Recently, the use of Robot increase little by little for the purpose of developing a welding quality and productivity in the arc welding part. It is more important to contact the seam for arc welding before moving a welding robot. There are two types of method to contact the seam namely contact and noncontact type largely In this paper, image processing sensor(a kind of non-contact sensor) is concerned to track the seam by using laser diode and CCD camera. A structured laser diode's light illuminated on the weld groove and the reflected shape is introduced by CCD camera. The image board captures this image and software analyzes this image. The robot is moved and welded exactly as acquired image X-Y data is changed with robot's X-Y value. Also, most of seam tracking are considered by changing the program simply in case of the different weld prove of plane surface.

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are smart materials. The unique characteristics of SMAs enable the production of large force and displacement. Hence, SMAs can be used in many applications such as in actuators and active structural acoustic controllers; the SMAs can also be used for dynamic tuning and shape control. A SMA torque tube actuator consisting of SMA tubes and superelastic springs is proposed, and the behaviors of the actuator are investigated. From the results of heat transfer analysis, it is proved that the SMA torque tube actuator with both resistive heating of SMA itself and a separate conventional heating rod in the tube core has good performance. The behavior of an actuator system was analyzed by performing a contact analysis, and the twisting motion was noticed when checking the actuation. 3D SMA nonlinear constitutive equations were formulated numerically and implemented by performing a nonlinear analysis by using Abaqus UMAT.

When the wind speed changes rapidly, the wind turbine is stopped for the safety of the power system and the mechanical system. At that moment, the wind turbine gearbox is damaged and broken due to the contact load of the gearbox. In addition, the problems such as increasing frictional heat and deteriorate of the brake occur, because the power of the blades is transmitted directly to the brakes. This paper proposes a hybrid magnetic gear shape that solves the problem caused by the contact of the mechanical gear, which is the power transmission device of the wind power generation system, and the power cutoff system. The shape of the hybrid magnetic gearsuitable for the wind power generation system is derived through the torque and loss analysis according to the shape of the hybrid magnetic gear by using the two dimensional finite analysis method.

This paper reports the results of an acceleration test to predict the contact-induced failure that could occur at the cylinder-to-hole joint for the fuel rod of a sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR). To incorporate the fuel life of the SFR currently under development at KAERI (around 35,000 h), the acceleration test method of reliability engineering was adopted in this work. A finite element method was used to evaluate the flow-induced vibration frequency and amplitude for the test parameter values. Five specimens were tested. The failure criterion during the life of the SFR fuel was applied. The S-N curve of the HT-9, the material of concern, was used to obtain the acceleration factor. As a result, a test time of 16.5 h was obtained for each specimen. It was concluded that the $B_{0.004}$ life would be guaranteed for the SFR fuel rods with 99％ confidence if no failure was observed at any of the contact surfaces of the five specimens.

The interfacial hydrodynamic issues in the screen printing are experimentally investigated by using model inks that are prepared by dispersing alumina nanoparticles in water. The printing patterns of the inks that are passed through differing geometrical shapes of screen on solid surfaces with differing wettability are not solely determined by the pattern on the screen. The dynamic contact angle cannot solely explain the physics of the problem, either. The difference between the screen and printing patterns was not the same for concave and convex corners. Especially the elasticity of ink affects the edge shape.

White light scanning interferometry is increasingly used for precision profile metrology of engineering surfaces, but its current application is primarily limited to opaque surfaces with relatively simple optical reflection behaviors. In this paper, a new attempt is made to extend the interferometric method to the thickness profile measurement of transparent thin film layers. An extensive frequency domain analysis of multiple reflection is performed to allow both the top and bottom interfaces of a thin film layer to be measured independently at the same time using nonlinear least squares technique. This rigorous approach provides not only point-by-point thickness probing but also complete volumetric film profiles digitized in three dimensions.

The objectives of this paper are to develop a finite element analysis model to analyze press-fitted and bending load conditions in a press-fitted assembly, and propose a hub shape optimization method to minimize contact pressure near the shaft contact edge. Numerical asymmetric-axisymmetric finite element models have been developed to predict contact stress on press-fitted shafts. The global optimization method, genetic algorithm, local optimization method, and sequential quadratic programming were applied to a press-fitted assembly to optimize the hub contact edge geometry. The results showed that the maximum contact pressure with the optimized hub shape decreased more than 60 % compared to conventional hubs and the maximum contact stress affecting fatigue life was reduced about 47 %. Hub shape optimization can be useful to increase the load capability of press fits in terms of wear and fatigue behavior.

In this study, we developed new tapered rolling type strip pressure key for the prevention of scratch in sheet metal forming line. The developed pressure key is equipped with two tapered rollers inside a conventional block pressure key. Through the scratch test, for the case of transversal movement the tapered rolling type pressure key reduces both friction and depth of scratch by the effect of tapered shape which decreases the pressure spike on edge, and for longitudinal movement the scratch on the sheet metal surface is certainly removed by the rolling contact.

A cam ring gear (CRG) system based on a hypotrochoid curve consists of a pinion with roller teeth and its conjugated internal CRG. In this study, we investigated contact forces, contact stresses, and load stress factors to predict the surface pitting life using an exact CRG profile by introducing the profile modification coefficient. The results show that the pitting life can be extended significantly by increasing the profile modification coefficient without any other change of parameters in the CRG system.

대표적인 대형 베어링인 일체형 볼 베어링과 와기어 레이스형 볼 또는 로울러 베어링의 마찰 특성을 비성형 유한요소 프로그램인 MARC를 사용하여 상호간의 마찰형상에 대한 접촉응력과 마찰력 특성을 비교 해석하였다. 특히 와이어 레이스식 슬루잉 링 베어링은 우수한 마찰특성 때문에 건설기계, 하역기계, 광산기계나 탱크와 같은 국방무기 등에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 접촉면의 변형에 따른 일체형의 볼 베어링은 마찰력과 기울기면에서 와이어 레이스식 베어링에 비하여 크고, 같은 와이어 레이스식 베어링에서는 마찰력의 경우 볼 타입이 로울러 탕입에 비하여 약간 크게 나타났다. 이들의 계산결과를 종합하면 와이어 레이스식 베어링이 일체형 베어링에 비하여 마찰특성이 우수하고, 특히 와이어 레이스 베어링중에서 로울러 타입은 마찰 토오크면에서 균일하기 때문에 베어링을 사용한 제어기능 설계에서 특히 우수한 결과를 제공할 수 있다. 유한요소 해석결과는 기존의 실험결과와 잘 일치하고 있어서 슬루잉 링 베어링의 최적설계에 유한요소 해석의 유용함을 확인하였다. 또한 상부 구조물과 하부 구조물을 연결하기 위한 체결볼트의 구멍은 하중조건에 따라서 구조적 불안정성을 야기할 수 있음도 확인하였다.
