This study conducts numerical modeling and eigen-analysis of a rod-fastened rotor, which is mainly used in aircraft gas turbine engines in which multiple disks are in contact through curvic coupling. Nayak's theory is adopted to calculate surface parameters measured from the tooth profile of the curvic coupling gear. Surface parameters are important design parameters for predicting the stiffness between contact surfaces. Based on the calculated surface parameters, elastoplastic contact analysis is performed according to the interference between two surfaces based on the Greenwood-Williamson model. The equivalent bending stiffness is predicted based on the shape and elastoplastic contact stiffness of the curvic coupling. An equation of motion of the rod-fastened rotor, including the bending stiffness of the curvic coupling, is developed. Methods for applying the bending stiffness of a curvic coupling to the equation of motion and for modeling the equation of motion of a rotor that includes both inner and outer rotors are introduced. Rotordynamic analysis is performed through one-dimensional finite element analysis, and each element is modeled based on Timoshenko beam theory. Changes in bending stiffness and the resultant critical speed change in accordance with the rod fastening force are predicted, and the corresponding mode shapes are analyzed.

Load-carrying capacity of combined members consisted of inner and sleeved tubes subjected to axial compression was investigated in this paper. Considering the initial bending of the inner tube and perfect elasto-plasticity material model, structural behavior of the sleeved member was analyzed by theoretic deduction, which could be divided into three states: the elastic inner tube contacts the outer sleeved tube, only the inner tube becomes plastic and both the inner and outer sleeved tubes become plastic. Curves between axial compressive loads and lateral displacements of the middle sections of the inner tubes were obtained. Then four sleeved members were analyzed through FEM, and the numerical results were consistent with the theoretic formulas. Finally, experiments of full-scale sleeved members were performed. The results obtained from the theoretical analysis were verified against experimental results. The compressive load-lateral displacement curves from the theoretical analysis and the tests are similar and well indicate the point when the inner tube contacts the sleeved tube. Load-carrying capacity of the inner tube can be improved due to the sleeved tube. This paper provides theoretical basis for application of the sleeved members in reinforcement engineering.

In the current study, finite element analysis was conducted for the press hemming of automotive panels in order to predict various hemming defects such as roll-in and turn down. The analysis used the exact punch movement based on the cam location and considered the sealer between the inner and outer panels with an artificial contact thickness. The analysis results quantify the hemming defects especially at the flange edge in the matching region of the head lamp. A design of experiments along with the parameter study was used to obtain the optimum process parameters for minimizing hemming defects. The optimization process selects the intake angle, bending angle of the hemming punch, and the flange height of the outer panel. The optimum design process determines an appropriate tool angle and flange height to reduce the roll-in and turn-down as compared to the initial design.

Recently, demands on thin multi-layer printed circuit boards(PCB) have been rapidly increased with broad spread of personal portable digital appliances such as multi-media. In case of mobile phone, however, the fact that PCBs have low flexural strength might cause defects. The purpose of this study is to improve the flexural strength by substituting the well-known GFRP(glass fiber reinforced plastic) for CFRP(carbon fiber reinforced plastic). Firstly, finite element simulation was carried out using ABAQUS to find out a unique CFRP layer that has a role to sustain the applied forces mainly in PCB. Secondly, three point bending tests were conducted with the newly designed CFRP PCB model to verify the improvement of the flexural strength. Consequently, it is shown that PCB layered with the CFRP on both outer sides of the board can be used to improve the flexural strength effectively.

Reliability-based topology optimization (RBTO) is to get an optimal topology satisfying uncertainties of design variables. In this study, reliability-based topology optimization method is applied to the inner reinforcement of vehicle's hood based on BESO. A multi-objective topology optimization technique was implemented to obtain optimal topology of the inner reinforcement of the hood. considering the static stiffness of bending and torsion as well as natural frequency. Performance measure approach (PMA), which has probabilistic constraints that are formulated in terms of the reliability index, is adopted to evaluate the probabilistic constraints. To evaluate the obtained optimal topology by RBTO, it is compared with that of DTO of the inner reinforcement of the hood. It is found that the more suitable topology is obtained through RBTO than DTO even though the final volume of RBTO is a little bit larger than that of DTO. From the result, multiobjective optimization technique based on the BESO can be applied very effectively in topology optimization for vehicle's hood reinforcement considering the static stiffness of bending and torsion as well as natural frequency.

