For simple and repetitive transport tasks in limited spaces such as in factories, it is more efficient to use mobile robots instead of human workers. For this reason, the reliance on mobile robots is increasing due to the increased implementation of smart factories. Currently, the structural design of the Mecanum wheel is required to ensure the stability of the moving robot since it is used for the transport of not only small products but also large products. In this paper, to improve the stability and durability of the Mecanum wheel, ways to improve the structure of the Mecanum wheel are presented. Then, using the Castigliano theorem, the structural stability is reviewed through the deflection on existing and improved structures.

모바일 하버용 크레인은 항만 부두에 설치되어 있는 일반 지상식 크레인과는 달리 소형 경량 구조를 요구한다. RORI 크레인은 이러한 요구조건을 만족시키기 위해 고안된 신개념의 모바일 하버용 크레인 시스템으로서 해상에서 컨테이너 상하역 작업을 고속으로 처리할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 운항 시에는 완전히 접을 수 있도록 되어 있다. 본 연구는 컨테이너 상하역 작업에 따른 RORI 크레인의 수평붐 끝단 처짐량 분석에 관한 내용으로, 카스틸리아노 정리를 이용한 이론적인 방법과 유한요소법에 의한 수치해석적인 방법을 적용하였다. 두 기법으로 구한 끝단 처짐량을 비교분석함으로써 유한요소해석의 타당성을 입증하고, 케이블의 초기장력에 따른 끝단 처짐량 변화특성을 파라메트릭하게 분석하였다.

본 연구에서는 판 스프링의 길이가 두께에 비하여 비교적 큰 것을 고려하여 판스프링의 기하학적 치수와 물성치들을 이용하여 판스프링의 강성과 조립된판 스프링 집합체의 강성을 예측할 수 있는 방법을 본 이론과 변형률 에너지이론을 적용하여 개 발하였고 그 개발된 방법으로 구한 강성예측치와 특성실험에서 얻은 강성치를 비교, 분석하여 판 스프링 강성해석 방법의 신뢰성을 보임과 동시에 독자적인 홀드다운스프 링 집합체의 특성해석 방법을 제시 하였다.

Many longitudinally arranged pipes in ships are subject to considerable displacement loads caused by the hull girder bending of ships and/or thermal loads in some special pipes through which fluids with highly abnormal temperatures are conveyed. As these loads may cause failure in the pipes or their supporting structures, loops have been widely adopted as a measure to prevent such failure, with the idea that they can lower the stress level in a pipe by absorbing some portion of these loads. But since such loops have some negative effects, such as causing extra manufacturing cost and occupying extra space, the number and dimensions of the loops need to be minimized. This research developed design formulas for pipe loops, modeling them as a spring element, for which the axial stiffness is calculated based on the beam theory, incorporating the effects of the curvature of loop corners and the flexibility of the straight portion of the pipe. The accuracy of the proposed design formulas was verified by comparing two results respectively obtained by the proposed formulas and MSC/NASTRAN. The paper ends with a sample application of the proposed formulas showing their efficiency.

A formula for estimating the elastic stiffness of TW-HDS with a uniformly tapered width from w$_{0}$ to w$_{1}$ over the length, has been analytically derived based on Euler beam theory and Castigliano's theorem. Elastic stiffnesses of the TW-HDSs designed in the same dimensional design spaces as the KOFA HDSs have been estimated from the derived formula, in addition, a sensitivity study on the elastic stiffness of the TW-HDSs has been carried out. Analysis results show that elastic stiffnesses of the TW-HDSs have been by far higher than those of the KOFA HDSs, and that, as the effects of axial and shear force on the elastic stiffness have been 0.15-0.21%, most of the elastic stiffness is attributed to the bending moment. As a result of sensitivity analysis, the elastic stiffness sensitivity at each design variable is quantified and design variables having remarkable sensitivity are identified. Among the design variables, leaf thickness is identified as that of having the most remarkable sensitivity of the elastic stiffness.

The previous elastic stiffness formulas of leaf type holddown spring assemblies(HDSs) have been corrected and extended to be able to consider the point of taper runout for the TT-HDS and all the strain energies for both the TT-HDS and the TW-HDS based on Euler beam theory and Castigliano'stheorem. The elastic stiffness sensitivity of the leaf type holddown spring assemblies was analyzed using the derived elastic stiffness formulas and their gradient vectors obtained from the mid-point formula. As a result of the sensitivity analysis, the elastic stiffness sensitivity at each design variable is quantified and design variables having remarkable sensitivity are identified. Among the design variables, leaf thickness is identified as that of having the most remarkable sensitivity of the elastic stiffness. In addition, it was found that the sensitivity of the leaf type HDS's elastic stiffness is exponentially correlated to the leaf thickness.
