The reduction of drag torque is an important research issue in terms of improving transmission efficiency. Drag torque in a wet clutch occurs because of the viscous drag generated by the transmission fluid in a narrow gap (clearance) between the friction plate and a separate plate. The objective of this paper is to observe the effects of the friction plate area and the clearance on the drag torque using finite element simulation. The two-phase flow of air and oil fluid is considered and modeled for the simulation. The simulation analysis reveals that as the rotational speed increases, the drag torque generally increases to a critical point and then decreases sharply at a high speed regime. The clearance between the two plates plays an important role in controlling drag torque peak. An increase in the clearance causes a decrease in shear stress; thus, the drag torque also decreases according to Newton's law of viscosity. An observation of the effect of the area of contact between transmission fluid and friction plate shows that the drag torque increases with the contact area. The flow vectors inside the flow channel present clear evidence that the velocity of the fluid flows is faster with a larger friction plate, that is, in the case of a larger contact area. Therefore, the optimum size of the friction plate should be determined carefully, considering both the clutch performance and drag reduction. It is expected that the results from this study can be very useful as a database for clutch design and to predict the drag torque for the initial design with respect to various clutch parameters.

Coal and gas outburst is a serious dynamic disaster that occurs during coal mining and threatens the lives of coal miners. Currently, coal and gas outburst is commonly predicted using single indicator and its critical value. However, single indicator is unable to fully reflect all of the factors impacting outburst risk and has poor prediction accuracy. Therefore, a more accurate prediction method is necessary. In this work, we first analyzed on-site impacting factors and precursors of coal and gas outburst; then, we constructed a Fisher discriminant analysis (FDA) index system using the gas adsorption index of drilling cutting ${\Delta}h_2$, the drilling cutting weight S, the initial velocity of gas emission from borehole q, the thickness of soft coal h, and the maximum ratio of post-blasting gas emission peak to pre-blasting gas emission $B_{max}$; finally, we studied an FDA-based multiple indicators discriminant model of coal and gas outburst, and applied the discriminant model to predict coal and gas outburst. The results showed that the discriminant model has 100% prediction accuracy, even when some conventional indexes are lower than the warning criteria. The FDA method has a broad application prospects in coal and gas outburst prediction.

나노-시멘트 복합체는 나노재료 분산 불량 및 제작과정 불량으로 인하여 내부에 결함이 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 내부 결함은 나노-시멘트 복합체에 치명적인 문제를 야기할 수 있으나 국내외에서의 나노-시멘트 복합체 내부의 결함 크기에 따른 비파괴 분석 관련 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 본 연구는 초음파와 전기저항을 활용하여 나노-시멘트 복합체의 비파괴 분석을 수행하고자 한다. 시편 내부의 결함은 다양한 크기로 구현되었으며, 시편은 양생일 및 결함 크기에 따라 초음파 비파괴 분석과 전기저항 비파괴 분석이 수행되었다. 실험 결과, 초음파 전파 속도는 결함 크기가 증가할수록 최대 11% 감소하였으며, 전기저항은 결함 크기에 따라 최대 14%까지 증가하였다. 이러한 이유로 초음파와 전기저항을 이용한 비파괴 분석을 활용하여 나노-시멘트 복합체 내부의 결함을 예측할 수 있는 것으로 판단된다.

In the modern industrial period, the introduction of mass production was most important progress in civilization. Die-casting process is one of main methods for mass production in the modern industry. The aluminum die-casting in the mold filling process is very complicated where flow momentum is the high velocity of the liquid metal. Actually, it is almost impossible in complex parts exactly to figure the mold filling performance out with the experimental knowledge. The aluminum die-castings are important processes in the automotive industry to produce the lightweight automobile bodies. Due to this condition, the simulation is going to be more critical role in the design procedure. Simulation can give the best solution of a casting system and also enhance the casting quality. The cost and time savings of the casting layout design are the most advantage of Computer Aided Engineering (CAE). Generally, the relations of casting conditions such as injection system, gate system, and cooling system should be considered when designing the casting layout. Due to the various relative matters of the above conditions, product defects such as defect extent and location are significantly difference. In this research by using the simulation software (AnyCasting), CAE simulation was conducted with three layout designs to find out the best alternative for the casting layout design of an automotive Oil Pan_BJ3E. In order to apply the simulation results into the production die-casting mold, they were analyzed and compared carefully. Internal porosities which are caused by air entrapments during the filling process were predicted and also the results of three models were compared with the modifications of the gate system and overflows. Internal porosities which are occurred during the solidification process are predicted with the solidification analysis. And also the results of the modified gate system are compared.

지진 시 댐에 여유고 이상의 과도한 침하가 발생하는 경우 댐의 붕괴로 이어질 수 있다. 댐의 침하는 댐의 손상 예측에 중요한 지표로 사용되는 횡균열 폭과 깊이에 높은 상관성을 가진 것으로 알려져 있으므로 댐의 손상 평가에서 정확한 침하량 예측이 중요하다. 국내에서는 국외에서 수치해석을 통하여 도출된 경험적인 식이 댐의 손상 평가에 널리 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 필댐으로 분류되는 콘크리트 표면차수벽 석괴댐(CFRD)과 코어형 석괴댐(ECRD) 대표 단면에 대한 2차원 비선형 동적 해석을 수행하여 댐마루의 침하량을 계산하였다. 입력지진파의 지진강도와 지진규모 등의 영향을 복합적으로 고려하기 위하여 20개의 계측기록을 해석에 사용하였다. 수치해석으로 계산된 결과를 바탕으로 댐마루 침하량을 예측하기 위해 지진파의 최대지반가속도, 최대지반속도, Arias Intensity, 지진규모와의 상관관계를 도출하였다. 평가 결과, 최대지반가속도에 추가적인 변수를 사용할 경우, 상관성이 크게 향상되는 것으로 나타났다.

