Measurement or estimation of tilt angle is necessary for balancing robot such as Segway which is considered as a next generation transportation vehicle. However, it requires high-cost accurate sensors to hold balancing during stationary and moving situations. In this paper, a tilt angle estimation of a plane rotating in a vertical plane using low-cost sensors. Estimation using a set of 2-axis orthogonal accelerometers along with an inaccurate rate gyro has been considered. Feasibility and performance of the proposed technique has been verified through some experimental results.

This work presents a 3-axis active mount featuring the piezoelectric stack actuators. The inertia configuration for the piezoelectric actuators is adopted to achieve appropriate force and moment in each axis. In addition, the rubber mount is integrated to provide stiffness for system loading. In order to analyze the active mount, the governing equation for the force and moment is derived and its validity is demonstrated by comparing generated force and moment of each actuator between analysis and experiment. In addition, the natural frequency of each actuator is identified though both simulation and experiment.

In the previous study(Kim 등, 2004), the finite element method was used for the vortical vibration analysis of suspension bridge with the effects of the shear deformation and the rotary inertia under moving load considering the bridge-vehicle interaction. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of an eccentric vehicle and shear deformation. So we firstly performs the eigenvalue analysis for the free vortical and the torsional vibration of suspension bridges using FEM analysis. Next the equations of motion considering interaction between suspension bridges and vehicles/trains are derived using the mode superposition method. And then dynamic analysis was performed using the Newmark method. Finally through the numerical examples, the dynamic responses of bridges are investigated according to the proposed procedure.

반도체, 디스플레이와 같이 저압, 극청정 조건에서 진행되는 공정에서 발생한 오염입자는 수 율에 큰 영향을 미친다. 따라서 공정 중에 발생한 오염입자를 실시간으로 모니터링할 수 있는 장비에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. Particle Beam Mass Spectrometer (PBMS)는 저압에서 실시간으로 나노 입자의 크기를 측정할 수 있는 대표적인 장비 중 하나이다. 입자를 포함한 가스 유동이 PBMS로 유입되면, 우선 입자를 입자빔의 형태로 집속하는 공기역학렌즈를 통과하게 된다. 집속된 입자는 노즐에 의해서 가속되며, 이로 인해 충분한 관성을 가지게 된 입자는 양극과 음극, 필라멘트로 구성된 electron gun에서 전자충돌에 의해 포화상태로 하전된다. 하전한 입자는 electrostatic deflector에서 크기에 따라 분류되어 Faraday detector와 electrometer에 의해 측정된다. 그러나 공기역학렌즈는 입자의 크기가 작아질수록 집속 효율이 급격히 낮아진다는 문제점을 지니고 있다. 이는 입자가 작아질수록 점성에 의한 영향이 관성에 의한 영향보다 커짐으로써 나타나는 현상이다. 최근 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 사중극자를 사용하여 입자를 집속시키는 방법이 대안으로 제시되었다. 사중극자는 서로 마주보는 쌍곡선 형태의 전극구조에 AC 전기장을 인가하는 방식을 사용한다. 사중극자의 중심은 정확히 평형점을 가지게 되며 입자는 사중극자 내에서 진동을 반복하며 평형점을 향해 모이게 된다. 입자의 크기가 작을수록 전기력에 의한 영향을 크게 받으므로 사중극자를 이용한 입자집속 방법은 나노입자의 집속에 있어 공기역학렌즈를 이용한 집속에 비해 이점을 지닌다. 또한 집속 하고자 하는 입자 대상이 바뀔 경우 구조를 바꿔야 하는 공기역학렌즈와 달리 사중극자를 이용한 방법은 AC 전기장을 조절하는 것 만으로 제어가 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 저압 조건에서 나노입자를 집속하기 위한 사중극자의 전극 구조를 이론적인 계산을 통하여 구하였다. 그 결과 0.1 torr의 압력 조건하에서 5~100 nm 범위의 기본 입자를 AC 전압과 진동수를 조절하여 집속할 수 있는 사중극자 형태를 설계하였다.

