This paper describes a design process of end-milling cutters: solid model of the designed cutter is constructed along with computation of cutter geometry, and the wheel geometry as well as wheel positioning data f3r fabricating end-mills with required cutter geometry is calculated. In the process, the main idea is to use the cutting simulation method by which the machined shape of an end-milling cutter is obtained via Boolean operation between a given grinding wheel and a cylindrical workpiece (raw stock). Major design parameters of a cutter such as rake angle, inner radius can be verified by interrogating the section profile of its solid model. We studied relations between various dimensional parameters and proposed an iterative approach to obtain the required geometry of a grinding wheel and the CL data for machining an end-milling cutter satisfying the design parameters. This research has been implemented on a commercial CAD system by use of the API function programming, and is currently used by a tool maker in Korea. It can eliminate producing a physical prototype during the design stage, and it can be used for virtual cutting test and analysis as well.

Hot-forging process and die design were made for a large-scale compressor wheel of Ti-6Al-4V alloy by using the results of 2-D FEM simulation. The design integrated the geometry-controlled approach and the processing contour map based on the dynamic materials model and the flow stability criteria. In order to obtain the processing contour map of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, compression tests were carried out in the temperature range of $915^{\circ}C$ to $1015^{\circ}C$ and the strain rate range of $10^{-3}s^{-1}$ to $10s^{-1}$. In the die design of the compressor wheel using the rigid-plastic FEM simulation, forging dimensional accuracy, the capacity of the forging machine and defect-free forging were considered as main design factors. The microstructure of hot forged wheel using the designed die showed a typical alpha-beta structure without forging-defects.

Conventionally, grinding of stainless steel, aluminium ally, copper alloy, and titanum alloy are difficult to obtain the high quality finish, because they have the mechanical properties such as low hardness, high toughness which result in the loading of wheel and the poor surface finish. Inorder to perform the grinding operations for these sorts of materials easily, the discontinuous grinding wheel with multi-porous grooves has newly been developed. The multi-porous grooves were formed during wheel production. This discontinous grinding wheel increases the grinding performance. It is desirable to use the discontinuous grinding wheel when grinding materials wiht high efficiency and accuracy which is impossible by conventional wheels. In this paper, the constructing and manufacturing method of grinding wheel with multi-proous grooves are explained, and the grinding charateristics of discontinuous grinding wheel are also illustrate.

In this paper, we propose a new design of the permanent magnet reluctance wheel which will make it possible to attach the robot to a vertical plane and move it. In the newly suggested design, a permanent magnet is utilized to enhance the adhesive force during attachment, and an electromagnet is produced to weaken the magnetic field of the permanent magnet and reduce the adhesive force for easier detachment of wheels from steel plates. To characterize the performance of this new wheel design, a 3-D finite element analysis is executed using a commercial FE program. The results show that the adhesive force is reduced effectively by the electromagnet which flows in the reverse direction of the magnetic loop of the permanent magnet when the current is supplied to the coil.

Omni-directional mobile robots have been employed popularly in several application areas. However, the optimal design has not been considered yet. This paper introduces an optimal design methodology for omni-directional mobile robots. Optimal design parameters such as the offset distance and the wheel radius are identified with respect to isotropy. Furthermore, the force transmission ratio and actuator sizing problem are treated. Conclusivel, three cases are compared minimum actuation, two active caster wheel, and three active caster wheel, we claim that the redundantly actuated mobile robot with three active caster wheel has the best performance.

One of the main causes of severe wear or crack initiation in wheel and rail is the contact stress due to wheel-rail contact. First, we obtain contact stress due to the rail mounting slope using the finite element method. Second, the shape design based on more reasonable contact stress analysis rather th~n a general Hertzian contact theory is investigated in order to reduce the contact stress. The optimum -design is performed using the simple 2-D finite element model and its results are verified by 311) finite element analysis.

승용차의 휠은 타이어와 차체 무게를 지지하며, 회전력과 정지력을 노면으로 전달한다. 휠의 경량화는 차량의 연료효율에 효과적이므로, 스틸휠이 무게를 최소화하도록 디스크 홀이 형상을 최적화 하였다. 설계모델은 Pro/ENGINEER를 사용하여 설정하고, 설계모델의 해석은 ANSYS를 이용하였다. 범용 소프트웨어간의 직접적인 자료의 전달이 어려우므로 두 프로그램을 병합 사용하기 위해, 반응표면법을 이용한 근사함수를 구하였다. 5수준의 요인배치법의 실험값을 사용하여 최대응력과 최대 변위를 추출하였다. 초기 모델은 14인치 승용차용 스틸휠을 사용하였고, 디스크 홀의 폭을 설계변수로 선택하였다. 순차이차계획법과 활성화제약조건을 사용하는 PLBA(Pahenichny-Lim-Belegundu-Arora) 알고르즘을 이용하여 최적해를 구하였다.

본 논문에서는 Tsai-Wu 파손이론을 적용하여 Carbon/Epoxy 복합재 적층판으로 이루어진 자전거 휠의 경량화를 위한 적층수와 적층각에 대한 강도설계에 대하여 연구하였다. 복합재료는 적층수와 적층각에 따라 강도와 강성이 변하기 때문에 적용되는 설계 하중 조건에 따른 구조물의 최취약부에서 파손이 일어나지 않도록 최적의 적층각과 최소의 적층수를 찾아야한다. 따라서 유한요소해석을 이용하여 복합재 자전거 휠에 부가되는 수직, 복합하중조건에 대하여 가장 안정적인 적층수 및 적층각을 구하였다. 휠에 적용되는 적층각은 $[0]_{8n}$, $[90]_{8n}$, $[0/90]_{2ns}$, $[{\pm}45]_{2ns}$, $[0/{\pm}45/90]_{ns}$으로 적층수를 변화시켜가며 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 해석 결과로부터 $[0/{\pm}45/90]_{3s}$의 적층각이 파손에 안정적인 적층각 임을 제안하였다. 또한 이를 통하여 휠의 최취약부를 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, the consideration factors that affect the actual driving of a rover wheel was examined based on the wheel-terrain model. For the evaluation of driving performance in a real environment, the test bed of the rover wheel consists of the driving part of the wheel and sensing part of the various parameters was designed and assembled. Using the test bed, the preliminary driving experiment concerning the slip ratio, sinkage, and friction force according to the rotational velocity and the shape of the wheel were carried out and evaluated. The wheel test bed and the experiment results are expected to contribute to finding the optimal result in the designing of the wheel shape and the planning of the driving conditions through further study.
