Piping work of large ships or offshore plants is often done in a narrow and confined space, requiring precise bending and safety. In order to realize an accurate bending angle, it is very important to predict and correct a deformation that may be caused by elasticity in the bending process, that is, an angular deviation due to springback. Therefore, by using CAE analysis to develop a correction angle model for springback based on multiple tube bending angles and using trend line data derived from this correction angle model, at bending the tube as the diameter of the base former and the tube outer diameter change, the springback compensation angle at any angle can be obtained. In this study, the bending mechanism was analyzed to increase the bending precision, and a correction angle model was developed and a trend line was derived in consideration of springback occurring in the bending process. In order to derive a more accurate and reliable trend line, a tube tensile test was performed, and the reliability of the corrected angle trend line was verified by comparing the bending angle measurement and analysis results with a 3D scanner.

Sensitivity studies of blade angle and twisted angle are numerically investigated to optimize the Savonius blade. As blade angle increases, the contact area between blade and wind decreases, showing the suppression of the vortex generation near blade. Compared to the blade angle of 0 degree, the blade angle of 20 degree shows about 2.6% increment of power efficiency. Based on the blade angle of 20 degree, sensitivity studies of the twisted angle are performed. The result indicates that the adjustment of the twisted angle causes the torque of blade to increase. Optimized blade can suppress the formation of the vortex structure in rear region. Also, wind flows without disturbance of vortex when passing through the optimized blade. The 1kw vertical wind turbine system with optimized blade can generate 4442.2kWh per year and have 53% capacity factor.

In this paper, a guidance law for intercepting maneuvering target with a desired impact angle is proposed. The proposed guidance law is modified from the optimal impact angle control law for a fixed target and given by a biased PN law with the impact angle control term in addition to the conventional PN law. Three different kinds of desired impact angles in the respect of LOS angle, flight path angle, and relative flight path angle to the target are defined. The performance of the proposed guidance law is investigated via numerical simulations for various air-to-air engagement scenarios.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to evaluate if there is significant correlations between the angle of costal arch and digestion, and BMI(Body Mass Index). Methods : To know the correlation between digestion and the angle of costal arch, we hand-measured the angle of costal arch and made questionnaire about digestion. We analysed the data with Pearson product-moment correlation analysis using SPSS 12.0. Results : There is proportional correlation between the angle of costal arch and digestion. Also wider costal arch shows better appetite, faster speed of eating and more quantity of meal. And someone having wider costal arch has less digestion disorder after eating heavy foods or being anxious. And there is proportional relation between angle of the angle of costal arch and BMI. Conclusions : There is significant correlation between the angle of costal arch and digestion as wider costal arch can digest better. Also it has proportional relation between the angle of costal arch and BMI. We expect that further study about morphology of abdomen will develop our abdominal examination and diagnostic methods.

Angle sensors based on the principle of autocollimation, which are usually called autocollimators, can accurately measure small tilt angles of a light-reflecting flat surface. This paper describes a prototype micro-angle sensor that is based on the laser autocollimation technique. The new angle sensor is compact and consists of a laser diode as the light source and a quadrant photodiode as a position-sensing device. Because of its concise design, the microangle sensor facilitates dynamic measurements of the angular error motions of a precision stage without influencing the original dynamic properties of the stage. This is because the sensor only requires a small extra target mirror to be mounted on the stage. The sensitivity of the angle detection is independent of the focal length of the objective lens; therefore, an objective lens with a relatively short focal length is employed to reduce the size of the device. The micro-angle sensor uses a single lens for the both the laser collimation and focusing, which distinguishes it from the conventional laser autocollimation method that has separate collimate and objective lenses. The new micro-angle sensor has dimensions of $15.1\times22.0\times14.0mm$ and its resolution is better than 0.1 arc-second The optical design and performance of this micro-angle sensor were verified by experimental results.

In this study, we developed an optical sighting system capable of shooting at a long-distance target by operating a digital gyro mirror composed of a gyro sensor and an FSM. The optical sighting system consists of a reticle part, a digital gyro mirror (FSM), a parallax correction lens, a reticle-ray reflection mirror, and a partial reflection window. In order to obtain the optimal volume and to calculate the leading angle range according to the driving angle of the FSM, a calculation program using Euler rotation angles and a three-dimensional reflection matrix was developed. With this program we have confirmed that the horizontal leading angle of the developed optical sighting system can be implemented under about ${\pm}8^{\circ}$ for the maximum horizontal driving angle (${\beta}={\pm}12.5^{\circ}$) of the current FSM. Also, if the ${\beta}$ horizontal driving angle of the FSM is under about ${\pm}15.5^{\circ}$, it can be confirmed that the horizontal direction leading angle can be under ${\pm}10.0^{\circ}$. If diagonal leading angles are allowed, we confirmed that we can achieve a diagonal leading angle of ${\pm}10.0^{\circ}$ with a vertical driving angle ${\alpha}$ of ${\pm}7.1^{\circ}$ and horizontal driving angle ${\beta}$ of ${\pm}12.5^{\circ}$.

In this study, the prediction of the bending angle for the 350 A bellows-type expansion joints and the structural stability according to the load were determined. The stability of the 2km piping system was predicted by applying the allowable bending angle of the expansion pipe joint obtained from the analysis. The maximum bending angle was calculated through bending analysis of the bellows-type expansion joints, and the maximum bending angle by numerical calculation was about 1.8°, and the maximum bending angle of the bellows obtained by comparing the allowable strength of the material was about 0. 22°. This angle was very stable compared to the allowable bending angle (3°) of the expansion pipe joint regulation. By applying the maximum bending angle, the allowable maximum deflection of the 2 km pipe was about 3.8 m. When the seismic load was considered using regression analysis, the maximum deflection of the 2km pipe was about 142.3mm, and it was confirmed that the bellows-type expansion joints and the deflection were stable compared to the allowable maximum deflection of the pipe system. These research results are expected to present design and analysis guidelines for the construction of piping and the development of bellows systems, and to be used as basic data for systematic research.

The current flat type side slip tester measures only the total side slip. Therefore, measurement techniques which can be used to determine the side slip for each alignment element were examined. Because the side slip related to the camber angle varies depending on the unit load per travel wheel while the side slip related to the toe angle does not on the unit per travel wheel, but depends only on the direction of the tire, the side slip for each alignment element can be determined separately.

For a smooth plane curve, the curvature can be characterized by the rate of change of the angle between the tangent vector and a fixed vector. In this article we prove that the curvature of a space curve can also be given by the rate of change of the locally defined angle between the tangent vector at a point and the nearby point. By using height functions, we introduce turning angle of a space curve and characterize the curvature by the rate of change of the turning angle. The main advantage of the turning angle is that it can be used to characterize the curvature of discrete curves. For this purpose, we introduce a discrete turning angle and a discrete curvature called visual curvature for space curves. We can show that the visual curvature is an approximation of curvature for smooth curves.
