To control the flow of fluid, several kinds of valves are used. Especially, Main Control Valve (MCV) is the key element of hydraulic system which performs complex control not only controlling the flow of fluid, but also prevent damage of equipment by supplying proper hydraulic pressure to actuator and draining over-supplied hydraulic pressure. While general control valves are producing in domestically, entire quantity of main control valves are depended on importation and it depreciates competitiveness in cost, and time.
In this study, to derive the best design of notch structure by following the orifice flow of 6-linked main control valve and the relation between “notch structure” which is the most fundamental element to control the velocity of the fluid and “pressure distribution”, the flow characteristic is compared by comprehending hydraulic pressure and velocity of the fluid using CFD simulation when spool valve is used for “meter-in” and “meter-out” through the opening of the notch structure.
In this study, i machined micro hole to PCB(Printed circuit board) with ultra precision spindle system for mechanical micro drilling.

Results are as follows; in case of drilling with 0.4∼0.6 ㎜ micro drill, micro hole was made specific range of diameter up to 300 times drilling and micro drilled diameter was bigger than micro drill’s diameter at 300 times over. Error ratio of drilled diameter and damaged hole diameter was within 5 % and 17 %. I observed 0.4 ㎜and 0.6 ㎜micro drill’s cutting edge after 500 times drilling and confirm cutting edge width variation and damage, same result found 1000 times drilling with 0.5 ㎜ micro drill.
In this study, we conducted an interrupted cutting SM20C with lathe and uncoated carbite tool, determined the relationship between Cutting Forces(principal, radial, feed force) by correlation analysis, and predicted the optimum cutting conditions by multiple regression analysis. The result were as follow. : From the correlation analysis, the increase of cutting speed and depth of cut reduces the principal force and radial force. the increase of cutting speed, depth of cut and feed rate will increase the feed force. From multi-regression analysis, we extracted regression equation and the coefficient of determination (R2) was 0.638, 0.692, 0.536 at principal, radial and feed force . It means that the regression equation is not high accuracy. However, it is predictable that the tendency of the forces action the interrupted cutting.
The characteristics of CNT-Polyamide composites were analyzed, that is, tensile strength, electrical resistivity, and thermal conductivity were measured according to the align length of CNT. There have been researches on the influence of aligned CNT to improve the mechanical and thermal characteristics in different areas including absorption and shielding of electromagnetic wave, thermal distribution or absorption, and high-strength of CNT.
The aligned CNTs were synthesized by the ethylene gas with a CVD device preheated at 650℃. CNT-Polyamide composites were produced with the mixing of solution. CNT contents were controlled from 1phr to 50phr in the polyamide-ethanol solution, and blended with the 700W bar-type ultrasonic wave for 60 min.. And then CNT-polyamide were precipitated by CNT-polyamide-etnanol falling into the cold water. After dried 12 hours, CNT-polyamide composite were pressed at 150℃~180℃ with 400kgf to get the thickness of 1mm.
As the conclusions, aligned CNT bundles were dispersed by cutting of CNT to the aligned direction because of polyamide properties. Tensile strength and electrical resistivity were improved to the increase of aligned length of CNT. Thermal conductivity was little affected by the align length of CNT.
This study investigates on the tuning stainless steel(STS630) to understand for groove cutting characteristics. For this purpose, we observed the cutting force according to feed rate and cutting speed variation and performed the computational analysis due to groove cutting depth. In groove cutting of stainless steel, there were principal force, feed force and radial force by arranging the highest cutting force in order. In case of wall thicknesses of 0.3mm and 0.5mm at groove cutting, principal force increases according to the increase of feed rate but it is not related to cutting speed. We found the unstable region of cutting force that is caused to the friction resistance of cutting tool and elastic deformation of groove wall. In computational analysis, we confirmed that the more feed rate increases, the more strain increases around the tooth root.
CFRP hardened by carbon fiber and resin has the property of high strength and low weight. Specifically, the strong feature against the external vibration environment is shown as CFRP is designed with the structure of multi-axes. So, CFRP in place of metal has been used at the various fields. CFRP specimens for mode Ⅱ are applied with the repetitive fatigue load in this study. These specimens have the fiber layer angles of 30°, 45° and 60°. The material properties of specimens are investigated with the result of fatigue fracture due to this load. As the study result, the smallest and largest reaction forces of 500 N and 540 N are shown at the layer angle of 30° and 60° respectively among these specimens. The separation of adhesive interface at 4000 fatigue cycles is happened earliest in case of the layer angle of 60°. But the separation of adhesive interface at 11000 fatigue cycles is happened latest in case of the layer angle of 45°. Through the result of fatigue property, it is thought that the basis data can be applied to evaluate the safety at CFRP structure applied with fatigue.
Recently, a study on reducing the weight of the robot arm, which enables a high-speed operation and enables reducing the energy consumption has been actively carried out. A lightweight robot arm is hard to control because it behaves like a flexible body rather than a rigid body. This paper proposes a controller which combines a PID controller and a fuzzy logic controller for control the position and vibration of the flexible robot arm. In order to show the effectiveness of the proposed controller, MSC.ADAMS computational model which incorporates the finite element flexible robot arm model is developed, and is used for performing simulations. Simulations are carried out with two reference inputs, and three end masses. Simulation results show that the proposed controller controls the position and vibration of the flexible robot arm adaptively without being affected by the reference input and the end mass.