현대 대잠전에 있어 잠수함에 대한 2차원 위치추정에 다양한 방법들이 있다. 잠수함에 대한 보다 효과적인 추적 및 공격을 위해 표적 심도는 매우 중요한 요소이다. 하지만 현재까지도 잠수함의 심도를 찾아낸다는 것은 어려운 일이다. 본 논문에서는 최단접근점(Closest Point of Approach, CPA) 전후의 표적 접촉방위와 표적 도플러 신호 등 다이파 소노부이 접촉정보를 이용한 잠수함 심도 추정 기법을 제안하고자 한다. 표적의 상대심도는 표적과 다이파 소노부이의 청음기 간 사선거리 및 수평거리에 피타고라스 정리를 적용하여 결정된다. 이때 사선거리는 도플러변이와 표적 속도에 의해서 계산되며, 수평거리는 표적에 대한 연속된 접촉방위와 표적의 이동거리에 삼각함수를 적용하여 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제시된 알고리즘의 성능은 소노부이-표적 간 수평거리 및 상대심도에 의해 결정되는 고각과 도플러 변이 값의 측정 정확성에 의해 좌우됨을 시뮬레이션을 통해 알 수 있다.

This paper presents the Campbell diagram analysis of the rotordynamic system using the full order model (FOM) and the reduced order model (ROM) techniques to determine the critical speeds, identify the stability and reduce the computational time. Due to the spin-speed-dependent matrices (e.g., centrifugal stiffening matrix), several model order reduction (MOR) techniques may be considered, such as the modal superposition (MS) method and the Krylov subspace-based MOR techniques (e.g., Ritz vector (RV), quasi-static Ritz vector (QSRV), multifrequency quasi-static Ritz vector (MQSRV), multifrequency/ multi-spin-speed quasi-static Ritz vector (MMQSRV) and the combined Ritz vector & modal superposition (RV+MS) methods). The proposed MMQSRV method in this study is extended from the MQSRV method by incorporating the rotational-speed-dependent stiffness matrices into the Krylov subspace during the MOR process. Thus, the objective of this note is to respond to the question of whether to use the MS method or the Krylov subspace-based MOR technique in establishing the Campbell diagram of the shaft-disc-blade assembly systems in three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis (FEA). The Campbell diagrams produced by the FOM and various MOR methods are presented and discussed thoroughly by computing the norm of relative errors (ER). It is found that the RV and the MS methods are dominant at low and high rotating speeds, respectively. More precisely, as the spinning velocity becomes large, the calculated ER produced by the RV method is significantly increased; in contrast, the ER produced by the MS method is smaller and more consistent. From a computational point of view, the MORs have substantially reduced the time computing considerably compared to the FOM. Additionally, the verification of the 3D FE rotordynamic model is also provided and found to be in close agreement with the existing solutions.

Metal pipes are used in a wide range of applications, from plumbing systems of large construction sites to small devices such as medical tools. When a liquid is enforced to flow through a metal pipe, a higher flow rate is beneficial for higher efficiency. Using high pressures can enhance the flow rate yet can be harmful for medical applications. Thus, we consider an optimal geometrical design to increase the flow rate in medical devices. In this study, we focus on cannulas, which are widely used small metal pipes for surgical procedures, such as liposuction. We characterize the internal flow rate driven by a negative pressure and explore its dependence on the key design parameters. We quantitatively analyze the suction characteristics for each design variable by conducting computational fluid dynamics simulations. In addition, we build a suction performance measurement system which enables the translational motion of cannulas with pre-programmed velocity for experimental validation. The inner diameter, section geometry, and hole configuration are the design factors to be evaluated. The effect of the inner diameter dominates over that of section geometry and hole configuration. In addition, the circular tube shape provides the maximum flow rate among the elliptical geometries. Once the flow rate exceeds a critical value, the rate becomes independent of the number and width of the suction holes. Finally, we introduce a slippery liquid-infused nanoporous surface (SLIPS) coating using nanoparticles and hydrophobic lubricants that effectively improves the flow rate and antifouling property of cannulas without altering the geometrical design parameter.

Space nuclear reactors are becoming popular in deep space exploration owing to their advantages of high-power density and stability. Following the fourth-generation nuclear reactor technology, a conceptual design of the dual drum-controlled space molten salt reactor (D²-SMSR) is proposed. The reactor concept uses molten salt as fuel and heat pipes for cooling. A new reactivity control strategy that combines control drums and safety drums was adopted. Critical physical characteristics such as neutron energy spectrum, neutron flux distribution, power distribution and burnup depth were calculated. Flow and heat transfer characteristics such as natural convection, velocity and temperature distribution of the D²-SMSR under low gravity conditions were analyzed. The reactivity control effect of the dual-drums strategy was evaluated. Results showed that the D²-SMSR with a fast spectrum could operate for 10 years at the full power of 40 kWth. The D²-SMSR has a high heat transfer coefficient between molten salt and heat pipe, which means that the core has a good heat-exchange performance. The new reactivity control strategy can achieve shutdown with one safety drum or three control drums, ensuring high-security standards. The present study can provide a theoretical reference for the design of space nuclear reactors.
