The direction of the applied load and displacement rate on the femur during falls may be an important factors in the etiology of hip fractures. Nonetheless, previous studies did not consider these two factors simultaneously for falling condition. Therefore, in the present study, an impact test system is developed to simulate the falling condition and the influence of impact angle on the deformation pattern changes of proximal femur is investigated. The results showed that a slight variation in impact angle quite affects deformation pattern of the proximal femur. Along with bone mineral density and trabaecular morphology, the impact angle can be another important factor affecting the structural capacity of the proximal femur.

The upper bound analysis by stream function is used to study the torsional forward extrusion. The torsional forward extrusion process not only reduces forming load but also increase optimal die angle. Optimal die angle is determined by the optimization technique. The advantages of this process are that the low capacity of pressing machine can be used and the process with a large die angle can be applied. To verify the theoretical result, we have carried out experiments using model material (plasticine) and FE simulations using DEFORM3D.

In this paper, an experimental study on the control of the plume deflection panel(PDP) with a support jack of the ground launching platform using a tilt angle sensor is described. To overcome the disadvantages of the existing PDP control without a support jack using a limit sensor, the control algorithm using a tilt angle sensor and the ferroelectric RAM in the Launcher Control Unit for recognizing the contact with the ground in an abnormal operation is proposed to control the PDP in various operation environments. Finally, the proposed algorithm can be well applied for not only heavy-load launching platforms but also any other similar systems.

In this study, the mechanical joint performance of the V-Insert clamp applied to automobile exhaust pipes was evaluated through the experimental investigation of its axial load capacity. The axial load of the V-Insert clamp was also determined by using theoretical equations presented by Shoghi and compared with the experimental results. As results of the theoretical prediction, the axial load of the V-Insert clamp tended to increase along with smaller angle of the V-Insert segment and the lower friction coefficient between the V-Insert segment and exhaust pipes. The experimental results under tightening effects were similar to the theoretical results and the axial load of the V-Insert clamp presented maximum values in the range of all torques at distance of 2mm between each exhaust pipes. The experimental results under loading effects were similar to the theoretical results in the range of lower torques but deviated from the theoretical results in the range of higher torques. These results would be beneficial to improve the joint and sealing performance of the V-Insert clamp.

마이크로파일은 직경 300mm 이하의 소규모 말뚝기초형식으로, 기초구조물의 보강을 위해 널리 적용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 일련의 인발재하시험을 통하여 그룹 마이크로파일의 설치조건에 대한 영향을 조사하였다. 본 연구를 위하여, 다양한 설치간격과 설치각도로 설치된 그룹 마이크로파일을 이용한 인발재하시험을 수행하였으며, 실험결과를 통해 인발지지력 증가특성과 인발변위 감소특성을 조사하였다. 인발저항력은 주로 마이크로파일의 설치각도에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 인발저항력의 증가는 설치각도 15도, 30도, 45도에서 각각 33%, 59%, 5%가 증가되는 것으로 나타났다. 설치간격에 따른 인발변위의 감소량은 더 좁은 설치간격조건에서 크게 나타났으며, 동일한 설치간격조건에서의 설치각도에 따른 인발변위 저감율은 설치각도 15도, 30도, 45도에서 각각 50%, 53%, -45%가 되는 것으로 나타났다.

There is a certain limit to reproduce phenomena between the real vehicle and road, since the existing methods to verify durability of the wheel are mostly uni-axial tests. And the change of durability of the wheel can't be predicted since these tests don't consider the camber angle and lateral force as important factors. In this paper, the FE models of the wheel-tire and drum are created. Then, the vertical and lateral loads are applied to wheel-tire assembly and the camber angle is applied by inclining the wheel-tire assembly to the drum. Based on the analysis result, the crack position is predicted to be created in the body of the wheel. The variation of the stress according to the camber angle is verified and the maximum spot of the stress changes continually.

In this study, the response characteristics of two semi-submersible platforms with an IEA 15 MW reference wind turbine are compared. The nacelle acceleration, platform motion and generator power of FOWT applying a VolturnUS-S platform developed by the University of Maine and PentaSemi platform developed by the Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering are compared in operational conditions. Numerical simulations are performed based on the marine environmental conditions of the U.S east coast. In the FOWT to which the PentaSemi platform is applied, the nacelle acceleration and platform pitch angle are rather high, but the results of both platforms satisfied the design criteria at all operating wind speeds. The platform yaw angle of PentaSemi platform to which a yaw control catenary mooring system is applied is significantly smaller than the platform yaw angle of VolturnUS-S. Also, despite the relatively large nacelle acceleration and platform pitch angle, the generator power is higher on the PentaSemi platform. This means that the generator power dominates the control system rather than the nacelle and platform motion.

This paper examines the behaviour of two types of practical open beam-to-tubular column connection details subjected to combined moment, axial and/or shear loads. Detailed continuum finite element models are developed and validated against available experimental results, and extended to deal with flexural, axial and shear load interactions. A numerical investigation is then carried out on the behaviour of selected connections with different stiffness and strength characteristics under various load combination scenarios. The influence of applied levels of axial tensile or compressive loads on the bending stiffness and capacity is examined and discussed. Additionally, the interaction effects between shear forces and co-existing bending and axial loads are examined and shown to be comparatively insignificant in terms of stiffness and capacity in most cases. It is also shown that the range of connections considered in this paper can provide rotational ductility levels in excess of those required under typical design scenarios. Based on these findings, a simplified component-based representation is proposed and described, and its ability to represent the connection response under combined loading is verified using results from detailed numerical simulations.

A rotating disk is introduced to be applied to the deep drawing press. Several characteristics are summarized to see the basics of deep drawing of sheet metal in terms of load-stroke relationship and formability. Many conventional drawing presses, which are mostly link-type presses, are also shown to be compared with the rotating disk-type press. Performances of the new press are kinematically analyzed it terms of load-main gear angle relationship, stroke-gear angle relationship, and slide velocity-gear angle relationship and they are compared with those of conventional types', e. g. crank press and so on. The comparison show kinematically better performance of rotating disk-type press than that of conventional ones. Also, the new press are proven to be one of the best press for mass production in terms of cycle time. Applicability of the rotating disk press to deep drawing and cold forging work is introduced. The new press is described in terms of economy such that the cost of new press would be much lower than those of conventional types'.
