Recently, cavitation on the surface of mechanical heart valve has been studied as a cause of fractures occurring in implanted Mechanical Heart Valves (MHVs). It has been conceived that the MHVs mounted in an artificial heart close much faster than in vivo sue, resulting in cavitation bubbles formation. In this study, six different kinds of mono leaflet and bileaflet valves were mounted in the mitral position in an Electro-Hydraulic Total Artificial Heart (EHTAH), and we investigated the mechanisms for MHV cavitation. The valve closing velocity and a high speed video camera were employed to investigate the mechanism for MHV cavitation. The closing velocity of the bileaflet valves was slower than that of the mono leaflet valves. Cavitation bubbles were concentrated on the edge of the valve stop and along the leaflet tip. It was established that squeeze flow holds the key to MHV cavitation in our study. Cavitation intensity increased with an increase in the valve closing velocity and the valve stop area. With regard to squeeze flow, the bileaflet valve with slow valve-closing velocity and small valve stop areas is better able to prevent blood cell damage than the monoleaflet valves.

A finite element model is developed for the process of squeeze casting of metal matrix composites (MMCs) in cylindrical molds. The fluid flow and the heat transit. are fundamental phenomena in squeeze casting. To describe heat transfer in the solidification of molten aluminum, the energy equation is written in terms of temperature and enthalpy are applied in an axisymmetric model which is similar to the experimental system. A one dimensional flow model simulates the transient metal flow. A direct iteration technique was used to solve the resulting nonlinear algebraic equations, using a computer program to calculate the enthalpy, temperature and fluid velocity. The cooling curves and temperature distribution during infiltration and solidification were calculated fer pure aluminum. Experimentally, the temperature was measured and recorded using thermocouple wire. The measured time-temperature data were compared with the calculated cooling curves. The resulting agreement shows that the finite element model can accurately estimate the solidification time and predict the cooling process.

시공 편의성 및 경제성 측면에서 장점이 있는 PE배관은 국내 도시가스 분야에서 지하 매설용으로 많이 사용되고 있다. 이러한 PE배관은 유지·보수 공사 중 가스 흐름을 차단하기 위해 많은 현장에서 스퀴즈오프를 활용하고 있다. 스퀴즈오프란 PE배관을 압착하여 유체 흐름을 차단하는 방법을 말하며 물리적인 힘에 의해 배관의 변형이 일어나는 공사의 특성상 손상이 발생할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 스퀴즈오프에 따른 PE배관의 손상방지를 위해 압축률에 따른 손상평가 및 기밀시험을 통해 적정한 압축의 범위와 사용 압력, 관경 등의 스퀴즈오프 작업 절차에 반영될 주요 사항들을 도출하였다. PE배관 손상평가를 위한 압축 실험은 압축률(20%~40%)과 사용압력 (2.8kPa, 25kPa, 70kPa), 관경(63mm, 90mm, 110mm)을 변화시키면서 실시하였다. 압축률에 따른 손상평가 결과, 과도한 압축에 따른 영향을 분석하기 위한 압축률인 45%(110mm), 73%(63mm)인 배관에서 파손이 발생하였다. 또한, 스퀴즈오프 작업 중 기밀시험은 Ar(아르곤)을 이용하여 진행되었으며, 실험결과 70kPa의 조건과 110mm 의 배관 조건에서 누출이 발생하였다. 본 연구 결과, 기밀유지를 위한 스퀴즈오프는 25kPa이하의 사용압력 및 90mm 배관을 초과하지 않는 범위의 배관에서 작업을 실시해야하며 PE배관의 손상방지를 위한 적정 압축률은 30%임을 확인하였다. 이와같은 내용을 도시가스용 PE배관의 스퀴즈오프 작업 절차에 반영할 예정이다.

A stochastic model, based on the coupling of the finite volume(FV) method for macroscopic heat flow calculation and a two-dimensional cellular automaton(CA) model for treating microstructural evolution was applied-for the prediction of microstructural evolution in squeeze casting. The interfacial heat transfer coefficient at the casting/die interface was evaluated as a function of time using an inverse problem method in order to provide a quantitative simulation of solidification sequences under high pressure. The effects of casting process variables on the formation of solidification grain structures and on the columnar to equiaxed transition of an Al-4.5wt%Cu alloy in squeeze casting were investigated. The calculated solidification grain structures were in good agreement with those obtained experimentally.

