High pressure components of a gas turbine engine are generally made of nickel-base superalloys, using precision casting process due to complicated geometries with intricate channels and cooling holes. Turbine components manufactured from directionally solidified and single crystal materials have columnar grains; however, it is found that the crystals do not grow in its preferred direction, although the orientation can be controlled. This anisotropy can lead to the variations of elastic and Hill's parameters in constitutive equations, and they alter stress distributions and the low cycle fatigue life. We aims to evaluate the effects of perturbed crystal orientations on the structural integrity of a directionally solidified nozzle using low cycle fatigue life. We also attempt to show the necessity for the control of allowed manufacturing errors and stochastic analysis. Our approaches included conjugate heat transfer and structural analysis, along with low cycle fatigue life assessment.

Kefir is traditional fermented milk produced by various lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeast, which produce lactic acid, ethanol, carbon dioxide, and other flavor compounds. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of different commercial oligosaccharides, such as maltotriose, fructooligosaccharide (FOS), galactooligosaccharide (GOS), and isomaltooligosaccharide (IMO), on the fermentation properties of kefir. First, we determined the acidification kinetic parameters, such as $V_{max}$, $t_{max}$(h), $t_{pH5.0}$(h), and $t_f$(h) of fermented milk supplemented with 4% (w/w) of different oligosaccharides. The probiotic survival and chemical composition (pH, organic acids profile, and ethanol content) of kefir during fermentation were also measured. Compared to control fermentation, all oligosaccharides increased acidification rate and reduced the time to complete fermentation (pH 4.7). The addition of FOS, in particular, resulted in the lowest $t_f$(h) and the highest populations of LAB and yeast during fermentation. All oligosaccharides increased ethanol production during fermentation. Further, significant differences were observed in the formation rates of six organic acids during fermentation. This study provided comparative data on the properties of commercial oligosaccharides for kefir manufacturing. Consequently, FOS especially had the potential for adequate and effective oligosaccharides in commercial kefir for the improvement of cost- and time-effectiveness.

In manufacturing automotive parts, such as engine cradles, frame rails, subframes, cross-members, and other parts from circular tubes, pre-bending and pre-forming operations are often required prior to the subsequent tubular hydroforming process. During some pre-forming operations, the cross section of a bent circular tube is crushed into an oval-like shape to ensure proper geometry and sufficient clearance in the hydroforming dies. For such applications, the use of oval Instead of circular tubes could be an effective means of eliminating the pre-forming step. The oval tube could also be produced with less thinning and with less strain on the outside of the bend when controlled by a booster system without the use of mandrel. Hence, the understanding of the issues that occur in the bending of oval tubes is worthy of Investigation. This paper presents parametric studies on the bending of oval tubes without a mandrel. The finite element modeling technique is used to examine the deformation characteristics for both circular and oval tubes. In the simulations, the bending process parameters of bend radius, aspect ratio of the tube ovalness, and tube wall thickness are varied. Observations are made to obtain a hoop-buckle limit diagram in terms of a non-dimensional shape degradation factor. Suggestions based upon developed criteria are made on the acceptability of bend tubes suitable for hydroforming applications without the need ofa pre-forming step or the used of a mandrel.

This paper shows the feasibility of using carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite materials for manufacturing automotive coil springs. For achieving weight reduction by replacing steel with composite materials, it is essential to optimize the material parameters and design variables of the coil spring. First, the shear modulus of a CFRP beam model, which has $45^{\circ}$ ply angles for maximum torsional stiffness, was calculated and compared with the test results. The diameter of the composite spring was predicted to be 17.5 mm for ensuring a spring rate equal to that when using steel material. Finally, a finite element model of the composite coil spring with $45^{\circ}$ ply angles and 17.5 mm wire diameter was constructed and analyzed for obtaining the static spring rate, which was then compared with experimental results.

