Motion simulator is a mechanism that creates the feelings of being to occupants in a moving vehicle. Many types of motion simulators or platforms have been developed in the area of aerospace or automobile. A single-seated motion simulator was developed according to the extension of amusement market. The personal simulator that is interactive with a personal computer can move with rolling or pitching motion by the control of a racing wheel or joystick. The dynamic behavior of the motion simulator was obtained by kinematic and multi-body dynamic analysis. Reaction forces and moments from the analysis were used to calculate the stress distribution of the base frame that is one of major structural parts of the simulator. The stress result represented that high stresses were concentrated on the connected parts with ribs.

In spite of relatively high prices, aluminum wheels rapidly replace traditional steel wheels because of light weight and stylish design. To cope with expanding aluminum wheel market, steel wheel makers try to produce skeleton typed steel wheels adopting high strength steel which are light, stylish and lowprice compared with conventional steel wheel. But skeleton typed steel wheel disks are difficult to form because of complex shapes and low drawability of high strength steel. This paper presents the drawing process design for 5-spoke skeleton steel wheel disk. Through the finite element simulation of various alternatives for multi stage drawing processes, desirable draw die designs were proposed.

평판디스플레이용 진공패널의 제작시 진공으로 유지된 패널을 구성하는 유리판이 받는 응력과 변위를 계산하였다. 유리판의 두께, 패널의 크기 및 실링폭의 크기를 변수로 하여 실제로 진공패널을 제작한 후 패널의 파괴양상과 변위를 측정하였다. 유리판의 파괴양상과 변형측정을 통하여 유리판에 걸리는 최대응력은 테두리부분에 걸리는 것을 확인하였다. 제작된 진공패널이 갖는 응력분포 및 변위의 분포는 패널을 진공실링할 때 사용한 실런트의 폭에 크게 의존하였다. 패널의 실링폭이 커질수록 모서리가 완전 고정된 조건으로 계산한 결과와 유사하였다. 두께가 3mm인 유리판을 사용해서 80×120textrmmm2</TEX> 크기의 패널을 제작할 때 실링폭이 20mm인 경우 측정된 변위는 57μm였으며, 이 값은 모서리가 완전히 고정된 조건으로 계산한 갈인 54μm와 비슷하였다.
