The development of unmanned robots and UAVs has increased the need for path planning methods such as RRT^* algorithm. It mostly works well in various environments and is utilized in many fields. A lot of research has been conducted to obtain a better path in terms of efficiency through various modifications to the RRT^* algorithm, and the performance of the algorithm is continuously improved thanks to these efforts. In this study, a method using the limitation of sampling range is proposed as an extension of these efforts. Based on the idea that a path passing close to obstacles is similar to the optimal path in obstacle environments, nodes are produced around the obstacle. Also, rewiring algorithm is modified to quickly obtain the path. The performance of the proposed algorithm is validated by comparative analysis of the previous basic algorithm and the generated path is tracked by a UAV's kinematic model for further verification.

We propose a variable frame structure connected with telescopic mast-shaped shaft for a robot displaying outstanding ability to cross obstacles, and for effective traction control. The wireless control system was built to extend and contract a deployable mechanism, which is shaped into a hoberman sphere assembled with frame structures. In order to develop important parameters for efficient locomotion, we derived an Euler-Lagrange equation for the spherical robot. According to the equation, the DC motor was selected. A prototype mechanism was tested and a Finite-Element Analysis (FEA) was conducted in parallel. Using these data, we constructed a deployable spherical robot with structural stability. The deployable robot moved at a speed of 0.85 m/s from 520 mm to 650 mm.

In this case of the mobile communication of vehicles with satellite, the signal at attenuation is due to roadside trees. To analyze this signal attenuation, a roadside tree was modeled as different obstacles of rectangular type and then using Fresnel and Kirchhoff diffraction theory, a formula was derived for signal intensity variation caused by the roadside tree model. The signal attenuation of a roadside tree model was obtained by numerical analysis with variation of the elevation angle, the position and distance between a receiver and a transmitter, and these were compared with experimental results. The results of comparison between theoretical and experimental values show, as expected, the good agreement of the signal attenuation trend.

Narrowband bandpass weveguide filters using inductive post obstacles in rectangular waveguide are designed and constructed to have an equal-ripple bandwidth of 50MHz (0.56% fractional band-width) at a center frequency of 9GHz. Both the triple-post and the single-post configurations are realized and compared. The measured center frequency, bandwidth, and attenuation characteristics for both filters show good agreement with the theoretical calculations. When the two filters are compared, the insertion loss characteristic of the triple-post filter is better than that of the single-post filter by 0.8dB at the passband.

Circulation phenamena in open channel with abrupt variation in flow section are studied by solving numerically two dimensional Navier-Stokes equations integrated over depth. Galerkin type finite element method is used as numerical scheme. Numerical results by both implicit and explicit schemes tested in one-demensional rectangular channel agree closely with the known solution. The numerical experiments carded out in the open channel with a pool indicate the expected flow pattern and the center of the circulation coincides with the geometrical center, but the vectors of velocity appear father small, and it remains to be further investigated. Numerically simulated flow profiles along the channel with constrictions such as bridge piers and abutments are shown to be close to hydraulic experimental results. Thus further refined numerical technique is expected to be able to serve as a tool to evaluate the effect of bridge backwater.

The objective of this study is ensuring safety of cabin when the blade impacts into a obstacle by verifying safety of the rotor mast and the transmission using impact loads calculated from the simulation. The rotor mast shall not fail and the transmission shall not be displaced into occupiable space when the main rotor composite blade impact into a 8 inch rigid cylinder in diameter on the outer 10% of the blade at operational rotor speed. To calculate the reaction loads at the spherical bearing and lead-lag damper, blade impact analysis was performed with FE model consist of composite blade, tree(or rigid cylinder) using elastic-plastic with damage material and several contact surfaces which were created to describe a progress of actual failure. Also, the reaction loads were investigated in change of blade rotation speed and pitch angle.

The shadow, reflection, interference, and diffraction are proper phenomena concerning sound that is a kind of wave. By the late nineteenth century, similar optical phenomena had been detected already but these phenomena concerning sound had not been convincingly detected. It was Rayleigh who succeeded in detecting those phenomena without any reasonable doubt by the virtue of his original instruments and smart experimental settings. Rayleigh could detect the sound shadow by using the corner of a building and erase the shadow by some reflectors. And he constructed some apparatus similar to Young's interference apparatus famous in optics to detect the sonic interference. Furthermore, he first succeeded in illustrating the acoustical effectiveness of Poisson's disk by which optical diffraction had already been well known, and tested the effect of diffraction by spherical obstacles to ascertain that the result coincided with his theory.
