In this article, to solve the problems about obsolescence of parts and unable to driving turret when internal components are failure, the DC-DC boost converter in the gun/turret drive system of mobile weapon was improved. The power converting circuit in converter is changed by applying the latest components, and the control circuit is changed from analog to digital. Also, the power converting circuits were modularized in three parallel so that it could be driven even when some components failed. The improved DC-DC boost converter secured stability such as converting to voltage in a linear manner in the entire section from the start of boosting to the end. Also, through the modular configuration, turret driving system can operates when some components failed.

Weight-based exercise equipment is unreasonable because of its large weight or volume and has limitations in use at home. On top of that, it is not easy to control the weight of domestic muscular exercise devices such as dumbbells and latex bands. This study proposes a new type of exercise equipment that can be used at home by modifying the exercise equipment used in fitness centers. Home training exercise equipment has been optimized by replacing the weight of strength training equipment, which is the core of weight control, with electric motors. For optimal design, process integration and design optimization (PIANO), a commercial PIDO tool, was analyzed in conjunction with DAFUL, a multi-body dynamics analysis program. When formulating the optimal design, the objective function was to minimize the weight, and the shape of the pinwheel and pulley used in exercise equipment was proposed considering the stress of cables as design constraints. As a result of optimization, design proposals were derived while meeting the design requirements and reduced by 5% compared to the initial model. In this work, we have miniaturized the shape of exercise equipment compared to conventional exercise equipment by optimizing its shape.

The purpose of this study is to develop precast concrete modules that can be used as a booth and a single-story building with a large space. This precast concrete module is originally designed to have a hexagonal facade when the upper and lower parts, which are symmetrical about horizontal connection line, are combined. A structural design was conducted to ensure structural safety of these precast concrete modules and to extend the slope of the inclined members as far as possible. Then the finite element analysis was performed to estimate the lateral and vertical deflection of complete precast concrete modular structures. And to verify the structural safety of these precast concrete modules, weight loading tests were conducted on the upper and lower modules respectively.

본 연구에서는 대면적을 지니는 CDI 모듈의 흐름 향상을 위하여 유체가 들어가는 유입구로부터 면적이 증가하는 직사각형 형태의 유로를 설계하였다. 이를 바탕으로 설계된 모듈 형태에 대해 공급수의 흐름성과 사영역의 유무를 파악하였고 CFD 전산 유체 역학 프로그램을 통해 유로 내의 내부 압력, 유선 그리고 속도 벡터 분포를 분석하였으며 실제 흐름 관측과 CFD 프로그램을 비교 분석하였다. 실험 결과 모든 유속 10, 20, 30 mL/min에서 유로 내 사영역이 거의 발생하지 않았으며 공급수의 흐름성도 일정하게 유지되어 추후 대면적을 가지는 CDI 공정에 적용이 가능할 것이라 판단된다.

BSA 단백질 용액의 전량 막여과에서 상용(commercial) 막모듈의 경사각 변화에 따라 발생된 자연대류 불안정 흐름(NCIF)의 투과 플럭스 증가 효과를 측정한 결과, 막모듈의 경사각이 0°에서 180°로 증가하면 NCIF 발생이 커져 플럭스가 증가하였다. 그러나 상용 막모듈은 모듈 내에 존재하는 공기층을 완전히 제거해야 NCIF를 발생시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서 설계 제작된 custom design 막모듈은 crossward 방향(90°)으로 막투과가 이루어져 모듈 상부에 공기층이 존재하더라도 항상 NCIF가 발생된다. Custom design 막모듈에서 BSA와 dextran 용액의 막여과 실험을 수행한 결과, NCIF의 발생으로 2시간 조작 시 BSA 용액의 경우 약 3.8배, dextran 용액의 경우 약 1.8배까지 투과 플럭스가 증가하였다. 또한 BSA 용액을 대상으로 한 20시간의 조작에서도 NCIF의 발생이 지속되어 플럭스가 약 7.5배까지 증가하였다. 본 연구에서 설계된 막모듈은 항상 NCIF가 발생되므로 막오염 형성 억제에 따른 투과 플럭스 증가를 기대할 수 있어 전량여과 막모듈로서의 활용성이 있음을 확인하였다.

