Gears have been used as primary machine elements that comprise a power transmission system in many mechanical engineering fields. This paper presents research on the optimization of gear geometries. Drive unit consists of many spur gears in inner structure, and efficient alignment will be needed for fine performance of the unit. If mesh misalignments occur, load distribution would be unbalance and concentrated in one side. It is directly connected many problems such as banding deformation to shaft, gear and housing. As much as deformation occur these machine element’s duty cycle will be decreased. Moreover due to unbalanced load distribution, noise and transmission error cause serious defect on gear performance. In order to solve this matter, it is necessary to modify tooth profile for balanced load distribution. There are two different solutions. One is micro-geometry optimization and the other is macro-geometry optimization. In this paper we choose the first one because it just takes minimum gear modification but more effective. To implement this, the latest simulation technology will be used and it allows not only the defection of gear mesh misalignments but also how to modify gear profile and lead slope. Before make prototype gear production, it provides more helpful information.

For 3D printing of high-strength polymers, such as PC (Polycarbonate) and PEI (Polyetheimide), the temperature of the nozzle should exceed the melting temperature of the high-strength materials. At the same time, the temperature of the transfer part, composed of the shaft extruder and the Teflon hose, should be cooled below the glass transition temperature and below the limit temperature of the transfer part. In this study, we analyzed the effect of the flow rate of the cooling fan when the extruder nozzle is heated to 300oC. We compare the natural convection environment, in which the cooling fan is not operated, and the forced convection condition, in which the cooling fan is operated, and analyze the effect on the cooling fan flow rate. The simulation considered the heat transfer in the air and the nozzle, as well as the flow characteristics of the air.

Rolled and extruded aluminum (Al) products have been widely used in heat exchanging systems using the boiling heat transfer (BHT) mechanism. The BHT coefficient can be increased on a rough surface due to the activation of the nucleation sites. In this study, the BHT characteristic of an Al plate with directional surface roughness (bare Al plate), which was generated in rolling or extrusion process, was measured and compared with the polished Al plates with non-directional surface roughness. The BHT coefficient of polished Al plate was increased with increasing surface roughness, saturated at ~300 nm (Sa). Although the surface roughness of the bare Al plate was 380-430 nm (Sa), the BHT coefficient of bare Al plates were lower than the polished Al plates with similar surface roughness. To examine the lower BHT coefficient of bare Al plate, the directional surface roughness was characterized by vertical and horizontal surface roughness values to the production direction, and we experimentally concluded the lower surface roughness value (horizontal surface roughness) was the dominant factor for the BHT characteristic of a rolled or extruded Al plate with directional surface roughness.

Finite element analyses were carried out to investigate the effect of ultrasonic vibration on drawing force in large diameter tube drawing. Ultrasonic vibration was imposed to a drawing die using ultrasonic vibration horns. The horn was designed to have desired amplification ratio and natural frequency using a wave equation. The drawing forces obtained with and without ultrasonic vibration were compared. The effect of vibration amplitude and phase delay of two horns located in opposite side on drawing force was investigated. Results showed that the drawing force could be reduced about 11% by using ultrasonic vibration of 20 μm amplitude and that the phase shift of two opposite horns had a great effect on the drawing force.
This paper proposes a novel method for evaluating the performance of control modalities related to driving a wheel loader, according to the framework of Fitts’ law and the steering law. Fitts’ law is an empirical model for the evaluation of human performance. This model is widely used in human factors studies. The steering law is an extension of Fitts’ law, and this law is used especially for evaluating driving performance. To evaluate a driver’s performance, we carried out driving simulations of V-Shaped driving tasks based on ISO 5010 steering requirements. The simulation model of the Doosan DL400 class wheel loader was developed using an Open Dynamics Engine (ODE), and the steering performance of the model was tested with a human subject by using a driving simulator. The steering performance was analyzed with three different parameters: the maximum velocity, the steering ratio, and the friction coefficient. The simulation results show that the steering performance was consistent with both Fitts’ law and the steering law. The completion time was corrected linearly with an index of difficulty, with r2 being between 0.95 and 0.99. These results suggest that the proposed method is feasible for providing a quantitative tool that can be used to design the control modalities of wheel loaders.

In this paper, we propose a noble line-recognition algorithm of driving parking for intelligent vehicles by using images obtained from a bird’s eye view system. To achieve safe driving and parking of unmanned vehicles, we need to obtain noiseless and effective images around vehicles. In addition, fast image processing is a fundamental requirement for the real time recognition of lanes and obstacles to ensure safety. In fact, the number of sensors equipped with conventional unmanned vehicles is reluctant to their commercialization. To solve this problem, we propose a noble method to detect straight lines and turning curves in the images obtained from a bird’s eye view system. For conventional vehicles equipped with this bird’s eye view system, straight lines and turning curves are detected by using a Hough and trigonometric function. Since parking lines have the form of a rectangle or parallelogram, detection of their vertexs makes it possible to determinate parking areas. In the case of a parking space without parking lines, the parking space is detected by using a stereo algorithm after calculating the area for parking. The experimental results using the proposed algorithm show that, without additional sensors, the lines and the surrounding environment are detected for unmanned driving and auto-parking.
In general, it is noted that the time domain technique becomes difficult to predict with the use of the accurate fatigue life, due to the lack of dynamic information of the structure. When the multi-axial stress is generated by the random vibration excitation in the mechanical structure, the fatigue analysis should have performed in the frequency domain as based on the multi-axial PSDs due to the problems presented above. Notably, Premont proposed a method to calculate the equivalent stress using PSDs in the frequency domain. In calculating the equivalent stress PSD, the phase difference between the multi-axial stress components was not considered at that time. This study propose a frequency domain fatigue analysis technique which can calculate the equivalent stress from the multi-axial PSD, as it works considering the phase difference that can appear in the real vibration excited structure. To verify this method, the conventional time-domain method as similar to a multi-axial rainflow method, is compared with the proposed frequency domain method in a simple simulation model. The multi-axial PSD and finally the von Mises stress model is reviewed, according to whether the phase difference between the multi-axial stress components is considered or not is analyzed.

