In modern manufacturing, a product consists of many components created by different processes. Variations in the individual component dimensions and in the processes may result in unacceptable final assemblies. Thus, engineers have increased pressure to properly set tolerance specifications for individual components and to control manufacturing processes. When a proper variation stack-up analysis is not performed for all of the components in a functional system, all component parts can be within specifications, but the final assembly may not be functional. Thus, in order to improve the performance of the final assembly, a proper variation stack-up analysis is essential for specifying dimensional tolerances and process control. This research provides a detailed case example of the use of variation stack-up analysis using a Monte Carlo simulation method to improve the defect rate of a complex process, which is the commutator brush track undercut process of an armature assembly of a small motor. Variations in individual component dimensions and process mean shifts cause high defect rate, Since some dimensional characteristics have non-normal distributions and the stack-up function is non-linear, the Monte Carlo simulation method is used.

최근까지 고분자전해질 연료전지(PEMFC)의 열화연구는 대부분 단위전지에서 연구되었다. 그런데 실제 PEMFC의 구동과 열화는 PEMFC 스택에서 이루어진다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 스택에서 열화가속 시험을 진행하여 단위전지의 결과와 비교하였다. 여러 종류의 열화 가속 시험 중에서 전기화학적 열화와 기계적 열화를 반복해 고분자전해질 막을 열화시키는 방법을 사용했다. 312시간 동안 전해질막을 열화시킨 후 0.6V에서 전류밀도는 스택과 단위전지에서 각각 28.4%, 27.8% 감소했다. 수소 투과 전류밀도는 스택은 16.8% 단위전지는 15.2% 증가했다. 스택과 단위전지에서의 열화 가속 시험 결과가 비슷해 단위전지의 가속 시험 방법을 스택에 적용해도 됨을 확인하였다.

In this paper a damage imaging technique using pre-stack migration is developed using Lamb (guided) wave propagation in composite structures for imaging multi damages by both numerical simulations and experimental studies. In particular, the paper focuses on the experimental study using a finite number of sensors for future practical applications. A composite laminate with a surface-mounted linear piezoelectric ceramic (PZT) disk array is illustrated as an example. Two types of damages, one straight-crack damage and two simulated circular-shaped delamination damage, have been studied. First, Mindlin plate theory is used to model Lamb waves propagating in laminates. The group velocities of flexural waves in the composite laminate are also derived from dispersion relations and validated by experiments. Then the pre-stack migration technique is performed by using a two-dimensional explicit finite difference algorithm to back-propagate the scattered energy to the damages and damages are imaged together with the excitation-time imaging conditions. Stacking these images together deduces the resulting image of damages. Both simulations and experimental results show that the pre-stack migration method is a promising method for damage identification in composite structures.

The characteristics of hydrogen-oxygen mixture gas generation stack was experimentally studied in terms of efficiency. For this purpose, the mixture gas generation stack was fabricated by connecting 7 cells in series following the Tero Ranta report. In order to avoid the instrument inaccuracy, all measuring equipments were re-tested and calibrated by Korea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (KOLAS) certified laboratories. Since the amount of produced gas is most crucial in determining the efficiency, two gas collecting methods such as bottle trap method and wet gas meter method were adopted. From the experimental results, it was found that both KOH fume and steam evaporated along with hydrogen-oxygen mixture gas, and these by-product gases could cause the misestimation of the stack efficiency. The current, voltage, and energy efficiencies of the hydrogen-oxygen mixture gas generation stack was evaluated based upon the stack efficiency calculation method summarized in this work.

