Gears, crucial components in modern precision machinery for power transmission mechanisms, are required to have low contacting noise with high torque transmission, which makes the use of gear-tooth profile modifications and gear-tooth surface crowning extremely efficient and valuable. Due to the shortcomings of current techniques, such as manual rectification, mechanical modification, and numerically controlled rectification, we propose a novel electrochemical gear-tooth profile modification method based on an artificial neural network control technique. The fundamentals of electrochemical tooth-profile modifications based on real-time control and a mathematical model of the process are discussed in detail. Due to the complex and uncertain relationships among the machining parameters of electrochemical tooth-profile modification processes, we used an artificial neural network to determine the required processing electric current as the tooth-profile modification requirements were supplied. The system was implemented and a practical example was used to demonstrate that this technology is feasible and has potential applications in the production of precision machinery.

Cam rack pinion (CRP) system which consists of cam rack and roller pinion transforms the rotation motion into linear one. The roller pinion has the plurality of rollers and meshes with its conjugated cam rack. The exact tooth profile of the cam rack and the non-undercut condition to satisfy the required performance have been proposed by introducing the profile shift coefficient. The load stress factors are investigated by varying the shape design parameters to predict the gear surface fatigue limit which is strongly related to the gear noise and vibration at the contact patch. The results show that the pitting life can be extended significantly by increasing the profile shift coefficient.

In this paper, a new nano/micro-mechanical processing test machine was developed. This new test machine, which is based on the principle of the scanning force controlled probe microscope, can realize nano/micro-mechanical machining and in-process profile measurement. Experimental results of nano/micro indentation and scratching show that the controllable cutting depth of the test machine can be controlled by PZT actuator. Profile measurement of the machined surface has also been performed by using the test machine and a conventional AFM(Atomic Force Microscopy). A good agreement of the two measurement results have been achieved.

Simplified model of slide-fed curtain coating flow has been developed and tested in this study. It rests on the sheet profile equations for curtain thickness in curtain flow and its trajectory derived by the integral momentum balance approach of Higgins and Scriven (1979) and Kistler (1983). It also draws on the film profile equation of film thickness variation in flow down a slide. The equations have been solved in finite difference approximation by Newton iteration with continuation. The results show that how inertia (Rey­nolds number), surface tension (capillary number), inclination angle of the slide, and air pressure difference across the curtain affect sheet trajectory and thickness profile. It has been revealed that approximate models can be useful to easily analyze coating flow dynamics without complex computations, giving qualitative agreement with full theory and with experiment.

In this paper, It does the profile measurement of the cam of diesel engine SOHC of the actual object. It uses the measurement of run-out method. This method is that the surface of the object is measured by the sensor when the object rotate, and calculated and displayed by the computer the signal which acquired by sensor. When we acquire the signals, we have two error because of motion and contacting between cam and probe. In this paper, we compensate the motion error while simply liner equation. And we have a solution that we change the figure of probe when we have a contacting error. We compared the data measuring on developed automatic cam profile measuring system with the data measured on CMM.

The pin-gear drive is a special form of fixed-axle gear mechanism. A large wheel with cylindrical pin teeth is called a pinwheel. As pinwheels are rounded, they have a simple structure, easy processing, low cost, and easy overhaul compared with general gears. They are also suitable for low-speed, heavy-duty mechanical transmission and for occasions with more dust, poor lubrication, etc. This paper introduces a novel slewing ring bearing with an external pinwheel gear set (e-PGS). First, we consider the exact cam pinion profile of the e-PGS with the introduction of a profile shift. Then, the contact stresses are investigated to determine the characteristics of the surface fatigue by varying the shape design parameters. The results show that the contact stresses of the e-PGS can be lowered significantly by increasing the profile shift coefficient.

The three-dimensional profile of a solder fillet is predicted by minimizing the surface tension and gravity energies of the solder joint using finite element modeling. Geometric complexity stemming from the inclined plane of the gullwing lead is resolved by employing three element types. These element types are used to describe the joint profile formed on the vertical, inclined and interfacial planes. The predicted solder joint profiles show good agreements with the experimental data provided that the solder volume is adjusted considering the wicking effects. Effects of the pad length, inclined lead angle and solder volume on joint profiles are also investigated.

The subsurface stress field beneath the roller's contacting surface due to the contact pressure in lubricating condition has been calculated. Main purpose of this study in view of engineering is to prove the validity of the numerical profile roller presented by Koo et al. The Love's rectangular patch solution was used to obtain the subsurface stress field. The stress field of the numerical profile roller was compared with the one of the existing dub-off profile roller The analysis results show reduced subsurface stresses for the numerical profile roller.

본 연구는 입자영상유속계(PIV)와 일차원 프로펠러 유속계를 이용하여 개수로 흐름 외부영역의 연직 유속분포를 측정하고 분석하였다. 수리실험은 크게 두 가지 조건에 대해 수행하였다. 첫 번째는 하상조건에 따른 유속분포의 변화를 파악하였고 두 번째는 흐름특성, 특히 Froude 수의 변화에 따른 유속분포를 파악하였다. 측정 결과 바닥에서부터 최대유속 발생지점까지는 후류법칙과 잘 맞는 경향을 보였으나, 최대 유속발생지점으로부터 수표면까지는 유속이 감소하는 현상이 나타났다. 또한 외부영역의 유속분포는 조도보다 Froude 수의 영향을 많이 받는 것으로 나타났으며 Froude 수가 증가함에 따라 유속감소 현상도 커지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이에 따라 최대유속과 표면유속의 차와 평균유속과 표면유속의 비가 Froude 수가 증가함에 따라 각각 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

외접기어의 어느 한쪽 기어를 핀 또는 롤러로 대체한 롤러 피니언 기어 (RPG) 시스템은 기어 치물림 시 미끄럼 접촉을 줄이고 구름운동을 증대시켜 기어 내구성을 향상시킬 수 있다. 우선 본 논문에서는 전위계수(profile shift coefficient)를 고려하여 RPG 시스템의 캠 기어(cam gear)의 엄밀 치형설계 방법 및 치 꼬임으로 인한 간섭 방지조건을 제시하였다. 또 기어구동에 있어 치면에서 발생되는 진동이나 소음의 원인이 되는 피팅(pitting) 발생수명을 고려하기 위해, 설계인자의 변화에 따른 Hertz 접촉응력 및 하중응력계수(load stress factor)의 변화를 검토하였다. 이를 통해 RPG 시스템의 내구성을 향상시킬 수 있는 방안으로 전위계수의 증가를 제안하였다.
