This paper is a purpose to study and analyze the failure examples for timing belt, camshaft position sensor and ignition coil of LPG automotive engine. The first example, whe the service man install the front case bracket of engine, he excessively tightened up a 12mm bolt for being fixed of brackct. As a results, the bolt was separated from joint part so that it was put in between the crankshaft sprocket. Therefore the belt was broken off because of interference between timing belt and sprocket tooth. The second example, it verified the disharmony phenenomen of engine that the gap of the camshaft position sensor and camshaft senseing point assembled on cylinder head part was small more than iregular value so that the it was generated senseing damage phenomenon by pulse signal misconduct. The third example, it was found the engine disharmony phenomenon that the fire in the ignition coil was leaked by inner damage of Number 2 ignition coil.Therefore, the the manager of a car throughtly have to inspect not in order to arise the failure symptoms.

The damage and fracture of machine or structure are caused by the crack happened from the defect existed at the inside of material. The properties of crack propagation and growth characteristic must be considered because there are many cases at which these cracks are densely existed. Therefore, this study investigates the fracture property due to the position of crack and hole inside the standard compact tension (C. T.) specimen. When the concentrated load is applied eccentrically at the standard C. T. specimen, the fracture mechanical behavior due to the existence or non-existence and the position of hole near crack is investigated. As the result of analysis study, model 3 (in case of the distance of 2mm on the horizontal direction between the end part and hole as the specimen model existed with one hole near the crack) has the maximum deformation, stress and deformation energy of the most values among three models. As the distance between the crack and hole inside the specimen becomes nearer, the maximum stress becomes higher in cases of three models. Apart from the number of holes, it is seen that the maximum stress becomes higher near the crack when the hole exists near the crack inside the specimen. If the hole inside the machine or the mechanical structure is punctured by using the result of this study, it is thought that the occurred breakage or breakdown can be prevented by reducing the fracture stress happened at the specimen.

An independently driven electric corner module cannot be applied to an actual vehicle without some difficulty, because of vehicle safety problems in the case of malfunctions and degraded ride and handling performance owing to the increase in the unsprung mass. In this study, a simulator is developed to evaluate the vehicle driving performance in order to solve ride and handling problems. Component modeling of a small-sized electric vehicle with an independently driven electric corner module is performed using MATLAB/Simulink. The vehicle is modeled by using CarSim, which can be used to analyze the vehicle maneuvers with 27 DOFs. The control algorithm for the improvement of vehicle driving safety and ride and handling performance is validated by using the developed simulator.

Many persons and electronic devices are exposed to electromagnetic (EM) waves generated from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment, EM pulses (EMPs), and many other kinds of EM wave devices. Finger strips are used to provide shielding from these EM waves. Because of the high thermal conductivity of finger strips, they are used in the design of specialized doors that are installed in shielded rooms. In this study, we perform an accelerated life test using the load acceleration stress, which affects the main failure mode of finger strips. We predict the life of the finger strip under normal usage conditions based on the results of the accelerated life test. We compare the results with those predicted from the life test under normal usage conditions to evaluate the validity of accelerated life testing.

