Recently, automobile parts progress with modularization, which a great many allied products are modularized. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develope modular housing for modularization of steering gear. Generally, steering gear housing is composed of valve housing and rack housing, it is important to combine two housings. However, housing having the pipe shape is very sensitive to welding distortion, and welding trajectory is very complicated. In order to solve this subject, cooperative control by using robots was constructed. Further, we developed the dedicated system to suit modular housing based on it, and applied laser welding to there. Moreover, welding speed was controlled in the rapid curve section so that the defect in trajectory of housing was reduced to obtain sound weldment. Accordingly, produced housing by this way is presented enough withstanding pressure to $100kg/cm^2$, and roundness and straightness are measured about 10/100 and 0.9/100 respectively.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a radiometric analysis of radicular cysts and periapical granulomas is useful in the differential diagnosis. In this experiment, twenty-nine periapical radiographs of the radicular cyst and those periapical granuloma were used. The periapical radiography was taken by intraoral paralleling device. The X-ray film was digitized and digitally filtered to reduce film-grain noise. We estimated density difference of the inner/outer area, roundness or circularity, bone profile or scan line of the margin and cumulative percentage frequency curve of radicular cyst & periapical granuloma. The obtained results were as follows; 1. The differences in density between ROIs of inner and outer area of radicular cysts were smaller than those of periapical granulomas. 2. The equivalent circular diameter was over 6.3mm, there was significant difference between periapical cyst and periapical granuloma. 3. In differential diagnosis of radicular cyst and periapical granuloma using bone profile. sensitivity. specificity and accuracy were considerably high(0.83. 0.86. 0.86) respectively. 4. Cumulative percentage frequency curve of the radicular cyst was closer to the pseudo-pixel value of 50 than average curve, whereas periapical granuloma was closer to that of 0. Hence we conclude that digital radiometric features might be useful in the differential diagnosis between radicular cyst and periapical granuloma.

Structural effects of several geometric parameters such as shroud thickness, edge roundness and fillet radius of turbopump turbine blade were investigated throughout transient finite element analyses. Usually shroud is inserted to increase aerodynamic efficiency, but blocks deformation of blades. Therefore it can increase stress level in a structural point of view. Likewise, edge roundness and fillet between blades are also parameters where aerodynamics and structural mechanics should compromise. In this study, overall stress levels according to the geometric parameters were thoroughly investigated and the results could be utilized to determine optimal geometries.

Precision machine tools for high dignity cutting are needed for efforts to improve machining accuracy. However, there are many factors to improve machining accuracy. This study investigated how machining accuracy changes when variation and unbalance amount in rotational speed domain is decreased. Machining accuracy of initial machine tools depends on manufacturing and assembly of parts such as bearing. And then, vibration and noise vary with volume of unbalance amount when it is rotation, so it effects unbalance amount. Also vibration and noise increased by unbalance shorten spindle's life and it especially makes worse boring accuracy. Therefore, this study studied the change of roundness and cylindricity of workpiece when it decreases variation and unbalance in rotational speed domain.

This paper describes on the establishment of an optimal internal grinding conditions for the purpose of improving the grinding efficiency against to the high-speed grinding. Through the fundamental grinding tests for the brittle and hardened material, we are concluded that high-speed internal grinding is effective to improve the grinding accuracy as well as the grinding efficiency. The obtained results are as follows: (1) Under the speed ratio $(V_w/V_g)$ is constant, it is possible to increase the grinding efficiency with satifying the constraint conditions. (2) Increasing the wheel velocity, surface roughness and out-roundness are improved. (3) Under the wheel depth of cut is constant and increasing the speed ratio, workpiece residual stress is decreased. The described method, in this paper, is capable of determining the optimum internal grinding conditions taking into account some constraint conditions, and practical algorithm for optimum internal grinding conditions are presented.

Ball bearings which were fitted between housing and shaft play an important role in rotating shaft system smoothly, Therefore bearing's running accuracy has significant influence on that of rotating machinery. Manufacturing accuracy of bearings as well as that of shaft and housing is main factor to affect bearing running accuracy In this paper, bearing's vibration and fatigue life considering raceway roundness of ball bearing before and after being fitted into housing are theoretically estimated. To perform analysis, a simple three degrees of freedom model was proposed and then these analysis was conducted utilizing the Newton-Raphson iterative method. The results show that vibration magnitude of ball bearing fitted into housing is considerably larger than before assembly, and bearing's theoretical L$_{10}$ fatigue life that ninety percent of the bearing population will endure decreased in about fifty percent.

In this study, the physico-chemical and biological characteristics of anaerobic granular sludge at different heights of a full-scale UASB reactor (UASBr) were investigated. Granular sludge was taken from 1 m, 2 m, and 3 m above the ground level in the UASBr. The morphological analysis showed that the upper part had bigger granules and the lower part had rounder granules. The ANOVA test confirmed that the mean size and the roundness of the granules had statistically significant difference along the height at 95% confidence level, and there was a significant negative linear relationship between the size and roundness (r=-0.40, p<0.05). A SMA test using acetic, propionic and butyric acids showed that granules from 2 m height had the highest specific methanogenic activity. The EPS contents were also unequal to each height, with 2 m showing the highest content. These findings could be helpful to understand the different characteristics of stratified anaerobic granules in full-scale UASBr and maintain the reactor performance.
