Flows in a regenerative pump were calculated for several flow-rates, using the CFX-Tascflow. The calculated results show the vortex structure in the impeller and side channel. The predicted performance shows considerable discrepancy form the measured values for low flow rates. Main source of the difference is the leakage flow of pump strongly affecting the performance of pump. A simple correlation was proposed using calculated leakage flows through the parametric calculations of the simplified passage.

Electro-magnetic clutch which is affected by elements of electric, magnetic and mechanical friction is important that it has a characteristic changes by environmental impact. Expecially, it is equipped in railroad sideway which is bleak external environment. Therefore, this paper investigated affections by temperature changes, which can make out through physical characteristics such as friction torque, minimum slipping torque, rated slipping torque of electro-magnetic dutch.

This paper presents a robust nonlinear controller for a f degree of freedom (DOF) parallel manipulator in the task space coordinates. The proposed control strategy requires information on orientations and translations in the task space unlike the joint space or link space control scheme. Although a 6 DOF sensor may provide such information in a straightforward manner, its cost calls for a more economical alternative. A novel indirect method based on the readily available length information engages as a potential candidate to replace a 6 DOF sensor. The indirect approach generates the necessary information by solving the forward kinematics and subsequently applying alpha-beta-gamma tracker With the 6 DOF signals available, a robust nonlinear task space control (RNTC) scheme is proposed based on the Lyapunov redesign method, whose stability is rigorously proved. The performance of the proposed RNTC with the new estimation scheme is evaluated via experiments. First, the results of the estimator are compared with the rate-gyro signals, which indicates excellent agreement. Then, the RNTC with on-line estimated 6 DOF data is shown to achieve excellent control performance to sinusoidal inputs, which is superior to those of a commonly used proportional-plus-integral-plus-derivative controller with a feedforward friction compensation under joint space coordinates and the nonlinear controller under task space coordinates.

Water electrolysis is known as the most sustainable and clean technology to produce hydrogen gas, however, a serious drawback to commercialize this technology is due to the slow kinetics in oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Thus, we report on the nanoporous IrNi thin film that reveals a markedly enhanced OER activity, which is attained through a selective etching of Os from the IrNiOs alloy thin film. Interestingly, electrochemical selective etching of Os leads to the formation of 3-dimensionally interconnected nanoporous structure providing a high electrochemical surface area (ECSA, 80.8 ㎠), which is 90 fold higher than a bulk Ir surface (0.9 ㎠). The overpotential at the nanoporous IrNi electrode is markedly lowered to be 289 mV at 10 mA cm^-2, compared with bulk Ir (375 mV at 10 mA cm^-2). The nanoporous IrNi prepared through the selective de-alloying of Os is promising as the anode material for a water electrolyzer.

In the dentistry field, an ultrasonic surgery unit is widely used in bone cutting and scaling to reduce operation time and minimize hemorrhage. The purpose of this study was to evaluate bone cutting and the effect of a specimen's temperature on the two-type ultrasonic surgery unit using a handpiece moving system(HMS). A HMS, which can cut the bone, was developed to perform the experimental procedure with precision of motion control. Bone specimens were prepared from a combination of epoxy-hardener and cortical bone of bovine leg. Through the bone-cutting experiment, the cutting depth was evaluated by not only scanning electron microscopy, but also Vernier calipers. Also, the temperature distribution was measured by a thermo-graphic camera. This study may be applied methodically in various experimental evaluations on a performance test by a HMS.

Three dimensional shaded images are standard visualization method for CAD models on the computer screen. Therefore, much of the effort in the visualization of CAD models has been focused on how conveniently and realistically CAD models can be displayed on the screen. However, shaded 3D CAD data images captured from the screen may not be suitable for some application areas. Technical document, either in the paper or electronic form, can more clearly describe the shape and annotate parts of the model by using projected 2D line drawing format viewed from a user defined view direction. This paper describes an efficient method for generating such a 2D line drawing data in the vector format. The algorithm is composed of silhouette line detection, hidden line removal and cleaning processes.

The DCPD(Direct Current Potential Drop) method has been adopted for the crack measurement of a structure. The objective of this paper is to develop a multi-channel DCPD system not only for detecting crack depth, but also for determining the accurate shape of the surface crack. For this purpose, an exclusive software was also developed. In order to verify the developed DCPD system it was initially tested on a CT specimen, and subsequently was applied to a wide plate specimen. The developed multi-channel DCPD system was proven to provide an efficient and accurate measurement of a surface crack during the crack growth.

The relaxation of stress concentration in notched members can be very significant in the improvement of notched strength and fatigue life. This paper investigated the relationship of stress concentration factor, and notched strength and fatigue life. The stress concentration factors were analyzed by FEM. Uniaxial tensile and fatigue tests were carried on plain woven composite specimens which have a main hole and two defence holes. From experimental results, the notched strength and the fatigue limit increased up to about 50% and 30% respectively due to the reduction in stress concentration. The fatigue lives predicted by Juvinall's approach were underestimated than test results and this trends were remarkable as nothed strength increased. This is because of the underestimation of a coefficient. A in S-N curve (.sigma.$_{ar}$ =A $N_{f}$ $^{B}$). Therefore, considering notched strength the coefficient A was modified. The fatigue lives by this process were agreed well with the experimental results.sults.

Friction occurs when surfaces that are in contact move relatively between solid surfaces, fluid layers, and materials slide against one another. This friction force causes wear on the contact surface, generates unwanted heat and leads to performance degradation. Thus, much research has been performed to avoid friction reduction. Among these studies, a textured surface that has micro patterns on the surface has drawn attention for its ability to reduce friction. A mathematical model is developed in this study to examine friction reduction due to the texture of a surface. Numerical simulations are carried out with respect to various factors such as the shape aspect ratio and texture depth of a diamond-shaped texture in the hydrodynamic lubrication regime. As a result, a shape aspect ratio of 1 is best for friction reduction.
