The automobile industry is representative industry of complex characteristics, which employing 10 million people, the largest manufacturing industry over $1 trillion in sales and assembling with 20,000 parts to make complete automobile and automobile assembly processes have a lower automation rate than other processes, which is labor intensive processes of assembling to painted body with 3,000 components such as seats, built-in, instrument panel, glass, engine, transmission units. However, the current assembly process does not have real-time monitoring. If a tool position tracking system is adapted to assembly process for directing consistent work order and checking for missing work, the productivity and quality improvement of the assembly process can be achieved by preemptively preventing possible defects in the assembly process. So, this paper aims to develop a Tool Position tracking system using UWB(Ultra Wide Band) with trilateration and proves their effectiveness for real-time monitoring of automotive assembly process.

In this paper, we have implemented the unified fuel heater and performance evaluation system for diesel cars. In order to strengthen an engine starting of diesel car, we need to assembly the fuel filter and heater. Especially, this assembly fuel heater is very important in winter, it is necessary for heating to operate the diesel engine. The heater for unifying the sensor and heater body can advance the performance of car and reduce the production cost. Finally, the performance test chamber is needed to evaluate the performance of heater.

ACE 2000 ATM 교환기를 이용하여 MPLS 교환기를 구현 시, ATM 가입자 및 중계선을 수용하여 스위치와 정합 기능을 수행하는 AIM(ATM interface module)에 IP 패킷에 대한 룩업을 수행하여 ATM 스위치로 패킷을 포워딩하는 HFEA(High performance Forwarding Engine board Assembly)를 연동하기 위해서는 UTOPIA Level2 연결이 요구된다. 그러나 HFEA 에서 622Mbps 급 성능의 MXT4400(SAR) 칩은 TSAR(Transmit SAR)로 운용 시 Master모드로 동작하게 되고, AIM 모듈 또한 Rx에서 Master모드로 동작하기 때문에 이들을 연결하기 위해서는 양 모듈간에서 Slave 모드로 동작할 수 있는 UTOPIA Controller가 필요하게 된다. 이에 따라 ALMA(AW Layer Module Assembly)칩과 HFEA TSAR 사이에서 데이터를 전달하는 UTOPIA Controller를 Xilinx를 이용해 FPGA로 구현하였다.

A 75ton thrust turbopump system for liquid rocket engine was analyzed thermally and mechanically. A 2D axisymmetric model of the turbopump assembly was created. In the analysis operation cycle including chill-down, operation and post operation steps were considered. Appropriate heat transfer conditions for each step were modeled and applied. Transient temperature distribution was calculated, consequent mechanical analysis was conducted to predict stress and deformation. Effects of external heat insulators and heat dissipation at the bearings were considered in the heat transfer analysis.

In this paper, a shape optimization technique is applied to design of an air-conditioner mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is a structural component of an engine, on which bolts attach an air-conditioner compressor. The air-conditioner mounting bracket has a large portion of weight among the engine components. To reduce weight of the bracket, the shape is optimized using a finite element software. The compressor assembly, composed of a compressor and a bracket is modeled using finite elements. An objective function for the shape optimization of the bracket is the weight of the bracket. Two design constraints on the bracket are the first resonant frequency of the compressor assembly and the fatigue life of the bracket. The design variables are the shape of the bracket including thickness profiles of the front and back surfaces of the bracket, radius of outer bolt-holes, and side edge profiles. The coordinates of the FE nodes control the shape parameters. Optimal shapes of the bracket are obtained by using SOL200 of MSC/NASTRAN.

The disk/blade assembly of a turbine engine is made in the shape of a dovetail type or a fir-tree type. Since disk fillet regions or contact surfaces undergo high stress comcentration, fatigue cracks frequentrly occur in the disk/blade assembly. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the stress distributions in the fir-tree type disk/balde assembly and predict the region of fatigue failure. The stress distributions of the disk/blade assembly were investigated by using the photoelastic method and the finite element method. Two dimensional photoelastic techniques were used to investigate the stress distributions of contact surfaces and fillet regions. TH stress distributions were obtained by the shear-difference method and were compared to the finite element results. It was found that maximum tensile stresses were higher in the fillet region thatn in the contact surfaces of the fir-tree models. The finite element results showed good agreement with the experimental results.

A piston assembly is very important because it directly receives the energy generated during combustion process. Surely, the friction and lubrication of piston-ring pack do an important role in the performance and fuel economy of an engine. In fact, the friction loss in piston-ring pack is the biggest portion to the whole engine friction. Therefore, the improvement of lubrication quality and friction loss in piston-ring pack will be directly related with the improvement in the performance and fuel economy of an engine. Meanwhile, the oil consumption and blow-by gas through piston-cylinder-ring crevices have to be controlled as less as possible. In these two aspects, the study on the optimized design of piston-ring pack has to be carried out. In this study, for the efficient design of piston-ring pack, it is focused to develop a basic computer program that predicts the inter-ring pressure, the motion of ring and the blow-by gas through a crevice volume model between adjacent rings, and the oil film thickness and the friction computed by lubrication theories.

Hot test of a full-scale turbopump for a 30-ton-thrust liquid rocket engine was carried out. The turbopump is composed of an oxidizer pump, a fuel pump, and a turbine on a single shaft. Model fluid was used in the test, that is, hot air for the turbine and water for the pumps. The turbopump was operated stably at full speed for 120 seconds. In terms of performance characteristics of pumps and turbine, the results from the turbopump assembly test are compared with those from the turbopump component tests which were performed at about half of the design rotational speed.
