Studies on ski-end shape control at the top end of rolling plate in heavy thick plate mill by using FEM analysis and measuring system have been performed. Plate shape behaviour at the top-end on rolling by the two different methods in finishing rolling process has been observed. One is to minimize the height of ski-end by using pass line based on the relational model between shape factor and pick-up and the other one is to prevent turn down problem caused by the impact between table roller and down bended plate on rolling by using roll speed difference. To minimize the height of ski-end, the prediction models based on the FEM analysis and measuring data was developed. The control method of ski - end shape on finishing rolling process was applied in actual mill and the height of ski-end was reduced by about 50% compared with conventional operation.

This study aims to find the shapes of an end-mill with low cutting temperature during the end-mill process of Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Such ${\alpha}-{\beta}$ titanium alloys are increasingly more used for their high tensile strength and high corrosion resistance. The cutting characteristics of Ti-6Al-4V alloy were studied using an analytical method validated by comparing the estimated cutting resistance with that from experiments. The end-mill shape was analyzed using an experimental method. The end-mill shape with low cutting resistance and low cutting temperature was confirmed by analyzing the signal-to-noise ratios for various conditions. Then, the factors with significance factor of 95% or more were determined in the variance analysis. Finally, an end-mill shape that can ensure a low cutting temperature was proposed.

Brake tube is considered one of the most important parts in automobile. The shape of brake tube-end has a great influence on the function of brake, and the quality and productivity of brake tube have relation to die design. The forming process of brake tube-end is peformed by hydraulic press forming machine. In this paper, the forming processes of tube-end for automobile is analyzed and designed to make the optimal form of brake tube-end. Also, finite element analysis has been carried out using DEFORM-3D$\^$TM/ to predict the optimal shape of brake tube-end and the results obtained showed the optimal length between punch and chuck is 1.0 ∼ 1.2mm. The shape of tube-end is in good agreement with the finite element simulations and the experimental results.

The current study focuses on the effect of the end shape of steel pipe piles on installation effort and bearing resistance using the pressing method of installation under dense ground conditions. The effect of pile rotation on the installation effort and bearing resistance is also investigated. The model steel piles with a flat end, cone end and cutting-edge end were used in this study. The test results indicated that cone end pile with the pressing method of installation required the least installation effort (load) and showed higher ultimate resistance than flat and cutting-edge end piles. However, pressing and rotation during cutting-edge end pile installation considerably reduces the installation effort (load and torque) if pile penetration in one rotation equal to the cutting-edge depth. Inclusion of rotation during pile installation reduces the ultimate bearing resistance. However, if penetration of the cutting-edge end pile equal to the cutting-edge depth in one rotation, the reduction in ultimate resistance can be minimized. In comparing the cone and cutting-edge end piles installed with pressing and rotation, the least installation effort is observed in the cutting-edge end pile installed with penetration rate equal to the cutting-edge depth per rotation.

End part of the brake tube formed with the shape of snake head is important for the braking of automobile in safety because it has to prevent crack, fracture and defects occurred during the forming process. Especially, the shape of tube end has influence on the ability of brake. Based on the procedure of process design, in this paper, the forming operation is done by finite element method and the design variables are analyzed by Taguchi method. Design variables such as the outer angle of tube end with the shape of snake head(A), the inner angle to make a hole at tube end with the shape of snake head(B) and the forming distance at tube end(C) are used. Optimization of design variables is performed to minimize the damage factor of the tube end occurred during the forming process. The value of damage factor of 0.327 was obtained under the optimal condition like $A=114^{\circ},\;B=80^{\circ}$ and C=5.3mm, respectively.

The purpose of the present paper is to investigate the optimal shape of the brake tube-end and flare nut for automobiles using the $DEFORM^{TM}-3D$, finite element code. A flare nut is a small and important part used to join a brake tube-end in automobiles. In this instance, we studied the optimal forging processes for the tube-end and flare nut. Finite element analysis has been carried out to predict an optimal shape of the tube-end and flare nut. Also the simulation results were reflected to the forging processes design for the tube-end and flare nut. The shape of the tube-end and flare nut is in agreement with the finite element simulation and the test results.

In this paper we introduced optimized deformed shape to prevent the blood vessel disease caused by the discord of deformed shape in the end-to-end anastomosis. This study considered the preliminary deformed shape induced by suture in the anastomosis of artery and PTFE, artificial blood vessel, with different diameters. Then we analyzed the final deformed shape of the anastomotic part under the systolic blood pressure. 120mmHg(16.0kPa). The final deformed shape of the anstomotic part was analyzed with respect to the change of initial diameter ratio(R$_{I}$) and the PTFE thickness. Equivalent and circumferential stresses induced by the systolic blood pressure in the anastomosis were also analyzed with respect to the initial diameter ratio(R$_{I}$). The results obtained were as follows : 1. Considering the preliminary deformed shape induced by suture and the systolic pressure in the anastomosis, not intimal hyperplasia, the optimal initial diameter ratio(R$_{I}$) was 1.073. 2. As the initial diameter ratio(R$_{I}$) became larger, higher equivalent and circumferential stresses were induced. And all the maximum stresses occurred on the side of PTFE 0.4mm apart from the anastomosis.

Due to the development of CNC machining centers and the complexity of machined part geometry, the ball-end milling became the most widely used the cutting process. Generally, the tool runout defined as the eccentricity of a rotating tool set in the holder involved the spindle runout and the problem of tool runout generated to remove the workpiece is a main factor affecting the machining accuracy. In this paper, the relationship of tool runout(zero-to-peak, P-K) and surface shape on the change of cutting conditions is studied and it is proposed the probability of prediction of surface shape from the in-process tool runout measurements with high response displacement sensor in the ball-end milling

This study aimed at proposing the optimum design of stilling basins in dam spillways by analyzing hydraulic characteristics for various positions and shapes of end sills through the hydraulic model test. The performance of energy dissipating in the case of vertical shape of end sill was much better than the case of inclined shape. Moreover, we could confirm that no further improvement in hydraulic characteristics at stilling basin as well as downstream of the river were made if the height of end sill was increased up EL 50m, e.g., the proposed design value by computation.