제품을 설계하는 디자이너나 엔지니어는 많은 시간과 노력을 들이지 않고서 그들이 설계한 3차원 제품 모델에 대한 사실적인 이미지를 원한다. 디자인 프로세스의 초기인 개념 설계에서부터 설계검증, 그리고 가공 과정에서 사실적인 이미지가 매우 유용하므로, 대부분의 주요 CAD 제작사는 그들의 CAD 소프트웨어에 고급 렌더링 기능을 추가하고 있다. 상용의 CAD/CAM 모델러에서는 NURB 곡면을 기초로 모델링을 수행하므로, NURB 곡면을 렌더링할 수 있는 패키지가 필요하다. VIF(Visual InterFace) 렌더링 라이브러리는 A-buffer 방식과 Ray tracing 방식의 두 가지 고급 렌더링 모드를 제공한다. 다각형은 물론 NURB 곡면을 입력으로 받아 사용자가 설정한 표면의 각종 계수, 원하는 view와 설정된 광원에 따라 이미지를 만들고 다양한 형태로 출력시킬 수 있는 다양한 기능을 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 VIF 렌더링 라이브러리에 대한 구조와 기능별로 분류된 함수에 대하여 설명하며, 실제로 CAD/CAM 시스템과 통합되어 구상설계에서부터 3차원 설계 모델링에 이르기까지의 제조공정에서 설계검증 툴로써 어떻게 활용되고 있는가에 대하여 기술한다.Abstract Engineers and industrial designers want to produce a realistic-looking images of a 3D model without spending a lot of time and money. Photo-realistic images are so useful from the conceptual design, through its verification, to the machining, that most major CAD venders offer built-in as well as add-on photo-realistic rendering capability to their core CAD software. Since 3D model is consists of a set of NURB surfaces in commercial CAD packages, we need a renderer which handles NURB surface as well as other primitives.A new rendering library called VIF (Visual InterFace) provides two photo-realistic rendering modes: A-buffer and Ray tracing. As an input data it takes NURB surfaces as well as polygonal data and produces images in accordance with the surface parameters, view and lights set by user and outputs image with different formats. This paper describes the overall architecture of VIF and its library functions classified by their functionalities, and discusses how VIF is used as a graphical verification tool in manufacturing processes from the conceptual design to 3D modeling.

The electrical conductivity of glass melter at high temperature has been measured. The conductivity is an important physical property for the research and the manufacturing process of glass. Because high temperature is an inconvenient situation to measure the conductivity of glass melter, we have made a platinum crucible and electrode and have measured the conductivity at high temperature. KCl solution, of which concentration is adjusted to the conductivity of glass melter, is used to get parameters of the conductivity cell. A measuring circuit is composed with an AC 1 kHz sine wave generator and an operational amplifier. The cell constants are determined from the measured voltages and the equivalent conductances of KCl solution. Various cells are tested to find a suitable shape for high temperature experiment. The results are compared by cell size, electrode depth, and cell configuration. The conductivity of the borosilicate melter is $0.053{\Omega}^{-1}cm^{-1}$ at $1,450^{\circ}C$.

The safety and efficiency of nuclear reactors largely depend on the monitoring and control of nuclear radiation. Due to the unique nuclear-physical characteristics, Hf is one of the most promising materials for the manufacturing of the control rods and the emitters of neutron detectors. It is proposed to use the Compton neutron detector with the emitter made of Hf in the In-core Instrumentation System (ICIS) for monitoring the neutron field. The main advantages of such a detector in comparison the conventional β-emission sensors are the possibility of reaching of a higher cumulative radiation dose and the absence of signal delays. The response time of the detection is extremely important when a nuclear reactor is operating near its critical operational parameters. Taking Hf as an example, the general principles for calculating the chains of materials transformation under neutron irradiation are reported. The influence of ^179m1Hf on the Hf composition changing dynamics and the process of transmutants' (Ta, W) generation were determined. The effect of these processes on the absorbing properties of Hf, which inevitably predetermine the lifetime of the detector and its ability to generate a signal, is estimated.

Flexible composite propellers are subject to large deformation under heavy loading, and hence the hydrodynamic performance of deformed propeller might deviate from that of the metallic propeller under negligible deformation. To design the flexible propeller, it is therefore necessary to be able to evaluate the structural response of the blades to the hydrodynamic loadings, and then the influence of the blade deformation upon the hydrodynamic loadings. We use the lifting-surface-theory-based propeller analysis and design codes in solving the hydrodynamic problem, and the finite-element-method program formulated with 20-node iso-parametric solid elements for the analysis of the structural response. The two different hydrodynamic and structural programs are arranged to communicate through the carefully-designed interface scheme which leads to the derivation of the geometric parameters such as the pitch, the rake and the skew distributions common to both programs. The design of flexible propellers, suitable for manufacturing, is shown to perform the required thrust performance when deformed in operation. Sample design shows the fast iteration scheme and the robustness of the design procedure of the flexible propellers.
