The main rotor control system is an important structural part of a helicopter that manages the thrust and control force of the helicopter. The main rotor control system consists of a swashplate assembly, scissor assembly, pitch rod assembly, guide, etc. The main rotor control system must endure various loads, such as the thrust and control force, and must meet the optimized fatigue safety life. The rotating swashplate is an important structure influenced by the pitch rod load and rotating scissor load. In this paper, the accuracy of a result about the rotating swashplate part of the main rotor control system is proven through comparison between fatigue test and FEM results. Based on this result, we estimate the lifetime and deduce the fatigue safe lifetime.

A great deal of difficulty is encountered in the thermo-mechanical analyses of nozzle assembly for solid propellant rocket motors. The main issue in this paper is the modeling of the boundary conditions and the connections between the various components-gaps, relative movements of the components, contacts, friction, etc. This paper evaluated the complex phenomena of nozzle assembly during burning time with co-simulation which include fluid, thermal surface reaction/ablation and structural analysis. The validity of this approach was verified by comparison of analysis results with measured strains.

A systematic approach to socket shape design of a concave piston assembly for a high pressure hydraulic pump of an excavator is presented in this paper. A design model is given and a methodology of socket shape design is proposed. An axisymmetric rigid-plastic finite element method is employed for predicting the approximate socket shape formed by a rotary forming process as well as for simulating the test process for separating the shoe from the piston assembly designed. It is verified that the predictions are in good agreement with the experiments. The approach is successfully applied to developing an optimal concave piston assembly.

Demand for the use of 3D CAD DMU systems over the Internet environment has been increased. However, transmission of commercial 3D kernels has delayed the communication effectiveness due to the kernel size. Light weight CAD geometric kernel design methodology is required for rapid transmission in the distributed environment. In this paper, an assembly data structure suitable for the top-down and bottom-up assembly models has been constructed. Part features are stored without a hierarchy so that they are created and saved in no particular order. In particular, this paper proposes a new assembly representation model, called multi-level assembly representation (MAR), for the PDM based assembly DMU system. Since the geometric kernel retains assembly hierarchy and topological information, it is applied to the web-viewer for the PDM based DMU system. Effectiveness of the proposed geometric kernel is confirmed through various case studies.

The safety and arming device(SAD), one of the components of the fuzes, shall provide safety that is consistent with handling, storage, transportation, use, and disposal. In this paper, we describes the design of the SAD which includes the solenoid assembly and the solenoid driving circuit to improve the safety of the fuzes. The solenoid assembly consists of a coil assembly, a restoring spring, and a core. The solenoid assembly is added in the SAD as an additional safety device. In case of the normal circumstances, the core of the solenoid assembly restrains the $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ safety devices of the SAD for those devices not to operate at all, so that the SAD can secure safety for storage, transportation, and use. In contrast, when the battery power is provided to the solenoid driving circuit just before the flight, the core confirms the power level and starts removing the restraint from the $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ safety devices of the SAD, and then the SAD is able to change its mode from safety mode to armed mode. After firing, once the SAD's operations complete, the turned-on arming switch stops providing the power to the solenoid assembly automatically. It can reduce the power consumption at solenoid assembly. Therefore, the proposed solenoid driving circuit for the solenoid assembly not only unlocks the restrained solenoid assembly from the safety devices, but also saves the power consumption during the flight.

Numerous fabrication techniques have been used to mimic cylindrical natural tissues, such as blood vessels, tendons, ligaments, and skeletal muscles. However, most processes have limitations in achieving the biomimetic properties of multilayered and porous architectures. In this study, to embrace both features, a novel self-assembly method was proposed using electrospun microfibrous sheets. A bilayer microfibrous structure, comprising two sheets with different internal stresses, was fabricated by electrospinning a polycaprolactone (PCL) sheet on a uniaxially stretched thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) sheet. Then, by removing the stretching tension, the sheet was rolled into a hollow cylindrical structure with a specific internal diameter. The internal diameter could be quantitatively controlled by adjusting the thickness of the PCL sheet against that of the TPU sheet. Through this self-assembly method, biomimetic cylindrical structures with multilayer and porous features can be manufactured in a stable and controllable manner. Therefore, the resulting structures may be applied to various tissue engineering scaffolds, especially vascular and connective tissues.

Hydraulic hose assemblies are used as piping components for construction machinery, automobile, aircraft, industrial machinery, machine tools, and machinery for ships. Then the reliability of hose assemblies is important because total hydraulic system, which used to deliver the fluid power ($P^*Q$) needed to flexibility in the piping system, is not operated if the hose assembly failed in the system. The data of the accelerated life test estimated through the shape parameter(${\beta}$) resulting of the Weibull distribution analysis. This study has tried to reduce the test time resulting from varying impulse pressure range and the flexing diameter. Accelerated life test model for the test results was adopted the GLL(generalized log linear) and the accelerated indexes are identified as 6.64 for the pressure and 4.46 for flexing radius. Also, it found that shape parameter is 6.19, scale parameter(${\eta}$) is $1.035{\times}108$, which were adopted the pressure 35 MPa and the flexing diameter R100 mm in the used condition.

제3차 경제개발 5개년 계획이 제4차 연도인 1975년의 우리나라 기계공업은 국제경기의 불투명 속에서도 시설의 확충과 혀내화를 적극 추진하여 양산 체제를 확립하였으며 국제경쟁력을 강화 하여 기계공업의 수출산업화의 전환점을 마련하고 기계공업의 자립도를 증대시켜서 우리나라 기계공업의 여명기를 마지한 해라고 평가된다. 특히 자동차공업은 조립생산체에서 제조생산체 제로 탈바꿈 하므로서 명실공히 세계에서 16번째로 자동차제조국으로 인정 받게 된 것은 우리 나라 기계공업계에 밝은 전망을 던져준 것으로 특기할만한 성과라 볼 수 있다. 그리고 우리나라 기계공업이 단기일에 가속도로 생장한 것은 방위산업의 견지에서 총력보안의 차원에서 기계공 업을 혁명적으로 모든 지원을 집중하여 육성하였기 때문이라고 풀이된다. 그러나 우리나라 기 계공업의 역사가 짧고 내적 외적인 취약점의 악순환이 아직도 되풀이 되고 저변구조가 좁고 약 하기 때문에 해결되지 않으면 안될 난문제가 산적하고 있다. 여기에서 다시한번 75년도 우리나라 기계공업의 발자취를 뒤돌아 보면서 문제점을 찾아내고 그 대책을 모색해 보기로 한다.
