Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze turbidity and quality characteristics of white rice as a function of main shaft blast velocity and to verify the optimum processing conditions in the cutting type white rice processing system (CTWRPS). Methods: Sindongjin, one of the rice varieties, which used to be produced in Gimje-si, Jeollabuk-do, in 2015, was used as the experimental material. Turbidity and quality characteristics of white rice were measured at three different main shaft blast velocities: 25, 30, and 35 m/s. The amount of test material used for a single experiment was 20 kg, and after processing, whiteness was found to be $42.5{\pm}0.5$, following which, turbidity and quality characteristics were measured. Results: Turbidity decreased with increase in the shaft blast velocity, and as a result, was lowest at 35 m/s of shaft blast velocity among all the other experiment velocities. The trend of cracked rice ratios was similar to the turbidity. Broken rice ratio turned out to be less than 2.0% in all the test conditions. In the first stage of processing, the processing pressure decreased as the main shaft blast velocity increased. Additionally, in the second stage of processing, the processing pressure was at its lowest value at the main shaft blast velocity of 35 m/s. Energy consumption, too, decreased as the main shaft blast velocity was increased. Conclusions: From the above results, it is concluded that the main shaft blast velocity of 35 m/s is best for reducing turbidity and producing high quality rice in a CTWRPS.

In diabetics, daily blood glucose testing is generally required at home, and thus, performing blood collection several times a day using a blood line is essential. Blood collection in the home and in the hospital is a source of pain and is the second most common cause of infection. In blood collecting device generally consists of four major parts: inner-case, outer case, main shaft and triger, and the most import part among those for necessary functionality is the main shaft. Filling time and injection pressure, filling balance, strain-rate analysis of change based on availability of the product. The Moldflow of FEM simulation is used for the analysis of injection molding process. In this study, aims to create a technique for injection molding and manufacturing of a main shaft of a high-performance blood-collecting apparatus capable of automatically extracting a lancet to relieve pain through depth control of the lancet.

To improve the reliability for a wind-turbine gearbox, the mechanical loads acting on the gearbox need to be monitored and analysed exactly. This study was conducted to identify the characteristics of torques and bending moments acting on the main shaft of the gearbox using the rainflow counting method and predict the fatigue life of the main shaft by using the modified Miner's rule. While the mean wind speed became 3.5 m/s, the life of the main shaft by the acting torques was predicted as 4.3${\times}10^6$ years, and it by the bending moments was as 2.3${\times}10^4$ years. If the life of the wind turbine was estimated as 20 years, the fatigue life of the main shaft was regarded as infinite. Also, it was suggested that the life of the main shaft must be predicted by not the torques but the bending moments.

This study aimed to identify milling characteristics depending on the rotating speed of the main shaft of the cutting-type rice milling machine which can minimize the conventional milling process. Brown rice, which was produced in Gunsan-si, Jeollabuk-do, Republic of Korea, in 2016, was used as the experimental material. The milling characteristics of white rice were measured under four different rotating speeds of main shaft: 950 - 1,050 rpm, 1,000 - 1,100 rpm, 1,050 - 1,150 rpm, and 1,100 - 1,160 rpm. For each shaft speed, 300 kg of brown rice was processed, and the milling characteristics were measured according to the whiteness, grain temperature, cracked rice ratio, broken rice ratio, turbidity, and energy consumption. The whiteness of rice grain was found to be consistent at around $40{\pm}0.5$ only when milled at the shaft speed of 950 - 1,050 or 1,000 - 1,100 rpm. The grain temperature during the milling process increased by 11.35 to $11.85^{\circ}C$, showing little differences amongst shaft speeds. The cracked rice ratio increased by 8.2 to 10.4% at all conditions. The broken rice ratio ranged from 0.58 to 0.76%, reflecting a low level. The turbidity after milling was 54.8 ppm when milled at 1,000 - 1,100 rpm. Energy consumption of 12.98 and 12.18 kWh/ton were recorded at the shaft speed of 1,000 - 1,100 and 1,050 - 1,150 rpm, respectively. The result of this study indicates that the optimal rotating speed of main shaft would be 1,000 - 1,100 rpm for a cutting-type rice milling machine.

