The use of snap-fit features is highly recommended to reduce overall product cost and manufacturing time by reducing the number of parts and eliminating assembly with conventional fasteners. Application to particular product for integral attachment using snap-fit features is needed. Alternative attachment concept for specific application has been introduced. In this study, the optimal attachment design based on the given design objectives is identified using newly developed alternative attachment concept for the specific application to LCD monitor case assembly. Integral attachment using snap-fit features applies the systematic procedure and the intensity analysis.

Snap-fit is being used in manufacture of plastic products. Integral features using snap-fit are classified as locks, locators and enhancements. Locking features complete the process of attachment by providing physical interference to prevent separation. Looking feature pairs consist of two components, i.e., a flexible latch and a rigid catch and require particular care and attention for their selection. We can make several locking feature pairs by selecting latch and catch, but some parts restrict freedom of selection. Therefore, part designers must know the characteristic properties of generic locking feature forms as considering a specific design problem. In this paper, it has been presented about problem of small size products using locking feature and then introduced new locking feature applicable to small parts.

Globally, customer appreciation and demand for quieter products has driven noise control engineers to develop efficient and quieter products in a relatively short time. In the vehicles and ship industry, noise has become an important attribute because of the competitive market and increasing customer awareness. Noise reduction is often achieved through structural modifications by typical approaches. In the present paper, author describes a fundamental study on optimum design of curvature. Bezier curve. and rib attachment to reduce noise from simple panel using a genetic algorithm(GA). The acoustic optimization procedure employed p-FEM for structural analysis, the Rayleigh integral method for acoustic analysis and the GA for searching optimum design. In the optimization procedure. the objective function to be minimized is the average sound power radiated from an objective structure over a given frequency range $0{\sim}300$ Hz.

배관계를 지지하는 목적으로 자주 사용되는 일체형 용접부착물은 응력집중효과로 인한 국부응력을 유발시켜 종종배관의 파손을 일으키기 때문에 사용에 각별한 주의를 요구하고 있다. 국내 원자력 발전소 배관 곡관부에 부착된 원형관의 국부응력 평가는 EPRI TR-107453에 따라 평가하고 있지만, 이의 적용에는 배관과 부착물의 크기에 관한 특정 매개변수 범위의 제한사항이 있다. 이 논문에서는 유한요소해석을 활용하여 모델들의 치수를 기반으로 한 매개변수 연구를 수행하여 기술적 근거를 확립하고 연구 결과에 대한 회귀분석을 통해 확장된 매개변수 범위를 갖는 곡관부에 부착된 원형관 이음부의 이차응력지수 산출 상관관계식을 도출하였다. 본 연구를 통해 개발된 새로운 상관관계식에 대한 검증을 통해 현재 평가기준의 대체 기준으로써 적용할 것을 제안한다.

Purpose: Periodontitis is associated with a dysbiosis of periodontopathic bacteria, which stimulate the interleukin (IL)-23/IL-17 axis that plays an essential role in the immunopathogenesis of this disease, leading to alveolar bone destruction through receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL). IL-23 receptor mRNA (IL-23R) has been identified in periodontitis, and IL-17 receptor A mRNA (IL-17RA) and its protein have not yet been evaluated in patients with periodontitis. In this study was measure IL-23R and IL-17RA in gingival tissue (GT) from patients with generalized chronic periodontitis (GCP) and generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAP) and to explore correlations with clinical parameters. Methods: We included 16 healthy subjects (HS), 18 patients with GCP, and 14 with GAP. GT samples were collected during periodontal surgery. Both IL-23R and IL-17RA were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: The results were analyzed with Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman' rank correlation coefficients using SPSS version 25.0. We found lower IL-23R levels in patients with GCP and GAP than in HS. Contrarily, we observed higher IL-17RA levels in GCP and GAP patients than in HS. Moreover, we found negative correlations between IL-23R in GT and probing depth and clinical attachment loss (CAL). Likewise, a positive correlation of IL-17RA in GT with CAL was found. Conclusions: The results of these findings suggest that the reverse behavior between IL-23R and IL-17RA in periodontitis patients may also be involved with the activation of RANKL, which promotes alveolar bone loss.

