In this study, a scrap sorting system using a color recognition method has been developed to automatically sort out specified materials from a mixture, and its application as been examined in the separation of Cu and other non-ferrous metal parts from a mixture of iron scraps. The system is composed of three parts; measuring, conveying and ejecting parts. The color of scrap surface is recognized by the measuring part consisting of a line-scan camera, light sources and a frame grabber. The recognition is program-controlled by a image processing algorithms, and thus only the scrap part of designated color is separated by the use of air nozzles. In addition, the light system is designed to meet a high speed of sorting process with a frequency-variable inverter and the air nozzled ejectors are to be operated by an I/O interface communication with a hardware controller. In the functional tests of the system, its efficiency in the recognition of Cu scraps from its mixture with Fe ones reaches to more than 90%, and that in the separation more than 80% at a conveying speed of 25 m/min. Therefore, it is expected that the system can be commercialized in the industry of shredder makers if a high efficiency ejecting system is realized.

배전 계통은 기본적으로 방사상 구조를 가지고 있지만 향후 분산 전원의 출현 등으로 계통 운영의 복잡성이 증대될 것이다. 따라서 계통의 재구성이나 복구와 관련된 운영 전반에 관한 판단의 정확성과 신속성을 요구하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 HMA(Hierarchical Multi Agent) 방법을 이용하여 배전 계통의 운영에 활용해 보았다. HMA 방법은 서로 다른 행동 특성을 가진 Agent들이 자신의 역할을 수행하면서 전체적인 최적해를 찾을 수 있고 적은 정보를 이용하기 때문에 사고에 대처하는 속도가 빨라질 것으로 예상된다. 본 논문에서는 배전 계통에 맞는 HMA 모델과 각 Agent들의 행동 원칙을 제안하고 활용 방안을 제시하였다.

원자력발전소에서 발생되는 방사성폐기물들은 폐기물형태 및 방사능 농도가 다양하며 영구처분장으로 이송전까지는 발전소내의 임시 저장고에 안전하게 보관, 관리하고 있다. 생성된 폐기물드럼내에는 감마방출핵종을 비롯하여 알파 및 베타방출 핵종들이 균질 또는 비균질하게 존재하고 있으며 방사능의 세기나 폐기물의 특성에 따라 안정화시키거나 압축처리하여 드럼에 담겨져 있기 때문에 일반적인 파괴분석에 의한 화학분석법으로는 작업자의 피폭, 시료의 대표성 선정 및 장시간의 화학처리 시간소요 등으로 핵종분석이 곤란하다. 따라서 본 논문은 일반적으로 감마핵종분석시 흔히 사용하고 있는 고순도게르마늄(HPGe) 검출기를 이용하여 드럼의 감마핵종농도를 분석하는 방법과 장치의 개발에 대해 언급하였으며 알파나 베타핵종과 같이 직접 분석이 곤란한 핵종들은 각 폐기물드럼내에 존재하는 Co-60이나 Cs-137과의 상관관계를 미리 예측한 척도인자 (scaling factor)를 이용하여 간접적으로 구하는 방법을 사용하고 있으나 본 논문에서는 드럼으로부터 감마핵종만을 분석하는 방법에 대해서만 언급하였다. 또한 핵종분석시스템의 최적 운전조건을 도출하기 위해 드럼회전테이블의 속도결정 및 모의드럼을 이용한 방사능측정 등을 통해 핵종 농도 분석시의 오차를 30% 이내로 유지할 수 있었다.

In this paper, the operating stiffness of a parallel robot used to handle heavy packages is optimized. Because the studied model, called a "pick and place robot," is applied for packaging logistics, it is important for the robot to be lightweight so that it may respond rapidly and have high stiffness to allow sufficient operating precision. However, these two requirements of low weight and high stiffness are mutually exclusive. Thus, the dynamic characteristics of the robot are analyzed through multibody dynamics analysis, and topology optimization is conducted to achieve this exclusive performance. Lastly, the reliability of the topology optimization is verified by applying the optimized design to the parallel robot.

