We continue to develop a micro wind power system such as horizontal and vertical axis turbines using open source CAE software, such xfrl5, Qblade and OpenFOAM. These open-source CAE software are not only cost-effective but also highly useful and having enough functionality for such development purposes. In this report, we present the flow of development process of the system and introduce how to use such open-source software during designing and evaluation processes. From experiences of utilization of them during R&D and students’ educations, it was confirmed that open-source CAE software are also very attractive for educating communication skills of students with foreign users and groups, which is important for global-working engineers today.

In Fukushima accident on 2011, after the loss of both the emergency core cooling system and IC core cooling, primary containment vessel (PCV) pressure increased. Water level measurement drifted because of water evaporation in the reference leg. Radiation level increased at a turbine building (T/B). There was a hydrogen explosion the after the suppression chamber (S/C) wet venting. By using the FCVS technology, the such the risk reduction during severe accidents in NPPs were attained. But owing to the global warming, the risk of natural hazards are increased, such as typhoon, hard rain, hot summer, severe snowfall, melt snow in north pole and south pole. It is very important to reduce CO2 emission by best mix of utilizing renewable energy and the safety enhanced nuclear power plants.

The advent of smart agriculture in Japan has resulted in significant labor productivity gains and increases in the quality of agricultural products through the active use of knowledge and techniques from a variety of fields, including ICT and robotics. ICT has been introduced to reduce the labor of water management, and at the same time achieve high quality cultivation. Several water management systems with ICT have already been commercialized and are in widespread use. In addition, we have nearly completed development of an autopilot transplanter, which will be made available commercially in the near future through technological transfer to agricultural machinery makers and has the following features: (1) rice planting, normally carried out by two persons, can be performed by one person feeding seedlings; (2) rice planting is automated except for the perimeter of fields; (3) paths need not be pre-programed; and (4) even compared to skilled operators, planting becomes more accurate with its high-speed turning and operation abilities.

The flight trajectory of a soccer ball is strongly influenced by aerodynamic characteristics such as drag and lift coefficient. These characteristics are known to depend on the air flow around the ball and the vortex structure developed by that flow. This study aims to clarify the dominant vortex structures of a spinning soccer ball using a free flight test. In this study, we found that large-scale counter-rotating vortex pairs are one of the dominant vortex structures for a spinning soccer ball. The large-scale fluctuation of the side force on the spinning ball was also determined to be smaller than that on the non-spinning ball. These findings show that the flight trajectory of the spinning ball is regular and stable, and hence a curled shot or pass can be aimed precisely from the beginning of its course.

The transistor technology is one of the fundamental technologies that support the information society. The transistor has been developed according to Moore's law over the past several decades. The transistor technology has been confronted with limitation of technology in many times, but engineers have overcome these limitations by developing various technical methods.
"Physical limit" is approaching that the transistor's line width becomes the level of atomic size. Transistor technology is stepping into areas where Moore's law cannot be applied. Several technical methods have also been proposed to overcome the physical limit. This paper outlines the history of transistor technology, and also introduces the direction of current technology.

In the field of design, innovative ideation at the upstream stage of design process has been becoming important for making people’s life and society better as well as for being industrially competitive. In this paper, the author proposes a framework of collaborative intelligence for innovative design ideation utilizing inspiration of human intelligence and systematicity of artificial intelligence. In the framework, structure (S), function (F) and user experience (UX) of existing characteristic design examples are described as a design delta map and stored in the database. A software exhaustively estimates similarity of S, F and UX among design examples and presents pairs of design examples which may effective to trigger human ideation such as a pair of design examples where F’s are not similar but UX’s are similar between them. A Python implementation of the framework and some results of trials are presented to estimate effectiveness of the framework.

In order to improve both the crash safety and the fuel efficiency, various shapes of thin-walled structures have been utilized as energy absorbers of automobiles based on the progressive buckling mechanism. In this study, the dynamic crushing behavior of metal honeycombs was studied with laying emphasis on the effects of strain rate, cell geometry and oblique impact on its energy absorption characteristics. Numerical models of some materials were made by considering the adhesive layer and the initial imperfection, and the strain rate dependence of honeycomb structure on the energy absorption capacity was discussed as compared with the corresponding experimental results. Furthermore, the branch angle of cell geometry and the crush angle were also varied to evaluate their effects. Oblique impact loading causes the transition from axial collapse to bending collapse, so that the mean buckling load at the crush angle of 45° was 30–50% smaller than that at the vertical angle.

To shorten the resin impregnation time of fiber metal laminate (aluminum alloy/GFRP laminates) during VaRTM process, mesh layers made of polyamide (PA) are inserted between aluminum alloy and GF layers. The resin impregnation experiment with fiber optic sensors has shown that the resin impregnation time is shortened due to the out-of-plane flow to the PA mesh via the circular holes in the metal layer which are introduced so that a resin distribution medium can be adapted to the VaRTM process for FML. The resin impregnation behavior was also clarified by control volume / finite element analysis. Drop-weight impact tests for the FMLs fabricated by VaRTM process show that higher energy is absorbed during impact loading by the laminates with the PA meshes inserted. This can be attributed to the interlaminar toughening between aluminum alloy and GFRP layers by inserting PA meshes.
