Objective: The objectives of this study were to evaluate linear and volumetric alveolar changes induced by nasoalveolar molding (NAM) in infants with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and compare the maxillary dimensions after NAM with the normal dimensions in infants without clefts. Methods: A total of 26 infants with UCLP treated by NAM (mean age before and after NAM: $14.20{\pm}8.09days$ and $118.16{\pm}10.06days$, respectively) comprised the treatment group, while 26 infants without clefts (mean age: $115.81{\pm}8.71days$) comprised the control group. Changes in the maxillary dimensions following NAM were measured on three-dimensional models using Mimics software, version 17.0. Results: During NAM, there was a decrease in the cleft widths, maxillary arch depths, and rotation of the greater segment. While the anterior alveolar arch width exhibited a significant decrease, the posterior arch width was mostly maintained. There were no changes in the anterior vertical deviations of the alveolar segments. The alveolar crest lengths, arch circumference, and bilateral posterior volumetric measures exhibited an increase. After NAM, the anterior arch width was comparable between the treatment and control groups, whereas the posterior arch width and anterior vertical deviations were greater in the treatment group than in the control group. The maxillary arch depths, alveolar crest lengths, and maxillary volumes were smaller in the NAM group than in the control group. Conclusions: During NAM in infants with UCLP, the cleft width and anteroposterior and transverse alveolar dimensions exhibited a decrease while the vertical dimensions were maintained. Compared with infants without clefts, those with UCLP treated by NAM exhibited sagittal and vertical alveolar growth deficiencies and tissue insufficiency.

The purpose of the cover housing component of a car door is to protect the terminals of the plug housing that connects the electric control unit on the door side to the car body. Therefore, for a smooth assembly with the plug housing and to prevent contaminants from penetrating into the gaps that occur after assembly, the warpage of the cover housing should be minimized. In this study, to minimize the warpage of the cover housing, optimization was performed for design factors related to the mold and processes based on the injection molding simulation. These design factors include gate location, gate diameter, injection time, resin temperature, mold temperature, and packing pressure. To optimize the design factors, Taguchi's approach to the design of experiments was adopted. The optimal combination of the design factors and levels that minimize warpage was predicted through L₁₈-orthogonal array experiments and main effects analysis. Moreover, the warpage under the optimal design was estimated by the additive model, and it was confirmed through the simulation experiment that the estimated result was quite consistent with the experimental result. Additionally, it was found that the warpage under the optimal design was significantly improved compared to both the warpage under the initial design and the best warpage among the orthogonal array experimental results, which numerically decreased by 36.9% and 23.4%, respectively.

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are attracting attention because of their excellent properties and functions; however, they are relatively expensive compared with commercial alloys. Therefore, various efforts have been made to reduce the cost of raw materials. In this study, MIM is attempted using coarse equiatomic CoCrFeMnNi HEA powders. The mixing ratio (powder:binder) for HEA feedstock preparation is explored using torque rheometer. The block-shaped green parts are fabricated through a metal injection molding process using feedstock. The thermal debinding conditions are explored by thermogravimetric analysis, and solvent and thermal debinding are performed. It is densified under various sintering conditions considering the melting point of the HEA. The final product, which contains a small amount of non-FCC phase, is manufactured at a sintering temperature of 1250℃.

A Light Emitting Diode(LED) is a semiconductor device which converts electricity into light. LEDs are widely used in a field of illumination, LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) backlight, mobile signals because they have several merits, such as low power consumption, long lifetime, high brightness, fast response, environment friendly. In general, LEDs production does die bonding and wire bonding on board, and do silicon and phosphor dispensing to protect LED chip and improve brightness. Then lens molding process is performed using mixed liquid silicon rubber(LSR) by resin and hardener. A mixture of resin and hardener affect the optical characteristics of the LED lens. In this paper, computational design of static mixer was performed for mixing of liquid silicon. To evaluate characteristic of mixing efficiency, finite element model of static mixer was generated, and fluidic analysis was performed according to length of mixing element. Finally, optimal condition of length of mixing element was applied to static mixer from result of fluidic analysis.