Balance shaft has a key role in reducing a engine vibration in a vehicle and widely applied for current models. Since balance shaft module consists many sub-component and each part has its own operational characteristics, some different analysis backgrounds should be integrated into one sub-part in balance shaft module and this is the main obstacles in making a design process. Moreover, the balancing shaft is rotating in high speed and such condition requires large safety factors in a design process owing to a lot of unexpected problems with the overwhelming rotation. Balance shaft is the core-component generating the intended unbalance as well as cancelling the unbalance force or moment by the engine module. So, the balance shaft should meet the high fatigue resistance not to mention of NVH performance. In this paper, a design strategy focused on balance shaft is developed to build a optimal model considering a engine vibration. Putting the unbalance mass distribution as main design parameter, some candidate model is verifed with structural and fatigue analysis and most appropriate model is proposed here.

풍력발전기에서 메인 샤프트는 로터허브와 증속기를 연결하는 중요 부품 중 하나이며 주로 자유단조공법을 통하여 제조된다. 하지만 고 MW급 이상의 메인샤프트는 중량을 감소시키기 위하여 중공형 설계가 이루어지며 주조공법을 이용하여 제조되고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 중공형 메인샤프트를 단조공법을 이용하여 생산할 수 있는 제조공정을 개발하는 것이다. 자유단조 공법의 공정설계 방법에 따라 중실형과 중공형 메인샤프트를 제조하기 위한 단조공정을 각각 설계하였다. 설계된 공정의 성형가능성을 확인하기 위하여 온도, 변형률 속도에 따른 유동응력을 열간압축실험을 통하여 구한 후 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 유한요소해석을 통하여 단조업계에서 통상 행해지는 중실형 단조공법의 온도 및 변형률 등의 관리인자와 제안된 중공형단조공법의 인자를 비교하여 성형가능성을 예측하였다. 시제품 제작을 통하여 중공형 형상을 원소재회수율, 내부품질, 형상 및 치수 등에서 높은 생산성으로 제조가 가능함을 확인하였다.

Large quantity of bending deformation as well as rotating torque fluctuation at the balance shaft are main struggles during the operation in a high speed rotation and thereby, two issues should be cleared at the design process of balance shaft module. Since two issues are highly related with balance shaft itself and particularly much sensitive to the location of both supporting bearing and unbalance mass, the design strategy on balance shaft should be investigated at the aspect of controlling two critical issues at the early stage of balance shaft design. To tackle two main problems, the formulation of objective function that minimizes critical issues, both bending deformation as well as torque fluctuation, is suggested to derive the optimal information on balance shaft. Then, optimal informations are reviewed at the practical logics and the guideline at the selection of locations, both supporting bearing and unbalance mass, is addressed at the final chapter.

전기기기나 엔진의 축은 여러 가지 원인으로 축기전력이 발생한다. 이런 축과 베어링이 윤활유로 절연되어 있어 콘덴서를 이루고 있고, 콘덴서와 같은 역할로 기전력을 축적하고 있다. 이 축 기전력은 선체에 비해 극히 일부를 제외하고 +전압을 갖고 있다. 이 +전압이 축의 전기 스파크를 일으켜 부식을 야기 시킬 수 있다. 이 부식을 막기 위해 선박에서는 샤프트 그라운드 시스템을 설치하여 운용하고 있다. 이 축기전력을 측정은 프로펠러 축의 전압과 메인엔진의 회전수를 동시에 측정하였다. 측정장치는 내셔널인스트루먼트사의 24비트 A/D컨버터를 사용하여 측정하였고, 프로그램은 Lab View를 사용하였다. 본 논문은 축에 발생되는 기전력을 분석하였고, 분석결과를 이용하여 모델링을 하였다. 결과로 축기전력은 메인엔진의 회전수에 따라 비례하다가 일정회전수를 넘어가면 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 후진보다는 전진이 축기전력이 높은 결과를 얻었다. 전체기전력에 비하면 지구자기의 기전력은 미미하였다.

In this paper, a wind turbine with power splitting transmission, which is realized through a novel three-shaft planetary, is presented. The input shaft of the transmission is driven by the rotor of the wind turbine, the output shaft is connected to the grid via the main generator (asynchronous generator), and the third shaft is driven by a control motor with variable speed. The dynamic models of the sub systems of this wind turbine, e.g. the rotor aerodynamics, the drive train dynamics and the power generation unit dynamics, were given and linearized at an operating point. These sub models were integrated in a multidisciplinary dynamic model, which is suitable for control syntheses to optimize the utilization of wind energy and to reduce the excessive dynamic loads. The important dynamic behaviours were investigated and a wind turbine with a soft main shaft was recommend.
