Preserving reservoir safety has recognized to be important for the public where a vast majority of dams are located upstream of greatly populated cities and industrialized areas. Buckling, floatation and cavitation have caused failure in the spillway gates and conveyance features during past catastrophic events; showed their vulnerability and need for regular inspection along with reviewing design calculations to ensure the spillway meet current design standards. This paper investigates the hydraulic and structural consideration of dam's spillway by evaluating the data of Karkheh Dam's. Discharge capacity, flood routings and cavitation damage risk were main features for hydraulic considerations where hydrostatic and hydrodynamic forces and stability conditions were considered in structural considerations.

A certain amount of random vibration excitation to subway track is caused by subway operation. This excitation is transmitted through track foundation, tunnel, soil medium, and ground building to the ground and ground structure, causing vibration. The vibration affects ground building. In this study, the results of ANSYS numerical simulation was used to establish back-propagation (BP) neural network model. Moreover, a back-propagation neural network model consisting of five input neurons, one hidden layer, 11 hidden-layer neurons, and three output neurons was used to analyze and calculate the vertical Z-vibration level of New Capital's ground buildings of Qingdao Metro phase I Project (Line M3). The Z-vibration level under different working conditions was calculated from monolithic roadbed, steel-spring floating slab roadbed, and rubber-pad floating slab roadbed under the working condition of center point of 0-100 m. The steel-spring floating slab roadbed was used in the New Capital area to monitor the subway operation vibration in this area. Comparing the monitoring and prediction results, it was found that the prediction results have a good linear relationship with lower error. The research results have good reference and guiding significance for predicting vibration caused by subway operation.

Seawater desalination is doubtlessly a viable option to supply fresh drinking water. Nevertheless, RO (reverse osmosis) desalination plants in specific areas may be intermittently operated to match the imbalance between water demand and supply. Although a handful of works have been done on other membrane systems, few studies have attempted to mitigate fouling in intermittent RO systems. Accordingly, the objectives of this paper were to examine the effect of the intermittent operation on RO fouling; and to compare four intermittent operation modes including feed solution recirculation, membrane storage in the feed solution, deionized water (DI) recirculation, and membrane storage in DI water. Results showed that intermittent operation reduced RO fouling under several conditions. However, the extents of fouling mitigation were different depending on the feed conditions, foulant types, and membrane lay-up methods. When the feed solution was recirculated during the lay-up, the restoration of the flux was less significant than that by the feed solution feed-up. The use of deionized water during the lay-up was effective to restore flux, especially when the feed solution contains scale-forming salts (CaSO₄) and/or colloidal silica.

본 연구에서는 프레스 시험 중 시편에서 발생하는 음향방출 신호와 신호필터링을 통해 시편의 건전성을 평가하는 연구를 진행하였으며, 실험결과를 통해 음향방출 진동횟수와 최대진폭 두 개의 음향방출 파라미터를 프레스 시편 건전성 판단에 적용하고자 한다. 프레스 장치를 이용한 구멍확장시험 중에는 시편에서 탄성파가 발생하며, 탄성파를 음향방출 센서를 통해 수집하였다. 이 신호를 바탕으로 음향방출 파라미터를 획득한 뒤, 시편의 크랙을 감지하는 연구를 진행하였다. 명확한 건전성 판단을 위해 STFT(Short Time Fourier Transform)와 고주파수 통과 필터(High-Pass Filter)를 이용하였다. 향후 본 연구에서 제안하는 신호 처리 기법 및 해당 파라미터를 활용한다면 프레스공정에서의 시편 건전성 평가 성능을 향상시킬 수 있을 것이라 생각된다.

The pressing of car body parts is one of the most important sheet metal drawing processes. The corrosion protection oil applied by the steel mills plays a part in every sheet metal forming operation and also makes up the largest proportion of lubricants used. The idea to combine the corrosion protection properties of a corrosion preventive oil with the lubricity of a drawing oil lead to the development of the Anticorit prelubes. Applied at the finishing lines of the steel mills, they finally serve as lubricant in the press shops. A prerequisite for the suitability of a prelube-type oil is the absolute compatibility with all single processes from the coil to the Body in White. The use of prelubes in steel mills reduces the number and quantity of spot lubricants for additional press shop oiling dramatically. But their true benefits can only be fully achieved if the compatibility principle is applied throughout the manufacturing chain. Therefore, modem prelubes systems are modular, even different viscosities can be part of the same concept. This results in a far-reaching multifunctionality of the Anticorit prelube system for all applications.

This paper presents a variant type process planning system for machining of dies for auto-body production. Through the analysis of dies and their manufacturing processes, the authors categorized the press dies into 15 groups according to the similarity of machining features. After critically reviewing current manufacturing procedures, a standard process plan was defined for each group. The authors present MP3D the process planning system built on the standard process plan database, and show how they apply it at the die manufacturing plant of an automobile company. MP3D is expected to reduce major losses in machining such as reworking caused by mistakenly uncut features and eventually to help to accumulate the knowledge of operators. The operation sheet MP3D produces is also used in monitoring the progress of manufacturing of dies. This paper explains the whole development cycle of a process planning system from process analysis to application so that it can help readers to develop and apply a process planning system to their machine shops.

This paper deals with automated computer-aided process planning by which designers can determine operation sequences even if they have little experience in the design of press working products. The computer-aided process planning in hot forging, deep drawing and blanking requires many kinds of technical and empirical skills based on investigation and collection of the knowledge of their processes. An approach to the CAPP system is based on the knowledge-based rules and the process knowledge base consisting of process planning rules is built. The methodology adopted to develop the system is elaborated in this paper. This system has been written in AutoLISP on the AutoCAD with a personal computer and provides powerful capabilities for process planning of hot forging, cold forging, deep drawing and blanking products.

The terminal and core(wire conductor) in a Harness processing is connected by putting them in a applicator by virtue of a manual operation. A normal or abnormal condition of crimping connections is nearly determined by a skilled worker. In general, a skilled worker operates a press motor with a foot switch by pressing on foot and puts a wire conductor into a press with one hand. By doing so, sufficient efficiency is not obtained by a worker. In this paper, a basic study has done to make improve an efficiency by finding the normal arrangement out as to whether a terminal and wire conductor in Harness are placed on the right position or not with a quadrant plane photo position sensor.

A process sequence in precision press forming of electrnic components is investigated by the finite element method. Aperture, a key component of electronic gun, is formed through a sequence of about 15 operation, among which the beading & bending, the first piercing, the first coining, and the second coining operations are expected to be most critical in view of industrial experts opinions. Thus, the analysis per- formed by a commercial code MARC focuses on the three operations, and comparisons are made between the results of the analysis and the measurements of experimental forming of the component.
