The ohmic contact behavior in HEMT structure was compared with that in MESFET one throughout the specific contact resistance and microstructural change in both structures. A Au-Ge-Ni based metallization scheme was used and the alloying temperature of the ohmic materials was changed from 330\ulcorner to 550\ulcorner. The alloying temperature to obtain the minimum specific contact resistance in HEMT structure was 60k higher than that in MESFET. The volume fraction of NiAs (Ge) in MESFET structure increases with alloying temperature and/or the alloying time, which makes the decrease of specific contact resistance at the initial stage of ohmic metallization. In contrast, the volume fraction of NiAs(Ge) in HEMT structure was not dependent upon the specific contact resistance, which implies that the ohmic contacts are dominantly formed by the Ge diffusion to 2-DEG(two dimensional electron gas) layer.

The contact surfaces between mold and target should be in parallel for a proper imprinting process. However, large size of contacting area makes it difficult for both mating surfaces (mold and target planes) to be in all uniform contact with the expected precision level in terms of thickness and position. This is caused by the waviness of mold and target although it is very small relative to the area scale. The gripping force for both mold and target by the vacuum chuck is other major effect to interrupt the uniform contact, which must be avoided in imprinting mechanism. In this study, the cause of non-conformal contact mechanism between mold and target is investigated with the consideration of deformation due to the vacuum gripping for the size $470{\times}370\;mm^2$ LCD panel.

In this study, the methodology for determination of shoulder height in the internal shape design of ball bearing using 3D contact analysis is proposed. The static analysis of a ball bearing was performed to calculate the distribution of applied contact load and angles among the rolling elements. From each rolling element loads and the contact geometry between ball and inner/outer raceway, 3D contact analyses using influence function are conducted. These methodology is applied to HDD ball bearing. A critical axial load and a critical shoulder height which are not affected by edge are calculated. The proposed methodology may be applied to other rolling element bearing for the purpose of reducing the material cost and improving the efficiency of the bearing design process.

In this study, we developed an automated non-contact thickness measurement machine that continuously and precisely measures the thickness and warp of a PCB product using a laser sensor. The system contains a measurement part to measure the thickness in real time automatically according to the set conditions with an alignment supply unit and unloading unit to separate OK and NG products. The measurement machine was utilized to evaluate the performance at each step to minimize measurement error. At the zero setting for the initial setup, the standard deviation of the 216 samples was determined to be $5.52{\mu}m$. A measurement error of 0.5mm and 1.0mm as a standard sample in the measurement accuracy assessment was found to be 2.48% and 2.28%, respectively. In the factory acceptance test, the standard deviation of 1.461mm PCB was measured as $28.99{\mu}m$, with a $C_{pk}$ of 1.2. The automatic thickness measurement machine developed in this study can contribute to productivity and quality improvement in the mass production process.

In this paper, we present the methods to predict the milled surface shapes in profile milling process. In the cutting process, tools are deflected due to the cutting forces varying with the imposed depth of cut and feedrate. Thus, the final shapes of the milled surface, generated by the nominal tool trajectory, are different from the required profile. In order to predict the milled surface shapes, we present two methods based on: (1) the deflected tool profile and (2) the trace of contact point between the tool and the workpiece. In the first method, we make an assumption that the milled surface corresponds to the deflected tool profile. In another method, we make we make an assumption that the milled surface is generated by the trace of the contact point between the cutting edge of the tool and workpiece. We present the surface generation process by calculating the trajectory of the contact points on the workpiece. Several simulations and experiments are performed to verify the proposed milled surface prediction methods.

Since electric connectors such as power connectors have a small assembly tolerance and have a complex shape, the assembly process is performed manually by workers. Especially, it is difficult to overcome the assembly error, and the assembly takes a long time due to the error correction process, which makes it difficult to automate the assembly task. To deal with this problem, a reinforcement learning-based assembly strategy using contact states was proposed to quickly perform the assembly process in an unstructured environment. This method learns to generate a search trajectory to quickly find a hole based on the contact state obtained from the force/torque data. It can also learn the stiffness needed to avoid excessive contact forces during assembly. To verify this proposed method, power connector assembly process was performed 200 times, and it was shown to have an assembly success rate of 100% in a translation error within ±4 mm and a rotation error within ±3.5°. Furthermore, it was verified that the assembly time was about 2.3 sec, including the search time of about 1 sec, which is faster than the previous methods.

In the automation of rigid parts mating process with the intelligent robots, Peg-In-Hole is the most available task since inserting is some analytic and needs suitable range of forces that can be controlled by induatrial manipulators. In this Peg-In-Hole process, it is very important to identify the contact state between tow parts, peg and hole, to build the strategies for robot motion that leads to avoid the jamming condition occurs during insertion process. In this paper, we adpopted 3 parameters for identification, lFzl, lFxy/Fzl, and lMxy/Fxyl, derived from axes value of Whitney's jamming diagram. Also, we defined the fuzzy membership functions for these parameters and developed the identification algorithm based on fuzzy inference method of max-product. As an experimental result, we obtained about 96% of identification ratio that could be raised up to industrial requirements by further research.

Railway wheels and axles belong to the most critical components in railway vehicles. The service conditions of railway vehicles became more severe in recent years due to the increase of speed. Therefore, a more precise evaluation of wheelset life and safety has been requested. Wheel/rail contact fatigue and thermal cracks due to braking heat are two main mechanisms of the railway wheel failure. In this paper, an evaluation procedure for the contact fatigue life of railway wheel is proposed. One of the main sources of the contact zone failure is the residual stress. The residual stress on wheel is formed during the manufacturing process which includes a heat treatment, and then is changed by contact stress developed by wheel/rail contact and thermal stress induced by braking. Also, the cyclic stress history for fatigue analysis is determined by applying finite elements analysis for the moving contact load. The objective of this paper is to estimate fatigue life by considering residual stress due to heat treatment, braking and repeated contact load, respectively.

In a web winding process, the contact roll plays many important roles including air-entrainment control and WIT(Wound In Tension) regulation. The behavior of contact roll significantly affects the winding tension characteristics specifically at the time of contact when the speeds of contact roll and the winding roll are not synchronized. A mathematical model for the web, the winding roll, and the contact roll is derived. By using the model derived, a nonlinear PID(NPID) controller is designed to control the winding tension at the time of contact and separation between the contact roll and the winding roll. Computer simulation study showed that the performance of the winding system with the NPID controller significantly improved compared with that of a system with PID controller.

동절기 전차선의 서리와 결빙은 매우 심각한 문제를 발생시킬 수 있다. 팬터그래프의 집진 스트립의 기계적 표면과 전차선 사이에 서리 또는 결빙으로 인한 아크가 발생하게 된다. 이에 따른 전기적 저항은 팬터그래프와 전차선 사이의 전류의 풀질을 감소시킨다. 해빙시스템은 통절기 전차선의 서리와 결빙을 녹이는 역할을 한다. 해빙시스템의 원리는 전차선의 임피던스의 Joule열을 이용하여 서리와 결빙을 제거하는 것이므로 전차선의 온도는 인가전류가 증가할수록 증가하였으며, 풍속이 증가할수록 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다.
