This paper aims to develop a submerged propeller turbine for micro hydropower plant which allows to sustain high values of efficiency in a broad range of hydrological conditions (H=2~6 m, $Q=0.15{\sim}0.39m^3/s$). The two aspects to be considered in this development are mechanical simplicity and high-efficiency operation. Unlike conventional turbines that have spiral casing and gear box, this is directing driving and no spiral casing. A 10 kW class turbine which has the most high potential of the power generation has been developed. The most important element in the design of turbine is the runner blade. The initial blade is designed using inverse design method and then the runner geometry is modified by classical hydraulic method. The design process is carried out in two steps. First, the blade shape is fix and then other components of submerged propeller turbine are designed. Computational fluid dynamics analyses based on the Navier-Stokes equations have been used to obtain overall performance data for the blade and the full turbine, respectively. The results generated by performance parameters(head, guide vane opening angle and rotational speed) variations are theoretically analysed. The evaluation criteria for the blade and the turbine performances are the pressure distribution and flow's behavior on the runner blades and turbine. The results of simulation reveals an efficiency of 91.5% and power generation of 10.5kW at the best efficiency point at the head of 4m and a discharge of $0.3m^3/s$.

Shield tunneling method is widely used to build tunnels in complex geological environment. Stability control of tunnel face is the key to the safety of projects. To improve the excavation efficiency or perform equipment maintenance, the excavation chamber sometimes is not fully filled with support medium, which can reduce the load and increase tunneling speed while easily lead to ground collapse. Due to the high risk of the face failure under non-fully support mode, the tunnel face stability should be carefully evaluated. Whether compressive air is required for compensation and how much air pressure should be provided need to be determined accurately. Based on the upper bound theorem of limit analysis, a non-fully support rotational failure model is developed in this study. The failure mechanism of the model is verified by numerical simulation. It shows that increasing the density of supporting medium could significantly improve the stability of tunnel face while the increase of tunnel diameter would be unfavorable for the face stability. The critical support ratio is used to evaluate the face failure under the nonfully support mode, which could be an important index to determine whether the specific unsupported height could be allowed during shield tunneling. To avoid of face failure under the non-fully support mode, several charts are provided for the assessment of compressed air pressure, which could help engineers to determine the required air pressure for face stability.

Bellows are corrugated mechanical elements used to absorb displacements or vibrations caused by temperature changes, pressure, earthquakes, waves, etc., which are welded to flanges or directly connected to pipes. Expansion joint bellows must not only be designed to sufficiently withstand the internal pressure of the pipes but also accommodate axial, transverse, and rotational deformations to minimize the transfer of forces to the sensitive components of the system. Bellows have various types of corrugations, but U-type bellows are most commonly used in general piping systems. In this study, the behavior of U-shaped one-, two-, and three-ply bellows with the same inner diameter under pressure and forced displacement was analyzed using the finite element method. The results were compared with the design formula in the Expansion Joint Manufacturers Association (EJMA)'s code. Manufacturer data were used for the applied pressure and force displacement. The behavioral characteristics of the three cases were compared via structural analysis because the stress levels will be different for each model, even if they have the same inner diameter. Since the analytical model has an axisymmetric shape but displacement occurs in the transverse direction, the finite element model was composed of 1/2 of the whole model, and ANSYS Workbench 17.2 was employed for the analysis.

In a time when product development cycles are getting shorter and shorter, many companies are making efforts to develop products with high reliability in a short period of time, accelerated life test is widely used as a method to quickly evaluate reliability. Accelerated life test reduces the test life or the life of the product from the observed data by shortening the lifetime of the product or abruptly lowering the performance under the worse condition than the actual condition in order to shorten the test cost or the test time. In this paper, BL3640A-06P+RB35, DC12V model, which is used in the support device of an automatic rotation type digital signage, which display various information such as textures and images on a display screen in a public place or a commercial space, BLDC motors were subjected to a constant stress test and at the rotational speed of 1rpm, $180^{\circ}$ rotation and reverse rotation under actual use conditions, the stress was imposed on the rotating speed of 2rpm and the weight of the actual installed product from 22.2kgf to 10kgf were installed. The lifetime of the actual use environment condition is 23,545 hours and the rotation speed is accelerated. The life time of the acceleration condition with the additional weight is 1,380 hours. The acceleration factor is calculated as 17.06, the one year guarantee test day is 235 days to 14 days, of the period from 470 days to 28 days, and the third year from 704 days to 42 days. The test date of the BLDC motor was tested on the shortened test date, and the rotational speed and the current value were measured. It is found that there is no defect even if it operates as the test date corresponding to the specified one year warranty period and the 3 year accelerated life test which is experimented. Using the statistical technique of the regression analysis the expected time for the motor to defect to #4 samples was 20 years.

This paper presents a stiffness analysis method for a low-DOF parallel manipulator, which takes into account of elastic deformations of joints and links. A low-DOF parallel manipulator is defined as a spatial parallel manipulator which has less than six degrees of freedom. Differently from the case of a 6-DOF parallel manipulator, the serial chains in a low-DOF parallel manipulator are subject to constraint forces as well as actuation forces. The reaction forces due to actuations and constraints in each limb can be determined by making use of the theory of reciprocal screws. It is shown that the stiffness model of an F-DOF parallel manipulator consists of F springs related to the reciprocal screws of actuations and 6-F springs related to the reciprocal screws of constraints, which connect the moving platform to the fixed base in parallel. The $6{times}6$ stiffness matrix is derived, which is the sum of the stiffness matrices of actuations and constraints. The six spring constants can be precisely determined by modeling the compliance of joints and links in a serial chain as follows; the link can be considered as an Euler beam and the stiffness matrix of rotational or prismatic joint can be modeled as a $6{times}6$ diagonal matrix, where one diagonal element about the rotation axis or along the sliding direction is zero. By summing the elastic deformations in joints and links, the compliance matrix of a serial chain is obtained. Finally, applying the reciprocal screws to the compliance matrix of a serial chain, the compliance values of springs can be determined. As an example of explaining the procedure, the stiffness of the Tricept parallel manipulator has been analyzed.

