This study deals with the characteristics of wire-cut EDM(Electrical Discharge Machining)process in aluminum alloys. Besides 2 series and 7 series of aluminum alloys for aerospace applications, porous aluminum is tested, which is used for sound absorbing matherial and interior and exterior material of building. Jinyoung JW-30 wire cutting machine was used in this experiment. Tap wate passed a filter and ionization was used as the discharging solution. An immerision method was applied as a cooling method because it separates chips effectively and machinability is good even with low value of electric current. The speed of fabrication was estimated by measuring the travel distance of the work piece and time spent for the movement. As pulse-on-time increased the fabrication speed decreased. On the other hand, as peak voltage of peak current increased the fabrication speed increased. In general 7075 aluminum alloy resulted in higher fabrication speed.

Development of a high speed feed drive system has been a major issue for the past few decades in machine tool industries. The reduction of tool change time as well as repid travel time can enhance the productivity. However,the high speed feed drive system generates more heat in nature,which leads to thermal expansion that has adverse effects on the accuracy of machined part. The paper divides the feed drive system into the ball screw and guide way. For each part, the thermal behvior model is separtately developed to estimate the position error of the respective feed drive system that is caused by the thermal expansion. The modified lumped capacitance method is used to analyze the linear position error of the ball screw. The thermal deformation of guide way parts affects the straightness and angular error as well as linear position error. Finite element method is used to estimate the thermal behavior of these guide way parts. The effectiveness of the proposed models are verified through the experiments using laser interferometer.

The pickup and delivery problem with time windows generally involves the construction of optimal routeswhich satisfy a set of transportation requests under pairing, precedence, time window, vehicle capacity, andavailability constraints. In this paper, we added some constraints to the problem and adopted an objectivefunction based on number of used vehicles, total travel distance and total schedule duration to consider morerealistic problems. A branch and price algohthm for the problem is proposed and an enumeration method is usedfor the subproblems. The algorithm was tested on randomly generated instances and computational results werereported.

The transitional characterisics of oscillations and rotational speeds from the starting to the stationary states in damped single degree of freedom systems acted upon the rotor unbalance forces are studied. Angular travel is assumed to vary with time. The theoretical analysis is obtained by using Laplace transform method. Integration involved in the theoretical results is carried out by the numerical analysis program of continuous-time linear systems to arbitrary inputs. It is evident that the transitional charcterixtics of a machine are affected remarkably by damping ratios, stationary angular velocity time and frequency ratios.

SPT-Uphole test is a seismic field test using receivers on ground surface and a SPT (Standard penetration test) source in depth. Even though this method is simple and economic, it makes hesitate to apply in real field that it is difficult to obtain reliable travel time information of shear wave because of the characteristics of SPT impact source. To overcome this shortcoming, in this paper, modified SPT-Uphole method using two component surface geophones was suggested. Numerical analysis was performed using finite element method for understanding the characteristics of surface motion induced by in-depth vertical source, and comparison study of the various methods which determine the travel time information in SPT-Uphole method was performed. In result, it is thought that the most reasonable method is using the first local maximum point of the root mean square value signals of vertical and horizontal component in time domain. Finally, modified SPT-Uphole method using two component surface geophones was performed at the site, and the applicability in field was verified by comparing wave velocity profiles determined by the SPT-Uphole method with the profiles determined by SASW method and SPT-N values.

Collection of invaluable real-time traffic data becomes available under ubiquitous transportation sensor networks (UTSN). Various research efforts have been made to utilize such useful data for deriving more accurate and reliable traffic information. This study presented a novel concept of decentralized traffic information and method to process traffic data which are obtained from inter-vehicle communications under the UTSN. In addition, an experimental evaluation to investigate the feasibility of the proposed method using probe vehicle data. Predictive travel times were estimated and evaluated for the feasibility investigation. Technical issues were derived and discussed to fully implement the proposed system. The outcomes of this study would be used as a guideline in designing better next-generation traffic information systems.

