In this paper, a meshfree shell adaptive procedure is developed for the applications in the sheet metal forming simulation. The meshfree shell formulation is based on the first-order shear deformable shell theory and utilizes the degenerated continuum and updated Lagrangian approach for the nonlinear analysis. For the sheet metal forming simulation, an h-type adaptivity based on the meshfree background cells is considered and a geometric error indicator is adopted. The enriched nodes in adaptivity are added to the centroids of the adaptive cells and their shape functions are computed using a first-order generalized meshfree (GMF) convex approximation. The GMF convex approximation provides a smooth and non-negative shape function that vanishes at the boundary, thus the enriched nodes have no influence outside the adapted cells and only the shape functions within the adaptive cells need to be re-computed. Based on this concept, a multi-level refinement procedure is developed which does not require the constraint equations to enforce the compatibility. With this approach the adaptive solution maintains the order of meshfree approximation with least computational cost. Two numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method in the adaptive shell analysis.

본 논문은 무인기(UAV) 기반 공중 네트워크 시스템을 위한 polyphase In-phase/Quadrature-phase(I/Q) 네트워크 기반 빔-포밍 수신부를 제안한다. 제안하는 polyphase I/Q 네트워크는 낮은 Q-factor와 높은 임피던스를 갖기 때문에 작은 손실로 벡터 변조기를 구동할 수 있다. 벡터 변조기는 가변 이득 증폭기(VGA)로 구성되며, In-phase 및 Quadrature-phase 위상 신호의 진폭 제어 및 벡터 합을 통해 위상을 가변한다. 제안하는 빔-포밍 수신부는 TSMC $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정을 통해 구현하였다. 프로토타입은 5-6GHz 주파수 대역(-40dB 입력)에서 검증하였다. 6bit 벡터 변조기 제어를 통해 $5.6^{\circ}$ LSB (least significant bit)로 $360^{\circ}$ 위상 가변이 가능하다. 위상 오차는 평균 $1.6^{\circ}$이며, 진폭 오차는 평균 0.3dB이다.

기지국에서 추정된 채널 정보를 바탕으로 빔 성형을 하는 방식은 FDD 시스템과 같이 상/하향링크의 반송파 주파수가 일치하지 않을 경우 지향벡터가 어긋나게 되어 성능 저하가 발생하게 된다. 또한 수신 신호로부터 역방향 링크의 지향벡터를 얻는 blind 추정 기법 역시 하드웨어의 복잡도가 증가하는 단점이 있다. 이와 같은 문제점 해결을 위해 본 논문에서는 사용자의 입사각 추정을 통해 얻어진 상향링크의 무게함수를 하향링크에 적합한 형태로 보정함으로써 원하는 방향으로 빔 성형이 될 수 있도록 다수의 사용자 신호에 대해 공간 푸리에 변환을 수행함으로써 사용자 수의 증가에 따른 빔 성형의 복잡도 증가 문제를 개선해 주는 스마트 안테나 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 CDMA 시스템의 하향링크 송신기에 적용한 후 수신 측에서 프레임 에러율로써 그 성능개선을 확인하였다. 그 결과 주파수 분할 방식의 시스템에서 제안된 알고리즘에 의한 성능 개선이 기존의 스마트안테나 시스템과 동일함을 확인 할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 다중 빔 형성기법을 이용하여 다중 목표물들의 고각을 추정하는 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 배열 소자로 수신되는 신호들을 디지털로 처리해 수신 빔을 스택 빔으로 만들고, 빔 형성기에서는 안테나 소자에 가중치를 적용함으로서 원하는 수신 빔을 생성 할 수 있다. 이때 스택 빔을 구현하기 위해서는 여러 개의 값비싼 위상천이기 필요하지만, 현재는 컴퓨터의 성능이 많이 향상되어 위상변위기 대신에 고속 푸리에 변환을 이용하여 다중스택 빔을 형성한다. 또한 수신기에서 원하는 방향으로 빔을 조향하기 위해서 빔 조향 오차 보정 기법을 적용하여 다중 빔의 지향성을 향상 시킨다. 본 논문에서는 시뮬레이션을 통하여 고속 후리어 변환과 빔 조향오차 보정 기법에 근거를 둔 제안된 고각 추정방법이 기존의 방법에 비해 목표물 추정 면에서 우수함을 보인다.

