  • An ultra-high pressure treatment device is a device used for increasing the shelf life of food by sterilizing it by applying hydrostatic pressure to solid or liquid food. The ultrahigh pressure treatment system developed in this study is a pressure vessel with a processing capacity of 100 L and a maximum pressure of 700 MPa. Pressure vessels for ultrahigh-pressure processing equipment are manufactured using wire-winding techniques. The design formula for making ultra-high pressure vessels with wire windings is given in ASME Section VIII - Division 3. In this study, the ratio of the cylinder to the winding area that can be applied in a wire-winding application was analyzed using a finite element analysis. Furthermore, the relationship between the variation of the residual stress in the vessel and the ratio of the winding area due to the variation of the winding tension was analyzed, and a design guide applicable to the actual product design was developed. Finally, the design equation was modified by presenting the coefficients to correct the difference between the finite element analysis and the design equation.

  • In this study, a UV-cured GFRP molding is made using a combination of hand lay-up and resin transfer molding, and its properties are analyzed. The molded plates produced using various vacuum pressures (0 mmHg, -450 mmHg, and -760 mmHg) are examined via a comparison of hand lay-up molding and resin transfer molding. Tests are conducted by processing tensile specimens (ASTM D-5083), flexural test specimens (ASTM D-790), and ILSS test specimens (ASTM D-2344) according to each ASTM standard with a molded plate. Similarly, the UV-cured GFRP molding is compared against GFRP using epoxy. It was confirmed that the mechanical strengths of all the specimens increased when the vacuum pressure was increased and when UV curing was applied. This is believed to be because as the vacuum pressure increases, the pores of the cured specimen are removed, thereby reducing defects, and the bonding force between the glass fiber and the resin is stronger than that of the epoxy resin. It is expected that if resin transfer molding methods and UV-cured resins are used for molding GFRP composites in industry, products with better mechanical properties and faster curing time will be produced.

  • Anxiety for employment of workers has been increased due to rapid change of management environment, which tends to increase psychological instability on the job of all workers. Accordingly, this study examined the moderating effect of self-efficacy between job instability and organizational citizenship behavior. The research subjects were employees of small and medium companies in the manufacturing industry in Daejeon-si, Sejong-si and Chungcheongnam-do and Chungcheongbuk-do. 500 sheets of the questionnaire were distributed from August 5, 2015 to August 30, 2015. Among them, 321 were collected with 64.2% of the response rate. Total 312 sheets were used for analysis excluding 9 sheets with incomplete answers. The results are as follows. Firstly, it proved that job instability had negative (-) effect on organizational citizenship behavior. Secondly, in the relation between job instability and organizational citizenship behavior, there was moderating effect of self-efficacy. Accordingly, if self-efficacy of the workers is higher in the threat of job instability, it means organizational citizenship behavior would increase. In conclusion, in the current situation where there is instable survival of corporation and job, the management of small and medium manufacturing company needs to increase self-efficacy through training and internal reward to employees. The limit of the study is that the research subjects were employees of small and medium companies in the manufacturing industry in Daejeon-si, Sejong-si and Chungcheongnam-do and Chungcheongbuk-do. Accordingly, as situational peculiarity may be observed, it is required to have expanded study to more various areas, works and industries.

  • This study analyzed the relationship between ESG performance and corporate value using panel data from Chinese equipment manufacturing companies spanning from 2012 to 2021, and it also examined whether ownership structure moderates this relationship. We have contributed to filling the gap in existing research. The main conclusions of this study are as follows: Firstly, similar to previous researches, ESG performance was found to have a positive and statistically significant impact on corporate value. Secondly, when the three dimensions of ESG - Environmental (E), Social (S), and Governance (G) - were analyzed separately, it was observed that E and S have a positive and statistically significant impact on corporate value, while G has a negative and statistically significant impact. Thirdly, ownership concentration emerged as a significant moderating factor in explaining the connection between ESG performance and corporate value. Lastly, when the three dimensions of ESG were analyzed separately, ownership concentration was found to serve as a positive moderating factor in the relationship between corporate value and E and S, but it did not play a statistically significant role for G.

  • The Mooney-Rivlin second order optimal strain energy function derived through uniaxial tensile test and analysis was applied to a gasket to confirm the internal stress and surface pressure generated during compression. The Taguchi method, a statistical technique, was used to design the optimum shape of the gasket, and through characteristic evaluation, the optimum shape of the gasket was obtained when the reference plane (T: 0.15 mm), contact surface (W: 1.00 mm), and curvature (R: 0.30 mm) were used. It was determined that the optimum shape yields a von Mises stress of 4.83 MPa, and the contact pressure stress is 20.14 MPa, which satisfies breakage and sealing requirements. In the future, we plan to manufacture a jig that can measure surface pressure to conduct comparative verification studies between the test results and analysis results.