Squeeze casting has advantages to improve mechanical properties of nonferrous castings without losing high productivity. Sound pore free structure makes it possible to be subjected to heat treatment and welding. This process became popular to produce lighter automobile parts alternating cast iron parts. It has, however, two disadvantages of segregation and scattered structure due to the solidified layers in sleeve. In this study segregation behavior of squeeze cast Al-7%Si-0.3%Mg alloy bars was investigated using HVSC machine under various injection conditions. Degree of segregation decreased with injection pressure and effect of injection velocity on it was small. Segregation mode of solute was strongly governed by solidification mode and flow pattern.

The development of new techniques for the dynamic measurement of linear viscoelastic properties is an active area of rheometry, and this paper surveys some novel deformation geometries which have been recently reported e.g. oscillating probe-type devices which are imbedded in or placed on the surface of the sample. Small amplitude band-limited pseudorandom noise is used for the displacement signal, with Fourier analysis of the complex waveform of the resistance force yielding the frequency dependent viscoelastic material functions (e.g. storage and loss moduli G", G"). Theoretical calculations of the fundamental equations relating force to displacement and instrument geometry, were carried out with the aid of the correspondence principle of linear viscoelasticity. The rapidity of the tests and flexibility in terms of sample preparation and stiffness mean that this basic technique should find many applications in rheometry. Three examples of oscillatory tests are presented in detail squeeze flow, imbedded needle and concentric sliding cylinder geometries.eometries.

압축 유동하에서 측정된 시멘트 페이스트의 수직 응력은 변형률의 증가에 따라 변형률이 0.0003에서 0.003 사이 구간인 탄성 고체 구간과 변형률이 0.003에서 0.8 사이 구간인 변형률 경화 구간으로 나누어진다. 두 구간 중 변형률 경화 영역에서 유변학적 특성을 분석하기 위해 모델링 식이 제안되었다. 첫째, 유체 거동의 관점에서, 지수법칙 일관성 지수 m=700 및 멱지수 n=0.2를 갖는 지수법칙 비뉴토니언 모델이 적용되었다. 적용 결과는 탄성 고체 구간을 제외하고는 실험 결과와 좋은 일치를 보여주었다. 둘째, 연성 고체 거동의 관점에서 힘 평형 모델이 적용되었으며, 하중을 측정하는 센서부와 시멘트 페이스트 표면 간의 마찰 계수가 실험데이터에 반구간탐색법을 적용하여 변형률의 다항식으로 도출되었다. 적용 결과는 변형률이 0.003에서 0.3 사이 구간인 중간 영역에서만 실험 결과와 좋은 일치를 보여주었다. 따라서, 압축 유동 하의 시멘트 페이스트의 유변학적 거동은 변형률 경화 구간에서 연성 고체 거동의 관점보다는 지수법칙 비뉴토니언 유체 거동의 관점에서 실험 결과와 더 일치함을 보여주었다.

The valve assembly used in nuclear power plants is important safety-related equipment. In the new standard, the physical attributes are measured using a valve diagnosis test, which is used in the expansion to other non-tested valves using a quantitative test-basis methodology. With a motor-operated actuator, the state of stem's lubrication is related to physical attributes such as the stem factor and the friction coefficient. This study analyzed the numerical transient of fluid and solid lubrication with a squeeze film effect due to the loading rate on the stem and the stem nut using the experimental data. The differential equation that governs the motion mechanism of the stem and stem nut is established and analyzed. The flow rate, the fluid and the solid contact forces are calculated with the friction coefficient. Finally, we found that a change in the friction coefficient results from a change of the shear force in the solid contact mode during the interchange process between the solid contact mode and the fluid contact mode. The qualitative understanding of the squeeze film effect is expanded quantitatively for forces, thread surface distance, velocity, and acceleration, with consideration of the metal solid contact and fluid contact.

This study experimentally identifies the effects of end shape, clearance, total damper length, journal eccentricity ratio, oil supply pressure, and oil flow rate on the damping coefficient of a squeeze film damper (SFD) with piston ring seal ends and a central groove. The SFD is composed of a lubricating fluid flowing between the outer race of a rolling element bearing and cartridge, along with an anti-rotation pin to prevent the rotation of the outer race. The device provides additional viscous damping to a rotating system. Additionally, piston ring seals attached at both ends of the damper increase the damping coefficient of the rotating system by reducing oil leakage. Because these different design conditions affect the damping coefficient of an SFD, we perform experiments including different conditions. Tests show that the damping coefficient increases significantly in the SFD with piston ring seal ends compared with the SFD with open ends. The damping coefficient also increases with increasing total damper length and journal eccentricity ratio, and decreases with increasing clearance. Additionally, in contrast to the trend observed for the SFD with open ends, the damping coefficient for the SFD with piston ring seal ends increases with increasing supply pressure and flow rate as the frequency decreases but shows consistent results as the frequency increases.
