Recently a new high power device GCT (Gate Commutated Turn-off) thyristor has been successfully introduced to high power converting application areas. GCT thyristor has a quite different turn-off mechanism to the GTO thyristor. All main current during turn-off operation is commutated to the gate. Therefore, IGCT thyristor has many superior characteristics compared with GTO thyristor; especially, snubberless tum-off capacibility and higher turn-on capacibility. The basic structure of the GeT thyristor is same as that of the GTO thyristor. This makes the blocking voltage higher and controllable on-state current higher. The turn-off characteristic of the GCT thyristor is influenced by the minority carrier lifetime and the performance of the gate drive unit. In this paper, we present turn-off characteristics of the 2.5kV PT(Punch-Through) type GCT as a function of the minority carrier lifetime and variation of the doping profile shape of p-base region.

In this paper, a new small sized Lateral Trench Electrode Power MOS was proposed. This new structure, called LTEMOS(Lateral Trench Electrode Power MOS), was based on the conventional lateral power MOS. But the entire electrodes of LTEMOS were placed in trench oxide. The forward blocking voltage of the proposed LTEMOS was improved by 1.5 times with that of the conventional lateral power MOS. The forward blocking voltage of LTEMOS was about 240 V. At the same size, an improvement of the forward blocking voltage of about 1.5 times relative to the conventional MOS was observed by using ISE-TCAD which was used for analyzing device's electrical characteristics. Because all of the electrodes of the proposed device were formed in each trench oxide, the electric field was crowded to trench oxide and punch-through breakdown was occurred, lately.

It is aimed to survey the housewive's interest and understanding on the Korean traditional dishes in relation to the importance and the significance of those dishes in the Korean traditional folk ceremony. Questionnaires were distributed to and answered by 667 housewives ranging from the the mother of kindergarden children to the mother of seniors in the university. Some of the significant findings and speculations derived from the analysis of data are summarized as follows: 1. About 90% of subjects have taken the knowledge on cooking the traditional dishes from their mothers and their grandmothers. And they have had many opportunities to known about traditional dishes through the home life education. 2. The kinds of the Korean traditional dishes which are used often at the folk ceremony are Tto k(Korean rice cake), Shikhae (fermented rice fruits punch), Sujong Kwa (persimmon fruits punch), Whachae(flower, fruits punch) etc. 3. About two thirds of the subjects have a little knowledge about Korean traditional special menu for the Korean folk ceremony, however, most of them observe New York's Day, Chusuk (The Korean Tranks giving Day), Dongji (The winter solstice), and Deborum (The 15th of the January on lunar Calender). 4. About 74% of the subjects use Korean traditional foods when they have Korean traditional folk ceremony. But there is a tendency to use nontraditional dishes among young housewives. 5. More than 73% of the housewives agree to the idea that Korean traditional dishes have to be succeeded and developed. 6. Most of the housewives think the Korean traditional folk ceremony is important and they are willing to make Korean traditional foods on the occasions, but they also think the ceremony must be rather simplified.

Steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) is widely used for tunnel lining structure such as shot-crete in NATM tunnel and segment in TBM tunnel. In tunnel fire accidents, structural performance of a lining is very important because the lining is the structure that directly exposed to fire. In this study, the effects of high temperatures, mix ratios and types on failure pattern, DPT tensile strength and coefficient of variation were investigated through Double Punch Tests (DPT) of SFRC subjected to high temperatures. In the results, it is confirmed that the residual DPT tensile strength increases as for SFRC and this is more in SFRC with higher mix ratio. But, the equation for evaluation of DPT tensile strength does not involve the number of failure surfaces SFRC specimens subjected to high temperatures, therefore, it is required to investigate more fracture energy in DPT tests.

A systematic approach of the energy method is proposed for analysis of axisymmetric deep drawing in which the total deforming region is divided into five sections by the geometric characteristic. The corresponding solution is found through optimization of the total energy dissipation with respect to some parameters assumed in the kinematically admissible velocity field defined over each region. The sheet blank is divided into three-or five-layers to consider the bending effect. For the evaluation of frictional energy, it is assumed that the blank holding force acts on the outer rim of the flange and that the contact pressure acting on punch shoulder or die shoulder has uniform distributions, respectively. The computed results by the present method are compared with the experiment and the computed results by the elastic-plastic finite element method for the distribution of thickness strain and the relation between the punch stroke and punch load. The results for the case of multi-layers show better agreements than for the case of a single layer in load vs. stroke relation and strain distribution. It is thus shown that the multi-layer technique can be effectively employed in analyzing axisymmetric deep drawing in connection with the energy method.

