  • Recently, as the industrial demand for small quantity batch production of sheet metal components, the application of dieless forming technology to production of these component rise with the advantages of the reduction in manufacturing cost and time. In dieless forming processes, the determination of moving path of tool plays an important role in producing successfully formed parts. In order to obtain the optimized moving path of tool avoiding forming failure, it is necessary to examine the forming limit of sheet material. Therefore, in this study, as the new criterion to evaluate the formability of sheet material in dieless forming processes FDD(feeding depth diagram) with respect to feeding depth and punch diameter is proposed. Thus, the FDD for the sheet materials of STS304 and Ti-grade2 were obtained from a series of FDT(feeding depth test). In addition the possibility of the application of FLD in judging forming severity in dieless forming processes was investigated by comparing the results of FE analyses based on FLD and experimental FDT.

  • Presently, 3D printers manufactured by material extrusion are economical and easy to use, so they are being used in various fields. However, this study conducted a tensile test on the infill pattern and density of the PLA+ material, due to the limitations of long printing time as well as low mechanical strength. The infill area for the infill density change was measured, using a vision-measuring machine for four infill patterns (concentric, zigzag, honeycomb, and cross) in which the nozzle path was the same for each layer. The tensile strength/weight[MPa/g] and tensile strength/printing time[MPa/min] of the tensile specimens were analyzed. In this study, efficient infill density and patterns are suggested, for cost reduction and productivity improvement. Consequently, it was confirmed that the infill area and infill percentage of the four patterns, were not constant according to the infill pattern. And the tensile strength of the infill density 40% of the honeycomb pattern and infill density 20% of the cross pattern, tended to highly consider the weight and printing time. Honeycomb and cross patterns could reduce the weight of the tensile specimen by 19.11%, 28.07%, as well as the printing time by 29.56%, 52.25%. Tensile strength was high in the order of concentric, zigzag, honeycomb, and cross patterns, considering the weight and printing time.

  • Drawing a sample can be costly or time consuming in some studies. However, it may be possible to rank the sampling units according to some baseline auxiliary covariates, which are easily obtainable, and/or cost efficient. Ranked set sampling (RSS) is a method to achieve this goal. In this paper, we propose a modified approach of the RSS method to allocate units into an experimental study that compares L groups. Computer simulation estimates the empirical nominal values and the empirical power values for the test procedure of comparing L different groups using modified RSS based on the regression approach in analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) models. A comparison to simple random sampling (SRS) is made to demonstrate efficiency. The results indicate that the required sample sizes for a given precision are smaller under RSS than under SRS. The modified RSS protocol was applied to an experimental study. The experimental study was designed to obtain a better understanding of the pathways by which positive experiences (i.e., goal completion) contribute to higher levels of happiness, well-being, and life satisfaction. The use of the RSS method resulted in a cost reduction associated with smaller sample size without losing the precision of the analysis.

  • The United States adopted DRG based prospective payment system (PPS) in order to control the inflation of health care costs. No study used statistical test while many studies reported the cost containing effect of the PPS. To study impacts of the PPS on the Medicare expenditure, this study set the following three hypotheses (1) The PPS decelerated the increase in the hospital expenditure (Part A), (2) the PPS accelerated the increase in the expenditure of outpatients and physicians (Part B), (3) the increase in total expenditure was decelerated inspite of the spill over (substitution) effect because saving in the Part A expenditure were greater than losses in the Part B expenditure. The dependent variables are per capita hospital expenditure, per capita Part B expenditure, and per capita total expenditure for the Medicare beneficiaries. An intervention analysis, which added intervention effect to the time series variation on the Box-Jenkins model, was used. The observations included 120 months from 1978 to 1987. The results are as follows : (1) The annual increase in the per capita Part A expenditure was $5.11 after the implementation of DRG where as that before the PPS had been $11.1. The effect of the reduction ($5.99) was statistically significient (t=-3.9). (2) The spill over (substitution) effect existed because the annual increase in the per capita Part B expenditure was accelerated by $1.73 (t=1.91) after the implementation of the PPS. (3) The increase in the total Medicare expenditure per capita was reduced by $4.26 (t=-2.19) because the spill over effect was less than cost savings in the Part A expenditure.

