In this paper, the contact force between two colliding bodies is modeled by using Hertz's force-displacement law and nonlinear damping function. In order to verify the appropriateness of the proposed contact force model, the drop type impact test is carried out for different impact velocities and different materials of the impacting body, such as rubber, plastic and steel. In the drop type impact experiment, six photo interrupters in series close to the collision location are installed to measure the velocity before impact more accurately. The characteristics of contact force model are investigated through experiments. The parameters of the contact force model are estimated using the optimization technique. Finally the estimated parameters are used to predict the impact force between two colliding bodies in opening action of the magnetic contactor, a kind of switch mechanism for switching electric circuits.

This paper presents the design and fabrication model of a touchpad based on a contact-resistance-type force sensor. The touchpad works as a touch input device, which can sense contact location and contact force simultaneously. The touchpad is 40 mm wide and 40 mm long. The touchpad is fabricated by using a simple screen printing technique. The contact location is evaluated by the calibration setup, which has a load cell and three-axis stages. The location error is approximately 4 mm with respect to x-axis and y-axis directions. The force response of the fabricated touchpad is obtained at three points by loading and unloading of the probe. The touchpad can detect loads from 0 N to 2 N. The touchpad shows a hysteresis error rate of about 11% and uniformity error rate of about 3%.

In order to measure the real contact force between head and disk on hard disk drive quantitatively, many technique of measurement have been developed. Acoustic Emission Sensor can be used for detect elastic energy of head/disk contact as arms value. In this study using pencil breaking test is proposed for finding contact force using transfer function between calibrated force and real contact force. And real AE data of subambient and tripad slider shows bending and torsional mode and their energy are dominant in hard disk and head contact.

A new mechanical probe for 3-D feature measurement on coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) is presented. The probe is composed of the contact stylus and the three-component force sensor. With the stylus mounted on the force sensor, the probe can not only measure 3-D features, but also detect contact force acting on the stylus tip. Furthermore, the probing direction and the actual contact position can be determined by the relationship among three components of contact force to be detected. In this paper, transformation matrix representing the relationship between the external force acting on the stylus tip and the output voltages of measurement gauges is derived and calibrated. The prototype of probe is developed and its availability is investigated through the experimental setup for calibration test of the probe. A series of experimental results show that the proposed probe can be an effective means of improving the accuracy of touch probing on CMM.

The purpose of solderability assessment is to predict the effectiveness of soldering process. It is important for companies pursuing zero defects manufacturing because poor solderability is the major cause of two third of soldering failures. The most versatile solderability method is wetting balance method. However, there exist so many indices for wettability in the wetting balance test e.g. time to reach 2/3 values of maximum wetting force, tine to reach zero wetting force, maximum withdrawal force. In this study, three solderability assessment methods, which were the maximum withdrawal force, the wetting balance and the dynamic contact angle (DCA), were evaluated by comparing each other. The wetting balance technique measures the solderability by recording the forces exerted from the specimen after being dipped into the molten solder. Then the force at equilibrium state can be used to calculate a contact angle, which is known as static contact angles. The DCA measures contact angles occurred during advancing and withdrawing of the specimen and the contact angles are known as dynamic contact angles. The maximum withdrawal force uses the maximum force during withdrawal movement and then a contact angle can be calculated. In this study, the maximum withdrawal force method was found to be an objective index for measuring the solderability and the experiment results indicated good agreement between the maximum withdrawal force and the wetting balance method.

인장력을 받는 고력볼트로 체결된 T-stub는 지레작용력과 부재 사이의 접촉력 등의 영향을 받는다. 이러한 지레작용과 부재 사이의 접촉력 등이 고려된 설계식이 제안되지 않는 경우, 인장력을 받는 T-stub는 예측한 설계강도 보다 더 작은 강도에도 파괴될 가능성이 있다. 이를 방지하기 위하여 지금까지 많은 연구를 통하여 고력볼트로 체결된 T-stub의 지레작용력과 부재 사이의 접촉력 예측모델이 제안되었다. 그러나 아직도 우리나라에서는 이를 반영한 설계식의 제안이 이루어지고 있지 않다. 따라서 이 연구는 3차원 비선형 유한요소해석법을 적용하여 그동안 제안된 예측모델을 개선한 보다 정확한 지레작용력 및 접촉력 예측모델을 제안하고자 진행하였다. 3차원 비선형 유한요소 해석 결과, 이 연구에서 제안한 지레작용력 및 접촉력 예측모델은 기존의 예측모델보다 더 근사적인 예측값을 제공하였다.

