In this study, experimental design methods were used to derive optimal process conditions for improving the thickness uniformity of a 0.40 mm, 3.5 inch light guide panel. Process mapping and expert group analysis were used to identify factors that influence the thickness of injection molded products. The key factors identified were mold temperature, mold temperature, injection speed, packing pressure, packing time, clamp force, and flash time. Considering the resin manufacturer's recommended process conditions and the process conditions for similar light guide plates, a three-level range was selected for the identified influencing factors. L27 orthogonal array process conditions were generated using the Taguchi method. Injection molding was performed using these L27 orthogonal array to mold the 3.5 inch light guide plates. Thickness measurements were then taken, and the results were analyzed using the signal-to-noise ratio to maximize the CpK value, leading to the determination of the optimal process conditions. The thickness uniformity of the product was analyzed by applying the derived optimum process conditions. The results showed a 97.5% improvement in the Cpk value of 3.22 compared to the process conditions used for similar light guide plates.

In this study, the structural analysis was performed to optimize the membrane humidifier with hollow fiber membrane for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell system. The main design factors were considered by evaluating the humidifying performance according to various structural parameters such as packing density and length. The effects of operation conditions of membrane humidifier were also elucidated experimentally. Results imply that there are optimum points for the packing density and length of humidifier. It was also found that among operation conditions, relative humidity of wet exhaust gas and temperature of dry inlet gas have major effects on the humidifying performance.

The past research on cold-formed steel (CFS) flexural members have proved that rectangular hollow flanged sections perform better than conventional I-sections due to their higher torsional rigidity over the later ones. However, CFS members are vulnerable to local buckling, substantially due to their thin-walled features. The use of packing, such as firmly connected timber planks, to the flanges of conventional CFS lipped I-sections can drastically improve their flexural performance as well as structural efficiency. Whilst several CFS composites have been developed so far, only limited packing materials have been tried. This paper presents a series of tests carried out on different rectangular hollow compression flanged sections with innovative packing materials. Four-point flexural tests were carried out to assess the flexural capacity, failure modes and deformed shapes of the CFS composite beam specimens. The geometric imperfections were measured and reported. The North American Specifications and Indian Standard for cold-formed steel structures were used to compare the design strengths of the experimental specimen. The test results indicate clearly that CFS rectangular 'compression' flanged composite beams perform significantly better than the conventional rectangular hollow flanged CFS sections.

In this study, an edge device that monitors the injection molding process by measuring the mold vibration(acceleration) signal and the mold surface temperature was developed and evaluated its performance. During injection molding, signals of the injection start, V/P switchover, and packing end sections were obtained through the measurement of the mold vibration and the injection time and packing time were calculated by using the difference between the times of the sections. Then, the mold closed and mold open signals were obtained using a magnetic hall sensor, and cycle time was calculated by using the time difference between the mold closed time each process. As a result of evaluating the performance by comparing the process data monitored by the edge device with the shot data recorded on the injection molding machine, the cycle time, injection time, and packing time showed very small error of 0.70±0.38%, 1.40±1.17%, and 0.69±0.82%, respectively, and the values close to the actual were monitored and the accuracy and reliability of the edge device were confirmed. In addition, it was confirmed that the mold surface temperature measured by the edge device was similar to the actual mold surface temperature.

According to the study and experiments performed on the Improvement of Maintaining Temperature of Aviation Dangerous Goods, a conclusion was drawn that clear technical guidelines should be established from the design and assembly stage of temperature-controlled packaging, taking into account actual transportation environment. In particular, profiles consisting of only two types of summer and winter are difficult to adjust flexibly in transportation process with severe weather and temperature changes such as spring and fall. To this end, there is a need to establish a compromise profile configuration for summer and winter. It was also found that the condition of the refrigerant, temperature control, and the speed of the packaging operation have a significant impact on maintaining constant temperature. Therefore, all packing operations need to be completed within a short period of time in the environment close to the target temperature. The current packing instructions provided by packaging manufacturers do not provide precise instructions on post-conditioning, but the experiments in this study confirmed that post-conditioning is very important for maintaining the target temperature, so it is necessary to provide precise legal packing technical instructions.

