This paper is concerned with the Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine as a new concept in engines and a power source for future automotive applications. Essentially a combination of spark ignition and compression ignition engines, the HCCI engine exhibits low NOx and Particulate Matter (PM) emissions as well as high efficiency under part load. The objective of this research is to determine the effects of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) rate on the combustion processes of HCCI. For this purpose, a 4-cylinder, compression ignition engine was converted into a HCCI engine, and a heating device was installed to raise the temperature of the intake air and also to make it more consistent. In addition, a pressure sensor was inserted into each of the cylinders to investigate the differences in characteristics among the cylinders.

Windows are still the thermally weakest part in considering energy efficiency. The vacuum glazing is considered as a new alternative in terms of energy efficiency. Vacuum glazing are consisting of two separated glass, pillars are support the under and upper glass. Therefore in this paper suggested the pillar shapes and array arrangements method using Finite Element Method and validity were proved by comparing and analyzing with the research that it is announced through the existing experiment. It is considered to solve pillar shapes and arrangement method problem of the vacuum glazing using proposed FEM analysis.

This paper discusses a new model for investigating the micro-mechanical behavior of beam-like structures composed of various elastic moduli and complex geometries varying through the cross-sectional directions and also periodically-repeated along the axial directions. The original three-dimensional problem is first formulated in an unified and compact intrinsic form using the concept of decomposition of the rotation tensor. Taking advantage of two smallness of the cross-sectional dimension-to-length parameter and the micro-to-macro heterogeneity and performing homogenization along dimensional reduction simultaneously, the variational asymptotic method is used to rigorously construct an effective zeroth-order beam model, which is similar a generalized Timoshenko one (the first-order shear deformation model) capable of capturing the transverse shear deformations, but still carries out the zeroth-order approximation which can maximize simplicity and promote efficiency. Two examples available in literature are used to demonstrate the consistence and efficiency of this new model, especially for the structures, in which the effects of transverse shear deformations are significant.

In order to realize the ultra lean burn, the method of hydrogen supplement in gasoline engine has been examined and analyzed. A small quantity of hydrogen gas was supplied and mixed with gasoline fuel in the intake manifold. As the results, lean limit was extended to fuel-air equivalence ratio 0.35 which normal combustion was impossible by gasoline fuel. The NO and CO were remarkably decreased, and thermal efficiency and torque were increased. It was also found that by considering cycle variation, emission characteristics, torque and thermal efficiency, suitable operate region of hydrogen supplemented gasoline engine was equivalence ratio 0.5.

In this study, a new harmonic axisymmetric thick shell element for static and dynamic analyses is proposed. The newly proposed element considering shear strain is based on a modified Hellinger-Reissner variational principle, and introduces additional nodeless degrees for displacement field interpolation in order to enhance numerical performance. The stress parameters selected via the field-consistency concept. are very important in formulating a trouble-free hybrid-mixed elements. For computational efficiency, the stress parameters are eliminated by the stationary condition and then the nodeless degrees are condensed out by the dynamic reduction. Several numerical examples confirm that the present element shows improved efficiency and yields very accurate results for static and vibration analyses.

A new formulation for the dynamic analysis of constrained multibody systems is presented in this paper. The formulation employs Kane's method along with the null space method. Kane's method reduces the dimension of equations of motion by using partial velocity matrix introduced in this study : it can improve the efficiency of the formulation. Three numerical examples are given to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the formulation.

Alternative computational scheme is presented fur reliability based optimal design using a modified advanced first order second moment (AFOSH) method. Both design variables and design parameters are considered as random variables about their nominal values. Each probability constraint is transformed into a sub -optimization problem and then is resolved with the modified Hasofer- Lind-Rackwitz-Fiessler (HL-RF) method for computational efficiency and convergence. A method of design sensitivity analysis for probability constraint is presented and tested through simple examples. The suggested method is examined by solving several examples and the results are compared with those of other methods.

Design optimization of a transonic compressor rotor(NASA rotor 37) was carried out using response surface method(RSM) which is one of the optimization methods. A numerical simulation was conducted using ANSYS CFX by solving three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes(RANS) equations. Response surfaces that were based on the results of the design of experiment(DOE) techniques were used to find an optimal shape of blade which has the maximum aerodynamic performance. Two objective functions, viz., the adiabatic efficiency and the loss coefficient were selected with three design configurations to optimize the blade shape. As a result, the efficiency of the optimized blade is found to be increased.

Quick aging of catalysts has done with IAE(Institute for advanced engineering) AGING MODE suggested by IAE. To estimate the effects of number of aging cycle, temperature and $H_2O$, characteristics of surfaces, mechanical properties and weibull modulus were estimated. Also, the conversion efficiency of aged catalysts was evaluated with model gas bench test. The area of surface and pore volume were decreased according to the number of aging cycle. The precious metal which is well dispersed in fresh state was sintered and agglomerated with aging. The mechanical of deactivation and sintering of catalysts are discussed on the basis of mechanical tests. The conversion efficiency was decreased with the repeats of aging. Especially, the existence of $H_2O$ in supply gas had a main role in catalyst deactivation withy high temperature.

In this study, the prediction on the quality of tools after coating process has been investigated. Under different coating conditions, cutting resistances have been obtained and analyzed with a tool dynamometer to provide optimized coating conditions. The optimized coating conditions Lhave been computed with the most effective factors found by S/N ratio of Taguchi method. To evaluate the influence of the factors on cutting efficiency through the minimum of number of experiment times, the way of neural network design using Taguchi method has been employed.
