The engine excitation forces are considered as major vibration source for the forklift truck, especially in small class. Even though the current engine mounting system designs are acceptable for vibration isolation, the performance of the engine mounting system is still required for the tendency of light weight, higher power and driver's higher vibration requirement. In this paper vibration reduction technique of forklift engine which is supported on rubber mounts is presented. Based on the dynamic model of resilient engine mounting system, design evaluation program is established. The design optimization technique and evaluation method of system properties are discussed. Effects of optimal design are validated through comparison with test results.

A tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding method was used for the bonding of stainless steel. TIG welding using inert gas (He or Ar gas) is a method to prevent oxidation and nitriding of materials and to combine non-ferrous metals. This method has the advantage of obtaining a smooth weld surface. In this study, the welding characteristics of 304 stainless steel welded by TIG welding method were analyzed by using nondestructive technique. Ultrasonic and Acoustic Emission (AE) was applied to evaluate the micro-damage of TIG welded 304 stainless steel. The velocity and damping coefficient of ultrasonic wave showed a slight difference in HAZ, which is the welding part of stainless steel. The AE parameters of average frequency, rise time and event were analyzed for the dynamic behavior of stainless steel during loading. Optimal AE parameters for evaluating the degree of damage to the specimen have been derived. Fractograph and metal structures of 304 stainless steel using SEM and optical microscope were discussed.

The addition of oxygenates to diesel fuel can significantly reduce particulate emissions. Dibutyl maleate (DBM) and tripropylene glycol methyl ether (TGME) have been identified as possible additives based on their physicochemical characteristics and performance in engine test. However, their potential environmental impacts are unknown. therefore, practical considerations in the selection of an oxygenate additives should include cost, availability, compatibility with engines and fuel, and, particularly, its overall environmental impact. This study was investigated to determine optimal condition for the analysis of potential diesel oxygenates using SPME technique with GC-FID. Four fibers were compared and CAR/PDMS fiber was found to be the most sensitive when used direct-sampling. An absorption time of 30min and a desorption time of 5min provided to be the most sensitivity. The effects of experimental parameters such as the addition of salts, agitation, absorption time, compositon on the analysis were investigated. Analytical parameter such as linearity was also evaluated.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the manufacturing technique on the U type Draw-Bending of inner groove tube. The U type tube requires the quality of product that satisfy sufficient conditions for a heat exchanger. The mandrel components act the important roles that prevent wrinkles and keep the shape of cross section of bended tube at bending process. We performed the FEM simulation using LS-DYNA software and the bending test of inner groove tube and then, compared bending simulation with bending test results about mandrel ball diameter, mandrel position and optimal clearance between mandrel and tube.

Effective use of water resources has become a social problem because the deficit of water comes from population growth and Industrial development. Therefore, the conjunctive operation of surface water and groundwater will become an alternative. Groundwater has many advantages for the evaporation and effect of rainfall compared with surface water. Although the available amount of groundwater is small, groundwater dam can be used complementarily because of the sustainable supply of water. A calculating technique of the optimal amount of water resources by the groundwater dam was developed. A pilot site was selected to assess the optial amount of groungwater for the designed groungwater dam. If the developed technique is more refined by the measured data, the groundwater dam will become a good alternative to develope the water resources in the water deficit area.

Brebbia's model has been analyzed to develop the appropriate waterworks management system in Korea, and compared with the conventional models such as EPANET, WaterCad, and InfoWorks. The hydraulic theory of the models was analyzed. Each model's numerical techniques, required parameters, input data and operational methodologies, restrictions, practical applicability and other aspects were investigated. In order to check the validity of Brebbia model, the comparative analysis with EPANET, WaterCAD, and InfoWorks models was performed for linear and nonlinear cases. To find out advantages and disadvantages of each model, the modeling was performed for a simple network and for more complicated A city waterworks system, and the three models applicability was examined. Finally, optimal modeling technique and a model suitable for the use in Korea was suggested, and the problems related to present projects of waterworks management system in Korea were analyzed.

In this. paper, a new technique to estimate both the instantaneous speed and disturbance load torque using a low precision shaft encoder in very low speed range is proposed. To detect the instantaneous speed and disturbance load torque, the Kalman filter which is an optimal full order estimator is used. Experimental results conform the validity of the proposed estimation technique. The effects of parameter variations are discussed, and it is verified that the system is robust to the modeling error.

This paper concerns with exploiting an oblique projection technique to solve a general class of large and sparse least squares problem over symmetric arrowhead matrices. As a matter of fact, we develop the conjugate gradient least squares (CGLS) algorithm to obtain the minimum norm symmetric arrowhead least squares solution of the general coupled matrix equations. Furthermore, an approach is offered for computing the optimal approximate symmetric arrowhead solution of the mentioned least squares problem corresponding to a given arbitrary matrix group. In addition, the minimization property of the proposed algorithm is established by utilizing the feature of approximate solutions derived by the projection method. Finally, some numerical experiments are examined which reveal the applicability and feasibility of the handled algorithm.

The conventional adaptive hysteresis band current control technique has disadvantages such that on-line calculation of the hysteresis band is very complex, therefore, the adaptive hysteresis band must be stored in the look-up table. In this paper, a new simplified adaptive hysteresis band current control technique with phase decoupling is presented. The adaptive band is independent of the back EMFs. Using this adaptive band and the phase decoupled current error, the modulation frequency is fixed at nearly constant and the PWM inverter has optimal switching pattern.

Optimizing the performance of a composite sensor array is necessary when the number of sensors to choose from is large. In this paper, we present a chemical sensors array optimization method using Wilks Lamda algorithm applicable a device to detect low concentration of alcohol from driver's exhale breath for interlocking engine ignition preventing drink-driving. More than 20 chemical sensors fabricated different synthetic stuffs and heater temperatures by collaborators were nominated, 5 sensors were selected for optimal sensors array using the method, and alcohol samples were well discriminated from the interference gases inside the vehicle. It has been confirmed by Principal Component Analysis (PCA).