본 본문에서는 LPG 용기용 가스밸브의 O-링과 밸브패킹의 밀봉결함과 크랙에 관련된 실험적 연구를 수행하고자 한다. LP 가스의 누출을 방지하기 위해 사용하는 O-링은 LPG 밸브의 밀봉 안전성을 확보하는 핵심부품으로 대단히 중요하다. 밸브패킹은 LPG 연료의 공급과 충전을 하는데, 가스 공급구를 열고 닫는 중요한 역할을 담당한다. 이들 두개의 밀봉부품에 대한 성능은 밸브의 누설 안전성과 장수명에 밀접한 관련이 있다. 연구결과에 의하면, O-링의 대부분은 파티션 부근의 결합불량과 과도한 압축률로 인해 원주방향으로 크랙이 발생하는 것으로 분석되었다. 그 이외의 결함으로 거론된 경우는 LP가스의 과도한 가스압력으로 인한 압출현상의 발생은 압출크랙을 일으키는 원인으로 작용하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 가스밸브의 누설 안전성을 확보하고 수명을 연장하기 위해 O-링과 밸브패킹에 대한 엄격한 품질관리와 인증제도의 도입을 권장하고자 한다. 결국에는 LPG용기용 밸브의 품질과 안전성 확보를 위해 밀봉장치에 대한 품질안전 보증제도를 도입해야 밸브를 오랫동안 사용할 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구에서는 생활 폐기물 매립지 현장에 파일럿 규모의 바이오커버(pilot-scale biocover, PBC) 2기를 설치하고, 240일 동안 메탄 제거 효율을 모니터링하였다. 또한, 바이오커버 충전 소재를 채취하여 혈청병에서 잠재 메탄 산화능을 평가하였다. 바이오커버로 유입되는 메탄 농도는 23.7-47.9%(평균 값 = 41.3%, 중간값 = 42.6%) 수준이었다. 토양, 지렁이 분변토 및 퇴비 혼합물(7:2:1, v/v)을 충전 소재로 구축한 PBC1의 메탄 제거 효율은 60.7-85.5%이었다. 토양, 지렁이 분변토, perlite 및 퇴비 혼합물(4:2:3:1, v/v)을 충전 소재로 구축한 PBC2의 표메탄 제거 효율은 29.2-78.5%이었다. 그러나, 바이오커버의 충전 소재 자체의 메탄 잠재 산화 능력이 우수함에도 불구하고(평균메탄산화속도 = $180-199{\mu}g\;CH_4{\cdot}g\;packing\;material^{-1}{\cdot}h^{-1}$), 충전 소재의 다짐현상과 채널링이 발생하면 PBC1과 PBC2의 메탄 제거 효율은 0-30%로 저하되었다. 한편, 바이오커버의 메탄 제거 효율은 계절(외부 기온)에 따른 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 본 연구로부터 도출된 결과는 향후 매립지 현장에 실규모의 메탄 저감용 바이오커버를 설계하고 운전 조건을 구축하는데 유용하게 활용 가능하다.

In the resin transfer molding, there are many advantages such as high volume, high performance, and low cost, The permeability is essential in the design and operation of the process, Traditionally, the determination of permeability can be divided as three methods, which are experimental measurement, analytical, and numerical prediction using the Darcy's law. In this study, the permeability in the microscopic level is first computed on the square-packing and hexagonal packing structures of the filaments inside the yarn by using CVFEM. (omitted)

Due to its ability in producing a net-shape product to high precision in a very shot cycle time, injection molding has become one of the most important polymer-processings in the industry today. Recently the CAE applications in the field of injection molding have provided significant contributions to the mold design and process optimization. As a part of such an application the packing process has been studied using C-PARK. The prediction of pressure variations during post-filling stage for amorphous material has been compared with an experimental observation for a simple rectangular geometry of uniform thickness. And the optimal packing processes were calculated using the cavity pressure curve near the gate. As a case study, a warpage simulation was carried out for a DY-HOLDER with the variable number of gates.
