Cavity pressure is a factor of what is occurring inside the mold and is used as one of the process parameters that control the overall injection molding cycle. The insight of cavity pressure is able to predict part quality and optimum process condition. In this paper, it is adapted ejector pin sensor to measure the cavity pressure and investigates the flow balance and the cavity pressure according to different runner thickness for adjusting the flow balance. Flow balance is very important to have not the poor results such as flash and warpage in the family mold. This paper predicted flow balance and cavity pressure using CAE analysis tool and compared with the test results. The results of analysis and test have a good agreement with the cavity pressure profile and flow pattern of the test.

Pressure distribution in the cavity during injection molding affects part quality. In this study pressure distributions in the runner, near gate in the cavity, and end of ail in the cavity have been measured using direct pressure sensors for various molding conditions. Molding conditions were injection speed, injection pressure, packing time from filing stage, and packing pressure. Through experiments it was realized that the packing time from filling stage and packing pressure are the dominant factors on the part quality such as part shrinkage. Experimental results have been compared with computer simulations.

This study focuses on part quality and cycle times under gas-assisted injection molding (GIM) of box shape molded parts. The position of the gas channel was established near to parting line at the end of last locations to fill. Applied hot runner and valve gates, the gas was introduced directly into the mold cavity via gas pin. As GIM was applied, the conclusion reached as follows. I) The quality of appearance was improved by reducing sink marks and scratches of texture. ii) The reliability was improved by preventing warpages and reinforcing rigidity through optimum gas channel layout. iii) It is enable to use small size of injection molding machine step by step as GIM was accomplished low pressure and reduced clamp forces against CIM. iv) The productivity were improved by reducing cycle times.

The propeller type hydro turbine model with vertical axis has been tested and analized. The blade angle of runner of turbine model were designed to be varied according to the condition of head and flowrate. When the changes in head and output were comparatively large, the efficiency drop were small, so the efficiency characteristics and stability of the entire operating condition were maintained in good condition. These results showed that the developed model in this study will be suitable for small hydro power stations with large changes in head and load such as sewage treatment plants and agricultural reservoirs.

Compared with ordinary varieties, the cold resistant lines were heavy in fresh weight of seedling, low in stalk elongation. Their leaf-types were complete runner types, and they were high in wintering rate, and were abundant in the branch number and in pod numbers per branch. They were high in the seed yield.

플라스틱은 가공이 용이하기 때문에 우리 생활에 널리 이용되고 있다. 과거에는 단순히 제품의 외장제로 이용되었지만 산업이 발달함에 따라 금속을 대체 할 정도로 사용 범위가 증가하고 있다. 또한 사용량이 증가함에 따라 제품의 생산량을 증가시키기 위해선 다수 캐비티의 금형 사용이 필수적으로 되었다. 다수 캐비티 사출성형에서 각 캐비티 간 제품의 품질 및 물성을 향상시키기 위해선 각 캐비티로 충전되는 수지가 균형을 이루어야 한다. 하지만 기하학적으로 균형을 갖추고 있는 러너를 설계하여도 실제 사출성형에서는 불균형 충전이 일어나게 된다. 이러한 불균형 충전은 미국의 Beaumont에 의해서 처음 규명된 뒤 충전불균형 현상을 해결하기 위해 많은 연구가 진행되었다. 본 논문에서는 다수 캐비티 사출성형에서 균형충전을 위한 러너시스템을 제안하였다. 이 러너시스템은 온도가 불균일한 수지의 흐름을 혼합함으로써 수지의 흐름을 균일하게 하여 균형충전을 이루도록 하였다. 또한 사출성형해석프로그램인 Moldflow를 이용한 유동해석을 통해 그 효과를 나타내 보았다.

As a rotating machine element, plastic gears are more and more widely used in such as industrial machine element, since plastic gear is lighter, higher wear-resistance, and higher vibration absorbing ability than metal gears. When operating plastic parts, tooth breakage and fatigue life shortened due to increasing number of applying load and tooth flank temperature rising, such that accuracy of plastic gears is divided from allowable range to cause vibration and noise. On this study, a internal plastic gears are developed which improved the filling balance molding process by a new injection mold structure. The new mold structure called HR3P(hot runner type 3plate mold). As the result from this studies, we obtained a very accurate roundness internal gears by using design of experiment.

This paper describes the process of structure analysis and injection molding analysis to manufacture the forming injection dies for huge glass insert. Factors such as filling time, filling pressure, material temperature, shrinkage, warpage were investigated by using the analysis software, Moldflow. Runner system and cavity structure were designed and manufactured through the results of deformation analysis data for glass insert. Filling time and filling pressure were analyzed in 3.756sec and 43.37MPa.

This paper describes the optimization of injection molding conditions to minimize sink marks. Sink marks, which refer to a small depression on the surface opposite a thick wall thickness, are often encounted in injection molded plastic parts. Part geometry, material properties and processing conditions during injection molding can affect the sink mark depth. We designed the runner system which is possible balanced filling to cavities using CAE program and then obtained optimal processing conditions by Taguchi's Robust Design technique. By actual injection molding using optimized mold and molding conditions, it confirmed that sink mark depth decreased zero compared to 1mm level in the conventional mold and process.

A design optimization system for Francis turbine was developed. The system consists of design program and CFD solver. Flow passage shapes are optimized automatically by using the system with Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA). In this study, the system was applied to a high specific speed Francis turbine (nSP = 250m-kW). The runner profile and the draft tube shape were optimized to decrease hydraulic losses. As the results, it was shown that the turbine efficiency was improved in wide operating range, furthermore, the height of draft tube was reduced with the hydraulic performance kept.
