Purpose: This study attempts to find out the optimum condition of the rotary cutter making pellet in the footwear outsole process. The pellets are used in the process of outsole rubber fabrication to reduce cycle time and save raw material. Methods: Computer simulations are used to analyze the maximum stress in the rotary cutter after designing a variety of cutter shapes. Taguchi method is used to identify the robust condition of the cutter. In $L_{18}$ orthogonal array, the control factors such as knife width, twisted angle, number of knives, diameter, knife depth and supported angle are considered and noise factors like assembly tolerance and amount of antifriction are allocated. Results: It is found that the most important factors to reduce maximum stress in the cutter are supported angle and diameter. Using Tacuchi's results, we can reduce 70% cycle time and 9% raw material compared to the traditional method using cutting die. Conclusion: When designing the rotary cutter, the best conditions are the diameter at its maximum allowable value and supported angle in the boundary of machine inner space.

The prediction of final mass and optimized process conditions of injection molded products using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) were demonstrated. The ANN was modeled with 10 input parameters and one output parameter (mass). The input parameters, i.e.; melt temperature, mold temperature, injection speed, packing pressure, packing time, cooling time, back pressure, plastification speed, V/P switchover, and suck back were selected. To generate training data for the ANN model, 77 experiments based on the combination of orthogonal sampling and random sampling were performed. The collected training data were normalized to eliminate scale differences between factors to improve the prediction performance of the ANN model. Grid search and random search method were used to find the optimized hyper-parameter of the ANN model. After the training of ANN model, optimized process conditions that satisfied the target mass of 41.14 g were predicted. The predicted process conditions were verified through actual injection molding experiments. Through the verification, it was found that the average deviation in the optimized conditions was 0.15±0.07 g. This value confirms that our proposed procedure can successfully predict the optimized process conditions for the target mass of injection molded products.

From the related engineering principles, analytical solutions for horizontal crack initiation and propagation on a coal panel floor-underlying strata interface due to coal panel excavation are derived in this paper. Two important concepts, namely the critical panel width of horizontal crack initiation on the panel floor-underlying strata interface and the critical panel width of vertical fracture (crack) initiation in the panel floor, have been presented. The resulting analytical solution indicates that: (1) the first criterion can be used to express the condition under which horizontal plane cracks (on the panel floor-underlying strata interface or in the panel floor because of delamination) due to the mining induced vertical stress will initiate and propagate; (2) the second criterion can be used to express the condition under which vertical plane cracks (in the panel floor) due to the mining induced horizontal stress will initiate and propagate; (3) this orthogonal set of horizontal and vertical plane cracks, once formed, will provide the necessary weak network for the flow of gas to inrush into the panel. Two characteristic equations are given to quantitatively estimate both the critical panel width of vertical fracture initiation in the panel floor and the critical panel width of horizontal crack initiation on the interface between the panel floor and its underlying strata. The significance of this study is to provide not only some theoretical bases for understanding the fundamental mechanism of a longwall floor gas inrush problem but also a benchmark solution for verifying any numerical methods that are used to deal with this kind of gas inrush problem.

An analysis of the throughput and stability region of random access systems is currently of interest in research and industry. This study evaluated the performance of a multiuser random access channel with a retransmission gain. The channel was composed of a media access control (MAC) determined by the transmission probabilities and a multiuser communication channel characterized by the packet reception probabilities as functions of the number of packet transmissions and the collision status. The analysis began with an illustrative two-user channel, and was extended to a general multiuser channel. For the two-user channel, a sufficient condition was derived, under which the maximum throughput was achieved with a control-free MAC. For the channel with retransmission gain, the maximum steady throughput was obtained in a closed form. The condition under which the random access channel can acquire retransmission gain was also obtained. The stability region of the general random access channel was derived. These results include those of the well-known orthogonal channel, collision channel and slotted Aloha channel with packet reception as a special instance. The analytical and numerical results showed that exploiting the retransmission gain can increase the throughput significantly and expand the stability region of the random access channel. The analytical results predicted the performance in the simulations quite well.

A technique based on the finite element method (FEM) is used in the simulation of metal cutting process. This offers the advantages of the prediction of the cutting force, the stresses, the temperature, the tool wear, and optimization of the cutting condition, the tool shape and the residual stress of the surface. However, the accuracy and reliability of prediction depend on the flow stress of the workpiece. There are various models which describe the relationship between the flow stress and the strain. The Johnson-Cook model is a well-known material model capable of doing this. Low-alloy steel is developed for a dry storage container for used nuclear fuel. Related to this, a process analysis of the plastic machining capability is necessary. For a plastic processing analysis of machining or forging, there are five parameters that must be input into the Johnson-Cook model in this paper. These are (1) the determination of the strain-hardening modulus and the strain hardening exponent through a room-temperature tensile test, (2) the determination of the thermal softening exponent through a high-temperature tensile test, (3) the determination of the cutting forces through an orthogonal cutting test at various cutting speeds, (4) the determination of the strain-rate hardening modulus comparing the orthogonal cutting test results with FEM results. (5) Finally, to validate the Johnson-Cook material parameters, a comparison of the room-temperature tensile test result with a quasi-static simulation using LS-Dyna is necessary.

