The optimal drill helix angle, point angle, and cutting conditions are recommended in the study so as to maximize the drilling performance by investigating the experimental reaults concerning with the state of chip formation, roundness of machined holes, and geometry of projected burr at hole exit, which are examined under the conditions of various helix angles, drill point angles of twist drill, cutting speeds, and feeds in operional parameters. In the easiness of chip escape, the helical type of chip is producted when a helix angle is 30$^{\circ}$, drill point angle 118$^{\circ}$, 140$^{\circ}$and feed is st between 0.1 and 0.15mm/rev. Roundness of machined hole is improved when the helix angle is 37$^{\circ}$, drill point angle is 118$^{\circ}$, and feed is 0.15mm/rev. The height of projected burr at the button of machined hole increases when the drill point angle and helix angle becomes large.

The new numerical procedure for hydroplaning has been developed by considering the following three important factors; fluid/structure interaction, tire rolling, and practical tread pattern. The tire was analyzed by FEM with Lagrangian formulation and the fluid is analyzed by FVM with Eulerian formulation. Since the tire and the fluid are modeled separately and their coupling is automatically computed by the coupling element, the fluid/structure interaction of the complex geometry such as the tire with the tread pattern can be analyzed practically. We verified the predictability of the hydroplaning simulation in the different parameters such as the water flow, the velocity dependence of hydroplaning, and the effect of the tread pattern on hydroplaning. In order to predict the streamline in the contact patch, the procedure of the global-local analysis was developed. Since the streamline could be predicted by this technology, we could develop the new pattern in a short period based on the principle; "make the stream line smooth".

An automotive wheel bearing is one of the most important components to guarantee the service life of a passenger car. The endurance life of a bearing is affected by many parameters such as material properties, heat treatment, lubrication conditions, temperature, loading conditions, bearing geometry, internal clearance and so on. In this paper, we analyze the relation between loads and deformations of wheel bearing units. On the basis of it, we calculate the endurance life of wheel bearing units and suggest a method to determine the initial contact angle to achieve a maximum endurance life with considering stress concentration.

The finite element method is applied to analyze the mechanism of metal cutting. This paper introduces some effects, such constitutive deformation laws of workpiece material, friction of tool-chip contact interfaces, tool rake angles and also simulate the cutting process, chip formation and geometry, tool-chip contact, reaction force of tool, cutting temperature. Under the usual [lane strain assumption, quasi-static analysis were performed with variation of tool-chip interface friction coefficients and rake angles. In this analysis, various cutting speeds and depth of cut are adopted. Some cutting parameters are affected to cutting force, plastic deformation of chip, shear plane angle, chip thickness and tool-chip contact length and reaction forces on tool. Cutting temperature and Thermal behavior. Several aspects of the metal cutting process predicted by the finite element analysis provide information about tool shape design and optimal cutting conditions.

The explicit scheme for finite element analysis of sheet metal forming problems has been widely used for providing practical solution since it improves the convergency problem,memory size and computational time especially for the case of complicated geometry and large element number. In the present work, a basic formulation for rigid-plastic explicit finite element analysis of plain strain sheet metal forming problems has been proposed. The effect of some basic parameters involved in the dynamic analysis has been studied in detail. A direct trial-and-error method is introduced to treat contact and friction. In order to show the validity and effectiveness of the proposed explicit scheme, computation are carried out for cylindrical punch stretching and the computational results are compared with those by the implicit scheme as well as with a commercial code. The proposed rigid-plastic explicit element method can be used as a robust and efficient computational method for analysis of sheet method forming.

A computer-aided process design system for axisymmetric deep drawing products has been developed. An approach to the system is based on the knowledge based system. The hypothesized process outline of the deep drawing operations is generated in the geometrical design module of the system. In this paper, the module has been expanded. The rules of process design sechems for complex cup drawings are formulated from handbooks, experimental results and empirical knowhow of the field experts. The input to the system is final sheet-metal objects geometry and the output from the system is process sequence with intermediate objects geometries and process parameters, such as drawing load, blank holding force, clearance and cup-drawing coefficient.

Sealing an oil-air mixture plays important roles to have an enhanced lubrication for high speed spindle. High speed spindle requires non-contact type of sealing mechanism. Current work emphases on the investigation of the air jet effect on the protective collar type labyrinth seal. To improve the sealing capability of conventional labyrinth seal, air jet was injected against through the leakage flow, It has a combined geometry of a protective collar type and an air jet type. Both of a numerical analysis by CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and experimental measurements are carried out to verify sealing improvement The sealing effects of the leakage clearance and the air jet magnitude are studied in various parameters. The results of pressure drop in the experiment match reasonably to those of the simulation by introducing a flow coefficient Effect of sealing improvement is explained as decreasing of leakage clearance by air jetting. Thus, sealing effect is improved by amount of air jetting even though clearance becomes larger.

In this study, the stiffness and damping coefficients of herringbone grooved air journal bearings are studied. A generalized coordinate transformation method to handle the complex geometry of incompressible fluid bearing is modified for compressible fluid. The modified equations are discretized by the base of finite difference method. A new computer program using Visual C++ language is developed. The load carrying capacity and stiffness and damping coefficients are calculated according to the design parameters like groove depth or the number of grooves and compared to that of plain air journal bearings.

고인성 종이의 탄성-소성 파괴를 파괴역학을 이용하여 분석하였다. 탄성-소성 물질의 파괴에 있어서 균열이 언제 진행되기 시작하는지 이론적 판단 기준을 유도하고, mode I 파괴를 linear image strain analysis(LISA)로 관찰한 후, 파괴역학 변수들을 계산하였다. 크랙(crack)이 있는 물질에 외부하중이 작용할 때 변형율 에너지 발산 속도(strain energy release rate)가 그 물질이 견딜 수 있는 파괴저항(fracture resistance)에 도달하면 안정적인 파괴가 진행된다. 이를 이용하여 크랙의 초기 진행시 결점주위의 응력, 파괴저항, 크랙 진행거리, 기하인자(geometry factor) 등을 구하였다. 이 변수들은 종이의 파괴역학적 특성을 정량적으로 나타내므로 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
