Various surface grinding experiments using resin bonded diamond abrasive wheels are carried out for tungsten carbide materials in order to minimize the damage on the ground surface and to purse the precise dimension compared to conventional grinding machine. When grinding quality is constant, theoretical grinding effect is changed according to the speed of workpiece. Accordingly, grinding forces, which are Fn, Ft, were analyzed for the machining processes of tungsten-carbide material to obtain optimum grinding conditions. Brief investigation is carried out to decrease the dressing efficiency of resinoid bonded diamond grinding wheel to grind tungsten-carbide. Truing is also carried out to provide a desired shape on a wheel or to correct a dulled profile. High quality in dimensional accuracy and surface are often required as a structural components, therefore 3-points bending test is carried out to check machining damage on the ground surface layer, which in one of sintered brittle material. From this experimental study, some useful machining data and information to determine proper machining condition for grinding of tungsten-carbide materials are obtained.

In order to control and balance axial thrust of turbo machine, many types of balancing devices are used but most of them are complicated and sometimes cause troubles. In this study, a very simple device of using shallow grooves mounted on a casing wall, known as "J-Groove", is proposed and studied experimentally and theoretically. The result shows that 70% of axial thrust in an industrial 4-stage centrifugal pump can be reduced at the best efficiency point. Moreover, the analytical method of "interfered gap flow" is established and a simple formula which can determine the optimum dimension of groove and its location is proposed.

This paper is proposed a selection method of the major design dimension which constrain the maximum acceleration capability and minimum power loss of surface-mounted brushless do motor with NdFeB permanent magnet for servo drives. Expressions are derived from the air-gap flux density and the linear current density around the stator periphery and design dimensions. The linear current density is limited by the need to avoid demagnetization. In this paper, We compute the optimum design dimensions of 2KW BLDC motor with maximum acceleration capability and minimum power loss by using genetic algorithm.

A numerical investigation was performed to determine the effect of airfoil on the optimum flap height using NACA0015 Wells turbine. The five double flaps which have 0.5% difference were selected. A Navier-Stokes code, CFX-TASCflow, was used to calculate the flow field of the Wells turbine. The basic feature of the Wells turbine is that even though the cyclic airflow produces oscillating axial forces on the airfoil blades, the tangential force on the rotor is always in the same direction. Geometry used to define the three dimension numerical grid is based upon that of an experimental test rig. This paper tries to disign the double flap of Wells turbine with the numerical analysis.

Monolith aperture-type oxygen sensors with simple structure of YSZ(pin-hole)/Pt/ YSZ(solid electrolyte)/Pt were fabricated by co-firing technique. To enhance the yield of productivity, a couple of YSZ green sheets for diffused barrier and solid electrolyte were prepared by tape-casting and co-firing method. The limit current characteristics of the oxygen sensors were measured between 500 and $650^{\circ}C$ The heating temperature of $600^{\circ}C$ was optimum as a portable oxygen sensor in the range of oxygen concentration from 0 to 75 vol%. Linear proficiency of limit current behavior as a function of oxygen concentration was controlled by the variation of aperture dimension. The fabricated oxygen sensors showed the stable sensing output for 30 days. Gas leakage in bonding area due to warping, cracking and thermal cycling was not found in the period.

Fabrication of three dimensional microstructures by laser-assisted chemical vapor deposition of material is investigated. To fabricate microstructures, a thin layer of deposit in desired patterns is first written using laser direct writing technique and on top of this layer a second layer is deposited to provide the third dimension normal to the surface. By depositing many layers. a three dimensional microstructure is fabricated. Optimum deposition conditions for direct writing of initial and subsequent layers with good surface quality and profile uniformity are determined. Using an arson ion laser and ethylene as the light source and reaction gas, respectively, fabrication of three-dimensional carbon microstructures is demonstrated.

With a purpose to manufacture an onion peeler, the root cutting equipment of the onion could be attached to a prototype onion peeler was developed. Before the experiment, the distribution of the dimensions of the Korean native onion were measured. And some types of the blades to cut and remove the root of the onion were designed and such characteristics as feasible revolution, conveying speed, and power requirement were investigated. From the result of the test, the selected one among the various cutters was the wing type blade with the round blade to cut out the root and with the vertical blade to cut a circular line. The optimum operating conditions of the wing type blade were revealed the revolution with no load was at 630 rpm, and the conveying speed was 0.08 m/s. Under these conditions, the maximum torque was 5.25 kg·m and the power requirement was 33 W, respectively.

This paper develops the compliance approach to the problem of load sharing between a cracked plate and a patch used to bridge the crack. The theory is validated by using calculated stress intensity factors for the patched and unpatched case to reduce experimentally observed growth rates to common base, Calculations are then made on the effect of patch dimension on fatique life technique. The optimum design of the patch considered the life expectancy and fracture strength of the cracked structure can be performed simply by using this technique.

A technology of hardening porous materials of titan powders has been elaborated. The technology is based on passing alternating current with duration of ${\sim}10^{-1}{\ldots}10^1$ s through porous ($35{\ldots}40%$) blanks made by method of Sintering by Electric Discharge (SED) by passing a pulse of current with duration of ${\sim}10^{-5}{\ldots}10^{-3}$ s. The influence of technological regimes of porous blanks treatment on their structure and properties is investigated. Geometry and dimension of contact necks between powder particles of obtained samples are evaluated. Variations of porosity and strengths as well as microstructure of porous samples materials before and after treatment are investigated. Optimum range of treatment technological regimes is determined within which porosity of $30{\ldots}35%$ with maximum strength values.
