  • It is expected that the typical lifestyle of the future will be transformed into an opulent and comfortable existence as the quality of life improves due to the increase in household income and reduction in working hours. In the meantime, as the standard of living becomes increasingly more comfortable and plentiful, the toll on physical health becomes magnified as a result of obesity and insufficient exercise caused by super nutrition and change in labor conditions. This has instigated a deep awareness in fitness on the part of many people, forcing them to recognize the significance of daily exercise and physical activity. The Elliptical Cross Trainer(ECT), which has drawn wide attention recently, is a non-impact athletic apparatus that not only promotes exercise of the upper body parts in such sports as skiing but also the exercise of lower parts of the body on a treadmill. It is a type of cross training athletic gear that has been developed for aerobic exercise throughout the entire body. It has already formed a market as big as that of the treadmill in Europe, America, etc. Recently, its demand is growing sharply in the Korean markets as well as those in Northeast Asian countries. Despite such demand increase and expansion, since most of the expensive ECTs are exclusively supplied by suppliers in only a few advanced countries, localization of the ECT is urgently required in order to enhance competitiveness of Korean manufacturers and to expand the market. The ECT development project has been in full swing for approximately two year since 2004 in order to secure independent design, as well as engineering and manufacturing processes in efforts to develop a commercially viable ECT.

  • This study is to investigate the phase changes and cold workability after isothermal transformation at $780^{\circ}C$ by using the high temperature gas nitrided (HTGN) STS 430 ferritic stainless steel specimens. The phase diagram of STS 430 steel obtained by calculation showed that the phase appeared at $1100^{\circ}C$ showed as ${\alpha}+{\gamma}{\rightarrow}{\gamma}{\rightarrow}{\gamma}+Cr_2N{\rightarrow}{\gamma}+Cr_2N+CrN$ with increasing nitrogen concentration. Also, the transformation of ${\gamma}{\rightarrow}Cr_2N$ during heat treatment isothermally at $780^{\circ}C$, nitrogen pearlite with lamellar type was fully formed at the nitrogen permated surface layer for 10 hrs. However, this transformation was not completed for 1 hr, resulting nitrogen pearlite plus martensite. The cold rolled specimen of isothermally transformed at $780^{\circ}C$ for 10 hrs after high temperature gas nitriding decreased the layer thickness of nitrogen pearlite inducing the deformation of hard $Cr_2N$ phase. the dissolution rate of $Cr_2N$ phase increased rapidly with increasing cold rolling ratio. Specimens with the microstructure of nitrogen pearlite (isothermally transformed at $780^{\circ}C$ for 10 hrs) were possible to cold rolling without crack formation. However, the mixed structures of nitrogen pearlite + martensite (isothermally transformed at $780^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr) were impossible to cold deformation without cracking.

  • In this paper, the activities carried out within the EU funded Clean Sky Joint Technology Initiative (JTI GRA) Project and aimed at developing a morphing flap, are illustrated. The reference device is a regional aircraft single slotted flap, enhanced with deforming capabilities to obtain improved hyper-lift performance. The design started with the identification of the internal architecture, intended to allow camber variations. A concentrated-hinge architecture was selected, for its ability to fit different curvatures and for the possibility of easily realizing an "armadillo-like" configuration, then avoiding the use of a complicate deformable skin. The flap layout is made of segmented ribs, elastically hinged each other and span-wise connected by conventional spars. Relative rotations of the rib elements are forced by SMA structural actuators, i.e., cooperating in the external loads absorption. Super-elastic SMA are used to make up recovery elastic elements, necessary to regain the original shape after activation. These further elements in turn contribute to the overall flap rigidity. After assessing the hinge number and the size of the SMA active and passive elements, the advanced design phase was dealt with. It was aimed at solving manufacturing issues and producing the executive drawings. The realized demonstrator was finally tested in lab conditions to prove its functionality in terms of whether target shape actuation or attained shape preservation under loads. On the basis of the numerical results and the experimental outcomes, precious hints were obtained for further developments of the concept.

  • Slag was collected from the iron-producing furnace site in Saengsoegol, Baegun mountain, where iron was manufactured by a righteous army against Japan in the Gwangyang region; then, the iron-manufacturing technique of the early modern period was investigated through scientific analysis. In the microstructure analysis results of the selected samples, iron bloom was mainly observed together with magnetite and fayalite. In the component analysis results of the compounds, it was confirmed that the furnace was built by using gangue of alkali feldspar or plagioclase series, and the ironmaking work was performed at a high temperature of at least 1050℃, because mullite was identified together with cristobalite and hercynite. Based on the chemical composition, it was speculated that low-grade iron ores were used as raw materials, and it seemed that the yield was low, because the total Fe content of the smelting slag samples was 37.72-49.93%. It was difficult to confirm whether a slag former was used, and it seemed that materials easily obtained nearby were used when the furnace was built, without considering the corrosion resistance. It appeared that the ironmaking work was performed at the Gwangyang Saengsoegol iron-producing furnace based on the direct ironmaking method in an environment that could escape the vigilance of the Japanese Empire to produce weapons that would be used for the resistance against Japan. It seemed that there was neither an advanced ironware production system nor a mass production system, and small-scale works were performed in short periods of time.

