Impact-bouncing height of steel balls dropped from 1m height on various floor materials were measured to evaluate impact-bouncing characteristics depending on floor materials and the effect of these properties on walkability and fatigue of humanbody. Stone and tile finished concrete floor showed the highest bouncing height of around 70%, and soil showed the lowest bouncing height of around 3%. The second highest bouncing height was about 40% which corresponded to terazo finished concrete floor and about twice as high as the bouncing height on concrete floor without finishing. The impact-bouncing height could be lowered to 15~20% by using gum tile on concrete floor. Steel showed similar bouncing height to concrete floor, and wood-based materials showed the second lowest bouncing height next to soil. Among wood-based materials, hardwood species having higher specific gravities showed relatively high bouncing height of 8~24%, softwood species having low specific gravities showed relatively lower bouncing height of 5~18%, and wood composites showed bouncing height of 8~18%. Among all the materials used in this study, wood-based floor materials corresponded to the bouncing height of 10~15% which is considered to be best for humanbody. Surface painting on wood-based materials increased the bouncing height, and the number of bouncing of steel balls after dropping from 1m height increased as the bouncing height increased.

Electrohydraulic forming (EHF) is a high-speed forming process that uses an electric arc discharge in water. Shock waves resulting from the electric arc discharge are propagated to the blank through water and the blank moves toward the die. Advantages of EHF include improved formability due to the high-speed process and reduction of the bouncing effect. In the current study, a numerical simulation of EHF was developed using LS-DYNA. In the simulation, the model for the electric arc was assumed as an adiabatic gas expansion and an Arbitrary Lagrange-Eulerian (ALE) multi material formulation was used to describe the interaction between the electric arc and the water. In order to model the Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI), a coupling mechanism was used. The blank of Al 1100-O was simulated using shell elements. The results of the simulation showed that the blank was deformed due to the pressure propagation of water and the bouncing effect did not affect the formability of blank.

Leidenfrost drops with ellipsoidal shaping can control the bouncing height by adjusting the aspect ratio(AR) of the shape at the moment of impact. In this work, we focus on the effect of the AR and the impact Weber number(We) on the non-axisymmetrical spreading dynamics of the drop, which plays an important role in the control of bouncing. To understand the impact dynamics, the numerical simulation is conducted for the ellipsoidal drop impact upon the perfect non-wetting solid surface by using volume of fluid method, which shows the characteristics of the spreading behavior in each principal axis. As the AR increases, the drop has a high degree of the alignment into one principal axis, which leads to the consequent suppression of bouncing height with shape oscillation. As the We increases, the maximum spreading diameters in the principal axes both increase whereas the contact time on the solid surface rarely depends on the impact velocity at the same AR. The comprehensive understanding of the ellipsoidal drop impact upon non-wetting surface will provide the way to control of drop deposition in applications, such as surface cleaning and spray cooling.

The power relay can easily control high voltage and high current through metallic contacts. In addition, it has the advantage in reasonable price. So it has been used in many applications. But the power relay has a weak point by mechanical movements. These mechanical movements cause the bouncing phenomenon. Arc and bouncing phenomenon are the main causes of electric abrasion and material erosion. In this study, mechanical repetitive experiments and repetitive experiments in electrically connected state are conducted. Then these two experimental results in terms of bouncing phenomenon and changes in the contact surface are compared. In all number of repetitions, contacts in an electrically connected state cause smaller number of bounce. Also, It has lower contents of silver on eroded surface than the other. The experimental results would be helpful to the further study of contacts life span.

In this paper, the behavior and effect of conducting particles in a $SF_6$ insulated electrode system, are presented. It is shown that the bouncing voltage of the particle is independent of particle length, and that the breakdown voltages are affected by the particle length. The longer the particle, the lower the breakdown voltages. The bouncing-off, the lift off and breakdown voltages increase as the particle diameter increase. The breakdown voltage of free particle is lower than fixed particle on the enclosure.

