Nano-indentation and nano-scratch tests were peformed to assess the mechanical and tribological properties of the coating on a commercially available thin-film magnetic recording disk. Surface topography and roughness of the disk was studied using atomic force microscopy. The hardness and elastic modulus data show a peak at an indentation depth equivalent to the thickness of carbon overcoat, indicating strong influence of the coatin $g_strate interaction and the coating surface roughness on the measurements. The variations of surface roughness data were analysed statistically based on the normal probability distribution theories and Weibull cumulative probability theories.es.

A study was conducted on the effects of carbon, tungsten, and vanadium on the wear properties and surface roughness of four High Speed Steel (HSS) rolls manufactured by the centrifugal casting method. Hot-rolling simulation tests were carried out using a high-temperature wear tester capable of controlling speed, load, and temperature. HSS rolls contained a large amount (up to 25 vol.%) of carbides such as MC, $M_{2}C$, $M_{7}C_{3}$, and $M_{6}C$ carbides formed in the tempered martensite matrix. The matrix consisted mainly of lath tempered martensite when the carbon content in the matrix was small, and contained a considerable amount of plate tempered martensite when the carbon content increased. The high-temperature wear test results indicated that the wear properties and surface roughness of the rolls improved when the amount of hard MC carbides formed inside solidification cells increased. The rolls distribution was also homogeneous. The best wear properties and surface roughness were obtained from a roll where a large amount of MC carbides was homogeneously distributed in the lath tempered martensite matrix. The proper contents of carbon equivalent, tungsten equivalent, and vanadium were 2.0~2.3%, 9~10%, and 5~6%, respectively.

In the process of turbine modernizations, the investigation of the influences of water passage roughness on radial flow machine performance is crucial and validates the efficiency step up between reduced scale model and prototype. This study presents the specific losses per component of a Francis turbine, which are estimated by CFD simulation. Simulations are performed for different water passage surface roughness heights, which represents the equivalent sand grain roughness height. As a result, the boundary layer logarithmic velocity profile still exists for rough walls, but moves closer to the wall. Consequently, the wall friction depends not only on roughness height but also on its shape and distribution. The specific losses are determined by CFD numerical simulations for each component of the prototype, taking into account its own specific sand grain roughness height. The model efficiency step up between reduced scale model and prototype value is finally computed by the assessment of specific losses on prototype and by evaluating specific losses for a reduced scale model with smooth walls. Furthermore, surveys of rough walls of each component were performed during the geometry recovery on the prototype and comparisons are made with experimental data from the EPFL Laboratory for Hydraulic Machines reduced scale model measurements. This study underlines that if rough walls are considered, the CFD approach estimates well the local friction loss coefficient. It is clear that by considering sand grain roughness heights in CFD simulations, its forms a significant part of the global performance estimation. The availability of the efficiency field measurements provides an unique opportunity to assess the CFD method in view of a systematic approach for turbine modernization step up evaluation. Moreover, this paper states that CFD is a very promising tool for future evaluation of turbine performance transposition from the scale model to the prototype.

Performance assessment of pavements proves useful, in terms of handling the ride quality, controlling the travel time of vehicles and adequate maintenance of pavements. Roughness profiles provide a good measure of the deteriorating condition of the pavement. For the accurate estimates of pavement roughness from dynamic vehicle responses, vehicle parameters should be known accurately. Information on vehicle parameters is uncertain, due to the wear and tear over time. Hence, condition monitoring of pavement requires the identification of pavement roughness along with vehicle parameters. The present study proposes a scheme which estimates the roughness profile of the pavement with the use of accurate estimates of vehicle parameters computed in parallel. Pavement model used in this study is a two-layer Euler-Bernoulli beam resting on a nonlinear Pasternak foundation. The asphalt topping of the pavement in the top layer is modeled as viscoelastic, and the base course bottom layer is modeled as elastic. The viscoelastic response of the top layer is modeled with the help of the Burgers model. The vehicle model considered in this study is a half car model, fitted with accelerometers at specified points. The identification of the coupled system of vehicle-pavement interaction employs a coupled scheme of an unbiased minimum variance estimator and an optimization scheme. The partitioning of observed noisy quantities to be used in the two schemes is investigated in detail before the analysis. The unbiased minimum variance estimator (MVE) make use of a linear state-space formulation including roughness, to overcome the linearization difficulties as in conventional nonlinear filters. MVE gives estimates for the unknown input and fed into the optimization scheme to yield estimates of vehicle parameters. The issue of ill-posedness of the problem is dealt with by introducing a regularization equivalent term in the objective function, specifically where a large number of parameters are to be estimated. Effect of different objective functions is also studied. The outcome of this research is an overall measure of pavement condition.

불규칙파에 의한 연안류를 수치모형으로 해석하였으며, 수치모형에 사용되는 제 경험식들을 개선하였다. 불규칙파의 쇄파조건으로 Kitaigorodskii의 평형조건식을 수정하여 사용하였으며, 실제 해저면에서의 마찰력을 계산하기 위하여 연흔의 생성과 형상에 따른 조고의 증가와 토사가 이동할 때 발생하는 에너지 손실을 고려한 조고의 증가를 동시에 고려하였다. 연흔 형상 산정식으로 Nielsen 식과 Madsen-Rogengaus 식을 사용하였는데, 연흔형상에 대한 두 식의 산정결과는 비슷하나 등가조고 산정에 도입되는 비례상수의 수치가 달라 추정된 등가조고에는 상당한 차이를 보이고 있다. 난류에너지식과 확산길이식에 사용되는 경험상수를 최적화 기법으로 결정하였으며, 이를 이용하여 불규칙파에 의한 연안류를 예측하였다.

