For a 2-dimensional(2D) vibration milling, an excitation work-table was developed using two piezoelectric materials orthogonally arranged, where the trochoidal trajectory of a milling tool is combined with 2 dimensional elliptical vibration of a work-table. Applying 3kHz excitation frequency and 7~8mm amplitude of vibration to micro milling process with brass and nickel materials, the roughness in both bottom and side surface is much more improved compared to the surface by conventional milling process, which is attributed to decreased frictional force, increased cutting speed, and rubbing effect of a 2 dimensional vibration.

3-D micro structures and micro tools were fabricated using Micro Electrical Discharge Machining (MEDM). To make micro structures, micro electrical discharge milling process was applied. During micro electrical discharge milling, electrode (tool) worn in the both axial and radial direction. To compensate tool wear which has significant influence on machining accuracy, machining path overlapping was proposed. Machining characteristics of micro electrical discharge milling was investigated in considering of depth of cut and capacitance of discharge circuit. Micro complex shaped tools were also fabricated using REDM (reverse electrical discharge machining). Sacrificial electrodes were machined through electrical discharge milling process and were used as electrode to make micro tools. Using this process several micro tools shape of 'ㄷ', 'ㅁ' and 'o' were fabricated. With these complex shaped tools, micro machining was successfully applied repeatedly.

This paper presents 2-dimensional vibration cutting increases dynamic stiffness of tool support and improves the quality of machined surface in micro-machining. 2-dimensional vibration cutting is generated by two piezo actuators arranged orthogonally. A sine-type voltage is input to one actuator and a phase-shifted sine-type voltage is input the other. Then the vibration device actuates the tool in a 2-D elliptical motion with pulsed cutting force. It is a characteristic of 2-D vibration cutting that some negative thrust force occurs as the direction of friction on a tool rake surface is reversed. It helps not only chip flow smoothly and continuously but also cutting force be reduced. The quality of machined surface by 2-D vibration cutting depends on such parameters as vibration amplitude, frequency, cutting speed, depth of cut, etc. Compared to conventional cutting through tool path simulation and experiments under several conditions, the 2-D vibration cutting is verified to bring forth a great decrease of cutting forces, much better surface roughness and moreover much less burr.

Micro-abrasive Jet Machining is one of the new technology which enables micro-scale machining on the surface of high brittle materials. In this technology it is very important to fabricate a mask that prevents excessive abrasives not to machine un-intend surface. Our previous work introduced the micro-stereolithography technology for the mask fabrication. And is good to not only planar material but also for non-planar materials. But the technology requires a 3 dimensional mask CAD model which is perfectly matched with the surface topology of parent material as an input. Therefore there is strong need to develop an automated modeling technology which produce adequate 3D mask CAD model in fast and simple way. This paper introduces a fast and simple mask modeling algorithm which represents geometry of models in voxel. Input of the modeling system is 2D pattern image, 3D CAD model of parent material and machining parameters for Micro-abrasive Jet Machining. And the output is CAD model of 3D mask which reflects machining parameters and geometry of the parent material. Finally the suggested algorithm is implemented as software and verified by some test cases.

LIDAR는 레이저를 대기에 송출하여 미세먼지의 이동에 의한 도플러 위상차를 검출함으로써 3차원 풍속벡터를 측정하는 원격탐사 장비로, 한국에너지기술연구원은 국내최초로 WindCube LIDAR를 도입하여 운영 중에 있다. LIDAR의 장점은 이동성, 설치의 편리성 외에도 현재까지 풍황탑이 모든 범위를 측정하지 못한 풍력발전기 블레이드 회전면 최고 높이인 지면 150m 까지의 풍속분포를 상세하게 측정할 수 있다는 특장점이 있다. WindCube LIDAR는 총 10개의 측정 고도를 설정할 수 있으며 1Hz로 원시자료를 획득하여 10분 평균자료로 저장한다. 이러한 측정자료를 통하여 기존 기상탑에서 불가능하였던 풍속분포의 정확한 이해와 난류특성의 파악이 가능하게 되었으나 반대급부로 급증한 측정자료의 정리와 분석에 많은 시간과 노력이 필요하게 되었다. 이에 한국에너지기술연구원에서는 LIDAR 측정자료의 가공 및 분석에 편리성을 제공하기 위해 KIER-$LidarWind^{TM}$ 프로그램을 개발하였으며, 2차원 등치선도 및 3차원 풍속분포 그래프를 시각함으로써 입체적인 가공 및 분석이 가능하도록 하였다.

A new method of fabricating 3-dimensional patterns on single crystal silicon is presented in this paper. The method utlizes both chemical and mechanical reactions to make patterns with dimensions of few microns in width and submicron in height. The primaryadvantage ofthis new method over conventional methods of making patterns on silicon lies in its cost effectiveness and speed. The process introduced in this paper is a maskless process and does not reauire expensive capital investment. It is expected that this method can be employed for flexible and cost effective fabrication of micro-machine components in MEMS application.

This paper provides a new method for hybrid machining, particularly suited to micro fabrication applications such as micro point, micro line, micro structure, micro partition and so on. Developed micro fabrication process by electrical discharge machining (EDM) and electrical discharge deposition (EDD) with metal powder (Ti, Fe) has been studied to build TiC or FeC structure. Titanium powder or iron powder is supplied from working fluid (kerosene or de-ionized water with powder) and adheres on a workpiece by the heat and electric power caused by the electrical discharge. The use of a tool electrode is expected to keep powder concentration high in the gap between a workpiece and a tool electrode and to accrete powder material on the workpiece. The deposition is tried under various electrical conditions (workpiece. tool electrode, working fluid, discharge current, voltage and powder etc.). On the other hand. using electrical discharge machining (EDM) with the same tool electrode, it can be used as a removal process (cutting) by electro erosion at the same time. Therefore. this new method can do a hybrid machining to build up and down a structure with the workpiece.
