Purpose: During tillage operations, the selection of a working machine (tool) depends on the soil conditions as well as the type of tillage operation to be performed. The goal of this research was to ascertain the effects of varying working machine parameters of a compact disc harrow on tillage operations under various soil moisture content (SMC) conditions. Methods: The working machine parameters were the disc spacing and machine speed. The tillage parameters under investigation were the soil inversion ratio (SIR), tillage cutting depth (TCD), and soil clod breakage ratio (SCB). To determine the SIR, the areas of the white regions before and after tillage were obtained. The ratio of the difference of the areas of the white regions before and after tillage to the area of the white regions before tillage was considered as the SIR. The SCB was obtained as the ratio of the weight of soil clods after sieving with a mesh size of <0.02 m to the total weight of the soil clods before sieving. The soil TCD was measured using a tape measure at random points after the tillage operation. The resulting data were statistically analyzed in a one-way analysis of variance. Results: The highest soil inversion was achieved when the machine speed was 0.2 m/s with the disc spaced at 0.2 m in the 16.5% SMC. At a 0.4-m/s machine speed and 0.3-m disc spacing the highest soil breakage was achieved in the 26.5% SMC. The highest TCD was achieved at a 0.2-m/s machine speed and 0.2-m disc spacing in the 16.5% SMC. Conclusions: It was concluded that varying the working machine parameters, such as the disc spacing and machine speed, could significantly affect the soil inversion and soil clod breakage; however, it had no significant impact on the TCD.

Since the most of Korean dairy and cattle raising farms are too small to introduce western mechanized farming, it is necessary to develope small size equipments. This study has been carried to develop a rotary mower as on attachment of 8 to 10 horse powertiller which is widely spread in rural area. It will not ony be helpfull for the farmers to harvesting hay grass but also desirable to increase the power tiller utility. The protto type rotary mower designed through the fundamental investigations, has been modified and improved through the field trials, and a series of field tests has been carried to investigate its performance and economic feasibility comparing with existing vailable harvesting equipments. The results are as follows; 1. To increase the stability, two guide wheels are attached to both side of the protto type rotary mower. 2. To prevent the clinging of tall grasses, the vertical driving shafts are covered with cylindrical protectors. 3. The cutting height is adjustable in 8 steps from 2.5 to 20 centimeters by changing the length of guide wheel legs. 4. The practical Critical cutting speed were always higher than theoretical value in both case of single cutting blade and three when the cutting depth was 25 millimeter. 5. The peripheral speed of cutting blade was varied in response to the change of engine speed, mean while the peripheral speed was adequate as it was changhed from 25 to 35 meter per second when the power tiller is operated in proper working ground speed. 6. The time requirement to harvest 10 a were 88.7, 54.6 and 41.4 minutes for the first, second and third stage of ground speed respectively, and because of the difficulty of delivery, it was observed that operating with fourth stage of ground speed was not recomanendable when the grass height is taller than 90 centimeters. 7. The performance of rotary mower were 1.1-1.7, 1.4-4.0, 3.8-11.8 and 7.4-22.0 times of reciprocating mower, portable disc type cutter, hay scythe and ordinary sickle respectively. 8. When the slope exceeds, 20 degree the downward harvesting operation was impossible because of the excessive front end weight, while less than 5 degree of land slope did not effect in field operation. 9. Increased traveling spee caused higher cutting height and slight cutting failure, but seems not to effect to the gross yield, and the efficiency of cutting width were from 83 to 94 precent. 10. Tn rank of economy were rotary mower (3,2 stage operation), reciprocating mower, hay scythe, portable disc type cutter and sickle in order when the annul operation exdeeds 100 hours. From the above results, it is convinced that the protto type rotary mower is good enough to the livestock farmers as a hay harvesting equipment because of its economy, hardiness in operating and its out standing performance and hopefully it will contribute to the extension of Korean livestock farming.

본 연구는 변형률게이지와 열전대, 적외선 열화상카메라를 사용하여 선형절삭실험 동안 디스크커터의 축에 발생하는 축응력과 토크를 측정하고 디스크커터의 내부와 외부의 온도를 파악하고자 하였다. 실험결과, 축응력과 토크의 최대값은 각각 11.3 MPa, $171kN{\cdot}m$로 측정되었으며, 축응력과 토크는 회전력보다는 디스크커터의 연직력과 상관성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 선형절삭실험 동안 열전대로 측정한 결과, 디스크커터의 온도변화는 $0.2^{\circ}C$ 이내로 나타났다. 그러나 수행된 각 선형절삭작업이 연속적으로 이루어진다고 가정한 다음, 디스크커터의 내부온도와 커터 링 표면의 온도변화를 추정한 결과, 커터간격이 70 mm인 경우에는 각각 $0.1^{\circ}C/m$, $0.15{\sim}0.17^{\circ}C/m$로 예상되었고 커터간격이 90 mm인 경우에는 각각 $0.09^{\circ}C/m$, $0.13{\sim}0.23^{\circ}C/m$로 추정되었다.

Diamond-like-carbon (DLC) coatings could be good candidates as solid lubricants for cutting tools in dry machining of aluminum alloy. In this work, DLC thin films were produced as a friction reduction coating for WC-Co insert tip using the plasma immersion ion beam deposition (PIIED) technique. DLC coatings were also coated on $Al_2O_3$ specimens and high temperature wear tested up to $400^{\circ}C$ in dry air to observe the survivability of the DLC coating in simulated severe cutting conditions using a pin-on-disc tribotester with Hertzian contact stress of 1.3GPa. It showed reduced friction coefficients of minimum 0.02 up to $400^{\circ}C$. And cutting performance of DLC coated WC-Co insert tips to Al 6061 alloy were conducted in a high speed machining center. The main problems of built-up edge formation in aluminum machining are drastically reduced with improved surface roughness. The improvements were mainly related to the low friction coefficient of DLC to Al alloy and the anti-adhesion of Al alloy to WE due to the inertness of DLC.

