The effects of tumor necrosis factor alpha $(TNF-{\alpha})$ on growth and tubular formation of bovine aortic endothelial cells were examined using an in vitro angiogenesis model system. The growth of endothelial cells was enhanced in a dose-dependent manner when the cells were cultured with $TNF-{\alpha}$ for 3 days, but $TNF-{\alpha}$, at the concentration of 1 nM or higher, produced a growth inhibition of endothelial cells when the cells were cultured for 8 days. The endothelial cells incubated with $TNF-{\alpha}$ for 48-h exhibited a typical morphologic change. Then, they showed a fibroblastoid organization of overlapping, elongated, and spindle-shaped cells. $TNF-{\alpha}$, at the concentration of O. 1 nM or higher, inhibited the tubular formation of vascular endothelial cells in an in vitro anglogenesis model using a 3-dimensional culture system.

As the machining depth increases, the drilling torque increases and fluctuates and the risk of drill failure also increases. Hence, drilling torque control is very important to prevent the drill from failure. In this study, a PID controller was designed to control the drilling torque in a machining center. The plant including the feed drive system, cutting process, and spindle system was modeled for controller design. The Ziegler-Nichols rule was used to determine the controller gain and control action times. The root locus plot was used to tune the controller gain for a certain cutting condition. Also, suggested was a simple method to obtain the tuned controller gain for an arbitrary cutting condition not using the Ziegler-Nichols rule and root locus plot. The cutting torque control, performance of the designed controller and the effect of gain tuning on the control performance were examined.

In this paper, an OMM (On-the-Machine Measuring) system has been developed, which can perform measuring and inspection of sculptured surfaces of die and mold, by use of a scanning-type touch probe mounted into the spindle of a NC machine. The calibration procedures of a scanning prove (SP2-1, Renishaw) and an algorithm for measuring surface points by a ball-nosed stylus have been studied. The system has been developed based on commercial CAM software (Z-Master 2000), and tested through measuring a plastic injection molding-die. Also some experimental results of the calibration and measuring for given surface positions are analyzed to verify its accuracy and reliability.

This paper presents the dynamic analysis and experiment for a shaft system supported by angular contact ball bearings. Among others, the dynamic characteristics of bearings are significantly affected by axial preload and radial load applied. This paper rigorously analyzes the dynamic characteristics of a shaft system with angular contact ball bearings subject of axial preload so as to result in eigenvalues as well as bearing stiffness characteristics. Experiments are also performed to identify natural frequencies and stiffness characteristics of bearings implemented. Comparison is made on the theoretical and experimental results.

In vector control technique, stator currents of an induction motor are transformed to equivalent d-q currents in reference frame consist of d and q axis, each of which is coincide with flux and torque direction respectively. In this paper, the new algorithm is suggested where the stator current through an induction motor torque is monitored by using a vector control method where an additional equipment is not need. The G-programming is used to apply the suggested algorithm in the experiment and this is applied to an actual system to monitor the torque value of an induction motor on real time. To solve the vibration trouble of estimated torque caused from an unbalanced real rotating speed of an induction motor and measured rotating speed by suggesting the reconstructed in a method based on measurement current signal. This produced system testifies an accuracy of an induction motor through the experiment by comparing the reference value of the control method.

Complex modal testing method for rotating disks with support motion is introduced which handles the pairs of two point excitation and responses of the disk as complex input and output, respectively. This method utilizes the directivity information and the separation over the rotational speed of forward and backward traveling wave modes or bending coupled modes in the directional frequency response functions(dFRFs). This method synthesizes the normal/reverse dFRFs and complex wave dFRF, which were originally applied to rotating shaft and rotating disk, respectively, and is applied to complex system with dynamically coupled rotating disks and shaft. Experiments with a commercial hard disk drive spindle system demonstrate the validity of this method.

This study represents the non-dimensional cutting force model. With the non-dimensional cutting force model it is possible to estimate efficiently the maximum cutting force during one revolution of cutter. Using the non-dimensional cutting force model, the feed rate and spindle speed are adjusted so as to satisfy the maximum cutting force and maximum machining error. To verify the accuracy and efficiency of the non-dimensional cutting force model, a series of experiments were conducted, and experimental results proved and verified the non-dimensional cutting force model. The NC toolpath verification system developed in this paper uses the non-dimensional cutting force model, so that it is effective for calculating the cutting force and adjusting the cutting conditions.

An experimental study on drilling of stainless steel is conducted using TiAlN coated drills and HSS twist drills with several cutting conditions; feed rate, spindle rotational speed, and dry/wet cutting. The effects of number of hole on the thrust force are examined by cutting force measurement. The flank wear of the drills and the change of hole diameter are quantitatively observed using a vision system. It is found that the thrust force in drilling with TiAlN coated drills decrease under dry and wet machining, whereas the flank wear resistance is improved.

This paper presents an efficient dynamic modeling method for multi-stepped rotor system using effective spring elements to take into account the structural weakening effect due to the steps. This paper demonstrates that the Timoshenko shaft model give rise to a significant error in the case of multi-stepped rotors. An effective bending spring model is introduced to represent the structural weakening effect in the presence of steps. The proposed modeling method is validated through a series of simulations and experiments. Finally, a spindle is dealt with as an analysis example.

To obtain precise surface and high productivity, high speed end milling has been studied recently. Though high speed end milling is explicitly effective for precision surface generation geometrically, tool deflection, chatter vibration and frequency characteristics of end milling system deteriorate the theoretical surface. In this study, simulation algorithm and programming method are suggested to simulate machined surface using acceleration signal in high speed end milling. This simulation is conducted by considering vibrational effect of spindle system which was not considered by other researchers. Between simulated results and experiment results, good agreements were obtained.