This paper presents a new holistic development approach for the carbon continuous-fiber composite frame of an automotive sunroof assembly. The original steel frame has been designed to get higher bending stiffness with its corrugated cross-sectional shape. The new approach uses the prepregs of a fast cure epoxy and PCM manufacturing processing. For higher productivity, the new frames feature a very simple plat cross sectional shape but achieve high bending stiffness through the laminate design. The sandwich structure with a PET foam core was presented. The frames were made of carbon UD laminae covered single carbon fabric on the outer surfaces. The fabrics provide torsional stiffness and also hold the carbon UD fibers floating in the low viscous epoxy resin of prepregs at the curing temperature during processing. The final product yields approximately 18 % savings in weight compared with the original.

An approach using the energy method has veen proposed for the analysis of cone spinning having the complicated deformation modes mixed by shear and normal deformation. In the proposed method, the corresponding solution is found through optimization of the total energy dissipation with respect to the parameters assumed by the velocity field defined as the variation of the length in longitudinal direction. The sheet blank is divided into three layers to consider the bending effect and the energy dissipated by shear deformation is superposed to the energy consumption due to normal deformation related with the shrinking deformation is superposed to the energy consumption due to normal deformation related with the shrinking deformation of axi-symmetric sheet element for the evaluation of total deformation energy. In order to check the validity of the proposed method, the complex spinning for making the conical cup is analyzed and the computed results are compared with the experimental results. In comparison of the computed results with existing experimental results,, the good agreement is obtained for the variation of outer radius and the distribution of thickness, and it has thus been shown that the present approach is applicable to the analysis of complex spinning.

Because of the various excellent characteristics of cast basalt materials. such as, anti-corrosion, anti-wearing, good hardness. high chemical stability, of which steel may not possess, the steel-basalt composite pipes are used in severe environments for compensating the defects of steel. However. without sufficient mechanical investigation prior to application. the basalt liners in steel-basalt composite pipes may be cracked and broken or the basalt liners are omitted from steel pipes in applications. In these cases, the merits of basalt materials may disappear and the basalt liners may not play their good roles as expected. Therefore, it is required that mechanical behavior of steel-basalt composite pipes and surrounding environments be fully examined before installation. The limit of bending moment with which steel-basalt composite pipe may safely endure is calculated and the limit curvature of the composite pipe in the safe range is presented in this paper. The temperature distributions and the thermal stresses are also computed and the limit difference of temperatures between inner and outer side of composite pipe is given together.

In this study, the fracture characteristics of carbonized silicon grinding wheels were examined with tensile, compression, impact and bending test. The experiment was performed for the various grinding wheels with grain size #46, #80, and grade H, L, P, and one vitrified bond and one structure No.7. Also the centrifugal fracture rpm of carbonized silicon grinding wheels were measured and compared with the calculated values for the various wheel diameters and thicknesses. The results showed that the fracture tensile strength was $1.5~2.0Kg_f/mm^2$, and it was increased by decreasing grain size and increasing grade. The fracture compression loads were $1,600~3,000Kg_f$, and the inner stress was higher than outer's. And the absorption energy of impact test was 3.3~4.7 J, and it was increased by decreasing grain size but it was not effected by grade. The fracture bending stress was $0.1~0.2Kg_f/mm^2$, and it was increased by decreasing grain size and increasing grade. The centrifugal fracture rpm of carbonized silicon grinding wheel was about 8,500~12,000 and agreed well with the calculated value, and it was increased by decreasing diameter. However, it was almost constant for the reduction of wheel thickness.

FRP has been used very much as high strength and electrical insulation materials. The fiber contributes the high strength and modulus to the composite. The main roles of the matrix in composite materials like FRP are to transmit and distribute stresses among the individual fibers. The fiber orientation in FRP has a great effect on the strength of FRP because the strength of FRP mainly depends on the strength of fiber. In this study, compressive and bending stresses of FRP rods were simulated and measured according to the winding orientation of glass fiber. Inner part of FRP was made unidirectionally by pultrusion method and outer part of FRP was made by filament winding method to give fiber orientation to the FRP. The shear stresses had great effect on the strength of FRP although the stress of parallel direction of FRP was much higher. The tendency of compressive and bending strengths with glass fiber orientation was different each other.
