A simple and cost-effective method for the electrostatic suspension of thin plates like silicon wafers is proposed which is based on a switched voltage control scheme. It operates according to a relay feedback control and deploys only a single high-voltage power supply that can deliver a dc voltage of positive and/or negative polarity. This method possesses the unique feature that no high-voltage amplifiers are needed which leads to a remarkable system simplification relative to conventional methods. It is shown that despite the inherent limit cycle property of the relay feedback based control, an excellent performance in vibration suppression is attained due to the presence of a relatively large squeeze film damping origination from the air between the electrodes and levitated object. Using this scheme, a 4-inch silicon wafer was levitated stably with airgap variation decreasing down to 1 $\mu\textrm{m}$ at an airgap of 100 $\mu\textrm{m}$

The objective of the study is to construct a sensor fusion system for tool-condition monitoring (TCM) that will lead to a more efficient and economical drill usage. Drill-wear monitoring has an important attribute in the automatic machining processes as it can help preventing the damage of tools and workpieces, and optimizing the drill usage. In this study, we present the architectures of a multi-layer feed-forward neural network with Levenberg-Marquardt training algorithm based on sensor fusion for the monitoring of drill-wear condition. The input features to the neural networks were extracted from AE, vibration and current signals using the wavelet packet transform (WPT) analysis. Training and testing were performed at a moderate range of cutting conditions in the dry drilling of steel plates. The results show good performance in drill- wear monitoring by the proposed method of sensor fusion and neural network analysis.

Ultrasonic metal welder is consisted of power supply, transducer, booster, and horn. Precise designing is required since each parts' shape, length and mass can affect driving frequency and vibration mode. This paper analyzed Cu sheet deposition characteristics using ultrasonic metal welder and tension tester. A horn suitable for 40,000Hz was attached to the ultrasonic metal welder in order to weld Cu plates. The Cu sheet welding was done with different amplitude, pressure, and welding time, and its maximum tension was measured with tension tester. Maximum tension of 153.87N was obtained when the pressure was 2.0bar, amplitude was 80%, and welding time was 0.30s. Therefore, excessive welding condition negatively influences maximum tension measurement result.

After manufacturing a structure, the assembly of structural components is often not as perfect as expected due to the immaturity of current engineering techniques. Thus the actual buckling load for an element is sometimes not consistent with that predicted in the design. For design considerations, it is necessary to establish an analytical method for determining the buckling load experimentally. In this paper, a dynamic method is described for determining the linear buckling loads for elastic, perfectly flat plates. The proposed method does not require the application of in-plane loads and is feasible for arbitrary types of boundary conditions. It requires only the vibrational excitation of the plate. The buckling load is determined from the measured natural frequencies and vibration mode shapes.

In order to evaluate the performance of three heuristic optimization algorithms, namely, simulated annealing (SA), genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) for optimal stacking sequence of laminated composite plates with respect to critical buckling load and non-dimensional natural frequencies, a multi-objective optimization procedure is developed using the weighted summation method. Classical lamination theory and first order shear deformation theory are employed for critical buckling load and natural frequency computations respectively. The analytical critical buckling load and finite element calculation schemes for natural frequencies are validated through the results obtained from literature. The comparative study takes into consideration solution and computational time parameters of the three algorithms in the statistical evaluation scheme. The results indicate that particle swarm optimization (PSO) considerably outperforms the remaining two methods for the special problem considered in the study.

평판의 일반적인 형태의 진동을 해석하기 위해서는, 외면진동뿐만이 아니라 내면진동을 해석하여야 한다. 평판 내면진동의 경우 탄성파인 종파와 전단파의 전파에 의한 영향으로 발생하며, 진동 변위, 진동 에너지, 진동 인텐시티 등의 특성들을 이해하기 위해서는 각 파동의 영향을 분리하여 낼 필요가 있다. 내면진동을 해석하기 위하여 진동 모드법을 사용할 수 있으나, 각 파동에 의한 영향을 분리하여 낼 수가 없다. 본 논문에서는 진동장을 탄성파들에 의한 영향의 합으로 나타냄으로써, 각 파동에 의한 진동 변위, 진동 에너지, 진동 인텐시티 둥의 영향들을 분리할 수 있는 해석 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 이러한 해석 방법을 이용하여 점가진력에 의하여 강제 진동하는 평판의 내면 진동장에 대한 수치 계산을 수행하였다. 결과로써 진동 변위, 진동 에너지, 진동 인텐시티 등을 이루는 탄성파들의 기여도와 특성들을 분석함으로써 본 해석기법의 유용성을 보였다.

For a large scale civil and architectural structures, mainly steel, concrete and aluminum have been used and weight and corrosion of materials became a major concern. Designing with composite materials is very much complicated. Simple classical theory may yield good results for selecting "initial" sections for preliminary design. D. H. Kim proposed to use the quasi-isotropic constants by Tsai for the preliminary design of the composite primary structures for the civil construction. Also he made simple equation using correction factor. In this paper, the simple formulas developed by D. H. Kim to obtain "exact" values of the natural frequencies of [ABBCAAB]r laminate are compared with Whitney's equations. Also natural frequencies of the plate with varying aspect ratios and reinforcing fiber orientations, are compared with natural frequencies of bean. This work can be a guideline to obtain data in many other cases.

When a strong electric field is applied between a sharply curved electrode and a blunt surface, the corona may result in a gas movement in the electrode gap which is directed toward the blunt surface. That is called the corona wind. It enhances heat and mass transfer between the surface and the surrounding gas. Moreover such enhancement causes no noise or vibration, which can be applied in complex, isolated geometries, and allows simple control of surface temperatures. This paper examines the relationship between the corona wind and the relative humidity. The facility consists of high voltage power supply thin tungsten wire, plate electrode, multimeter, microammeter and flow meter. Gas velocity is a linear function of voltage, relative humidity and is proportional to the square root of the current. The maximum velocities for the positive and negative corona discharge are 1.9 m/s (2.74 CMM/m), 1.5 m/s(2.15 CMM/m), respectively.

The capacitive type transducers measure the displacement of rotating shaft using the voltage difference which is formed between the sensor plates and rotor so that the measured signal is not affected by the magnetic field generated by the magnetic bearing. In this paper, the capacitive transducers are embedded inside of the magnetic bearing. In order to verify the support characteristics of the capacitance sensor-magnetic bearing system, we experimented and analyzed the magnetic bearing-rotating shaft system up to 12,000 rpm. The magnetic bearing system proposed in this paper, successfully supports the rotating shaft and we can remain the maximum displacement below $5 \mu m$ at 12,000 rpm.

Nine different types of the reinforced railroad roadbeds which . are located in between Suwon-Chunan station of Kyongbu line were constructed in order to increase the bearing capacity of railroad roadbed and to improve the ridability as a part of speed-up project of conventional railroad systems. Each three sections were composed of weathered granite soil, crushed stone and furnace slag(HMS25), and fully instrumented with earth pressure cells, settlement plates and geophones to monitor the behavior of roadbeds under actual train loads. Field measurement has continued since October 31, 2000 and presently with rather longer measurement interval. The measurement data such as settlement, earth pressure and vibration levels are currently under analysis process. In this paper, only cumulative measurement data of railroad roadbeds were introduced. In the near future, comprehensive measurement data and result of analysis will be presented and design technique for the reinforced railroad roadbed will be proposed as a final product of this study.
