Passive control may not provide enough damping for a stay cable since the control devices are often restricted to a low location level. In order to enhance control performance of conventional passive dampers, a new type of damper integrated with a rotary electromagnetic damper providing variable damping force and a flywheel serving as an inertial mass, called the rotary electromagnetic inertial mass damper (REIMD), is presented for suppressing the cable vibrations in this paper. The mechanical model of the REIMD is theoretically derived according to generation mechanisms of the damping force and the inertial force, and further validated by performance tests. General dynamic characteristics of an idealized taut cable with a REIMD installed close to the cable end are theoretically investigated, and parametric analysis are then conducted to investigate the effects of inertial mass and damping coefficient on vibration control performance. Finally, vibration control tests on a scaled cable model with a REIMD are performed to further verify mitigation performance through the first two modal additional damping ratios of the cable. Both the theoretical and experimental results show that control performance of the cable with the REIMD are much better than those of conventional passive viscous dampers, which mainly attributes to the increment of the damper displacement due to the inertial mass induced negative stiffness effects of the REIMD. Moreover, it is concluded that both inertial mass and damping coefficient of an optimum REIMD will decrease with the increase of the mode order of the cable, and oversize inertial mass may lead to negative effect on the control performance.

Tungsten heavy alloys (W-Ni-Fe) play an important role in various industries because of their excellent mechanical properties, such as the excellent hardness of tungsten, low thermal expansion, corrosion resistance of nickel, and ductility of iron. In tungsten heavy alloys, tungsten nanoparticles allow the relatively low-temperature molding of high-melting-point tungsten and can improve densification. In this study, to improve the densification of tungsten heavy alloy, nanoparticles are manufactured by ultrasonic milling of metal oxide. The physical properties of the metal oxide and the solvent viscosity are selected as the main parameters. When the density is low and the Mohs hardness is high, the particle size distribution is relatively high. When the density is high and the Mohs hardness is low, the particle size distribution is relatively low. Additionally, the average particle size tends to decrease with increasing viscosity. Metal oxides prepared by ultrasonic milling in high-viscosity solvent show an average particle size of less than 300 nm based on the dynamic light scattering and scanning electron microscopy analysis. The effects of the physical properties of the metal oxide and the solvent viscosity on the pulverization are analyzed experimentally.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of waist mobilization technique intervention for patients with chronic back pain on balance and the low back pain disability index. Methods : The subjects were 30 patients with chronic back pain. They were sampled and divided into a manual therapy group and a spinal decompression group. 15 subjects were randomly assigned to each group. Each training in this study participated for 6 weeks, 5 times a week, once a day, 15 minutes a day. Balance ability was measured with a balance analyzer, and the low back pain disability index was measured using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Results : In the balance abilities, there was a significant difference in the manual therapy group compared to the spinal decompression group. In the low back pain disability index, there was a significant difference in the manual therapy group compared to the spinal decompression group. Conclusion : The analysis results of the effect of 6 weeks of waist mobilization technique intervention on the balance and low back pain disability index for patients with chronic back pain revealed that the manual therapy is more effective for static and dynamic balance ability and the low back pain disability index. In the future, we can promote independent life skills and expect a rapid recovery of patients with chronic back pain. Based on this study, further studies are needed on the effects of balance, the mechanical properties of muscle, and the low back pain disability index depending on various manual therapy techniques.

The solar air heater has various performances according to an obstacle installed in the air duct. Many studies on thermal performance have been conducted. But many of these studies were using a kind of rib type obstacle attached at the bottom of absorbing plate, but they are so hard to be manufactured. In this study, characteristics of the heat transfer and pressure drop in the solar air heater with various horizontal rectangular obstacles was investigated by CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis. As a result, the heat transfer performance was improved from 1.2 to 3.32 times depending on installation conditions of rectangular obstacle. The pressure drop, however, also increased with increment of heat transfer performance from 2.8 to 180 times only by changing installation conditions of rectangular obstacle. Thus, the performance factor presenting the thermal performance enhancement on the same pressure drop was also confirmed. As a result, the highest value of 0.828 as better performance factor was obtained at the lower height of rectangular obstacle and this value has started to decrease with increment of heat transfer performance. In the end, it could be confirmed that the pressure drop was carried higher than the quantity of improvement of the heat transfer performance when the heat transfer performance was increased by change of installation conditions of rectangular obstacle. Both heat transfer enhancement and pressure drop to be required for system need to be considered before the rectangular obstacles are applied to the solar air heater.

선박 거주구역에 화재발생 시 화재시뮬레이션 도구를 이용하여 화재확산형상을 실시간으로 예측하고 상황에 따른 적절한 대응방안을 제시할 수 있다면 화재사고로 인한 인명피해를 최소화시킬 수 있을 것으로 예상된다. 그러나 오늘날 화재시뮬레이션은 해석대상공간의 크기와 그리드 개수에 따라 해석을 하는데 있어, 매우 장시간을 필요로 하는 현실적 한계가 있다. 이에 이 연구에서는 화재시뮬레이션 시간단축을 목적으로 선박 거주구역 화재시뮬레이션에 적용할 수 있는 격자크기와 생성방법에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 연구결과 선박 거주구역에 적용되는 격자크기는 0.25[m] 이내의 값을 사용하는 것이 가장 효율적인 것으로 판단되었다. 또한 single mesh 격자생성방법으로 수행했을 경우와 비교하여, multi mesh 격자생성방법으로 시뮬레이션을 수행하였을 때 가시거리 값은 4.3 %, 온도 값은 8.3 % 이내에서 유사하고 해석시간은 약 80 % 감소하였기 때문에, multi mesh 방법으로 격자를 생성하는 것이 해석시간을 단축하는데 있어 매우 효과적임을 확인하였다.

