In this study, we evaluate the anisotropic flow of droplets according to the directionality of asperities. We manufacture a mold with an inclined hole by adjusting the jig angle using a high-power diode laser. Using the manufactured mold, we prepare specimens for wettability studies by the micro molding technique. We fabricate twelve kinds of surfaces with micro-asperities inclined at 0°, 15°, 30°, and 45° for asperity pitches of 100 ㎛, 200 ㎛, and 300 ㎛. We evaluate the static and dynamic behaviors of the droplets as a function of the asperities pitch and inclination angles. The anisotropic effect increases as the pitch increases between asperities, and the anisotropic flow characteristics increase as the inclination angle of the asperities increases. On the surface with hole pitches of 100 ㎛ and 200 ㎛, the contact angle of the droplet shows high hydrophobicity at approximately 160°, but on the surface with the 300-㎛ hole pitch, the contact angle is approximately 110°, indicating that the hydrophobic effect rapidly reduces. Additionally, when the inclination angle of the asperities is approximately 30°, the left and right contact angle deviations of the droplet are the lowest, showing that the roll-off angle is relatively low.

최근 로봇 기술의 발전에 따라 모바일 로봇에 대한 연구가 주목을 받고 있다. 현재 모바일 로봇의 대부분은 2륜 및 4륜 기반으로 개발되어 직선 주행에는 강하지만 방향전환 및 제자리 회전에 제한이 있으며, 이러한 문제점을 극복하고자 구 형태의 바퀴를 사용하는 볼 로봇에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 볼 로봇은 협소한 공간에서 큰 제약 없이 이동이 가능하다는 장점을 가지고 있지만, 구조적으로 불안정하여 안정적인 자세 및 주행 제어가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 무선통신으로 자세 및 주행 제어가 가능한 스마트폰 어플리케이션을 제안하고, 이를 적용하여 제작된 볼 로봇을 이용하여 자세 및 주행 제어 실험을 수행하였다. 실험을 통해 Roll 각도 오차 ±0.8도, Pitch 각도 오차 ±0.7도 이내에서 제어됨을 확인하였으며, 1m 주행제어에 대해 x축 방향 위치오차 ±0.1m, y축 방향 위치오차 ±0.08m 이내에서 제어됨을 확인하였다.

Objective: The evidence on the accuracy of bite registration using intraoral scanners is sparse. This study aimed to develop a new method for evaluating bite registration accuracy using intraoral scanners. Methods: Two different types of models were used; 10 stone models and 10 with acrylic resin teeth. A triangular frame with cylindrical posts at each apex (one anterior and two posteriors) was digitally designed and manufactured using three-dimensional (3D) printing. Such a structure was fitted in the lingual space of each maxillary and mandibular model so that, in occlusion, the posts would contact their opposing counterparts, enforcing a small interocclusal gap between the two arches. This ensured no tooth interference and full contact between opposing posts. Bite registration accuracy was evaluated by measuring the distance between opposing posts, with small values indicating high-accuracy. Three intraoral scanners were used: Medit i500, Primescan, and Trios 4. Viewbox software was used to measure the distance between opposing posts and compute roll and pitch. Results: The average maximum error in interocclusal registration exceeded 50 ㎛. Roll and pitch orientation errors ranged above 0.1 degrees, implying an additional interocclusal error of around 40 ㎛ or more. The models with acrylic teeth exhibited higher errors. Conclusions: A method that avoids the need for reference hardware and the imprecision of locating reference points on tooth surfaces, and offers simplicity in the assessment of bite registration with an intraoral scanner, was developed. These results suggest that intraoral scanners may exhibit clinically significant errors in reproducing the interocclusal relationships.

