Load/Unload technology has more benefits than the conventional CSS technology. However, it remains unsolved technical problem on the unloading process. While the slider climbs up the ramp at the outer edge of the disk, the possibility of the slider-disk contact by lift-off force and rebound of the slider increases. This paper focuses on no slider-disk contact. To prevent the slider-disk contact, we apply the disk bump on disk outer edge proceeding unload. Firstly, in the simulation, the bump dimension is determined by changing bump design parameters. Secondly, dynamic stability of slider have to be checked on disk bump before unload analysis, and unload analysis is performed by applying stable bump shapes to unload simulation. Thirdly, we select optimal bump shape to improve unload performance by unload analysis. Finally, in the experiment, the disk bump is mechanically manufactured by pressing disk surface using diamond tip. That is variously processed by changing pressing pressure. After confirming bump shape by nano-scanner, proper bump shape is applied to real experimental unload process. Through this investigation, we propose the optimal bump design to prevent the slider-disk contact, and then we can realize improved unloading performance.

Stress distribution and interfacial debonding process at the interface between a rubber mold and a powder compact were analyzed during unloading under cold isostatic pressing. The Cap model proposed by Lee and Kim was used for densification behavior of powder based on the parameters involved in the yield function of general Cap model and volumetric strain evolution. Cohesive elements incorporating a bilinear cohesive zone model were also used to simulate interfacial debonding process. The Cap model and the cohesive zone model were implemented into a finite element program (ABAQUS). Densification behavior of powder was investigated under various interface conditions between a rubber mold and a powder compact during loading. The residual tensile stress at the interface was investigated for rubber molds with various elastic moduli under perfect bonding condition. The variations of the elastic energy density of a rubber mold and the maximum principal stress of a powder compact were calculated for several interfacial strengths at the interface during unloading.

In this country, mackerel landing, sorting, and packing are mostly performed manually, which is time consuming and labor intensive. An unloading automation system saves time and labor by automating the landing, sorting, and packing processes. Casers are devices for manufacturing packing boxes for fish used by unloading automation systems. The caser design in this study is for mackerel packing boxes. This caser makes a packing box based on a press using the caser's slide crank. When the caser makes a packing box, the manufacturing sequence is determined by the caser's production guide and assisting rod. The caser design in this study is simulated using a multi-body dynamics program. The simulation is used to analyze the caser and to visualize the box-making sequence.

Despite the significance of ports as critical economic infrastructure, the berth facilities usually deteriorate due to heavy loading, unloading, aging, environmental weather conditions, marine growths, and lack of efficient maintenance management. Marine berths require proactive maintenance management to limit deterioration and defects as no berth facility is maintenance-free. Thus, delay in carrying out maintenance work for the marine berths can be devastating to the operational process involving ship entry, loading, and unloading operations. The aim of this research is to coordinate both operations work, and maintenance works that take place inside the berth of a local industrial port in Saudi Arabia, by developing a novel framework that integrates both works without affecting the efficiency and functionality of the berth. The study focused on defining the operational process of the port and identifying the elements with direct and indirect effects. In addition to determining the priority for the entry of ships inside the berth, it also identified the factors involved in designing a framework that included maintenance work as a component of the monthly berth occupancy schedule. By applying a mathematical model, a framework was established, which includes all the important elements of the process. As a result of the mathematical method formulation process, a database was designed that organizes and coordinates the operations of all berths within the port. This creates time to carry out the required maintenance work monthly as well as ease of coordination with the contractors responsible for the implementation of those works.

생산성은 컨테이너를 취급하는 작업소요시간의 최소화에 의해 극대화된다. 따라서 기존에는 전산시스템의 개선을 통해 생산성 향상을 추구해왔으나 이송장비의 운영 및 이송방식의 문제점으로 인해 한계가 있었다. 즉, 대표적인 이송장비인 Y/T(Yard Tractor)는 한 번의 주행에 양하 또는 적하 작업 중 하나만 가능하기 때문에 한 번의 주행에 양하와 적하를 순차적으로 동시에 수행할 수 있다면 작업소요시간이 단축될 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 RTLS(Real Time Location System) 기반의 Multi-Cycle System을 통하여 문제점을 해결하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 RTLS기술을 활용하여 Y/T의 실시간 위치파악, GIS기술을 통한 Y/T실시간 위치표시 및 최단거리 알고리즘(다익스트라)을 터미널업무에 활용하여 생산성을 향상시킬 수 있는 시스템을 개발하였다. 시스템에 대한 시뮬레이션 결과, 평균치대비 절감 운전거리율은 9%가 되었고 최대치대비 절감 운전거리율은 19%가 되었음을 확인할 수 있어 결과적으로 컨테이너터미널 생산성이 극대화됨을 알 수 있었다.

