To cater to the transition from single-color to multicolor/multi-material printing, this paper proposes a cartridge-replacing type multi-nozzle Fused Depositon Modeling(FDM) three-dimensional (3D) printer. In the test printing run, tool change failure/wobble/layer shift occurred. It was confirmed that improper support was the cause of this tool change failure. As a solution, spline and electromagnetic cartridges were designed. Wobble was caused by machine vibration and the motor stepping out. To minimize wobble, an additional Z-axis was installed, and the four-point bed leveling method was used instead of the three-point bed leveling method. The occurrence of layer shift was ascribed to the eccentricity of the Z-axis lead screw. Therefore, slit coupler was replaced with an Oldham type. In addition to the mechanical supplementation, the control environment was integrated to prevent accidents and signal errors due to wire connections. Before the final test printing run, a rectifier circuit was added to the motor to secure precise control stability. The final test printing run confirmed that the wobble/layer shift phenomenon was minimized, and the maximum error between layers was reduced to 0.05.

In order to design the Linear DC Motor (LDM) with improved characteristics, transient and steady state analysis are required. furthermore, 3D analysis is also needed to analyze the precise characteristics like thrust, time harmonics. This paper deals with the transient and dynamic characteristic analysis of LDM by coupling of external circuit and motion equation using 3D Equivalent Magnetic Circuit Network Method (EMCN). For the three dimensional analysis of electric machine, EMCN is very effective method that ensures high accuracy similar to FEM and short computation time. Also, The modeling by EMCN easily allows the mover to move with respect to the stater at each time step, and the spatial moving step is determined by the solution of the mechanical motion equation and the computed electromagnetic thrust The results are compared with experimental ones to clarify the usefulness and verify the accuracy of the Proposed method.

For the first time in Korea, a 100hp high Tc superconducting(HTS) motor has been designed, developed and successfully tested recently. The design was based on 2-dimensional electromagnetic field analysis of cylindrical coordinate. The field winding of rotor was wound with Bi-2223 tapes and tested after assembled with other rotor components. The stator had air-gap type armature windings which allow higher terminal voltage and more sinusoidal voltage waveform than conventional iron cored machines. Steady state open & short-circuit test and resistive load test were conducted also in generator mode. The fabrication and test results of this machine were discussed in this paper.

In this paper, a non-contact power transferring has been performed. Power Transferring by using an electromagnetic inductive coupling is more suitable for high power transmission than by using a magnetic resonance method. Power transferring system has been designed with Loading Distribution Method to divide the electric and magnetic loading for designing the magnetic core and electric coil. To design optimum shapes of magnetic yoke, 3D finite element analysis has been performed. Experimental results show good agreement with numerical ones. So, it could be adopted in the electric power transferring system for a short-distance wireless electric power transferring machine.

The fiber-reinforced composite materials have been advanced for various applications because of their excellent mechanical and electromagnetic properties. On their manufacturing processes, however, thermo-curing inherently produces the undesired thermal deformation mainly from temperature drop from the process temperature to the room temperature, so called spring-back. The spring-back must be understood especially in the hybrid composites in order to design and fabricate desired shape. In this research, (glass fiber / epoxy) + (carbon fiber / epoxy) unsymmetric hybrid composites were fabricated under various conditions such as cure cycle, laminate thickness, stacking sequence and curing sequence. Coupons were made and spring-back were measured using coordinate measuring machine (CMM). Using the Classical Lamination Theory (CLT) and finite element analysis (ANSYS), the behavior of spring-back were predicted and compared with the experimental data. The results from CLT and FEA agreed well with the experimental data. Although, the spring-back could be reduced by lowering curing temperature, at any case, the spring-back could not be removed completely.