During earthquake, force components acting on quay walls consist of inertia force, earth pressure and water pressure. The earth pressure is largely influenced by the backfill condition such as soil density and the installation of gravel backfill. Therefore, shaking table tests were performed by using four different model sections, which were designed by varying the soil density and the backfill materials. The magnitude and the phase of force components acting on quay wall were analyzed. Test results showed that the gravel backfill and the soil compaction were effective to reduce the excess pore pressure in backfill and the magnitude and phase of backfill thrust were much influenced by the excess pore pressure in backfill. When the input acceleration was 0.10g, the average ratios of the inertia force, the front dynamic water force and the thrust to the total force were $64\%,\;21\%\;and\;16\%$, respectively. As the excess pore pressure increased, the ratio of the thrust to the total force increased.

In this paper, the governing differential equations for the free vibration of uniform parabolic arches are derived on the basis of equilibrium equations of a small element of arch rib and the D'Alembert principle. A trial eigen value method is used for determining the natural frequencies and mode shapes. And the Runge-Kutta fourth order integration technique is also used in this method to perform the integration of the differential equations. A detailed study is made of the first mode for the symmetrical and anti-symmetrical vibrations of hinged arches with the Span length equal to 10 m. The effects of the rise of arch, the radius of gyration and the rotary inertia on free vibrations are presented in detail in curves and table.

Vibration in Engine module could be reduced by introducing a balance shaft module which has one or more unbalanced rotors. The unbalanced rotor is unbalanced in one direction that act as a opposite direction of the inertia force or moment triggered by engine component so that the largest order factor in vibration is efficiently decreased The ability of balance shaft to reduce the order element of engine component is investigated by a vehicle testing that is focused on comparing the vibration with balance shaft to that of without balance shaft. One of the commonly adapted balance shaft is tested by modal scheme for indemnifying the dynamic characteristics and an, the modal information is used for a clue to design the balance shaft module. The essential equation deriving the design parameters of unbalanced rotor is also presented for two cases, 3 in-ling and 4 in-ling cylinder model. Finally, the overall design process is explained with flow chart.

This paper presents practical results for the estimation of vibration level inside a powertrain based on the rigid body theory and measurement. The vibration level of inside powertrain has been used for the calculation of excitation force of an engine indirectly. However it was difficult to estimate or measure the vibration level inside of a powertrain when a powertrain works on the driving condition of a vehicle. To do this work, the rigid body theory is employed. At the first, the vibration on the surface of a powertrain is measured and its results are secondly used for the estimation the vibration level inside of powertrain together with rigid body theory. Also did research on how to decrease the error rate when the rigid body theory is applied. This method is successfully applied to the estimation of the vibration level on arbitrary point of powertrain on the driving condition at the road.

This paper deals with the shaking table test(STT), the Quasi-Static Test(QST), and the Pseudo-Dynamic Test(PDT) to evaluate the seismic performance of RC bridge piers under near fault ground motion. Five scaled specimens were constructed the weight of the superstructure was applied through the prestressing strand at the centroid of the column section during the QST and PDT. However, the STT was simulated. The lateral inertia force of the superstructure by the mass frame which was linked with the pier because of the limited payload of shaking table. Particularly for the STT, friction underneath the mass frame was minimized by special details and it was verified by a series of pre-load test. Scale factor of the RC piers was 4.25.

To overcome the drawback of currently available curved beam theories having non-symmetric thin-walled cross sections, a curved beam theory based on centroid-shear center formulation is presented for the spatially coupled free vibration and elastic analyses. For this, the displacement field is expressed by introducing displacement parameters defined at the centroid and shear center axes, respectively. Next the elastic strain and kinetic energies considering the thickness-curvature effect and the rotary inertia of curved beam are rigorously derived by degenerating the energies of the elastic continuum to those of curved beam. In order to illustrate the validity and the accuracy of this study, FE solutions using the Hermitian curved beam elements are presented and compared with the results by centroid formulation, previous research and ABAQUS's shell elements.
