In this paper, we introduce an intelligent robotic arc welding system which exploits sensors like as LVS (Laser Vision Sensor), Hall effect sensor, voltmeter and so on. The use of industrial robot is saturated because of its own limitation, and one of the major limitations is that industrial robot cannot recognize the environment. Lately, sensor-based environmental awareness research of the industrial robot is performed actively to overcome such limitation, and it can expand application field and improve productivity. We classify the sensor-based intelligent arc welding robot system by the goal and the sensing data. The goals can be categorized into detection of a welding start point, tracking of a welding line and correction of a torch deformation. The Sensing data can be categorized into welding data (i.e. current, voltage and short circuit detection) and displacement data (i.e. distance, position). This paper covers not only the explanation of the each category but also its advantage and limitation.

In this paper, the Thermal behavior and reliability characteristics of carbon CCL (Copper Claded Layer), which can be used as the core of HDI (High Density Interconnection) PCB (Printed Circuit Board) are evaluated through experiments and numerical analysis using CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) software. For the characterization of the carbon CCL, it is compared with the conventional FR-4 core and Heavy Cu core. From research results, the deformation amount of the flexure strength of PCB is the highest with pitch grade carbon and thermal behavior of PCB is lowest as temperature increases. In addition, TC (Thermal Cycling), LLTS (Liquid-to-Liquid Thermal Shock) and Humidity tests have been applied in the PCB with carbon core and the reliability of PCB with carbon core is confirmed through reliability tests. Also, possibility of uneven surface of the via hole and wear of the drill bit due to the carbon fibers are analyzed. surface of the via hole is uniform, the surface of the drill bit is smooth. Therefore, it is proved that the carbon CCL has the drilling workability of the same level as conventional core material.

The coefficient of permeability of natural clay shows a nonlinear property which is related to various stress level of soils, and this nonlinear property has effect on the period of consolidation and the property of deformation in clay soils under loading. Thus, in this paper the numerical analysis was conducted by FEM-using coupled theory which incorporated Biot's consolidation theory into modified Cam-clay model- to consider the effects of nonlinear permeability on the behavior of clay soils under loading. The result of this paper showed that nonlinear permeability had different effects on the deformation and excess pore water pressure in clay soils according to the change of ratios of coefficients of permeability which was presented a degree of nonlinear property, and average coefficients of permeability of soils. Therefore, it was concluded that nonlinear permeability should be considered according to both the change of ratios of coefficients of permeability and average coefficients of permeability to conduct more simultaneous analyses to field conditions.

The effects of hull flexibility on shaft alignment are growing as ship sizes are increased mainly for container carrier and LNG carrier. In order to consider hull flexibility on a propulsion shafting system, standardization of ship service conditions is necessary because hull deformation is continuously variable according to ship service conditions. How to summarize ship service conditions is suggested based on practically applicable four viewpoints : hull, engine, loading and sea status. Effects of the external forces acting on a ship propulsion shafting system are generally commented. Several design criteria regulated by classification societies are pointed at issue which seems to have Insufficient technical background. A qualitative verification is carried out to point out the invalidity of the assumption of effective supporting position. In this work, an elastic nonlinear multi-supporting bearing system is introduced as a key concept of the elastic shaft alignment. Hertz contact theory is proved to be more proper one than projected area method in calculation of the nonlinear elastic stiffness of the bearing, The squeezing and oil film pressure calculations in the long journal bearing like an after stern tube bearing are recognized as a necessary process for elastic shaft alignment design.

Special equipment used for snow removal is only used in the winter and must be moved into storage during non-winter seasons. However, when moving heavy equipment using a forklift within a limited space, safety accidents may occur due to deformation and damage due to the worker's limited visibility and excessive loading of heavy objects. In this study, the scissors boom of the developed heavy load transporter was conducted in two cases: link structural analysis and position-based structural analysis. In detail, the link structural analysis covers four cases of stress and safety factor according to material and thickness to optimize the specifications of the material selected during development, and the structural analysis according to position covers two cases before and after the lift, when maximum stress concentration is achieved. Safety was evaluated through finite element analysis. As a result of the study, when manufacturing a scissors boom type heavy load transporter that can withstand a load of 10 tons, the link showed safety at SS400 4.5mm or higher, and reinforcement is needed in the upper and lower structures, so it is judged to be useful in applying materials according to the load.

Tire flat spot is a deformation which occurs around the contact patch during long-period parking and does hardly recovered even after driving. The deformation makes a tire self-excited and ride comfort gets worse. In this study, it is shown that the flat spot can be evaluated by measuring change in radial run out or force. Its effects on vibration at vehicle floor and steering wheel are also revealed. Finally it is shown that the flat spot is likely to occur if the inflation pressure is low and the tire is suppressed by a heavy load at a high temperature.

The microstructures and indentation fracture of pressureless-sintered $DyNbO_4$ crystalline were investigated as a basic study for the application of weak phase of fibrous monolithic composites. They were comprised with many lamella twins as well as micro-cracks at the grain boundaries. The hardness at room temperature was remarkably low value(575 Hv) due to the low relative density and existence of microcracks at grain boundaries. The main fracture mode was a typical intergranular fracture, and showed remarkable micro-cracking effect. The heavy plastic deformation was observed around the site of indentation. In addition, the $DyNbO_4$ was expected to apply as a weak phase in the fibrous monolithic composites because of the low hardness and easily plastic deformation that could be led the preferable pulled-out and microcracking toughening under the failure.

The dense graded asphalt concrete materials have been used for construction of pavement for a long time. The performance of asphalt concrete pavement, however, is influenced by various factors including high temperature and heavy axle loads which cause plastic deformation. The plastic deformation is one of the main functional disadvantages of flexble pavement. In this study, the semi-rigid pavement is considered to solve the problem. A set of experimental evaluation on semi-rigid pavement material has been coducted in laboratory to obtain it's physical properties and serviceabilities. The results of tests, including compressive strength, flexural strength, ravelling and wheel tracking, show that the semi-rigid pavement has a good mechanical properties and serviceabilities. Consequently, the semi-rigid pavement may be suitable to bridge deck, tunnel, slow lane and parking area pavements.

Several methodologies analyzing welding distortions of large shell structures like ship blocks have been developed and utilized in shipyards for a long times ago. In general, one of objects of thermal distortion analysis is to find welding sequence making least-deformation without any suppliance, and it can be solved easily and rapidly by EP strain-boundary method. But after assembly construction, there are usually more than 10 weldments in each process, and the number of sequence will follow the Factorial calculation. In this research, a method has been suggested to decide the best welding sequence by minimum analysis. Using this method, welding deformation could be reduced just analyzing some cases as many as the number of weldments. Experiments and Analysis of all cases were also done, and their best results are good agreements with predictation by suggested methodology.

In heavy industrial fields such as power plant and chemical plant, it is often necessary to restore a damaged part of large machinery or structure which is installed in the hazard working place. In this paper, to evaluate the safety of plastic deformed cylindrical beam a finite element technique has been used. The variations of residual stresses on the process of damaging and restoring for surfaces and cross-sections have been examined. The results show that the maximum von Mises stresses occur outer cylinder surfaces of boundary between cylindrical beam support md cylindrical beam when deformation procedure and restoring force is applied. The maximum residual stress remains 158.6MPa in the inner wall and this value correspond to $53\%$ of yield stress then restoration procedure is finished.
