This paper proposes a method for determining optimal EDM parameters based on discharge area from the physical model of a tool electrode. Main parameters, which affect the EDM performance, are peak value of currents, pulse-on time, and pulse-off time. Such parameters are closely dependent on the discharge area in EDM process. In this paper the discharge area is estimated from the CMM scanning data to the tool electrode. The method is very useful when any geometric information to the tool electrode is not provided from tool modeler or producer. The method consists of following four steps. First a triangulation mesh is constructed from the CMM data. Secondly, the z-map is modeled from the triangulated mesh. Thirdly, the discharge area is estimated from intersection between the z-map model and a z-height plane. Finally, the machining parameters are easily calculated by some known EDM equations to the discharge area. An example is introduced to show that the machining parameters are calculated from the CMM data to a tool electrode.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to apply a newly developed free software program, at low cost and with minimal time, to evaluate the quality of dental and maxillofacial cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Materials and Methods: A polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) phantom, CQP-IFBA, was scanned in 3 CBCT units with 7 protocols. A macro program was developed, using the free software ImageJ, to automatically evaluate the image quality parameters. The image quality evaluation was based on 8 parameters: uniformity, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), noise, the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), spatial resolution, the artifact index, geometric accuracy, and low-contrast resolution. Results: The image uniformity and noise depended on the protocol that was applied. Regarding the CNR, high-density structures were more sensitive to the effect of scanning parameters. There were no significant differences between SNR and CNR in centered and peripheral objects. The geometric accuracy assessment showed that all the distance measurements were lower than the real values. Low-contrast resolution was influenced by the scanning parameters, and the 1-mm rod present in the phantom was not depicted in any of the 3 CBCT units. Smaller voxel sizes presented higher spatial resolution. There were no significant differences among the protocols regarding artifact presence. Conclusion: This software package provided a fast, low-cost, and feasible method for the evaluation of image quality parameters in CBCT.

수문학(水文學) 해석(解析)에 있어서 기본자료로 사용되는 유역의 하천(河川) 형태학적(形態學的) 특성(特性)은 매우 다양하고 광범위하다. 지금까지의 하천형태학적 특성의 추출 방법은 수작업(手作業)에 의존하는 전통적 방법이어서 많은 시간과 경비가 필요하였다. 최근들어 컴퓨터 및 주변기기의 발달로 지형과 밀접한 관련이 있는 수문학에 GIS가 도입되어 유역과 유출분석을 위한 응용연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 GIS를 활용하여 국제수문개발계획(國際水文開發計劃(IHP))의 대표유역(代表流域)인 남한강(南漢江)의 평창강류역(平昌江流域)을 대상으로 GIS를 활용한 공간분석(空間分析)을 시도 하므로써 수문학적으로 참고가 되는 하천 형태학적 특성을 추출하고 수작업에 의한 결과와 비교하여 GIS의 적용 타당성을 검토하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 평창강유역을 포함하는 1:50,000 지형도(地形圖) 4도엽을 스캐닝하고 백터라이징하여 DEM을 생성하였고 이것을 ARC/INFO의 GRID 모듈을 이용하여 유역경계를 추출하였다. 또한 추출된 자료로부터 지표 유출량 산정을 위한 유역의 하천 형태학적 특성 인자들을 정량화하여 기존의 자료들과 비교 검토하였다.

Drilling process is one of the most common, yet complex operations among manufacturing processes. The performance of a drill is largely dependent upon drilling forces. Many researches focused on the effects of drill parameters on drilling forces. In this paper, the stresses occurring in drilling process are analyzed by finite element method. The analytic drilling forces considering the drill parameters and drilling conditions are used. Also, with ANSYS, geometric modeling and mesh generation of drill is performed automatically. From the study, optimal drill design and drilling condition determination may be achieved.

In this paper, we constructed the analytic model of control valve as a function of electric and geometric parameters, and analyzed the influence of the design parameters on the dynamic characteristics. For improving the dynamic characteristics, optimal design is conducted by applying sequential quadratic programming method to the analytic model. This optimal design aims to minimize the response time and maximize force efficiency. By this procedure, control valve can be designed to have fast response in motion.

We persent a method for kinematic calibration of open chain mechanisms based on the product of exponentials (POE) formula. The POE formula represents the forward kinematics of an open chain as a product of matrix exponentials, and is based on a modern geometric interpretation of classical screw theory. Unlike the kinematic parameters in the POE formula vary smoothly with changes in the joint axes;ad hoc methods designed to address the inherent singularities in the D-H parameters are therefore are therefore unnecessary. After introducing the POE formula, we derive a least-squares kinematic calibration algorithm for general open chain mechanisms. Simulation results with a 6-axis open chain are presented.

A geometric interpretation of t-designs, in the context of posets, is given in the association scheme, not isomorphic with the Hamming scheme H(2,4), but having the same parameters as H(2,4). It is also shown that there is no similar poset which characterizes the designs for ally of the three exceptional association schemes, not isomorphic with the Johnson scheme J(8,2), but having the same parameters as J(8,2).

The choice of design parameters for a robot arm depends on the desired workspace, load lifting capacity, application requirements, and the performance of the robot. The inverse process, which is the determination of a single robot's workspace for a given specification is also a common practice and is as important to the designers as it is to the users. Based on the geometric influence coefficients, the workspace areas on the vertical Y-Z plane are investigated and calculated. Using these areas, the effects of link parameters, link length ratios and joint rotation angles, are investigated.

A novel method for 3-dimensional dynamic analysis of marine slender structure gas been developed by using Euler parameters. The Euler parameter rotation, which is being widely used in aerospace vehicle dynamics and multi-body dynamics, has been applied to elastic structure analysis. Large deformation of flexible slender structures is described by means of Euler parameters. Euler parameter method is implemented effectively in incremental-iterative algorithm for 3D dynamic analysis. The normalization constraint of Euler parameters is efficiently satisfied by means of a sequential updating method.
