An UET (ultrasound excited thermography) has been used for several years for a remote non-destructive testing in the automotive and aircraft industry. It provides a thermo sonic image for a defect detection. A thermograhy is based On a propagation and a reflection of a thermal wave, which is launched from the surface into the inspected sample by an absorption of a modulated radiation. For an energy deposition to a sample, the UET uses an ultrasound excited vibration energy as an internal heat source. In this paper the applicability of the UET for a realtime defect detection is described. Measurements were performed on two kinds of pipes made from a copper and a CFRP material. In the interior of the CFRP pipe (70mm diameter), a groove (width - 6mm, depth - 2.7mm, and length - 70mm) was engraved by a milling. In the case of the copper pipe, a defect was made with a groove (width - 2mm, depth - 1mm, and length - 110 mm) by the same method. An ultrasonic vibration energy of a pulsed type is injected into the exterior side of the pipe. A hot spot, which is a small area around the defect was considerably heated up when compared to the other intact areas, was observed. A test On a damaged copper pipe produced a thermo sonic image, which was an excellent image contrast when compared to a CFRP pipe. Test on a CFRP pipe with a subsurface defect revealed a thermo sonic image at the groove position which was a relatively weak contrast.

본 논문에서는 압력용기의 밀봉성과 밀접한 관계를 맺고 있는 O-링 그루브 형상의 온도분포와 변형거동 특성에 대한 연구를 수행하고자 한다. 압력용기에 작용하는 온도는 히터에 의해 가열되고, 압력은 가스 압축기에 의해 가압된다. 결국, 압력용기는 제한된 작업기간동 안 높은 압력과 높은 온도를 유지해야 한다 이러한 작동조건에서 압력용기의 가스는 구형 그루브에 설치된 두 개의 O-링에 의해 대기중으로 누출되지 말아야 한다. 유한요소해석 결과에 의하면, 압력용기의 밀봉성을 확보하기 위해서는 메탈 시일 소재의 열적, 기계적 특성이 대단히 우수해야 한다는 사실을 지적하고 있다 즉, 메탈 시일 소재는 높은 열전도 계수와 낮은 기계적 강도를 유지해야 밀봉성을 유지하는데 유리하다. 이러한 소재는 O-링을 설치하는 구형 그루브의 밀봉간극이나 그루브의 폭을 줄여줄 수 있기 때문에 압력용기의 밀봉특성을 향상시키게 된다.

In this paper hydrodynamic lubrication analysis is carried out to investigate the effects of groove location on the lubrication performance of a piston and cylinder system in a linear compressor. The rectangle shaped grooves having a constant groove depth and width are applied on the lubrication area of the piston. The Universal Reynolds equation is used to calculate the oil film pressure, and the Elrod algorithm with the finite different method is used to solve the governing equation. The JFO boundary condition is applied to predict cavitation regions. Transient analysis for different locations of the grooves on the piston is carried out using the typical operating condition of the linear compressor in order to estimate the variations of frictional power losses and minimum film thicknesses. When the grooves are applied on the lubrication area, both the frictional power loss and the minimum film thickness decrease. The frictional power loss can be reduced effectively, while maintaining a minimum film thickness to enable the piston operation without direct contact with the cylinder surface, by means of choosing a proper location of the grooves. The optimum location of the grooves to improve a lubrication performance depends on the operation condition or the system requirements specification.

일반적인 용접법은 용접 그루브(groove) 각도가 크기 때문에 용접 결함 발생의 원인이 된다. 따라서 원자력 발전소 배관 용접 시, 용접 그루브 각도가 작고 용접부 비드 폭이 좁은 협개선 용접법을 다수 수행하고 있다. 이러한 협개선 용접법은 용접시간 단축, 용접부 변형과 잔류응력의 감소, 용접 결함의 감소 등과 같은 장점을 갖고 있다. 본 논문에서는 협개선 용접부의 실제 용접 공정을 모사함으로써, ER308L 용접재의 변형 거동과 용접잔류응력을 비선형 2차원 유한요소해석을 통하여 예측하였다. 특히 용접방법 및 순서가 다른 두 형상에 대한 결과를 비교하고, 용접부 폭 넓이 변화에 따른 잔류응력 분포를 분석하였다. 본 논문의 결과는 향후 협개선 용접부의 용접 개선과 용접부 결함의 건전성 평가 등을 위해 적용될 수 있다.

