Roll to Roll (R2R) is one of the most promising production technologies in the printed electronics such as OLEDs, e-paper, backplanes, RFID because this technology can save production cost and increase production speed. Printed electronics includes various processes such as printing, drying, winding, unwinding, and so on. In printed electronics R2R system, air-flotation oven is employed for drying process. Therefore, it is essential to introduce efficient and fast drying process when printing is finished. This paper considers the analysis of drying process in R2R that involves hot air flow. Air-flotation oven consists of non-contact supports and drying of coated web materials such as plastic films and paper. In this paper, experimental results and numerical analysis of pressure-pad air bar are investigated. The aerodynamic characteristics of pressure-pad air bar are numerically calculated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach. Then the measured values of the aerodynamic forces for air bars are compared with those of CFD analysis.

Sink marks are a common defect that occurs due to differences in shrinkage in areas with significant thickness variations in injection-molded parts. In this paper, we investigated the reduction of sink marks and the improvement of gas venting in injection molding processes using External Gas Injection (EGI). A mold was designed with considerations for EGI core pins, O-ring grooves to prevent gas leakage, and ejector-pin sealing. The sink marks were then examined through a series of experiments. When the delay time for injecting compressed air was set to 2.2 seconds, the depth of the sink marks was minimized. However, when the delay time was either too short or too long, the depth of the sink marks increased. There was almost no difference in the depth of the sink marks at discharge pressures of 30 and 50 bar of compressed air, but the sink marks were significantly reduced at a discharge pressure of 70 bar. Under the conditions of a 2.2-second delay time and a supply pressure of 70 bar, the smallest depth, 0.594 ㎛, was observed when the supply time was between 6 and 7 seconds. This represents a reduction of approximately 94% compared to the sink mark depth of 10.078 ㎛ observed with conventional injection molding. To verify the gas venting effect of compressed air injection, an experiment was conducted using non-dried PC. The silver streaks that appeared on the exterior of the molded part were completely eliminated when the air supply pressure was set to 20 bar. This indicates that by injecting compressed air into the mold cavity before injecting the resin, the appearance quality of the injection-molded part can be improved without the need to dry the resin in advance.

In this paper, a new approach detecting broken rotor bars in a squirrel-cage induction motor is proposed. The air-gap flux variation analysis was done using search coils inserted in stator slots when broken rotor bar conditions occur. An accurate modelling and analysis of air-gap flux variation in the induction motor are developed using finite-element(FE) software packages, and measuring the flux we made using search coils. In the FE analysis, the three-phase squirrel-gage induction motor with 380 [V], 5 [HP], 4 Poles, 1,742 [rpm] ratings is used.

The environmental pollution caused by green-house gases such as $CO_2$ and $SF_6$ has been becoming the main issue of industrial society. Many developed countries are making efforts to minimize the amount of $CO_2$ emission come from the operation of high voltage electrical apparatuses. As a part of these efforts, 180 countries signed the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 to cut back on their green-house gas emissions. Nowadays, the study on the development of dry air insulated switchgear (DAIS) which is known as an eco-friendly electrical apparatus is in progress. A DAIS is advantageous for minimizing the effect of impurities and enhancing the dielectric characteristics over an air insulated switchgear (AIS) by applying constant pressure to an enclosed cubicle. Therefore, a study on the electrical insulation performance of dry air as a gaseous insulation medium is conducted in this paper to substitute a gas insulated switchgear (GIS) for DAIS. As results, it is verified that the AC dielectric characteristics of dry air are similar to those of air and the lightning impulse dielectric characteristics of dry air are superior to those of air at 1bar pressure condition. However, dry air is of inferior dielectric characteristics to $SF_6$ at 4bar pressure condition. Finally, it is suggested that the internal pressure of DAIS should be over 4bar pressure to develop a high voltage switchgear which has similar electrical performance to a conventional GIS. Also, the empirical formulae on calculating the maximum electric field intensity at sparkover of dry air are deduced by experiments according to pressures. It is expected that these results are helpful to design and develop a high voltage electrical apparatus.