This paper addresses the issue of field measurement of excavation damage zone (EDZ) and its numerical simulation method considering both excavation unloading and blasting load effects. Firstly, a 2000 m-deep rock cavern in China is focused. A detailed analysis is conducted on the field measurement data regarding the mechanical response of rock masses subjected to excavation and blasting operation. The extent of EDZ is revealed 3.6 m-4.0 m, accounting for 28.6% of the cavern span, so it is significantly larger than rock caverns at conventional overburden depth. The rock mass mechanical response subjected to excavation and blasting is time-independent. Afterwards, based on findings of the field measurement data, a numerical evaluation method for EDZ determination considering both excavation unloading and blasting load effects is presented. The basic idea and general procedures are illustrated. It features a calibration operation of damage constant, which is defined in an elasto-plastic damage constitutive model, and a regression process of blasting load using field blasting vibration monitoring data. The numerical simulation results are basically consistent with the field measurement results. Further, some issues regarding the blasting loads, applicability of proposed numerical method, and some other factors are discussed. In conclusion, the field measurement data collected from the 2000 m-deep rock cavern and the corresponding findings will broaden the understanding of tunnel behavior subjected to excavation and blasting at great depth. Meanwhile, the presented numerical simulation method for EDZ determination considering both excavation unloading and blasting load effects can be used to evaluate rock caverns with similar characteristics.

The aim of this study was to identify the effect of suspension unloading (SU) and electrical stimulation upon the development of neonatal muscular system. For this study, the neonatal rats were randomly divided into three groups: a control group, an experimental group I, and an experimental group II. The SU for experimental group I and II was applied from postnatal day (PD) 5 to PD 30. The electrical stimulation for soleus muscle of experimental group IIwas applied from PD 16 to PD 30 using neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), which gave isometric contraction with 10 pps for 30 minutes twice a day. In order to observe the effect of SU and ES, this study observed myocyte enhancer factor 2C (MEF2C) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) immunoreactivity in the soleus muscles at PD 15 and PD 30. In addition, the motor behavior test was performed through footprint analysis at PD 30. The following is the result. At PD 15, the soleus muscles of experimental group Iand II had significantly lower MEF2C, VEGF immunoreactivity than the control group. It proved that microgravity conditions restricted the development of the skeletal muscle cells at PD 15. At PD 30, soleus muscles of the control group and experimental group II had significantly higher MEF2C, VEGF, immunoreactivity than experimental group I. It proved that the NMES facilitated the development of the skeletal muscle cells. At PD 30, it showed that SU caused the decrease in stride length of parameter of gait analysis and an increase in toe-out angle, and that the NMES decreased these variations. These results suggest that weight bearing during neonatal developmental period is essential for muscular development. They also reveal that NMES can encourage the development of muscular systems by fully supplementing the effect of weight bearing, which is an essential factor in the neonatal developmental process.

In order to meet the increasing competitive pressures coupled with higher demands for component quality, whirling machines have been at the cutting edge of the automobile industry for more than 25 years. The hard whirling process can save on machining time and operation elimination. Hard whirling is done dry, without coolant. The chips carry away nearly all of the heat during cutting, leaving the workpiece cool and minimizing any thermal geometry variations. The surface finish and profile accuracy are close to grinding quality. Whirling machines usually consist of four major parts; 1) loading system that requires the necessary axial speeds, 2) head stock that needs high precision clamping and positioning system at the chuck and tailstock, 3) whirling unit that demands the high cutting speeds and cutting power fer cutting deep thread profiles and 4) unloading system that requires an easy workpiece unloading. Also, capabilities of the whirling machine can be improved by attaching a vision system to the machine. Most of whirling machines in Korean automobile industry are imported from the Leistritz company, Germany and the Hasegawa company, Japan. Tn this paper, a basic research will be performed to improve and enhance the existing whirling machines. Finally, a new Korean whirling machine will be proposed and developed.

지난 COVID-19로 인해 항만 노동자 수가 일시적으로 감소하는 경우가 발생하였다. 감염병 확산 방지를 위해 다수의 노동자가 격리됨에 따라 항만 운영 프로세스 곳곳에서 병목과 대기가 발생하여 터미널의 혼잡도가 증가하였고, 이로 인해 터미널 운영 효율성이 저하되는 등의 문제가 발생하였다. 그러나 터미널 혼잡도는 터미널의 운영 효율성과 직결되는 핵심 지표임에도 터미널 내부 하역장비 중심의 혼잡도는 명확한 계산이 이루어지지 않는것으로 파악된다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 하역장비 중심의 컨테이너터미널 혼잡도를 측정하고자 한다. 여러 분야에서 일반적으로 사용되는 혼잡도 산정방식은 이미지 기반의 데이터를 바탕으로 혼잡도를 측정하고 있다. 이러한 방식은 양적하 계획에 따라 움직이는 하역장비의 특성상 기존의 혼잡도 산정방식을 그대로 적용하는것은 다소 무리가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 장비의 대기시간 및 turn around time 등을 활용한 터미널 혼잡도의 산정방식을 제시하고, 부산항 A 터미널의 데이터를 활용하여 산정된 혼잡도의 유의성을 검증하였다.
