This paper suggests generalize mathematica mode for the benefit of volumetric error analysis of a multi-axis machine tool machining a sculptured surfaces. The volumetric error, in this paper, is defined as a three dimensional error at the cutting point, which is caused by the geometric errors and the kinematic errors of each axis and alignment errors of the cutting tool. The actual cutting position is analyzed based on the form shaping model including a geometric error of the moving carriage, where a form shaping model is derived from the homogeneous transformation matrix. Then the volumetric error is obtained by calculating the position difference between the actual cutting position and the ideal one calculated from a Nonuniform Rational B-Spline named as NURES. The simulation study shows the effectiveness for predicting the behavior of machining error and for the method of error compensation.

Methodology of volumetric error identification and compensation is presented to improve the accuracy of NC machine tools by using a reference artifact and a touch trigger probe. Homogeneous transformation matrix and kinematic chain are used for modeling the geo-metric and thermal errors of a three-axis vertical machining center. The reference artifact is designed and fabricated to identify the model parameters by machine tool metrology. Parameters in the error model are able to be identified and updated by direct measurement of the reference artifact on the machine tool under the actual conditions which include the thermal interactions of error sources. A volumetric error compensation system based on IBM/PC is linked with a FANUC CNC controller to compensate for the identified volumetric error in machining workspace.

In reciprocating internal combustion engine, engine performance Is greatly affected by volumetric efficiency. For gas flow, the dynamic effects caused by the pressure pulsation have influence on the volumetric efficiency and correlate to the configuration and pipe length of intake-exhaust system. In this study, the analytic investigation of the unstudy flow In exhaust pipe has been carried out by using the method of characteristics to predict volumetric efficiency. In conculusion, it is possible to take account of the exhaust pipe tuning effect in predicting the engine performance, by the analytic solution of the unsteady flow in the pipes, and comparision of prediction with experimental datas show a good agreement on the pressure varision in the exhaust pipe which has Influence on the volumetric efficiency and performance of engine.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the soil-water characteristic curves for an unsaturated soil. To this ends, a series of suction measured test was conducted on the selected 4 kinds of soils taken from different sites of Korea, using modified pressure plate apparatus. Form the test results, the water contents, degree of saturation and volumetric water contents were analyzed with the suction. And the soil-water characteristic curves of unsaturated soil were drawn from the test results for various factors. The characteristic curves drawn with water content vs matric suction were classified certainly the difference in wet side but were not classified in dry side. The characteristic curves drawn with degree of saturation vs matric suction for unsaturated soil were shown the opposite inclination as compared with the former curve. But the characteristic curve with volumetric water content vs matric suction was described suitably not only in wet side condition but also in dry side. And it was found that the volumetric water contents of loose soil was high at the initial condition but that of dense soil was high at final condition (dry side).

In this study turbine flowmeters were used to predict volumetric flow rate of each phase in two-phase, gas-liquid, flowing in a vertical tube. To determine volumetric flow rates of two-phase, air-water, flowing vertically upward through the polycarbonate tube(57mm ID-inside diameter), two turbine flow meters were used. For void fraction measurements, two gamma densitometers were used at each location of the turbine flow meter, one at the upstream and the other at the downstream. It was determined that the turbine flowmeter's outputs were a function of actual volumetric flow rate of each of the two phases. A two-phase flow model was developed.

For volumetric error measurement and calibration for machine tools, manufacturing machine or coordinate measuring machine (CMM), are studied using a Ball-bar artifact. A design of the Ball-bar is suggested manufactured by Invar, which is a low thermal expansion material, and precision steel balls. The uncertainty for the artifact method is discussed. A method of the Ball-bar artifact for obtaining 3-D position errors in CMM is proposed. The method of error vector measurement is shown using the Ball-bar artifact. Finally, the volumetric error is calculated from the error vectors and it can be used for Pitch error compensation in conventional NC machine and 3-D position Error map for calibration of NC machine tools.

The Volumetric Interferometer using two spherical wavefronts emitted from the ends of two single mode fibers has been suggested to measure 3-dimensional absolute coordinates. In this paper, we try to improve the performance of the volumetric interferometer using multi-CCDs. We get coordinates matching matrixes between CCDs and can obtain more information in the space with multi-CCDs. Also we find out the best arrangement of multi-CCDs by computer simulations. In the simulation we can know that it will be better to increase the distance between CCDs to improve performance. For the performance test, we do a repeatability test, a comparison test with 2-D stage and the self-calibration using artifact.

The EGR is needed for one of various strategies to reduce NOx emission. But to get the proper EGR rate the intake and exhaust system become complicated. That is a reason why we consider using the built0in EGR system. The built-in EGR is a system which reduces Nox by controling the residual gas fraction in cylinder by changing valve timing and valve lift of intake and exhaust. In this paper characteristics of volumetric efficiency and residual gas fraction in cylinder were investigated for various engine speeds by changing valve timing and valve lift of intake and exhaust. In this paper characteristics of volumetric efficiency and residual gas fraction in cylinder were investigated for various engine speeds by changing valve timing and valve lift of intake and exhaust in the 4 stroke-cycle diesel engine. Volumetric efficiency and residual gas fraction were calculated by the method of characteristics. As the results the possibility of suing the built-in EGR system was confirmed.

기체분리막의 성능을 평가하기 위한 Manometric method의 몇가지 투과측정장치 중, High-Vacuum technique는 기체 투과계수, 확산계수 및 용해도계수의 정확한 값을 얻는데 가장 유용한 장치이다. 그러나 이 장치는 비용이 비싸고, 조작법이 복잡하며, 투과실험시 계 내의 투과측의 농도를 분석할 수 없고, 측정시간이 많이 걸리는 단점이 있다. 따라서 보다 간단하고 일반적인 측정장치는 막내 기체 확산계수의 측정에는 정확도가 떨어지지만, Low-Vacuum Technique 측정장치가 더 많이 사용되고 있다. Volumetric method는 조작법이 간단하며, 계 내의 농도분석이 가능하고, 측정시간이 빠르며, 비용이 적게 드는 장점이 있다. 일반적으로 Volumetric 투과특정장치로 투과계수는 얻었지만, 확산계수에 대해서는 극소수의 연구자들만이 언급하고 있다. 이는 실험하는 방법의 어려움과 기체의 막내 농도분포에 대해 수학적으로 적합한 모델의 해를 얻지 못한데 있다. 최근데 Lee 등은 Volumetric method을 이용한 확산계수의 평가에 대해 연구하여 신뢰성 있는 결과를 보여주었다. 따라서 본 실험은 Volumetric method를 이용하여 막내 기체 확산계수의 측정을 위해 온도, 압력및 분자직경에 따라 Standing time의 예측에 대해 검토하였다.
