Hyundai i-oniq. The Hyundai i-oniq (also known as the i.oniq and HED-8) was a concept sporty three-door hatchback designed and built by Hyundai Motor Corporation that featured a battery electric powertrain supplemented by a range extending gasoline engine, introduced in March 2012 at the Geneva Motor Show. Its name is a portmanteau of the words "ion" and "unique", which was later reused in 2016 when Hyundai began selling the Hyundai Ioniq. Hyundai subsequently launched the sub-brand Ioniq in 2020 to market electric vehicles built on the E-GMP architecture.

Design

Hyundai state the i-oniq follows the "fluidic sculpture" design language introduced in 2010 with the i-flow concept vehicle. It was designed at the Hyundai Motor Europe Technical Centre in Russelsheim, Germany, under the leadership of Thomas Bürkle. The vehicle has an alternative name, HED-8, which derives from its design origin (Hyundai Europe Design); these are analogous to the HCD-nn line of Hyundai concept vehicles designed at the Hyundai California Design (HCD) Studio.

The i-oniq concept is equipped with a battery electric powertrain, with a lithium-ion battery supplying power to a  motor over a claimed range of . When the battery is exhausted, a small, 1.0-litre three-cylinder gasoline engine with an output of  can be used with a  generator to supply electricity to the motor, for a total claimed range of . With the range extending engine operating, the vehicle is claimed to emit  of .

The instrument panel and steering wheel touchscreen displays were designed by MESO Digital Interiors GmbH, using small projectors and Pepper's ghost illusions to provide depth and conform to the complex surface curvature. The seating surface and exterior colors were developed with BASF.

Wavelength 24. The Wavelength 24 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Paul Lindenberg as a Midget Ocean Racing Club (MORC) racer and first built in 1982.

Production
The design was built by W. D. Schock Corp in the United States, with initial production running from 1982 to 1990, with 87 boats delivered. Production was restarted in 2005, but by 2021 it was out of production once again.

Design
The Wavelength 24 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a walk-through reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces  and carries  of lead ballast.

The reintroduced 2005 version incorporated some design changes including an optional wing keel, as well as hammock style bunks with storage underneath.

The boat has a draft of  with the standard fin keel.

The boat is normally fitted with a small  cockpit well-mounted outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.

The original interior design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee berths in the main cabin. The galley is located on the starboard side just aft of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a pull-out two-burner stove and a sink. The head is located in the bow cabin under the "V"-berth. Cabin headroom is .

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 162 and a hull speed of .

Operational history
The boat is supported by an active class club, the Wavelength 24 Owners Group.

In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "Paul Lindenberg, a designer who specializes in lightweight racing sailboats, drew this vessel for W. D. Schock, and she was built from 1983 to 1992, and then recently reintroduced as a newly remodeled version. The new version has hammock-style bunks amidships which are lightweight, provide good support and comfort when racing, and give excellent access to the storage space under them. The boat appears to be remarkably similar to the Santana 23, a Shad Turner design for Schock, built from 1978 to 1987 ... The Wavelength comes with either a winged or standard fin keel, and looks like she should go fast with either keel setup. Best features: An open transom, similar to the Santana 23's, provides good access to an outboard engine, and ensures adequate drainage of water slopping onto the cockpit sole. Worst features: If we were in the market for a racing boat of this size and were tempted by the Wavelength, we might opt instead for the near clone, the Santana 23D because of its extra nine inches of headroom, and its lifting keel, which makes launching from a trailer infinitely easier than dealing with a fin keel at the ramp."

Francis Gibbons Tatnall. Francis Gibbons Tatnall (8 March 1896 – December 1981) was an American engineer and entrepreneur. He went by Frank and was born to William Francis Tatnall and Lillian Harriett Tatnall (born Runcie). Tatnall worked at Vishay Intertechnology and has been referred to as the spiritual father of strain gages.

Education 
Tatnall graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a Mechanical Engineering degree.