The Northeast China is an important site geologically and geophysically because of a huge volcano called Mt. Baekdu, which is one of the largest volcanoes in the world. Signs of eruption have been recently observed and people are keen to its behavior. We carried out relative travel time tomography to investigate the velocity structure between 100 ~ 600 km depth beneath Northeast China. We used teleseismic data during 2009 ~ 2011 recorded in NecessArray provided by IRIS (Incorporated Research Institute for Seismology). The relative observations were obtained by using the multi-channel cross-correlation method. Based on the tomographic results, we observed that the locations beneath which low-velocity zones are observed coincide with the locations of several volcanic regions in Northeast China. A low-velocity anomaly is revealed beneath Mt. Baekdu down to 600 km depth, which is thought to the main origin of the magma supply for Mt. Baekdu. Another low velocity anomaly is observed beneath east of the Datong volcano down to around 300 km depth, which is inferred to be related to an upwelling from deep mantle. We observed a low velocity anomaly beneath the Wudalianchi volcano down to around 200 km depth, which may imply that this volcano has been formed by an upwelling from the asthenosphere.

The purpose of this study is to Propose the time dependent K-least time path algorithm applicable to a real-time based operation strategy in multi-modal transportation network. For this purpose, we developed the extended method based on entire path deletion method which was used in the static K-least time path algorithm. This method was applied to time dependent K-least time path algorithm to find k least time paths in order based on both time dependant mode-link travel time and transfer cost In particular, this algorithm find the optimal solution, easily describing transfer behavior, such as walking and waiting for transfer by applying a link-based time dependent label. Finally, we examined the verification and application of the Proposed algorithm through case study.

This study aims to present a three dimensional finite element model to investigate the wave propagation in a concrete filled steel tubular column (CFSC) due to transient impact load. Both the concrete and steel are regarded as linear elastic material. The impact load is simulated by a semi sinusoidal impulse. Besides the CFSC models, a concrete column (CC) model is established for comparing under the same loading condition. The propagation characteristics of the transient waves in CFSC are analyzed in detail. The results show that at the intial stage of the wave propagation, the velocity waves in CFSC are almost the same as those in CC before they arrive at the steel tube. When the waves reach the column side, the velocity responses of CFSC are different from those of CC and the difference is more and more obvious as the waves travel down along the column shaft. The travel distance of the wave front in CFSC is farther than that in CC at the same time. For different wave speeds in steel and concrete material, the wave front in CFSC presents an arch shape, the apex of which locates at the center of the column. Differently, the wave front in CC presents a plane surface. Three dimensional effects on top of CFSC are obvious, therefore, the peak value and arrival time of incident wave crests have great difference at different locations in the radial direction. High-frequency waves on the waveforms are observed. The time difference between incident and reflected wave peaks decreases significantly with r/R when r/R < 0.6, however, it almost keeps constant when $r/R{\geq}0.6$. The time duration between incident and reflected waves calculated by 3D FEM is approximately equal to that calculated by 1D wave theory when r/R is about 2/3.

This paper introduces urban air mobility (UAM) and the definition and types of vertiports required for UAM operations. It also examines domestic policy trends related to UAM and identifies UAM routes in Seoul currently planned by the government. To do so, we reviewed prior research on vertiports, analyzed new regulations from the European Aviation Safety Agency, and studied domestic vertiport specifications and deployment plans for UAM operations based on the size of the S-A1 airframe being developed by Hyundai, and applied them to Samsung Station, the core area of the demonstration routes. Next, using the 'Travel Time Savings Ratio', a method for evaluating transportation economics, we compared and analyzed the time taken by passenger vehicles and the time saved by using UAMs to derive a highly economical demonstration route. As a result, the Samsung Station↔Cheongnyangri Station section was found to be the most efficient. These findings are expected to be utilized for adjusting the distribution of UAMs when operating the demonstration route in the future.
