In this paper, We develop performance evaluation model for Twin fork Automated Storage/Retrieval systems. The system is modeled as a modified bulk service queueing system consisting of one exponential server with limited system capacity. The differance between this model and general bulk service queueing model is the inequality of transition service rate of each stage. The ejective of this model is to provide system characteristics for Twin fork AS/R system design problems, which are the number of customers in system, wait time in system and queue, the system queue size.

A bicycle is one of the most popular sporting goods in view of a sport activity and a human health. Metallic materials such as steel, aluminum, etc. were mainly used to the bicycle fork in the past. Nowadays, the carbon fiber reinforced composite materials are widely used to the manufacturing of a bicycle fork to reduce the weight and to increase the efficiency. Safety is a most important design parameter of a bicycle fork even if the weight and cost reduction are important. Bicycle failure may happen at the critical spot of a bicycle fork and cause the accident. In this paper, the composite bicycle fork will be analyzed to secure the safety and detect a critical spot by using the finite element method with Tsai-Wu failure criterion. The stress data were obtained for the laminated composites with various number of plies and fiber orientation under the bending load. Thus, design concept of a bicycle fork was proposed to secure the safety of a bicycle. The finite element analysis results show that the connection area between a steer tube and a fork blade is critical spot, and 75 or more layers of 0 degree are needed to secure the safety of a bicycle fork.

An unconstrained tuning fork with a 3-D model has been numerically analyzed by Finite Element Method (FEM) and Boundary Element Method (BEM). The first three natural frequencies were calculated by the FEM modal analysis. Then the change of the modal frequencies was examined with the variation of the tuning fork length and width. Analytical model equations were derived from the numerically relating results of the modal frequency-tuning fork length by approximating minimization. Finally the BEM was used for the sound pressure field calculation from the structural displacement data.

본 논문은 조립과 분리시스템이 혼합된 Fork-and-Join 시스템에서의 일정계획문제를 고려하고 있다. 최초 단계에서는 구성품단위로 분리가 발생하고 두 번째 단계에서는 부품생산단계에서 각 부품 또는 구성품이 서로 다른 설비와 경로를 통해 독립적으로 생산된 후 최종 조립단계로 이동하게 되고, 그곳에서 조립공정을 통해 제품으로 완성된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 Fork-and-Join 시스템에서 최종완료시간(makespan)을 최소화 할 수 있는 발견적 해법을 제안하고 이 해법의 최악오차한계(worst-case error bound)가 2라는 것을 증명한다. 또한, 제안된 문제의 효과적인 3가지 하한값(lower bound)을 제시하고 다양한 수치실험을 통해 제안된 발견적 해법의 결과와 하한값과의 비교를 통해 제안된 해법이 성능이 우수함을 증명한다.

A rate gyroscope has been used popularly to measure the angular motion of a given vehicle using a symmetric rotor spinning rapidly about its symmetry axis. Since the rapid rotation is required in this type of gyroscope, the motor has been used to make the rotor spin, so that it results in a heavy configuration. The toning-fork gyroscope has been developed to avoid this problem, which utilizes a Coriolis coupling term and vibration about one axis. Due to the Coriolis effect, the vibration of one axis is transferred to other axis when the angular motion along the vibrating axis is given to the system. The concept of a tuning-fork gyroscope was recently realized using MEMS techniques. However, the dynamic characteristics of the tuning-fork gyroscope has not been discussed in detail. In this study. we derived the equations of motion for the tuning-fork type gyroscope using the energy approach and investigated the dynamic characteristics by means of numerical analysis.

An experimental Investigation of the basic characteristics of a micro-cantilever sensor was performed by inspecting the amplitude and frequency characteristics of a commercial tuning fork (TF). Application of acetone and ethanol with a volume of $1{\mu}l$ on the tine of a vibrating tuning fork causes immediate response in its amplitude and frequency characteristics. It has been shown that the tuning fork has ability to recognize a chemical agent with high sensitivity. The theoretical sensitivity of mass loading is in the range of $\~0.1Hz/ng$. Quartz tuning forks are routinely made using standard microfabrication process, thus suggesting the possibility of microfabrication of micro quart sensors.
