The increasing requirement for consistency and quality in the automotive industry started the development of a Machine Vision Inspection System (MVIS) for a car seat bottom cushion frame with the goal of providing a higher precision Inspection System with minimal components and less human intervention. The modifications made to an existing PC-based MVIS were shown to improve the accuracy and precision of the system. By using four monochrome cameras, the working distance was lowered and the image distortions were lessened without resorting to extensive image processing. The inspection scripts were evaluated if it could recognize good and bad products and were shown to be robust and able to reach an acceptable level of precision. It was also shown that the amount of human interaction was lessened.

In this study, The Von Mises stresses in composite plate loaded in tension and repaired by a boron/epoxy scarf patch were analyzed using the finite element method. The performance of the repairs depends on several parameters: the dimensions and the intrinsic properties of the patch and the adhesive which are dependent on each other. Therefore, the method of experiment designs is used to determine the interaction effect of different parameters (patch folds), their optimum and the most influential parameter. The optimum of stacking sequences allows reducing stresses significantly, and thus permits designers to improve the quality of repairs.

The surfaces of machine components in sliding contact such as bearing, gears and pistons etc. frequently operate under the condition of mixed lubrication due to high load, high speed and slip. These machine components often undergo the inception of scuffing in practical application. The scuffing failure is a critical problem in modern machine components, especially for the requirement of high efficiency and small size. However, it is difficult to find a universal mechanism to explain all scuffing phenomena because there are so many factors affecting the onset of scuffing. In this study, scuffing experiments are conducted using Acoustic Emission(AE) measurement by an indirect sensing approach to detect scuffing failure. Acoustic Emission(AE) signal has been widely utilized to monitor the interaction at the friction interface. Using AE signals we can get an indication about the state of the friction processes, about the quality of solid and liquid layers eon the contacting surfaces in real time. The FFT(Fast Fourier Transform)analyses of the AE signal are used to understand the interfacial interaction and the relationship between the AE signal and the state of contact is presented

Robot position/force control has been a difficult task owing to the interaction between a robot and an environment with a rather high stiffness. In addition to the dynamic instability, the interaction causes the following problem : 1) chattering at steady-state, 2) dynamic coupling effect of robot, and 3) performance degradation due to a titled environment. To solve the problem, the Time Delay Control(TDC), which has been known to be quiet robust to plant uncertainties and disturbances, has been applied. In conjunction to TDC, the following three ideas were also used : 1) To reduce the amplitude of the chattering at the steady state, a novel scheme was adopted to enhance the resolution type solution of A/D conversion for the force sensor. 2) To reduce the dynamic coupling, a trajectory type position command was tried on a comparative basis to the step command, as well as a more accurate mass matrix was used instead of the constant mass matrix. 3) And finally to improve the performance in the tilted environment, force derivatives instead of position derivatives were used in the TDC law. Computer simulations and experiments resulted in obvious improvements on the quality of the hybrid control, thereby clearly demonstrating the effectiveness of TDC with the proposed ideas.

A silicon carbide (SiC) ceramic filter is an effective component for hot flue gas cleaning because of its high collection efficiency, high thermal shock resistance, and excellent mechanical strength. The effect of molding pressure in the production of SiC granular ceramic filters, on the mechanical strength and filtration performance, was investigated in this work. It was found that the ceramic filters produced at molding pressures less than 20 MPa have low mechanical strength and that this result was caused by weak physical interaction among the ceramic powders due to defects and cracks. On the other hand, the filter quality factor(q_F), which represents filtration performance of filter media, decreased with increasing the molding pressure due to the drastic increase in pressure drop. Ceramic filter performance factor(q_FM), which is the manipulation of maximum mechanical strength and q_F, was introduced to consider both mechanical strength and filtration performance in this study. As a result, molding pressure of 30 MPa was desirable to produce a SiC granular ceramic filter based on q_FM.

The study about VR (Virtual Reality) has been done from the 1960s, but technical limits and high cost made VR hard to commercialize. However, in recent, high resolution display, computing power and 3D sensing have developed and hardware has become affordable. Therefore, normal users can get high quality of immersion and interaction. However, HMD devices which offer VR environment have high latency, so it disrupts the VR environment. People are usually sensitive to relative latency over 20ms. In this paper, as adding the Electromyogram (EMG) sensors to typical IMU sensor only system, the latency reduction method is proposed. By changing software and hardware components, some cases the latency was reduced significantly. Hence, this study covers the possibility and the experimental verification about EMG sensors for reducing the latency.

The aeroacoustic characteristics of a centrifugal fan for a vacuum cleaner and its noise reduction method are studied in this paper. The major noise source of a vacuum cleaner is the centrifugal fan. The impeller of the fan rotates at over 30000 rpm, and generates very high-level noise. It was revealed that the dominant noise source is the aerodynamic interaction between the rotating impeller and stationary diffuser. The directivity of acoustic pressure showed that most of the noise propagates backward direction of the fan-motor assembly. In order to reduce the high tonal sound generated from the aerodynamic interaction, unevenly pitched impeller and diffuser, and tapered impeller designs were proposed and experiments were performed. Uneven pitch design of the impeller changes the sound quality while the overall sound power level (SPL) and the performance remains similar. The effect of the tapered design of impeller was evaluated. The trailing edge of the tapered fan is inclined. This reduces the flow interaction between the rotating impeller and the stationary diffuser because of some phase shifts. The static efficiency of the new impeller design is slightly lower than the previous design. However, the overall SPL is reduced by about 4 dB(A). The SPL of the fundamental blade passing frequency (BPF) is reduced by about 6 dB (A) and the 2$\^$nd/ BPF is reduced about 20 dB (A). The vacuum cleaner with the tapered impeller design produces lower noise level than the previous one, and the strong tonal sound was dramatically reduced.

The characteristics of the PZT/PMM and PZT/Butadiene composites with 3 dimensional network structure have been investigated as a function of the PZT volume fraction. The dielectric constants of the PZT composites increased linearly as the PZT volume fraction increased. However, they are not significantly affected by the polymer compliance. The piezoelectric d33 coefficients of the PZT/Butadiene are largest than the PZT/PMM because of the high elastic compliance which promotes stress transfer. The values of the mechanical quality factor adn frequency factor of the PZT/PMM composite are slightly larger, while the planar coupling factor is smaller, than the PZT/Butadiene composite. These results are due to strong interaction and mechanical coupling between PZT and PMM.

In this paper, both experimental measurement and theoretical analysis are used to investigate the out-of-plane resonant characteristics of a cantilevered piezoceramic plate in air and three different kinds of fluid. The experimental method, amplitude-fluctuation electronic speckle pattern interferometry (AF-ESPI), is the major technique used in this study to measure the resonant characteristics of the cantilivered piezoceramic plate. Both resonant frequencies and full-field mode shapes are obtained from this experimental technique. Numerical computations based on the finite element analysis are presented for comparison with the experimental results. Good quality of mode shapes for the cantilevered piezoceramic plate in air is obtained from the AF-ESPI technique. However, the quality decreases as the viscosity of fluids increases. From the results provided from experimental measurements and numerical computations, it is indicated that the resonant frequencies of the cantilevered piezoceramic plate in fluid decrease with the increase of the viscosity of fluids. Good agreements between the experimental measured data and the numerical calculated results are found for both resonant frequencies and mode shapes of the cantilevered piezoceramic plate in fluid.