Inside noise level of a running train in open field is the summation of air borne noise and structure-borne noise. Anti-roll bar is the major transmission path of vibration from bogie. And this vibration gives an effect to the structure borne noise. In this paper, the effect of anti-roll bar is investigated. Structure borne noise is analyzed in terms of changing the mounting position of anti-roll bar to reduce inside noise levels.

This study was undertaken to investigation the spray characteristics of the twin fluid atomization nozzle system. The light oil was injected at the normal temperature and injection pressure was 5 bar - 10 bar by 1 bar and volume flow was 0.5, 1.0 and 2,0 mmH2O(X10-2). We measured the SMD of sprayed droplet to study spray characteristics. The following conclusions were reached from the results of these study. 1. The more injection pressure increased, the more SMD decreased. 2. The more measuring distance between pressure nozzle tip and analyser beam increased, the more SMD increased. 3. SMD of the blower-air-added injection system were shown, increasing volume flow decreased respectively. The result of this study indicated the blower-air-added injection system induced beneficial changes in SMD. And it will be considered important indicator for spray characteristics design and performance evaluation of twin fluid atomization nozzle system.

Purpose: Surface damage and bonding strength difference after micromechanical treatment of zirconia surface are to be studied yet. The aim of this study was to evaluate the difference of fracture resistance and bonding strength between more surface-damaged group from higher air-blasting particle size and pressure, and less damaged group. Materials and Methods: Disk shape zirconia ($LAVA^{TM}$) was sintered and air-blasted with $30{\mu}m$ particle size (Cojet), under 2.8 bar for 15 seconds, $110{\mu}m$ particle size (Rocatec), under 2.8 bar for 15 seconds, and $110{\mu}m$ particle size (Rocatec), under 3.8 bar for 30 seconds respectively. Biaxial flexure test and bonding failure load test were performed serially (n = 10 per group). For bonding test, specimens were bonded on the base material having similar modulus of elasticity of dentin with $200{\mu}m$-thick resin cement for tension of surface damage. Failure load of bonding was detected with acoustic emission (AE) sensor. Results: There were no significant differences both in the biaxial flexure test and bonding failure load test between groups (P > 0.05). Sub-surface cracks were all radial cracks except for two specimens. Conclusion: Within the limitations of no aging under monotonic load test, surface damage from higher air-blasting particle size and pressure was not significant. Evaluations of failure load with bonded zirconia disks was clinically relevant modality for surface damage and bonding strength, simultaneously.

Generally, reinforced concrete is one of the most commonly used structural materials and it prevents corrosion of steel bar by high pH of interior, But, as time elapsed, reinforced concrete structure become deteriorated by many of combined deterioration factors and environmental conditions. And, there are large number of deteriorate mechanism of the reinforced concrete structure and it acts complexly. It is recognized that steel bar corrosion is the main distress behind the present concern regarding concrete durability. In this study, to institute combined deterioration environments, established acceleration condition and cycle for combined deterioration environments has a resemblance to environments which are real structures placed. After that to confirm corrosion properties of reinforced concrete due to permeability with covering depth and types of surface cover under combined deterioration environments, measured carbonation velocity coefficients, chloride ion diffusion coefficients, water absorption coefficients, air permeability coefficients and electric potential, corrosion area ratio, weight reduction, corrosion velocity of steel bar. The results showed that an increase in age also decrease carbonation velocity coefficients, increase Chloride ion diffusion coefficients and increases water absorption coefficients. As well, an increase in age also increases corrosion of steel bar. Data on the development of corrosion velocity of steel bar with types of surface cover made with none, organic B, organic A, inorganic B, and inorganic A is shown. As well, permeability and corrosion velocity of steel bar with covering depth is superior to 10mm than 20mm. And it is confirmed permeability and corrosion properties of steel bar are closely related.