IMO에서 제시한 EEDI를 만족시키기 위해 에너지 절감 장치에 대한 관심이 증대되었다. 본 논문에서는 전류고정날개를 부착한 KVLCC2를 대상선으로 선정하여 에너지 절감 선박에 대해 연구하였다. 계산 결과의 정도를 검증하기 위해 모형선의 공칭반류를 모사하여 실험과 비교하였으며, 실선 스케일 계산에서는 격자 민감도에 대해 불확실성 평가를 하였다. 모형선과 실선 스케일 계산결과를 보면 전류고정날개는 추진기로 유입되는 반류의 회전성분을 변화시켜 추력에 도움을 주었다. ITTC에서 제시한 방법을 이용하여 실선의 성능을 예측해 보았으며, 이를 보안하는 방법을 제안하였다.

Purpose: To derive the optimal conditions for the Rubber based colloidal suspension manufacturing process, which made using a stirrer, to apply the mixture design method. Methods: We used two process component and one process variable Mixture design to derive the optimal conditions for the process. The response variables were selected for rotational viscometer measures which can represent Rubber based colloidal suspension quality. The input variables were selected as the values of rubber-organic solvent expressed in proportions as process components and stirring amount as a process variable which are controllable factors in the process. Results: Based on the results of the experiment, rubber and organic solvent and the interaction between stirring amount and rubber and the interaction between stirring amount and rubber and organic solvent were significant. Reproducibility of the regression model was confirmed by the observation that the values obtained from the reproducibility experiment fell within the confidence interval. Additionally, the model predictions were found to be in close agreement with the field measurements. Conclusion: In this study, a regression model was developed to predict the viscosity change of colloidal suspensions based on the proportion of rubber based colloidal suspension. The developed regression model can lead to improved product quality.

자동차에 부착하여 사용하는 자전거 캐리어 지지용 흡착 패드는 운행 중 임의의 진동과 원심력과 같은 과도한 동적 하중을 받을 수 있어, 구조 안전성의 검토가 중요하다. 이를 위해서는 유체-구조 연계 유한요소해석을 이용하여 패드의 하부 압력이 패드에 가해지는 하중이나 모멘트의 변화에 따라 실시간으로 변화하는 것을 고려하여야 하나, 실제 상황의 모델링이 어렵고 계산을 위한 소프트웨어 비용이 높은 단점이 있기도 하지만, 정확한 결과를 얻기도 어렵다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 실험과 전산적인 방법을 조합하여 활용하는 새로운 방법을 제시한다. 이는 변화하는 하중에 따라 패드 하부의 압력과 접촉 면적을 실시간으로 측정하고 여기서 얻어진 데이터를 비선형 탄성 유한요소해석에 입력하여 활용하는 방법이다. 개발 단계의 제품 형상으로 실험 및 계산을 수행한 결과, 마운트 패드는 축 방향 하중에 대해서는 비교적 안전하나, 회전 하중이 과도하게 작용할 경우 패드가 바닥으로부터 분리되거나 패드 표면에 국부적인 손상이 일어날 수 있어 안전 여유가 많지 않음을 보여주었다. 작용하는 하중의 크기 및 형태에 따라 변화하는 접촉 거동을 예측하는 결과는 실험 결과와 잘 일치하였다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 해석 방법은 유사한 흡착 패드 시스템을 설계할 때 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

응답면 기법(RSM)을 이용하여 해상풍력(OWT) 모노파일에 대한 신뢰성 해석을 수행하였다. 모노파일은 해수면으로부터 15m 깊이에 설치되고 사질토에 근입되는 조건으로 고려하였다. 풍하중 및 파랑하중과 같은 해양환경하중이 작용하는 OWT 모노파일에 대한 신뢰성 해석은 KIOST에서 개발된 신뢰성 해석프로그램인 HSRBD를 이용하였다. OWT 모노파일(직경 6m)의 설계변수에 대한 민감도 분석을 수행한 결과 파일직경이 증가할수록 파일두부에서의 수평변위 및 회전각에 대한 파괴확률은 감소하나 직경이 7m 이상이 되는 경우 파괴확률의 감소율은 작아져 거의 일정해지는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 국내기준 가운데 파일직경의 1%를 허용수평변위(60mm)로 적용하는 경우 파일의 파괴확률은 1.5%이나 최소기준인 15mm로 고려하는 경우 파괴확률은 60%로 큰 차이가 발생하므로 이에 대한 적절한 설계기준의 정립이 요구된다. 마지막으로 OWT 모노파일의 다양한 설계변수 가운데 기초지반(사질토)에 대한 내부마찰각의 불확실성이 큰 경우 이것이 파일거동에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었으며, 민감도 분석결과는 최적설계와 파괴확률 감소를 위해 어떠한 절차가 필요한지를 보여준다.
