In this study, influence of the process parameters of the roller leveling process on the straightness of the steel wire was analyzed using numerical analysis. To construct the numerical analysis model, cross-sectional and longitudinal element sizes, which affect the prediction accuracy of longitudinal stress caused by bending deformation of the steel wire, were optimized, and mass scaling that satisfies prediction accuracy while reducing computational time was confirmed. By using the constructed numerical analysis model, the influence of various process parameters such as input direction of the steel wire, initial diameter of the steel wire, back tension and intermesh on the straightness was confirmed. The simulation result shows that the 3^rd and 4^th roller of vertical straightener had a significant influence on vertical shape of the steel wire.

In this paper, an approach to designing controllers for the tension/movement control of working robot to install a stringing wire cable is presented. To design a controller, when the robot moves a certain distance maintaining constant tension, the dynamic model of a stringing wire cable which considers effects of weights according to changing lengths is presented. Also the tension at startup of the working robot is studied by numerical analysis which is based on the equation of the dynamic wire model. From the dynamic model for a stringing wire cable, working robot for tension/movement control is suggested and designed a feedforward controller with a accelerator gain to suppress a mutual interference of the both tasks of tension/movement control. Depending on the operating conditions of the working robot, the effectiveness of the suggested system has been verified by the simulation and experimental results.

Drawing process of Al-1%Si bonding wire considering fine Si particle is analyzed in this study using FE-simulation. Al-1%Si boding wire requires electric conductivity because Al-1%Si bonding wire is used for interconnection in semiconductor device. About 1% of Si is added to Al wire for dispersion-strengthening. Distribution and shape of fine Si particle have strongly influence on the wire drawing process. In this study, therefore, the finite-element model based on the observation of wire by continuous casting is used to analyze the effect of various parameters, such as the reduction in area, the semi-die angle, the aspect ratio, the inter-particle spacing and orientation angle of the fine Si particle on wire drawing processes. The effect of each parameter on the wire drawing process is investigated from the aspect of ductility and defects of wire. From the results of the analysis, it is possible to obtain the important basic data which can be guaranteed in the fracture prevention of Al-1 %Si wire.

Wind tunnel model has some difference in shape compared to the real flight vehicle because of model support system for testing. The support system can make some differences in the measured forces and moments to the flight test data. There are several correction methods involved such as cavity pressure correction and model support interference. Internal balance and belly sting support were used for this wind tunnel test and three types of model support correction methods, variable sting thickness method, dummy sting method, and wire support method, were compared. Variable sting thickness method is well matched with wire support method, which is known for almost interference free.

The combined model following control (MFC)-decoupler system is employed for a full authority fly-by-wire utility helicopter to enhance handling qualities. The MFC, which governs the vehicle to follow the prescribed model, is widely employed for modern helicopters. However, it may not be sufficient as helicopters often suffer significant cross coupling. The coupled responses between control axes of a helicopter increase the pilot's work load and may degrade handling qualities. As the decoupler is introduced to the MFC, the combined MFC-decoupler effectively solves the coupling problems and enhances handling qualities. The proposed system is verified via the handling qualities prediction using the mathematical dynamics model. The analysis results are confirmed through the piloted simulation.

The life of elevator wire ropes is one of the most important characteristics of an elevator, which is closely related to the safety of users and its maintenance policy. It is not cost effective to measure the lifetime of elevator wire ropes during their use. In this study, the life estimation of elevator wire ropes (8x19W-IWRC) is considered using accelerated degradation test data. A bending fatigue tester is used to perform the accelerated degradation tests, incorporating the acceleration factor of tensile force. Assuming that the life of wire ropes is log-normally distributed, two life estimation methods are suggested and their results are compared. The first method estimates the life of wire ropes utilizing the accelerated life model with pseudo lives obtained from a linear regression model. The second method estimates the life using a logistic model based on failure probability.

Bonded lingual retained are divided into two common types; preformed retainers with attached mash pads, and those that are custom fabricated from standard round ir multi-standed wire. The clinician may encounter problems in the bonding process of both types of retainers because of an inability to accurtely place and temporarily stability the wire in the same position as it was adapted an a guide model. Because of these problems, a new fabrication technique of bonded lingual retainers which increase their accuracy and ease of placement and also increased their tretention was suggested by the author. Using a current model as a guide, this bonded lingual retainer was fabricated from $.028"{\sim}.032"$ standard round wire. The wire was formed with pliers for idel adapation to the lingual surfaces of the involved teeth. Right angle bends were placed in the retainer wire ends and custom "composite" bonding pads were added to the ends of the retainer wire. This bonded lingual retainer with custom "composite" bonding pads is easir to place because of the increased stability and the accuracy of placement is greatly increased. The increased insure that the retainer comforms ideally to the lingual surface of the teeth being retained.

NiTi-wire shape memory alloy (SMA) dampers, that utilize NiTi SMA wires to simultaneously damp tension, compression and torsion, was developed for structural control implementation in this study. First, eight reduced-scale NiTi-wire SMA dampers were constructed. Then tension, compression and torsion experiments using the eight reduced-scale NiTi-wire SMA dampers of different specification were done. The experimental results revealed all of the eight reduced-scale NiTi-wire SMA dampers had the ability to simultaneously supply tension-compression damping and torsion damping. Finally, mechanics analysis of the NiTi-wire SMA dampers was done based on a model of the SMA-wire restoring force and on tension-compression and torsion damping analysis. The damping analytical results were found to be similar to the damping experimental results.

In wire drawing, aterial deformation is concentrated on the surface of the drawn wire because of surface contact with the drawing die. Therefore, strain varies from the center to the surface of the drawn wire. In this study, based on the upper bound method, an effective strain prediction method from the center to the surface of a drawn wire was proposed. Using the proposed method, the effective strain of the drawn wire was calculated verify the proposed prediction method, the predicted effective strain was compared with the result of finite element analysis.

Nonlinear vibration of the CRT shadow mask with impact damping wires is analyzed in consideration of the mask tension distribution and the effect of wire impact damping. A reduced order FEM model of the shadow mask is obtained from dynamic condensation of the mass and stiffness matrices, and damping wire is modeled using the lumped parameter method to effectively describe its contact interactions with the shadow mask. The nonlinear contact-impact model is composed of spring and damper elements, of which parameters are determined from the Hertzian contact theory and the restitution coefficient, respectively. The analysis model of the shadow mask with damping wires is experimentally verified through impact tests of shadow masks performed in a vacuum chamber.
