A steam turnine in thermal/nuclear power plant drives generator and maintains it at rated speed using high temperature and high pressure steam energy. After synchronization in parallel with the power system, generator output increases according as the governor, that is the controller, increases steam flow into turbine. By the way, as the steam flow into turbine can not be reduced fast even though the electrical load is lost, the turbine gets into dangerous situation due to the increase of its speed. At this time, the duty of the turbine governor is to limit the speed to its overspeed trip setpoint by stopping the steam flow as soon as possible, the test of which is called load rejection test. It is introduced in this paper for a simulation test of generator load rejection to be implemented on the turbine governor in a 600MW nuclear power plant before its startup.

본 연구에서는 타이어의 공기압이 농용트랙터의 견인성능과 토양다짐에 미치는 효과를 실험적으로 조사하였으며, 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) 타이어공기압에 따른 트랙터의 견인성능 실험 결과, 공기압의 감소는 트랙터의 운동저항은 감소시키고, 견인력과 견인효율은 증대시키는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 연약지에서 운용되는 트랙터는 공기압의 조절을 통해(최소 허용 공기압까지 타이어공기압의 감소를 통해) 견인성능과 작업성능을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 2) 트랙터의 타이어공기압과 통과횟수의 증가는 모두 토양다짐을 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 토양다짐을 줄이기 위해서는 트랙터가 통과한 궤적상을 연속해서 통과할 수 있도록 작업 계획을 세우면 전체 경작 면적에 대한 토양 다짐을 줄일 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 또한 타이어의 공기압을 최소 허용 공기압 수준까지 감소시킬 경우 토양다짐을 최소화할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 3) 위의 결과로부터 트랙터의 작업성능의 향상과 토양다짐의 최소화는 타이어공기압의 조절을 통해 어느 정도 이를 수 있는 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 이러한 목적을 달성하기 위해서는 운전석에 설치된 제어판을 통해 지면의 상태에 따라 타이어의 공기압을 운전자가 쉽게 조절할 수 있는 최첨단 기술인 CTI시스템을 농용트랙터에 적용하는 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

A program to analyze the performance characteristics of a hydraulic shimmy damper for automotive steering system was developed in this study. Dimensionless mathematical equations of the dynamics of shimmy damper for forward and reverse fluid flows were derived respectively and incorporated into the Simulink models. The program was validated by comparing the results of simulation and experiments for various frequencies of upstream ripple pressures into the damper. Low-pass filter characteristics of the shimmy damper at reverse flow was demonstrated which means that the shimmy damper could alleviate the high speed ripple pressures induced by the unbalance oscillation of tire in vehicle driving. The parameter sensitivity analysis was also conducted to identify the dominant parameters for the damper performance.

Based on a two-degree of freedom vehicle model, this paper investigates ride comfort for a heavy off-road vehicle mounted a nonlinear hydropneumatic spring, which is influenced by nonlinear stiffness and damping characteristics of the hydropneumatic spring. Especially, the damping force is derived by applying H. Blasius formula in modeling process according to the real physical structure of the hydropneumatic spring, and the established model of nonlinear stiffness characteristics have been validated by experiments. Furthermore, the effects of parameter variations of the hydropneumatic spring, such as initial charge pressure and damping coefficient, on body acceleration, suspension deflection and dynamic tire deflection are also investigated.

In many industrial processes, there are more than two responses (i.e., yield, percent impurity, etc.) of interest, and it is desirable to determine the optimal levels of the factors (i.e., temperature, pressure, etc.) that influence the responses. Suppose the response relationships are assumed to be approximated by second-order polynomial regression models. The problems considered in this paper is, first, to propose how to select polynomial terms to fit the multivariate regression surfaces for a given set of data, and, second, to propose how to analyze the data to obtain an optimal operating condition for the factors. The proposed techniques were applied for empirical process optimization in a tire company in Korea. This case is presented as an illustration.