Numerical and experimental investigations were conducted to assess the aerodynamic performance of several centrifugal compressors. In order to impose an appropriate physics at the interface between impeller and vaned diffuser numerically, two different techniques, frozen rotor and stage models, were applied and the simulation results were compared with the corresponding prototype test data. An equivalent sand-grain roughness height was utilized in the present computational study to consider a relative surface roughness effect on the stage performance simulated. From a series of investigations, it was found that the stage model is more suitable than the frozen rotor scheme for the steady interactions between impeller and diffuser in turbocompressor applications. It is supposed that the solution by frozen rotor scheme is inclined to overrate the non-uniformity of the flow fields. The predicted aerodynamic performance accounting for surface roughness effect shows favorable agreement with experimental data. Simulations based on the aerodynamically smooth surface assumption tend to overestimate the stage performance.

실무적 목적으로 횡방향으로 흐름저항 요소가 변화하는 단면에서는 단면전체의 저항을 반영할 수 있는 복합 조도계수를 산정함으로써 개수로 흐름해석에 사용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 복합 조도계수 산정식을 가중치 부여방법에 따라 구분하고, 최적의 복합 조도계수 값을 산정하기 위하여 각 소단면 내에서 힘의 균형을 고려한 단면분할기법을 개발하였다. Djajadi (2009)와 Knight and Macdonald (1979)의 수리실험에 의한 실측 복합 조도계수와 비교함으로써 개발된 단면분할기법의 정확성과 타당성을 검증하였으며, 더불어 기존 13개 복합 조도계수 산정식들의 한계 및 적용성을 분석하였다. 분석결과, 대표적인 복합 조도계수 산정식인 Horton 방법은 단면의 통수능을 과소평가할 수 있으며, Lotter 방법은 실측치와 잘 일치하는 결과를 제공할 수 있으나, 선행조건으로 본 연구에서 제안된 Z-method에 근거한 방법처럼 적합한 단면분할방법이 사용되어야 함을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구는 하상마찰의 척도인 등가조고를 이용하여 자갈하천의 하상저항을 산정하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 국내 8개 자갈하천에서 실측을 통하여 마찰계수 f를 산정하였고, 하상재료의 누가입경분포를 조사하였으며, 각 단면의 실측 마찰계수를 나타내기 위하여 대수 연직유속분포를 가정하여 계산된 평균 등가조고와 누가입경분포를 이용하여 계산된 구간 등가조고를 비교하였다. 더불어 등가조고를 사용하여 계산된 Manning 계수를 Strickler 유형의 기존 경험식에 의한 Manning 계수와 비교함으로써, 국내 자갈하천에서 기존 경험식을 이용한 하상저항 산정의 적용성을 검토하였다. 분석결과, 구간 등가조고가 대상구간의 하상특성을 대표할 수 있음을 확인하였고, 구간 등가조고로 계산된 Manning 계수가 실측 자료로부터 계산된 Manning 계수와 비교하여 RMS 오차가 0.003이하로 계산되어 실무 적용에 타당할 것으로 판된되었다. 또한 실제 하천에서 등가조고 $k_s$와 특정입경 $D_i$과의 비례계수 사이의 상관성이 적은 것으로 나타나, 하상 특정입경을 사용하여 Manning 계수를 산정하는 기존 경험식을 적용할 때 적절한 방정식의 선택에 어려움이 있을 것으로 판단된다.

As tools for machining precision components, end mills and ball end mills are widely used. For the end mills have longer cylindrical shape comparing diameter, liable to deflect and induce deterioration of surface roughness. Tool geometry parameters and cutting process have complex relations with each other. So, It is hard to determine hew to select optimal tool geometry. So, to improve the stiffness, relationship between cutting process and tool geometry must be studied. In this study, relations between grinding wheel geometry, setting condition and tool geometry are revealed. For the purpose of studying relations between each parameter, the equivalent diameter of tool has been calculated assuming tool as a simple beam. By the various cutting simulations and experiments, tool geometry and cutting process has been studied.

Kriging is a nonparametric regression method used in geostatistics for estimating curves and surfaces for spatial data. It may come as a surprise that the Kriging estimator, normally derived as the best linear unbiased estimator, is also the solution of a particular variational problem. Thus, Kriging estimators can also be interpreted as generalized smoothing splines where the roughness penalty is determined by the covariance function of a spatial process. We build off the early work by Silverman (1982, 1984) and the analysis by Cox (1983, 1984), Messer (1991), Messer and Goldstein (1993) and others and develop an equivalent kernel interpretation of geostatistical estimators. Given this connection we show how a given covariance function influences the bias and variance of the Kriging estimate as well as the mean squared prediction error. Some specific asymptotic results are given in one dimension for Matern covariances that have as their limit cubic smoothing splines.
