Elastic wave scattering from an acoustically rigid or soft object is studied and compared with the acoustic wave scattering. The behavior of phases as well as magnitudes of partial waves and their total summation of scattered wave are numerically analyzed and discussed. The effect of mode conversion, which occurs between longitudinal and transversal waves in elastic wave scattering. on the magnitudes and phases of scattered waves is identified.

Various types of robotic arms are being used for industrial purposes, particularly with the small production of multi-products, and the importance of the gripper, which can be used in industrial fields, is increasing. This study evaluated a variable stiffness mechanism gripper that can change the stiffness using the nonlinearity of a flexible material. A prototype of the gripper was fabricated and examined to confirm the change in stiffness. The previous gripper was unable to grip objects in some situations with three variable stiffness mechanism. In addition, these mechanisms were not balanced and rarely rotated when the object was gripped. Therefore, a new type of gripper was needed to solve this problem. Inspired by the movements of the human palm and Venus Flytrap, a new type of a variable stiffness soft robot hand was designed. The possibility of grasping could be increased by interlocking the palm folding mechanism by pulling the tendon attached to the variable stiffness mechanism. The soft robotic hand was used to grasp objects of various shapes and weights more stably than the previous variable stiffness mechanism gripper. This new variable stiffness soft robot hand can be used selectively depending on the application and environment to be used.

To obtain the convenient solution of the multibody dynamic systems composed of flexible beams, linear finite element technique is adopted and the nodal coordinates are interpolated in the global inertia frame. Mass matrix becomes an extremely simple constant matrix and the force vector also becomes extremely simple because Coriolis acceleration and centrifugal force are not required. And the elastic force is also simply computed from the moving frame attached to the material. To solve the global differential algebraic euation. an ODE technique is adopted after Lagrange multiplier is computed by the accelerated iterative technique, and the time demanding procedures such as Newton-Raphson iterations and decomposition of the big matrix are not required. The accuracy of the present solution is checked by a well-known example problem.

Installing Continuous Welded Rail (CWR) is one of the economical ways to resolve the challenges of noise, vibration, and the open-deck steel railway bridge impact, and the SSF method using the interlocking sleeper fastener has recently been developed. In this study, the method employed for determining the optimum vertical stiffness of the sleeper pad installed under the bridge sleeper, which is utilized to adjust the rail height and absorb shock when the train passes when the interlocking sleeper fastener is applied, is presented. To determine the optimal vertical stiffness of the sleeper pad, related existing design codes are reviewed, and, running safety, ride comfort, track safety, and bridge vibration according to the change in the vertical stiffness of the sleeper pad are estimated via flexible multi-body dynamic analysis,. The flexible multi-body dynamic analysis is performed using commercial programs ABAQUS and VI-Rail. The numerical analysis is conducted using the bridge model for a 30m-long plate girder bridge, and the response is calculated when passing ITX Saemaeul and KTX vehicles and freight wagon when the vertical stiffness of the sleeper pad is altered from 7.5 kN/mm to 240 kN/mm. The optimum stiffness of the sleeper pad is calculated as 200 kN/mm under the conditions of the track components applied to the numerical analysis.

This paper presents the moving object tracking method using vision system. In order to track object in real time, the image of moving object have to be located the origin of the image coordinate axes. Accordingly, Fuzzy Control System is investigated for tracking the moving object, which control the camera module with Pan/Tilt mechanism. Hereafter, so the this system is applied to mobile robot, we design and implement image processing board for vision system. Also fuzzy controller is implemented to the StrongArm board. Finally, the proposed fuzzy controller is useful for the real-time moving object tracking system by experiment.

