Micromachines are extremely novel artifacts with a variety of special characteristics. Utilizing their tiny dimensions ranging roughly from 10 to $1O^3$ micro-meters, the micromachines can perform tasks in a revolutionary manner that would be impossible for conventional artifacts. Micromachines are in general related to various coupled physical phenomena. They are required to be evaluated and designed considering the coupled phenomena. This paper describes finite element analysis (FEA) simulation of practical behaviors for the micro actuator. Especially, electric field modeling in micro actuators has been generally restricted to in-plane two-dimensional finite element analysis because of the complexity of the micro actuator geometry. However, in this thesis, the actual three-dimensional geometry of the micro actuator is considered. The starting torque obtained from the in-plane two-dimensional analytical solutions were compared with that of the actual three-dimensional FE analysis results. The starting torque is proportional to $V^2$, and that the two-dimensional analytical solutions are larger than the three-dimensional FE ones. It is found that the evaluation of micro actuator has to be considered electrical leakage phenomenon.

Injection molding is the most commonly used process that uses plastic material. Today, the uses of plastic material are continuously increasing, and the range of application is also being extended by the development of novel materials. An inline skate consists of 4 components: the boot, frame, wheel and brake. Among these components, the frame is the most critical. The injection formability for a variety of injection materials for inline skate frames was studied. We also studied the injection formability of the product for various sizes of the runner and gate. In this study, injection molding analysis was performed using MOLDFLOW, and structural analysis was performed using ANSYS.

This paper presents the design optimization of a linear actuator for fast response of electromagnetic engine valve. The optimization is performed using generic algorithm which is one of global search techniques and not highly dependent on either initial conditions or constraints in the solution domain to maximize the mechanical frequency of the armature mass and valve spring stiffness for fast response of the engine valve. In the results, the mechanical frequency is improved by 30 %.

In this Part 2, the grain growth processes of $Al_2O_3$ ceramics is numerically simulated using Monte Carlo method (MCM) and finite element method (FEM) and the pore sizes are analyzed. As the green ceramics whose thermal conductivities in high temperatures are generally low are sintered by the plasma heat and are rapidly cooled, the grain growth of the sintered body in the center is different from that in the outer. Also, even in the same sintering temperature, the pore size differs according to the pressing pressure. In order to prove the difference, the temperature distribution of the sintered body was analyzed using the finite element method and then the grain growth process associated with pressing pressures and relative densities was simulated using Monte Carlo method.

본 논문에서는 카메라폰용 광학줌(Optical zooming)과 자동초점조절장치(Auto Focusing, AF)에 쓰일 초음파모터를 제작하였다. 초음파모터의 제작 및 시뮬레이션은 유한요소해석 프로그램인 ATILA 5.2.1(Magsoft)를 사용하여 디자인설계에 따른 구동특성을 고찰하였고 세자된 초음파모터는 한쪽 면이 없는 사자형의 탄성체를 제작하였으며 탄성체의 양쪽 다리에 각각 압전체를 부착하였다. 또한 압전세라믹의 조성은 $0.9Pb(Zr_{0.51}Ti_{0.49})O_3$-$0.1Pb(Mn_{1/3}Nb_{1/3}Sb_{1/3})O_3$의 조성으로 설계하였고 시편의 제조는 7-layer로 적층하였다. 제작된 압전세라믹의 치수는 $6*2*0.35mm^3$ (길이*폭*두께)로 제작하였다. 또한 탄성체의 외형치수는 $10*10*2mm^3$ 제작하였으며 두께를 각각 0.3[mm], 0.5[mm], 0.8[mm]으로 변화시키며 제작하였다. 두께가 0.8[mm]인 경우 공진주파수 60.5[kHz]를 나타내었으며 초음파모터의 압전세라믹에 인가전압이 증가함에 따라 회전속도와 모터에 흐르는 전류는 증가하였다. 인가전압이 40[Vpp], 공진주파수는 60.5[kHz]일때 무게추를 달고 그때의 토크 및 효율을 측정하였다. 회전 속도는 토크가 증가함에 따라 거의 선형적으로 감소하였으며 효율은 토크에 따라 증가하다가 토크가 약 20(mNmm)일 때 약 28[%]로 최대치를 나타내었다.

