Gas springs applied to various industrial fields are generally composed of a cylinder, a piston rod, a cover, and a seal mount. Because of the thin wall of the cylinder, small gas springs are manufactured using a roller forming process that presses the cylinder wall into a groove of cover in the cylinder. In this study, finite element analysis and process design of roller forming are performed to systematically manufacture the small gas spring and develop a roller forming machine. In order to perform roller forming analysis, tensile tests of structural steel pipe are performed and mechanical properties are analyzed. Roller forming process parameters such as radius and depth of roller grooves are derived using the incompressible condition of plastic deformation theory and the results of finite element roller forming analysis. Using the derived roller shape, a roller forming machine is developed and prototypes of the small gas spring are manufactured. Finally, the dimensional accuracy of the manufactured gas spring prototypes is analyzed through three-dimensional shape measurement.

Due to environmental pollution, regulations on existing petroleum-based fuels are increasing day by day. LNG is in the spotlight as an eco-friendly fuel that does not emit NOx or SOx, but its boiling point is -163°C, so it needs to be handled with care. Materials that can be used at the above temperature are defined by IMO through the IGC Code. Among them, 9% nickel steel has great advantages in yield strength and tensile strength under cryogenic conditions, but it is difficult to use in arc welding such as FCAW for various reasons. This study is a study to apply fiber laser welding to solve this problem. As a previous study, this study conducted a study to find a welding heat source. After performing bead on plate welding, the optimal heat source was derived by analyzing the shape of the bead and adjusting the parameters of the heat source model. In this case, by applying the multi-island genetic algorithm, which is a global optimization algorithm, not the intuition of the researcher, accurate results could be derived in a wide range.

The respirometric technique has been used to analyze the nitrification process in a sequencing batch reactor(SBR) treating municipal wastewater. Especially the profile of the respiration rate very well expressed the reaction characteristics of nitrification. As the nitrification process required a significant amount of oxygen for nitrogen oxidation, the respiration rate due to nitrification was high. The maximum nitrification respiration rate, which was about 50 mg O2/L･h under the period of sufficient nitrification, was related directly to the nitrification reaction rate and showed the nitrifiers activity. The growth rate of nitrifiers is the most critical parameter in the design of the biological nutrient removal systems. On the basis of nitrification kinetics, the maximum specific growth rate of nitrifiers in the SBR was estimated as 0.91 d-1 at 20℃, and the active biomass of nitrifiers was calculated as 23 mg VSS/L and it was about 2% of total biomass.

본 연구는 엽록소형광반응 분석을 이용하여 건조스트레스에 의한 공정육묘의 광화학적 활력을 분석하였다. 토마토와 오이 공정육묘를 8일 동안 건조스트레스 처리를 하였다. 엽록소형광반응 (OJIP)과 매개변수 분석을 통해 건조스트레스로 인한 작물의 광화학적 변동을 평가하였다. 엽록소 형광반응 (OJIP) 분석 결과, 토마토는 처리 후 5일부터 최대 형광량 (P)이 감소한 반면 J-I 단계에서는 엽록소 형광량이 증가하였다. 따라서 생리적 활력이 감소한 것을 알 수 있었다. 오이의 경우 처리 후 4일부터 최대 형광 (P) 및 변동 형광량 (FV)이 낮아지고 J-I 단계의 엽록소 형광 수치가 증가하였다. 엽록소 형광 매개변수 분석한 결과 토마토는 처리 후 5일부터 특히 ET2O/RC와 RE1O/RC가 감소하면서 광계II와 광계I의 전자전달효율이 유의적으로 낮아진 것으로 보인 반면 오이는 처리 후 4일부터 ET2O/RC와 PIABS가 상당히 변화하였다. 결론적으로 FV/FM, DIO/RC, ET2O/RC, RE1O/RC, PIABS, PITOTALABS 6개의 지표가 공정육묘의 건조스트레스를 판단하는 지표로 선정되었다. 건조스트레스지수 (DFI)를 통해 건조스트레스로 인한 작물별 건전성 평가를 하였고 오이의 경우 토마토에 비해 건조 저항성이 낮은 것으로 판단되었다.