The essence of ABS(Anti-skid Brake System) control is to continuously adjust brake pressure to maintain optimum brake torque. This optimum level should balance tire and runway friction its peak value, yielding maximum braking deceleration. It influences not only the deceleration and the taxing distance of an aircraft, but also the strength and the fatigue life of the landing gear. In this paper, an ABS control algorithm is developed with a dynamics model of 5-DOFD(Degree of Freedom). The algorithm is verified by simulations and the simulation results are presented. The dynamics model is simulated by the computer.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this article is to compare and evaluate the riding comfort of a passenger in tunnels depending on different surface textures of concrete pavement. METHODS : Evaluation of riding comfort is conducted at 17 sections, which have different surface texture such as transverse tinned(TT), longitudinal tinned(LT) and diamond grinded(DG). A triaxial accelerometer was set up on the passenger seat surface of the test vehicle to measure vibrations of an occupant, then the effects of vibration on comfort and health were evaluated by ISO 2631. And microphones were installed at passenger's ears height to measure sound pressure level(SPL) in the test vehicle. Additionally, a surface microphone was installed on the inside of wheel arch to evaluate noise between tire and pavement by NCPX method. All tests were conducted cruising at 100km/h. RESULTS : The results of all tests are as follows. First, both vibration magnitudes for comfort and for health in LT and DG sections are almost same and they represent lower than those in TT sections. Second, the average SPL of DG shows the lowest decibels among them. And third, it is founded that interior noise is significantly affected by noise between tire and pavement. CONCLUSIONS : It may be concluded that DG can provide more excellent riding comfort to passenger than LT or TT. Therefore, it is necessary to consider applying DG to existing pavement surface to improve surface condition when the driving environment especially requires riding comfort like a long tunnel.

Traction performance of off-road vehicles is estimated using slip-traction relationships Two zero condition accepted by ASAE have been used widely to obtain the slip-traction relationships of off-road vehicles. This study was carried out using the soil bin systems to investigate the characteristic of slip-traction curves obtained using two zero conditions defined by ASAE. which are driving and driven zero condition, and to present disadvantage of slip-traction relationship based on two zero conditions of ASAE. The results of this study are summarized as follows : 1. For the driving zero condition, the curve of slip-traction relationship shows some issues. The first question is that the slip is zero when the traction is zero. The second question is that the value of slip is smaller than that of corresponding real slip, as the rolling radius decreased f3r the setting zero condition with driving wheel. 2. For the driven zero condition. slip occurs when the traction is zero, which is more realistic results than driving zero condition. But when a zero condition is set, skid occurs and this result increased the rolling radius of tire and increased slip value f3r the specific traction value of whole slip range. This kind of trend was getting bigger as the soil is softer, or the tire inflation pressure is higher. 3. From the results of this study, it was found that slip-traction relationship obtained by two zero conditions of ASAE is not realistic in estimating the traction performance of off-road vehicles. And also slip-traction relationship obtained for the same experimental condition showed different result in accordance with chosen zero condition,

One of the viscoelastic flow behaviors during profile extrusion is the swelling of extrudate. In this study, die swell of rubber compound in the capillary die have been investigated through experiment and computer simulation. Simplified viscoelastic model and non-linear differential viscoelastic model such as PTT model have been used in the computer simulation. The simulation results have been compared with experimental data. Experiment and simulation have been performed using fluidity tester and commercial CFD code, Polyflow respectively. Die swells predicted by two models showed good agreement with experimental results. Pressure and velocity distribution, and circulation flow at the corner of reservoir have been well predicted by PTT model. Simplified viscoelastic model can not predict circulation flow at the corner of reservoir. However this model has an advantage in computation time compare with full viscoelastic model, PTT model.

It is important to pay careful attention to the backfill construction for the structural integrity of concrete box culvert. To increase the structural integrity of culvert good compaction by the dynamic compaction roller with big capacity is as effective as good backfill materials. However structural distress of the culvert could be occurred due to the excessive earth pressure by great dynamic compaction load. In this study, two box culverts were constructed with change compaction materials and construction methods. Two type of on-site soils such as subbase and subgrade materials were used as backfill materials. In most case, dynamic compaction rollers with 11 to 12 ton weights were used and vibration frequency were applied from 2000 to 2500 rpm for the great compaction energy. Backfill compactions with good quality soils were carried out to examine the effect of cushions on dynamic lateral soil pressure. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) and rubber of tire were adapted as cushion materials and they are set on the culverts before backfill construction. This paper presents the main results on the characteristics of dynamic earth pressures. Test result indicates that the amounts of increased dynamic pressures are affected with backfill materials, depth of pressure cell, and compaction condition. The earth pressure during compaction can give harmful effect to box culvert because the value of dynamic earth pressure coefficient $(\DeltaK_{dyn}=\DeltaK\sigma_h\DeltaK\sigma_v)$ during compaction is greater than that of static condition. It was observed that cushion panels of EPS(t=10cm) and rubber(t=5cm) are effective to mitigate dynamic lateral pressure on the culverts.
