The evaluation of durability performance in Virtual Testing Laboratory(VTL) is a new concept of vehicle design, which can reduce the automotive design period and cost. In this study, the multibody dynamics model of a car is built with a reverse engineering design. Hard points and masses of components are measured by a surface scanning device and imported into CAD system. In order to simulate the non-linear dynamic behavior of force elements such as dampers and bushes, components and materials are tested with specialized test equipments. An optimized numerical model for the damping behavior is used and the hysteresis of bush rubber is considered in the simulation. Loads of components are calculated in VTL and used in the evaluation of durability performance. In order to verify simulation results, loads of components in the vehicle are measured and durability tests are performed.

본 논문에서는 포장가속시험기를 이용하여 아스팔트 안정처리층의 피로모형을 개발하여 기존의 실내실험결과와의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 아스팔트 안정처리층의 피로모형은 Miner(1945)의 누적파손(Cumulative Damage)가설을 적용하였다. 포장가속시험에 사용된 아스팔트 안정처리층은 골재최대입경 25mm(BB-3)의 재료를 사용하였다. 포장가속시험결과 피로모형의 변수인 포장하부의 최대인장응력은 하중재하회수가 증가할수록 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었으며 포장층의 탄성계수는 점차 작아지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 아스팔트 피로모형의 기본식 $N_f=k_1(\frac{1}{\epsilon})^{k_2}$에서 변형률계를 통하여 얻은 인장변형률을 통하여 $k_1=1.29{\times}10^{-6}$, $k_2=3.02$의 값을 도출하였으며, 같은 인장변형률에서의 피로수명은 실내실험을 통한 모형보다 크게 나타났다. 또한, 비파괴실험인 FWD를 이용하여 포장의 잔존수명을 추정하는 논리를 개발하였다.

The Maanshan Bridge over Yangtze River in China is a new long-span suspension bridge with double main spans of $2{\times}1080m$ and a closed streamline cross-section of single box deck. The flutter and buffeting performances were investigated via wind tunnel tests of a full bridge aeroelastic model at a geometric scale of 1:211. The tests were conducted in both smooth wind and simulated boundary layer wind fields. Emphasis is placed on studying the interference effect of adjacent span via installing a wind deflector and a wind separating board to shelter one span of the bridge model from incoming flow. Issues related to effects of mid-tower stiffness and deck supporting conditions are also discussed. The testing results show that flutter critical wind velocities in smooth flow, with a wind deflector, are remarkably lower than those without. In turbulent wind, torsional and vertical standard deviations for the deck responses at midspan in testing cases without wind deflector are generally less than those at the midspan exposed to wind in testing cases with wind deflector, respectively. When double main spans are exposed to turbulent wind, the existence of either span is a mass damper to the other. Furthermore, both effects of mid-tower stiffness and deck supporting conditions at the middle tower on the flutter and buffeting performances of the Maanshan Bridge are unremarkable.

멤브레인을 이용한 기체 분리 기술이 발전함에 따라 분리 과정을 설명하기 위해 다양한 수학적 모델을 개발하고 적용해 왔다. 본 연구에서는 셀룰로오스 아세테이트(CA) 중공사 분리막을 제조하여 실험에 사용하였다. 메탄, 질소, 산소 및 이산화탄소 순수가스를 이용하여 투과도를 측정하고, 향류 흐름 모델(Counter-current model)을 적용하여 실험데이터와 비교/해석하였다. CA 막에 대한 이산화탄소와 메탄의 투과도는 각각 25.82 GPU와 0.65 GPU로 나타났다. CO2/CH4 선택도는 39.7이었다. 순수가스 테스트 후 세 가지 모의 혼합가스에 대한 분리 테스트를 수행하였으며, 다양한 stage-cut 조건에서 투과된 가스의 농도를 측정하였다. 실험으로 얻은 데이터를 향류 흐름 모델로 비교한 결과 상당히 일치하는 것으로 나타났으며, CA 멤브레인 모듈을 사용한 바이오가스 분리를 수학적 모델로 구현할 수 있었다. 또한 유한차분법(FDM)을 적용하여 멤브레인에서 바이오가스의 분리 거동을 유추할 수 있었다. 향후 향류 흐름 모델은 바이오가스 분리 공정을 위한 모델로서 활용 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

