위성용 단일추진제 시스템에 적용되는 핵심부품 중 하나인 추력기 밸브는 솔레노이드 방식을 이용하여 추진제를 공급/차단한다. 밸브에 장착되는 원형 판스프링은 마찰과 반복운동에 의한 위치변형 및 파티클이 없다. 본 연구에서는 원형 판스프링 소재, 두께, 반경을 고정변수로 원형 판스프링 내부 패턴의 너비를 설계변수로 설정하여 유한요소해석 및 검증시험을 하였다. 시험결과 변위에 따른 스프링 상수 k가 선형적인 특성이 나타났다. 원형 판스프링 총면적에 따른 스프링력의 경향성을 통해 원형 판스프링의 설계가 가능함을 확인하였다.

The gas spring is a hydropneumatic adjusting element, consisting of a pressure tube, a piston rod, a piston and a connection fitting. The gas spring is filled with compressed nitrogen within the cylinder. The filling pressure acts on both sides of the piston and because of area difference it produces an extension force. Therefore, a gas spring is similar in function compare to mechanical coil spring. Conversely, optimization is a process of finding the best set of parameters to reach a goal while not violating certain constraints. The AMESim software provides NLPQL (Nonlinear Programming by Quadratic Lagrangian) and GA (genetic algorithm) for optimization. The NLPQL method builds a quadratic approximation to the Lagrange function and linear approximations to all output constraints at each iteration, starting with the identity matrix for the Hessian of the Lagrangian, and gradually updating it using the BFGS method. On each iteration, a quadratic programming problem is solved to find an improved design until the final convergence to the optimum design. In this study, we conducted optimization design of the gas spring reaction force with NLPQL.

The major purpose of this paper is a study on the effect of die profile radius on the formability of spring-type blankholder system in deep drawing process. By drawing the various materials, formability is studied by means of checking the drawing force, blankholding force variation, limiting drawing ratio and wall wrinkling phenomenon. As the die profile radius increases, the maximum drawing force and maximum blankholding force decrease regardless of lubrication condition. Because better lubrication induces blankholding force to rise, spring type blankholder system is better to protect flange wrinkling phenomenon than constant pressure type. And wall wrinkling phenomenon was not detected in experimental die radius range, so the Miyakawa's upper wrinkling limit is understimated in case of material tested.

This paper deals with the dynamic stability of a brake shoe under pulsating frictional forces. A lining part of brake systems is assumed as a distributed spring, and the supported elements of a shoe are assumed as translational springs for a constant distributed frictional force and a pulsating frictional force. Governing equations are derived by the use of the extended Hamilton's principle, and numerical results are calculated by finite element method. The critical distributed frictional force and instability regions were investigated for the change of distributed spring constants and translational spring constants.

Railway noise and vibration has been recognized as major problems with the speed-up of rolling stock. As a kind of solution to these problems, the decrease of stiffness of track pad have been tried. However, in this case, overturning of rail due to lateral force should be considered because it can have effect on the safety of running train. Therefore, above two things - decrease of stiffness of track pad and overturning of rail due to lateral force - should be considered simultaneously for the appropriate determination of spring coefficient of track pad. With this viewpoint, minimum spring coefficient of track pad is estimated through the comparison between the theoretical relationship about the overturning of rail and 3-dimensional FE analysis result. Two kinds of Lateral force and wheel load are used as input loads. Extracted values from the conventional estimation formula and the Shinkansen design loads are used. It is found that the overturning of rail changes corresponding to the change of the stiffness of track pad and the ratio of lateral force to wheel load. Moreover, it is found that the analysis model can have influence on the results. Through these procedure, minimum spring coefficient of track pad is estimated.

In this study, we developed an FSEA(Force-sensing Series Elastic Actuator) composed of a spring and an actuator has been developed to compensate for external disturbance forced. The FSEA has a simple structure in which the spring and the actuator are connected in series, and the external force can be easily measured through the displacement of the spring. And the characteristic of the spring absorbs the shock to the small disturbance and increases the sense of stability. It is designed and constructed to control the stiffness of such springs more flexibly according to the situation. The conventional FSEA uses a fixed stiffness spring and the actuator is not compensated properly when it receives large or small external force. Through this experiment, it is confirmed that FSEA compensates the external force through the proposed algorithm that the variable stiffness compensates well for large and small external forces.

A bunker bed is a type of furniture that efficiently utilizes a narrow indoor space by having a high bed and using the empty space below as a living and storage space. The demand for multi-purpose furniture is increasing due to the recent increase in single-person households and wide-spread shared accommodation. According to the consumer research, one of the major drawbacks of a bunker bed was to get on and off the bed through a ladder or stairs. In order to overcome these problems, it was confirmed that the height adjustment function that can easily adjust the minimum and maximum heights of the bed was necessary. In this study, a height adjustable bunker bed was designed by using a gas spring that generates a repulsive force by the compressed gas inside. The design process consisted of the following three steps: Firstly, the hysteresis characteristics due to a friction and spring constant of a commercial gas spring were confirmed by measuring the repulsive force vs. compressed displacement. Secondly, requirements of the vertical lifting force exerted on the bed against gravity force were derived. Finally, the height-adjustable bed using the four-bar link mechanism was designed with 4 parameters so that the bed weight of 60-70 kgf could be adjusted to 800 mm in height by an affordable initial operation force. The performance was verified through prototype production and the results of vertical displacement and force to move were nearly the same as designed. In addition, an electrically operated height-adjustable bed was also designed with linear actuators and the performance was proved with the prototype.

There is an indispensable need for force calibration for quantitative nanoscale force measurement using atomic force microscopy. Calibrating the normal force is relatively straightforward, whereas doing so for the lateral force is often complicated because of the difficulty in determining the optical lever sensitivity. In particular, the lateral force calibration of a colloidal probe in a liquid environment often has a larger uncertainty as a result of the effects of the epoxy, the location of the colloidal particle on the cantilever, and a decrease in the quality factor. In this work, the lateral force of a colloidal probe using a reference cantilever with a known spring constant was calibrated in a liquid environment. By obtaining the spring constant and the lateral sensitivity at the equator of a spherical colloidal particle, the damage to the bottom surface of the colloidal particle could be eliminated. Further, it was shown that the effect of the contact stiffness on the determination of the lateral spring constant of the cantilever could be minimized. It was concluded that this method can be effectively used for the lateral force calibration of a colloidal probe in a liquid environment.
