Tube hydroforming process is generally consisted with pre-bending, preforming and hydroforming processes. Among forming defects which may occur in tube hydroforming such as buckling, wrinkling and bursting, the wrinkling and bursting by local instability under excessive tensile stress mode were mainly caused by thinning phenomenon in the manufacturing process. Thus the accurate prediction and suitable evaluation of the thinning phenomenon play an important role in designing and producing the successfully hydroformed parts without any failures. In this work, the formability on hydroformed part for automobile, i.e. engine cradle, was evaluated using finite element analysis. The initial tube radius, loading path with axial feeding force and internal pressure, and preformed configuration after preforming process were considered as the dominant process parameters in total tube hydroforming process. The effects on these process parameters could be confirmed through the numerical experiments with respect to several kinds of finite element simulation conditions. The degree of enhancement on formability with each process parameters such as initial tube radius, loading path and preform configuration were also compared. Therefore, it is noted that the evaluation approach of the formability on hydroformed parts for lots of industrial fields proposed in this study will provide one of feasible methods to satisfy the increasing practical demands for the improvement of the formability in tube hydroforming processes.

The wrinkling in the electromagnetic tube compression with a mandrel is remarkably smaller than that of the process without it. To analyze this phenomenon, the critical forming parameters such as the ratio of the clearance to the shell radius, the ratio of the thickness to the shell radius, and the ratio of the applied pressure to the standard pressure are introduced tp consider the effect of the mandrel, in addition to those of the thickness of shell and applied loads. The amplification ratio is also used to observe the magnitude of amplification. The results obtained by 2-D finite element method show that the initial imperfection embedded in the radius of cylindrical shell is the dominant factor to determine the final shape of the tube compression, and that the amplification ratio tends to have smaller values with the smaller clearance ratio and also with the larger thickness and pressure ratios.

본 논문에서는 튜브의 내부에 이물질이 있거나, 조명에 의한 영상잡음이 많은 경우에도 내경중심과 내경을 정확하게 측정할 수 있는 머신비전 기반의 새로운 측정알고리즘을 제안하였다. 또한 내경과 외경 중심간의 이격거리인 편심량도 계산할 수 있다. 제안된 알고리즘은 퍼지제어에 바탕을 둔 반복탐색에 의하여 임의의 초기탐색점에서 거리와 방향을 단계적으로 이동함으로써 내경의 중심에 도달하게 한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 계산시간 뿐만 아니라 측정정밀도 면에도 기존의 방법에 비해 우수하였다. 성능을 비교하기 위하여 생산현장에서 생산되는 튜브들을 이용하여 실험을 수행하였고, 실험 결과 제안된 알고리즘을 사용하는 경우가 널리 사용되고 있는 알고리즘인 Hough 변환 방식과 RANSAC 방식보다 계산시간 및 측정정밀도에서 우수함을 보였다.

Based on the viscous flow characteristics of gas through capillary tube, a simple and low cost system was developed for controlling gas concentration for use in C.A experiments. The gas flow rate through capillary tube had a linear relationship with pressure, $(length)^{-1}$ and $(radius)^4$ of capillary tube, which agreed well with Hagen-Poiseuille's law. The developed system could control the gas concentration in storage chamber within ${\pm}0.3%$ deviation compared to the preset concentration. The required time for producing target gas concentration in storage chamber was exactly predicted by the model used in this study, and it required much longer time than the calculated time which divided the volume of chamber by flow rate. Therefore, for producing target gas concentration as quickly as possible, it needs to supply higher flow rate of gas during the initial stage of experiment when gas concentration in storage chamber has not reached at target value. It appeared that the developed system was very useful for C.A experiments. Because one could decide a desired flow rate by the prediction model, control flow rate freely and easily by changing pressure in the pressure-regulating chamber and the accuracy was high.

In hydroforming, the general technique employed to overcome the problem of die corner filling consist in increasing the maximum fluid pressure during the forming process. This technique, in other hand, leads to other difficulties such as thinning and rupturing of the final work piece. In this paper, a new technique has been suggested in order to produce a part with complete filled corners. In this approach, two moveable bushes have been used. So, the workpiece moves driven by both bushes simultaneously. In the first stage, system pressure increases until a maximum of 15 MPa, providing aninitial tube bulge. The results showed that the pressure in this stage have to be limited to 17 MPa to avoid fracture. In a second stage, bushes are moved keeping the constant initial pressure. The punches act simultaneously at the die extremities. Results show that the friction between part and die decreases during the forming process significantly. Also, by using this technique it is possible to produce a part with reasonable uniform thickness distribution. Other outcomes of applying this method are the lower pressures required to manufacture a workpiece with complete filled corners with no wrinkling.

We develop a numerical method for solving the radiation hydrodynamic equations in one-dimensional spherical coordinates. The present method is validated through simulations of shock tube, thermal radiative diffusion and point explosion problems. The transient growth of the fireball is investigated by varying explosion yields. The present study clearly captures well-known breakaway phenomena related to the shock separation between pressure waves and thermal shock front. The fireball radius at the breakaway point is roughly increased by the yield to power of 0.4.

In the case of Impingement of plane moving shock wave over concave or convex double wedges (pseudo-stationary flow) and cylindrical walls (truly non-stationary flow), it Is expected that there are transitions from regular reflection to Mach reflection or vice versa In shock wave reflections. In these connections, it is necessary to verify the various of reflection process and transition angle for the reflection problems In double wedges, and to verify the transition angle, effects of curvature radius and initial wall angle on it for the reflection problems In cylindrical walls. Especially, we focused our attention to confirm the existence of hysteresis phenomenon induced by the different transition processes, and Neumann paradox, which is a small discrepancy between theoretical and experimental transition angles. Experiments were carried out by using the shock tube of $6{\times}6cm^2$, and high speed photographic technique consisted of delay unit, triggering system, light source of Xe lamp and so on was used for flow visualization.

공압피팅은 공압이 사용되는 시스템 및 기계에서 작동유체를 공급하기 위한 유연호스의 접속 및 탈착을 원활히 할 수 있게 하는 공압 시스템의 핵심 요소이다. 공압피팅의 구성요소인 원형 판스프링의 응력분포를 유한요소해석을 통하여 살펴본 결과 원형 판스프링은 공압피팅에 유연호스가 장착 될 때 국부적인 소성변형이 일어나는 것으로 나타났다. 원형 판스프링의 응력집중을 분산시키기 위해 다구찌 실험계획법을 이용하여 최적설계를 수행하였다. 원형 판스프링의 반경, 외측폭, 굽힘각을 주요 설계변수로 설정하였으며 다구찌 실험계획법을 통해 원형 판스프링에 작용하는 최대응력에 폭이 81.3%, 굽힘각이 10.9%, 반경이 1.5%의 기여율을 가짐을 확인하였으며, 최적설계시 초기 형상의 원형 판스프링에 비해 약 4% 정도 응력분산의 효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다.