기후변화에 따른 영향으로 전 세계적으로 물부족 문제는 지속적으로 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 이러한 물부족 문제를 해결하기 위하여 다양한 대체수자원 확보기술이 개발되고 있으며, 그 중에 해수담수화 기술이 가장 활발하게 도입되고 있다. 최근 새로운 개념의 해수담수화 기술이 검토되고 있으며, 그 중 막증발법(Membrane distillation, MD) 기술이 활발하게 연구되고 있다. 국토교통부 국가연구개발사업으로 진행 중인 “Global MVP 연구단”에서는 세계 최대 규모인 400 m³/일 규모의 복합탈염 플랜트를 구축하고 있으며, 국산 중공사 막증발 모듈을 이용하여 새로운 개념의 복합탈염 설계기술과 구축기술을 확보하고자 현재 다양한 연구를 진행 중에 있다.

최근 정삼투 기술 연구는 정삼투막 물질이동, 다양한 분야 적용과 관련된 연구가 주로 수행되었다. 정삼투 공정 실용화를 위해서는 공정설계와 관련 된 파일럿 규모 연구가 추가적으로 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 평판형 정삼투 모듈을 이용하여 운전조건(유도용액 및 유입수 유량과 농도, 모듈 개수)에 따른 모듈 성 능을 분석하고, 이를 바탕으로 정삼투 공정 설계 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 직렬로 연결된 평막 모듈의 개수가 증가함에 따라 운전압력이 증가하였으나, 나권 형 모듈에 비해 압력 증가량이 낮아 평막 모듈 형태가 정삼투 공정 스케일 업에 적합하다고 판단된다. 유입수 유량대비 막면적은 삼투압차를 근거로 예측한 회수율을 얻는 주요 인자임을 제시하였고, 이를 바탕으로 정삼투 공정설계 연구 결과를 나타내었다.

The sinking seat is the mounted seat in rear columns of recreational vehicle. The convenience of sinking seat is lower than folding seat because the paths of the containment and withdrawal are different each other. In this paper, the cam shape design model which is related recliner apparatus was introduced of the folding path of the existing manual system sinking seat. And the validity of the design variable was verified through the dynamic mechanics simulation using RecurDyn. but, the transformation-time graph of cam link joint position in RecurDyn is unstable because it is not consideration of friction.

Modern systems development becomes more and more complicated due to the need on the ever-increasing capability of the systems. In addition to the complexity issue, safety concern is also increasing since the malfunctions of the systems under development may result in the accidents in both the test and evaluation phase and the operation phase. Those accidents can cause disastrous damages if explosiveness gets involved therein such as in weapon systems development. The subject of this paper is on how to incorporate safety requirements in the design of safety-critical systems. As an approach, a useful system structure using the method of design structure matrix (DSM) is studied while reflecting the need on systems safety. Specifically, the effects of system components failure are analyzed and numerically modeled first. Also, the system components are identified and their interfaces are represented using a component DSM. Combining the results of the failure analysis and the component DSM leads to a modified DSM. By rearranging the resultant DSM, a modular structure is derived with safety requirements incorporated. As a case study, application of the approach is also discussed in the development of a military UAV plane.

Platform-based product family design is recognized as an effective method to satisfy the mass customization which is a current market trend. In order to design platform-based product family successfully, it is the key work to define a good product platform, which is to identify the common modules that will be shared among the product family. In this paper the clustering analysis using dendrogram is proposed to capture the common modules of the platform. The clustering variables regarding both marketing and engineering sides are derived from the view point of top-down product development. A case study of a cordless drill/drive product family is presented to illustrate the feasibility and validity of the overall procedure developed in this research.

At present, the significance of a new manufacturing system that can shift from ‘mass production’ and consider life cycles of a product is pointed out and extremely expected. In such a situation, it is recognized that the modular design, often called ‘unit design,’ is the important design methodology which realizes the new production system enabling ‘cost reduction,’ ‘flexible production of a multi-functional artifact,’ ‘settlement of an environmental issue,’ and so on. A module (unit) of a product is generally defined as ‘the parts group made into the sub-system from a certain specific viewpoint.’ So far, there have been many researches related to the modular design. However, they are often limited to a certain viewpoint (objective). This paper proposes a simple but effective method for multi-objective modular design. In the proposed method, a new design metric, called similarity index, is proposed to evaluate the modular design candidates from the multiple viewpoints.