사출금형은 일반적으로 다수개의 부품을 조립하여 제작되며, 특히 성형부(Core/Cavity)가 금형 형판 내부에 조립되는 구조를 갖는다. 이러한 구조로 인해 금형 조립부 경계면에서는 열접촉 저항이 발생하여 금형 내부의 열전달 특성에 영향을 미치게 된다. 최근 금형의 열접촉 저항이 성형부의 온도분포에 미치는 영향을 수치적으로 예측하기 위한 선행연구가 수행되었으며, 본 연구에서는 이에 기반하여 열-유동 연계해석을 적용함으로써 금형 내부의 열접촉 저항이 사출성형시 유동특성에 미치는 영향을 분석 하였다. 상기 해석결과와 실험결과와의 비교분석을 통해 금형의 열접촉 저항을 고려한 열-유동 연계해석이 기존의 해석방법과 비교할 때 사출성형 유동특성을 보다 향상된 신뢰성으로 예측할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

It is well known that flexible composite material propeller has superior radiation noise characteristics with outstanding damping effects. In this paper, three flexible composite material propellers were produced using compression molding process, and their hydrodynamic performances and radiation noise characteristics were measured. One propeller, C1, was made up from carbon/epoxy composite laminates, and the other two ones, G1 and G2, from glass/epoxy ones. Their fiber arrays were selected by the progressive damage structural analysis of propellers using composite material model MAT_162 (Composite_DMG_MSC) linked with LS-DYNA code. Carbon/epoxy and glass/epoxy composite specimen tests were performed, their damage mechanisms were figured out, and their parameters were calibrated by their progressive damage structural analysis according to their damage criteria.

It is well known that the family-mold has an advantage to reduce the cost for production and mold. However, defects are frequently occurred by over packing the smaller volume cavity during molding, especially when the family-mold has a volumetric difference between two cavities. In this study, the cavity-filling imbalance was confirmed by the temperature and the pressure sensors, and a variable-runner system was developed for balancing the cavity-filling. Experiments of balancing the cavity filling was carried out in the family-mold with the variable-runner system, and balancing the cavity-filling was confirmed by changing the cross-sectional area of a runner in the variable-runner system with the temperature and pressure sensors. The influence of the injection speed to the balancing-capability of the variable-runner system was also examined in the experiment.

General criteria for the risering design of steel castings and commercial codes for the flow and solidification analysis were used to design the optimized risering in V-process. Three type of specimens were chosen including thin plates and a thick disc. Sided riser installed in the front of a plate casting was effective to prevent the shrinkage defects and to increase the casting yield ratio. Exothennic sleeve and chill were also effective. It was possible to apply the general criteria for the risering design of steel castings to V-process. Temperature of a mold surface was expected to rise over $1,000^{\circ}C$ in the temperature calculation considering radiation effect of molten metal in the mold. Since weakening temperature of the vinyl used in V-process is about $70^{\circ}C$, it should be emphasized that a proper coating of the vinyl film is necessary to prevent the possibility of burning out of the vinyl by the molten metal.

응고제 양, 두유 가열 온도, 성형 압력과 같은 두부 제조 공정에 따른 두부의 조직 강도를 파손강도와 초음파의 지연시간 측정을 이용하여 측정하였다. 응고제 양은 0.3%에서 두유 가열 온도는 $95^{\circ}C$에서 최대 파손강도를 나타내었고 성형압력은 압력이 증가할수록 파손강도가 증가하였으며 그에 상응하는 초음파의 잔존시간은 파손강도와 반비례하여 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 각 제조공정을 변수로 하여 중회귀 분석을 한 결과 초음파의 잔존시간으로 예측된 예측 파손강도와 실측정한 파손강도 값들 사이에는 유사함을 나타내어 초음파를 이용한 초음파 잔존시간의 변화는 식품조직의 변화에 따라 민감한 변화를 나타내므로 식품 제조 공정중 품질관리 측면에서 초음파의 사용이 기대되어진다.
