Samples of the aluminum alloy 3103 sheets were repeatedly deformed by ECAR up to twelve passes. Shear textures developed after the first passage of ECAR. However, the intensity of shear texture components decreased with increasing number of ECAR passages. Observations by TEM and EBSD revealed that the degree of misorientations within the deformed grains increased with increasing number of ECAR passes. Changes in textures and microstructures were hardly observed during recrystallization anneal. Upon subsequent annealing, the samples deformed by a large number of ECAR passes displayed a continuous grain growth. A higher deformation by ECAR resulted in a slower softening, which reflects the stability of ultra-fine grains against the grain growth.

The deterioration of a shunting locomotive was characterized for the lifetime assessment. The locomotive has been used for shunting works in steel making processes, and in this investigation, various types of technical evaluation methods for the locomotive parts were employed to assess the current deterioration status and to provide important clue for lifetime prediction. Unlike other rolling stocks in railway applications, the diesel shunting locomotive is composed of major components such as diesel engine, transmission, gear box, brake system, electronic devices, etc., which cover more than 70 percent of the total price of the locomotive. Therefore, in this paper, each part of major components in the diesel locomotive was analyzed in terms of the degree of deterioration. The lift-cycle-cost (LCC) analysis was performed based on the maintenance and repair history as compared with economical cost to provide the cost-effective prediction, i.e., to assess either repair for reuse or putting the locomotive out of service based on cost-effective calculation.

This paper designs a looper-tension controller for strip top-tail parts in hot strip finishing mills. A three-degree linear model of the looper-tension system is derived by a Taylor's linearization method, where the actuator's dynamics are ignored because of their fast responses. A feedforward shaping controller for the strip top part and a feedforward model reference controller for the strip tail part are respectively designed, they are combined with an ILQ(Inverse Linear Quadratic optimal control) feedback controller for the strip middle part. It is shown from by a computer simulation that the proposed controller is very effective to the strip top-tail parts including the middle part.

This paper presents the technology of condition diagnosis & life estimation on insulation system of the traction motor. In the non-destructive methods for diagnosis of coil insulation state, residual dielectric strength is estimated by the D-map which consist of the partial discharge quantity Q and average degradation degree $\Delta$. In the operating history of machine, the N-Y life estimation method is based on the stop-starting numbers and operating times with considering each degradation factor by the thermal, electrical and heat-cycle stress. With the on-line conditioning monitoring on the currents of traction motors, detecting the abnormal operating state due to bearing faults, stator or armature faults, eccentricity related faults and broken rotor bars can be performed.

This paper deals with the voltage unbalance of DC link voltage in series connected two 6-step inverters with double chopper preregulator. Each output of the 6-step inverter is connected to each transformer. The secondary windings of one of the transformers is zig-zag connected and the other star connected. The secondary terminals of the two transformers are series connected which makes 12-step output voltage waveform. In this case, the characteristics of the two transformers are rather different each other. The difference results in the voltage unbalance of the two 6-step inverter input capacitor voltages which make the DC link voltage. The degree of the voltage unbalance is analysied with the variations of load power, load power factor and % impedance of the transformer.

The effect of annealing condition on the texture and microstructure development in Ni tapes fabricated by cold-rolling including powder metallurgy was investigated. The Pole-figure results showed that the Ni tapes annealed at lower temperature than 50$0^{\circ}C$ were the mixture of brass deformation texture and cube texture. The specimens annealed at high temperatures had only well-developed cube texture and the FWHMs of in-plane and out-of-plane were in the range of 8-10$^{\circ}$. The degree of texture was not significantly depended on annealing temperatures. The grain morphologies of Ni tapes prepared at low temperatures showed serrated grain boundaries due to incomplete recrystallization, but the specimens prepared at high temperatures showed stabilized grain shape without serrated grain boundaries.

All electric trains in the city should be run without any troubles of the equipments in order to offer good services to the passengers. But some breakdowns occur when they are operated due to the long time uses. There are mechanical troubles and electrical troubles included reactors. Most of them, the reason of the troubles can be found out easily after breakdown. But it is difficult to find out the reasons of the reactor troubles which disappear after operation. The reactors of the train filter the current which supplied from electrical lines and supply the current to the inverter and block the ripple of the current. Partial discharge occur from the reactor by the heat. accordingly, If the signals of discharge were perceived, it could be anticipate the deterioration degree of insulation. In this paper, on-monitoring system for reactor's troubles in trains is established and the output results of monitoring system are investigated.

In this study, computational multi-body dynamics and structural vibration analyses including some impact condition have been conducted for the ground flight test system of the developed smart UAV model. Designed ground test system has four degree-of-freedom motions with limited motion control mechanism. Design safety margin designs for several structural components are tested and verified considering expected critical motions (pitching and rolling) of the test smart UAV model. Computational results for various analysis conditions are practically presented in detail. Futhermore, proper design modifications of the initially designed test equipment in order to guarantee or increase structural safety have been successfully conducted in the design stage.
