  • Truss type structures are attractive to a variety of engineering applications on earth as well as in space due to their high stiffness to mass ratios and ease of construction and fabrication. During the service life, an individual member of a truss structure may lose load carrying capacity due to many reasons, which may lead to collapse of the structure. An analytical and computational procedure has been developed to study the response of truss structures subject to member failure under static and dynamic loadings. Emphasis is given to the dynamic effects of member failure and the propagation of local damage to other parts of the structure. The methodology developed is based on nonlinear finite element analysis technique and considers elasto-plastic material nonlinearity, postbuckling of members, and large deformation geometric nonlinearity. The pseudo force approach is used to represent the member failure. Results obtained for a planar nine-bay indeterminate truss undergoing sequential member failure show that failure of one member can initiate failure of several members in the structure.

  • 자동차 개발 단계는, 본질적으로, 수차례의 개발 단계를 거치면서 설계 그룹들 간의 정보 전달과 교환이 여러 차례 반복적으로 발생하게 된다. 이러한 복잡한 상호 정보 교환 과정을 정확하게 이해하여 업무가 수행되지 못하면 불필요한 재작업을 야기시킬 수 있으며, 이는 비용 낭비 및 계획에 차질이 발생할 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 시스템 다이나믹 모델을 개발하여 빈번한 design-built-test 싸이클이 자동차 개발 단계에 미치는 영향 및 이점들을 고찰하였다.

  • In order to better predict the springback for friction stir welded DP590 steel sheet, the combined isotropic-kinematic hardening was formulated with considering the permanent softening behavior during reverse loading. As for yield function, the non-quadratic anisotropic yield function, Yld2000-2d, was used under plane stress condition. For the verification purposes, comparisons of simulation and experiments were performed here for the unconstrained cylindrical bending, the 2-D draw bending tests. For two applications, simulations showed good agreements with experiments.

  • Turbulent temperature field in a channel with wall injection has been investigated using dynamic mixed model(DMM). This flow is pertinent to internal flows inside the hybrid rocket motors. In general, the results obtained with DMM are in better agreement with DNS results compared to those of dynamic Smagorinsky model(DSM). Such favorable features of DMM are attributed to the fact that it explicitly calculates the modified Leonard stress term which takes care of the local interaction between resolved and SGS stresses and only models the remaining cross and SGS Reynolds stress terms.

  • Recently, most machineries have been small size and mobile type. Then the motors used in this field are developed in micro size such as about 2mm in diameter. The structure of this motor is similar to a general brushless DC motor but because of small sige there is no position sensor such as hall sensor. In this paper, we propose synchronous driving and control method for micro brushless DC motor without position sensor. We design and manufacture this controller and perform experiment to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

  • For ultraprecision positioning, the use of the twist roller-type friction drive is proposed. In our study, it is difficult to decrease the resolution of positioning below 100 nm when we use general servo motors. Therefore we propose the feed hive with a small lead like a the cam-roller type traction drive leadscrew and modify it more accurately. By using the semi-loop control system, the positioning resolution of the drive can be 22.4 nm, where the pulse per revolution of the motor is 655360 and the the lead is 0.734 mm.

  • In this paper, the development of the prototype electric vehicle for golf car is described. A brushless dc (BLDC) motor is applied as a prime mover. The BLDC motor is coupled directly to the reduction and differential gear system. The output power of the motor is decided to 2.2Kw at 3000 rpm, which is a general value of the golf car on the market today. The motor is driven by the microprocessor-based 3-phase PWM inverter system. We introduce the performance and functions of the BLDC motor and it's control system.

  • Even though the impact of manufacturing quality to reliability is not considered much as well as that of design area, a major cause of an early failure of the product is known as manufacturing problem. This research applies two different types of neural network algorithms, the Back propagation (BP) algorithm and Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) algorithm, to identify and classify the nonrandom variation pattern on the control chart based on knowledge-based diagnosis of dimensional variation. The performance and efficiency of both algorithms are evaluated to choose the better pattern recognition system for auto body assembly process. To analyze hundred percent of the data obtained by Optical Coordinate Measurement Machine (OCMM), this research considers an application in which individual observations rather than subsample means are used. A case study for analysis of OCMM data in underbody assembly process is presented to demonstrate the proposed knowledge-based pattern recognition system.

  • In order to investigate the formability of friction stir welded(FSW) tailor welded blanks(TWB) with respect to the base material's directional combination, aluminum alloy AA6111-T4 sheets were welded with three different conjoining types: RD-RD, TD-RD and TD-TD. Here, RD and TD represent rolling and transverse directions, respectively. For experimental formability study, three tests with gradual complexity were performed: the simple tension test with various weld line directions for uni-axial elongation, the hemisphere dome stretching test for biaxial stretching and the cylindrical cup deep drawing test. As a result, all three forming tests showed that RD-RD type samples exhibited the best formability, while TD-TD type sheets showed the least formability performance.
