This study was conducted to develop a garlic separator which could to reduce the labor in preparation of seeding. After consideration of the design criteria of a garlic separator such as no additional conveying device, simple construction and operation, enhancement of separating efficiency, reduction of damage, degree a rotating corn type garlic separator was designed. The effects of design parameters such as height and angle of the inner and outer corns, rotating speed of inner corn on the separating performance of the prototype were estimated. In performance was compared with manual work. The results are summarized as follows. 1. Garlic bulbs were separated by a spiral movement in the gap between inner rotating corn and outer fixed corn. At constant feed rate of garlic bulbs, the capacity of garlic separation increased with increase of rotating speed of inner corn. Especially, the capacity was very high at the rotating speeds of 300 and 400rpm. 2. The damage degree of separated garlics increased with rotating speed of corn within 10%. Above 300rpm, separability of Uisung garlic was about 100% and incomplete separation of Namdo garlic was within 2%. 3. The capacity of prototype garlic separator developed in this study was 30 times as large as that of human being.

A friction-type clutch system sometimes generates spick-slip vibration during engagement, which disturbs smooth start of a car and makes a passenger uncomfortable. In this study, the spick-slip vibration in four types of friction couples was investigated at two different engagement conditions respectively of which the amount of slip time and clutch travel was varied. Results are found as follows. First, the vibration increased at the condition of small engine torque and large torque fluctuations due to higher harmonics of engine speed. Second, the friction couple without a pre-damper has advantages of reducing the vibration. This study also suggested an evaluation method of vehicle vibration in the view point of human perception by using the frequency weighting of ISO2631-1.

For a development of non-contact magnet gear which is magnetized as a helical shape, a method of 3-dimensional FEM analysis is used. An elementary technique required for magnetic property analysis and parts design about magnet gear is ensured. In order to test a performance of clean conveyor and turning device which is composed with magnet gear, a clean class 10 environment booth is used for a trial test. It is verified that the magnet conveyor can be acceptable under a condition of clean class 10 by a result of trial test about transfer speed, maximum torque permission, cleanness, maximum transfer weight, existence of hunting and degree of noise.

Magnetic torquer, which uses torque between magnetic dipole moment and earth magnetic field, has been used to control attitude of satellites. In this work, we developed a magnetic torquer for small scientific satellite and test under environmental conditions of the satellite launching and orbital motion have been carried out. The developed magnetic torquer shows saturation magnetic dipole moment of $15Am^2$, linearity of 0.3 % in the range of ${\pm}12Am^2$, mass of 0.46 kg, and power consumption of 1 Watt at magnetic dipole moment of $10Am^2$.

This paper presents considerations on the results of the rotating arm test, which was carried out for assessment of an hybrid navigation system for a semi-autonomous underwater vehicle. The navigation system consists of an inertial measurement unit(IMU), an ultra-short baseline(USBL) acoustic navigation sensor and a doppler velocity log(DVL) accompanying a magnetic compass. A navigational systemmodel is derived to include the scale effect and bias errors of the DVL, of which the state equation composed of the navigation states and sensor parameters are 25 in the order. The extended Kalman filter was used to propagate the error covariance, The rotating arm tests were carried out in the Ocean Engineering Basin of KRISO, to generate circular motion. The hybrid underwater navigation system shows good tracking performance against the circular planar motion. Additionally this paper checked the effects of the sampling ratio of the navigation system and the possibility of the dead reckoning with the DVL and the magnetic compass to estimate the position of the vehicle.

일반적으로 내화재의 내침식성은 크롬 함량이 증가함에 따라 향상되는 특성을 가지는데, 본 연구에서는 이러한 크롬 내화재의 물성을 보다 향상시키기 위하여 인산염 화합물인 $AlPO_4$를 첨가하는 실험을 진행하였으며, 이러한 실험 결과 선정된 $AlPO_4$ 1% 첨가 크롬 내화재를 대상으로 캐스타블 및 브릭 형태로 각각 제작하였을 때 내침식 특성에 대해 회전 침식 시험장치를 이용한 실험을 실시하였는데, 실험 결과 캐스타블에 비해 브릭 내화재가 내침식성이 우수하지만 일부 spalling이 발생하는 것으로 파악되었다. 그리고, 가스화기로의 석탄 공급 방식에 따라 내화재 벽면에서 발생하는 석탄입자에 의한 내화재 침식 정도에 대한 전산해석을 수행한 결과 top feeding에 비해 side feeding 방식이 내화재 전면에 걸쳐 침식 현상이 크게 발생할 것으로 예측되어 보다 크롬 함량이 많은 내화재를 선정해야 할 것으로 평가되었다.