전북지역의 130여개 스마트온실 중에서 주요한 10여개의 주요 온실에 대한 온습도, 이산화탄소, 광센서 및 기타 센서의 사용실태에 대한 조사를 수해하였다(2016년 9월~12월). 온실의 선정은 온실의 종류(비닐/유리)와 복합제어기 종류(국산/외산)를 중심으로 조사하였다. 국내외 업체의 장단점, 스마트기기의 활용과 문제점, 클라우드 기반의 3세대 한국형 스마트온실의 적용기반에 대한 조사를 수행하였다. 융복합 제어기와 센서는 자체의 신뢰성 이외에 운용상의 알고리즘 차이에서 오는 문제로 인해 농가에서 측정결과에 대한 신뢰성이 낮고, 측정이 부정확하고 일일측정 데이터에 대한 활용이 어렵고, 설정 값을 사용자가 직접 계산하고 값들을 입력해주어야 한다는 단점에 대한 의견이 대부분이다. 외국 제품은 데이터 측정값의 활용이 용이하고 복합 환경 상황에 알맞게 자동 계산 시스템이 체계적으로 작동하여 제어에 반영되며 국내 업체 설정 값의 범위보다 세밀하게 설정이 가능하다는 장점이 있으나 설치비용이 국내대비 3~4배 높고 고장 시 A/S가 느린 편이며 영어로 구성된 복잡한 시스템이기 때문에 100% 활용하기 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 스마트기기 활용은 복합 환경제어를 하는 농가이면 국내 업체와 외국 업체 모두 활용하고 있으며 주로 스마트 폰으로 사용되고 전용 어플이 아닌 PC원격 제어 소프트웨어인 팀뷰어(Teamviewer)를 이용하여 복합제어기 PC를 직접 조작하여 사용한다. 클라우드 활용으로는 복합환경제어기 회사에서 작물별 제어 방법과 데이터 정보를 제공하지 않는 점에 대한 농가의 불편함이 많은 편으로 작물별 농사방법이 많고 지역별 농사방법이 다르기 때문에 조사한 전북지역의 농가 10곳 모두 클라우드를 사용하지 않는 것으로 조사되었다. 다양한 온실 및 생육환경에 따른 표준화된 운영의 문제점을 개선하여 스마트팜에서 중요한 역할을 수행하는 복합센서의 표준시험방법과 절차를 개발하여 관련산업의 발전에 응용할 필요성이 있으며 단순한 하드웨어의 표준화 또는 개선방향보다는 농가의경험과 누적된 토양,작물 등의 재배 생육정보를 이용한 작물생육모델과 온실모델의 일치를 통해 센서-생육환경예측-검증방법의 포준화가 필요한 것으로 사료된다.

This study was analyed V-bending in order to analyze the spring-back phenomenon in the roll forming process. The material of forming sheet used in the roll forming process is high tension steel and the product name of sheet material is POSTEN 60. The most important variable is the number of roll passes (3-Pass, 4-Pass, 5-Pass, 6-Pass and 10-Pass) and other roll forming process variables were fixed. To determine the characteristics of the tension and compression, the forming sheet was analyzed by dividing the layer (Upper and Bottom) in the thickness direction from the center line. The results of FEM simulation analysis was derived to von-mises stress equivalent strain, and the spring-back value was calculated according to the final forming shape. The more number of the roll pass, von-mises stress and equivalent strain value of forming sheet were lowed. Also, spring-back values tended to decrease. The results of this study can be utilized for prediction and trend of spring-back value in the roll forming process applied to high tension steel sheet. So, development time and cost of the roll forming process is expected to be reduced.

This paper proposes a simulation method of the internal winding fault to calculate the short-circuit current, electromagnetic force and vibration mode in a distribution power transformer by using FEM program(FLUX2D) and analytic algorithm. A usage of the Transfer matrix method is also presented for the vibration mode analysis of the cable-type winding of power transformer. The equations of the winding are approximated by the series expansions of the distributed mass mode and Timoshenko's beam theory. The simulation examples are provided for the cable type winding of the transformer(22.9[kV]/220[V], 1,000[kVA]) to verify the method. The proposed Transfer Matrix Method is also verified by the ANSYS program for the vibration mode of the transformer winding. The method presented may serve as one of the useful tools in the electromagnetic force and vibration analysis of the transformer winding under the short circuit condition.

The formal specification methods with probability have been demanded in the area of fault real-time systems, in order to specify the uncertainty that the systems can encounter during their execution due to various environmental factors. This paper presents a new formal method with probability. namely Probabilistic Abstract Timed Machine (PATM), in order to analyze and predict system's behavior in dynamical environmental changes, This method classifies the factors into two classes: the variable and the constant. The analysis of system's behavior is performed on the probabilistic reachability graph generated from the ATM specification for the system. The analysis can predict any possibility that the behavior may not satisfy some safety requirements of the system, indicate which variable factors cause such satisfaction, and further recover from this unsatisfying fault state by fixing the variable factors. Consequently the reliability to the fault real-time systems can be improved.

An active steering bogie has been theoretically proved to improve both stability and steering performance remarkably. However, It has not been commercialized yet even though many researchers have been trying to develop it because some technical difficulties still exist such as information acquisition fer active control, increasing mechanical components, high energy consumption, fail-safe problem and so on. To solve those problems, an advanced active steering mechanism is proposed in this paper. With this mechanism, required control force is small enough to use direct drives. Therefore, the number of additional mechanical components can be minimized since mechanical transducers like gears are not necessary. Fail-safe function can be also inserted easily. In this paper, concept design of the proposed active steering bogie is introduced and the possibility is verified through computer simulation using linear dynamic model.
