In this paper, the structure of the gravity compensator has been designed and applied to a light structure of a new 6-axis robot manipulator to enhance its torque performance. Also, analyses on the kinematics and inverse-kinematics of the manipulator have been performed. An FEM analysis has been performed on the structure of robot links to have an excellent performance of delivering 25 kg payload despite of 30kg weight, which is very light compared with other manipulators. Through the FEM analysis, the stability on the vending or fracture of the links of the robot manipulator has been verified.

A trajectory analysis program was developed to predict KSLV-II (Korea Space Launch Vehicle-II) performance with the reducing weight. The program estimates the LEO (Low Earth Orbit) / SSO (Sun-Synchronous Orbit) injection performance, which is determined as payload weight for the orbits, with decreasing the structural ratio or increasing rocket engine power. It is expected that the KSLV-II can transport up to 4.5 tons, 3 tons of space payloads at LEO, SSO with a reduced structural ratio by 60% of the original. It also shows that the KSLV-II can transport up to 3.65 tons at SSO by applying advanced engines of 90 tonf, 10 tonf class with the reduced structure.

In this study, the lightweight design of butterfly valve disc component for power plant based on topology optimization was performed. Here, commercial finite element (FE) analysis software was used. The external shape of the basic disc model was not deformed, and the internal element density was removed to make it lightweight. Optimal design was performed each other after the disc plate and two brackets attached on the surface of the disc were separated. Once the optimal shapes were selected, they were assembled to build up the 3-D lightweight valve disc model. After applying pressure to this model, FE analysis was performed to confirm the structural safety.

This paper presents the test and evaluation results on the shear strength and stiffness of a light steel stud wall from a lightweight foamed mortar (lightweight hybrid wall). The use of a lightweight foamed mortar was aimed at improving structural performance, thermal performance, and finish. Studiesshowed that it did not affect thermal performance, but it contributed to structural performance and finish when the unit weight was more than 0.8 (Editor's note: Please indicate the unit of measurement.). In this study, 14 specimens-whose parameters included the specific gravity of the lightweight foamed mortar (0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2), the spacing of the stud (450 mm, 600 mm, or 900 mm), finishing materials (such as lightweight foamed mortar, OSB, and gypsum board), and bracing-were manufactured. Three typical, steel house-framing specimens were added to compare the test results with the 14 specimens. The results of in-plane shear tests show that the use of lightweight foamed mortar (1.15~5.38 times stronger, 1.45~13.7 times stiffer) results in ultimate strength and initial stiffness. In addition, it was possible to widen the stud spacing to up to 900 mm without decreasing shear strength. It was very important to prevent the lightweight foamed mortar from shrinking and to secure the adhesion between the steel stud and the lightweight foamed mortar to improve structural performance.

The purpose of this study is to estimate experimentally the flexural behavior, capacity and validity of existing regulation of net tensile strain in lightweight concrete beams and polymer modified lightweight concrete beams. One normal weight concrete beam and four lightweight concrete beams, three polymer modified lightweight concrete beams were constructed as same figure and attempted to evaluate the difference of strength and ductility in specimens of different net tensile strain in extreme tension steel. Test results are indicated in terms of load-deflection behavior and ductility index. As the value of net tensile strain increased, the flexural strength and stiffness of specimen decreased but ductility index increased in both of lightweight concrete beams and polymer modified lightweight concrete beams. It is considered that to achieve similar ductility index of normal weight concrete, net tensile strain in extreme tension steel should exceed 0.005 for lightweight concrete beam and polymer modified lightweight concrete beam.

플라스틱 제품은 경량이며 내후성, 내구성, 방음성, 단열성, 절연성 등이 우수하고 또한 발포가공에 의해 원료 폴리머의 사용량을 저감시켜 생산원가를 줄일 수 있다는 커다란 장점이 있다. 그러나 물리적인 강도, 가연성, 내열성 등의 한계점 때문에 그 용도가 제한되고 있는 실정이다. 형상 변경이 비교적 용이한 경량 구조체를 이용한 건축소재는 협소공간의 고도 이용과 건설 분야의 양적, 질적인 측면에서 급속한 성장으로 건축자재의 경량화, 고급화 및 다양화를 요구하고 있으며 이에 polyurethane, polyethylene, polystyrene 등의 플리스틱 및 foam 형태의 저밀도 고분자 건축소재의 사용이 급증되고 있다.(중략)

A recent trend of technical development in auxiliary-power-supplies (APS) is to replace 60Hz low frequency transformers with isolated type dc/dc converters. This paper introduces the technical trend in APS structures and proposes a power converter circuit suitable for high-efficient and light-weight APS. By utilizing the resonant converter, which achieves ZCS, to reduce switching losses, various types of APS structures (1-stage and 2-stage) are reviewed, and they are verified by simulation. The full-bridge resonant LLC converter is designed with a 1-stage power converting structure; the resonant converter topology is designed with a 2-stage power converting structure that has a pre-regulator converter to compensate for the wide input voltage range. Both a step-down converter and a step-up converter are designed and compared for the pre-regulator in the 2-stage structure. Operational characteristics are compared with simulation results and loss analyses are presented to proposes appropriate system structure and topologies.

충격음 저감재의 동탄성계수와 감쇠계수는 차단성능을 평가하는데 있어 중요한 물성치가 된다. 저감재의 동탄성계수는 뜬바닥구조의 고유진동수를 결정짓게 되며, 저감재의 동탄성계수가 높을수록, 즉 고유진동수가 높아짐에 따라 실험실 경량충격음레벨 저감량은 지수함수적으로 감소됨을 실험을 통해 알 수 있다. 또한, 저감재를 포함한 뜬바닥구조를 1자유도 진동계로 가정한 이론값과 실험실 경량충격음레벨 저감량의 결과가 비교적 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이 때 감쇠계수의 영향은 반드시 고려되어야 한다.

최근 고강도화 기술이 발전함에 따라 각국에서는 지역마다 랜드마크로 불리는 건축물들이 자주 등장하는 것을 문헌을 통하여 자주 접한다. 또한 건축물의 거대화 고층화에 따라, 합리적인 설계를 가능하게 하는 콘크리트의 경량화가 새로운 과제로 주목을 받고 있다. 초경량 콘크리트 구조물을 실용화 할 수 있으면 상부구조의 경량화, 지진하중의 저감, 건설기계의 생력화, 기초 부담의 저감 및 기초의 경량화 등에 따라 건설콘스트 에너지 전체의 저감에도 큰 효과가 기대되기 때문이다. 국내에도 경량 골재에 대한 제조가 간헐적으로 계속되어 오고 있다. 특징을 보면 산업부산물을 이용한 친환경소재, 에너지 절감, 흡수율 등을 대폭적으로 낮추었다고 소개되고 있는 반면, 비중을 초경량화한 경우는 거의 없다. 따라서 본 검토는 절건비중이 1.0 미만인 초경량골재를 사용한 경우로 비록 실험실적 결과이지만 쉽게 접할 수 있는 제품이 아닌 것 같아 아소(麻生)공과대학 미즈다(水田)교수의 논문을 소개하는 것이고, 콘크리트 테크노 2009년 1월에 게재된 문헌을 요약 발췌한 것임을 밝혀둔다.