Gas foil bearings (GFBs) enable small- to medium-sized turbomachinery to operate at ultra-high speeds in a compact design by using ambient air or process gas as a lubricant. When using air or process gas, which have lower viscosity than lubricant oil, the turbomachinery has the advantage of reduced power loss from bearing friction drag. However, GFBs may have high Reynolds number, which causes turbulent flows due to process gas with low viscosity and high density. This paper analyzes gas foil journal bearings (GFJBs) with high Reynolds numbers and studies the effects of turbulent flows on the static and dynamic performance of bearings. For comparison purposes, air and R-134a gas lubricants are applied to the GFJBs. For the air lubricant, turbulence is dominant only at rotor speeds higher than 200 krpm. At those speeds, the journal eccentricity decreases, but the film thickness, power loss, and direct stiffness and damping coefficients increase. On the other hand, the R-134a gas lubricant, which that has much higher density than air, causes dominant turbulence at rotor speeds greater than 10 krpm. The turbulent flow model predicts decreased journal eccentricity but increased film thickness and power loss when compared with the lamina flow model predictions. The vertical direct stiffness and damping coefficients are lower at speeds below 100 krpm, but higher beyond that speeds for the turbulent model. The present results indicate that turbulent flow effects should be considered for accurate performance predictions of GFJBs with high Reynolds number.

The rapid development of the automobile industry is an important factor that led to the dramatic development of synthetic rubber. The tread part of tire that comes in direct contact with the road surface is related to the service life of the tire. Rubber compounds used in tire treads are often blended with SBR (styrene-butadiene rubber) and BR (butadiene rubber) to satisfy physical property requirements. However, when two or more kinds of rubber are blended, phase separation and silica dispersion problems may occur due to non-uniform mixing of the rubber. Therefore, in this study, we synthesized an SBR copolymer with the same composition as that of a typical SBR/BR blend compound by controlling butadiene content during ESBR (emulsion styrene-butadiene rubber) synthesis. Subsequently, silica filled compounds were manufactured using the synthesized ESBR, and their mechanical properties, dynamic viscoelasticity, and crosslinking density were compared with those of the SBR/BR blended compound. When the content of butadiene was increased in the silica filled compound, the cure rate accelerated due to an increased number of allylic positions, which typically exhibit higher reactivity. However, the T-2 compound with increased butadiene content by synthesis less likely to show an increase in crosslink density due to poor silica dispersion. In addition, the T-3 compound containing high cis BR content showed high crosslink density due to its monosulfide crosslinking structure. Because of the phase separation, SBR/BR blend compounds were easily broken and showed similar $M_{100%}$ and $M_{300%}$ values as those of other compounds despite their high crosslink density. However, the developed blend showed excellent abrasion resistance due to the high cis-1,4 butadiene content and low rolling resistance due to the high crosslink density.

본 논문은 동력차에서 견인전동기 기진 주파수와 견인전동기 강체 모드 공진 문제로 인해 발생할 수 있는 현상에 대해 소개하고, 이를 제어하는데 효과적인 설계인자를 해석적으로 검토해보았다. 회전 속도가 변하는 회전기기의 경우, 공진 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 공진주파수 대역을 상용 운전 범위 바깥으로 이동시키거나 동강성을 크게 하는 등의 방법을 통하여 공진 응답이 낮아지도록 하는 방안이 있다. 견인전동기의 운전 범위는 일반적으로 0 r/min ~ 4800 r/min으로 대차모드가 이 운전 영역대를 벗어나게 설계하는 것은 현실적으로 불가능 하다. 따라서 공진 응답에 영향을 주는 설계 인자를 찾아 이를 적절하게 조정하여야 한다. 유한요소 해석 검토 결과, 견인전동기 강체모드 공진 응답에 영향을 주는 설계인자는 트랜섬파이프 간격으로 간격이 지나치게 넓게 설계될 경우 견인전동기 기진력과 강체 모드 간 공진 시 과도한 진동이 발생될 수 있음을 파악하였다.

마이크로니들은 약물전달 및 진단에 사용되는 미세바늘로 일반 주사와 달리 길이가 짧아 효과적으로 약물을 전달하는 한편 고통과 감염위험은 최소화시킬 수 있는 도구이다. 기존의 마이크로니들은 MEMS 기술을 기반으로 정밀하게 나노미터 수준으로 제작되었으나 장비와 유지비가 비싸고 공정이 복잡하여, 최근에는 3D 프린팅을 이용해 경제적이고 간단하며 신속하게 마이크로니들을 제작하는 연구가 진행 중이다. 3D 프린팅 기술은 프로토타입의 제작이 간단하고 수정 보완이 용이하기 때문에 마이크로니들 의약품 및 화장품의 상용화에 유리하다. 이에 본 총설은 SLA, 2PP, DLP, CLIP, FDM 3D 프린팅 기술에 대해 소개하고, 이를 이용한 마이크로니들 제작 연구동향에 대해 소개하고자 한다. 또한 현재 마이크로니들 기술의 한계점과 앞으로 해결해야 할 부분에 대해서 논해보고자 한다.