Traditional software testing typically uses many physical resources to manually build various test environments, resulting in high resource costs and long test time due to limited resources, especially for small enterprises. Cloud computing can provide sufficient low-cost virtual resources to alleviate these problems through the virtualization of physical resources. However, the provision of various test environments and services for implementing software testing rapidly and conveniently based on cloud computing is challenging. This paper proposes a multilayer cloud testing model based on cloud computing and implements a hybrid cloud testing system based on virtual machines (VMs) and networks. This system realizes the automatic and rapid creation of test environments and the remote use of test tools and test services. We conduct experiments on this system and evaluate its applicability in terms of the VM provision time, VM performance and virtual network performance. The experimental results demonstrate that the performance of the VMs and virtual networks is satisfactory and that this system can improve the test efficiency and reduce test costs through rapid virtual resource provision and convenient test services.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the failure modes of an auto transfer switch (ATS), determine the most common failure mechanisms, and iterate the design to improve reliability. Methods: We carried out failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) to determine the failure modes and mechanisms. We identified the parts or modules that required improvement via two-stage quality function deployment based on FMEA, and improvements to reliability were monitored using the Gomperz growth model. Results: The main failure modes of the ATS were damage to, and deformation of, the stator / movable element due to repetitive movements. Five iterations of design modification were carried out, and the mean time to failure (MTTF) increased to 14,539 cycles, corresponding to 85% of the target MTTF. The Gompertz growth model indicates that the 10th iteration of design modification is expected to achieve the target MTTF. Conclusion: We improved the reliability of mechanical parts via failure mode analysis, and characterized the iterative improvements in the MTTF using the Gompertz growth model.

The purpose of the present study is to develop conceptual design of a railway vehicle simulator based on a scaled model. Although the scaled simulator is limited in its ability to manipulate the full dynamics of a full-size railway vehicle, it has been known to have an advantage in that it could provide means of testing the fundamental dynamic behavior within a limited laboratory space and at low operation cost. The present study proposes a design strategy for a simulator so that a small scaled roller rig could be fabricated and operated in laboratory setting based on the design philosophy. The data obtained from experimental testing using a scale model can be used to verify and interpret the dynamic performance of full-scale railway vehicle by applying appropriate non-dimensional analysis.

In this paper, to study the stability of surrounding rock during roadway excavation in different rock mass structures, the physical model test for roadway excavation process in three types of intact rock mass, layered rock mass and massive rock mass were carried out by using the self-developed two-dimensional simulation testing system of complex underground engineering. Firstly, based on the engineering background of a deep mine in eastern China, the similar materials of the most appropriate ratio in line with the similarity theory were tested, compared and determined. Then, the physical models of four different schemes with 1000 mm (height) × 1000 mm (length) × 250 mm (width) were constructed. Finally, the roadway excavation was carried out after applying boundary conditions to the physical model by the simulation testing system. The results indicate that the supporting effect of rockbolts has a great influence on the shallow surrounding rock, and the rock mass structure can affect the overall stability of the surrounding rock. Furthermore, the failure mechanism and bearing capacity of surrounding rock were further discussed from the comparison of stress evolution characteristics, distribution of stress arch, and failure modes in different schemes.

This paper is concerned with a computational method for recovering a crack shape of steam generator tubes of nuclear plants. Problems on the shape identification are discussed arising in the characterization of a structural defect in a conductor using data of eddy current inspection. A surface defect on the generator tube ran be detected as a probe impedance trajectory by scanning a pancake type coil. First, a mathematical model of the inspection process is derived from the Maxwell's equation. Second, the input and output relation is given by the approximate model by virtue of the hybrid use of the finite element and boundary element method. In that model, the crack shape is characterized by the unknown coefficients of the B-spline function which approximates the crack shape geometry. Finally, a parameter estimation technique is proposed for recovering the crack shape using data from the probe coil. The computational experiments were successfully tested with the laboratory data.