An ultra-high temperature ceramic, tantalum carbide, has received much attention for its favorable characteristics: a superior melting point and chemical compatibility with carbon and other carbides. One drawback is the high temperature erosion of carbon/carbon (C/C) composites. To address this drawback, we deposited TaC on C/C with silicon carbide as an intermediate layer. Prior to the TaC deposition, the TaCl5-C3H6-H2 system was thermodynamically analyzed with FactSage 6.2 and compared with the TaCl5-CH4-H2 system. The results confirmed that the TaCl5-C3H6-H2 system had a more realistic cost and deposition efficiency than TaCl5-CH4-H2. A dense and uniform TaC layer was successfully deposited under conditions of Ta/C = 0.5, 1200 oC and 100 torr. This study verified that the thermodynamic analysis is appropriate as a guide and prerequisite for carbide deposition.

Although most of the automobile bodies are made of steel, the application of aluminum alloy sheet with high strength is under consideration for the development of environmentally friendly lightweight body for fuel economy improvement and carbon dioxide emission reduction. In the case of some inner plates, application of magnesium alloy sheet is examined. TRB plate has been studied mainly for weight reduction and rigidity reinforcement of steel plate parts. Recently, research on aluminum TRB rolled plate for light and environment friendly automobile application has been started, It is expected that the development of eco - friendly TRB rolling material made of light alloy will increase as the importance of light weight body for future energy efficiency increases. Therefore, in this study, we tried to obtain the technology to improve the quality of the product by pre - verifying the cooling performance of the hot forming process through the heat flow analysis and evaluating the cooling performance through the temperature distribution analysis. As a result, it was found that the temperature distribution through the flow velocity problem and the flow of the cooling channel can influence the quality of the final product through different heat distribution and cooling time depending on the shape of the mold and the product.

Particle morphology change and different experimental condition analysis during composite fabrication process by traditional ball milling with discrete element method (DEM) simulation were investigated. A simulation of the three dimensional motion of balls in a traditional ball mill for research on the grinding mechanism was carried out by DEM simulation. We studied the motion of the balls, the ball behavior energy and velocity; the forces acting on the balls were calculated using traditional ball milling as simulated by DEM. The effect of the operational variables such as the rotational speed, ball material and size on the flow velocity, collision force and total impact energy were analyzed. The results showed that increased rotation speed with interaction impact energy between balls and balls, balls and pots and walls and balls. The rotation speed increases with an increase of the impact energy. Experiments were conducted to quantify the grinding performance under the same conditions. Furthermore, the results showed that ball motion affects the particle morphology, which changed from irregular type to plate type with increasing rotation speed. The evolution was also found to depend on the impact energy increase of the grinding media. These findings are useful to understand and optimize the particle motion and grinding behavior of traditional ball mills.

정삼투와 압력지연삼투 공정에서 용매의 투과율은 용매와 막이 접촉하는 방식에 의존한다. 각각의 공정에서 막의 활성층이 고농도 용매와 접촉하는 경우를 압력지연삼투 방식이라 하고, 고농도 용매가 막의 다공성 지지하층과 직면해 있는 경우를 정삼투 방식이라고 한다. 압력지연삼투 방식과 정삼투 방식은 각각 희석형 그리고 농축형의 내부농도 분극 현상을 유발하는데, 동일한 조작 조건에서 정삼투 방식보다 압력지연삼투 방식이 높은 투과율을 나타내는 현상이 실험적으로 관측되었다. 본고에서는 정삼투방식과 압력지연삼투 방식에서 발생하는 본질적인 투과율 불균형을 수학적 귀류법을 이용하여 증명하고, 물리적인 원인을 규명한다.

In this study, the behavior of densification of copper powders during high-pressure torsion (HPT) at room temperature is investigated using the finite element method. The simulation results show that the center of the workpiece is the first to reach the true density of copper during the compressive stage because the pressure is higher at the center than the periphery. Subsequently, whole workpiece reaches true density after compression due to the high pressure. In addition, the effective strain is increased along the radius during torsional stage. After one rotation, the periphery shows that the effective strain is increased up to 25, which is extensive deformation. These high pressure and severe strain do not only play a key role in consolidation of copper powders but also make the matrix harder by grain refinement.

The SMC(Sheet molding compound) process is widely used in the automotive industry to produce parts that are large, thin, lightweight, strong and stiff. Compression molded parts are formed by squeezing a glass fiber reinforced UP(Unsaturated Polyester) sheet, known as sheet mold compound(SMC), between two heated cavity surfaces. This paper has performed flow analysis to predict optimization process of low density SMC. After five types of design variables and six types of response variables were defined, DOE(Design of Experiment) and RSM (Response Surface Method) were applied in order to measure sensitivity of design variables and realize optimization through regression model. After design optimization, the total warpage of the SMC is reduced by about 12% compared to the initial design of SMC and cure time, cure temperature, clamping force and flow pressure are decreased by 0.6∼27% in comparison with the initial design. By doing this, the production costs could be diminished.

