Three-dimensional flow phenomena in a wire-wrapped 37-pin fuel assembly mock-up of a Japanese loop-type sodium-cooled fast reactor, Monju, were investigated with a numerical analysis using a general-purpose commercial computational fluid dynamics code, CFX. Complicated and vortical flow phenomena in the wire-wrapped 37-pin fuel assembly were captured by a Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes flow simulation using a shear stress transport turbulence model. The main purpose of the current study is to understand the three-dimensional complex flow phenomena in a wire-wrapped fuel assembly to support the license issue for the core design. Computational fluid dynamics results show good agreement with friction factor correlation models. The secondary flow in the corner and edge subchannels is much stronger than that in an interior subchannel. The axial velocity averaged in the corner and edge subchannels is higher than that averaged in the interior subchannels. Three-dimensional multiscale vortex structures start to be formed by an interaction between secondary flows around each wire-wrapped pin. Behavior of the large-scale vortex structures in the corner and edge subchannels is closely related to the relative position between the hexagonal duct wall and the helically wrapped wire spacer. The small-scale vortex is axially developed in the interior subchannels. Furthermore, a driving force on each wire spacer surface is closely related to the relative position between the hexagonal duct wall and the wire spacer.

본 논문은 지게차 AGV(autonomous ground vehicle)의 자율주행을 위한 제어 방법에 관한 연구이다. 기존에 개발된 지게차 AGV의 위치측정 방법으로는 자기-자이로 유도(magnet-gyro guidance) 방식과 유선 유도(wire guidance) 방법이 있지만, 유지보수에 대한 지속적인 노력과 비용문제가 있으며, 작업 환경의 변화에 따라 작업 환경을 재구성해야하는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 외란에 강인하고 작업 환경 및 작업 내용의 변경에 유연한 시스템을 구축하기 위해 레이저 내비게이션 센서와 엔코더, 자이로 센서의 센서융합을 통한 위치측정 시스템을 개발하였다. 또한 팔레트를 하역 운송해야하는 지게차 AGV의 주행제어를 위해 팔레트와 지게차 AGV 사이의 거리 차와 각도 차를 바탕으로 퍼지 제어 및 비례 제어를 이용한 주행제어기를 설계하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 지게차 AGV를 위한 제어 시스템의 성능 분석을 위해 물류 운송작업이 가능한 작업공간에서 동일한 하역 작업을 10회 반복 하였다. 그 결과, 시뮬레이션에 의해 생성된 경로와 실제 주행경로의 최대 평균 오차가 87.77mm를 가짐을 확인하였다.

With the growing traffic density and increasing comfort requirements, the automation of the drive train will gain importance in vehicles. The automatic clutch actuation relieves the drivers especially in urban driving and stop-and-go traffic conditions. In this paper, an electro-mechanical actuator for clutch-by-wire (CBW) system is implemented as the first stage for the development of automated manual transmissions. The prototype of CBW actuator is designed systematically, which is composed of the electric motor, worm & worm wheel and crank mechanism. And the test rig is developed to perform the basic function test for the automatic clutch actuation. The developed prototype is validated by the experimental results on the test rig.

We have designed and fabricated the slidacs type automatic voltage regulator(SVR) that is able to control the output voltage continuously according to load variation. Especially, the frictions between the surface of contact of the slidacs coils and the output wire moving shaft arc reduced by modifying the mechanical configuration of surface of contact of slidacs from the conventional sliding one into the proposed rotary one composed of cylindrical bearing. Thus, SVR using cylindrical bearing proposed in this study has less noise than the conventional one owing to the reduction of friction, and its breakdown ratio caused by the abrasion of contact materials is reduced as well. We have designed U motor driving circuit for controlling the output wire moving shaft, and introduced the digital control method using the pulse width modulation(PWM) output for controlling DC motor.

In this paper, we introduce the on-line test of the current collection characteristics for HSR 350x(Korea High Speed Train project) that have been performed in the Kyoung-bu high-speed line since 2002. Through the analysis of measured data during on-line test, the variation trend of contact force between pantograph and contact wire of catenary according to the span type, the track conditions and driving patterns is reviewed. In order to analyze the variation trend of contact force, we have checked the span type of catenary in KP 24 - 125 out of Kyoung-bu high speed line and obtained the statistical processing result per each span type. This study shows that the track conditions do not affect on the dynamic performance between pantograph and contact wire catenary, and the span type and the driving pattern are important factors in determining the good interaction between them.