강성체로된 견인물체가 탄성무한경면으로 지지된 점탄성층 위를 미끄러져 갈 때 접촉구간에서의 압력분포와 마찰 특성을 고찰하였다. 즉, 접촉구간에서의 강성체의 모양과 압력분포에 관한 적분 방정식을 구하고, 점탄성층의 두께가 접촉구간에 비하여 충분히 두꺼울 때 압력분포와 마찰계 수의 근사해를 구하였다. 압력분포의 모양은 점탄성층의 물성을 표시하는 지수값, 즉 .alpha.<1/2, .alpha.=1/2, .alpha.>1/2에 따라서 크게 다르다. 한편, 수치해석에 의하면 마찰 계수에 대한 근 사해는 강성체의 미끄럼 속도, 점탄성 층의 두께, 탄성체의 영율 (E$_{o}$ )과 점탄성층의 시효 성탄성계수 (E$_{v}$ )의 차, 즉 E$_{o}$ /E$_{v}$ 에 따라 변화함을 알 수 있다. 즉, 탄성체가 점탄성층에 비하여 딱딱하면 할수록, 또 강성체 속도가 느리면 느릴수록 마찰계수는 작아진다. 그리고 불성의 지수(.alpha.)가 커지면 커질수록 근사해의 수렵 속도는 느려지게 되고 지 수(.alpha.)가 1에 가까워지면 점탄성층의 탄성효과는 점성효과에 비하여 거의 무시할 수 있으며 근사해는 의미가 없어지게 된다.

예선이 부선을 예인줄로 연결하여 운항할 시 예인줄에 걸리는 장력 및 형상을 예인줄을 다물체로 분할하여 모델링하였다. 이러한 예인줄 요소에 대한 횡동요를 제외한 5자유도 운동방정식을 구성하고, 각 요소들에 작용하는 힘을 정식화하여 연성 운동방정식을 도출하였다. 예인줄 요소들 간에는 예인줄의 재료 특성에 따른 강성을 가진 스프링과 감쇠장치로 연결하여 동력학적 조건을 부가하였고, 요소의 변형을 허용하는 형태로 운동학적 조건은 설정하지 않았다. 예인줄의 다물체 모델링의 검증을 위하여 단순 낙하, 직진, 사인파 형태로 지그재그로 움직이는 예선과 단순 항력체로 가정한 부선의 운동에 대한 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다.

In this paper, the operating stiffness of a parallel robot used to handle heavy packages is optimized. Because the studied model, called a "pick and place robot," is applied for packaging logistics, it is important for the robot to be lightweight so that it may respond rapidly and have high stiffness to allow sufficient operating precision. However, these two requirements of low weight and high stiffness are mutually exclusive. Thus, the dynamic characteristics of the robot are analyzed through multibody dynamics analysis, and topology optimization is conducted to achieve this exclusive performance. Lastly, the reliability of the topology optimization is verified by applying the optimized design to the parallel robot.

인간이 움직이는 물체에 탑승하고 있거나 움직이는 물체를 잡고 있을때 어떤 종류의 감성을 느끼게 된다. 물체의 속도, 가속도, 또는 강성, 감쇠 등으로 인하여 인간은 쾌, 불쾌감을 갖게 되며, 본 논문에서는 이러한 감성을 운동감이라 정의한다. 이러한 운동감을 공학적으로 유용한 데이터로 만들기 위해 운동감 어휘를 도입하여 정량화를 시도하였으며, 복수의 운동감 어휘를 연산할 수 있는 방법과 가중치를 구할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 귀의 전정 기관에서 느끼는 몸 전체의 평형 감각 및 운동 감각은 고려의 대상으로 제외하며, 팔에 국한하여 피부 감각과 팔 근육의 위치 인지 등으로 인한 운동감을 해석 대상으로 한다. 해석의 편의성을 위하여 팔을 제외한 몸의 움직임은 없는 상태로 유지하며, 팔의 2차원 운동만을 고려하기고 한다. 퍼지는 사람의 언어와 같이 모호한 사건을 해석하기 위한 이론이다. 모호한 정도를 표현하는 방법으로 퍼지 정도척도(measutr of fuzziness)와 퍼지척도(fuzzy measure)가 많은 분야에서 이용되고 있다. 하지만 운동감에 대한 연구는 미비한 실정이므로 불확실성을 평가하는 퍼지 이론을 이용하여 운동감을 해석하려 한다.
