Turbopump is typically an assembly of rotors and casings, and there are a number of joints between them. Every joint should be leak-proof, so there is always a seal to accomplish the goal. Among various seals, metal seals are advantageous in that they are robust at high pressure, and at wide range of temperature. On the other hand, they require very high tightening forces, so that flanges, bolts and nuts should be carefully designed to ensure structural integrity and to prevent detrimental yielding of components. In this study, flange joints using conical seals made of stainless steel, solid flat metal seals made of copper and metal C-seals made of Inconel 718 were structurally designed and analyzed, considering both initial tightening and operating conditions.

In the present study, a numerical investigation of an insert injection molding process was carried out for the development of thermoplastic microfluidic chip plates with metal electrodes. Insert injection molding technology enables efficient realization of a plastic-metal hybrid structure and various efforts have been undertaken to produce novel components in several application fields. The microfluidic chip with metal inserts was proposed as a representative example and its molding process was analyzed. The important characteristics of the filling stage, such as the effects of filling time and thickness of the part cavity, were characterized. Furthermore, the detailed distributions of pressure and temperature at the end of the filling stage were investigated, revealing the significance of metal insert temperature.

In this study, the residual stress and the acoustic emission Charactreistics from fatigue crack propagation were investigated, bused on the welded material of STS316L. The residual stress of welding locations could be evaluated by ultrasonic parameters, such as L$_{CR}$ wave velocity and L$_{CR}$ wave frequency； the residual stress between base metal and weld metal was evaluated. In the fatigue tests, three types of signals were observed, regardless of specimen condition, base metal, and weld metal. Based on NDE analysis of AE signals by the time-frequency analysis method, it should also be possible to evaluate, in real-time, the crack propagation and final fracture process, resulting from various damages and defects in welded structural members.

An efficient meshfree method based on a stabilized conforming nodal integration method is developed for elastoplastic contact analysis of metal forming processes. In this approach, strain smoothing stabilization is introduced to eliminate spatial instability in Galerkin meshfree methods when the weak form is integrated by a nodal integration. The gradient matrix associated with strain smoothing satisfies the integration constraint for linear exactness in the Galerkin approximation. Strain smoothing formulation and numerical procedures for path-dependent problems are introduced. Applications of metal forming analysis are presented, from which the computational efficiency has been improved significantly without loss of accuracy.

Rigid Plasticity Finite Element Analysis is developed for the shapes of dead metal zone and the curving velocity distribution in the eccentric square dies extrusion. The shape of dead metal zone is defined as the boundary surface with the maximum friction constant between the deformable zone and the rigid zone. The curving phenomenon in the eccentric square dies is caused by the eccentricity of square dies. The deviated velocity is changed with the distance form the center of cross-section of the workpiece. The results show that the curving of products and the shapes of the dead metal zone are determined by Rigid Plasticity Finite Element Analysis and that the curvature of the extruded products increases with the eccentricity.

Sheet metal forming is one of the most useful and important method in manufacturing of the autobody panels because of the excellent production rate. The objectives of sheet metal forming processes are getting a desired geometrical shape of products with good quality, low cost and reasonable lead time. In this paper, we examined the validity of finite element method analysis on the automobile FRT-PLR-L/R stamping process by using the lancing engineering method. Lancing is a press operation in which a single-line cut or slit is made on part way across the strip stock, without removing any metal. As a result, it has shown that the proper lancing engineering method could prevent fracturing by improving sheet metal flow.

The metal-supported SOFC has beed developed as a new concept of SOFC which has higher mechanical strength. However, the mass transfer rate in this type of SOFC may be decreased due to the contact layer and the support layer and that can cause the low performance. Therefore, numerical analysis of the heat and mass transfer characteristics in a metal-supported solid oxide fuel cell(SOFC) is studied in this paper. Governing equations and electrochemical equations are calculated simultaneously. And the numerical results are compared with the experimental results for the code validation. The current density, temperature, and pressure drop are suggested as numerical results.

In the present work, rigid-plastic continuum elements employing the shape change and anisotropic effects are derived for the purpose of applying more realistic blankholding force condition in three-dimensional finite element analysis of sheet metal forming process. In order to incorporate the effect of shape change effectively in the derivation of finite element equation using continuum element for sheet metal forming, the convected coordinate system is introduced, rendering the analysis more rigorous and accurate. The formulation is extended to cover the orthotropic material using Hill's quadratic yield function. For the purpose of applying more realistic blankholding force condition, distributed normal and associated frictional tangent forces are employed in the blankholder, which is pressed normal and associated frictional tangent forces are employed in the blankholder, which is pressed against the flange until the resultant contact force with the blank reaches the prescribed value. As an example of sheet metal forming process coupling the effect of planar anisotropy and that of blankholding boundary condition, circular cup deep drawing has been analyzed considering both effects together.

The characteristics of sheet metal process are little loss of material during process, the short processing time and the excellent price and strength. It has been widely used in autobody, electronic components, aircraftbody, etc. Lancing is a press operation in which a single-line cut or slit is made on part way across the strip stock, without removing any metal. In this paper, we examined the validity of finite element method analysis on the automobile CTR-PLR -L/R stamping process by using the lancing engineering method. As a result, it has shown that the proper lancing engineering method could prevent fracturing by improving sheet metal flow.