In this study, resin flow analysis of resin transfer moulding (RTM) method was performed for mould design of composite structure. The target composite structure was a tank used for fluid storage. Natural c fiber composite was adopted for composite structural design of the fluid storage tank. RTM was adopted for manufacturing of the tank using natural fiber composites. Resin flow analysis was performed to find the proper RTM conditions of the tank. The resin flow analysis was performed using the commercial FEM flow simulation software. After repeated analysis while changing the location of resin inlet and outlet, the proper resin filling time and pattern were found.

Hydrostatic transmission (HST) comprises rotary parts, shafts, valve plate, swashplate, and servo pistons. Ensuring structural stability of each part of an HST has a significant impact on product safety. In this study, the structural stability of HST in agricultural machinery and industrial vehicles was analyzed using ANSYS software. For conservative evaluation, high-pressure conditions (35.5 MPa and 2 MPa pilot pressure) were applied as load conditions. The number of grids used in the calculations ranged from 0.4 to 0.8 million depending on modeling requirements. Structural analysis was performed for essential parts and safety factor was analyzed. All major parts of HST had a safety factor of ≥ 1.5. Thus, they were judged to be structurally safe. This study provides important information for designing an HST system.

Research was conducted on a PA material-based composite material manufacturing method for application to engine mount brackets. Engine mount brackets must have heat resistance, impact resistance, and damping performance. PA66 resin was used as the base material for the composite material. The glass fiber was used as the reinforcement material. The composite material was manufactured using the injection molding method. The thermal, mechanical, and morphological characteristics were analyzed depending on the content of glass fiber. 3D model was created using the property evaluation database of composite materials(input data). The damping performance of the generated 3D model was extracted as out-put data. The reason for evaluating the characteristics of PA-based composite materials and conducting simulations on the damping performance of 3D models of engine brackets is because product performance can be predicted without manufacturing actual automobile parts and conducting damping performance tests. As a result of the damping simulation, damping performance tended to increase proportionally as the mass fraction of the reinforcement increased. But above a certain level, it no longer increased and slightly decreased. As a result of comparing the actual experimental values a nd the simulated values, the approximate value was within ±5%.

This paper suggested the vibration characteristic improvement by variation mode of ring type ultrasonic motor. Design for the piezoelectric ceramic and elastic body of stator were calculated by the finite element method(FEM) that consider the resonance frequency, vibration mode and coupling efficiency etc. Through the result of vibration analysis from 6 order mode to 8 mode, the 7 order mode was gained very an excellent results that it was the coupling efficient, minimum power loss and bending vibration value. Here over 7 order mode, was acquired that an output current for input voltage was very a large increased results. The result of vibration calculation, from thickness 0.5[mm] to 2[mm], know the fact that the vibration displacement at 0.5[mm] is an high value too. From such analysis result, this paper was manufactured the ultrasonic motor of outer diameter 50[mm], inter 22[mm] having the about 43.86[KHz] resonance frequency. We have gated that a simulation result is 42.2[KHz] and an experiment result is 43.86[KHz].

본 연구에서는 압전체의 횡 진동모드를 이용한 압전 초음파 진동자를 설계 분석하였다. 이전의 란쥬반 진동자는 진동을 얻기 위하여, 복수의 원판 또는 사각판 형태의 압전 세라믹을 서로 반대 방향으로 분극하여 마주 보도록 설치한 후 전기적으로 병렬로 연결하고 상단 및 하단에 금속부을 부착하여 전체를 볼트로 조인 복잡한 구조와 큰 출력 파워를 갚는 반면, 본 연구에서는 판상형의 압전소자와 일체형 금속진동체를 이용하여 기계적 출력 파워 조절이 용이한 구조의 압전 진동자를 고안하여, 압전진동자의 횡 진동 모드를 이용함으로써 신뢰성과 정확도가 높고 진동효율이 최대가 되도록 설계하였다. 설계 개발된 압전 진동자는 진동의 크기 조절이 용이하여 일반 진동자 뿐 만 아니라, 외과 및 안과 수술에 있어서 인체조직이나 각막상피의 활성화를 유지한 상태에서 안전하게 절개 및 분리 시술용 진동자로 사용 할 수 있는 이점이있다. 압전 진동자는 유한요소법 시뮬레이션 프로그램 (ATILA 5.2.4)을 이용하여 설계를 하였으며 압전소자의 두께는 각각 0.2 mm, 0.5 mm로 제작하여 시뮬레이션 결과와 제작된 샘플의 특성을 비교하였고, 변위측정은 칼날을 결합 한 상태에서 공진 주파수대역 부근 주파수별로 측정 비교하였다.