나노섬유는 마이크로 섬유에 비해 $10^3$배 정도의 넓은 표면적을 가지며, 다른 섬유와 비교하여 유연성, 투습성과 같은 특성이 우수하다. 나노섬유의 제조방법은 여러 가지가 있으나, 상용화의 가능성, 적용 고분자의 다양성, 제조공정의 단순성, 다양한 제품기술에의 응용성 등을 고려하여 선택하여야 한다. 나노섬유의 제조기술은 방법에 따라 전기방사, 복합방사, 멜트블로운 공정, 에어레이드 공정, 습식 공정 등으로 나눌 수 있다. 전기방사 등 나노섬유를 대량생산하여 상용화하려는 노력을 지속적으로 하고 있으나 나노섬유의 염색가공에 관련되어 기술적 한계로 제품전개에 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 그리하여 본 연구에서는 나노섬유 단독으로 제품화하기에는 강도 등의 문제로 PET에 워터펀칭한 복합소재로 개발하여 900nm 이하의 나노섬유에 대한 최적의 날염조건과 현장적용 생산기술을 개발하고자 하였다. 나노섬유 복합소재에 대하여 Brown, Red, Blue, Black 색상의 안료와 Urethane, Rubber, Acrylic, Eco Binder를 사용하여 날염 실험하였으며, 최적의 조건으로 현장생산에 적용하여 생산하였다. 안료의 고착성을 높여 날염성과 염색견뢰도를 증진시키기 위하여 원적외선 열처리기를 개발하여 현장생산에 접목시켰다. 원적외선 열처리기는 벙커C유 또는 가스 등을 사용하는 텐터나 증열기와는 다르게 전기를 에너지원으로 하여 원적외선 램프를 이용한 건열시스템의 형태로 저공해 및 그린 형태의 열처리기 시스템으로, 섬유에 대한 원적외선의 조사거리, 원적외선 램프의 간격, 적용 온도, 원단이송 속도 등에 따른 최적의 원적외선 열처리기 날염조건을 설정하였다. 바인더에 따른 날염성은 우레탄계 바인더를 사용하였을 경우에 가장 선명하고 깊은 색상을 보였으며, 아크릴계 바인더의 경우가 가장 낮은 색상을 보였으며 염색견뢰도는 대체적으로 양호한 결과를 얻었다. 그리고, 최근 환경적인 추세에 맞추어 에코 바인더를 사용하여 날염한 결과 염색성과 내구성 등은 우레탄계와 아크릴계 바인더의 중간 정도의 결과를 보였다.

A recursive geometric adaptive control method to compensate for machining straightness error in the finished surface due to tool deflection and guideway error generated by end milling process is developed. The relationship between the tool deflection and the feedrate is modeled by a modified Taylor's tool life equation. Without a priori knowledge on the variations off cutting parameters, time varying parameters are then estimated by an exponentially windowed recursive least squares method with only post-process measurements of the straightness error. The location error is controlled by shifting the milling bed in the direction perpendicular to the finished surface and adding a certain amount of feedrate with respect to the tool deflection model before cutting. The waviness error is compensated by adjusting the feedrate during machining. Experimental results show that location error is controlled within a range of fixturing error of the bed on the guideway and that about 60% reduction in the waviness error can be achieved within a few steps of parameter adaption under wide operating ranges of cutting conditions even if the parameters do not converge to fixed values.

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid-state joining process involving the frictional heat between the materials and tools. The amount of heat conducted into the workpiece determines the quality of the welded zone. Excessive heat input is the cause of oxides and porosity defects, and insufficient heat input can cause problems, such as tunnel defects. Therefore, analyzing the temperature history and distribution at the center of the Friction Stir Welded zone is very important. In this study, the temperature distribution of the friction stir welding region of an AZ61 magnesium alloy was investigated. To achieve this goal, the temperature and metal flow was predicted using the finite element method. In FE analysis, the welding tool was simplified and the friction condition was optimized. Moreover, the temperature measuring test at the center of the welding region was performed to verify the FE results. In this study, the tool rotation speed was a more dominant factor than the welding speed. In addition, the predicted temperature at the center of the welding region showed good agreement with the measurement results within the error range of 5.4% - 7.7%.