In the current study, finite element analysis was conducted for the press hemming of automotive panels in order to predict various hemming defects such as roll-in and turn down. The analysis used the exact punch movement based on the cam location and considered the sealer between the inner and outer panels with an artificial contact thickness. The analysis results quantify the hemming defects especially at the flange edge in the matching region of the head lamp. A design of experiments along with the parameter study was used to obtain the optimum process parameters for minimizing hemming defects. The optimization process selects the intake angle, bending angle of the hemming punch, and the flange height of the outer panel. The optimum design process determines an appropriate tool angle and flange height to reduce the roll-in and turn-down as compared to the initial design.

The performance of a vertical type centrifugal distributor of granular materials was studied by means of mathematical models and experimental investigations. To develop the mathematical description of particle motion, some assumptions were made. The distribution process consisted of three stages: the entrance of a particle to the blade, the motion of the particle on the blade, and the motion of the particle in the air. The physical properties of fertilizer, which affected the particle motion, were investigated: bluk density, coefficient of friction, coefficient of restitution, and particle size distribution. The particle motion were simulated by using a computer. A prototype distributor was designed and constructed for experimental tests. The following conclusions were drawn from the computer simulation and experiment results. 1. The fertilizer may slide or roll at the point of contact when they impact on the blade and move along the blade. 2. The interaction among fertilizers may prevent them from bouncing. 3. When fertilizers roll on the blade, rolling resistance is one of the factors affecting the particle's motion. 4. The trajectory angle and position of fertilizers from a disc depend on the blade position and particle shape, but the rotating speed of the disc affected them only slightly.

Implicit finite element analysis of the flat surface-straight edge hemming process is performed by using a commercial code ABAQUS/Standard. Methods of finite element modeling for springback simulation and contact pair definition are discussed. An optimal mesh system is chosen through the error analysis that is based on the smoothing of discontinuity in the state variables. This study has focused on the investigation of the influence of process parameters in flanging, pre-hemming and main hemming on final hem quality, which can be defined by turn-down, warp and roll-in. The parameters adopted in this parametric study are flange length, flange angle, flanging die corner radius, face angle and insertion angle of pre-hemming punch, and over-stroke of pre-hemming and main hemming punches.

The lateral behavior of the moving web is critical to the quality of the web products. The alignment of the rollers carrying the web is found to be one of important factors to the lateral behavior of the moving web. But, the study on the effect of the tilting roller in the direction of the normal to the moving web on the lateral behavior has not been reported in the literature yet. For example, the contact roller often contacts the winding roll in a tilted fashion and causes the lateral motion of the winding web, which induces the offset on the wound roll. The lateral dynamics of the moving web induced by a tilted roller in normal direction of a web is investigated in this paper. The two-dimensional dynamic model developed by Shelton is extended to investigate the effect of a titled roller in a normal direction of the moving web on the lateral motion of the moving web. New boundary conditions are developed to solve the extended model. Computer simulation study proved that the model developed can be used to predict the lateral motion of the moving web ？ to a tilted roller in normal direction of the moving web. The lateral deflection is increased exponentially a the tilting angle is increased. As the length of web span is increased, the amount of lateral deflection was increased almost linearly for the same tilting angle. The lateral dynamics turned out to be almost independent to the operating tension. The model developed can be used to solve the offset problem of the staggered winding and also to design a new web guiding mechanism.

This paper presents the experimental as well as analytical study conducted on layer-bonded scrap tire rubber pad (STRP) isolators to develop low-cost seismic isolators applicable to structures in developing countries. The STRP specimen samples were produced by stacking the STRP layers one on top of another with the application of adhesive. In unbonded application, the STRP bearings were placed between the substructure and superstructure without fastening between the contact surfaces which allows roll-off of the contact supports. The vertical compression and horizontal shear tests were conducted with varying axial loads. These results were used to compute the different mechanical properties of the STRP isolators including vertical stiffness, horizontal effective stiffness, average horizontal stiffness and effective damping ratios. The load-displacement relationships of STRP isolators obtained by experimental and finite element analysis results were found to be in close agreement. The tested STRP samples show energy dissipation capacity considerably greater than the natural rubber bearings. The layer-bonded STRP isolators serve positive incremental force resisting capacity up to the shear strain level of 150%.
