Aluminum die casting is an important manufacturing process for mechanical components. Die casting is known to be more accurate than other types of casting; however, post-machining is usually necessary to achieve the required accuracy. The goal of this investigation is to develop machining- free aluminum die casting. Improvement of the accuracy of planar and cylindrical parts is expected by correcting metal molds. In the proposed method, the shape of cast aluminum made with the initial metal molds is measured by 3D scanning. The 3D scan data includes information about deformations that occur during casting. Therefore, it is possible to estimate the deformation and correction amounts by comparing 3D scan data with product computer-aided design (CAD) data. We corrected planar and cylindrical parts of the CAD data for the mold. In addition, we corrected the planar part of the metal mold using the corrected mold data. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by evaluating the accuracy improvement of the cast aluminum made with the corrected mold.

The properties and weldability of lap joints by PFSW with 1050 Al sheet was investigated according to tool shape. dimension and welding condition. Tensile shear test was carried out for lap jointed specimen, and the hardness in the joint regions was examined. Moreover interfacial joining length, metallograph and failure location of the lap-jointed cross section were discussed. Two tool types were a simple cylindrical type and a notched cylindrical type. Under joining conditions such as plunging depth of 2.2mm. rotating speed of 1600rpm and dwelling time of 3s, the tensile shear strength of lap-jointed specimen by the notched type tool was superior to that by simple cylindrical type tool. The maximum tensile shear load of lap jointed specimen was 5807N. Optimal dimensions of the notched type tool were as follows : diameters of the shoulder and pin were $18{\phi}mm$ and $10{\phi}mm$, and pin length was 2.2mm.

Lightweight concrete (LWC) provides an attractive alternative to conventional piles by improving the durability of deep foundations. In this paper, the drivability of cylindrical and tapered piles made of lightweight and common concrete (CC) under hammer impacts was investigated by performing field tests and numerical analysis. The different concrete mixtures were considered to compare the mechanical properties of light aggregate which replaced instead of the natural aggregate. Driving tests were also conducted on different piles to determine how the pile material and geometric configurations affect driving performance. The results indicated that the tapering shape has an appropriate effect on the drivability of piles and although lower driving stresses are induced in the LWC tapered pile, their final penetration rate was more than that of CC cylindrical pile under hammer impact. Also by analyzing wave propagation in the different rods, it was concluded that the LWC piles with greater velocity than others had better performance in pile driving phenomena. Furthermore, LWC piles can be driven more easily into the ground than cylindrical concrete piles sometimes up to 50% lower hammer impacts and results in important energy saving.

Conventional wind power generators have limited installation sites due to low efficiency due to reverse resistance or high cut-in speed. To compensate for these problems, this study proposed another new type of tilting wind turbine. The key to this method is the structural design of a cylindrical cam with a guide groove that allows the blade to tilt. As the blade rotates by the cam, it tilts according to the angle. In the section that generates torque by receiving drag, the blade is made perpendicular to the wind. And it is a structure that creates a parallel state with the wind in the section where reverse resistance occurs. We prepared six types of cams considering the length of the section subject to drag, reverse resistance, tilting section. The performance was analyzed as the maximum value of the output, torque coefficient, and efficiency coefficient, which is indicated by setting different wind speed and low TSR.

This paper studies the dynamic behavior of laminated composite circular cylindrical shells interacting with a fluid. The mathematical formulation of the dynamic problem for an elastic body is developed based on the variational principle of virtual displacements and the relations of linear elasticity theory. The behavior of an ideal compressible fluid is described by the potential theory, the equations of which together with boundary conditions are transformed to a weak form. The hydrodynamic pressure exerted by the fluid on the internal surface of the shell is calculated according to the linearized Bernoulli equation. The numerical implementation of the mathematical formulation has been done using the semi-analytical finite element method. The influence of the ply angle and lay-up configurations of laminated composites on the natural vibration frequencies and the hydroelastic stability boundary have been analyzed for shells with different geometrical dimensions and under different kinematic boundary conditions set at their edges. It has been found that the optimal value of the ply angle depends on the level of filling of the shell with a fluid. The obtained results support the view that by choosing the optimal configuration of the layered composite material it is possible to change upwards or downwards the frequency and mode shape, as well as the critical velocity for stability loss over a wide range.

This paper presents the results of study of linear oscillating electric machine; Cartesian, cylindrical type with permanent magnet, flux reversal, cylindrical reluctance, and transverse flux type. The focus of the work is the suggestion of the characteristics and design process of propose topology, respectively. First of all, there are five types of the proposed to this study on the basis of the existing literatures; Cartesian type, cylindrical type, flux reversal type, cylindrical reluctance type, and transverse flux type. All topology is achieved using equivalent magnetic circuit considering leakage elements as initial modeling. Cartesian type is investigated by number of phases and number of pole pairs using optimal process. A cylindrical type is described by number of phases and displacement of stroke. The flux reversal type is proposed based on the symmetrical and non symmetrical stator cores of the surface mounted PMs mover, and non slanted PMs and slanted PMs of the flux concentrating PMs mover. A cylindrical reluctance type is studied by the shape of mover teeth in geometric aspect to reduce force ripple and increase magnetic flux. A transverse flux type is considered by dividing the transverse flux electric excited and the transverse flux permanent magnet excited. It is significant that the study gives a design rules and features of linear oscillating electric machine.

It is known that the response of piles is affected by the shape of pile as well as soil conditions. In order to investigate the characteristics of the axial responses and bearing capacities of non-displacement tapered and cylindrical piles in sands, 12 model pile load tests using a calibration chamber were conducted on model tapered and cylindrical piles, which were specially manufactured to measure the base and shaft load capacities independently. Results of the model tests showed that the shaft load of tapered piles continuously increased with pile settlement, whereas the shaft load of cylindrical piles reached ultimate values at a settlement equal to 4% of pile diameter. Therefore, taper piles have greater shaft loads than cylindrical one at the same settlement. It is also observed that the total load capacity of tapered piles is lower than cylindrical piles for dense sand but is greater than that of cylindrical piles for medium sand. The ultimate unit base resistance of tapered piles was greater than that of cylindrical piles for lateral earth pressure ratio greater than 0.4, and the shaft resistance was greater than that of cylindrical piles irrespective of lateral earth pressure ratio.

This paper looks into how the shape of headed bars may influence the durability of reinforced concrete structures. Nowadays the only heads used in site works are cylindrical in shape. An alternative shape of head is studied in this piece of work. The new head reduces the concentration of stresses and so the appearance of cracks. In this work durability is studied based on both, first cracking and failure mode. An experimental campaign of 12 specimens and finite element modelling are described. The specimens were subjected to an accelerated corrosion process using an electrical current supply. Direct current was impressed on the specimens until breaking. Test results and the results obtained from numerical models are presented. Results are presented in term of comparison between the two shapes of heads studied. It was shown that the shape of the head has a significant influence on durability of reinforced concrete structures with headed reinforcing bars.

In this study, the combustion characteristics of hybrid rocket fuel with tapered grain port were studied. The regression rate was increased about 17.5% by using the convergence port shape fuel. On the other hand, in case of divergence port shape fuel, any notable difference of regression rate was not observed when compared with regression rate of the cylindrical port shape fuel. Also, in case of convergence port shape fuel, characteristic velocity efficiency was increased. From these results, one can notice that convergence port shape of hybrid rocket fuel can be effective configuration in terms of improvement of combustion efficiency and performance.