대부분의 오븐 렌지는 위에서 아래로 여는 도어로 되어 있다. 오븐 렌지와 같이 열고 닫는 가전제품의 경우 도어의 감성이 제품 전체의 품질에 영향을 준다. 도어의 감성 품질을 평가하는 항목은 문을 열 때의 개방력, 문을 닫을 때의 폐쇄력, 문을 완전 개방하였을 때 발생하는 튕김 현상이 있다. 개방력과 폐쇄력이 크면 소비자의 불만 요소가 될 수 있고, 튕김 현상이 크면 소비자가 도어를 열었을 때 도어는 물론 몸체에도 충격이 가해져서 파손의 우려가 있다. 감성 품질을 향상시키기 위해서는 개방력, 폐쇄력, 튕김 현상을 최소화하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 개방력, 폐쇄력, 튕김 현상을 최소화하기 위해 비선형 캠과 스프링을 이용하여 기존의 이중 압축 스프링과 캠 구조를 개선한 메커니즘을 제안하였다. 또한, 제안된 메커니즘을 위해 비선형 캠을 설계 및 제작한 후 실제 오븐 렌지에 적용하여 기존보다 감성 품질이 우수함을 확인하였다.

An inviscid axisymmetric model capable of predicting droplet bouncing and the detailed pre-impact motion, influenced by the ambient pressure, has been developed using boundary element method (BEM). Because most droplet impact simulations of previous studies assumed that a droplet was already in contact with the impacting substrate at the simulation start, the previous simulations could not accurately describe the effect of the gas compressed between a failing droplet and the impacting substrate. To properly account for the surrounding gas effect, an effect is made to release a droplet from a certain height. High gas pressures are computationally observed in the region between the droplet and the impact surface at instances just prior to impact. The current simulation shows that the droplet retains its spherical shape when the surface tension energy is dominant over the dissipative energy. When increasing the Weber number, the droplet surface structure is highly deformed due to the appearance of the capillary waves and, consequently, a pyramidal surface structure is formed; this phenomenon was verified with our experiment. Parametric studies using our model include the pre-impact behavior which varies as a function of the Weber number and the surrounding gas pressure.

Recently, researches for droplet impact phenomena have been faced a new phase in the direction of studying the effect of complex external conditions (e.g. wettability, temperature, morphology, electric field, etc.) for depth understanding and precise controlling in various applications. Hence, here we investigated the electrified droplet impact phenomena, because there were few quantitative researches for electrified droplet impact when we considering many real applications such as electrospray, electrohydrodynamic (EHD) jet printing. To observe interaction effect of surface charge between substrate and droplet simultaneously, micro-droplets with various Reynolds number (Re) and Weber number (We) were dripped on super-hydrophobic surface with existence and nonexistence of electrical surface charge. It shows three kinds of impact behaviors, fully bouncing, partial bouncing, and splashing with different We. Also, charged droplet bounced higher on electrically charged surface than on non-charged surface. Additionally, transition regions of three impact behaviors were classified quantitatively with water hammer pressure value, which means instant pressure inside droplet at the impact moment.

고온으로 가열된 고체 표면 위를 타원형 액적이 충돌할 때, 구형 액적 충돌 거동과 다른 비축대칭적인 퍼짐 거동이 발생하여 반동 높이 조절이 가능하다고 보고되었다. 본 연구에서는 타원형 액적 종횡비가 퍼짐 거동에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 충돌 거동은 동기화된 두 대의 고속카메라를 이용하여 두 측면에서 관찰하였고, 액적의 장축과 단축에서의 액적 퍼짐 너비를 각각 조사함으로써 퍼짐 특성을 분석하였다. 실험 결과에서 종횡비가 클수록, 액적 단축의 최대 퍼짐 너비는 증가하는 데 반해, 액적 장축의 것은 큰 변화가 없는 것으로 나타나는 데, 이는 수축 과정에서 액적 정렬을 촉진하고 반동 억제에 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 추가적으로 액적 종횡비와 충돌 속도가 동시에 큰 영역에서 발생하는 반동 거동과 액적 분열 현상에 대하여 고찰하였다.

In response to drastic environmental changes, companies have been continuously rebalancing their resources and capabilities to sustain their competitive status or to survive difficult times. The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of sudden environmental changes on the competitive status of a firm and to identify the internal factors that differentiate sustainer and non-sustainer groups. To achieve this goal, we selected 85 representative IT and non-IT companies from the S&P 500 companies and investigated them with respect to the change in their five-year competitive status since the 2008 global financial crisis. As a concrete performance measure, the concept of perceived competitive status (PCS) was introduced, and four distinct PCS categories were identified by using the stock price changes during the selected period. The four distinct PCS categories are "sustaining," "drifting," "deep sunken," and "bouncing back." Discriminant analysis was performed on these four distinct PCS categories. The empirical study conducted showed that revenue and cost efficiency are the most discriminating factors, especially in the economic recovery period. In particular, stronger financial liquidity was observed in high-performing "bouncing back" companies than in the other category companies.
