In this study, a guide vane with varying positions and incidence angles was adopted to a pin-fin channel to analyze the change in thermal performance and pressure loss characteristics. A numerical analysis was conducted to investigate the effect of incidence angles and positions on heat transfer and flow characteristics at Re =1400. The results of it were compared those of a pin-fin channel without a guide vane. In case 1 when the incidence angle is $0^{\circ}$, the heat transfer performance is maximized and improved by approximately 5% when compared to the pin-fin channel without the guide vane. In case 2 when the incidence angle is $10^{\circ}$, the pressure loss is minimized and decreased by approximately 1.9% when compared to the pin-fin channel without the guide vane.

Mn-doped Pb(In_1/2Nb_1/2)O₃-Pb(Mg_2/3Nb_1/3)O₃-PbTiO₃ (Mn:PIN-PMN-PT) single crystals, which exhibit improved phase transition temperatures and coercive field properties compared to Pb(In_1/2Nb_1/2)O₃-Pb(Mg_2/3Nb_1/3)O₃-PbTiO₃ (PIN-PMN-PT) single crystals, are expected to be utilized in high-power acoustic transducers. Bridgeman method, growing single crystals along the axial direction from melt, is most widely used method for single crystal growth with large size and high quality. However, single crystal boules grown by the Bridgeman method demonstrate a PT compositional variation, giving rise a distribution of crystal structure and material properties along the growing axis. To employ piezoelectric single crystals grown by the Bridgeman method for acoustic transducers, it is essential to investigate their overall property distribution. In this study, the compositional distribution and property variation of Mn:PIN-PMN-PT single crystals grown by the Bridgeman method was investigated. Measured compositional distribution of PT was from 29% to 32.5% in the Rhombohedral crystal region of the boule. Two types of specimen, [011]-poled Mn:PIN-PMN-29PT and Mn:PIN-PMN-32PT single crystals, were fabricated and tested to obtain full property variation at both ends of the Rhombohedral crystal region. The properties related to the 32 directional vibration mode and the properties related to high-power driving were measured to confirm the overall distribution of properties by composition.

This research analyzed the acoustic emission signals collected from the pin loading tests and investigated the effect of hygrothermal exposure on the fracture behavior of the pin-jointed carbon fiber/epoxy composites. The composite specimens include: the Base specimen that has not been exposed to any environments, the RT specimen that has been immersed in room temperature water, and the HT specimen that has been immersed in high temperature water. According to the pin loading test, the RT and the HT specimens showed 2.2% and 13% decreases in the bearing strength compared to the Base specimen, respectively. The analysis of the acoustic emission signals showed different fracture acceleration points for three types of the specimens. Furthermore, for the RT and the HT specimens, the event from the matrix crack signals in the composites decreased. This shows the effect of the hygrothermal conditions on the acoustic emission signals. Additionally, upon investigating the fracture behaviors of the pin-jointed composites, the exposing specimens to hygrothermal environments decreases the interfacial characteristics of the composites.

Currently, unmanned military vehicles under development in Korea have more devices to carry out various missions, and interface cables between them are also increasing. In addition, due to a small space problem inside the unmanned vehicle, devices are required to be miniaturized and integrated. For two reasons, connectors also need to be selected, which makes them vulnerable to noise due to the closer distance between the pins. In this paper, we analyzed how much the magnetic field produced by noise at the connector pin where cable twist is released affects the surrounding pin and presented the guide for optimal pin placement. First, the effect of magnetic field is greater than the crosstalk between pin and pin. Second, the magnetic field on both sides between + and - is strong when approaching one step with noise source. Third, the magnetic field strength is improved when setting the ground pin as the ground pin between the noise and the original signal when approaching the A noise source and the two steps. Fourth, in the case of a differential mode communication, the optimal placement area of the sensitive signal was presented according to positions Tx± and Rx±.

The contact stress characteristics of the domestic CPF pin when inserted into the rigid PTH was analyzed using the finite element method. The model geometry was based on the shape of the existing pin and the two different PTH diameters were used in the analysis. The stress distributions with respect to the friction coefficients were compared and the stress variations of the compliant part of the pin, which have an influence on the performance, were displayed with the time and the arc length on complete connection.

Ferrule is widely used as fiber optic connecters. In fiber-optic communications, the shape accuracy such as coaxiality and cylindricity of ferrule affects insertion loss. When coaxial grinding of ferrule supported by two pin, pin alignment and chucking accuracy are very important. In this research, the kinematic behavior of the ferrule center is investigated in the case where cone-shaped center pins and round circle hales which make contact with each other near the edge of the holes, using homeogenous coordinate transformation and numerical analysis. The obtained results are as follows: The alignment errors between center pins alone do not affect the rotation accuracy of ferrule. The alignment errors between center holes cause a sinusoidal displacement of ferrule. And the maximum displacement of ferrule centers increase in proportion to the center pin angle in the case of a fixed alignment errors

The scattering of plane ultrasonic waves by the nuclear fuel pin of liquid metal reactor in sodium is studied. According to the internal composition in the cladding tube, the fuel pin has three cross sections, i.e. helium gas plenum, sodium-filled section, and fuel insertion section. The scattering spectra for each section of the fuel pin are different. The circumnavigating ultrasonic waves of each section are analyzed by the resonance scattering method. The whispering gallery wave modes are generated in the sodium-filled plenum section and the fuel rod insertion section with a sodium-gap. The circumferential wave modes are propagated in the cladding tube of the helium gas plenum section. The annular gap between the cladding tube and metal uranium pellet rod affects the scattering spectra. The different propagation characteristics can be utilized for the nondestructive method of detecting the unbonded area and measuring the level of the sodium-filled section of the fuel pin.

The effects of contact pressure on the sliding wear behavior of mild steel in a pin-on-disc type apparatus were investigated. Sliding wear tests were conducted with various combinations of the load and apparent area of contact. The wear behavior of mild steel as a function of sliding speed was independent of contact pressure. However, the wear rate at different sliding speeds was influenced by the load regardless of the apparent area of contact. This was attributed to the fact that there may be no difference in the real area of contact for any combination of the load and apparent area of contact.

The flexural strength from 3-point bend test and fatigue properties were measured to evaluate mechanical properties of metal/ceramic interface of the multilayer ceramic package produced through tape casting. From the results, the specimens with three electrode layers showed the highest strength. The temperature distribution with time during thermal cycle and thermal stresses with the change of electrode's shape have been estimated by mathematical modelling. Specimen affected by thermal shock, produced microcracks by the difference of thermal expansion coefficient. The results of tensile test and fatigue test showed the rupture at pin. The fact that the pin brazed specimens were always fractured at the pin proved the good bonding condition between pin and electrode.