A cycloidal speed reducer is a type of the speed reducers of machinery. The cycloidal speed reducer consists of two cycloidal plate gears, housing roller gear, input shaft, output pin and shaft, and eccentric bearings. Especially the cycloidal plate gear has the peculiar parts of the teeth, because of gearing with the housing roller gear that has the several rollers on the circular line. And then all teeth on the cycloidal plate gear can be designed to contact with the rollers on the housing roller gear at the same time. Therefore the cycloidal plate gear has always contact motion with rollers and the force is interacted between roller gear with cycloidal plate gear. Because the contact force and friction force must be required to improve the accuracy in design procedures of cycloidal speed reducers, this paper presents a force analysis considered friction effect approach derived by static force equilibrium condition, geometrical adaptation, instant velocity center method and relative velocity method.

Appropriate upward force is crucial for the pantograph on high speed train to collect current from the catenery system without separation. However, at high speed, large aerodynamic lifting force is generated by the contact plate and the arms of pantograph, which may cause wear of the contact wire. In this study, to confirm the interface performance of the pantograph on Korea High Speed Train, a method to measure the contact force of the pantograph was proposed and the related measurement system was developed. The forces acting on the pantograph were clarified and a procedure to calculate the aerodynamic lifting force was proposed. A special device was invented and applied to measure the lifting force. Measured contact forces were displayed by the developed system and evaluated according to the criteria. Countermeasures were also taken to reduce the contact force based on the results.

산업체에서 널리 사용되고 있는 유도전동기의 회전자를 제작하기 위하여 rotor core slot에 Cu bar를 열박음(shrinkage fit)작업으로 고정한 후 bar 표면을 punch로 원주방향으로 순차적으로 1.5~3mm 압입(swaging)작업시 rotor core slot과 bar 접촉면에 작용하는 contact tangential force의 크기와 분포를 단순화된 2차원 plane strain 해석모델을 사용하여 각각의 압입조건에 대하여 평가하였으며 또한 생산성 향상을 고려한 rotor core slot 설계시 slot 형상에 따른 접촉력 분포를 평가하여 rotor core slot 설계시 필요한 정보를 제공하고자 수치해석적인 방법을 사용하여 parametric study를 수행하였다. 이러한 탄소성 수치해석 결과 1) rotor core 압입작업시 bar 접촉면에 작용하는 contact force는 소성변형이 먼저 발생하는 bar 상부에 크게 작용하며 2) 순차적인 rotor core 압입작업시 bar 접촉면에 작용하는 total contact force는 바로 인접한 bar에 대한 압입작업에 의해서만 영향을 받으며 그 영향으로 약 55% 정도 total contact force가 증가하며 3) 생산성을 고려하여 rotor core를 설계하는 경우에 contact force를 증가시키기 위해서는 core slot의 폭보다 길이를 길게 하는 것이 바람직하다는 사실을 알 수 있었다.

The motion of an workpiece to be manipulated is determined by the forces applied to the workpiece. During the contact between the robot hand and the workpiece, impulsive forces may dominate all other forces, and determine the ultimate success or failure of a task. Therefore, one of the important problems in the robot hands is the control of the initial impact force. In this paper, the problem of the force control of robot hand under system with contact force is presented. The principle of energy can be applied in the modelling of the impact force. In order to achieve stable contact and avoid bounces and vibrations, VSS is adopted in the design of the contact force controller. Some simulations are carried out for a pushing operation to control the contact force.
