In recent years, grinding techniques for precision machining of astainless steel used in shaft, screw parts and clear value have been improved by using superabrasive wheel and precision grinding machine. The completion of optimum dressing of superabrasive wheel makes possible the effective percision grinding of stainless steel.

Therefore, the optimum in-process electrolytic dressing is a good method to obtain the efficiency and mirror-like grinding of stainless steel(SUS304).

Thin prism distortion arises from imperfection in lens design and manufacturing as well as camera assembly. It is our purpose to develop the vision system for the pattern recognition and the automatic test of parts and to apply the line of manufacturing.

In systematic and orderly estimation of fatigue strength of the spot welded lap joints, because the influence of residual stress of fatigue crach initiation and growth is not negligible, there need to estimate fatigue strength considered residual stress at near spot weld part of the lap joints. Therefore, in this thesis, peformed stress distribution and residual stress analysis at near the spot weld part by F.E.M and X-ray diffraction method, and obtained the maximum principal stress considered residual stress at nugget edge by superposing residual stress at nugget edge by superposing their results.

The strengthening mechanism of short fiber or whisker reinforced metal matrix composites has been studied by a continuum mechanics treatment utilizing finite element analysis (FEM). To assess the tensile and compressive constitutive responses, a constraint-unconstraint comparative study based on stree-strain hysteresis loop has been performed. For analysis procedures, the aligned axisymmetric single fiber model and the stress grouping technique have been implemented to evaluate the domain-based field quantities. Results indicated that the development of significant triaxial stresses within the matrix both for the tensile and compressive loading, due to the constraint imposed by reinforcements, provides and important contribution to strengthening. It was also found that fiber stresses are not only sensitive to the fiber/fiber interaction effects but also substantially contribute to the composite strengthening both for the tensile and compressive loading.

In case of spot-welded joints, the fatigue cracks generally originate from the weld interfaces of the neighborhood nugget tips, and propagate toward the outer surfaces of the sheets. Generally, because fatigue crack was observed in nugget around, strain gage was attached at nugget zone. Accordingly, it was very difficult to detect the generation time of fatigue crack in spot-welded joints and to measure the propagation speed of fatigue crack. We developed the non-destructive method, according to which th fatigue crack propagation rate can be quantitatively estimated by utilizing information obtained from strain gages bonded on the electrode indentations of spot welds. The results measured by real crack were compared with the data which was measured by strain gauge method in fatigue testing. And so fatigue strength was evaluated by stress intensity factor. In this study behavior of fatigue crack propagation under repeated load were considered.

This research is a experimental study for the machining conditions of E. D. M. They were used Cu electrode and the various amplitude of current waves for the machining by E.D.M. By the analyse the characteristics of current, voltage, roughness of surface and over cut, the next results were obtained. E.D.M. machining time become to be more longer by the increasing the tensile stress. In case of NAK 55 as the composite resin, the machining time was more faster without the relationship for the tensile stress. And if it was more increased the amplitude of Ip, it has been more faster in the machining time and more poor in the surface roughness. But it was increased Ip with 5A, it has been increased 0.3 time in over cut. So, if we want to be the precision machining, the diameter of the electrode should be more smaller than the diameter of machined hole in workpiece with E.D.M.

Thermal deformation of machine origin of machine tools due to internal and external heat sources has been the most important problem to fabricate products with higher accuracy and performance. In order to solve this problem, GMDH models were constructed to estimate thermal deformation of machine origin for a vertical machining ceneter through measurement of temperature data of specific points on the machine tool. These models are nonlinear equations with high-order polynomials and implemented in a multilayered perceptron type network structure.

It was shown that the points of temperature measurement can be reduced without sacrificing the estimation accuracy of $\pm$5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. From the experimental result, it was confirmed that GMDH methodology was superior to least square models to estimate the thermal behavior of machine tools.

This paper pays attention to the gear impact mechanism and system design parameters to reduce the idle gear rattle with computer simulation.

Over the last few year, there has been a growing interest in quantitative representation of heat transfer phenomena in weld pools in order to relate the processing conditions to the quality of the weldment produced and to use this information for the optimisation and robotization of the welding process. Normally, a theoretical model offers a powerful alternative to check out the physical concepts of the welding process and to calculate the effects of varying any of parameters. To solve this problem, a transient 2D(two-dimensional) heat conduction were developed for determining bead geometry and temperature distribution for the GMA welding process. The equation was solved using a general thermofluid-mechanics computer program, PHOENICS code, which is based on the SIMPLE algorithm. The simulation results showed that the calculated bead geometry from the developed models reasonablely agree with the experiment results.

Elastic elements, at first, were extensively used in suspensions as vibration isolators at joints. Nowadays they are used to improve stability and handling. The design of these elements has become a very important matter since the loading condition of the mechanism gives a mew suspension geometry without any modification. This paper presents an analysis of forces and moments of joints with elastic elements in the McPherson suspension mechanism to evaluate accurately the elastic deformation using the displacement matrix method in conjunction with the equilibrium equations. First the suspension is modeled as a multi-loop spatial rigid-body guidance mechanism which has elastic elements at the hardpoints of the suspension.

Also the displacement matrices and constraint equations for links are appllied to determine the sensitivity of the suspension mechanism. Finally this approach may conduct a realistic design of suspension mechanisms with elastic elements to improve the performance of the automobile under various driving conditions.
