When micro holes are machined by EDM, machining characteristics of machined holes are changed according to the machining conditions. Typical machining conditions are the kind of dielectric fluids, capacitance and ultrasonic vibrations. They influence electrode wear, machining time, radial clearance and taper angle. In this paper, machined holes whose depths are 300, 500, $1000\;{\mu}m$ are observed for each machining conditions. Using deionized water as a dielectric fluid makes electrode wear small, machining time short, radial clearance large and taper angle small. High capacitance makes electrode wear high. Ultrasonic vibrations make electrode wear large, machining time short, radial clearance small and taper angle small. From the results of experiments, the optimal machining conditions were obtained to machine highly qualified micro holes.

Fourteen calibration ehamber tests were performed using one cylindrical and two tapered piles with different taper angles to investigate the changes of the bearing capacity of tapered piles with soil state and taper angle of piles. The results of calibration chamber tests show that the ultimate base resistance of tapered piles increases with increasing mean stress and relative density of soil. It also increases with increasing taper angle for medium sand, but with decreasing taper angle for dense sand. The ultimate shaft resistance of tapered piles increases as vertical and horizontal stresses, relative density and taper angle increase. Based on the results of model pile load tests, a new design method with shape factors for estimation of the bearing capacity of tapered piles is proposed considering the effect of soil state and taper angle on bearing capacity of tapered piles. In order to check the accuracy of predictions calculated using the new method, middle-scale field pile load tests were also conducted on cylindrical and tapered drilled shafts in clayey sand. Comparison of calculated values with measured ones shows that the new design method produces satisfactory predictions tor tapered piles.

This paper presents the aerodynamic performances of horizontal axis wind turbines with non-twisted but taperd blades. Five configurations of blades, namely, one straight blade and four tapered blades with taper ratio of ranging from 0.1 to 0.7 have been simulated. The aerodynamic performances of the wind turbines have been determined over blade incidence angle of ranging from $2^{\circ}$ to $6^{\circ}$ and keeping same solidity and radius of them. The results are presented comparing straight blade from four tapered blades for maximum power coefficient and tip looses against variation of taper ratio. It also shows that the wind turbine with taper ratio of 0.5 has the highest maximum power coefficient than others. And wind turbines with taper ratio below 0.2 have lower values of maximum power coefficients than straight one. The tip loss of straight blade is the largest and reduces Slightly with the decrementation of taper ratio.

On this study, magnetic force versus input currents is analyzed by modeling taper plunger type proportional electromagnet of ISC valve using the permernce method. And, the reliabiliy of simulation is verified by comparing the experimental values with the calaulate magnetic force. From the result of this study, it is found that the taper angles at plunger and core, the length of air gap between plunger and yoke are the prumary factors in designing taper plunget type proportional electromagnet. Magnetic force is decreased as a whole according to increasing the air gap between pluger and yoke, and vise versa. But, the magnetic force is not proportional to current, when the air gap is very small. In case of decreasing the taper angle of pluger, the stroke range of plunger where magnetic force is proportional to current becomes farther from core.

Tapered etching of polysilicon films has been achieved by implanting phosphorus ions into the polysilicon film and using plasma etch in either $CF_4-O_2\;or\;SF_6$. A two-step plasma etching method is also proposed to control the taper angle of the etched edge without changing the implantion conditions. The taper angle is determined by the ratio of the etch rate of the undamaged region to that of the damaged top region of the polysilicon layer. The ratio is found to be dependent on the implantion dose, the implantion energy and the anisotropy of etching. The minimum angle in our experiments is about $10^{\circ}$. When the two-step etching method is employed, the taper angles can be controlled from the minimum angle up to about $55^{\circ}$.

Recently, in industry field, many researchers are looking for ways to reduce the use of lubricant because of environmental and economical reasons. MQL lubrication is one of many lubrication technologies. The aim of this study is to evaluate the machinability considering lubrication methods and taper angles of workpieces for turning of SCM440. Workpieces of two shapes such as workpiece with and without taper angle are used. And two lubrication methods such as MQL and Wet have been considered. And cutting force and surface roughness are used as characteristic values. Cutting speed, feed rate, injection angle and distance are used as design parameters. The characteristic values were statistically analyzed by Taguchi method. From the results, main effects plot and importance of each parameter according to conditions are analyzed. Finally, this study has been suggested the optimum machining conditions according to the lubrication methods, machining conditions and shape of workpiece.

Applying a general Galerkin FE lubrication analysis method to spiral groove dry gas seals, this study intends to analyze in detail the effects of groove design parameters, such as a spiral angle, groove width ratio, groove radius ratio, groove depth ratio, and groove taper ratio, on the lubrication performances of an opening force, leakage, axial stiffness and damping, and angular stiffness and damping at low and high rotating speeds: 3,600 and 15,000 nm. Results show that, for the primary design consideration performances such as the opening force and axial and angular stiffnesses, a spiral angle of $25^{\circ}$, a groove width ratio of 0.46, a groove radius ratio of 1.1, a groove depth ratio of 1.0, and a groove taper ratio of 0.0 are preferred. Where the recommended relatively low values of groove depth and taper ratios are to keep the axial and angular dampings positive or higher than 0 particularly at the high rotating speed.

This paper presents a method to predict the transient characteristic of the air lubricated slider head in a hard disk drive by using optimization technique. The time dependent modified Reynolds equation based on the molecular slip flow approximation equations was used to describe the fluid flow within the air bearing and the implicit finite difference scheme is applied to calculate the pressure distribution under the slider head. The exhaustive search combined with the Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno method were employed to obtain optimum design variables which are taper angle, rail width and taper length in order to keep the forces and moments acting on the slider head in dynamic equilibrium. The results show that the optimal head slider of the magnetic head has good stability characteristic that can reach the steady state within 0.5 microsecond.

The vibrations problem of thin orthotropic skew plates of linearly varying thickness is analyzed using the small deflection theory of plates. Using dimensionless oblique coordinates, the deflection surface can be expressed as a polyonmial series satisfying the boundary conditions. For orthotropic plates which is clamped on all the four edges, numerical results for the first two natural frequencies are presented for various combinations of aspect ratio, skew angle and taper parameter. The properties of material used are one directional glass fibre reinforced plastic GFRP. The results obtained may be summarised as follows: 1. In case of the first mode vibration of plates with increase in the skew angle, the natural frequencies of plates decrease. 2. As the aspect ratio decrease, the natural frequencies of plates decrease. 3. For the identical skew angle, natural frequencies of plates increase with the taper parameter of thickness.
