  • The tensile and fatigue experiments were conducted with tensile-shear specimens for investigating the strength of adhesive bonded and mechanical press joints of SPCC steel sheet used in the field of the automobile industry. The optimal punch press force was evaluated 50kN for combining epoxy adhesive bonding and mechanical press joining with a diameter of 8.3mm using SPCC sheet with a thickness of 0.8mm. The combining epoxy adhesive bonding and mechanical press joining exhibits the maximum tensile force of 750N. The fatigue strengths of the combination of adhesive bond and mechanical press joint and pure adhesive joint were evaluated 370N and 320N at 106cycles, respectively. These values correspond to 22% and 20% of their maximum tensile forces, respectively. However, the fatigue strength of the combination of adhesive bond and mechanical press joining was much lower than that of pure mechanical press joining.

  • Mechanical press joining has been used in sheet metal joining processes because of its simple process and possibility of joining dissimilar metals, such as steel and aluminum. The strength of mechanical press joining varies with joining conditions. The optimum joining conditions considering tensile-shear and peel-tension strength have to be established to assure the reliability in the joining strength. Therefore, optimization of joining conditions has been investigated for improving joining strength of sheet metal. It is possible to obtain optimum strength from improvement on the joining strength of peel-tension mechanical press joint under multiaxial stress states.

  • There are being a lot of studies for achievement of high speed Dehydration, high-strength and Lightweight of washing machine in the latest washing machine business. It is essential that Press-joining Strength of Spin Drum Seaming division is improved .to attain that target. Generally, we are using Mechanical press-joining by Seaming and T.I.G (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding among part joint method. Mechanical press-joining method that is mainly using for Stainless Steel (STS430) Drum have lots of merit that consumption of energy is low more than welding and production costs cut down and generation of the corrosion is solved by removing weld zone defect and materials having different properties are enable to join without special equipment. But, it is difficult to realize joint strength required at high speed operation because joint strength of mechanical press-joining method is low remarkably in comparison with welding. Also, there are a lot of analysis difficulties and very limited research is under way due to the dynamic factor such as multistage plastic working, elastic recovery, residual stress etc. The results of this study show optimal joining condition for mechanical press-joining by performing lots of tensile joining strength test with various specimen under multi-change of important design factor such as seaming width, bead area and bead depth etc.

  • In the automotive seat industry, the use of a fine blanking press is important for manufacturing of high precision products. Among them, a gear part which is a main component of an automotive seat recliner is generally manufactured by fine blanking press. However, the use of conventional mechanical press has been increasing in manufacture of gear part because of low productivity of fine blanking press. In this study, new forming process is suggested to fabricate the gear part with high precision by using mechanical press. The effect of flow restriction die (FRD) which has the restriction of blank edge on dimensional accuracy is investigated by FE-analysis. FE-analysis results for different conditions of FRD indicated that FRD has high dimensional accuracy with the lowest roll-over and the highest perpendicularity of gear part. After application to fabrication of the gear part using mechanical press, the measured dimensional characteristic was compared with the required specification of final product. In addition, results of the performance test showed that the product fabricated by developed process satisfied the required strength and durability. The results show that the suggested forming process by using FRD and mechanical press can replace fine blanking on the viewpoint of dimensional accuracy and productivity.

  • In this research, the silk web was hot-pressed for various times, the effect of press time on the structure and mechanical properties of silk non-woven fabric was also investigated. The yellowing appeared in the silk non-woven fabric and became more apparent as press time was increased. The crystallinity of silk was decreased by the hot press treatment and it did not change significantly with an increase of hot press time. The porosity of silk non-woven fabric was constantly decreased until 120 s and it did not change much after that. The thickness of silk non-woven fabric was significantly decreased by a press time of 10 s and slightly decreased with a further increase of hot press time. The hot press treatment increased the maximum stress and elongation of silk non-woven fabrics. The press time had a significant impact on the mechanical properties of silk non-woven fabric, with 90 s being the optimum condition for the best work of rupture of silk non-woven fabric.

  • The shape retention finishing provides a fabric for easiness of no-ironing after laundering. In spite of the obvious importance of the new finishing treatment, few systematic studies have been performed on the handle of the fabrics finished by the durable press process. The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationships among the mechanical properties, durable press conditions, primary hand values and the total hand value of the fabrics finished by shape retention process. In this experiment, durable press grade of unfinished fabrics decreased below 2.5, but those of finished fabrics maintained above 4, but the mechanical properties of finished fabrics did not change significantly after laundering. In finished fabrics, D.P. value were correlated with mechanical properties, but had little effects with H.V. and T.H.V. Since the evaluation of the effect of durable press process was done with the naked eyes and standard sample, we could not know exactly change o( mechanical properties, but trace the change of mechanical properties which gave influences on the durable press effects by using KES-FB System.

  • In order to provide a safe free-weight-training environment to people without workout trainers, we suggest a smart bench press machine with an automatic weight control system sensitive to user tiredness. Physical weight plates on the machine are replaced with a hydraulic cylinder as a press load and the cylinder knob is coupled with a step motor to change its tensile force automatically in-between lifting exercises. Three subjects participated to verify the usability of the smart bench press machine. They were asked to lift a 6-RM press load 10 times with 3 different lifting conditions: 1) no assistance, 2) a human assistance, and 3) the automatic weight control. All subjects were not able to complete the 10 sets without assistance due to tiredness, but they finished the full sets under the two assistive conditions. Average lifting speeds under the automatic weight control condition showed the most consistent level. Normalized quasi-tension data based on surface electromyogram signals of both Pectoralis Majors revealed that the subjects maintained the target muscle activation level above 50% but not more than 80% throughout the 10 sets. Therefore, the smart bench press machine is expected to both keep pace with the lifting exercise and reduce risk of injuries due to excessive muscle tensions.

  • The use of high strength steels are gradually increasing to reduce the weight of automobile to improve the environmental problems and collision safety. To encounter the traditional disadvantages of high strength steels like as a poor formability and high springback, hot press forming has been developed. By this method, the strength of steel sheet is increased about three times of original one through die quenching process. In order to the design of hot press forming tools by using numerical simulation, the knowledge of mechanical and microstructural characteristics are required. This study show the mechanical and microstructural characteristics of a high strength boron-alloyed steel according to the various quenching conditions.
