A brake system in automobile is one of the important parts that directly affect the safety of passengers. Particularly, disk brake module is applied to almost all kinds of automobile brake system due to its remarkable braking power and braking distance. In the disk brake module of an automobile, the bolt for tire wheel is assembled to the disk brake hub by interference fit(bolt pressing process). The process induces small deformation whose range is within tens of ${\mu}m$ and this deformation may cause the runout badness of the whole disk brake module, and even braking problems such as judder or squeal phenomena which makes the loss of braking efficiency. In this study, bolt pressing fit into hub was simulated by $ANSYS^{TM}$, a commercial structure analysis program. Also, the aspect and the cause of hub displacement were analyzed and the solution for decreasing runout of hub was proposed.

Pressure vessels usually consist of main body and pipes which are connected with the main body. And as joining method of such main body and pipes, welding is carried out. After welding, welding residual stresses inevitably occur around welded joints. As residual stresses act harmfully on fatigue strength, corrosion and buckling strength of structure, PWHT is carried out for the purpose of removing the residual stress. But, during PWHT process, 2 ¼Cr-1Mo steels are frequently apt to generate reheat crack. For this reason, it is strongly needed to analyze and examine the mechanical behavior of welded joints before and after PWHT process. So, in this study, welded nozzle parts of pressure vessel where reheat cracks frequently occur are selected for examining the mechanism of crack-occurrence. (Received December 2, 1999)

After welding, welding residual stresses inevitably occur around welded joints. As residual stresses act harmfully on fatigue strength, corrosion and buckling strength of structure, PWHT is carried out for the purpose of removing the residual stress. But, during PWHT process, $2\frac{1}{4}Cr-1Mo$ steels are frequently apt to generate reheat crack. For this reason, it is strongly needed to analyze and examine the mechanical behavior of welded joints before and after PWHT process. So, in this study, welded nozzle parts of pressure vessel where reheat cracks frequently occur are selected for examining the mechanism of crack-occurrence.

The shear spinning process, where the plastic deformation zone is localized in a very small portion of the workpiece, shows a promise for increasingly broader application to the production of axially symmetric parts. In this paper, the three components of working force are calculated by the newly proposed deformation model in which the spinning process is understood as shearing deformation after uniaxial yielding by bending, and shear stress, $\tau_{rz}$ becomes $\kappa$, yield limit in pure shear, in the deformation zone. The tangential forces are first calculated and the feed forces and the normal forces are obtained by the assumption of uniform distribution of roller pressure on the contact surface. The optimum contact area is obtained by minimizing the bending energy required to get the assumed deformation of the blank. The calculated forces are compared with experimental results. A comparison shows that theoretical prediction is reasonably in good agreement with experimental results.

Flare nut is an important Part that used to joint a brake tube-end in automobiles. It was made of SWCH 10A by machining. But we studied to make it by metal forming. The main focus of this paper is to investigate an optimal forging processes for flare nut using the DEFORM$^{TM}$-3D. commercially available finite element code and tests. Actually an explicit finite element analysis of the flare nut forging processes has been carried out to predict an optimal shape of the flare nut and its results were reflected in the tests of the forging processes design for flare nut. The simulation results which had obtained from finite element analysis were contributed to the forging processes design for flare nut. An optimal shape of nave nut showed agreements with test results. Furthermore. this paper should contribute to a development of the forging process for a variety of parts.s.

Recently, precision forging techniques are applied to manufacture spur gears. Compared to conventional machining, they produce parts of better mechanical properties and less residual stresses with a much higher production rate. In the present investigation a rigid-plastic three dimensional finite element method was applied to analyze hot forging and cold sizing of a spur gear by closed dies. The involute curve of a tooth profile was approximated by a circle close to the curve. Results of the analyses make it possible to predict local strengths of the gear die failure and an appropriate preform for cold sizing. It was found that the preform for cold sizing. It was found that the preform for the cold sizing is the most important because it determines whether the gears especially teeth can be successfully formed.

