A procedure is presented for a 3D-contour machining without cutter interferences. The 3D-contouring machining along a spatial curve is often required for manufacturing trimming and flange dies in motor industries. Input data for the machining contour is a spline curve with polynomial vector equation provided by CATIA system. Points are sampled on the contour curve and line segments and helical curves are approximated from the point data. Cutter interference is checked on the approximated spline and all of interference curves are substituted with interference-free helical curves for a tool path generation. The non-machined curve areas are locally machined by tools with smaller diameters. A tool radius offset is considered for generating NC data to be free with tool size.

A counter shaft gear is an important part in the transmission system of vehicle. Its shape is relatively complicated and should meets high strength. Traditionally it has been manufactured as follows; the counter shaft gear has consisted of a clutch and helical body with teeth which are forged and machined for teeth respectively and then attached by frictional welding. In this study, a new hot forging process was proposed and designed so that the counter shaft gear is formed as one body without divide it into two parts. Furthermore, the precision forging process has been developed for the clutch teeth without additional grinding.

자동차의 시동을 걸기 위해서는 맨 처음 엔진을 강제로 가동시키는 기계장치가 있어야 하며, 이를 시동모터라 한다. 시동모터는 모터부와 그 부속장치 그리고 발생된 힘을 엔진으로 전달하는 동력전달 기구로 구성되어 있다. 동력전달기구는 플라이 휠이라는 부품을 크랭크 축 끝단에 장착한 후 그 원주상에 링 기어를 만들고, 시동모터의 축에 피니언이라는 작은 기어를 맞물리게 하여 시동 키를 돌리면 이 기어가 회전되는 원리를 이용하고 있다. 피니언 기어는 작고 반대로 플라이 휠에 장착되어 있는 링 기어는 크기 때문에 일정한 기어비가 형성되어 큰 부하의 엔진회전이 가능하다.(중략)

An efficient optimum design process has been developed and applied to systematically design a lock-up clutch system for a torque converter used in an automatic transmission. A simulated annealing algorithm was applied to determine the parameters of the compressive helical damper springs in the clutch. The determination of the number, location, a number of turns, and deflection of damper springs plays an important role in reducing vibration and noise in the lock-up system. Next, FE-based shape optimization was coded to find the shape of the clutch disk that would satisfy the strength, noise and vibration requirements. Using the optimum code, parametric studies were performed to see how spring diameters and frequencies of clutch systems changed as the damper spring traveling angles and the torques were varied. Based on the optimum results, five different designs for clutches with different springs were fabricated and vibration analyses and tests were conducted to validate the accuracy of the proposed method. Results from the two methods show a good correlation.
