An automobile lower arm has been fabricated in a prototype form by hydroforming with the aids of numerical analysis and experiments. For the numerical process design, a program called HydroFORM-3D developed here on the basis of a rigid-plastic model, has been applied to the lower arm hydroforming. The friction calculation between die and workpiece has been dealt carefully by introducing a new scheme in three-dimensional surface integration. To accomplish successful hydroforming process design, thorough investigation on proper combination of process parameters such as internal hydraulic pressure, axial feeding, and tool geometry has been performed. Results obtained from numerical simulation for a lower arm in hydroforming process are compared with a series of experiments. The comparison shows that the numerical analysis successfully provides the manufacturing information on the lower arm hydroforming, and it predicts the geometrical deformation and the thinning.

This paper presents two numerical algorithms for registration of cross-sectional medical images such as CT (Computerized Tomography) or MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) by using geometrical information from helix or line fiducials. The registration algorithms are designed to be used for a surgical robot working inside cavities of human body. A cylindrical device with a combination of line and helix fiducials were also devised and is supposed to be attached to the end-effector of surgical robot. The algorithms and the fiducial pattern were tested in various computer-simulated situations, and the results indicate excellent overall registration accuracy.

Finish machining of a curved surface is often carried out by an NC system with curve interpolation in the field. This NURBS interpolation adopts a feedrate optimizing strategy based on both the geometrical information and dynamic properties. In case of a finish cut using a ball-end mill, the curve interpolator needs to take the machining process into account for more improved surface, while reducing the polishing time. In this study, the effect of low machinability at the bottom of a tool on surface roughness is also considered. A particular curve interpolation algorithm is proposed fur generating feedrate commands which are able to control the roughness of a curved surface. The simulation of the machined surface by the proposed algorithm was carried out, and experimental results are presented.

Finite element method is very effective method to simulate the forming processes with good prediction of the deformation behaviour. For the finite element modeling of sheet mental forming the accurate tool model is required. Due to the geometrical complexity of real-size part stamping tools it is hard to make FE model for real-size auto-body stamping parts. In this paper, it was focussed on the drawability factors on auto-body panel stamping by AUTOFORM with using tool planning alloy to reduce law price as well as high precision from Design Optimization of die. According to this study, the results of simulation will give engineers good information to access the Design Optimization of die.

광섬유를 이용한 광스위치 연결작업에 있어서 페룰(Ferrule)면의 가공정도는 광커넥터 작업의 성패를 자우하는 매우 중요한 요소이다. 종래의 방법에서는 페룰면을 육안 검사나 현미경을 통한 확대 검사등의 방법을 사용하였고 자동화 검사의 경우도 절대적인 평탄도나 진원도를 나타내는 절대적인 값을 제시하고 있지 못한 단점이 있다. 이를 보완하기 위하여 카메라 입력단에 사각형의 기하 구조를 설치하고 이를 기준으로 영상을 전면에서 본 영상으로 변환하여 페룰면의 가공정도를 나타내주는 변수를 추출하는 새로운 방법을 제안하였다. 또한 실제 구현을 통하여 알고리즘의 강인성을 증명하였다.

In this paper, we presented geometric CAD watermarking scheme for Architectural design drawings using line, arc, and circle components to prevent infringement of copyright from unlawfulness reproductions and distribution. The conventional CAD watermarking scheme can be applied to both line and arc components. But the proposed scheme consists of line, arc and circle watermarking schemes for three basic components of CAD design. After extracting line, arc and circle components from designed drawing, the watermark is embedded into the length of Line component, the angle of arc component, and the radius of circle component considering the robustness against various geometric transformations. The embedding strengths in each component are determined to be preserving the transparency of the watermark. By experimental result, we confirmed the robustness and the invisibility of embedded watermarks in several conversions of architectural design drawing.

Cylinder block is driven by tapered piston for bent-axis type piston pump, so that geometrical mechanism is very complicate. Piston rod must have not separated from shaft when shaft and piston rod is assembled. For this reason, shaft design is changed. Finite element analysis is performed for analyzed structural stability and flexible dynamic behavior. The result of the analysis, maximum equivalent stress occurred under yield stress, therefore structural stability is satisfactory. and flexible dynamic analysis give useful information about driving gear. These background data is avail of manufacture of piston pump.

A design methodology is applied for manufacturing a disk-brake piston component and a washing machine container. The design criteria are the limit drawing ratio and the forging load within the available press limit. Also, the final product should not have any geometrical defect. The rigid-plastic and elastic-plastic FEM have been applied to simulate both of the conventional manufacturing processes, respectively, which include deep drawing and forging process. Simulations of one stage process from a selected stock to the final product shape are performed for generating information on additional requirements for metal flow. The best manufacturing processes are selected, which is using a hemispherical punch in the deep drawing process for both disk-brake piston component and washing machine container.

In this paper, the new casing oscillator, which is a construction machine and which structure is similar to that of a parallel manipulator with redundancy, is proposed. The singularity analysis of this machine is performed by two different methods. First, the singularities are found by the numerical method at configurations where the rank of the Jacobian matrix becomes deficient. The singularities are outside the workspace. To investigate the physical information on these configurations, the singularities are examined by the geometric method at configurations where the casing oscillator cannot resist the external forces and moments applied to the upper platform due to losing static equilibrium. The results of the geometric method are the same as those of the numerical method. It proves that the new casing oscillator is free from the singularity, which causes serious problems to a parallel manipulator.

본 논문은 컬러 입력 영상에서 검출된 얼굴 영역 내의 홀(hole)들간의 기하학적 구조를 이용하여 포즈를 추정하는 방법을 제시한다. 얼굴 영역 검출에서는 특징값 기반의 알고리즘 중 피부색 분포를 이용하는 방법을 적용하며, 이 때 발생하는 조명에 의한 열화를 제거한다. 본 논문에서는 TSL 색상 모델을 사용하고, 조명에 의해 너무 밝게 표현되는 부분의 피부값을 조정함으로써 조명에 대한 보정을 실시한다. 그런 다음, 얼굴 영역 안에서 찾은 홀을 피부영역이 아닌 얼굴 구성요소(양눈, 입)로 가정하여, 후보 구성요소들의 기하학적 구조를 이용해 다양한 포즈의 입력 영상에 대한 포즈를 추정한다. 추정된 값은 향후 다양한 포즈에 대한 특징점 추출이나 얼굴 인식에 활용될 수 있다.