  • 지중매설구조물의 하중저감과 관련하여 미국과 캐나다에서는 점토, 이토, 지푸라기 등의 압축재를 이용한 유도고랑 관거(induced-trench)기법에 대한 연구가 진행되어 왔으며, 일본과 노르웨이 등에서는 압축재로서 EPS 블럭을 이용한 하중 저감 방안에 대한 현장 시험시공을 통한 연구가 수행된 바 있다. 이와 같이 아칭효과를 극대화시키는 재료인 EPS 블록을 이용한 고성토 매설구조물 구축공법은 작용하중 저감에 따른 경제적인 구조물 단면의 선정, 구조물의 안정성 증대, 시공의 용이성 등 많은 장점을 갖고 있다. 본 논문에서는 연성 관거인 파형강관에 대한 토압 저감을 대상으로 아칭재인 EPS의 아칭 효과에 따른 토압 저감 효과를 분석하였다. 일련의 EPS를 이용한 하중 저감 평가시험이 수행되었으며, 현장 시험을 기초로 한 수직 토압 저감효과는 일반적인 연성관거에 비해 약 35∼40% 정도인 것으로 평가되었다.

  • Using the waste(sand wastr and boiler ash) in fluidized bed inciverator, lightweight aggregate concrete was produced and a recycling plan was prepated. The first, the result of the leaching test shows that the waste fluid sand and boiler ash did not exceed the effluent standard. This indicates that there is no harmful effect for recycling. The second, in the lightweight aggregate test using waste fluid sand and boiler ash, the sample that combined cement, waste fluid sand, and sand showed the highest compressive strength, and the mix proportion was 10: 7: 3. Lightweight aggregate concrete that combined cement, waste fluid sand, boiler ash, and sand had a low compressive strength by and large. The third, the same results were identified in the relation between the content of SiO2 and that of Na2O. As the SiO2 content is lowered, the overall viscosity and plasticity of the concrete also decrease, which is not a good condition to form concrete. As for Na2O, as the content increases, the viscosity of the sample and the viscosity of the cement are remarkably lowered, and the strength of the finished concrete is lowered. Therefore, it was concluded that the higher the content of SiO2 and the lower the content of Na2O, the more suitable it is to mix with cement to produce concrete. Fourth, from the fluidized bed incinerator currently operated by company A in city B, a total of 14,188 tons/year were discharged as of 2016, including 8,355 tons/year of bottom ash (including waste fluid sand) and 5,853 tons/year of boiler ash. The cost for landfill bottom ash and boiler ash discharged is 51,000 won/ton, and the total annual landfill cost is 723,588,000 won/ year. Assuming that the landfill tax to be applied from the year 2018 is about 10,000 won/ton, and if there is no reduction in waste disposal charge, an additional landfill tax of 141,880,000 won/year will be imposed. Consequently, the sum total of the annual landfill cost will be 865,468,000 won/year. Therefore, if the entire amount is used for recycling, the annual savings of about 8.7 billion won can be expected.

  • 본 연구에서는 전열해석 프로그램인 피지벨(PHYSIBEL)을 사용하여 블라인드 내장형 창호시스템의 일사차단성능 및 단열성능에 따른 에너지 성능을 평가하였다. 피지벨 해석시 창호별 구성 재료의 열적특성과 해석조건을 결정하기 위해서 Mock-up시험을 실시하였으며, 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통한 결과를 바탕으로 공동주택 기준층 1개 세대(33평형)를 대상으로 연간에너지 소비특성, 연간전열량, 연간 냉난방 비용을 분석하였다. 실험결과, 연간전열량은 일반 창호시스템 대비 블라인드 내장형 창호시스템에서 블라인드를 올린 경우 냉방시 10%, 난방시 11% 절감할 수 있으며, 블라인드를 내린 경우 냉방시 25%, 난방시 30%정도를 절감할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 블라인드 내장형 창호시스템의 냉 난방 부하 절감량은 일반 창호시스템에 비해 냉방시 283.3KWh, 난방시 76.3KWh 로 냉 난방 에너지 절감효과는 단위세대당 359.6KWh 절감시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 이것은 단위세대당 연간 에너지원단위(TOE) 약 0.078toe, 이산화탄소톤($tCO_2$) $0.16tCO_2$을 절감시킬 수 있어 온실가스 저감에도 유리할 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 블라인드 내장형 창호시스템의 냉 난방비용 절감액은 일반창호시스템과 비교하여 연간 냉방비용 10만원, 난방비용 5만원으로 연간 냉 난방 비용을 약 15만원 정도 절감시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