Burr is an undesirable projection as result of plastic deformation. Burr minimization and effective deburring process are required strongly to reduce the cost of the parts. In doing these efforts, the precise burr measurement must be provided for the efficient process. For this purpose the conoscopic holography sensors are selected before. However, it has been very difficult to measure micro burrs less than $10{\mu}m$ due to their tiny and sharp geometries as well as the effect of ambient vibration during scanning. A new micro burr measurement system using high precision. Conoprobe sensor and XY table can measure the micro burrs which is less than $10{\mu}m$. Experiments were carried out showing that micro burr around $10{\mu}m$ was successfully measured and analyzed.

The quality of injection molded parts is affected by the variables such as materials, design variables of part and mold, molding machine, and processing conditions. It is difficult to consider all the variables at the same time to predict the quality. In this paper neural network was applied to analyze the relationship between processing conditions and volumetric shrinkage of part. Engineering plastic gear was used for the study, and the learning data was extracted by the simulation software like Moldflow. Results of neural network was good agreement with simulation results. Nonlinear regression model was formulated using the test data of 3,125 obtained from neural network, Optimal processing conditions were calculated to minimize the volumetric shrinkage of molded part by the application of RQP(Recursive Quadratic Programming) algorithm.

Purpose: Reduction by simply assembling bones is recognized as treatment for a zygoma fracture. However, in patients who originally had a protruding zygoma, the fractured parts look like malarplasty after the edema subsides, giving a soft impression which patients notice. Thus, we created symmetry through simultaneous contralateral malar reduction in a unilateral zygoma fracture. Methods: In this study, the patients who had surgery between July, 2008 and December, 2009 with admission were object. In 76 patients with a zygoma fracture, the patients with bilateral zygoma fractures were excluded. Among 48 patients who had a reduction only after a unilateral zygoma fracture, the patients hoping for a reduction of their rough protruding zygoma were analyzed with front cephalometry. The study progressed on 22 patients who had simultaneous contralateral malar reduction in a unilateral zygoma fracture with consent. After fixing the fracture, we did a straight zygoma osteotomy through a 1.5 cm intraoral incision. After that, we created symmetry with a special ruler and fixed the broken zygomatic arch with a screw and plate. We evaluated the facial index and satisfaction with a statistical analysis before and after the surgery. Results: In 22 patients, there was no reoperation except for 1 patient who had a zygoma fracture. None of the patients were treated for infection or hematoma. Two patients complained of paresthesia after the malar reduction operation, but this subsided in 4 months. Most of them were satisfied with the malar reduction, especially the women, and we obtained a better mid facial contour with decreased facial width ($p$ <0.05). Conclusion: Existing zygoma fracture surgery focuses on anatomical reduction. However, we need to have a cosmetic viewpoint in fractures as interests of face contour arise. Thus, contralateral malar reduction got a 4.7 (range 0~5) from patients who had malar reduction surgery in our hospital. Although adjusting to all zygoma fractures has limitations, it can be a new method in zygoma fractures when there are limited indications of protruding zygoma and careful attention is given to patients' high demands.

Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), one of lightweight materials, is the fiber structure using carbon fiber. It is the composite material that has the characteristics of carbon and plastic. As for the fiber structure, it has the great strength due to fiber direction. CFRP for woven type is used mostly as such a CFRP with lightweight. Woven type is more stable when compared with unidirectional type. On the other hand, woven type is highly priced. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the fiber structure of unidirectional CFRP. In this study, as the stacking angle [0/X/-X/0], X is the variable. This is unidirectional CFRP in which the angle phase of X has been reversed and stacked. By using such a unidirectional CFRP, the analysis model which had a crack at the center as the form of panel with the thickness of 2 mm was used. On analysis, the load is applied on the upper and lower parts being connected with a pin. The damage in the area near center crack was investigated. As for the analysis model, 3D surface model was designed by using CATIA. For CFRP stacking, the stacking direction was determined by using ACP in ANSYS program and the analysis model with two stacks was made. Afterwards, the structural analysis was carried out.
