Vibration and noise of gears is doc to the transmission error and the vibration exciting force caused by the periodically alternating tooth stiffness. Transmission error is the rotation delay between driving and driven gear caused by manufacturing error, alignment error in assembly and so on. Tooth stiffness changes with the proceeding mesh of teeth. The purpose of this study is to develop how to calculate simultaneously the optimum amounts of tooth profile modification. end relief and crowning by minimizing the vibration exciting force of helical gears. We estimate the vibration exciting force by the meshing analysis of gears. Formulated constraints of this problem consist of contact ratio and strengths of gear teeth such as tooth bending strength, surface durability, and scoring. ADS(Automated Design Synthesis) is used as an optimization tool. We also investigate the relation between the aspect ratio and the optimum values of tooth modification. The proposed method can calculate the optimum amount of tooth modification automatically and is expected to be practically useful to resolve the problem of vibration of helical gears.

The objective of this study is to investigate the suitable design for a domestic Circulating water pump(CWP), which is used in cooling-water intakes for the unit 3 and 4 of Yeonggwang nuclear power plant. All the simulations are performed, using CFD method with a commercial code STAR-CCM+ version 3.02. After modeling a present design of the pump, the flow around the rotating blade was calculated by using quasi-static method and sliding mesh method with the almost same condition as an actual state. Based on fundamental simulations with various depth of sea water, the reference pressure for the boundary condition of the present study was decided. To verify the reliability of the calculation results, the suction flow rate of the data was compared with that of the experimental data. As a result of this comparison, it is confirmed that two results are fairly consistent. For the improvement of the suction flow rate, computational analysis was done by changing a flow channel and blade shapes. It is shown that the suction flow rate of the new pump was improved.

The active vibration control of composite shell structure has been performed with the optimized sensor/actuator system. For the design of sensor/actuator system, a method based on finite element technique is developed. The nine-node Mindlin shell element has been used for modeling the integrated system of laminated composite shell with PVDF sensor/actuator. The distributed selective modal sensor/actuator system is established to prevent the effect of spillover. Electrode patterns and lamination angles of sensor/actuator are optimized using genetic algorithm. Continuous electrode patterns are discretized according to finite element mesh, and orientation angle is encoded into discrete values using binary string. Sensor is designed to minimize the observation spillover, and actuator is designed to minimize the system energy of the control modes under a given initial condition. Modal sensor/actuator for the first and the second mode vibration control of singly curved cantilevered composite shell structure are designed with the method developed on the finite element method and optimization. For verification, the experimental test of the active vibration control is performed for the composite shell structure. Discrete LQG method is used as a control law.

In general, spot welding is used at no welding rod or flux for the process, low welding point temperature compared to arc welding, short heating time, less damage to the parent material, and low deformation and residual stress, relatively. Also, because of the pressurization effect, better mechanical qualities of the welding parts are obtained. Therefore, in various fields of industry its rapid operation speed can make mass production possible such as motor industry. In FEM analysis for the spot welding process, it is effective to use simple modeling rather than complicated one because of its numerous number of spots and reduction of analysis time. Therefore, this study provides with not only simplification of modeling analysis by using beam component composition of structure without re-compositing the spot welding point mesh but also modeling analysis of which property of fracture strength is reflected. In addition complete spot welding model is examined at rectangular post shape (hat shape) by impact test, compared the results, and verified its validity. As a result, it is possible to optimize the welding position and to recognize the strength of structure and the proposed equal distance model shows the effect of welding point reduction and improvement of stiffness.

Standard crystalline solar cells are generally fabricated with the front grid pattern of silver paste contact. We have reported a detailed theoretical analysis of the proposed segmented cross grid line pattern in this paper. This work was carried out for the optimization of spacing and width of grid finger, main busbar and sub-busbar. The overall electrical and optical losses due to front contact were brought down to $10\%$ or even less as compared to the usual loss of $15\%$ or more in the conventional screen printed silver paste technology by choosing proper grid pattern and optimizing the grid parameters. The total normalized power loss for segmented mesh grid with plated metal contact was also observed and the total power loss could be brought down to $10.04\%$ unlike $11.57\%$ in the case of continuous grid and plated contact. This paper is able to outline the limitations of conventional screen printed contact.

Anti-shock performance is one of the most important design specifications of TFT-LCD modules. Since they are adopted fur major display units of many mobile applications such as lap-top PCs, cellular phones, and palm pilots, they are able to accommodate and endure high level transient mechanical energy inputs. For the reasons, not only the LCD unit manufacturers but their customers like PC makers perform a series of strict impact/drop test on the units. Currently, designers are mostly relying on their own trial-error based experience for the anti-shock design. Thus those designs depending on only experience may result in disqualification from the drop/impact test during final product evaluation. Those shock failures of any new designs are prohibitive for both LCD and PC manufacturers. In order to avoid this problem, many designers are focusing on the development of computer-aided design tools that is directly connected to shock simulation capabilities and then shock-proof design cycle time could be significantly reduced. Development of an integrated CAE system for the shock-proof design is presented in this article. At every stages of the development of present work, practical industrial applicability and mass production feasibility are seriously considered and tested so that the system is to be used in the LCD design engineering field.