KIER has been developing the anode supported flat tubular SOFC stack for the intermediate temperature $(700{\sim}800^{\circ}C)$ operation. for this purpose, we have first fabricated anode supported flat tubular cells by the optimization between the current collecting method and the induction brazing process. After that we designed the compact fuel & air manifold by adopting the simulation technique to uniformly supply fuel & air gas and the unique seal & insulation method to make the more compact stack. For making stack, the prepared anode-supported flat tubular cells with effective electrode area of $90cm^2$ of connected in series with 12 modules, in which one module consists of two cells connected in parallel. The performance of stack in 3 % humidified $H_2$ and air at $800^{\circ}C$ shows maximum power of 507 W. Through these experiments, we obtained basic & advanced technology of the anode-supported flat tubular cell and established the proprietary concept of the anode-supported flat tubular SOFC stack in KIER.

The fuel cell market is expected to grow rapidly. Therefore, it is necessary to scale up fuel cells for buildings, power generation, and ships. A multi-stack system can be an effective way to expand the capacity of a fuel cell. Multi-stack fuel cell systems are better than single-stack systems in terms of efficiency, reliability, durability and maintenance. In this research, we developed a residential fuel cell stack and system model that generates electricity using the fuel cell-photovoltaic hybrid system. The efficiency and hydrogen consumption of the fuel cell system were calculated according to the three proposed power distribution methods (equivalent, Daisy-chain, and optimal method). As a result, the optimal power distribution method increases the efficiency of the fuel cell system and reduces hydrogen consumption. The more frequently the multi-stack fuel cell system is exposed to lower power levels, the greater the effectiveness of the optimal power distribution method.

With the building is higher and higher, the stack effect is more and more remarkable. The stack effect accompanies many problems in high-rise building such as draft, troublesome in door opening, uncomfortable noise, contaminants dispersion, etc. In this study, the air movement and accompanied contaminants dispersion by stack effect in high-rise building, and diluting the contaminants concentration were analyzed. The analysis was performed for high-rise residential building in Seoul, Korea and the network simulation method was used. The results show that the indoor contaminants concentration and air movement caused by stack effect have interdependent relationship.

It is well known that cylinder steel stacks are heavily impacted by vortex-induced vibration. However, the wind-induced vibration behaviors of tower-supported steel stacks are not clarified due to a lack of observation. We studied a stack's response to strong winds over a long period of time by observing the extreme wind-induced vibration of a 200 m-high tower-supported steel stack. This experiment aimed to identify the wind-induced vibration properties of a tower-supported steel stack and assess the validity of the vibration control method used in the experiment. Results revealed a trend in wind-induced vibration behavior. In turn, an effective measure for controlling such vibration was defined by means of increasing the structural damping ratio due to the effects of the tuned mass damper to dramatically decrease the vortex-induced vibration of the stack.

When communication such as light, radio wave, or magnetic field is used underwater, the communication distance is very short, so sound waves are mainly used. However, by combining the strengths of each medium and communicating, stable communication may be possible. Underwater multi-media communication requires a protocol stack that supports it, which is very complex. To this end, this paper proposes a standard protocol stack and modeling technique to enable easy protocol stack modeling for the purpose. In fact, in this paper, a random model was created and analyzed through the proposal of modeling elements and similarity measurement methods, and as a result, it was analyzed that it was very helpful in creating a new model based on a standard model.

자바에서 사용이 끝난 객체의 수집(garbage collection)은 프로그래머의 메모리 관리 부담을 덜어준다는 장점이 있다. 그러나, 수행 속도에 영향을 미치게 되므로 정적 분석 기법을 사용하여 이를 극복하는 기법이 제안되어왔다. 이 중 하나인 스택 저장 기법은, 힙메모리 대신 메소드 스택에 저장될 수 있는 객체들을 수행 전에 분석하여 파악해두는 방식을 따른다. 본 논문에서는 메소드의 호출/반환에 대해 직접 분석하여 자신을 생성한 메소드의 반환 후에도 접근될 소지가 있는 객체들을 판별하는 정적 분석 기법을 제시한다. 이로써 객체와 변수의 지정(assignment) 관계 분석을 기준으로 하는 기존의 스택 저장 기법들에서 간과되었던 객체들 중에서도 스택에 저장할 수 있는 대상을 발견할 수 있도록 한다.
