본 연구에서는 상용 폴리염화비닐을 개질하여 두 종류의 PVC 기반 이온교환용 고분자를 성공적으로 제조하였다. 이후 개질된 두 이온교환 고분자를 활용한 전기방사 공정과 열 압착 공정을 거쳐 2차원 계면(2D-PVC-BPM)과 3차원 접합부 (3D-PVC-BPM)를 갖는 바이폴라막(BPM)을 제조하였다. 제조된 3D-PVC-BPM은 2D-PVC-BPM에 비해 우수한 물 분해 효율 및 안정성을 보였다. 구체적으로, 300 mA cm-2의 고전류 밀도에서 3D-PVC-BPM은 2D-PVC-BPM가 나타낸 전위보다 4.4 V 낮은 8.05 V의 막 전위를 나타냈다. 더욱이, PVC 주쇄가 가진 내화학성 덕분에 3D-PVC-BPM은 가혹한 조건에서도 높은 화 학적 안정성을 보였고, 이는 4 M H2SO4 및 4 M NaOH 용액에 28일간 침지한 후 관측된 질량 손실이 각각 2.8%와 2.1%에 그친 것을 통해 입증되었다. 끝으로, 3차원 접합부가 3D-PVC-BPM에 맞물림(interlocking) 효과와 넓은 계면면적을 제공해준 덕분에 3D-PVC-BPM의 인장 강도는 36 MPa를 초과했고 신장률 또한 약 50%에 이르는 등 우수한 기계적 물성을 나타냈다.

This study investigates the structural stability of a telescopic arm designed for a painting robot through finite element analysis (FEA). As factory automation progresses, robots are increasingly used to replace hazardous tasks like painting. However, the heavy weight of telescopic arms poses significant control challenges. This research specifically examines the structural stability of a 7.4-meter telescopic arm, designed for use in a 14m x 14m large-scale block painting environment. The telescopic arm consists of six steel links, each ranging from 700 mm to 1500 mm, and supports a 50 kg painting robot mounted at the end of Link 6. Using Dassault System’s Abaqus2022 software, simulations were performed in both stretched and rotated modes to analyze self-weight effects and structural stability. The results revealed maximum deflection of 92.3 mm in stretched mode and 127.3 mm in rotated mode, with the highest stress concentration of 416.8 MPa occurring at the Link 3 and Link 4 connection. To improve stability, additional reinforcement materials and an increase in connector thickness from 40 mm to 80 mm were applied, successfully reducing maximum stress to 94.3 MPa. These findings suggest an effective enhancement in the stability of the telescopic arm under various operational modes.

In this study, we developed a new electric low-height beds mechanism with a stable driven rack and pinion by analyzing the current state of existing beds development and supplementing shortcomings of the beds. Structural safety is evaluated through Finite-Element-Analysis using a simulation method applying existing elevate system types and a new type. Furthermore, we designed and manufactured a trial bed with increased variable height considering medical instrument standards to use both for home and hospital. The elevation mechanism suggested in this study could be valuable to electric beds development.

In a self-level riser, the piston rod generates hydraulic pressure while reciprocating along the pump rod, so components such as rods and valves require precise processing technology. Among them, the design of the pump rod was changed to a spiral groove method because there was a risk of poor operation during eccentricity. In this paper, the design and 3D modeling of the pump rod were conducted, and the structural stability of the core part according to the load change applied to the pump rod was confirmed.

As the demand for high-speed and high-precision machining increases, the need for cooling and filtering of cutting oil is high. A new concept of coolant heat exchange filter is developed by installing cooling coil through which refrigerant(R410-a) passes through the coolant filtering device. For structural safety evaluation of the heat exchanger filter for cutting oil suppling device of machine tool, thermal stress and vibration analysis were performed using ANSYS program. The results of structural and thermal stress analyses have led to the conclusion that the cooling system has structural stability. From modal analysis, first natural frequency is 12.37 hz and deformation is 22.041 mm. Sixth natural frequency is 26.887 hz and deformation is 25.563 mm.

The aim of this paper is to clarify the structural stability of 30m fly(maximum working radius of 30m) and telescopic boom with composition. In order to reduce the weight and insulate, the boom of special vehicle has a 3-stage telescopic boom of DOMEX960, pocket part of acetal, 2-stage refracting boom of ATOS80, insulation boom of glass fiber composition and effector. In this process, CATIA is applied to create 3D modeling, then ANSYS are performed the structural analysis. The structural analysis is performed for a case where the thickness of the insulating boom of the ATOS 80 is 7[㎜] and the thickness of the insulating boom of the FRP material is 15[㎜] and 16[㎜].

As fires have frequently occurred with large scale at cultural assets and warehouses, the development of Korean type demolition fire apparatus for efficient fire fighting becomes important. In this study, structural stability is investigated for assembly model of boom and outrigger by using computational structural analysis. Analysis results of boom and outrigger unit are also compared with assembly model. As this study result, equivalent stress result of boom unit is about 6% higher than assembly model and equivalent stress result of outrigger unit is about 15% higher than assembly model.

Wind load is known to be one of major forces to influence the stability of agricultural structures. General flow fields were calculated to determine flow characteristics over the envelop of the following three types of greenhouses with arched roof : single span, twin span greenhouses, and two single span greenhouses apart 3m inbetween. Pressure coefficients along the envelop of greenhouse were numerically calculated by the k-ε turbulence model, which lead to determine wind forces on it. Curvilinear coordinate for an arched roof and the upwind scheme were adopted for the study. The calculated pressure coefficients were validated with the avaliable data of Japanese Standard and NGAM Standard. The Magnitude of calculated forces over the envelop was not in good accordance with data except the windward wall. Even tile data of Japanese and NGAM Standard for validation deviated a lot from each other in quantity and quality. Such discrepancy may be attributed to different geometric and/or flow configuration conditions for experiments, or the insenstivity of the k-ε turbulence model to recirculation flow.
