  • An automotive automatic transmission is a popular power-transmitting device in passenger vehicles, as it provides various speed ratios for diverse driving conditions with easy manipulation and smooth gear shifting. The transmission is mainly composed of input and output shafts, planetary gear sets, brakes/clutches, and housing, and it yields multiple forward gears and one reverse gear by actuating the shifting devices of the brakes and clutches. In developing a new transmission, kinematic configurations of a transmission, which presents a brief structure and actuation schemes for speed ratios, need to be checked to determine if the structure can be assembled in a layout. It is impossible for a transmission concept having any interference in connecting main components to be developed further in the design process, since connection interference leads to failure of a layout design in the 2-D plane. In this research, an analysis of the assemblability of a front-wheel drive automatic transmission is carried out on an example concept design by applying the vertex addition algorithm based on graph theory.

  • When a mechanism transfers a motion to an intersected shaft, a cylindrical cam mechanism may be the best choice among the mechanisms. The cylindrical cam with a roller follower provides to transfer the motions to the intersect shafts simply without other connecting equipments of the intersect shafts. Typical example may be a roller-gear-cam mechanism. But the shape of the cam must be exactly defined in order to satisfy the conditions for the prescribed motion of the follower. This paper proposes a new method for the shape design of the cylindrical cams and also a CAD program is developed by using the proposed method. The relative velocity method calculates the relative velocity of the follower versus the cam at a center of roller, and then determines a contact point by using the geometric relationships and the kinematic constraints. The constraint used in the relative velocity method is that the relative velocity must be parallel to a common tangent line at the contact point of two independent bodies, i. e. the cam and the follower. Then, the shape of the cam is defined by the coordinate transformation of the trace of the contact points. Finally, this paper presents an example in order to prove the accuracy of the proposed methods in this paper and the application of the CAD program"CamDesign".

  • This study was conducted in order to improve opening efficiency of the miniaturized large-scale net for anchovy boat seine gear to reduce the fleet size. Field experiments were performed to observe geometry of nets by catcher boats. When the distances between the two ships were 150, 300 and 450 m, and the speeds of towing nets were 0.6, 0.9, and 1.2 k't, respectively. The vertical opening and actual opening of each part of the miniaturized large-scale net was as follows: the front part of the wing net, 8.7-13.3 m, 51-78%; the middle part of the wing net, 28.1-34.2 m, 55-67%; the entrance of the inside wing net, 31.3-38.5 m, 60-73%; the square and bosom, 22.7-29.6 m, 47-62%; the entrance of the body net, 20.9-26.4 m, 42-52%; the entrance of the bag net, 17.2-21 m, 72-89%; the flapper, 13.2-15.3 m, 78-83%; and the end of the bag net, 13.2-15.7 m, 72-75%. By connecting the net pendants with the front part of the wing net, the opening of the front part of the wing net was significantly improved compared to the traditional gear, which ensured both the wing net and the inside wing net with a normal net height. This, in turn, increased the efficiency of herding. The height of the body and bag nets was also higher than that of the tradition gear. In particular, the body net attached to the gear significantly improved the pocket shape of the gear and reduced the number of fish that were caught and escaped from the bag net, which increased the rate of fishing. The tension of towing nets was measured approximately between 2,958 and 7,110 kg, which indicates that the fleet can tow nets with 350 ps, the standard engine horse power. The fishing operation time was shortened compared with of the existent net, and the large-scale buoy attachment operation was also possible to operate the ship without fish detecting boat.

  • A snap ring is a kind of metal spring with open ends which can be installed into a groove to prevent lateral movement. In this study a nonlinear finite element analysis model is developed to simulate the fastening process of a snap ring connecting the constant velocity joint and the transmission. Insert load, disengage load and breakage are three important issues. They are analyzed using the developed model. The load histories of simulations are similar to those of tests and the differences of maximum load are around 10%. Bending of the entire ring and unfolding of the end section are major contributors of the fastening load. The load variations caused by the angular position of spline tooth are about 50%. Breakage is highly sensitive to the position of a snap ring.

