clarify the effects of hydrogen enrichment in CNG fuelled engine on exhaust emission and performance. An experimental study was carried out to obtain fundamental data for performance and emission characteristics of hydrogen enrichment in SI engine. The experiment was conducted at 2500 rpm, bmep 2 bar, 4 bar conditions while CNG fuel was mixed with 10, 20 and 30% hydrogen blends. From the experimental results, combustion duration was shortened due to rapid flame propagation velocity of hydrogen and these were attributed to the burning velocity increasing exponentially with increasing hydrogen blending ratio. Hydrogen has much wider flammable limit than methane, gasoline and the minimum ignition energy is about an order of magnitude lower than for other combustion. By adding hydrogen, $CO_2$ and HC were reduced. However, $NO_X$ was increased dut to high rate of heat release for hydrogen substitutions.

The objective of this study is to suggest the form rolling technology to produce high precision worm on the base of three dimensional finite element simulation and experiment. It is important to determine the initial workpiece diameter in form rolling because it affects the quality of tooth profile. The calculation method of the initial workpiece diameter in form rolling is suggested and it is verified by finite element simulation. The form rolling processes of worm shaft used as automotive part using both the rack dies of counter flow type and the roll dies are considered and simulated with the same numerical model as actual process by the commercial finite element code, BEFORM-3D. Deformation modes of workpiece between the form rolling by the rack dies of counter flow type and the roll dies are investigated from the result of simulation. The experiments using rack dies and roll dies are performed under the same conditions as those of simulation. The surface roughness, the straightness and the profile of worm are measured precisely using the worm shafts obtained from experiment. The results of simulation and experiment in this study show that the form rolling process of worn shaft using the rack dies is decidedly superior to that using roll dies from the aspect of the precision of worm such as the surface roughness, the straightness and the profile of worm.

The Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS) is a part of the active safety system, providing optimized vision to the driver during night time and other poor-sight conditions of the road by automatic adaptation of lighting to environmental and traffic conditions. Basically, an AFS provides four different modes of the passing beam as designated in an United Nations Economic Commission for Europe regulation (ECE324-R123): neutral state or country light (Class C), urban light (Class V), highway light (Class E), and adverse weather light (Class W). In this paper, we first present an optics design for an AFS system capable of producing the Class C/V/E/W patterns requiring only on/off modulation of multi-array LEDs with no need for any additional mechanical components. The AFS optics consists of two separated modules, cutoff and spread; the cutoff module lights a narrow central area with high luminous intensity, satisfying the cutoff regulation, and the spread module forms a wide spread beam of low luminous intensity. Each module consists of two major parts; the first converts a discretely positioned LED array into a full-filled area emitting light source plane, and the second projects the light source plane to a 25 m away target plane. With the combination of these two optics modules, the four beam patterns are formed by simple on/off modulation of multi-array LEDs. Then we report the development of a prototype that was demonstrated to provide the four beam patterns.