Research and career 
Tatnall worked for the Baldwin-Southwark Corporation, a subsidiary of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, selling test equipment. During that stage of his career he traveled extensively getting to know everyone in the testing business and got to know many inventors developing new strain gauge technologies.  He helped many of these inventors set up businesses, which he took financial stakes in, and arranged to sell the devices through Baldwin-Southwark.  In 1951 Baldwin Locomotive Works merged with the Lima-Hamilton Corporation to form the Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton Corporation, where Tatnall was Manager of Testing Research. In the mid 1950s the Budd Company of Philadelphia, opened up a new division called “Tatnall Measuring Systems” (TMS) focusing on advanced equipment and materials testing. Tatnall was the Vice President, General Manager and Director. He hired Felix Zandman as director of basic research and academics in the field of strain measurement including William M. Murray and Dan Post.  Tatnall wrote the autobiographical book “Tatnall on Testing, An autobiographical account of adventures under 13 Vice Presidents" outlining his view of the early history of strain gauge development and his role in it, noting "a test is worth a thousand opinions". Following Tatnall's retirement from TMS, Zandman found reduced support for his R&D work from parent company Budd, so in 1962 Zandman started Vishay.  Shortly after the formation of Vishay, Tatnall joined Zandman and the two worked together until Tatnall's death in 1981. Tatnall was named the first Honorary Member of the Society for Experimental Stress Analysis (SESA) (later the Society for Experimental Mechanics (SEM)) in 1951, a position held until his death in 1981.  When SESA introduced the rank of Fellow, Tatnall was among the first class of SESA Fellows in 1975 along with the seven other living Honorary Members of the society. The Society for Experimental Mechanics initiated the F.G. Tatnall Award in his honor in 1967 to recognize individuals who have made outstanding service contributions to the Society, with Tatnall being the inaugural recipient in 1968. The University of Pennsylvania, Department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics awards the Francis G. Tatnall Prize to seniors whose senior design project is judged to be the most outstanding and which reflects the qualities of ingenuity, technical proficiency, and usefulness.

KH179. The KH179 ("Korean howitzer 1 (first) 79") is a South Korean 155 mm towed howitzer of length 39 calibers, designed and developed by the Agency for Defense Development (ADD) for the Republic of Korea Armed Forces, and is now manufactured by Hyundai WIA.

Development
The KH179 is a towed howitzer developed and produced by Kia Precision Industry (now Hyundai WIA) since 1983 for the purpose of replacing the U.S. M114A2 towed howitzer and enhancing artillery firepower.

General characteristics

The KH179 makes use of lightweight components (CN79 barrel, RM79 recoil buffer, and CG79 mount) and can be air-transported by CH-47 chinook helicopter and C-130 transport aircraft. In addition, performance improvements were made in range, reliability, and maintenance compared to conventional M114A2 howitzers operated by the South Korean military. The ammunition used in the KH179 is compatible with NATO 155 mm standard ammunition, but has significantly improved range and firepower.

It is equipped with a direct/indirect aiming mirror, allowing both direct and indirect howitzer firing. Direct fire uses an L-type aiming mirror with 3.5 magnification and has an effective range of 1,500 m. Indirect shooting uses a four-magnification panoramic aim mirror mounted on the left. The range is 18.1 km for normal rounds, 30 km for rocket-assisted rounds, and the firing rate is 2 rounds per minute for continuous shots, and the maximum firing rate is 4 rounds per minute.

Max M. Frocht. Max Mark Frocht (3 June 1894 – 1974) was a Polish-American engineer and educator. He was a professor at the Illinois Institute of Technology and founder of the Laboratory for Experimental Stress Analysis.

Education 
Max Mark Frocht had moved from Congress Poland to the United States in 1912, settling in Detroit where he worked as a machinist and tool maker. In 1916 he enrolled in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan, earning his B.S. in 1920.  He received an M.S. in physics in 1925 from the University of Pittsburgh, before retiring to the University of Michigan to earn a Ph.D. in 1931 with Stephen Timoshenko.

Research and career 
Frocht was an authority on photoelasticity and his two volume work, Photoelasticity, is a classic text in the field. He worked the Carnegie Institute of Technology between his B.S. and M.S. as an instructor and returned to the Carnegie Institute of Technology as a professor in 1931 after completing his Ph.D. Frocht served on the mechanical engineering faculty of the Illinois Institute of Technology  from 1946 to 1960 and then directed the university's Laboratory for Experimental Stress Analysis. Frocht was an important early member of the Society for Experimental Stress Analysis (now the Society for Experimental Mechanics) and had a longstanding frequent rivalry with fellow IIT faculty members and SESA member August J. Durelli, which was seen to contribute to the progress of the photoelastic method.  It was therefore ironic that upon Frocht's retirement from IIT, the subsequent two directors of the IIT Laboratory for Experimental Stress Analysis, James W. Dally and Cesar Sciammarella, were both students of Durelli. Frocht was named the third Honorary Member of the Society for Experimental Stress Analysis (SESA) (later the Society for Experimental Mechanics (SEM)) in 1959, a position held until his death in 1974.  He is the only Honorary Member of the society to not also be Fellow. When SESA introduced the rank of Fellow in 1975 all living Honorary Members of the society were named in the first class of Fellow, but Frocht had passed away the year before. Since 1975, in the extremenly rare case that a new Honorary Member is named who is not already a Fellow that automatically also receive that title. The Society for Experimental Mechanics initiated the M.M Frocht Award in his honor in 1967 to recognize outstanding achievement as an educator in the field of experimental mechanics, with Frocht being the inaugural recipient in 1968.