Wireless tactical network (WTN) is the most important present-day technology enabling modern network centric warfare. It inherits many features from WMNs, since the WTN is based on existing wireless mesh networks (WMNs). However, it also has distinctive characteristics, such as hierarchical structures and tight QoS (Quality-of-Service) requirements. Little research has been conducted on hierarchical protocols to support various QoS in WMN. We require new protocols specifically optimized for WTNs. Control packets are generally required to find paths and reserve resources for QoS requirements, so data throughput is not degraded due to overhead. The fundamental solution is to adopt topology aggregation, in which a low tier node aggregates and simplifies the topology information and delivers it to a high tier node. The overhead from control packet exchange can be reduced greatly due to decreased information size. Although topology aggregation is effective for low overhead, it also causes the inaccuracy of topology information; thus, incurring low QoS support capability. Therefore, we need a new topology aggregation algorithm to achieve high accuracy. In this paper, we propose a new aggregation algorithm based on star topology. Noting the hierarchical characteristics in military and hierarchical networks, star topology aggregation can be used effectively. Our algorithm uses a limited number of bypasses to increase the exactness of the star topology aggregation. It adjusts topology parameters whenever it adds a bypass. Consequently, the result is highly accurate and has low computational complexity.

This paper aims to better understand the bonding behavior in Reinforced Concrete beams strengthened with an Ultra-High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (RCUHPFRC) layer on the compression side using experimental tests and numerical analyses. The UHPFRC mix design was obtained through an optimization procedure, and the characterization of the materials included compression and slant shear tests. Flexural tests were carried out in RC beams and RC-UHPFRC beams. The tests demonstrated a debonding of the UHPFRC layer. In addition, 3D finite element analyses were carried out in the Abaqus CAE program, in which the interface is modeled considering a zero-thickness cohesive-contact approach. The cohesive parameters are investigated, aiming to calibrate the numerical models, and a sensitivity analysis is performed to check the reliability of the assumed cohesive parameters and the mesh size. Finally, the experimental and numerical values are compared, showing a good approximation for both the RC beams and the RC strengthened beams.

본 논문에서는 공기 메쉬(Air meshes)를 이용하여 고체의 충돌을 효율적으로 처리할 수 있는 새로운 방법을 제시한다. 기존의 프리미티브 단위의 충돌 처리는 시뮬레이션의 안정성을 높이기 위해 시간 간격(Time-step), 3차 방정식과 같은 큰 계산 과정을 필요로 했으며, 장면 복잡도에 따라 DCD(Discrete collision detection)뿐만 아니라 CCD(Continuous collision detection)까지 고려해야 되는 상황이 빈번히 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 이전에 제안된 공기 메쉬 기법을 통해 충돌처리를 효율적으로 개선시킬 수 있는 방법에 대해서 제안한다. 원본 공기 메쉬 접근법은 시뮬레이션 메쉬가 아닌, 주변 공기를 메쉬화시키고 이들의 변형을 부피로 근사하여 충돌 여부 및 처리를 인지하고 예측했다. 공기 메쉬를 정제하는 과정에서 수치적인 수렴을 위해 정삼각형을 유지하려는 제약사항을 두었다. 하지만, 이러한 방법은 장면에 따라 노이즈한 결과를 나타내며, 헤어나 털 시뮬레이션과 같은 라인 형태인 시뮬레이션에서는 경계 문제가 더욱더 민감하게 나타났다. 본 논문에서는 공기 메쉬를 정제하는 과정에서 새로운 제약 조건을 추가하여 노이즈가 완화된 충돌처리 결과를 보여준다. 우리의 헤어뿐만 아니라 대부분의 장면에서 안정적인 결과를 보여준다.

맞벌이 가구의 증가로 육아에 대한 사회적 관심이 커지고 있다. 특히 자녀의 초등학교 입학은 상대적으로 이른 하교시간 때문에 돌봄의 공백이 생겨 출산과 더불어 여성의 경력단절에 주된 원인으로 꼽힌다. 본 연구는 이러한 정책적 기조에 부합하여 초등학생 대상 돌봄시설의 최적 입지선정 방안을 제안하였다. 돌봄시설의 후보로 기존 아이돌봄시설을 대상으로 하였으며, 최적입지 선정 시 수리적 최적화뿐만 아니라 입지적 특성을 고려하는 이중구조의 평가방법을 사용하였다. 실험은 서울시 송파구를 대상으로 진행하였으며, 총 258개의 후보시설 중 36개의 최적입지를 선정하였다. 먼저 공공데이터를 활용하여 돌봄시설의 특성에 맞는 평가기준을 세운 후 입지점수를 매겨 이에 해당하는 1차 후보시설을 선별하였으며, 이때 다양한 공공데이터를 하나로 통합하기 위하여 격자리샘플링 방법을 사용하였다. 다음으로 선별된 시설을 대상으로 공간 최적화 모델인 p-median 방법을 활용하여 최종 돌봄시설을 선정하였다. 이렇게 선정된 결과는 총 거리를 고려한 위치적 최적해 일뿐 아니라 돌봄시설의 특성을 고려한 다양한 입지적 기준을 만족하는 값이다. 본 연구에서 제안한 방법을 통해 공공데이터 융합 및 활용도를 높일 수 있고, 공공시설 최적입지 선정 시 정책 의사결정에 도움을 줄 것으로 기대한다.
