Flip-learning enables an effective teaching and learning in accordance with the deepening degree of engineering education as a framework that enables learning according to the individual differences of the theoretical aspects, and solving real problems and practice of the learner-centered education through the application of this. The subject of basic fluid power practice which is used in various industries requiring factory automation aims at understanding of the composition and operating principles of pneumatic components and programming of electric sequential circuits, building the design ability of pneumatic system. This subject goes by 3 hour classes with theory and practice side by side. So it has not enough time to instruct students various contents related in this subject. In this study, the instructional design was performed according to the KOREATECH (Korea University of Technology and Education) flip-learning basic model for the effective teaching of 'Basic Fluid Power Practice' in basic engineering practice courses,. And the effectiveness of flip-learning is analyzed through the students survey after performing classes.

This research describes the development model and testing of a hybrid damper which can be applicable to a vehicle suspension. The hybrid damper is devised to improve the performance of a conventional passive oil damper using a magneto-rheological (MR) accumulator which consists of a gas accumulator and a MR device. The level of damping is continuously variable by the means of control in the applied current in a MR device fitted to a floating piston which separates the gas and the oil chamber. A simple MR device is used to resist the movement of floating piston. At first a mathematical model which describes all flows within the conventional oil damper is formulated, and then a small MR device is also devised and adopted to a mathematical model to characterize the performance of the device.

Two criteria of good vehicle suspension performance are typically their ability to provide good road handling and increased passenger comfort. So far, The existing active vehicle suspension uses pneumatic and hydraulic actuators that enhance road handling and passenger comfort. But these kinds of actuators have nonlinear characteristic less than an electromagnetic motor. In this research, we are trying to examine the feasibility and the experiment of an active vehicle suspension using electromagnetic motor in order to enhance the ride quality because existing active vehicle suspension using active power sources such as compressors, hydraulic pumps has nonlinear characteristic. Active vehicle suspension using electromagnetic motor will have the ability to behave differently on smooth and rough roads. The desired response should be soft in order to enhance ride comfort, but when the road surface is too rough the suspension should stiffen up to avoid hitting its limits.

In this paper, the performance improvement of a decentralized brake system for railway rolling stocks is investigated. In order to verify the effectiveness of the decentralized brake system, it is compared to the truck unit brake system which has only one control unit per a truck. The adaptive sliding mode control scheme is used to realize a robust anti-slip brake control system. Through computer simulations, it is verified that the decentralized brake system has better braking performance than the truck unit brake system.

A pneumatic tire is made up of many flexible filaments of high modulus cord of natural textile, synthetic polymer, glass fiber, or fine hard drawn steel embedded in and bonded to a matrix of low modulus polymetric material. Adhesion property of these materials is very important in tire durability safety because belt-leaving-belt tread separation reduces the ability of a driver to control a vehicle, whether or not the separation is accompanied by a loss of air. In this study adhesion test of carcass-belt-tread is conducted on material properties of 5 PCR tire model, which are on sale in domestic market and analyzed adhesion properties. For those tire models FMVSS 109 indoor high speed durability test is conducted to analyze the correlation between adhesion force and high speed performance of tires and found the correlation between the two test results.

Research and development of mineral resource related products has progressed with the increased need to develop mineral resources. The DTH hammer is one a resultant product. However, due to particular work conditions of underground drilling, it is difficult to obtain direct data on the DTH Hammer. A DTH drill rig requires a lot of money and time for actual testing. This thesis aimed to resolve this problem by using CAE. First, the structure of the DTH hammer and the movement was analyzed. Next, a standard model based on simulation was proposed and then experimentation and comparison verification was conducted. In addition, the verified models were applied to products of various sizes, and the models used in simulation were compared by conducting field tests.

In this paper we detected the thrombosis formation by spectral analysis and neural network. Using microphone and amplifier, we measured the sound from the mechanical valve which is attached to the pneumatic ventricular assist device. The sound was sampled by A/D converter and the periodogram is the main algorithm or obtaining spectrum. We made the valvular thrombosis models using pellethane and silicon and they are thrombosis model on the disk, around the sewing ring and fibrous tissue growth across the orifice of valve. The spectrum of normal and 5 kinds of thrombotic valve were obtained and primary and secondary peak appeared in each spectrum waveform. So to distinguish the secondary peak of normal and thrombotic valve quantatively, 3 layer back propagation neural network.

In this study, the isolation system for multi-mechanism HIF (high impulsive force) device has been investigated. For this purpose, parameter optimization process has been performed based on the simplified isolation system model under constraints of moving displacement and transmitted force. The design parameters for multi-mechanism HIF device have been derived with respect to HIF system I and HIF system II, respectively. In order to implement the dynamic absorbing system, the dual stage hydro-pneumatic damper and magnetorheological damper with semi-active control scheme are considered. Finally, the performance of the designed prototype isolation system has been evaluated by experimental works under actual operating conditions.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a new submersible fish cage operated by a pneumatic system for offshore aquaculture. Although some researchers have investigated modeling and control of fish cages, such cages consist of variable ballast tanks that with closed cylinders and thus present a maintenance issue. In solving the issue the new submersible fish cage investigated consists of bottom-opening cylinders. Accordingly, we designed a mathematical model of the concept and applied Sliding Mode Control for nonlinear angle control. Some experiments conducted under assumed conditions indicate that the angle of the system converges to zero under all conditions and the control has the stability to balance the fish cage.

Ride comfort is one of the major factors in evaluating the performance of the vehicle. Tire is closely related to the ride comfort of the vehicle as the only parts in contact with the road surface directly. Vertical stiffness which is one of the parameters to evaluate the tire performance is great influence on the ride comfort. In general, the lower the vertical stiffness, the ride comfort is improved. Research for improving the ride comfort has been mainly carried out by optimizing the shape of the pneumatic tire. However, demand for safety of the vehicle has been increased recently such as a run-flat tire which is effective in safety improvement. But a run-flat tire have trouble in practical use because of poor ride comfort than general tire. Therefore, In this paper, the research was carried out for improving the ride comfort through the optimization of the SIR shape inside a run-flat tire. Meta-model was generated by using the design of experiment and it was able to reduce the time for the finite element analysis of optimization. In addition, Shape optimization for improving the ride comfort was performed by using the genetic algorithm which is one of the global optimization techniques.
