A mathematical model of slip-in booster separation dynamics is described. A longitudinal 3-DOF(degree of freedom) 2-body dynamic model is developed to simulate the separation dynamics. Aerodynamic models of the missile and the exposed area of booster are built. And, gas generator pushing the booster out and internal channel pressure drop are modelled. To simulate the model, it is assumed that the missile can maintain the 1g level-fight condition during the separation. With this assumption, the interaction forces between missile and booster through the separation phases: phase 0: initial, phase 1: linear translation, and phase 2: free flight motion are defined. Using the simulation, missile flight conditions for slip-in booster`s safe separation, which can be represented by Mach vs. height envelope, are suggested.

This paper proposes a new type of MR (magentorheological) fluid based suspension system and applies it to military vehicle for vibration control. The suspension system consists of gas spring and MR damper. The nonlinear behavior of spring characteristics is evaluated with respect to the wheel travel and damping force model due to viscosity and yield stress of MR fluid is derived. Subsequently, a military vehicle of 6WD is adopted for the integration of the MR suspension system and its nonlinear dynamic model is establishes by considering vertical, pitch and roll motion. Then, a sky-hook controller associated with semi-active actuating condition is designed to reduce the vibration. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed MR suspension system, computer simulation is undertaken showing vibration control performance such as roll angle and pitch angle evaluated under bump and random road profiles.

The characteristics of combustion process in an internal combustion engine are affected by the mixing process between injected fuel and ambient gas. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the mixture formation process of diesel spray. In this study, the spray structure was visualized by the exciplex fluorescence method, which can provide the simultaneous 2-D images of vapor and liquid phase in inner spray. For accurate investigation, the liquid-phase images were recorded with a 35mm still camera and CCD camera. Consequentially, it could be confirmed that the high-concentration vapor phase is formed in the region of spray tip and the edge of the liquid phase where droplets exist in the evaporating diesel spray, and the formed vapor is spread by diffusion. Also, the distribution of vapor is determined by the motion of droplets that exist in the edge of the liquid phase and the spray-tip region.

Recently, the interest of the engine capacity and environment of the atmosphere is increasing, so the researches for the engine capacity have been conducted for a long time. But the internal environment of an automotive engine is very severe. A piston is exposed to combustion gas of over $2000^{\circ}C$ and strong friction is occurred by high speed motion in the cylinder. The fraction between piston and wall of the cylinder causes the increase of temperature in the engine. The temperature of the engine has an effect on the engine capacity. If the temperature is high, the capacity of the engine is low. So we have to maintain the optimum temperature. To maintain the optimum temperature, the enough flow rate of the engine oil is needed. The oil jet is used to control the flow rate of the engine oil and supply the engine oil to the piston and cylinder. The purpose of this study is to check the mass flow rate of the engine oil and the characteristics of internal flow of the oil jet. Flow pattern of the engine oil is very important because it concludes the loss in the oil jet. This study is the previous research about the oil jet and we will consider the movement of the ball check valve to get more accuracy result.

Ring and cylinder bore wear may not be a problem in most current automotive engines. However, a small change in ring face and cylinder bore diameter can significantly affect the lubrication characteristics and ring axial motion. This in turn can cause to change inter-ring pressure, blow-by and oil consumption in an engine. Therefore, by predicting the wear of piston ring face and cylinder bore altogether, the changed ring end gap and the changed volume of gas reservoir can be calculated. Then the excessive oil consumption can be predicted. Here, the oil amount through top ring gap into combustion chamber is estimated as engine oil consumption. Furthermore, the wear theories of ring and cylinder bore are included. The changed oil consumption caused by the new end gap and the new volume of oil reservoir around second land, can be calculated at some engine running interval. Meanwhile, the wear amount and oil consumption occurred during engine durability cycle are compared with the calculated values. The wear data of rings and cylinder bore are obtained from three engines after engine durability test. The calculated wear data of each part are turn out to be around the band of averaged test values or a little below. It is shown that the important factor regarding oil consumption increasement is the wear of ring face.

Bikers can be subjected to injuries from unexpected accidents even if they wear basic helmets. A properly designed airbag can efficiently protect the critical areas of the human body. This study introduces a wearable smart airbag system using machine learning techniques to protect human neck and shoulders. When a bicycle accident happens, a microprocessor analyzes the biker's motion data to recognize if it is a critical accident by comparing with accident classification models. These models are trained by a variety of possible accidents through machine learning techniques, like k-means and SVM methods. When the microprocessor decides it is a critical accident, it issues an actuation signal for the gas inflater to inflate the airbag. A protype of the wearable smart airbag with the machine learning techniques is developed and its performance is tested using a human dummy mounted on a moving cart.

This paper describes a new vibration-suppression technique for flexible cantilevered structures by using a pipe containing an internal flow. The stability and dynamic response are analyzed based on the finite element method. The flutter limit and optimum stabilizing fluid velocity are determined in root locus diagrams. The impulse responses of the system are studied by the mode superposition method to observe the damping rate of the motion. The stabilizing effect of an internal flow is demonstrated by impulse responses of the structures with and without an material damping. It is found that the response of the pipe with flow of liquid has a larger effect of, stabilizing than that with flow of gas.

Propagation phenomena of nonlinear pressure waves in a bubbly mixture are studied. The governing equations for a bubbly mixture are derived heuristically and energy equation is incorporated with other governing equations to take thermal effects into consideration inside the bubble. This non-isothermal condition of the bubble inside is especially important when high amplitude pressure waves are treated. Keller's equation is adapted for the bubble dynamics as practical problem. Some numerical simulations are carried out for the shock tube problem using a computer program based on the above model. A comparison with experimental results of Noordzij and van Wijngaarden shows that the structure of the wave in the shock tube experiment seems to be much more significantly affected 요 the complex heat transfer phenomena inside the bubbles than by the relative translational motion between bubbles and surrounding liquid.

The burning characteristics of interacting droplets with internal circulation in a convective flow are numerically investigated at various particle arrangement and size difference. In this simulation some conditions are fixed, surround gas temperature is 1250K, pressure is 10 atm and drolet's initial temperature is 300K. The transient combustion of arranged droplets, the fixed droplet distances of 4 radii to 20 radii horizontally, is studied. And the range of size of droplet is 75${\mu}m$ to 100${\mu}m$. The results obtained from the present numerical analysis reveal that the transient flame configuration and retardation of droplet internal motion with the horizontal spacing substantially influence lifetime of interacting droplets. At a Reynolds number 10, lifetime of the three droplets with decreasing horizontal droplet spacing increases monotonically. But when droplet spacing decreases further to 4radii, Lifetime of interacting droplets are increase. So Lifetime of interacting droplets exhibits a strong dependence on the horizontal droplet spacing and size difference. It can be investigated well with these conditions to that of single burning droplet.

While variable valve actuation or variable valve lift (VVL) is used increasingly in spark ignition (SI) engines to improve the volumetric efficiency or to reduce the pumping losses, it is necessary to understand the impact of variable valve lift and timing on the in-cylinder gas motions and mixing processes. In this paper, characteristics of the in-cylinder flow and fuel distribution for various valve lifts (4, 6, 8, 10 mm) were simulated in a GDI engine. It is expected that the investigation will be helpful in understanding and improving GDI combustion when a VVL system is used. The CFD results showed that a increased valve lift could significantly enhance the mixture and in-cylinder tumble motion because of the accelerated air flow. Also, it can be found that the fuel distribution is more affected by earlier injection (during intake process) than that of later injection (end of compression). These may contribute to an improvement in the air-fuel mixing but also to an optimization of intake and exhaust system.