  • 본 연삭공정은 제품의 품질 만족도를 충족시키기 위해 기계가공의 마지막단계에서 이루어지는 공정이다. 일반적으로 연삭된 공작물의 가공 표면은 연삭 조건 및 드레싱 조건에 의해 그 정도가 결정된다. 이러게 연삭된 공작물의 표면 거칠기를 예측하기 위해서 몇 가지 거칠기 모델들이 연구되었다. 기존의 모델들은 몇 가지 주요 파라미터를 선정하고 이들 파라미터를 곱의 형태로 모델을 만들어 그 파라미터의 영향도를 고려하였다. 그러나 이러한 파라미터간 곱의 형태는 복잡한 연삭 메커니즘을 나타내기에는 충분하지가 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 뉴럴네트워크 알고리즘을 이용하여 플런지 연삭의 연삭 모델을 제안하였다. 제안된 구조는 초기 거칠기 모델과 최종 거칠기 모델로 구성되어 있다. 제안된 뉴럴네트워크의 입력 파라미터는 기존의 거칠기 모델들의 것을 이용하였다. 제안된 모델의 거칠기 예측 성능은 실험을 통해 검증하였다.

  • 최근 전자제품에 납이나 크롬, 수은 등 중금속을 사용하지 않고 환경친화적으로 대체해 가는 업체들이 늘고있다. 선진국에서는 납을 사용하지 않는 무연솔더가 개발되면서 납땜 공정이 거의 사라지고 있으나 무연솔더의 경우 친환경적이지만 가격이 비싸고 납에 비해 접착성과 내구성 등이 떨어져 개량이 필요한 것이 현실이다. 이를 해결하기 위해 TIG 용접을 이용하여 실내등의 도입선과 베이스부에 대한 이종금속 용접기술을 개발하였다. 이를 위하여 기존의 실내등 제작공정을 파악하여 용접 공정으로 대체할 수 있는 방안을 마련하였고 TIG 용접 파라미터의 최적값을 선정하기 위해 시험을 수행하였다. 마지막으로 전구 수명 시험과 내진성 평가를 실시하여 용접된 실내등의 신뢰성을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • 다이아몬드 입자를 전착한 와이어를 사용하여 실리콘 잉곳을 슬라이싱 하는 방식은 기존의 슬러리를 사용하는 방식과 달리 절단매체인 실리콘카바이드를 사용하지 않기 때문에 웨이퍼링 후에 발생하는 슬러지에 함유되어 있는 고형분의 대부분은 잉곳으로부터 분리되어 나온 실리콘 성분으로 구성되어 있다. 따라서 슬러지에 함유되어 있는 액상성분만 제거하여도 어렵지 않게 90% 이상의 순도를 가지는 실리콘을 회수할 수 있는 이점이 있다. 본 연구에서 다이아몬드 와이어 쏘잉 방식에서 배출된 슬러지로부터 오일 성분을 제거하여 고품위 실리콘 분말을 회수하였으며, 성형 및 소결공정을 통하여 실리콘에 포함되어 있는 유기물을 포함한 금속불순물을 제거하고, 미분체 실리콘의 산화가 용이한 점을 활용하여 열산화 공정으로 3N급 순도의 실리카를 제조하였다.

  • Controlling the stick and slip motions of the contact lines in a confined geometry comprised of a spherical lens with a flat substrate is useful for manufacturing polymer ring patterns. We used a sphere on a flat geometry, by which we could control the interfaces of the solution, vapor and substrate. By this method, hundreds of concentric ring-pattern formations of a linear conjugated polymer, poly [2-methoxy-5-(2-thylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MEH-PPV), were generated with excellent regularity over large areas after complete solvent evaporation. Subsequently, the MEH-PPV ring patterns played a role as a directed template to organize highly regular concentric rings of single-walled carbon nanotubes(SWCNTs); when a droplet of the SWCNT suspension in water was casted onto the prepared substrate, hydrophobic polymer patterns confined the water dispersed SWCNTs in between the hydrophilicized $SiO_2/Si$ substrate. As the solvent evaporated, SWCNT-rings were formed in between MEH-PPV rings with controlled density. Finally, we used a lift-off process to produce SWCNT patterns by the removal of a sacrificial polymer template with organic solvent. We also fabricated a field effect transistor using self-assembled SWCNT networks on a $SiO_2/Si$ substrate.
