Force is one of the most important variables with welding current and welding time in resistance spot welding. But a good farce control method hasn't been come out on servogun resistance spot welding system. In this study, we prove the feedback current of the servo-motor can be used to an excellent force measuring sensor and the force can be also controlled by the feedback current.

After finding the harmonic components by measuring the thrust force, which affects high accuracy position control during micro-step drive of LPM, the exciting current was calculated to remove them. Also the detent force being induced by magnetic flux density of permanent magnetic was measured. It was comfirmed that the tooth and slot width was designed properly thresh the analysis of detent force.

Most studies of elsatohydrodynamic lubrication are oriented only to the measurement of film thickness itself with optical interferometer. In order to exactly investigate the tribological characteristics of a certain lubricant, it is also important to get the information of traction behaviors as well. In this work, we developed a device for measuring the friction force of ehl contact condition as well as the film thickness. To verify the validity of the measuring system, the friction forces and film thicknesses under ehl condition are simultaneously measured with the variations of additive ratios of viscosity index improvers which cause non-linear tendencies of film thickness to contact velocity.

In this study, it is first intended to simulate the vertical profile of atmospheric flow in a short wind tunnel. In order to accomplish it, proper devices are designed properly to reduce freestream flow momentum and it is confirmed from the measured velocity profile using hot-wire anemometer that momentum flux of the tunnel free stream can be reduced and desired atmospheric boundary can be created. Second, experiments are performed to identify influences of a surrounding structure measuring correct wind velocity by an anemometer, which are located nearby due to area limitation in actual airport and correction factors are proposed from experimental results. One of findings is that in order to limit the velocity attenuation due to a nearby structure under 10%, wind velocity measuring equipment should be installed at least 6 times of the structure height away from the structure of concern.

Running test of the Korean High-Speed Train using remote controlled measuring system have been executed on the high speed track in order to evaluate and verify the performance of the train. In this paper, influencing factors on the contact force which represents dynamic characteristics between the pantograph and contact wire are analyzed, according to the track condition, span type and running condition. By the analytical study on the test data, we figured out that contact force and dynamic characteristics of the pantograph are mainly affected by running behavior of the train and the span distance which the train passes.

Is confirming safety of derailment when wish to develop new vehicles or upgrade running speed of vehicles. This means the measure of wheel load and lateral force that act between wheel and rail. So far, problem in continuous measuring method of derailment coefficient was sensitivity decline and noise growth. This research supplemented these problems by composition of new bridge circuit.

Driver fatigue is a major cause of fatal road accidents and has significant implications in road safety. In recent years, researchers have investigated steering wheel grip force as an alternative method to detect driver fatigue noninvasively and in real time. In this study, a fatigue detection system was developed by monitoring the grip force and changes in the grip force were measured while participants' engaged in an interactive simulated driving task. The study also measured the participants' subjective sleepiness to ensure the validity of measuring grip force. The results indicated that while participants engaged in a driving task, steering wheel grip force decreased and subjective sleepiness increased concurrently over time. The possible applications of the driver fatigue detection system by steering wheel grip force and future guidelines are discussed.

While a cutting tool is machining a workpiece at various cutting depth, the feedrate is usually selected based on the maximum depth of cut. Even if this selection can avoid power saturation or tool breakage, it is very conservative compared to the capacity of the machine tools and can reduce the productivity significantly. Many adaptive control techniques that can adjust the feedrate to maintain the constant cutting force have been reported. However, these controllers are not very widely used in manufacturing industry because of the limitations in measuring the cutting force signals. In this paper, turning force control systems based on the estimated cutting force signals are proposed. A synthesized cutting force monitor is introduced to estimate the cutting force as accurately as a dynamometer does. Three control strategies of PI, adaptive and fuzzy logic controllers are applied to investigate the feasibility of utilizing the estimated cutting force fur turning force control. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed systems can be easily realized in CNC lathe with requiring little additional hardware.

The principle of crimping connection is to produce a compressive connection force between terminal and cores(wire conductor). Compressive connection force is produced by pushing each other on that stress(crimping force) of barrel by restored elastic strain after plastic deformation and the expansion force of cores' elastic stress. And resistance and tension force between terminal and cores are determined according to the condition of compressive connection force. In this study, we've found out that the adaptive height which has maximum tensile force by measuring a tensile force with a height of terminal.
