In this paper, we propose simultaneous control which improve in transient state performance of mechanical parking facilities through simultaneous control of PLC and inverter. In conventional mechanical parking facilities, it is controlled only by PLC, and it is more likely to generate over-currents in induction motors, and the ride comfort is reduced due to wear and damage caused by friction on the brake pads, and the life is shortened. To improve this problems the application of control techniques through simultaneous control of PLC and inverter prevents over-currents in induction motors, protects brake pads, improves ride comfort, increases control and ensures safety. We verify its validity by applying the proposed control method via simultaneous control of PLC and inverter to a mechanical parking facility.

Centrifugal pumps are typically used in many slurry industries to transport solid materials. Solid particles in the slurry frequently shock the walls inside the pump, significantly abrading the flow path. Wear damage causes replacement of the pump components, which wastes manpower and time. Therefore, previous studies have been conducted on factors to improve efficiency and life time. This study identifies trends in pumps supplying lime to desulfurized devices from thermal power plants. The shear stress transport(SST) model is used to determine the erosion trend of the centrifugal pump that transfers lime slurry. The purpose of this study is to identify efficiency and erosion trends by selecting three of the various impeller design elements. The three impeller blade design variables mentioned above represent the inlet draft angle and blade angle of leading edge(L.E) and trailing edge(T.E). The maximum value of the erosion density rate tends to be similar to the Input power.

The Directed Energy Deposition (DED) is a representative metal additive manufacturing method. Owing to its strong point of repairment, its application is gradually spreading in aerospace applications, power generation, military components, and mold making. 5-axis cladding is needed to repair damage, such as wear and scratches on cylindrical surfaces to circular-shaped parts, including sleeves and liners. Furthermore, the condition of cladding on inclined parts must also be considered to prevent interference between the nozzle and the part. In this study, the effects of changes in scanning speed due to the 5-axis control system and differences from the height of laser beam irradiation due to inclination are evaluated among the items that should be additionally considered in 5-axis cladding compared to 3-axis cladding. Moreover, the trends of the width and height of the clad are identified by different tilting angles via single line cladding. Lastly, cladding methods on cylindrical surfaces at various angles are proposed to enhance the clad quality and post-processing efficacy. These results can be applied with 5-axis cladding on inclined surfaces, including cylindrical surfaces.

The amount of natural gas that is used on a worldwide scale is continuously going up. Natural gas and acidic components, such as hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide, cause significant corrosion damage to transmission lines and equipment in various quantities. One of the fundamental processes in natural gas processing is the separation of acid gases, among which the safety and environmental needs due to the high toxicity of hydrogen sulfide and also to prevent wear and corrosion of pipelines and gas transmission and distribution equipment, the necessity of sulfide separation Hydrogen is more essential than carbon dioxide and other compounds. Given this problem's significance, this endeavor aims to extend the lifespan of the transmission lines' pipes for gas and oil. Zinc oxide nanoparticles made from the environmentally friendly source of Allium scabriscapum have been employed to accomplish this crucial purpose. This is a simple, safe and cheap synthesis method compared to other methods, especially chemical methods. The formation of zinc oxide nanoparticles was shown by forming an absorption peak at a wavelength of about 355 nm using a spectrophotometric device and an X-ray diffraction pattern. The size and morphology of synthesized nanoparticles were determined by scanning and transmission electron microscope, and the range of size changes of nanoparticles was determined by dynamic light scattering device.

Recently, several studies are being conducted to achieve a curvature of 180° or more for the edge of the display glass. The thermocompression molding process is applied to the manufacture of curved glass, and high hardness G5 graphite is used as the mold material to withstand the impact applied to the mold. G5 graphite has high hardness and strong brittleness, which makes tool wear and surface damage easy during machining. Therefore, the demand for diamond-coated tools with good mechanical properties is increasing in the G5 machining field. In this study, the optimal cutting conditions and machinability of a nanodiamond (NCD) coated ball end mill being developed by a tool manufacturer were analyzed and evaluated. For this purpose, the same test was performed on the microdiamond (MCD) coated ball end mill and compared together. In summary, the machinability of MCD and NCD coated tools showed better cutting performance at a cutting speed of 282 m/min, a feed rate of 1,400 mm/min, and a radial depth of cut of 0.08 to 0.1 mm.

