According to the needs of change to hybrid, fuel cell and electric vehicle, and to the increasing demand for safety and eco-friendliness, the necessity of Electro-Mechanical Brake(EMB) is being increased. But, one of the most important problems for realizing EMB to the practical use is that the required motor power for braking is too high. So the high braking efficient EMB is required. In recent years, the Electronic Wedge Brake(EWB) is noticeable for the high braking efficiency. In this research, we examine the improvable matter of the recent published EWB, and we propose the improved mechanism and the cost effective control method using this mechanism. And we test these feasibility by experiment and discuss these meaning and effect.

The behavior of the correction factor associated with the collimator opening(head-scatter factor) were investigated for the 6MV x-ray beams of medical linear accelerator. The primary photon fluence was measured in air quasi-small fied size. Consideration in this study was given to the effect of head scatter factor with quasi-small fied size, the upper and lower collimator jaw scatter collection factors of quasi-small field (4-10cm) were measured with ion chamber. In general, the wedge factors which are used clinical practics are ignored of dependency on field sizes and depth. In wedge factors for each wedge filter were measured at various depth by using 6MV X-ray. In this present we inverstigated systematically the depth and field sizes dependency to determine the absorbed dose more accurately. Head scatter(upper-lower collimator jaw)appears to be (1) a small effect, less than 5％ over the range of clinical field sizes (2) generated primarily at the flattening filter and therefored influenced most by the upper collimator setting.

회전기기의 운전 상태에서 on-line 부분 방전시험은 고정자 권선의 절연상태를 검사, 평가 할 수 있는 중요한 수단으로서 이러한 부분방전시험을 통하여 회전기기 시스템의 사고예방을 위한 진단을 할 수 있다. 기존의 비접촉식 센서인 SSC는 부분방전 측정을 위하여 권선의 웨지 아래에 설치하는 방식으로 개발되어 [1], 설치가 불편하고 Global VPI 방식으로 제작된 소형 회전기에는 설치할 수 없는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 소형 회전기에 사용가능한 저, 고주파용 부분방전 센서를 제안하였다. 웨지 위에 설치 가능한 SSC 형태의 마이크로스트립 센서 및 전송선로 이론을 이용한 2선 평행 전송선로 센서는 값이 싸고 소형 회전기에 설치할 수 있을 정도의 크기를 지니며, 기본적으로 센서의 구조가 고주파 웨이브가이드로서 고주파용 센서로 적합하다. 또한 저주파 신호를 검출하기 위한 센서로 로고우스키 코일 형태의 U 타입 센서는 와전류를 검출하는 센서로서 슬롯 외부에 설치 되어야 한다. 이러한 U 타입 센서와 마이크로스트립 센서 또는 2선 평행 전송선로를 동시에 설치할 경우 저, 고주파를 효과적으로 검출할 수 있다.

운전 중인 회전기기에서 고정자 권선의 절연 상태는 부분방전시험을 통해 검사, 평가할 수 있고 이를 통하여 사고예방을 위한 진단을 할 수 있다. 기존 센서인 SSC(Stator Slot Coupler)는 비접촉식으로 권선의 웨지 아래에 설치하므로 설치하기가 불편하고 Global VPI 방식으로 제작된 소형 회전기에는 사용할 수 없는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 소형 회전기에 사용 가능한 저, 고주파용 부분방전 센서를 제안하였다. 웨지 위에 설치 가능한 SSC 형태의 마이크로스트립 센서 및 2선 평행 전송선로 센서는 고주파에 적합하고 저렴하며 소형 회전 기에 설치 가능하다. 센서의 성능을 검증하기 위해 3차원 해석 프로그램을 사용하여 좋은 전자파 검출 성능을 도출할 수 있었다. 또한 저주파용으로 제안된 U 타입 센서는 유도전류를 검출하는 센서로서 슬롯 외부에 설치되어야 하고 시간차분 수치해석을 이용해서 저주파에서 효과적으로 방전 펄스를 검출함을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, field pull-out test and 3-D FEM analysis have been performed for examining and reflecting the behavior of steel pipe nailing installed foldable wedge. Field pull-out test was performed under various conditions. As a result, the steel pipe nailing installed foldable wedge has an effect of pull-out resistance increased about 30% in comparison with non-wedge type steel pipe nailing. Through back analysis in 3-D FEM for behavior of non-wedge type steel pipe nailing, friction characteristics between nail to soil was analyzed and obtained first consistent with field pull-out behavior. Then, the frictional characteristic was used for analyzing the behavior of the steel pipe nailing installed foldable wedge. The result was compared with the test results. Consequently, friction coefficient (${\mu}$) of about 1.2 between grout to soil leads to good agreement with analysis results and test results. And a limited pull-out resistance, $$T_L{\sim_=}32$$ tonf is similar to field pull-out test result which is improved about 33% in comparison with non-wedge type steel pipe nailing's $$T_L{\sim_=}24$$ tonf.