It was analyzed and experimented on the change of the material thickness according to the size of the "R" of the punch and die corners using the material of SCP-1 0.25mm As a result, the following conclusions were obtained. Tensile strength analysis and safety analysis of materials are very important process for each process in strip layout, and Through this, the Influx of material and the deformation of the material were found. As a result of safety analysis and tensile thickness analysis, when the corner R of the punch was 0.3 mm and the edge R of the die was 1.0 mm The inflow of the material was not smooth, and the thickness of the corner part became 0.2 mm, causing cracks. when the corner R of the punch was 0.5 mm and the edge R of the die was 1.5 mm The inflow of the material was smooth, The thickness of the corners of the product is 0.21mm and It was considered that cracks do not occur when the thickness of the bottom surface and the body part becomes thin. The results obtained by applying the results obtained from the analysis, In Experimental Condition 1, a crack occurred in the same part of the analysis In Experimental Condition 2, the flow of the material was smooth and the drawing processing could be performed without generating cracks.

The formation of adiabatic shearband in tungsten heavy alloys(WHA) was studied in this investigation. Five prismatic specimens were loaded by high velocity impacts and treated as plane strain problems. To find out the effect of particle's volume ratio, specimens containing 81%, 93% and 97% volume percents of tungsten particles were used. Also the effects of particle's geometry and size on the formation of shearband were studied for 81% volume percent alloys by small size particle model, large size particle model and undulated particle models, and the results were discussed.be used to diagnose the causes of necking and fracture in industrial practice and to investigate whether these defects were caused by material property variation, changes in lubrication, or incorrect press settings. In non-axisymmetric deep drawing, three modes of forming regimes are found: draw, stretch, plane strain. The stretch mode for non-axisymmetric deep drawing could be defined when the major and minor strains are positive. The draw mode could be defined when the major strain is positive and minor strain is negative, and plane strain mode could be defined when the major strain is positive and minor strain is zero. Through experiments the draw mode was shown on the wall and flange are one of a drawn cup, while the plane strain and the stretch mode were on the punch head and the punch corner area respectively, We observed that the punch load of elliptical deep drawing was decreased according to increase of die corner radius and the thickness deformation of minor side was more large than major side.

Fine blanking is a press processing technology that can process most of the product thickness into a smooth surface with a single stroke. In this fine blanking process, shear is an essential step. The punches and dies used in the shear are subjected to impacts of tens to hundreds of gravitational accelerations, depending on the type and thickness of the material. Therefore, among the components of the fine blanking mold (dies), punches and dies are the parts with the shortest lifespan. In the actual production site, various types of tool damage occur such as wear of the tool as well as sudden punch breakage. In this study, machine learning algorithms were used to predict these problems in advance. The dataset used in this paper consisted of the signal of the vibration sensor installed in the tool and the measured burr size (tool wear). Various features were extracted so that artificial intelligence can learn effectively from signals. It was trained with 5 features with excellent distinguishing performance, and the SVM algorithm performance was the best among 33 learning models. As a result of the research, the vibration signal at the time of imminent tool replacement was matched with an accuracy of more than 85%. It is expected that the results of this research will solve problems such as tool damage due to accidental punch breakage at the production site, and increase in maintenance costs due to prediction errors in punch exchange cycles due to wear.

In this study, the formability of AZ31B magnesium alloy sheets was investigated by the analytical and experimental approaches. Tensile tests and limit dome height tests were rallied out at several temperatures between $25^{\circ}C$ and $300^{\circ}C$ to obtain the mechanical properties and forming limit diagram (FLD). The FLD-based criterion considering the strain-path and the blank temperature was used to predict the forming limit in a deep-drawing process of cross-shaped cup by finite element analysis. This criterion proved to be very useful in determining the optimal process conditions such as blank shape, punch velocity, minimum comer radius, fillet size, and so on, through the comparison between FEA and experimental data. In particular, the temperature of each tool that provided the best formability of the blank was determined by coupled temperature-deformation analyses. A practical method that can greatly reduce the forming time by increasing the punch speed during the forming process was suggested.

This paper deals with the aspects of die design for the multistage fine tooth hub gear in the cold forging process. In order to manufacture the cold forged product for the precision hub gear used as the ARD 370 system of bicycle, it examines the influences of different designs on the metal flow through experiments and FE-simulation. To find the combination of design parameters which minimize the damage value, the low gear length, upper gear length and inner diameter as design parameters are considered. An orthogonal fraction factorial experiment is employed to study the influence of each parameter on the objective function or characteristics. The optimal punch shape of fine tooth hub gear is designed using the results of FE-simulation and the artificial neural network. To verify the optimal punch shape, the experiments of the cold forging of the hub gear are executed.
