This paper presents a cable-driven hydraulic actuator named Cable Rod Hydraulic Actuator (CRHA). The cable actuating system is attractive for designing a compact joint in robotic applications since it can be installed remotely from the joint. Recently, cable rods have been used in pneumatic area for inertia reduction. However, designing cable rods in hydraulics is challenging because it is difficult to achieve flexibility and endurance simultaneously under high pressure conditions. In this paper, the cable rod, which consists of a cable and jacket, is proposed to meet both requirements. To design the CRHA, we determined the design parameters, such as cylinder size, and selected the cable rod's material by friction and leakage test. Finally, comparisons experiments about step and frequency responses with conventional hydraulic actuators were performed to assess feasibility for robotic joints, and the results show that the proposed system has good bandwidth and fast response as robotic joints.

The power steering system has been adopted in most vehicle system for an easy maneuverability. In this paper, a hydraulic power steering(HPS) model for the computer simulation is developed and used to power steering simulation. The simulation shows that the steering wheel torque with HPS model is less than that without HPS model. In addition, the shimmy vibration at the steering wheel is also simulated and compared to the test data. The lateral displacement of the steering wheel is calculated by imposing the lateral acceleration of the knuckle as a vibration input. The frequency response of the steering wheel is in a good agreement to the test data.

지중 열교환 시스템은 지속적인 에너지 효율의 개선으로 공간 냉난방을 위한 친환경적 에너지 기술로 주목받고 있다. 지중에 매설된 파이프는 내부 유체 순환을 통하여 인접한 지반과 열적 상호작용으로부터 직접적인 열에너지 교환을 수행한다. 하지만, 파이프의 수치모델링에서 열-수리가 연관된 난류해석과 파이프의 긴 세장비에 의한 메쉬사이즈의 부적합성은 열교환 시스템의 적절한 수치해석을 어렵게 하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 파이프 내부 유체흐름에 대한 에너지 보존의 법칙을 적용하여 지배방정식을 유도하였으며, Galerkin수식화와 시간적분을 통하여 열-수리 연동일차원 파이프 요소를 개발하였다. 그리고 제안된 파이프 요소를 기 개발된 다공질 재료를 위한 열-수리-역학(Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical) 해석을 위한 유한요소 프로그램과 결합하였다. 개발된 요소를 이용한 수치해석 결과는 열응답 시험(Thermal Response Test) 결과로부터 주위지반의 유효 열전도도를 평가하기 위하여 사용하는 선형 열원 모델이 인접 파이프간의 열적상호작용과 파이프의 단부효과에 의하여 지반의 열전도도를 과다 평가하는 것으로 보여주었다. 따라서 열응답 시험 해석 결과에 대한 역해석을 적용하여 최적의 수렴성을 보여주는 변환행렬을 제시하였다.

The heat exchange between the Borehole Heat Exchanger(BHE) and the surrounding ground depends directly on ground thermal conductivity k at the certain site. The k is thus a key parameter in designing BHE and coupled geothermal heat pump systems. Currently, although a thermal hydraulic Response Test(TRT) is mostly used in practice, the thermal hydraulic TRT needs additional power and is generally time-consuming. A new, simple wireless probe for hi-speed k determination was introduced in this paper. This technique using a wireless probe is less time-consuming and requires no external source of energy for measurement and predicts local thermal properties by measuring soil temperatures along the depth. Measured temperature data along the depth was analyzed. As a result, the electronic wireless probe can replace the conventional hydraulic TRT method after carrying out the additional research on a lot of local heat flow, etc.

As part of the $AP1000^{TM}$ pressurized water reactor design certification program, a series of integral systems tests of the nuclear steam supply system was performed at the APEX-1000 test facility at Oregon State University. These tests provided data necessary to validate Westinghouse safety analysis computer codes for AP1000 applications. In addition, the tests provided the opportunity to investigate the thermal-hydraulic phenomena expected to be important in AP1000 small-break loss of coolant accidents (SBLOCAs). The APEX-1000 facility is a 1/4-scale pressure and 1/4-scale height simulation of the AP1000 nuclear steam supply system and passive safety features. A series of eleven tests was performed in the APEX-1000 facility as part of a U.S. Department of Energy contract. In all, four SBLOCA tests representing a spectrum of break sizes and locations were simulated along with tests to study specific phenomena of interest. The focus of this paper is the SBLOCA tests. The key thermal-hydraulic phenomena simulated in the APEX-1000 tests, and the performance and interactions of the passive safety-related systems that can be investigated through the APEX-1000 facility, are emphasized. The APEX-1000 tests demonstrate that the AP1000 passive safety-related systems successfully combine to provide a continuous removal of core decay heat and the reactor core remains covered with considerable margin for all small-break LOCA events.

Needs of fuel's performance evaluation for the dual-cooled fuel pellet (annular shape) necessitate the irradiation test in the test reactor. Irradiation test rig for the HARARO reactor, which is a special-purposed equipment used for material, irradiation and creep test, must satisfy the operational requirement on the hydraulic characteristics and structural integrity. In this paper, pressure drop and flow-induced vibration test for the newly developed non-instrumented test rig were carried out using FIVPET as a out-pile evaluation test. The test results show that the new test rig satisfy the HANARO operational requirement with sufficient margin. The spectral response characteristics of the flow-induced vibration of the test rid were also discussed.

This study was carried out to develop a continuously variable-speed transmission(CVT) for agricultural tractor. A full-toroidal CVT mechanism with four discs and six rollers was selected as a device for changing speed ratio continuously. In the step of system layout design, the sizes of roller cylinders and end-load cylinder, which were critical factors for controlling the variator, were designed. Also the control pressure range was designed to limit the contact pressure of variator. In order to make the maximum speed of vehicle as 30km/h, the planetary gear and the six pairs of gears were designed. Also the hydraulic clutch, silent chain, hydraulic manifold and electronic controller were designed. After the design, a prototype with CVT controller was developed and tested. The speed of vehicle was changed continuously to the speed set by driver and the settling time was about 0.52 second at the step-response test (reduction ratio of variator 2.0 to 1.0), which was acceptable as a response time for working with tractor.

In this study, the dynamic characteristics of a turbine-meter-type flowmeter is investigated by making use of the remote instantaneous flow rate measurement method (RIFM). The results of the frequency response test indicated that the gain of the flow rate of the turbine-meter-type flowmeter relative to the flow rate of the RIFM was nearly unity up to 40Hz and the phase lag of the flow rate became 90 degrees at 70Hz.