전개형 우주 구조물의 구속 및 분리를 위해 일반적으로 적용되는 폭발식 분리장치의 경우, 극초소형 위성으로 분류되는 큐브위성에는 적용불가가 설계요구조건으로 규정되어있다. 큐브위성의 제한된 장착 공간과 이로 인한 저충격 요구조건, 저가의 개발비 등의 요구조건으로부터 일반적으로 적용이 용이한 나일론선 열선절단방식이 적용되고 있다. 하지만 나일론선 적용에 따른 낮은 체결력과 복수 구조물의 구속/분리를 위해 복수의 체결부와 열선을 필요로 하는 등 시스템 복잡화 및 신뢰도 저하의 문제점이 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 상기의 문제점 해결을 위해 힌지 구동형 분리너트를 적용한 구속분리장치를 제안하였으며, 인증시험 온도범위에서의 분리장치 동작 기능시험, 정하중 시험, 충격레벨 측정시험을 통해 설계의 유효성을 입증하였다.

Background: Pre-lifting of the sternum marked a major turning point in pectus excavatum repair. The author developed the crane technique in 2002 and successfully applied it to more than 2,000 cases using sternal wire stitching. However, blind sternal suturing limited the use of the wire-stitch crane. We propose a novel screw for sternal lifting as a new tool for the crane technique. Methods: We developed a screw system strong enough to withstand the pressure needed for sternum lifting. The screw was designed to have a broader thread to hold the bony tissue securely. The screw's sustaining power was tested using the torsion, driving torque, and axial pull-out tests in a polyurethane block and ex-vivo porcine sternum. Results: The screws were easily driven into the sternum, and the head of the screw was connectable to the table-mounted retractor. In the torsion test, the 2° offset torsional yield was 4.53 N·m (reference value, 1 N·m). In the polyurethane block driving torque test, the maximum torque was 0.98 N·m (reference value, 0.70 N·m). The axial pull-out test was 446 N (reference value, 100 N). The maximum pull-out resistance in the ex-vivo porcine sternum model was 1,516 N. Conclusion: The screw crane was strong enough to sustain the chest wall weight to be lifted. Thus, the screws could effectively replace the sternal wire stitching in crane pre-lifting of the sternum. We expect that application of the screw-crane will be easy and that it will improve the safety and success rate of pectus repair surgery.

ASIC의 타이밍 특성 분석은 회로를 구성하는 게이트와 이들을 연결하는 배선의 지연 시간을 바탕으로 이루어진다. 게이트의 지연 시간은 입력에 인가된 파형의 천이 시간과 출력에 연결된 부하 커패시턴스를 변수로 하는 이차원 테이블로 모델링할 수 있다. 배선의 지연 시간은 배선에서 추출한 저항, 커패시턴스 등으로 구성된 배선회로에 AWE 기법을 적용하여 계산할 수 있다. 그러나 이들 지연 시간은 구동 게이트와 배선의 상호 작용의 영향을 받으므로 이 효과를 반영하여 이차원 테이블 모델과 AWE 기법을 사용하여야 한다. 배선을 구동하는 게이트가 한 개라는 가정 하에서 유효 커패시턴스와 게이트 구동 모델을 통하여 상호 작용을 고려하는 기법이 제안된 바 있다. 본 논문은 이를 확장하여 병렬로 연결된 여러 개의 CMOS 게이트가 동시에 배선을 구동하는 경우를 다룰 수 있는 기법을 제시하고 있다. 이 기법을 C 프로그램으로 구현하여 CMOS ASIC 제품에 적용한 결과 , 게이트와 배선의 지연 시간을 SPICE와 비교하여 수 십 배 이상 빠른 속도와 수 % 이내의 오차로 분석하였다.

We designed and implemented a fork-type automatic guided vehicle (AGV) with a laser guidance system. Most previous AGVs have used two types of guidance systems: magnetgyro and wire guidance. However, these guidance systems have high costs, are difficult to maintain with changes in the operating environment, and can drive only a pre-determined path with installed sensors. A laser guidance system was developed for addressing these issues, but limitations including slow response time and low accuracy remain. We present a laser guidance system and control system for AGVs with laser navigation. For analyzing the performance of the proposed system, we designed and built a fork-type AGV, and performed repetitions of our experiments under the same working conditions. The results show an average positioning error of 51.76 mm between the simulated driving path and the driving path of the actual fork-type AGV. Consequently, we verified that the proposed method is effective and suitable for use in actual AGVs.
