Recently, Vecna BEAR type robot to save injured individuals from inaccessible areas has been developed to minimize the loss of life. Because this robot is driven on rough terrain, there is a risk of rollover and vibration, which could impact the injured. In order to guarantee its stability, an algorithm is required that can estimate the speed limits for various environments in real time. Therefore, a dynamic model for real-time analysis is needed for this algorithm. Because the tracks used as the driving component of Vecna BEAR type robot consist of many parts, it is impossible to analyze the multibody tracks in real time. Thus, a lumped track model that satisfies the requirements of a short computation time and adequate accuracy is required. This study performed lumped track modeling, and the traction force was verified using RecurDyn, which is a dynamic commercial program.

We have studied electronic and magnetic structure of cubane-type Cu magnetic molecule using density functional method. The calculated density of states show that Cu has 3d $x^2-y^2$ hole orbital because of short distances between Cu atom and in-plane 4 ligand atoms. The calculated total energy with in-plane antiferromagnetic spin configuration is lower than those of ferromagnetic configurations. The calculated exchange interaction J between in-plane Cu atoms is much larger than those between out-plane Cu atoms, since the $x^2-y^2$ hole orbital ordering of Cu 3d orbitals induces strong super-exchange interaction between in-plane Cu atoms.

In domestic transitional zone design, there is regulation to prevent generation of irregular substructure behaviors that negatively influence in prevention of plasticity settlement on approach section and contact section as well as relieve overall track rigidity by reducing sectional foundation and track stiffness difference, but design guideline that considers dynamic behavior of transitional track in actual service line is very insignificant. Therefore in this study, characteristics of transitional track dynamic behaviors by substructure stiffness are researched and measured dynamic response of transitional track by substructure stiffness in order to prove correlation between substructure and track and calculate elasticity(stiffness) and track load of transitional track by using measurement and formula to provide basic information for developing design guideline considering dynamic behavior of service line transitional track.

Recently the more stable roadbed is required due to the high speed and design load. Therefore the reinforced roadbed was introduced as the solution. But the thickness and stiffness of reinforced roadbed in design code is being conservatively assessed by the foreign code without considering the domestic construction condition. In this paper, adequate Young's modulus, drain capacity, freezing depth, economical efficiency, bearing capacity, construction condition and 3-D finite element method were employed to determine the proper thickness of reinforced roadbed at the embankment section.

In this study, the absorbing boundary condition was adopted to prevent elastic wave propagation due to abrupt load condition changes in moving force analysis. It was proven to be effective in reducing inappropriate noise components. Furthermore, to verify whether fixed point excitation in a laboratory test can simulate train movement effectively, the results of dynamic analysis for fixed point excitation and moving force conditions were analyzed. The dynamic stability of an asphalt track structure under a KTX train condition was also studied. Additionally, the dynamic safety of asphalt tracks was verified by comparing the results of a moving force analysis under a KTX train load and a quasi-static analysis under the design standard Korean train load.

To reduce the cost and time of transport in Eurasian railroad networks such as TKR, TCR and TSR owing to the problem of different track gauges (narrow/standard/broad gauge), it is important to develop the gauge-adjustable wheelset system to adapt easily to these gauges. Moreover, freight trains having the gauge-adjustable wheelsets should be passing various curved tracks in railroad networks. Therefore, to assure the safety of the gauge-adjustment whellset system, it is necessary to evaluate integrity of locking parts in the system using stress analysis. This study is focused on analyzing contact stress of locking parts by using FEA(finite element analysis) simulation during the gauge changeover operation and freight trains' service in the curved track, respectively.

The findings of ferromagnetic superconductor have attracted much attention not only for fundamental research to investigate how the antagonistic properties of ferromagnetism and superconductivity coexist peacefully but also for potential technological applications. Firstly, in order to help for understanding the ferromagnetic superconductor, I have explained the orbital and paramagnetic pair-breaking effects of magnetic field, which breaks the superconducting Cooper pairs. In addition to such effects of magnetic field, the singlet Cooper pairs become unstable upon going through the ferromagnetic materials by the proximity effect. The proximity effect occurs at the interface of thin films composing of superconductor and ferromagnet and leads to have very short penetration depth of Cooper pairs. However, a type of odd-frequency triplet in comparison with the singlet could be very stable and has a longer effective depth. It needs to be explored for the innovative spintronic devices. Finally, various ferromagnetic superconductors coexist and the lower-dimensional materials under the Quantum confinement effect have been introduced.

인공위성은 지상에서 설계 제작된 후에 발사체에 탑재되어 궤도에 진입되어 위성에 부여된 고유임무를 수행하게 된다. 위성체가 임무를 수행하는 우주공간은 고진공 환경과 태양 복사열에 의한 고온 환경 및 극저온이 반복되는 가혹한 환경으로 특징지어진다. 때때로 위성체는 이러한 가혹한 우주환경의 영향으로 인해 주요 부품의 기능장애가 초래되기도 하며 이는 결국 임무의 실패로 이어지도 한다. 따라서 고진공과 극저온 환경으로 일컬어지는 우주환경을 지상에서 모사하여 위성체의 안정성 및 신뢰성을 시험하기 위해서 열진공 시험장비를 이용한 열진공시험을 수행한다. 한국항공우주연구원에서는 인공위성의 탑재체인 광학카메라의 국산화 개발을 위하여 우주공간의 고진공과 극저온 상태를 모사할 수 있는 $\varphi4m\timesL10m$ 규모의 광학탑재체 전용 열진공챔버를 국산화 제작하였다. 관측 위성용 광학카메라는 초고정밀 장비로서, 이를 테스트하기 위한 광학탑재체용 진공챔버는 특히 진동환경에 매우 민감한 하여 10-7 grms 이하의 진동레벨을 허용하고 있다. 그러나 진공용기는 지진 및 외부 환경으로부터의 시스템외부진동과 진공펌프 및 기타 장비들로부터의 내부 진동환경에 항상 노출되어 있으며, 가진 주파수가 구조물 자체의 고유진동수와 일치될 경우 공진이 발생하여 시스템에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있으므로, 외부 진동 및 챔버 자체 진동이 광학계에 전달되지 않도록 진동차단장치가 필요하다. 이 논문에서는 광학탑재체 궤도환경시험용 챔버에 대한 진동차단장치의 개발 및 활용 예를 논의하고자 한다.

Domestic or international existing researches regarding rail damage factors are focused on laying, vehicle conditions, driving speed and driving habits and overlook characteristics of track structure (elasticity, maintenance etc). Also in ballast track, as there is no special lateral spring stiffness of track also called as ballast lateral resistance in concrete track, generally, existing study shows concrete track has 2 time shorter life cycle for rail replacement than ballast track due to abrasion. As a result of domestic concrete track design and operation performance review, concrete track elasticity is lower than track elasticity of ballast track resulting higher damage on rail and tracks. Generally, concrete track has advantage in track elasticity adjustment than ballast track and in case of Europe, in concrete track design, it is recommended to have same or higher performance range of vertical elastic stiffness of ballast track but domestically or internationally review on lateral spring stiffness of track is very minimal. Therefore, through analysis of service line track on site measurement and analysis on performance of maintenance, in this research, dynamic characteristic behaviors of commonly used ballast and concrete track are studied to infer elasticity of service line track and experimentally prove effects of track lateral spring stiffness that influence curved rail damage as well as correlation between track elasticity by track system and rail damage to propose importance of appropriate elastic stiffness level for concrete and ballast track.
