The cell modeling homogenization method to derive the constitutive equation considering the microstructures of the fiber reinforced composites has been previously developed for composites with simple microstructures such as 2D plane composites and 3D rectangular shaped composites. Here, the method has been further extended for 3D circular braided composites, utilizing B-spline curves to properly describe the more complex geometry of 3D braided composites. For verification purposes, the method has been applied for orthotropic elastic properties of the 3D circular braided glass fiber reinforced composite, in particular for the tensile property. Prepregs of the specimen have been fabricated using the 3D braiding machine through RTM (resin transfer molding) with epoxy as a matrix. Experimentally measured uniaxial tensile properties agreed well with predicted values obtained fer two volume fractions.

A planetary gear trains has characteristics in compactness, power transformation ability and constant meshing. Usability is increased in applications of auto transmission and industrial gearbox. Study on optimum design of planetary gear train has been progressed on miniaturization of weight, miniaturization of planetary gear train and improvement of high strength. There are demands of study f3r the planetary gear train required long life estimation. In this work being considered life, strength, interference, contact ratio and aspect ratio, the optimum design algorithm is proposed to reduce the volume of planetary gear train with transferring the same amount of power. In the design of algerian for planetary gear train, the determination of teeth number is separated to achieve simplicity and the simulated annealing method as a global optimal technique is used far optimal design method.

A volumetric gear pump is often used in extensive industrial applications to provide both high pressure and sufficiently high flow rate by physical displacement of finite volume of fluid with each revolution. To better understand the unsteady flow characteristics within the pump, numerical simulations were conducted by using moving dynamic meshing (MDM) techniques in commercially available CFD software, FLUENT. The effects of rotor clearance size and rotational speed of rotor on the flow characteristics, specially the temporal variation of velocity and pressure field, which is a main source of flow noise, was investigated. The results showed that significant reverse flow is developed in the rotor clearance and that its size is one of the most important factors affecting flow characteristics and pressure pulsation.

A gear pump is a type of pump that displaces a volume of fluid by physical or mechanical action, or positive displacement pump. Power is applied to one of the gears and transmitted to a second driven gear via meshing teeth. This paper describes the hydraulic gear pump for an elevator. In gear pump, since geometrically special forms of gear tooth, 'Pulsations' is always caused in the delivery pressure and quantity. In other words, it is found that the number of delivery pressure pulsation per each revolution is always equal to that of the gear-teeth of the gear, which is coincident with the pulsation of the ideal delivery quantity. Some experimental results are given to verify the effectiveness of the developed pump.

In this paper, numerical calculations are performed to analyze the unsteady flow of NACA airfoil sections. In order to ease the flow computation for the fluid region changing in time, improve the quality of solution and simplify the grid generation for the oscillating foil flow, the computational method adopts a moving and deforming mesh with the multi-block grid topology. The multi-block, structured-unstructured hybrid grid is generated using the commercial meshing software Gridgen V15. The MDM (Moving & Deforming Mesh) and the UDF (User Define function) function of FLUENT 6 are adopted for computing turbulent flows of the foil in pitching motion. Computed unsteady lift and drag forces are compared with experimental data. in general, the characteristics of unsteady lift and drag of the experiments are reproduced well in the numerical analysis.

Since MEMS based micro actuators or generating devices have high efficiency per volume, plenty of research are ongoing. Among them, MEMS based millimeter-scale micro gas' turbine is one of the most powerful issue for replacing chemical batteries. However, since limiting of MEMS manufacturing technique, it is very difficult that makes wide turbine bearing area. It causes low DN number, so sufficient bearing force is hard to achieve. Thus, the most important issue on micro gas turbine is proper bearing design which can keep rotor stable during operation. In order to that, micro-scale gas-lubricated bearing is generally used. In this paper, basic feasibility study and design of journal bearing for 10mm diameter micro gas turbine is described Journal bearing is hydrostatic gas-lubricated type. Numerical simulation is performed with ANSYS CFX 11.0 which is commercial numerical tool. Repulsive force when there is radial displacement in bearing and returning time is calculated using steady and unsteady cases. Auto re-meshing technic is used for moving mesh unsteady cases which simulate displacement of axis and its movement. The simulation results are used for further design of micro gas turbine, and experiment will be done later.
