In this study, the expansion, stress, and operating clearance of bearing elements during operation are observed using the inner/outer ring temperature test data of a 3.0×10⁶ DN-class roller bearing. The operating clearance characteristics of inner-/outer-ring cooling (IORC) bearings are compared to those of inner-ring cooling (IRC) bearings. For IRC bearings, the thermal expansion of the outer ring is the most important factor in clearance variation. As a result, the operating clearance is less than the initial clearance of 61 ㎛, and the operating clearance decreases to 0.5 ㎛ at 25,500 rpm. Conversely, the temperature of the outer ring of IORC bearings is lower than that of IRC bearings, so the operating clearance is kept smaller. When the coolant flow rate to the outer ring is approximately 1.5 to 2.0 L/min, the temperature difference between the inner and outer rings is minimized and the operating clearance is maintained at a significantly lower level than IRC bearings. Small operating clearances are expected to be effective in reducing cage slip and skid damage in roller bearings. The results and analysis procedures of this study can be utilized to design of bearing clearance, lubricant flow rate, and assembled interference in the early design stage of aerospace roller bearings.

In this study, the shear behavior between pile-sandy soil interface was quantified based on series of rigorous ring shear test results. Ring shearing test was carried out to observe the shear behavior prior to failure and behavior at residual state between most commonly used pile materials - steel and concrete - and Jumunjin sand. The test was set to clarify the shear behavior under various confinement conditions and soil densities. The test results were converted in to representative friction angles for various test materials. Additional numerical analysis was executed to validate the accuracy of the test results. Based on the test results and the numerical validation, it was found that due to the dilative and contractive nature of sand, its interface behavior can be categorized in to two different types : soils with higher densities tend to show peak shear stress and moves on to residual state, while on the other hand, soils with lower densities tend to show bilinear load-transfer curves along the interface. However, the relative density and the confining stress was found to affect the friction angle only in the small train range, and converges as it progresses to large deformation. This study established a large deformation analysis method which can successfully simulate and predict the large deformation behavior such as ring shear tests. Moreover, the friction angle derived from the ring shear test result and verified by numerical analysis can be applied to numerical analysis and actual design of various pile foundations.

A cam ring gear (CRG) system based on a hypotrochoid curve consists of a pinion with roller teeth and its conjugated internal CRG. In this study, we investigated contact forces, contact stresses, and load stress factors to predict the surface pitting life using an exact CRG profile by introducing the profile modification coefficient. The results show that the pitting life can be extended significantly by increasing the profile modification coefficient without any other change of parameters in the CRG system.

The design of the prestressed cold extrusion die with two stress rings has been performed in this study. The cold extrusion has been simulated by the rigid-plastic FEM. The stress analysis of die has been performed for both after shrink fitting and during extrusion by using the elastic FEM and the Lame's equation. According to the variation of interferences and diameter ratios, the maximum effective stress has been evaluated. As results, interferences and diameters were determined by the minimization of the maximum effective stress of die insert. The comparison of the maximum effective stress between the proposed design and the conventional design has been discussed. It was found that the maximum effective stress in the die insert is considerably affected by the stiffness of the first stress ring.

This paper aims to verify the static strength of a KHST gangway structure including fixed ring and carrying ring according to tile load cases in the defined specification. The structure has been analyzed by the finite element method. Calculation carried out in tile fields of linearity and small deformation. The admissible limit is tile yield strength for the available materials. The analysis results show that Von-Mises stress at some locations of the structure is a little beyond the admissible limit. These results are successfully reflected on the adjusted design.

In structural applications, brittle materials such as soda-lime glasses and ceramics are usually subjected to multiaxial stress state. Brittle materials with cracks or damage by foreign object impacts are apt to fracture abruptly from cracks, because of their properities of very high strength and low fracture toughness. But in most cases, the residual strength of structural members with damage has been tested under uniaxial stress condition such as the 4-point bend test. Depending upon the crack pattern developed, the strength under multiaxial stress state might be different from the one under uniaxial. A comparative study was carried out to investigate the influence of stress state on the residual strength evaluation. In comparable tests, the residual strength under biaxial stress state by the ball-on-ring test was greater than that under the uniaxial one by the 4-point bend test, when a small size indendation crack was introduced. In the case that crack having an angle of 90deg. to the applied stress direction, the ratio of biaxial to uniaxial flexure strength was about 1.12. The residual strength was different from crack angles to loading direction when it was evaluated by the 4-point bend test. The ratio of residual strength of 45deg. crack to 90deg. one was about 1.20. In the case of specimen cracked by a spherical impact, it was shown that an overall decrease in flexure strength with increasing impact velocity, and the critical impact velocity for formation of a radial and/or cone crack was about 30m/s. In those cases that relatively large cracks were developed as compared with the case of indented cracks, the ratio of residual strength under biaxial stress state to one uniaxial became small.

Since the residual stress of hydrogen tank is directly related to durability, it is very important to reduce it for safety. Type II~IV hydrogen tank are manufactured by the filament winding method, in which the fiber is impregnated with resin and wound around the liner. Residual stress in composite is affected by curing conditions and fiber tension etc. In this study, the effect of curing conditions on residual stress was analyzed when manufacturing a Type III hydrogen tank using carbon fiber filament winding process. First, the curing behavior of the epoxy resin was analyzed using a differential scanning calorimetry. Through this, the curing temperature was set to 140℃. During the same curing time, the specimens were cured under 2-stage curing condition that reached 140℃ earlier and a 4-stage curing condition that reached 140℃ later, respectively. After curing, the residual stress of the composite material was measured by the ring slitting method, and the experimental values were compared with numerical values. It was confirmed that there was a significant difference in residual stress according to the optimization of curing conditions.

DC/DC converter is widely used in computer, electronic communication and industrial apparatus where the regulated dc supply is needed. FB-ZVS converter is suitable for high-power, high-frequency and constant frequency control. Because the voltage stress of the diode rectifier is high due to the ring effect, the clamp circuit is essential to reduce the voltage stress. The nondissipative active clamp circuit eliminates ring effect. Analysis of FB-ZVS converter and the validity of the active clamp circuit are studied through the simulation, and the experimental results show the superior characterics of the proposed system.

This study analyzed ground settlement and ground stress depending on tunnel excavation and the ground reinforcing grouting methods for double line road tunnel through deep weathered zone. Diameter of double line road tunnel was approximately 12m and umbrella arch method and side wall reinforcing grouting were applied. The ring-cut split excavation method and CD-cut excavation method for excavation method were applied. Analysis of failure rate and vertical stress ratio show that the tunnel for which the height of the cover(H) was higher than four times the diameter, it can be considered a deep tunnel. Comparisons of various excavation and ground reinforcement methods were showed that CD-cut method results in lower surface and crown settlement, and lower failure rate than where using Ring-cut split method. In addition the side wall reinforcing grouting resulted in reduction of tunnel displacement and settlement.