In order to obtain the goal of the weight reduction of automobile components, the researches about lighter and stronger wheel carriers have been studied without sacrificing the safety of them. In this study, the weight reduction design process of wheel carrier could be proposed based on the variation of von-Mises stress contour by substituting an AA6061 (aluminum 6061 alloy) having tensile strength of 310 MPa grade instead of FCD600 Irons. From the stress analysis results before and after design modification, the stress relaxation was done at every given loading conditions. Therefore, it could be reached that this approach method could be well established and be contributed for light-weight design guide and the optimum design conditions of the automotive wheel carrier development.

The maximum stress at model 1 becomes far bigger than model 2. By comparing two models, model 1 has more critical condition than model 2. At the design of automotive seat frame at the dynamic vibration condition, the material of design with the durability and safety can be secured through this study result.
The purpose of this study was investigated heat flow and heat transfer coefficient characteristics of around tube when changing the tube arrangement type and heat transfer area. When ≒1∼4, convective heat transfer coefficient of staggered and aligned arrangement was increased. Growth rate of the heat transfer coefficient becomes smaller in case of ≒5∼8 because a change in the turbulence was very small. At the staggered arrangement, all tubes were always arranged in front of the open passage between the back of the tube. Then, the entire surface area of the tube was exposed to the main flow. Thus growth rate of heat transfer coefficient appear larger than aligned arrangement.

The characteristics of stress distribution and fatigue life have been investigated in the road mower head system using FEM(Finite Element Method). There is high stress distribution around the coupling part with non-uniform load from the irregular road surface. Maximum equivalent stress especially occurs in the fixed plate and the pillar of the head device with maximum deformation at the rotation axis frame of the mower system. Fatigue life tests were also performed with SAE bracket history, SAE transmission, and sample history conditions. SAE bracket history and SAE transmission predicted the possibility of high damage while Sample history showed a stable trend. These results will be applicable in optimal design for various systems equipped with mower head system.
Biodiesel as alternative energy source of the traditional petroleum fuels has increased interest, because environmental pollution based exhaust emissions from vehicle became serious. The advantage of biodiesel produced from esterification of vegetable and animal oils can be used without the modification of existing diesel engine, but glycerin is generated by production process. In this study, the usability of non-esterification biodiesel as an alternative fuel was investigated in a indirect injection diesel engine. The non-esterification biodiesel has not generated glycerin in esterification process and reduced the 20 percent of cost because it has not used methanol in the production process. Experiments were conducted by using the 5, 10 and 20 percentage of biodiesel and 4 and 8 percentage of biodiesel with 1 and 2 percentage of WDP in baseline diesel fuel. The smoke emission of biodiesel was reduced in comparison with diesel fuel, but power, torque and brake specific energy consumption was similar to diesel fuel.
Wire rods having various sectional shape are generally used in various applications. In a 2-roll shape rolling process, step-by-step rolling operations are executed repeatedly and the rollers must be changed whenever the sectional shape of wire rod is changed. The frequent changes of the rollers and discontinuous repeated operations are cause various shortcomings such as increase of manufacturing cost and reduction in precision. We had developed a high precision automatic wire rod manufacturing system to reduce these shortcomings in the previous study. In this study, we evaluated the field application performance of the developed system in terms of straightness, thickness deviation, surface precision, tensile and hardness of the wire rod in order to verify the feasibility of the system.
