Instrumented indentation testing has been widely used for residual stress measurement. The Knoop indentation is mainly selected for determining anisotropic mechanical properties and non-equibiaxial residual stress. However, the measurement of equibiaxial stress state and compressive residual stress on a specimen surface using Knoop indentation is neither fully comprehended nor unavailable. In this study, we investigated stress conversion factors for measuring Knoop indentation on equibiaxial stress state through indentation depth using finite element analysis. Knoop indentation was conducted for specimens to determine tensile and compressive equibiaxial residual stress. Both were found to be increased proportionally according to indentation depth. The stress field beneath the indenter during each indentation test was also analyzed. Compressive residual stress suppressed the in-plane expansion of stress field during indentation. In contrast, stress fields beneath the indenter developed diagonally downward for tensile residual stress. Furthermore, differences between trends of stress fields at long and short axes of Knoop indenter were observed due to difference in indenting angles and the projected area of plastic zone that was exposed to residual stress.

A Gimbal structure system in observation reconnaissance aircraft is made up of camera module and stabilization drive device supporting camera module. During flight for image recording, the aircraft undergoes serious accelerations with wide frequencies due to several factors. Though base excitation of stabilization drive device induces vibration of camera module, it must get the stable and clean images. To achieve this aim, acceleration of camera module must be reduced. Hence, vibration isolators were installed to stabilization drive device. Considering isolators and bearings in the stabilization drive device, vibration characteristics of gimbal structure system were analyzed by finite element method. For three translational direction, acceleration transmissibility of camera module was calculated by harmonic responses analysis in the frequency range of 5 ~ 500 Hz. In addition to, sine-sweep experiment were performed to prove correctness of present analysis.

Peltier cells have low efficiency, but they are becoming attractive alternatives for affordable and environmentally clean cooling. In this line, the current article develops closed-form and semianalytical solutions to improve the temperature distribution of Bi₂Te₃ thermoelements. From the distribution, the main objective of the current work-the optimal electric intensity to maximize cooling-is inferred. The general one-dimensional differential coupled equation is integrated for linear and quadratic geometry of thermoelements, under temperature constant properties. For a general shape, a piece-wise solution based on heat flux continuity among virtual layers gives accurate analytical solutions. For variable properties, another piece-wise solution is developed but solved iteratively. Taking advantage of the formulae, the optimal intensity is directly derived with a minimal computational cost; its value will be of utility for more advanced designs. Finally, a parametric study including straight, two linear, barrel, hourglass and vase geometries is presented, drawing conclusions on how the shape of the thermoelement affects the coupled phenomena. A specially developed coupled and non-linear finite element research code is run taking into account all the materials of the cell and using symmetries and repetitions. These accurate results are used to validate the analytical ones.

The emerging Versatile Video Coding (VVC) standard introduces Bi-prediction with CU-level Weights (BCW) to enhance the bi-predictive prediction. The syntax element of BCW index is adaptively coded according to the value of NoBackwardPredFlag which indicates if there is no future picture in the display order among the reference pictures, and it can violate the flexibility of codec and cause the dependency issue. This paper proposes BCW clean-up design that allows all weights can be parsed without any condition. The experimental results show negligible BD-rate losses while resolving the issues.

The shotpeening treatment were conducted for improving the strength of rolling contact fatigue of machine element like a gear. This paper was undertaken to analyze the influence of shotpeening treatment for inner race of ball bearing on the roiling contact fatigue. Shotpeening treatment were applied to the full hardened and the carbonitrided bearing. And the rolling contact fatigue life test and X-ray diffraction test were carried out. The results of this study showed that the fatigue life of ball bearing in the clean and the contaminated oil could be improved by shotpeening treatment. This effect was found to be more pronounced to the full hardened bearing.

Transesterfication of vegetable oils and methanol with alkaline catalyst was carried out to produce biodiesel fuel by continuous process. The process consists of two static mixers, one tubular reactor and two coolers and gave $96{\sim}99$% of methyl ester yield from soybean oil and rapeseed oil. Experimental variables were the molar ratios of methanol to vegetable oil, alkaline catalyst contents, flow rates, mixer element number. The optimum ranges of operating variables were as follows; reaction temperature of $70^{\circ}C$, l:6 of molar ratio of methanol to oil, O.4%(w/w) sodium hydroxide based on oil, static mixer elements number of 24 and 4 min. residence time.

The simplest and lightest element-hydrogen is an alternative fuel which provides a clean and renewable energy source. Hydrogen can be used to power gas-type appliance and modified automobiles with water vapor as the only byproduct of combustion. Historically, production of hydrogen from coal was one of the mass production technology of hydrogen. In this paper, the status of hydrogen production process from coal was investigated to review the current situation of hydrogen production and utilization.

Finally, We will propose a method for generating electrical energy with a piezoelectric element using vibration, an energy source can be obtained from the "clean" energy.

This paper describes the process of levitation melting of metals in an axisymmetric induction heating system. This process has advantages of low heat losses, heating with short times and clean operating conditions. The shape of molten metal is determined using sensitivity analysis and optimization technique. Electromagnetic, gravitational and surface tension energies are considered, and these energies are used as an objective function in optimization process. Electromagnetic field are calculated using the finite element method. The fact that volume is constant in the process is also considered as an equality constraint.
