Accelerated life test is a viable method for identifying failure modes, incorporating design changes on an on-going basis during the early stages of automotive development program. The information from tests at high stress levels is extrapolated to obtain estimate of life at normal stress levels. This paper presents a practical method for accelerated life test to achieve a specified accuracy in estimating life at a design stress. Recommended and optimum plan are presented and the plans are illustrated with a simulated test data for the automotive power element example.

Regulated Deficit Irrigation (RDI) is one of the most important measures for the water-saving and high yield of crops. RDI is based on the crop and water relations. The theories of RDI were analyzed using the experiment data in Shaanxi and Gansu Province. There are several problems of RDI in practical use, which include; the uncertainty of crop-water relations, the proper growth stages and water deficit degree of RDI applied, and the requirements of RDI to irrigation system and irrigation techniques.

Proper pretest planning is a vital component of any successful vibration test on engineering structures. The most important issue in dynamic testing of many engineering structures is arriving at the number and optimal placement of sensors. The sensors must be placed on the structure in such a way that all the important dynamic behaviour of a structural system is captured during the course of the test with sufficient accuracy so that the information can be effectively utilised for structural parameter identification or health monitoring. Several optimal sensor placement (OSP) techniques are proposed in the literature and each of these methods have been evaluated with respect to a specific problem encountered in various engineering disciplines like aerospace, civil, mechanical engineering, etc. In the present work, we propose to perform a detailed characteristic evaluation of some selective popular OSP techniques with respect to their application to practical civil engineering problems. Numerical experiments carried out in the paper on various practical civil engineering structures indicate that effective independence (EFI) method is more consistent when compared to all other sensor placement techniques.

The various designs are preferred as well as IT appliances development of the internet based with consumer needs. It's real that the tool development technology of shortened lead time is also requested for production tool fabrication for the launch of new products. A process technology for shortening tool development period was one of the very important practical education from tooling suppliers related to mold development, and we are in competition with having the three elements of short due date, the quality and the production cost for new products. In this paper, the tooling development education and training program with current product development won't be systematic, and we hope to improve educational training process lacking in the reality and to advance the application model of practical centered education and training program of practical technology ability improvement and process technology improvement for shorting tool development period which can be performed at the workplace substantially.

This is the dissertation of the study of design characteristics about the practical flexible manufacturing system (PFMS). The basic ideas to analyze the manufacturing system which is the automatically operated is dependant on the various manufacturing procedures in factory. PFMS is the very useful equipment for students and trainee of production lines. This system is composed of hardware and software sub systems i.e. control and test unit and personal computer with software. The PFMS can be developed with design concepts and approved the capability of first article with functional tests. The PFMS module will be very useful for the manufacturing drill system in universities and practical fields. The flexible manufacturing systems have various subsystems appropriated for the final manufacturing products. Therefore the systems have the various kinds of hard wares as well as softwares. We study the software for the practical flexible manufacturing system designed in the Halla University and specially the design concept and using specification of the SCARA (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm) robot which is used for the movement of the product is analyzed and introduced in this dissertation.

Most of mechanical structures are composed of many substructures connected to one another by various types of mechanical joints. In automotive engineering, it is important to study these connected structures under various dynamic forces for the evaluations of fatigue life and stress concentration exactly. In this study, the dynamic response of vehicle structure to external forces is classified an inverse problem involving strains from the experiment and the analysis. The practical dynamic forces are determined by the combination of the analytical and experimental method with analyzed strain by quasi-static finite element analysis under unit force and with measured strain by a strain gage under driving load, respectively. In a stressed body, inter-molecular chemical bonds are failed beyond the certain magnitude. The failure of molecular structure in material is considered as a time process of which rate is determined by mechanical stress. That is, the failure of inter-molecular chemical bonds is the fatigue lift of material. This kinetic concept is expressed as lethargy coefficient. And S-N curve is obtained with the lethargy coefficient from quasi-static tensile test. Equivalent practical dynamic force is obtained from the identification of practical dynamic force for one loading point. Using the practical dynamic force and S-N curve, fatigue life of a window pillar is analyzed with FEM under the identified force by the procedure of above mentioned.

This paper presents a control method for time-delay systems and verifies the performance of the designed control system via real experiments. Specifically, the control method is applied to a flexible-link system with time delays. The method combines time- and frequency-domain controllers: linear quadratic optimal controller (or LQR) and lag compensator. The LQR is used to stabilize the system in optimal fashion, whereas the lag compensator is used to compensate time-delay effects by increasing the delay margin of the system. With this methodology, the maximum allowable time delay can be increased significantly. The proposed method is simple but quite practical for time-delay system control as it is based on the conventional loop-shaping method, which gives practical insights on delay-phase relationship. Simulation and experiment results show that the method presented in this paper is feasible and practical.

Vibration-based structural identification has become an important tool for structural health monitoring and safety evaluation. However, various kinds of uncertainties (e.g., observation noise) involved in the field test data obstruct automation system identification for accurate and fast structural safety evaluation. A practical way including a data preprocessing procedure and a vector backward auto-regressive (VBAR) method has been investigated for practical bridge identification. The data preprocessing procedure serves to improve the data quality, which consists of multi-level uncertainty mitigation techniques. The VBAR method provides a determinative way to automatically distinguish structural modes from extraneous modes arising from uncertainty. Ambient test data of a cantilever beam is investigated to demonstrate how the proposed method automatically interprets vibration data for structural modal estimation. Especially, structural identification of a truss bridge using field test data is also performed to study the effectiveness of the proposed method for real bridge identification.

When we cut a key way on the axial or on the boss, we generally use a slotter or a broach. To do the key seating, turing operations have to be preceded and then the key on the axial or on the boss can be seated. For this reason, the production process of key way cutting becomes complicated. If is necessary to simplify the process and we have developed a small practical machine for key way cutting. The machine is located on the carriage of the lathe. Using this small and practical key way machine, after operation the turing, you do not have to remove the workpiece from the chuck of the lathe to carry on the key seating process. The developed machine will save cutting time and the cost.
