Weld bead quality in tailored blank(TB) is critically affected by edge preparation of sheets. The edge quality of prepared sheets for TB can be classified into straightness and the cross section quality of sheared plane such as a ratio of shear face, shear plane angle, etc. In order to have a good edg quality for butt-welding sheets, precision shearing will be recommended. In this paper, the feasibility of a conventional mechanical shearing as the edge preparation for tailored blanks is studyied. It reveals that fine shearing may not be the unique solution as it is generally accepted. To obtain the good shearing condition with a conventional mechanical shearing, experiments were carried out using Tahuchi method. The major parameters affecting a sheared contour are the clearance between upper blade and lower blade, and shear angle. The optimal shearing condition yields a very good straightness along the entire length of the cut, which gives a butt joint gap less than 10% of the base material thickness. The good cross section of sheared plane is also achieved in the optimal shearing condition such as a ratio of the shear face above 65%, a cross section's shear plane angle above 85%, little burr, which is providing finally good weld beads.

This paper describes the speckle shearing interferometry, a non-destructive optical method, for quantitative estimation of void defect and monitoring separation defect inside of a pneumatic tire. Previous shearing interferometry has not supplied quantitative result of inside defect, due to effective factors. In the study, factors related to the details of an inside defect are classified and optimized with pipeline simulator. The size and the shape of defect can be estimated accurately to find a critical point and also is closely related with shearing direction. The technique is applied for quantitative estimation of defects inside of a pneumatic tire. The actual traveling tire is monitored to reveal the cause of separation and the starting points. And also unknown void defects on tread are inspected and the size and shape of defects are estimated which has good agreement with the result of visual inspection.

We present a method for improving the accuracy of the modal wavefront reconstruction in the radial shearing interferometers (RSIs). Our approach involves expanding the reduced radial terms of Zernike polynomials to high-order, which enables more precise reconstruction of the wavefront aberrations with high-spatial frequency. We expanded the reduced polynomials up to infinite order with symbolic variables of the radius, shearing amount, and transformation matrix elements. For the simulation of the modal wavefront reconstruction, we generated a target wavefront subsequently, magnified and measured wavefronts were generated. To validate the effectiveness of the high-order Zernike polynomials, we applied both low- and high-order polynomials to the wavefront reconstruction process. Consequently, the peak-to-valley (PV) and RMS errors notably decreased with values of 0.011λ and 0.001λ, respectively, as the order of the radial Zernike polynomial increased.

By investigating the practical use of trim punch configurations for shearing of vehicle panels, the current study first reviews the shearing angle as part of the shearing die design. Based on this review, four different types of trim punch shapes (i.e., horizontal, slope, convex, and concave type) and shearing angles(i.e., 0.76°, 1.53°, 2.29°, 3.05°, 3.81°) were investigated. In order to conduct shearing experiments, four types of trim punch dies were made. The four trim punch dies were tested under various conditions. The experiments used the four trim punch shapes and the five shearing angles. The shearing force varied by shape and decreased from horizontal, slope, convex, to concave for the same shearing angle. The magnitude of shearing force showed differences between the convex and the concave shapes due to the influence of constrained shearing versus free shearing. The test results showed that compared to the horizontal trim punch shearing force, the decrease of the slope, convex, and concave shearing forces were 22.6% to 60.4%. Based on the results, a pad pressure of over 30% is suggested when designing a shearing die.

Hydro-mechanical punching was developed for preventing burr formation. Circular hole punching and Finite element method(FEM) analysis were conducted to investigate shearing characteristics of this process in comparison with conventional and mechanical counter punching. In this process hydrostatic pressing with appropriate medium was utilized instead of counter punch, which resulted in the delay of the point that the fracture is initiated and clean shearing surface was obtained. FEM analysis was utilized to find out optimum processing parameters and shearing mechanism for burr-free hole punching.

Recently, Tailor Welded Blanks(TWB) is widely used in automotive industry since the transformation characteristics of its material can be changed. However, clearance between welding surface becomes the important factor which affect the quality of the laser weld, causing difficulties in preparing the sheet. The objective of this paper is to systematically evaluate the effects of previously presented fracture criterion and shearing condition on precise mechanical shearing simulation result. Also predict the optimum shearing condition, effect of shearing condition such as clearance and punch radius on the shear plane shape was evaluated.

Many kinds of channels are used in industrial equipment and production machinery. Although mechanical saw has been used to cut many sorts of channels, there is cost rise problem because of low productivity. Shearing of channel has a special place because it helps to cut expected shape and size easily. A channel cutting die set which can be mounted and used on a hydraulic press is developed to improve the productivity of channel cutting process. Mode for the channel cutting is divided into single cut and double cut method. This study use double cut method, and the developed channel cutting die set is composed of upper and lower die set. Shearing time can be reduced from 40 minutes to 20 seconds using the developed channel cutting die set. The productivity of channel cutting process can be increased with shearing time reduction as well as cost reduction.

In order to investigate the mechanical properties such as tensile, bending, shearing, thickness and weight of the wool fabrics were measured by KES-F system. Samples were classified into blend ratio, weave type, fabric count. Blend ratio was classified into two groups, which are P/W blended fabric (p=63~65%, w=35~37%) and all wool fabric. Weave type was classified into four groups, which are plain, 3 harness twill, 4harness twill, satin. Cloth count was classified into three groups, which are loose, medium, tight. Statistical analysis was performed using T-test, F-test. The results were as follows; 1. There was significant difference in the thickness, tensile, bending, shearing according to the blend ratio. 2. According the weave, there was significant difference in the bending, weight and thickness in the P/W blended fabrics. There was significant difference in the tensile, weight, thickness, bending, shearing, shearing hysterisis (2HG) in the all wool fabrics. 3. There was significant difference in the shearing properties according to the fabric count.

Hot shearing is a method of producing various high-quality planar machine parts by using reduced punch load. In order to predict the results of this process, the deformation behavior of work material at elevated temperatures need to be studied. In this research, a tensile test was carried out for 5052 aluminum alloy at high temperatures of $240-540^{\circ}C$ and strain rates of 0.001-0.1/s. The results of the tensile tests were studied to predict the deformation of the alloy during the hot shearing process. The results showed that hot shearing within a temperature range of $340-440^{\circ}C$ and a strain rate rage of 0.001-01/s will be the most effective in reducing punch load and increasing the sheared edge in the case of 5052 aluminum alloy.