Adoption of narrow gap welding shall be increased for the butt joint of thick plate, because the deformation and welding cost is reduced by decrease of cross-sectional area. However, sometimes narrow gap causes defects such as lack of fusion since it has small groove angle and narrow groove width. Therefore, GMAW, GTAW and SAW process shall be adopted to narrow gap welding with small bead hight and low deposition rate. In this study, Super-TIG welding using C-type strip was applied to semi-narrow gap butt joint in order to increase the welding productivity. High deposition rate 10kg/hr was obtained by high current 600A without undercut, humping bead and other welding defects. Measuring the mean and standard deviation of the melting depth to evaluate the developed processes, the fusion line type was determined by measuring the difference between maximum and minium melting depth. Furthermore, a model on arch fusion line and linear fusion line was suggested in order to prevent LF on groove wall in narrow gap butt welding.

The general way to process the surface by means of the laser was heat treatment for strengthening the surface hardness. They have used the laser for changing the property of the surface, especially for metal. Generally, it is recent increasing tendency to use the thin plate panel for making things smaller and lightweight. However, thin plate should be strengthened or let the thin plate panel have moment of inertia by means of engraving the groove or wave on them for lightweight and strengthening. Therefore it is expected that the thin plate panel can be harder and more stable through processing the metal surface by laser beam irradiation and the hardness of thin plate possibly can be also changed how many parts of them are harden. Through this research, it can be grasped how the hardness and mechanical characteristic changes according to width and depth of groove by laser affect the max stress by the ratio of $A_H/A_T$ (hardening area/total area) and characteristic of displacement and structural characteristic for making the thin plate harder by the strengthening metal surface of thin plate by laser through the experiment and analysis of FEA can be presented.

Direct writing technology on the silicon wafer surface is used to reduce the size of the chip as the miniature trend in electronic circuit. In order to improve the productivity and efficiency, the real time quality estimation is very important in each semiconductor process. In laser marking, marking quality is determined by readability which is dependant on the contrast of surface, the line width, and the melting depth. Many researchers have tried to find theoretical and numerical estimation models fur groove geometry. However, these models are limited to be applied to the real system. In this study, the estimation system for the line width during the laser marking was proposed by process monitoring method. The light intensity emitted by plasma which is produced when irradiating the laser to the silicon wafer was measured using the optical sensor. Because the laser marking is too fast to measure with external sensor, we build up the coaxial monitoring system. Analysis for the correlation between the acquired signals and the line width according to the change of laser power was carried out. Also, we developed the models enabling the estimation of line width of the laser marking through the statistical regression models and may see that their estimating performances were excellent.

In Gerotor pump, the pressure pulsations which occur due to the pump geometry result in vibration and noise of pump elements as well as cavitation in hydraulic system when the chambers of gerotor enter the delivery port and leave the suction port. Therefore it is important to study on the pressure pulsations before design and analysis of characteristics in Gerotor pump. In this paper, to reduce the unnecessary pressure pulsations, the port plate of Gerotor pump is designed based on the notch of the vane pumps and the relief grove of the piston pumps. The theoretical analysis of the pressure pulsations is performed in consideration of design parameters of the port plate which include each port positions and groove width and operating conditions which include rotational velocity and delivery pressure.

The tribological behavior of carbon epoxy composites whose surfaces have many small grooves of $100\mu m$ width was experimentally investigated with respect to the sliding direction against groove orientation, surface pressure (P) and velocity (V). The wear mechanism of the composites was observed to calculate the wear volume with respect to the friction coefficient using scanning electron microscopic (SEM). Experimental results show that the abrasive wear is dominant wear mechanism for the grooved composite surface and the friction and wear are greatly reduced when the sliding direction is parallel to the axis of groove because abrasive particles are removed through the grooves effectively.

The possibility of micro/nano machining through electro-chemical process is discussed in this research. Electro-chemical dissolution region is localized within 1 ${\mu}m$ by applying ultra short pulses with tens of nanosecond duration. The effects of voltage, pulse duration, and pulse frequency on the localization distance are investigated. Localization distance can be manipulated by controlling the voltage and pulse duration, and various hole shapes are produced including stepped holes and taper free hole. High quality micro-hole with 8 ${\mu}m$ diameter with 20 ${\mu}m$ depth and micro-groove with 9 ${\mu}m$ width with 10 ${\mu}m$ depth are machined on 304 stainless steel.