Numerical simulation of chip formation during high speed machining requires knowing the friction at tool/chip interface. This parameter is hardly identified and generally the loadings (temperature, force) during the identification are not similar to those encountered during machining. Thus, Coulomb friction identified with pin-on-disc device is often used to conduct numerical simulation. The used of this technique cannot leads to good numerical results of chip formation compared to the experimental tests especially in the case of low uncut chip thickness. In this contribution, we propose a new method to evaluate the friction at tool/chip interface. In fact several Coulomb friction parameters are identified corresponding to several parts of the cutting tool. Experimental tests have been conducted allowed us to determinate both the level and the distribution of the Coulomb friction. Experimental results are also compared to the results of orthogonal cutting simulation. We show that this technique allows predicting accuracy results of chip formation.

In this study, the effect of the tensile strength and ratio of disc spacing to penetration depth on the efficiency of tunnel boring machine (TBM) is investigated using Particle flow code (PFC) in two dimensions. Models with dimensions of $150{\times}70mm$ made of rocks with four different tensile strength values of 5 MPa, 10 MPa, 15 MPa and 20 MPa were separately analyzed and two "U" shape cutters with width of 10 mm were penetrated into the rock model by velocity rate of 0.1 mm/s. The spacing between cutters was also varied in this study. Failure patterns for 5 different penetration depths of 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, and 7 mm were registered. Totally 100 indentation test were performed to study the optimal tool-rock interaction. An equation relating mechanical rock properties with geometric characteristics for the optimal TBM performance is proposed. The results of numerical simulations show that the effective rock-cutting condition corresponding to the minimum specific energy can be estimated by an optimized disc spacing to penetration depth, which, in fact, is found to be proportional to the rock's tensile strength.

Tunnel boring machine (TBM)의 설계에 있어서 지반과 직접적으로 맞닿아 절삭을 담당하는 커터헤드의 설계에 따라서 장비의 굴진효율이 달라지게 된다. 디스크커터는 배치되는 위치에 따라 센터 커터 존, 이너 커터 존, 트렌지션 커터 존으로 구분된다. 기존에도 페이스커터의 최적 절삭조건을 규명하기 위한 연구는 많이 진행되어 왔으나, 트렌지션 커터의 최적 절삭조건을 규명하기 위한 연구는 상대적으로 미진하였다. 본 연구에서는 트렌지션 커터의 최적의 절삭조건을 규명하기 위해 개별요소법 수치해석을 수행하고 트렌지션 커터 사이의 각도에 따른 비에너지 곡선을 작도하여 최적 절삭조건을 알아보고자 하였다. 수치해석 결과 전이영역에서 최소 비에너지를 보이는 트렌지션 커터 사이의 각도 9°인 것으로 확인되었다. 이를 트렌지션 커터의 경사각에 따라 3가지 영역으로 구분하고 영역별 디스크커터 사이의 각도와 비에너지를 정리한 결과 트렌지션 커터의 경사각이 커질수록 최적 비에너지를 보이는 트렌지션 커터 사이의 각도는 10°에서 8°까지 점차 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 기존에 사용되고 있는 트렌지션 커터의 설계 결과와 유사한 경향으로써, 본 연구의 결과를 밑받침한다.

TBM의 주요 절삭도구인 디스크커터는 과다하게 마모되거나 손상된 경우 적절한 시기에 교체되어야 한다. 일반적으로 커터의 교체여부를 판단하기 위해서 작업자가 커터헤드 챔버의 내부로 접근하여 디스크 커터의 상태와 마모량을 계측하고 있다. 하지만 커터헤드(cutterhead) 챔버(chamber) 내부는 작업자에게 열악한 조건일 경우가 많아 작업자의 안전과 관련한 이슈가 있으며, 인력에 의해서 계측이 이루어짐에 따라 계측치의 오차도 발생하는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 이러한 한계점을 극복하고자 현재 해외에서는 디스크커터의 마모정도를 계측센서를 통해 굴착 중에 실시간으로 측정하기 위한 기술의 개발이 활발하게 이루어지고 있으며, 본 연구에서는 현재까지 해외의 문헌을 통해 보고되고 있는 TBM 디스크커터의 마모량 계측에 관한 연구현황에 대하여 소개하고자 하였다. 여러 형식의 센서가 디스크커터의 마모계측을 위해 활용되고 있으며, 향후 국내에서도 유사한 기술의 개발이 이루어지는 경우에 유용한 참고자료가 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In metal cutting at the tool-chip interface, friction generates considerable amount of heat. Thus, the knowledge of wear properties of cutting tool material in high temperature has been as one of important factors in need of clarification. The authors presented the wear properties of 5%Co-5%V-1%Nb high speed steel, fabricated by powder metallurgy, in room temperature in previous articles. The objective of this paper is to clarify the effects of temperature on its wear properties. Wear tests in sliding conditions under various temperatures have been conducted using the pin-on-disc type wear test machine. The results indicate that the wear properties of 5%Co-5%V-1%Nb high speed steel in high temperature as well as in room temperature are excellent. It may be deduced that the oxide layer formed on worn surface at high temperature is stable enough to prevent wear due to the high temperature strength of its matrix.