Out-of-sphericity is degree of deformation of an air bearing sphere deviated from a perfect sphere. This paper investigates numerically the effect of out-of-sphericity error on the radial stiffness of an air bearing Three types of out-of-sphericity modes are considered. in this study the stiffness is calculated from pressure distribution at the bearing surface which is obtained by solving th Reynolds equation. in some cases large out-of-sphericity errors are found to improve the stiffnesses of air bearings. This implies that an air bearing of perfect hemispheres is not necessarily of the best performance. Thus much labor and cost in manufacturing air bearings can be saved, In addition the radial stiffness of an air bearing depends greatly on the application direction.

In this study, field pull-out tests were performed for steel pipe nailing installed foldable wedge and non-wedge type steel pipe nailing under the same test conditions. This is to evaluate pull-out resistance improvement effect of steel pipe nailing installed foldable wedge. Evaluating for field pull-out characteristics of steel pipe nailing installed foldable wedge was performed through analysis of ultimate pull-out resistance ($T_L$), ultimate unit skin friction ($q_s$, $u_{max}$), tensile normal stiffness ($K_{\beta}$), tension of nail. As a result, the steel pipe nailing installed foldable wedge have an effect of pull-out resistance increased about 30% in comparison with non-wedge type steel pipe nailing.

The aim of the present study is to derive an empirical formula relating the absorbed energy and the cutting length for longitudinally stiffened steel palates which are cut by a wedge, idealizing the ship bottom stiffened platings in groundings. This study is based on the test results and the investigations of some parameters affecting the cutting response, described in Part I. By dimensionless ana1ysis of the test results obtained in a quasi-static loading condition, the energy absorbed while a longitudinally stiffened plate is cut by a wedge is expressed as functions of the cutting length, the yield stress, the equivalent plate thickness and the wedge angle. Also, the dynamic effects are incorporated into the static formula such that the proposed formula can be applied to the impact loading situations. The validity of the proposed formula is checked by comparing with the results obtained by the other existing formulas or by the drop-hammer tests.

This paper presents an appropriate approach for modeling noise in Computed Radiography(CR) images of high strength materials. The approach is specifically designed for types of noise with the statistical and nonlinear properties. CR images Ere degraded even before they are encoded by computer process. Various types of noise often contribute to contaminate radiography image, although they are detected on digitalization. Quantum noise, which is Poisson distributed, is a shot noise, but the photon distribution on Image Plate(IP) of CR system is not always Poisson process. The statistical properties are relative and case-dependant due to its material characteristics. The usual assumption of a distribution of Poisson, binomial and Gaussian statistics are considered. Nonlinear effect is also represented in the process of statistical noise model. It leads to estimate the noise variance in regions from high to low intensity, specifying analytical model. The analysis approach is tested on a database of steel tube step-wedge CR images. The results are available for the comparative parameter studies which measure noise coherence, distribution, signal/noise ratios(SNR) and nonlinear interpolation.

Micropiles can be used to support additional load in extended building structures. However, their use brings about a risk of exceeding the bearing capacity of existing piles. In this study, pre-compression was applied to distribute the load of an existing building to micropiles, and an indoor loading test was performed to confirm the structural applicability of a wedge-type anchorage device designed to improve its capacity. According to the test results, the maximum strain of the anchorage device was 0.63 times that of the yield strain, and the amount of slip generated at the time of anchorage was 0.11 mm, satisfying structural standards. In addition, using MIDAS GTS, a geotechnical finite element analysis software, the effect of the size of the pre-compression, the thickness of the soil layer, and the ground conditions around the tip on the reaction force of the existing piles and micropiles were analyzed. From the numerical analysis, as the size of the pre-compression load increased, the reaction force of the existing pile decreased, resulting in a reduction rate of up to 36 %. In addition, as the soil layer increased by 5 m, the reduction rate decreased by 4 %, and when the ground condition at the tip of the micropile was weathered rock, the reduction rate increased by 14 % compared with that of weathered soil.
