Implicit finite element analysis of the flat surface-straight edge hemming process is performed by using a commercial code ABAQUS/Standard. Methods of finite element modeling for springback simulation and contact pair definition are discussed. An optimal mesh system is chosen through the error analysis that is based on the smoothing of discontinuity in the state variables. This study has focused on the investigation of the influence of process parameters in flanging, pre-hemming and main hemming on final hem quality, which can be defined by turn-down, warp and roll-in. The parameters adopted in this parametric study are flange length, flange angle, flanging die corner radius, face angle and insertion angle of pre-hemming punch, and over-stroke of pre-hemming and main hemming punches.

Hemming process, composed of flanging, pre-hemming and main hemming, is the last one of a series of forming processes conducted on the automotive panels, having a great influence on the outward appearance of them. The hem quality can be quantitatively defined by the hemming defects including turn-down, warp and roll-in. However, it is difficult to evaluate and predict the hem quality through the experimental measurement or the numerical calculation since the size of defects is very small. This study is focused on how to simulate in the finite element analysis (FEA) the same conditions as in the experiment. The FEA result on turn-down, that was obtained from a finite element model including the spring element linked to the flanging pad, had a good correlation with the experimental data. It was found that the radius of curvature of the flange deeply affects the final hem quality and therefore high rigidity of forming tools and tight assembling tolerance are highly recommended. An over-stroke of the main hemming punch is also proposed to reduce the turn-down.

Floating p-well 전압 감지를 이용한 시간 지연 회로를 적용하여 punch-though형 절연 게이트 바이폴라 트랜지스터 (PT-IGBT)의 최적화된 보호 회로를 제안하였다. Floating P-well 축전기와 게이트 저항은 정상 스위칭 동작시 단락 회로 감지 동작 (false detection of fault)을 차단하며, floating p-well 전압은 단락회로 상황시 풀-다운 (pull-down) MOSFET의 문턱 전압 이상으로 상승되어 풀-다운 MOSFET을 턴-온(turn-on) 시킴으로서 IGBT의 게이트 전압을 감소시킨다. 이에 따라 IGBT의 컬렉터 전류는 자연스럽게 감소된다. 실험 결과를 통해, 단락회로 상황에서 최적화된 IGBT의 보호회로가 소프트-셧다운 (soft-shutdown) 특성을 보이는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

The experimental study was carried out to investigate the stability and the performance characteristics of the aero-valved pulsating combustion system with maximum operating capacity of 60KW. The effect of geometry of combustion system on the stable condition, the flammability limit, the total pressure oscillation amplitude, and the operating frequency can be identified, and the maximum turn-down-ratio is obtained up to 3.3. The total pressure oscillation amplitude can be controlled by tunning the length of the air inlet pipe. The empirical equation with which the operating frequency can be approximated is proposed and the discrepancy is within 5%. The volumetric efficiency is identified to be one of the important parameters determining the upper flammability limit and the maximum value of which is approximately 22%.

본 논문은 40 kV 나노초 펄스발생을 위한 모듈형 solid-state Marx modulator(SSMM) 설계에 대해 기술한다. 가속기 및 플라즈마 어플리케이션과 같은 다양한 응용분야에 요구되는 전압 및 전류 사양을 만족시키기 위해 10 kV(출력 전압), 50 ns(펄스폭), 20 ns(상승&하강 시간), 100 kHz(반복률)의 사양을 만족하는 단위모듈기반으로 모듈형 설계를 제안한다. 독립적인 제어가 가능한 4개의 단위모듈을 기반으로 제안된 SSMM은 임의의 출력 파워 및 임피던스를 만족시킬 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 예를 들어, 모든 단위모듈의 위상을 같게 했을 때 출력전압을 증가시킬 수 있으며 각 모듈의 위상을 지연하였을 경우는 펄스의 반복률을 크게 높일 수 있다. 개발된 SSMM은 직렬 스택 MOSFET의 스위칭 성능을 향상시키기 위해 게이트 구동 회로는 동기 신호와 구동 전력을 제공하는 1 턴 변압기로 설계되었다. 출력 펄스의 폭과 하강시간을 최소화하기 위해 다이오드 대신 기생 커패시턴스에 저장된 에너지를 빠르게 방출하는 액티브 풀다운 회로가 적용되었다. 또한, 출력 펄스의 빠른 상승을 달성하기 위해 게이트의 라인 인덕턴스를 최소화하고 모든 게이트 신호의 동기화는 필수적이다. 개발된 ns급 펄스전원장치는 단위모듈을 기반으로 최대 펄스전압이 40 kV 까지 출력이 가능하며 이에 대한 상세설계 및 구현은 실험결과를 바탕으로 검증한다.

Transpiration is the movement of water into the atmosphere through leaf stomata of plant, and it accounts for more than half of evapotranspiration from the land surface. The measurements of transpiration could be conducted in various ways including eddy covariance and water balance method etc. However, the transpiration measurements of individual trees are necessary to quantify and compare the water use of each species and individual component within stands. For the measurement of the transpiration by individual tree, the thermometric methods such as heat dissipation and heat pulse methods are widely used. However, it is difficult and labor consuming to maintain the transpiration measurements of individual trees in a wide range area and especially for long-term experiment. Therefore, the sharing of sapflow data through database should be useful to promote the studies on transpiration and water balance for large spatial scale. In this paper, we present sap flow database, which have Granier type sap flux data from 18 Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis) since 2011 and 16 (Quercus aliena) since 2013 in Mt.Taehwa Seoul National University forest and 18 needle fir (Abies holophylla), seven (Quercus serrata), three (Carpinus laxiflora and C. cordata each since 2013 in Gwangneung. In addition, the database includes the sapling transpiration of nine species (Prunus sargentii, Larix kaempferii, Quercus accutisima, Pinus densiflora, Fraxinus rhynchophylla, Chamecypans obtuse, P. koraiensis, Betulla platyphylla, A. holophylla, Pinus thunbergii), which were measured using heat pulse method since 2018. We believe this is the first database to share the sapflux data in Rep. of Korea, and we wish our database to be used by other researchers and contribute a variety of researches in this field.