In this paper, we study the coexistence of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based systems beyond 3G (B3G) and point-to-point (P-P) fixed service (FS) microwave systems. The advanced general analytical model derived via a power spectral density (PSD) analysis proposed in this paper has two advantages in comparison with the conventional minimum coupling loss (MCL) method. First, the interfering signal power that appears in the band of a victim system can be easily assessed without a spectrum emission mask. Second, when transmit power is not allocated to some subcarriers overlapping the band of the victim system in order to mitigate B3G OFDM-based systems interference with other systems, the general analytical model can successfully assess the interference from the B3G systems into FS systems, whereas the MCL method incorporating the spectrum emission mask cannot be applied in the presence of the same interference condition. The proposed model can be derived in a closed form and is simply implemented with the help of simulation, and thus the solution can be obtained in significantly reduced time. Through application of the proposed model, coexistence results are analyzed in a co-channel and adjacent channel with respect to guard band and minimum separation distance.

높은 PAPR(Peak-to-Average Power Ratio)은 HPA(High Power Amplifier) 비선형성에 의해 시스템의 성능을 열화 시키고, 스펙트럼의 OOB(Out-of-Band) 전력을 향상시키는 문제의 원인이 된다. 5세대 이동통신 시스템을 위한 후보변조기술로 UFMC(Universal Filtered Multi-Carrier) 및 FBMC(Filter Bank Multi-Carrier) 시스템이 있다. 본 논문에서는 PAPR 저감 기법으로 잘 알려진 DFT-s(Discrete Fourier Transform Spreading) 기법을 각 시스템에 적용하고, 비선형 HPA 환경에서 각각의 성능에 대하여 비교분석하였다. 우선, 본 논문에서는 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing), UFMC, FBMC 시스템에 대해서 설명을 하며, 각 시스템에 DFT spreading 기법을 적용한 DFT-s-OFDM, DFT-s-UFMC, DFT-s-FBMC 시스템에 대해 설명한다. 본 논문에서는 비선형 모델로 Saleh 모델을 사용하였으며, 다양한 강도의 HPA 비선형성을 고려하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, OFDM 및 UFMC 시스템의 경우 PAPR을 효과적으로 저감시킬 수 있으며, FBMC의 경우 PAPR 저감은 이루어지나 그 효과가 크지 않음을 확인하였다.

시간 선택 페이딩 채널 환경에서 STBC(Space Time Block Code)를 사용하는 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 시스템의 성능은 시간에 따라 심볼이 변하지 않을 경우, 두 심볼이 서로 간섭이 생기지 않기 때문에 다이버시티 이득을 얻는다. 그러나 시간에 따라 심볼이 변하게 되면, 두 심볼이 서로 간섭을 주기 때문에 MRRC(Maximal Ratio Receiver Combining)에 해당되는 다이버시티 이득이 생기지 않는다. 두 심볼이 서로 간섭을 줄 경우에도 성능 열화가 되지 않도록 성능 개선이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 시간 선택 페이딩 채널 환경에서 STBC를 사용하는 OFDM 시스템의 성능 개선을 위해 간섭 제거기를 적용하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 도플러 주파수가 100 Hz의 경우에 10-3 BER(Bit Error Rate)에서 Eb/No가 6dB 이상 성능 개선이 되고, 500 Hz의 경우에 같은 BER에서 Eb/No가 20dB 이상 성능 개선이 됨을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 보염기가 장착된 덕트형 연소기에 음향 가진을 주었을 때 화염의 날림 현상을 이해하기 위한 실험을 수행하였다. 화염 구조를 관측하기 위한 촬영기법으로는 $OH^*$ 자발광이 적용되었고 POD (Proper Orthogonal Decomposition) 알고리즘을 이용하여 이미지를 분석하였다. 연료는 메탄이 주 성분인 도시가스를 사용했으며 당량비를 낮춤으로써 화염 날림이 발생하도록 하였다. 공기 공급 유량, 가진 주파수 및 음압에 변화를 주며 실험을 하여 화염 날림이 발생하는 당량비를 측정하였다. 실험 조건에 따라 화염 날림 당량비 값이 크게 달랐으며 이러한 당량비 값에 변화를 주는 요인은 보염기 후류의 와류 주파수와 연소기 공진 효과의 영향으로 판단된다.
