In the air current pulverizing type grinding method, the blade wings fitted inside a casing are rotated at a high speed to generate a cornering air current, which facilitates the collision of materials with one another, leading to the pulverizing phenomenon. In contrast to mechanical grinding, grit pulverizing leads to fine grinding and less acid waste and degeneration of the material. Moreover, this approach prevents the loss of nutritional value, while allowing the milling grain to have an excellent texture. However, the existing air current pulverizing type machines consist of prefabricated blades, which cannot be rotated at a speed higher than 5,000 rpm. Consequently, the grinding process becomes time consuming with a low productivity. To overcome these problems, in this study, the shape and structure of the air current pulverizing type wings were optimized to allow rapid grinding at more than 8,000 rpm. Moreover, the optimal design for the ripening parts for the air current pulverizing type device was determined by performing a computational fluid dynamics analysis based on airflow analyses to produce machinery that can grinding materials to the order of micrometers.

Ice crushing occurs in many situations that involve a sliding frictional component such as sports involving ice-contact, ice interaction with ship hulls, and ice-on-ice sliding/crushing within glaciers and between interacting sea ice floes. Ice crushing-friction tests were conducted in the lab at $-10^{\circ}C$ using a set of acrylic ice-crushing platens that included a flat smooth surface and a variety of high-roughness surfaces with regular arrays of small prominences. The experiments were part of Phase II tests of the Blade Runners technology for reducing ice-induced vibration. Ice was crushed against the platens where the ice movement had both a vertical and a horizontal component. High-speed imaging through the platens was used to observe the ice contact zone as it evolved during the tests. Vertical crushing rates were in the range 10-30 mm/s and the horizontal sliding rates were in the range 4.14-30 mm/s. Three types of freshwater ice were used. Friction coefficients were extraordinarily low and were proportional to the ratio of the tangential sliding rate and the normal crushing rate. For the rough surfaces all of the friction coefficient variation was determined by the fluid dynamics of a slurry that flowed through channels that developed between leeward-facing facets of the prominences and the moving ice. The slurry originated from a highly-lubricating self-generating squeeze film of ice particles and melt located between the encroaching intact ice and the surfaces.

This study was carried out to develop a vine crusher for harvesting sweet potato. The experimental two-row vine crusher attachable to agricultural tractor composed of vine crushing part with frail type vine crushing blades and vine lifting blades, power transmission part with chain and gear transmission mechanism, crushing height control part with two control wheels and manual levers, and implement frames, was designed and fabricated. And this vine crushing performance was also analyzed. From vine crushing tests, backward travel direction (i.e., rotational direction of the vine crushing blades) showed better vine crushing performance than forward travel direction. Crushing ratio of remained vine was increased, and length of remained vine and length of crushed vine were decreased as working speed was decreased and rotational speed of vine crushing blades was increased. At a working speed of 0.27 m/s and rotational speed of vine crushing blades of 800 rpm, crushing ratio of remained vine was 98%, length of remained vine was 104 mm, and length of crushed vine was 327 mm. But, when crushing vine on irregular ridges, vines and mulching vinyl were wound in the vine crushing part. Therefore, change of location of power transmission chain mechanism, and an automatic control device for controlling crushing height were needed.

The purpose of this study is to develop high-speed rotary tillage system for a power tiller by improving the rotary blade and the power train of transmission. Mechanical structure of gear train of rotary drive of conventional power tiller was simplified so that power can be transmitted directly from second shaft to tilling speed change shaft by rotating freely the transfer gear which changes the direction of rotation of shafts using needle bearing installed into middle shaft. A new gear train suitable for the single-edged rotary blade and high-speed rotary drive was developed with the rotational speed of rotary shaft faster than 7.5% at 1st-speed and 1.4% at 2nd-speed the one of conventional system by changing the numbers of teeth of gears of middle shaft, tilling speed change shaft and PTO shaft. Using the developed gear train for high-speed rotary drive, field tests were performed to compare tillage performances by the developed single-edged blade and by the conventional double-edged blade. The results showed that the performances by the single-edged blade compared with the one by the double-edged blade was improved about 18% in field capacity, about 34% in fuel consumption, and 9.4% in soil crushing ratio. Therefore, it may be concluded that tillage performance by the single-edged blade was improved compared to the one by the conventional blade. Evaluation of the developed system consisting of single-edged blade and gear train for high-speed rotary drive in field revealed that tillage performance of the developed system was similar to the one of field test conducted using the system consisting of single-edged blade and gear train for rotary drive of conventional power tiller However, considering the higher cone index of the upland field where evaluation was carried out compare to the one of the ordinary paddy field, it may be concluded that tillage performance of the developed rotary tilling system better than the one of conventional system.