Effects of combustor-level high free-stream turbulence on the blade-surface heat/mass transfer have been investigated in the three-dimensional flow region near the endwall within a high-turning turbine rotor cascade passage. Free-stream turbulence intensity and integral length scale in the high turbulence case are 14.7 percents and 80 mm, respectively. The result shows that there is no considerable discrepancy in the blade heat/mass transfer near the endwall between the low and high turbulence cases. As departing from the endwall, however, the deviation between the two cases becomes larger, particularly in the region where flow separation and re-attachment occur. Under the high turbulence, flow disturbances such as boundary-layer separation and re-attachment seem to be suppressed, which makes the blade heat/mass transfer more uniform. Moreover, there are some evidences that endwall vortices tend to be weakened under the high turbulence.

Tube hydroforming provides a number of advantages over the conventional stamping process, including fewer secondary operations, weight reduction, assembly simplification, adaptability to forming of complex structural components and improved structural strength and stiffness. A hydroformed vehicle body component has an attachment flange or the like-formed as an integral part of the hydroforming process. For a given flange shape, a parting plane for the dies is established relative to which the various surfaces of the flange shape, in cross section, have no significant reverse curvature. This study shows analysis results that form the flanged tubular parts in the hydroforming. The thickness variations and defects during the hydroforming for flange forming could be analyzed by FE analysis. FE analysis was performed by LS-DYNA/Dynaform 5.5.

Experimental data are presented which describe the effects of a combustor-level high free-stream turbulence on the near-wall flow structure and heat/mass transfer on the endwall of a linear high-turning turbine rotor cascade. The end wall flow structure is visualized by employing the partial- and total-coverage oil-film technique, and heat/mass transfer rate is measured by the naphthalene sublimation method. A turbulence generator is designed to provide a highly-turbulent flow which has free-stream turbulence intensity and integral length scale of 14.7% and 80mm, respectively, at the cascade entrance. The surface flow visualizations show that the high free-stream turbulence has little effect on the attachment line, but alters the separation line noticeably. Under high free-stream turbulence, the incoming near-wall flow upstream of the adjacent separation lines collides more obliquely with the suction surface. A weaker lift-up force arising from this more oblique collision results in the narrower suction-side corner vortex area in the high turbulence case. The high free-stream turbulence enhances the heat/mass transfer in the central area of the turbine passage, but only a slight augmentation is found in the end wall regions adjacent to the leading and trailing edges. Therefore, the high free-stream turbulence makes the end wall heat load more uniform. It is also observed that the heat/mass transfers along the locus of the pressure-side leg of the leading-edge horseshoe vortex and along the suction-side corner are influenced most strongly by the high free-stream turbulence. In this study, the end wall surface is classified into seven different regions based on the local heat/mass transfer distribution, and the effects of the high free-stream turbulence on the local heat/mass transfer in each region are discussed in detail.

본 연구는 2014년도에 사업을 수행한 대청천 대청1보를 2015년부터 2016년도까지 모니터링 하였다. 하천에 적용된 기술은 무독성 소재를 이용한 일체형 하상 보호공으로 해당 구간의 오염지표 및 생태적 건강성을 확인하기 위하여 부착조류 (Periphytic Algae)를 이용하여 평가하였다. 모니터링 구간의 수질은 하천생활환경기준 (II)등급 이상으로 확인되었으며, 하상보호공 구간의 조류는 상, 하류 구간보다 호청수성 부착조류종이 높게 나타남을 확인하였다. 부착조류 지수인 TDI 지수는 2015년과 2016년의 경우 하상보호공 구간인 ST-2는 평균 51.03 및 52.15 나타내어 '보통' 등급인 것을 확인 하였다. 이는 상, 하류의 다른 정점이 '나쁨'보다 하상보호공 구간이 높게 나타난 것으로 하천 생태계 구성요소의 서식, 특히 미소생물군의 서식에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다.
