In this study, the electrorheological (ER) fluid was used as finishing agent. Since the apparent viscosity can be controlled by an electric field, the ER fluid can be one of efficient materials in finishing processes. To finish small 3-dimensional structures such as the aspherical surface in optical elements, the possible arrangement of a tool, part and auxiliary electrode was described. We examined the influence of the addition of a few abrasive particles on the performance of the ER fluid by measuring yield stress and observed the behavior of abrasive particles in the ER fluid by a CCD camera, which had been also theoretically predicted from the electromechanical principles of particles. On the basis of the above results, the steady flow analysis around the rotating micro tool was performed considering the non-uniform electric field. Finally, borosilicate glass was finished using the mixture of the ER fluid and abrasive particles and material removal with field strength and surface roughness were investigated.

The ER fluid can be one of efficient materials in ultraprecision polishing for optics, ceramics and semiconductors because of electrically controllable apparent viscosity. To finish small 3 dimensional structures such as the aspherical surface in optical elements, the possible arrangement of a tool, workpiece and auxiliary electrode is described. We examined the influence of the addition of a few abrasive particles on the performance of the ER fluid by measuring yield stress, and observed the behavior of abrasive particles in the ER fluid by a CCD camera, which is also theoretically predicted from the electromechanical principles of particles. On the basis of the above results, the steady flow analysis around the rotating micro tool is worked out considering the non-uniform electric field. Finally, Pyrex glass is polished using the mixture of the ER fluid and abrasive particles, and the effect of the electric field strength is evaluated.

This article presents a study of the largest-ever (height = 220 m) cooling tower using the large eddy simulation (LES) method. Information about fluid fields around the tower and 3D aerodynamic time history in full construction process were obtained, and the wind pressure distribution along the entire tower predicted by the developed model was compared with standard curves and measured curves to validate the effectiveness of the simulating method. Based on that, average wind pressure distribution and characteristics of fluid fields in the construction process of ultra-large cooling tower were investigated. The characteristics of fluid fields in full construction process and their working principles were investigated based on wind speeds and vorticities under different construction conditions. Then, time domain characteristics of ultra-large cooling towers in full construction process, including fluctuating wind loads, extreme wind loads, lift and drag coefficients, and relationship of measuring points, were studied and fitting formula of extreme wind load as a function of height was developed based on the nonlinear least square method. Additionally, the frequency domain characteristics of wind loads on the constructing tower, including wind pressure power spectrum at typical measuring points, lift and drag power spectrum, circumferential correlations between typical measuring points, and vertical correlations of lift coefficient and drag coefficient, were analyzed. The results revealed that the random characteristics of fluctuating wind loads, as well as corresponding extreme wind pressure and power spectra curves, varied significantly and in real time with the height of the constructing tower. This study provides references for design of wind loads during construction period of ultra-large cooling towers.

Recently, some fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems involving the fluid impact loads interacting with structures, such as sloshing, slamming, green-water, etc., have been considered, especially in the ocean engineering field. The governing equations for both an elastic solid model and flow model were originally derived from similar continuum mechanics principles. In this study, an elastic model based on a particle method, the MPS method, was developed for simulating the FSI problems. The developed model was first applied to a simple cantilever deflection problem for verification. Then, the model was coupled with the fluid flow model, the PNU (Pusan National University modified)-MPS method, and applied to the numerical investigation of the coupling effects between a cantilever and a mass of water, which has variable density, free-falling to the end of the cantilever.

전단파는 흙 입자의 강성과 밀도에 연관된다. 흡 입자의 전단 강성은 물의 존재 여부에 영향을 받지 않는다. 벤더 엘리먼트는 흙과 트랜스듀서 간의 뛰어난 결합 효과를 보여 토질 시험 장치에 적용하기에 편리한 전단파 트랜스듀서이다. 본 논문은 전단파의 기본 원리를 살펴본 뒤, 전자기 커플링 방지, 지향성(directivity), 공진주파수, 초동 추정, 근접장 효과 등을 포함하여 벤더 엘리먼트의 설계와 설치에 대하여 다루었다. 전해질 용액 속에서의 전기적 간섭(cross-talk)현상은 병렬 타입의 벤더 엘리먼트를 사용함으로써 최소화할 수 있다. 캔틸레버 보 형식의 벤더 엘리먼트는 전단파의 지향성은 원형에 가깝게 나타났다. 벤더 엘리먼트의 공진주파수는 벤더 엘리먼트 자체의 특성, 흡의강성 및 엥커 특성에 의존적인 것으로 나타났다. 벤더 엘리멘트 시험에서 가장 어려운 부분 중의 하나는 전단파의 도착시간에 영향을 주는 근접장 효과이다. 근접장 내에서 전단파의 도착시간 산정은 다중반사법(multiple reflection method)과 signal matching 기술을 적용하여 해결할 수 있다. 여러 가지 고려사항이 요구되는 벤더 엘리먼트는 전단파를 이용한 지반 동적 특성 파악에 매우 효과적인 방법이 될 수 있을 것이다.

The behavior of the work materials in the chip-tool interface in extremely high strain rates and temperatures is more that of viscous liquids than that of normal solid metals. In these circumstances the principles of fluid mechanics can be invoked to describe the metal flow in the neighborhood of the cutting edge. In the present paper an Eulerian finite element model is presented that simulates metal flow in the vicinity of the cutting edge when machining a low carbon steel with carbide cutting tool. The work material is assumed to obey visco-plastic (Bingham solid) constitutive law and Von Mises criterion. Heat generation is included in the model, assuming adiabatic conditions within each element. the mechanical and thermal properties of the work material are accepted to vary with the temperature. The model is based on the virtual work-stream function formulation, emphasis is given on analyzing the formation of the stagnant metal zone ahead of the cutting edge. The model predicts flow field characteristics such as material velocity effective stress and strain-rate distributions as well as built-up layer configuration

Due to global warming, the need to secure an alternative resource has become more important nationally. Due to the high tidal range of up to 9.7m on the west coast of Korea, numerous tidal current projects are being planned and constructed. The rotor, which initially converts the energy, is a very important component because it affects the efficiency of the entire system, and its performance is determined by various design variables. In this paper, a design guideline of current generating HAT rotor and acceptable field rotor in offshore environment is proposed. To design HAT rotor model, wind mill rotor design principles and turbine theories were applied based on a field HAT rotor experimental data. To verify the compatibility of the rotor design method and to analyze the properties of design factors, 3D CFD model was designed and analysed by ANSYS CFX. The analysis results and findings are summarized in the paper.

Refrigeration plants using absorption principles have been around for many years with initial development taking place over 100 years ago. Although the majority of absorption cycles are based on water-LiBr cycle, many applications exist where ammonia-water can be used, especially where lower temperatures are desirable. In both systems water is used as working fluid, but in quite different ways: as a solvent for the ammonia system, and as refrigerant for the lithium bromide system. This explains that the lithium bromide absorption system is strictly limited to evaporation temperatures above $0^{\circ}C$. The main industrial applications for refrigeration are in the temperature range below $0^{\circ}C$, the field for the binary system ammonia-water.