In this study, the nonlinear mechanical behavior of flexible textile composites was predicted by two-step analyses: micromechanics and mesomechanics. The effective material properties for fiber tows of flexible textile composite lamina were calculated in micromechanics, which were then used to calculate the effective tensile stress-strain curve of flexible textile composites in mesomechanics. A user defined material algorithm was developed and inserted in ABAQUS to account for the geometric non-linearity due to the large rotation and shear deformation of fiber tows in mesomechanics. It was found that the stress-strain behavior of flexible textile composites exhibited significant non-linearity. The effective tensile modulus agreed well with the test result.

Fretting is a kind of surface damage mechanism observed in mechanically jointed components and structures. The initial crack under fretting damage occurs at lower stress amplitude and lower cycles of cyclic loading than that under plain fatigue condition. This can be observed in automobile and railway vehicle, fossil and nuclear power plant, aircraft etc. In the present study, railway axle material RSA1 used for evaluation of fretting fatigue life. Plain and fretting fatigue tests were carried out using rotary bending fatigue tester with proving ring and bridge type contact pad. Through these experiments, it is found that the fretting fatigue limit decreased about 37% compared to the plain fatigue limit. In fretting fatigue, the wear debris is observed on the contact surface, and oblique cracks at an earlier stage are initiated in contact area. These results can be used as useful data in a structural integrity evaluation of railway axle.

A tested micro axial-type turbine consists of two stages and its mean radius of rotor flow passage is 8.4 mm. This turbine could be applied to a driver of micro power system, and its rotational speed in the unloaded state reaches to 100,000 RPM. The performance of this system is sensitive depending on the blade angles of the rotor and stator because it is operated in a low partial admission rate, so a performance test is conducted through measuring the specific output power and the net specific output torque with various blade angles on the nozzle, stator and rotor. The experimental results show that the net specific output torque is varied by 15% by changing the rotor blade angle, and the optimal incidence angle is about $10.3^{\circ}$.

End hall type 이온건을 이용하여 다층 다이아몬드상 차본(DLC) 필름을 M2 steel 기판 위에 합성하였다. 다충 다이아몬드상 카본 필름은 순수 DLC 필름과 실라콘 함유 D DLC 필름의 조합으로 구성되어 있으며, $C_6H_6$ 및 수소 희석된 30% 를 사용하여 증착 하였다. 생성된 DLC 박막의 조성은 $C_6H_6$과 $SiH_4$ 가스의 비를 조절함으로써 변화시켰으며, 250 kHz의 고주파 전원을 바이어스 전원으로 사용하여 박막의 물성을 변화시켰다. DLC 박막의 두께와 다층의 구조 및 종류(2충, 4충)는 코팅 공정의 실험 변수로서 변화시켰다. 직경 3 mm의 루비볼을 사용하여 ball-on-disk 방식으로 마모 시험을 행하였으며, 하중은 490 g, 500 rpm에서 상대습도를 5 % 이하와 80 % 이상으로 변화시켜가며 시행하였다. 100,000 cycle 회전 후 측정된 시편의 마모상태는 5 % 이하의 습 도에서 4층 구조의 박막이 2충 구조의 박막보다 2배 이상 낮은 마모률을 보였으며 그 값은 각각 $2~3{\times}\;10^{-8}\;\textrm{mm}^3/rev$와 $1~2{\times}\;10^{-7}\;\textrm{mm}^3/rev$로 나타내었다. 80% 이상의 습도에서도 마모률의 변화는 저습에서의 경우와 유사하였다. 또한 Si함유 DLC 다층 박막이 저습 및 고습에서 더욱 안정한 마찰 마모 거동을 보였다.