While designing an armored vehicle platform, survivability is the most important capability and so protection design should be performed. In particular, mine protection design should be preferentially considered in a way that can reduce mass casualties. In this study, a simplified model, the main design parameters and their levels were defined, and then mine blast simulations were performed to obtain an effective protection design procedure. Before performing the main simulation, an experiment and simulation for a simple armor plate were performed and compared in order to certify the reliability of the numerical model. Afterwards, simulation cases, which were based on the reasonable numerical model, were defined by the DOE (Design of Experiment). An evaluation of the simulation results was carried out through both the contour and in a statistical manner, via a main effect analysis and ANOVA (Analysis of Variance). Finally, the impact characteristics of a protection parameters under the mine blast were estimated.

The soot blowing performance for a wall blower, according to the entering distance of a nozzle from the boiler wall, is evaluated according to a liquid droplet impingement erosion model. This erosion model incorporated the computational fluid dynamics of a jet steam of nozzle, and it uses the pressure and velocity of a jet steam at the furnace wall for several entering distances of the nozzle. A relative erosion rate dependent on the velocity of the jet steam is also introduced. Several cases are compared, as determined according to the entering distance and the number of nozzles. The shaded erosion region, according to the entering distance of the nozzle and the co-injected region, have also been schematized. Specifically, when the entering distance of the nozzle is large, the maximum relative erosion rate is small. However, the soot blowing area is uniformly large, as compared with the case of a small entering distance. This shows that the maximum relative erosion rate is high, but the soot blowing region is small and the shaded regions occur.
Various types of 5-axis machine tools have been developed. In the case of a machine tool composed from linear motion, the kinematic equation can be obtained easily and intuitively. However, machine tools with more than four axes, including rotating axes, have generally performed kinematic and dynamic performance analyses using mathematical methods. In this paper, the kinematic equations of various types of machine tools are obtained, based on the Homogeneous Transformation Matrix method. The loop stiffness was then calculated as a mathematical model. A mathematical model of loop stiffness was verified by using a method to calculate the loop stiffness of a commercial program. The results of the mathematical model showed less than a 1% error with the commercial program, and this could show the validity of the mathematical model. Then, this model was applied to two types of machine tools. The minimum loop stiffness of both models is compared.

There are two well-known synthetic approaches for copper nanowires (CuNWs): ethylenediamine (EDA)-mediated synthesis and alkylamine-mediated synthesis. The alkylamine-mediated synthesis produces very high aspect ratio nanowires but requires an autoclave for high-pressure environments, and a long reaction time, which normally is above 12 hours. The EDA-mediated synthesis can be carried out under normal conditions and requires 30 min. The CuNWs produced by this method have an average aspect ratio lower than 1000 and are produced in a lower yield. In this paper, the researchers present a modified EDA-mediated synthesis to improve the yield and reduce the synthesis time. When NaOH and Cu(NO3)2 were replaced with KOH and CuCl2, respectively and the reaction temperature was kept at room temperature, the synthesis time was shortened to 15 min. Moreover, the aspect ratio of the as-synthesized Cu NWs increased to 650 and the synthesis yields raised from 17.73% to 80.16%.
Recently, the metal grid electrode drew attention as a flexible transparent conductive electrode for touch screen panels. In metal grid electrodes, various shapes of grid patterns were used to avoid the moiré phenomenon. In this study, we investigated the effects of the metal grid shapes - such as the honeycomb, diamond, and square - on the flexibility and durability of the metal grid film using an experimental and numerical analysis. The flexibility of the metal grid film was evaluated via the following: bending, cyclic bending fatigue and stretching tests; it was compared with the numerical stress analysis. In the bending test, the resistance of the honeycomb grid sample increased by 10% at a bending radius of 10 mm. On the other hand, the diamond grid showed almost no change in resistance up to a bending radius of 6 mm. When the substrate was stretched to 5%, many cracks appeared on the surface of the honeycomb pattern sample. On the other hand, no cracks were found in the diamond pattern sample. Therefore, the diamond pattern exhibited superior flexibility and durability to the honeycomb pattern. The numerical stress analysis also showed that the honeycomb pattern had the highest stress and the diamond pattern had the lowest stress during bending and stretching, which corresponded with the experimental results.
In this study, we developed a convenient method to achieve superoleophobic surfaces on zinc substrates by using anodization and self-assembled monolayer coating, and to facilitate the fabrication of superoleophobic surfaces having reentrant structures, even for lower surface tension liquids than 30 mN/m- including hexadecane (γ = 27.5 mN/m). The liquid repellency of the structured surface was validated through observable experimental results; contact angle measurement. The optimal anodizing condition was determined as a critical parameter in building the superoleophobicity. The re-entrant had nanowire/microball structures formed by anodization with a high voltage. Under an optimized morphology by re-entrant structures with fluorination treatment, the contact angle over 150o is achieved, even for hexadecane.
