This study was aimed at the design of the dies for the unified shaft joint using the computer simulation to shorten the period of production, on the basis of the process planning which was designed by the field experts. In the computer simulation, 'Deform-3d' and 'Eesy-DieOpt' have been used, which are the commercial process analysis and die design program. Through the process analysis, we could know the propriety of the forming process, the inner pressure of the die and the suitable fitting pressure between the insert and the sleeve which was not showing any positive tangential stresses in the insert. Through the simulation of die design, we could know the number of the stress ring, the diameter ratios, the stresses of the die, the shrink fitting tolerance and temperature in the condition of the already determined maximum outer die diameter of the multi-stage former. The validity of the die design using the computer simulation was analyzed by the experiments and the results were satisfactory. As the results of this study, the new and easy die design system for multi-forging has been developed.

This paper describes a research work on the die design for the deep drawing ＆ ironing(D.D.I.) of high pressure gas cylinder. D.D.I die set is large-sized die used in horizontal press, which is usually composed of drawing, and ironing die. Design method of D.D.I. die set is very different from those of conventional cold forging die set.. Out diameter of the die set is fixed because of press specification and out diameter of the insert should be as small as possible for saving cost of material. In this study, D.D.I die set has been designed to consider those characteristics and the feasibility of the designed die has been verified by FE-analysis. In addition, the automated system of die design has been developed in AutoCAD R14 by formulating the applied methods to the regular rules.

A split-die design for the cold forging of symmetric parts such as those having a hexagonal cross-section is presented in this paper. Parts with a hexagonal cross-section, such as bolt heads and nuts, should be forged with a die that has a hexagonal-shaped hole. A split type die is required to mitigate the buildup of stress concentrations located at the corners of the hexagonal hole. Generally, the insert of a hexagonal die is made by cutting each corner of a cylinder using a hexagonal hole and then combined with the die and shrink-fitted. However, split dies face problems when extruding material at the corners of the hexagonal split die. To address this problem, two types of split dies were evaluated: rounded hexagonal dies and angular hexagonal dies. The effects of the pre-stress ring on the dies were compared and analyzed and results show that using the angular split hexagonal die can extend the lifetime of forging dies.

The near net shape forging of gears offers significant technical and economic advantages ever other forms of manufacture. These potential benefits can however only be realized by careful die design. This paper describes a computer-based methodology fur achieving this. A Visual-BASIC program has been developed on a rule based system that enables optimal design of the dies taking into account the elastic deflections generated in shrink-fitting the die inserts and that caused by the stresses generated in the forging process. The method also enables the profile of the spark erosion electrode to be determined. An example of the application to forging spur gears is given.

This study was performed on preliminary structural design of a small scale WIG craft which has been developed as a next generation high speed maritime transportation system in Korea. A composite structure design using the foam-sandwich for main wing and tail fins and the honeycomb sandwich and skin-stringer-ring frame for fuselage was applied for weight reduction as well as structural stability. A commercial FEM code, NASTRAN for was utilized to confirm the structural safety for the reiterate design modifications to meet design requirements including the target weight. Each main wing was jointed with the fuselage by eight high strength insert bolts for easy assembling and disassembling as well as for assuring the required 20 years service life. For control surface structural design, the channel type spar, the foam sandwich skin and the lug joint were adopted.

The dimensional accuracy of the cold forged products is strongly dependent on the elastic behavior of the die. The elastic deformation of the die is continuously changed during the process. Therefore, it is needed to measure the deformation of die. Strain gauges are used to measure the elastic strains in the die during cold backward extrusion process. The strain gauges are attached on the die surface and embedded at the interface between the die insert and the stress ring. In order to compare the results with the FE-analysis, the rigid-plastic FE-analysis of cold backward extrusion process using DEFORM-3D has been performed, and the analysis of elastic deformation of the die has been done by using ANSYS with non-linear contact.

The second $\beta$-Xylosidase gene (xylB) from Bacillus stearothermophilus was isolated from the genomic library, cloned into pBR322, and subsequently transferred into Escherichia coli HB101. Six out of 10, 000 transformants were selected from the selective LB medium supplemented with p-nitrophenyl-$\alpha$-L-arabinofuranoside (pNPAf) and ampicillin ($50\mu g$/ml) based on their ability to form a yellow ring around the colony. One of the clones was found to harbor the recombinant plasmid with 5.0 kb foreign DNA, which was identical to the $\alpha$-L-arabinofuranosidase gene (arfI) previously cloned in this lab, while the other five had 3.5 kb of the foreign DNA. Southern blotting experiments confirmed that the 3.5 kb insert DNA was from B. stearothermophilus chromosomal DNA. A zymogram with 4-methylumbelliferyl-$\alpha$-L-arabinofuranoside as the enzyme substrate revealed that the cloned gene product was one of the mutiple $\alpha$-L-arabinofuranosidases produced by B. stearothermophilus. Unlike the arfI gene product, the product of the gene on the insert DNA (xylB) showed an activity not only on pNPAf but also on oNPX suggesting that the cloned gene product could be a bifunctional enzyme having both $\alpha$-L-arabinofuranosidase and $\beta$-xylosidase activities.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to determine a conversion coefficient for Hounsfield Units(HU) to material density ($g\;cm^{-3}$) obtained from cone-beam computed tomography ($CBMercuRay^{TM}$) data and to measure the hard tissue density based on the Hounsfield scale on dental head phantom. Materials and Methods : CT Scanner Phantom (AAPM) equipped with CT Number Insert consists of five cylindrical pins of materials with different densities and teflon ring was scanned by using the $CBMercuRay^{TM}$ (Hitachi, Tokyo, Japan) volume scanner. The raw data were converted into DICOM format and the HU of different areas of CT number insert measured by using $CBWorks^{TM}$. Linear regression analysis and Student t-test were performed statistically. Results : There was no significant difference (P > 0.54) between real densities and measured densities. A linear regression was performed using the density, $\rho$($g\;cm^{-3}$), as the dependent variable in terms of the HU (H). The regression equation obtained was $\rho=0.00072H-0.01588$ with an $R^2$ value of 0.9968. Density values based on the Hounsfield scale was $1697.1{\pm}24.9\;HU$ in cortical bone, $526.5{\pm}44.4\;HU$ in trabecular bone, $2639.1{\pm}48.7\;HU$ in enamel, $1246.1{\pm}39.4\;HU$ in dentin of dental head phantom. Conclusion : CBCT provides an effective option for determination of material density expressed as Hounsfield Units.

There are many researches being in process to develop the information storage devices applying to the portable devices recently. Based on this need, the information storage devices have to be satisfied with the fast access time, the robustness of the system, high data transfer rate and lower media price. The total size of the drive must design to adapt the portable devices such as CF II card or PC II card size. This paper proposes the swing arm type actuator to insert the designed actuator in the drive of the CF II size. Hereafter the research will be going on to be suitable to the physical standard and design the focus magnetic circuit newly. The swing arm type actuator including this circuit is designed to have the dynamic characteristic satisfying the mechanical specification as well as the BD 1x. Finally, the adaptability to the portable devices was demonstrated by the finite element analysis and optimization of structural part.