This research was Performed to raise grade efficiency of Sturtevant type air classifier. to treat powder less than $74\mu\textrm{m}$ particle produced at the crushing process of the dry aggregates manufacturing system or concrete wastes recycling system. The experimental conditions were in the ranges. 0.85 to 5.15 $m^3$/s of primary air flow rate. 0.005 to 0.015 $m^3$/s of secondary air flow rate $30^{\circ}$ to $70^{\circ}$ of auxiliary blades angle. respectively. for 1.7~3.3 kg/min of the powder feed rate. It was found that the grade efficiency of the air classifier was increased as the baffle plate was attached at the expansion region. and the optimal operating conditions of the air flow rates and the blade angle were obtained. The fractional recovery curves from the experiments were well agreement with the theoretical one of Molerus model.

재래식 두부정리 작업은 노동 집약적이며 노무자간의 숙련도 차이에 의해 품질 및 작업 생산성이 크게 영향을 받고 있다. 국내 $\cdot$ 외에서는 두부정리 작업의 생산성 및 안전성, 품질을 향상시키기 위해 자동화 장비를 개발 중에 있으나 기존에 개발된 두부정리 자동화 장비는 파일 파쇄 작업만을 자동화 대상으로 하고 있고, PHC 파일에 종방향 균열을 발생시켜 두부정리 작업의 품질을 크게 저하시키고 있는 실정이었다. 기존 두부정리 자동화 장비가 PHC 파일에 종방향 균열을 발생시키는 원인은 PHC 파일의 물리적 특성을 고려한 자동화 장비 말단장치의 설계 및 제작, 배치가 제대로 이루어지지 못한 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 기존에 개발된 두부정리 자동화 장비 및 본 연구를 통해 현재까지 개발된 두부정리 자동화 장비 파일롯타입의 실험결과를 토대로 PHC 파일을 종방향 균열 없이 효과적으로 파쇄할 수 있는 두부정리 자동화 장비 프로토타입의 말단장치를 개발하고자 한다.

최근 국내 $\cdot$ 외의 경우 기성 콘크리트 파일(PHC) 두부정리 작업의 생산성, 안전성 및 품질 향상을 위해 자동화 장비를 개발중에 있다. 그러나 기존에 개발된 두부정리 자동화 장비는 두부정리 전 작업과정 중 파일 파쇄만을 자동화 대상 작업으로 하고 있고, 파일 파쇄를 위한 말단장치(end-effector) 설계의 오류로 종 방향 균열을 발생시키는 등 문제점이 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 기존 두부정리 자동화 장비가 PHC 파일에 종 방향 균열을 발생시키는 원인은 PHC 파일의 물리적 특성을 고려한 자동화 장비 말단장치의 설계 및 제작, 배치가 제대로 이루어지지 못했기 때문인 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 최근 국내에서 개발 중인 PHC 파일 두부정리 자동화 장비의 파일롯타입(pilot type)을 대상으로 다양한 형태의 말단장치를 설계 및 제작하고, 실험실 실험을 통해 최적의 말단장치 조합을 제안함으로써 종 방향 균열 없이 PHC 파일 두부를 효과적으로 그라인딩하고 파쇄할 수 있도록 하는 자동화 장비의 프로토타입을 제시하는 것이다. 본 연구를 통해 제시된 PHC 파일 두부정리 자동화 장비가 개발되어 현장에 적용될 경우, 기존 두부정리 작업의 생력화를 통한 품질, 안전성, 생산성 향상 및 이를 통한 경제성 확보가 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