In the conventional generalized side-lobe canceller (GSC), the output is an estimated error signal that causes the adaptive filter weights do not converge to the optimal value. This paper presents a new side-lobe canceller with adaptive compensator th it reduces the misadjustment of the adaptive filter coefficients for the structural problem in the GSC. The adaptive compensator separates the output signal from the estimated error. The newly estimated error signal converges to the zero while the output signal tracks the target signal. This paper shows improvement of the performance by comparing the computer simulation of the output signal of GSC with the output signal of the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, a remeshing criterion has been suggested in order to order to automate the remeshing decision during finite element analysis of metal forming. In order to use for the remeshing decision, two of remeshing criteria have been investigated. One is the use of error estimates based on errors in stresses and strain rate of the finite element solution and the other is the use of geometric characterisreics of distorted elements. As a result, the strain rate error estimate in power norm based on the former is found to give more valuable information about remeshing decision than the ones based on the latter. Examples are given to demon- strate the usefulness of the suggested eroor estimate as a remeshing criterion.

The torsion bar, which is a steering torque sensor, is mounted between the steering pinion and the input shaft in the IPA(input pinion assembly). Accurate torque measurement is important to improve the sense of operation, and the straightness of the torsion bar can affect torque measurement. In this study, the amount of bending was measured and the exact shape was analyzed regarding the bending phenomenon in the press-fitting process for torsion bars. The effect of alignment error was analyzed through finite element forming analysis. Process data analysis was conducted for the double-end press fit model. If there is an alignment error of about 10% of the serration tooth height, the indentation load is reduced by about 10%. If there is an alignment error, the torsion bar is rotated.

An experimental approach is presented for the measurement of wear that is common in the threading of cold-forged steel. In this work, the first objective is to measure wear on various types of roll taps manufactured to tapping holes in microalloyed HR45 steel. Different geometries and levels of wear are tested and measured. Taking their geometry as the critical factor, the types of forming tap with the least wear and the best performance are identified. Abrasive wear was observed on the forming lobes. A higher number of lobes in the chamber zone and around the nominal diameter meant a more uniform load distribution and a more gradual forming process. A second objective is to identify the most accurate data-mining technique for the prediction of form-tap wear. Different data-mining techniques are tested to select the most accurate one: from standard versions such as Multilayer Perceptrons, Support Vector Machines and Regression Trees to the most recent ones such as Rotation Forest ensembles and Iterated Bagging ensembles. The best results were obtained with ensembles of Rotation Forest with unpruned Regression Trees as base regressors that reduced the RMS error of the best-tested baseline technique for the lower length output by 33%, and Additive Regression with unpruned M5P as base regressors that reduced the RMS errors of the linear fit for the upper and total lengths by 25% and 39%, respectively. However, the lower length was statistically more difficult to model in Additive Regression than in Rotation Forest. Rotation Forest with unpruned Regression Trees as base regressors therefore appeared to be the most suitable regressor for the modeling of this industrial problem.

In the present work a rigid-plastic finite element formulation using dynamic explicit time integration scheme is proposed for numerical analysis of auto-body panel stamping processes. The rigid-plastic finite element method based on membrane elements has long been employed as a useful numerical technique for the analysis of sheet metal forming because of its time effectiveness. A damping scheme is proposed in order to achieve a stable solution procedure in dynamic sheet forming problems. In order to improve the drawbacks of the conventional membrane elements, BEAM(abbreviated from Bending Energy Augmented Membrane) elements are employed. Rotational damping and spring about the drilling direction are introduced to prevent a zero energy mode. The lumping scheme is employed for the diagonal mass matrix and linearizing dynamic formulation. A contact scheme is developed by combining the skew boundary condition and the direct trial-and-error method. Computations are carried out for analysis of complicated auto-body panel stamping processes such as forming of an oilpan, a fuel tank and a front fender. The numerical results of explicit analysis are compared with the implicit results with good agreements and it is shown that the explicit scheme requires much shorter computational time, especially when the problem becomes more complicated. It is thus shown that the proposed dynamic explicit rigid-plastic finite element method enables an effective computation for complicated autobody panel stamping processes.