  • The North Pacific midwater trawling which is one of the important fishing methods for Korean fishing industry is working in the Bering Sea and the sea near Kamchaka Peninsula. The catch by Korean midwater trawlers had been recorded about 300 thousands $^{M/_T}$ a year. Six types of midwater trawl net-ordinary midwater trawl net, super-V trawl net, super mesh trawl net, rope trawl net, super plus trawl net and kite trawl net-have been widely used by large trawlers above 1,500gt in size since 1982. Regarding the fishing efficiency, the super plus trawl net and kite trawl net were acknowledged as higher than other nets. Maximum mesh size of super-plus trawl net and kite trawl net ranges about 20m, whereas the length of net about 150m, and high-tech polyethylene is used as the material of rope part. The problems involved in the North Pacific midwater trawl net may be summarized as follows ; (1) The dimension of fishing gear is too big compared with the towing power of trawler. (2) The mesh size of the rope part is too big compared with that of the common netting part. (3) The net is often torn out in the connecting position of the rope part and the netting part. (4) The net is not matched with the trawler and the otter board in many trawlers, so the shape of the trawl gear in the water is instable. (5) The fish school located near head rope, ground rope and side rope in the net recorder is not caught in practice because of the net instability.

  • The aim of this paper is to propose an energy harvesting system by converting mechanical energy of revolving door into electrical energy. The method of energy harvesting system is discussed on two methods: one is the energy-harvester using gear shaft coupling system, and the other is the energy-harvester using spiral spring system. The former is generated by coupling the shaft of rotating door with generator system, while the latter is generated by connecting end-effector of door with the string of generator system. We present the experimental results for two developed energy-harvester. Finally, a comparison between these results is presented to show the validity of energy-harvester.

  • A double-parked car is the one that is parked in a crowded parking lot with its transmission gear in neutral position and its auxiliary brake released. A double-parked car can be moved by pushing it but doing so is very difficult and dangerous. In a previous study, we proposed an omni-directional mobile robot for moving a double parked car. In that study we adopted Mecanum wheels. Even though the proposed robot showed successful results, it has some drawbacks such as dependency on a load condition, complexity in control, inefficiency in power use, etc. To overcome those drawbacks, we propose a differential drive robot with ordinary two tire wheels. The proposed robot consists of two parts, one is a wheel part and the other is a body part. By selectively connecting or disconnecting those two parts with the aid of an electric brake, the proposed robot is able to have omni-directional mobility.

  • Porcelain insulators have generally been used in Korea to insulate a transmission line from the tower, and a highly polymerized compound polymer insulator which has superior stain proof characteristics, has also been used widely. Currently, a worker rides on the suspension insulator string for installation on towers and conductors but in case of polymer insulators, this will pollute and scratch the housing result in durability reduction by deterioration and corona. This study developed a high strength aluminum compound metal lauder designed to work on polymer insulators without riding, and a clamp type connecting device and safety gear for easy installation on the tower and conductor. These polymer insulator work device can be used for 154kV and 345kV polymer insulators through a strength and load test to secure safety. This paper presents field usage.

  • The Fighter aircraft transmission system consists of a light weight, High Speed Flexible Coupling (HSFC) known as Power Take-Off shaft (PTO) for connecting Engine gearbox (EGB) with Accessory Gear Box (AGB). The HSFC transmits the power through series of specially contoured metallic annular thin flexible plates whose planes are normal to the torque axis. The HSFC operates at high speed ranging from 10,000 to 18,000 rpm. The HSFC is also catered for accommodating larger lateral and axial misalignment resulting from differential thermal expansion of the aircraft engine and mounting arrangement. The contoured titanium alloy flexible plates are designed with a thin cross sectional profile to accommodate axial and parallel misalignment by the elastic material flexure. This paper investigates the effect of misalignment on the transmission characteristics of the HSFC couplings. A mathematical model for the HSFC coupling with misalignment has been developed for analyzing the torque transmission and force interaction characteristics. An extensive testing has been conducted for validating characteristics of the designed coupling under various misalignment conditions. With this the suitability of the model adapted for the design iteration of HSFC development is validated. This method will reduce the design iteration cycles of HSFC and can be extended for the similar development of flexible couplings.
