In this paper, we report a non-explosive separation device for a small satellite which utilize a shape memory alloy actuator and spring clamp. In order to increase the preload, the proposed device employs spring clamp that can generate high toque when the shape memory alloy actuator makes the cylinder key unlatch a holding ball effectively. Owing to simple design of separation device configuration, we could obtain good repeatability(up to 30 times activation). Conclusively, we could develop a non-explosive separation device which can reliably activate within 1.2 sec under high preload(up to 300kgf).

본 논문은 원자력 발전소의 주요 제어계통 중에서 터빈 조속기 제어계통에 관련한 성능평가를 목적으로 한다. 터빈 조속기 계통은 고압의 유압계통으로 구성되어 있어 구동설비가 복잡하다. 복잡한 기계설비는 운전 중 많은 오동작에 의한 고장을 일으키고, 유지보수에 어려움이 있다. 이러한 복잡한 기계설비에 있어 운전원에 의한 기계성능 평가는 불리한 점이 많다. 예를 들어 서로 다른 시간에서 일어나는 같은 상황에 대해 다른 판단을 내릴 수 있다는 점이다. 터빈 조속기 계통의 기계설비에 있어서 터빈 밸브 유압공급 및 구동장치는 각 터빈벨브 자체에 부착되어 있어 터빈벨브를 동작시킨다. 터빈벨브들은 구동기 유압 서보실린더(Actuator Hydraulic Servo Cylinder)에 의해 열리고 압축된 스프링에 의해 닫힌다. 이러한 시스템을 진단하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 밸브의 내부 압력의 특징정보를 입력으로 하는 퍼지이론을 적용하여 터빈 밸브 구동설비의 성능을 판단하고자 한다. 퍼지이론에 적용하기위해 터빈 조속기 제어계통의 고압 터빈 조절 벨브와 고압 터빈 정지 밸브의 압력변화 데이터를 이용한다. 퍼지이론의 적용과정에서 퍼지 Rule은 실제 운전원이 압력변화 데이터에 대한 판단기준을 근거로 하여 정하기로 한다. 그리고 퍼지이론에 적용한 결과를 분석하고 실제 터빈 조속기 계통의 전문가가 판단 결과와 비교하였다.

In this study, the reference values for the internal forces of the rail supports caused by a wheel load, a unit vertical displacement, a unit end rotation in examination of the serviceability of concrete slab track bridge were obtained. In analysis, the analysis models of which the rail was continuously and discretely supported by elastic springs were used. The internal forces of the rail supports from the analysis were compared with the results provided in the DS 804 regulations and agreed with well. In addition, the effects of the space between the rail supports and the stiffness of fastener on the internal forces of the rail supports were investigated.

A constant hanger is a device for supporting pipes in plants. It supplies a constant force to a supporting pipe even if the pipe moves because of thermal expansion. In this paper, we propose a method for designing the contour of a cam for a constant hanger. It has been shown that the contour of a cam must satisfy the geometrical relation of the cam, the force balance equation for the load tube, the relation between the side spring compression and the cam rotation angle, and the moment balance equation for the cam. A calculation procedure to solve these equations simultaneously is proposed, and a constant hanger is designed successfully.

Morphing wing which has a configuration optimized to flight speed and condition is faced to a lot of barriers to be overcome such as actuator technique, structural mechanization technique, flexible skin material, control law, and so on. As the first step for developing a morphing wing with rapid response, we designed and fabricated the morphing airfoil using a SMA(shape memory alloy) wire actuator and torsional bias springs. The design concept of the morphing airfoil was verified through operation test. The measured results show that the flap deflects smoothly and fast.

he rolling contact behaviors between a smooth ball and a flat rough surface under dynamic load are intricately affected by many factors, such as the diameter of a ball, normal load and the roughness of a flat surface etc. Accordingly, the experimental study is done to find them on the base of elastic hysteresis loss as theoretical approach is very difficult. The experimental apparatus composed of damped-free vibration system is used. This paper investigates the damping characteristics on the rolling contact area through rolling friction force and logarithmic decrement versus displacement obtained in accordance with the variations of those factors, and presents a new experimental method to find out contact width using the relations of logarithmic decrement and rolling friction force with displacement.

The suspension system of a subway vehicle is composed of $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ springs. The suspension system is the most important parameter in determining the vibration ride comfort. If the $1^{st}$ suspension spring is designed as a spring with strong stiffness to improve the running stability at high speed, it causes vehicle vibrations. In this paper, by testing and analyzing changes of the characteristics of Chevron springs, which have been the primary suspension springs used for about 20 years, we study how changing the characteristics affects vehicle acceleration and ride comfort. The lateral and longitudinal vibrational ride comfort index levels were lower than the vertical ones. Therefore, as increasing the stiffness of Chevron springs has the greatest effect on the vertical vibrational ride comfort index level, a countermeasure for vertical vibration reduction is needed when the stiffness increases owing to aging. Finally, maintenance guidelines, including the replacement time for the Chevron rubber, were proposed based on these findings.

A rotating shaft system subjected to seismic motions has been investigated for the various operating modes at start-up. During an earthquake excitation, the rotor may hit the stator of machines due to the excessive deformation of shaft, and thus the response of rotating shaft system of which foundation is supported by the vibration isolation devices has been simulated. In order to examine the transient response of the rotating shaft system at the start-up to both the various operating conditions and the seismic excitation simultaneously, nonlinear equations of motion are derived and solved numerically using Runge-Kutta method. The response of the rotating shaft system is calculated according to the operating modes as recommended by the machine and the system parameters such as the spring stiffness of isolation devices.

A new explosive bellows, which has a diameter of 8.0 mm and a length of 25.4 mm, was developed for a warhead fuze. The new explosive bellows delivers a thrust of 4.5 kgf over a stroke of 25.4 mm. A new gas generator containing BP/MTV ignition charge was also developed and the output test equipment, which measures the length of spring compressed by the function of explosive bellows, was also devised. In order to find out that the new explosive bellows meets the design requirements, the sensitivity tests and output tests were conducted. The test results show that the new explosive bellows meets the requirements and can be applicable to a warhead fuze.
