Recently, considerable attention has been given to nickel-based superalloys used in additive manufacturing. However, additive manufacturing is limited by a slow build rate in obtaining optimal densities. In this study, optimal volumetric energy density (VED) was calculated using optimal process parameters of IN718 provided by additive manufacturing of laser powder-bed fusion. The laser power and scan speed were controlled using the same ratio to maintain the optimal VED and achieve a fast build rate. Cube samples were manufactured using seven process parameters, including an optimal process parameter. Analysis was conducted based on changes in density and melt-pool morphology. At a low laser power and scan speed, the energy applied to the powder bed was proportional to and not . At a high laser power and scan speed, a curved track was formed due to Plateau-Rayleigh instability. However, a wide melt-pool shape and continuous track were formed, which did not significantly affect the density. We were able to verify the validity of the VED formula and succeeded in achieving a 75% higher build rate than that of the optimal parameter, with a slight decrease in density and hardness.

In this study, a winch and load motion control system design method is introduced. Especially, the winch and load (moving cart) are connected with long wire rope which is extended to few kilometers long. Therefore, the rope length changes such that many dynamic parameter values are changed as well by winding and releasing the rope from the winch system. In this paper, the authors designed the control system by considering the real time parameter variation to occupy and keep good control performance continuously. The effectiveness of introduced method was evaluated by simulation results.

Recently, the production cycle in manufacturing process has been getting shorter and different types of product have been produced in the same process line. In this case, the control chart using coefficient of variation would be applicable to the process. The theory that random variables are located in the three times distance of the deviation from mean value is applicable to the control chart that monitor the process in the manufacturing line, when the data of process are changed by the type of normal distribution. It is possible to apply to the control chart of coefficient of variation too.  ,  estimates that taken in the coefficient of variation have just used all of the data, but the upper control limit, center line and lower control limit have been settled by the effect of abnormal values, so this control chart could be in trouble of detection ability of the assignable value. The purpose of this study was to present the robust control chart than coefficient of variation control chart in the normal process. To perform this research, the location parameter, xα, sα were used. The robust control chart was named Tim-CV control chart. The result of simulation were summarized as follows; First, P values, the probability to get away from control limit, in Trim-CV control chart were larger than CV control chart in the normal process. Second, ARL values, average run length, in Trim-CV control chart were smaller than CV control chart in the normal process. Particularly, the difference of performance of two control charts was so sure when the change of the process was getting to bigger. Therefore, the Trim-CV control chart proposed in this paper would be more efficient tool than CV control chart in small quantity batch production.

Control charts are generally used for process control, but the role of traditional control charts have been limited in case of a contaminated process. Traditional x control charts have not been activated well for such a problem because of trying to control processes as center line and control limits changed by the contaminated value. This paper is to propose robust x control charts which is considering a location parameter in order to respond to contaminated process. In this paper, we consider x, that is trimmed rate; typically ten percent rate is used. By comparing with p, ARL value, the responding results are decided. The comparison resultant results of proposed two control charts are shown and are well contrasted.

Even though the ad hoc Shewhart methods remain controversial due to various mathematical flaws, there is little disagreement among researchers and practitioners when a set of process data has a skewness distribution. In the context and language of process control, the error related to the process data shows that time to signal increases when a control parameter shifts to a skewness direction. In real-world industrial settings, however, quality practitioners often need to consider a skewness distribution. To address this situation, we developed an enhanced design method to utilize advantages of the traditional attribute control chart and to overcome its associated shortcomings. The proposed design method minimizes bias, i.e., an average time to signal for the shift of process from the target value (ATS) curve, as well as it applies a variable sampling interval (VSI) method to an attribute control chart for detecting a process shift efficiently. The results of the factorial experiment obtained by various parameter circumstances show that the VSI c control chart using nearly unbiased ATS design provides the smallest decreasing rate in ATS among other charts for all experimental cases.

Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) and viscoelastic damper (VED) is a well-known vibration absorbing equipment in the civil engineering realm. Although the dampers are typically used separately, combined use of dampers worth investigation. For that purpose, a numerical model of multi-story building equipped with TMD and VED was developed using finite element software SAP2000. In this study, modal parameter based distribution of hybrid damper system (HDS) using Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) and viscoelastic damper (VED) together has been adopted to reduce the seismic response of the structure.

본 연구는 성인과 노인을 대상으로 한손-양손 동작전환에 신체척도 비율이 제어변수로 작용하는지 알아 보고, 그 비율이 Van der Kamp, Savelsbergh & Davis(1998)의 연구에서 밝힌 아동의 신체척도 비율과 비교하여 모든 연령에 적용되는 공통된 지각변수가 될 수 있는지 알아보는 것이다. 이를 위하여 성인, 노인 각 17명씩 총 34명을 대상으로 판지로 만든 크기 3.2cm에서 18.2cm의 정육면체 상자(한 변의 길이가 1cm) 총 16개의 상자를 한손 또는 양손으로 잡아 5cm 높이의 장애물을 넘겨 30cm 떨어진 목표 지점으로 옮기는 과제를 수행하였다. 수집된 자료로 반복측정에 의한 이원분산분석을 실시한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 성인과 노인의 한손-양손 동작전환이 일어나는 시점에서 절대적인 손 크기에는 차이가 있었지만 손 크기에 대한 물체크기의 비율인 신체척도 비율에는 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 둘째, 성인과 노인의 신체척도 비율을 이전의 Van der Kamp 등(1998)의 연구에서 밝힌 아동의 신체척도 비율과 간접 비교해 본 결과 비율의 크기에서 차이가 있었다. 셋째, 성인과 노인에서 제어변수의 증거인 Sudden jump, Enhanced variance가 나타났으나, Hysteresis는 정확하게 나타나지 않았다. 결론적으로, 성인과 노인의 신체척도 비율은 Sudden jump와 Enhanced variance의 결과를 통해 한손-양손 잡기 동작 전환에 제어변수로 작용한 것을 확인할 수 있었으나 전 연령대에 걸친 공통된 지각변수로 보기에는 어렵다고 보여진다.

컨테이너 크레인의 수학적 모델 정확도는 모델 내부 파라미터 값의 정확도에 의해 결정되나, 기술적 혹은 환경적인 문제로 내부 파라미터의 정확한 값을 알지 못하는 경우가 발생하기도 한다. 이 경우에는 시스템의 입 출력 데이터에 근거하여 모델의 파라미터를 추정해야 하는데, 본 논문에서는 입 출력 데이터와 RCGA가 결합된 모델조정기법을 이용하여 모형 컨테이너 크레인 선형모델의 파라미터를 추정하는 방법을 보인다. 또한, 이렇게 추정한 모델에 또 다른 RCGA를 적용하여 제어에 필요한 이득행렬을 탐색한다. 제안하는 파라미터 추정법과 제어기법은 컨테이너 크레인의 모형실험장치에 적용하고, 실험을 실시하여 그 유효성을 검증한다.