Concrete is one of the most widely used structure materials. Concrete is like the motor of the construction industry. The remarkable feature of this Concrete is its cheapness and low energy consumption. Concrete alone does not show resistance against any force but only against compressive forces. Therefore, steel rebar product is used as a reinforcement and increase the strength of Concrete. It can be done by putting rebar in Concrete in different ways. Rebar rusting is one of the crucial symptoms that cause swift destruction in reinforced structures-factors such as moisture in concrete increase the steel corrosion rate. In most cases, it is difficult to compensate for the damage caused by the corrosion of base metals, so preventing corrosion will be much more cost-effective. Coatings made with nanotechnology can protect Concrete against external degradation factors to prevent water and humidity from penetrating the Concrete and prevent rusting and corrosion of the rebar inside. It prevents water penetration and contamination into the Concrete and increases the Concrete's quality and structural efficiency. In this research, silica and titanium dioxide nanoparticle coatings have been used due to their suitable electrical and thermal properties, resistance to oxidation, corrosion, and wear to prevent the corrosion of rebars in Concrete. The results of this method show that these nanoparticles significantly improve the corrosion resistance of rebars.

Excessive occlusal wear can result in unacceptable damage to the residual teeth structure, anterior guidance and masticatory function. An 86-year-old man presented with worn dentition and anterior deep bite due to loss of the posterior support. Two implants covered by Korean national health insurance, fixed partial denture and direct composite resin were used to restore the dentition, instead of removable prosthesis. The occlusal vertical dimension was increased by 2 mm in the premolar area and shortened dental arch concept was applied. This treatment was a less expensive alternative to full-mouth rehabilitation with positive esthetic and functional outcomes after 7 months of follow-up.

Structural deterioration of the bioprosthetic xenograft valves due to primary tissue failure occurs in two modes: from fatigue lesions with tear and wear with or without calcification and from calcification with obstruction. Two groups of consecutive 56 patients with the Hancock porcine ortic valve(HM) and of 1 13 patients with the standard-profile onescu-Shiley bovine pericardial valve(ISM) explanted from mitral position at the time of re-replacement surgery for primary tissue failure at Seoul national University Hospital until 1994, were studied for clinical and pathological features. Their ages at primary implant were 31.9 $\pm$9.2 years In HM and 30.4$\pm$ 12.5 years in ISM. Hemodrnamic dysfunction of the failed mitral bloprostheses were predominantly insufficiency in HM(64.3%) and stenosis in ISM(51.3%)(p<0.001). Pathologic findings of the explanted mitral valves reflected these hemodynamic changes, revealing failure more often from tissue damage(tears and wears) in HM and more often from calcification in ISM(p< 0.001). Explant period(from primary implant to explant) was relatively short in ISM(8.7$\pm$2.6years), compared with the one in HM(10.4 $\pm$2.6 years)(p<0.001). In conclusion, both the Hancock and the lonescu-shiley valves would fail from calcification as well as issue damage. However, while the Hancock porcine valves in mitral position failed more frequently from tissue failure and insufficiency, the standard-profile lonescu-Shiley pericardial valves did from calcification and stenosis, especially in young pAtients . Although the possibility of less occurrence of valve failure from mechanical reasons may be expected with newer generation bloprostheses, it does not seem to Improve durability significantly unless further refinement in antimineralization is achieved. Therefore, clinical use of the glutaraldehyde-treated bioprosthetic valves is, at present, limited to the patients of advanced age groups.

Although TBM's cutterhead requires design review for fatigue failure due to wear-induced section loss as well as heavy load during excavation, it is difficult to find a case of fatigue analysis for TBM cutterhead at present. In this study, a stress-life design review was conducted on cutter heads with a diameter of 8.2 m using S-N curves as a safety life design concept. Also, we introduced the fatigue design method of construction equipment and the method of assessing fatigue damage and explained the results of the fatigue analysis on the TBM cutter head with a diameter of 8.2 m. The S-N curve has been shown to play a key role in fatigue design and can also be used to assess how much fatigue damage a structure is suffering from at this point in time. In the future, it is necessary to find out when fatigue problems occur during using the equipment and when it is good to conduct safety inspections of the equipment.
