This paper deals with a case study of workload analysis of an operator in an automatic line for machining the race of ball bearing. Eleven machines and three hoppers are installed in the line which is operated by an operator. The elements of operation are separated into machine controlled elements, operator controlled elements and machine/operator controlled elements. In order to analyze the system, time and motion studies are used for gathering input data for the simulation model. The first objective of this study is to evaluate whether the workload of operator is reasonable or not. The second objective is to increase throughput by reducing tact time and the last one is to increase frequencies of inspection by reducing interval. Thus we suggest some ideas for improvement, and as a result, the throughput is improved about 9%. In spite of the increasing of throughput, the allowance of operator is also increased about 4%.

Finite element simulation is a widely applied method for practical purpose in various metal forming process. However, in the simulation of elasto-plastic behavior of porous material or in crystal plasticity coupled multi-scale simulation, it requires much calculation time, which is a limitation in its application in practical situations. A machine learning model that directly outputs the constitutive equation without iterative calculations would greatly reduce the calculation time of the simulation. In this study, we examined the possibility of artificial intelligence based constitutive equation with the input of existing state variables and current velocity filed. To introduce the methodology, we described the process of obtaining the training data, machine learning process and the coupling of machine learning model with commercial software DEFROM^TM, as a preliminary study, via rigid plastic finite element simulation.

This study investigates Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) performance prediction by employing discrete event simulation technique, which is a potential remedy highlighting its stochastic adaptability to the complex nature of TBM tunnelling activities. The new discrete event simulation model using AnyLogic software was developed and validated by comparing its results with actual performance data for Daegok-Sosa railway project that Earth Pressure Balance (EPB) TBM machine was used in Korea. The results showed the successful implementation of predicting TBM performance. However, it necessitates high-quality database establishment including geological formations, machine specifications, and operation settings. Additionally, this paper introduces a novel methodology for daily performance updates during construction, using automated data processing techniques. This approach enables daily updates and predictions for the ongoing projects, offering valuable insights for construction management. Overall, this study underlines the potential of discrete event simulation in predicting TBM performance, its applicability to other tunneling projects, and the importance of continual database expansion for future model enhancements.

Discrete Event Simulation은 기존에 생산 분야에서 적용되어지는 이론중의 하나로 생산에서 발생되는 작업을 Event 기반으로 분류하고 각각의 경우를 기초로 Simulation하여 평가하는 기법이다. 철도차량의 중정비는 핵심부품의 정비를 단계별로 세분화하여 이루어지는데 틸팅차량을 포함하는 신형 철도차량의 경우 주요 정비부품이 많은 제어장치와 전자장치로 구성되어 있다 대차의 경우 많은 주요부품이 중복되어 이것을 체계적이며 효율적으로 유지 보수하는 것이 절실한 것이다. 이러한 부품의 상태를 점검하고 평가하는 것은 유지보수에 관련된 인력이 아닌 이와 관련된 분석기계일 것이고 틸팅차량의 경우 다량의 주요 부품에 대한 유지보수기계의 성능의 평가가 요구될 것이다. 본 논문은 이러한 필요성에 기초하여 작성되었다. 우선 Discrete Event Simulation의 개념을 간략히 소개하였고 Discrete Event Simulation의 5단계 알고리즘을 철도차량 유지보수기계 기반으로 수정하였다 그리고 유지보수 요구 조건에 기초하여 Simulation 알고리즘을 적용하였다. 본 논문은 Discrete Event Simulation의 이론을 이전에 적용된 사례가 없는 철도차량유지보수 분야에 소개하여 유지보수 효율의 극대화를 위한 기법을 적용하였으며 향후 철도차량 유지보수관련 기계의 성능 평가 및 적용에 있어 도움이 될 수 있는 참고 자료로 활용 가능할 것이다.

The hydraulic system have been used much in a heavy machine which high power source is desired. In the case of the heavy press machine and the injection molding machine, the use of the hydraulic power is essential especially for increasing productivity and getting the good products. Because the hydraulic circuit is very complex and the system parameters are uncertain, the development of the simulation model for hydraulic system is not easy in the heavy machine. In this case, Many researchers have used a commercial program for analysis and development in a major field of study. In this paper, the aim is to develop the simulation model of the hydraulic system with various commercial program for trajectory tracking. And adaptive control method is applied to the simulation model for the trajectory tracking of a cylinder motion. Load on the cylinder is modeled in ADAMS program, the hydraulic circuit including pump, spool valve and cylinder is modeled in AMESim program and a controller is designed in MatLab/simulink program. The suggested model is applied for the tracking of a cylinder motion, and through computer simulation, its trajectory tracking performance is illustrated.

A nano-imprinting stage has been widely used in various fields of nanotechnology. In this study, an analysis method of a nano-imprinting stage machine using FEM and flexible multi-body kinematics and dynamics has been presented. We have developed a virtual imprinting machine to evaluate the prototype design in the early design stage. The simulation using CAE for the imprinting machine is not only to analyze static and dynamic characteristics of the machine but also to determine design parameters of the components for the imprinting machine, such as dimensions and specifications of actuators and sensors. Structural components as the upper plate, the rotator, the shaft and the translator have been modeled with finite elements to analyze flexibility effects during the precision stage motion. In this paper flexible multi-body dynamic simulation is executed to support robust design of the precision stage mechanism. In addition, we made the 4-axis stage model to compare the dynamic behavior with that of 3-axis stage model.

This study analyzes the characteristics of two different kinds of squat exercise through physical experiments and a computer simulation, i.e. one with a free weight and the other with a Smith machine are studied. This study also proposes a new design for the Smith machine, which has both the advantages of each type based on the results of the analysis. The muscle force and level of stimulation of the lower extremities during squatting were calculated by running an inverse dynamics analysis program on a musculoskeletal model together with the measured motion data. The calculated results were verified by comparing with the measured EMG data. The analysis showed that squatting using free weight is more effective than squatting using the Smith machine. Meanwhile, in order to design an improved Smith machine, which is the final goal of this study, the trajectory of the barbell of the subjects during free weight squatting was measured on the sagittal plane. The measurement showed that the average slope of the trajectory of the barbell is tilted backward by $10.7^{\circ}$. Based on this measurement, this study proposes a tilted design for an improved Smith machine.

Traditional job shop scheduling is supposed that machine has a fixed processing job type. But actually the machine has a highly utilization or long processing time is occurred delay. Therefore product system is difficult to respond quickly to the change of products or loads or machine failure etc. Here we use flexible job shop which is supposed that a machine has several jobs by tool change. The heuristic for the flexible job shop scheduling has to solve two problems. One is a routing problem which is determine a machine to process job. The other is sequencing problem which is determine processing sequence. The approach to solve two problems arc a hierarchical approach which is determined routing and then schedule, and a concurrence approach which is solved concurrently two problems by considering routing when it is scheduled. In this study, we simulate for flexibility efficiency fo flexible job shop scheduling with machine failure using hierarchical approach.

A hybrid kernel function of support vector machine is proposed to improve the classification performance of power quality disturbances. The kernel function mathematical model of support vector machine directly affects the classification performance. Different types of kernel functions have different generalization ability and learning ability. The single kernel function cannot have better ability both in learning and generalization. To overcome this problem, we propose a hybrid kernel function that is composed of two single kernel functions to improve both the ability in generation and learning. In simulations, we respectively used the single and multiple power quality disturbances to test classification performance of support vector machine algorithm with the proposed hybrid kernel function. Compared with other support vector machine algorithms, the improved support vector machine algorithm has better performance for the classification of power quality signals with single and multiple disturbances.
