The objective of the study is to improve the quality of wheel bearing hub by the rigid-plastic finite element analysis and the response surface methodology. The rigid-plastic finite element codes, AFDEX-2D and DEFORM-3D, were used to analyze the two-dimensional and three-dimensional forging processes, respectively. The response surface analysis is used to find the minimum underfill by the variation of design variables such as the height of billet after upsetting and punch angles of blocker dies. The metal flow of forged product shows good agreement with the results from 2D and 3D analysis. Also, the quality of the wheel bearing hub has been improved by the optimization of design variables and the machining time has been reduced by the machining allowance.

This paper aims to clatify the potimum grinding condition for the electroplated diamond wheel in form grinding of Sr-ferrite. The main conclusions obtained were as follows. (1) The flexural strength and surface roughness of ferrite became the highest at the peripheral wheel speed of 1700m/min. (2) In the case of depth of cut larger than 0.4mm, crack layers is induced in the ground surface, the fracture type of chips exhibits slight ductile mode in the depth of cut smaller than 0.2mm. (3) When the depth of cut exceed 0.6mm, the tool life becomes extermely short due to large chipping and brackage. However, at the depth of cut .geq. 0.05mm, the diamond grain shows abrasive wear. (4) The flexural strength and surface roughness increases in proportion to the feed rate.

This paper presents the geometrical analysis of an inclined ultra-precision grinding technology using simulations about grinding point locus for micro lens manufacturing. Simulation results show the relationship between radius ratios ($R_1/R_2$) and wheel center locus. Furthermore, the critical grinding wheel radius ($R_1$) can be calculated from work-piece radius ($R_2$) and inclined angle ($\theta=-45^{\circ}$). These achievements could be applied to calculate CNC data in ultra-precision grinding and give insight for wheel wear and compensation grinding.

In this study, experiments of high speed grinding had been earned out in a STD11 specimen for evaluating the grindability with designed CBN grinding wheels Ground surfaces were analyzed and evaluated by means of surface Integrities and wheel damages. The surface roughness and 3 dimensional profile had been used for analyzing the micro-surface integrity. The residual stress of the ground surface had been measured by the x-ray diffraction method. Also, the surface state of the ground specimens and the grinding wheels were evaluated by a metallurgical microscope and SEM system after high speed grinding in order to choose the suitable machining conditions.

In this paper, an optimal power distribution algorithm is proposed for the small electric vehicle with front in-line and rear in-wheel motors. First, it is assumed that the vehicle driving torque and velocity are given conditions. And, an optimal problem is defined that finding the front and rear motor torques which minimizes the battery power. From the above optimization problem, the optimized front-rear motor torque distribution map is obtained. And, the vehicle simulations are performed to verify the performance of the optimal power distribution algorithm which is proposed in this study. The simulations are performed based on the federal urban driving schedule for two cases which are constant ratio power distribution, and optimal power distribution. From the simulation results, it is found that the optimal power distribution shows the 6.3% smaller battery energy consumption than the constant ratio power distribution.

In-wheel driving inverter inside engine room sometimes operates in the harsh environment like high temperature of about $105^{\circ}C$. Especially, the size and power density of the inverter has become smaller and more increased. Thus, it is essential to manage the temperature of the inverter with IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) switching devices for performance and endurance, because the temperature can be getting increase. In this paper, we performed the thermal flow analysis of inverter models with wave type and pin fin type cooling channels, and investigated the heat transfer characteristics of the inverter models using cooling water on channels at 8 L/min and $65^{\circ}C$. Also, we compared the thermal performance under various conditions such as coolant flow rate and layered power module structure. Therefore, we determined the feasibility of the initial inverter models and the thermal performance enhancement.

This article presents experimental studies of fuzzy logic application to control a two-wheel mobile robot(TWMR) system. The TWMR system is composed of two systems, an inverted pendulum system and a mobile robot system. Although linear controllers can stabilize the TWMR, fuzzy controllers are expected to have robustness to uncertainties so that the resulting performances are expected to be better. Nominal fuzzy rules are used to control balance and position of TWMR. Fuzzy logic is embedded on a DSP chip to control the TWMR. Balancing performances of the PID controller and the fuzzy controller under disturbances are compared through extensive experimental studies.

This study aims to find frequency weighting curves for the evaluation of drivers' discomfort by vertical and rotational steering wheel vibration. Equal sensation curves, inverse of frequency weighting curves, were determined for the two kinds of vibrations respectively by using the sinusoidal signals with reference amplitudes from 0.2 to 0.4 m/s2 in the frequency range from 5 to 100 ㎐. Twelve subjects joined at the tests, and median values of the twelve judgments were used to determine the equal sensation curves. An experiment was followed to compare the relative sensation magnitude between the two kinds of equal sensation curves, which showed discomfort by the rotational vibration was 1.5 times of that by the vertical vibration at 50 ㎐.

The driving methods of car are front wheel drive, rear wheel drive and four wheel drive. At driving methods, constant velocity joint is the most important part at carrying out two functions for converting to the direction which the driver wants and transferring the power to wheels. At driving on the road, the impact can be applied to the parts transmitting power according to the state of road surface. In this study, each models of three constant velocity joints whose shaft length are different respectively were modelled with CATIA and the structural and fatigue analyses were carried out by using ANSYS. This study result is thought to be the useful material at designing the constant velocity joint with the durability against impact. And it is possible to be grafted onto the convergence technique at the design of constant velocity joint and show the esthetic sense.

Mulching vinyl is used on field crops to reduce herbicides and this causes multiple effects. The mulching vinyl must be collected for the next crop season, but was left alone due to a shortage of labor. The used mulching vinyl that was left alone acted as one of the main sources of environmental pollution on farms. In order to solve these problems, a self-propelling vinyl remover was developed. The self-propelling vinyl remover consists of a travelling part and rotating of remover wheel. Each output device has a 1.5ps engine and a 2.5ps engine. The vinyl was twisted 17~47cm/times length. The bobbin's diameter was 160mm and it's stable travelling speed was 0.5m/s. The revolution of the remover wheel bobbin was 60rpm to maintain the wheel's linear velocity. As seen at performance test at the field which had 950mm ridge intervals and 10a area, the average working speed was 0.56m/s and the turning time was 15seconds. Therefore, the working performance was 40.1min/10a.
