As the environmental performance is getting important in global automotive industry sector, there is a need to build the intellectual capacity. Hence it is important to measure the performance of the green car patent development of global automotive companies. To do this, we propose to use Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA) Model with Analytic Network Process(ANP), which generates weight coefficients of inputs and outputs for DEA-AR(Assurance Region) model. We considered three inputs: corporate asset, R&D expenditures, number of employees, and three outputs: patent counts, patent citations and patent claims. The results showed that our model could measure the potential of green car technology, and we could see the trend of the green car industry sector.

The influence of sine wave striated surface roughness on load carrying capacity of a bearing is studied for thin film effect of slider bearing. A Reynolds equation appropriate for slider bearing is used in this paper for analysis and it is discussed using finite difference method of central difference scheme. For a slider bearing with sine wave simple roughness form, several parameters such as pressure, load capacity and shear stress of the bearing can be obtained and also this results can be stored in sequential data file for latter analysis. After all, their distribution can be displayed and analyzed easily by using the matlab GUI technique. The parameters such as amplitude, number of waviness and slope of the surface are used for discussing the load carrying capacity of the rectangular bearing. The results reported in this paper should be applied to the other slider bearing such as rectangular or round embossed surface of slider bearing.

In order to provide a mobile robot with omnidirectionality, various types of omnidirectional wheels have been developed. This paper deals with an improved design and structural analysis of a Mecanum wheel, which is the type of omnidirectional wheels most commonly used in industrial fields. A geometric formulation for manufacturingthe Mecanum wheel is presented and two types of Mecanum wheels are designed and fabricated in this research. While conventional assembled-type Mecanum wheels have a complicated structure and the high possibility of mutual interference between sub-components, a unified type of Mecanum wheel reduces the number of sub-components and increases the degree of structural rigidity. The stress and strain properties of the two designs are compared to confirm the quantitative improvement of the new design by a commercial structural analysis tool. The analysis results show that the unified type of Mecanum wheel has properties superior to the assembled type of Mecanum wheel in terms of its ability to reduce interference.

This study is about the distribution of heat transfer in air conditioning ducts used for marine vessels and oil drilling platforms. As the convective heat transfer coefficient increased, heat transfer was conducted dynamically to inside as it exited to the outlet of duct. The experiment was to determine if the amount of heat transfer generated at the duct exit increased as the convective heat transfer coefficient increased. When the convective heat transfer coefficient was low, the temperature of the duct showed a relatively high temperature difference between the outside and inside of the duct due to the temperature influence of the internal fluid. In case of temperature distribution generated the volume of the duct along the change of the convective heat transfer coefficient, the temperature descended as heat transfer was promoted and the convective heat transfer coefficient increased.

This study is about distributions of heat transfer in air conditioning duct used for marine and oil drilling ship. As the convective heat transfer coefficient increased, heat transfer was conducted dynamically to inside as it exited to the outlet of duct. So, it was checked that the amount of heat transfer generated at duct increased as the convective heat transfer coefficient increased. In case the convective heat transfer coefficient was low, the temperature of duct showed the relatively high temperature distribution due to the temperature influence of internal fluid as the heat transfer between the outside and inside of the duct. In case of temperature distribution generated the volume of the duct along the change of the convective heat transfer coefficient, it was found out that the temperature descended as heat transfer was promoted and the convective heat transfer coefficient increased.

This study concerns the distributions of flow in an air conditioning duct used for a marine and oil drilling ship. From the results of carrying out flow analysis and structural analysis of a ventilation duct applied to a marine structure, the following conclusion could be gained. The pressure tended to increase as the flow velocity at the inlet increased and the pressure at the inlet increased. It was recognized that the pressure decreased due to the influence of a corrugated tube when it entered and exited from the duct. As a result of structural analysis, a higher train was generated at the corrugated tube compared with the duct. In addition, in the case of the internal pressure of 0.7MPa, which was the designed load, it was found that there was almost no influence as it was within 0.1mm.

The results of the measurement of the flow-rate coefficient (Cv-value) and the analysis of a small ball valve are summarized follows. The Cv-values of 1/2-, 3/4- and 1-inch ball valves were measured using a flow-rate measurement test. The manufacturer obtained the Cv-value using a theoretical calculation method. The new experimental measurement and analysis method yielded more reliable results. In addition, the Cv value obtained through numerical analysis was almost identical the value provided by the manufacturer, which was based on experimental results. A Study on Flow Analysis results are all similar appearances as the reliability of the results.

Ready-mixed concrete is unconsolidated concrete typically transported to construction sites by using mixer trucks. A proper rotation of concrete is necessary to prevent its solidification in mixer trucks during transport: in accordance with the manufacturing method and quality inspection prescribed in KSF4009, this movement is maintained after the manufacturing of concrete in professional production plants and the addition of water, solid materials, and admixtures. Unfortunately, mixer truck parts wear out over long periods of time. In order to improve the wear resistance of the main part of mixer trucks, we used a steel plate with good wear resistance or partially added a reinforcement plate. In this study, we first tested the properties of concrete (as required for the DEM), and then carried out mixing and discharge simulations to define the actual operating conditions of mixer trucks. For each condition, we calculated the amount and location of wear. The reliability of our results was finally verified by comparing them with the measurement values. Overall, this study provided basic data for an optimal design of mixer trucks: one that would reduce the vehicles' weight and production costs.

This paper focuses on the development of a supporting S/W tool for the automated design of an automotive press trim die. To define the die design process based on automation, we analyze the press die design process of the current industry and group repetitive works in the 3D modeling process. The proposed system consists of two modules, namely the template models of the trim steel parts and UI function for their auto-positioning. Four kinds of template models are developed to adapt to various situations and the rules of the interaction formula which are used for checking and correcting the directions of the datum point, datum curve, datum plane are implemented to eliminate errors. The system was developed using CATIA Knowledgeware, CAA(CATIA SDK) and Visual C++, in order for it to function as a plug-in module of CATIA V5, which is one of the major 3D CAD systems in the manufacturing industry. The developed system was tested by applying it to various panels of current automobiles and the results showed that it reduces the time-cost by 74% compared to the traditional method.

An ultrafine grained complex aluminum alloy was fabricated by an accumulative roll-bonding (ARB) process using dissimilar aluminum alloys of AA1050 and AA5052 and subsequently annealed. A two-layer stack ARB process was performed up to six cycles without lubricant at an ambient temperature. In the ARB process, the dissimilar aluminum alloys, AA1050 and AA5052, with the same dimensions were stacked on each other after surface treatment, rolled to the thickness reduction of 50%, and then cut in half length by a shearing machine. The same procedure was repeated up to six cycles. A sound complex aluminum alloy sheet was fabricated by the ARB process, and then subsequently annealed for 0.5h at various temperatures ranging from 100 to $350^{\circ}C$. The tensile strength decreased largely with an increasing annealing temperature, especially at temperatures of 150 to $250^{\circ}C$. However, above $250^{\circ}C$ it hardly decreased even when the annealing temperature was increased. On the other hand, the total elongation increased greatly above $250^{\circ}C$. The hardness exhibited inhomogeneous distribution in the thickness direction of the specimens annealed at relatively low temperatures, however it had a homogeneous distribution in specimens annealed at high temperatures.