To fabricate a precise micro metal mold, the electrochemical etching process has been researched. We investigated the electrochemical etching process numerically and experimentally to determine the etching tendency of the process, focusing on the current density, which is a major parameter of the process. The finite element method, a kind of numerical analysis, was used to determine the current density distribution on the workpiece. Stainless steel(SS304) substrate with various sized square and circular array patterns as an anode and copper(Cu) plate as a cathode were used for the electrochemical experiments. A mixture of H2SO4, H3PO4, and DIW was used as an electrolyte. In this paper, comparison of the results from the experiment and the numerical simulation is presented, including the current density distribution and line profile from the simulation, and the etching profile and surface morphology from the experiment. Etching profile and surface morphology were characterized using a 3D-profiler and FE-SEM measurement. From a comparison of the data, it was confirmed that the current density distribution and the line profile of the simulation were similar to the surface morphology and the etching profile of the experiment, respectively. The current density is more concentrated at the vertex of the square pattern and circumference of the circular pattern. And, the depth of the etched area is proportional to the current density.

본 연구에서는 기공의 크기가 0.4mum의 소수성 막인 폴리에틸렌 100가닥으로 모듈을 제작하여 직접접촉식과 동반기체식 막증류 과정에서 막의 양단의 온도차, 공급수의 염분농도, 그리고 냉각수/동반기체의 유량에 대해서 투과수의 플럭스를 측정하였다. 이론적으로는, 동반기체식 막증류는 직접접촉식 막증류 공정의 막의 투과측 표면과 냉각수 사이에 동반 기체층이 추가된 것으로 간주하였다. 이 동반기체층은 새로운 저항층과과 동반기체의 이동중 상변화된 수증기가 손실되는 것이 투과유속을 30% 정도 감소시키게 된다. 물질수지식을 이용하여, 기존의 식과는 다르게 보정계수(ω)를 넣어 직접접촉식 막증류와 동반기체식 막증류의 이론값을 실험값과 비교 분석하였다.

한국형 기준 처분시스템의 공학적 방벽에서의 열-수리-역학 복합 현상을 실증하기 위한 공학적 규모 실증실험 장치인 KENTEX에서 얻은 열, 수리, 역학적 실험 데이터를 이용하여 벤토나이트의 포화공정을 해석하였다. ABAQUS를 사용한 모델계산의 함수율과 실험 결과의 비교에서 불포화 영역에서는 온도상승으로 인해 초기 수분이 감소하는 수분 재분포 공정을 모델에 포함시키지 않아 함수율의 차가 컸다. 포화영역에서는 실험에서 초기 수분보다 낮은 함수율에서부터 지하수로 포화가 진행되지만 모델과 실험에서 얻은 함수율 값의 차이가 점점 감소해 완전포화에 도달할 때에는 두 함수율 값이 거의 비슷한 결과를 보여주었다. 포화도 약 95%에 이르는 시간은 실험결과와 계산 결과가 서로 비슷한 약 500일 정도로 예측할수 있었다. 그리고 불포화 영역의 수분 재분포가 벤토나이트의 완전포화에 도달하는 시간에는 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 본 해석기법을 사용하면 지하처분연구시설의 완충재인 벤토나이트의 포화시간을 예측할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

막증류는 소수성이 강한 0.1 내지 0.5μm의 정밀여과막을 통하여 휘발도가 상대적으로 큰 성분을 증발시켜 분리하는 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 중공사형 분리막을 이용한 직접접촉식 막증류 공정을 "COMSOL Multiphysics" 프로그램을 이용하여 수치해석 하였으며 유체의 유입온도, lumen 및 shell side 공급 유속의 변화로 인한 투과량의 변화를 해석하였다. Lumen 공급용액의 온도가 30 에서 50℃까지 증가할 경우 막증류 투과량은 1.0에서 3.8 L/㎡·hr 까지 증가하였으나 shell 유체온도 영향은 상대적으로 낮았다. 또한 lumen 공급유속에 따른 막증류 투과량과 운전 압력손실을 고려할 경우 0.15 m/s (ReL = 135)일 때 가장 효율적임을 확인하였다.
