The flow field if a ship's propulsion mechanism of Weis-Fogh type is studied by the discrete vertex method. The wing in a channel is approximated by a finite number of bound vortices, and free vortices representing the separated flow are introduced from the trailing edge if the wing. The time histories of the thrust, the drag, and the moment acting on the wing are calculated, including the unsteady force due to the change of strength of the bound vortices. These calculated values agree well with the experimental values. The flow field of this propulsion mechanism is numerically clarified.

일반적으로 기계장치나 구조물 등은 여러 가지형태의 반복하중을 받게 되며, 이러한 하중의 크기가 항복강도 이하에 있어서도 반복 피로 현상에 의해서 파괴되는 경우가 있다. 유압 피로시험기는 기계장치나 구조물의 재료나 부품에 대한 피로시험을 통하여 피로강도나 신뢰성 등을 시험하기 위한 장비이고, 본 논문에서는 유압 피로 시험기를 제어하고 데이터를 취득할 수 있는 제어시스템의 개발에 대해 서술하였다.

In this paper, Gauss filter function is used to filter the N-S equation and the subgrid-scale Reynold stresses model is introduced to deduce the practical form of LES equation for 2-D case for flow calculation of hydraulic machine. Then the LES equation and its discrete form in computational field are obtained in the body-fitted coordinate system and the numerical calculation program is built. The incompressible turbulent flow in double-flow-conduits-sewage pump impeller is computed by using the abovementioned program, and then the distribution rules of velocity and pressure in flow field are obtained. Based on this, the designs of double-flow-conduits-sewage pump impeller are optimized.

The flowfield of Weis-Fogh type ship's Propulsion is visualized by numerical simulations using the discrete vortex method and by the hydrogen bubble technique. The simulations are performed by assuming that the separations occur at the trailing edge of the wing. The streak lines and time lines are calculated by introducing the tracers at adequate intervals. They agree well with experimental results. The flowfield is unsteady and complex, but the properties of the flow are clarified by numerical and experimental visualization.

The electro-reheoligical(ER) effect refers to the abrupt change in viscosity in certain suspensions on application of an electric field. This paper presents experimental results on material properties of an ER fluids subjected to electrical fatigues. As a first step, two types of EF fluids are made of arabic gum and methyl cellulose(MC) choosing 25% of parti-cle weight-concentration. Following the construction of test mechanism for electrical durability of ER fluid, the dynamic yield shear stress and current density of the ER fluids are experimentally distilled as a function of electric field. The yield shear stress of operated ER fluids are distilled and compared with those of unused ER fluids.

The present study aims at establishing the design procedure of regenerative pumps. It is based on the new momentum exchange theory proposed in Yoo, Park and Chung. Salient feature of the present design procedure is that it does not require input of any kinds of empirical design data. Using the design procedure, a prototype regenerative pump has been designed and manufactured to confirm its validity. Comparison between the predicted performance and the experimental measurement reveals that the prototype pump has its maximum efficiency at the design flow rate and that the proposed performance analysis method satisfactorily predicts the machine performance.

The dynamic properties of a ship's propulsion mechanism of Weis-Fogh type are studied by the discrete vortex method. The wing in the channel is approximated by a finite number of bound vortices and free vortices representing the separated flow are introduced from the trailing edge of the wing. The time histories of the thrust, the drag, and the moment acting on the wing are calculated, including the unsteady force due to the change of strength of the bound vortices. These calculated results show a similar tendency to the experimental ones qualitatively and the dynamic properties of this propulsion mechanism are numerically clarified.

In order to minimize straightness error of deflected shaft, a geometric adaptive straightness controller system is studied. A multi-step straightening and a three-point bending process have been developed for the geometric adaptive straightness controller. Load-deflection relationship, on-line identification of variations of material properties, on-line springback prediction, and real-time hydraulic control methodology are studied for the three-point bending process. By deflection pattern analysis and fuzzy self-learning method in the multi-step straightening process, a straightening point and direction, desired permanent deflection and supporting condition are determined. An automatic straightening machine has been fabricated for rack bars by using the developed ideas. Validity of the proposed system is verified through experiments.

Materials of the Frame hole in fishing trackle reel is made up a number large and small holes. Thus, it is difficult to effective machining. Abrasive flow machining(AFM) is useful to polish a internal or external surface of the 3-dimensional shape parts, which are used in many fields such as aerospace, automative, semi-conductor, and medical component industries. The machining process is that two hydraulic cylinders, which are located face to face, enforce abrasive media to the passage between workpiece and tooling parts alternately, and then the abrasives include in the media pass the passage and polish the surface of workpiece. The media which is made of polymer and abrasives plays the role of the tool for deburring or polishing complex shap workpiece by its viscoelastic characteristics. In this study, the abrasive media for abrasive flow machining was made by mixing viscielastic polymer with alunina and silicon carbide abrasive. Also, we present AFM device design and preliminary results of an investigation in to some aspects of the AFM process performance in fishing trackle reel.

In designing AMBs (active magnetic bearings) for high-speed spindle system, the shaft is usually assumed as a rigid rotor. For automatic tool change process, there should be a tool clamping system with drawbar using spring or hydraulic force, and the drawbar in the spindle can be in various condition of support during design and manufacturing error. In this paper, the modal characteristics of drawbar in high-speed milling spindle system due to supporting stiffness between drawbar and shaft are analyzed by numerical method. The result shows enough stiff supports must be provided between shaft and drawbar to prevent occurring drawbar vibration lower than the natural frequency of 1$\^$st/ bending mode of spindle.
