In this study, suspension geometry is controlled to improve vehicle handling performance. The toe and camber of the rear suspension is controlled independently by using a double knuckle structure designed to enhance the vehicle cornering stability. Camber and toe changes in the rear wheel during high speed turning maneuver are important factors that influence the vehicle stability. Toe in the rear outer wheel plays a dominant role in cornering. A control algorithm for the camber and the toe angle input is developed to carry out the control simulation of the vehicle such as single lane change, the steady state cornering, the double lane change and the step steering simulation. Effects of the camber and toe angle control are analyzed from the computer simulations. A double lane change simulation revealed that the suspension mechanism with variable camber angle and variable toe angle decreases the peak body slip angle and peak yaw rate, 50% and 10%, respectively.

마늘파종기는 파종기구동부와 파종후 파종홀의 복토역할을 하는 파종기롤러, 지면과의 마찰을 통해 바퀴의 회전토크가 발생하며 발생된 토크는 파종기 내부 동력으로 전달되어 전체 파종시스템(배종, 호퍼캠, 파종부)을 동작 시키는 기능을 수행하는 파종바퀴, 마늘종구를 한알씩 집어올려 중간이송컵으로 이송하는 자세교정컵이 포함된 배종부와 자세교정컵에서 낙하된 마늘종구를 땅속으로 파종하는 파종장치로 구성된다. 배종율 95%, 2립 배종률 5% 성능을 확보할 수 있는 기술이 개발될 경우 세계적으로도 독보적인 기술 우위를 확보할 수 있다. 이와 같은 기본적인 기능을 구현할 수 있는 컨셉모델에 대한 설계를 수행하여 시제품개발 전 기구해석과 구조해석 등을 위한 기본설계를 수행하였다. 배종율 95% 이상을 확보하기 위해서는 기존의 현장경험의 의한 설계 방식으로는 한계가 있기 때문에 시뮬레이션 및 분석 개발이 필요한데, 프레임은 고정밀 마늘종구 배종부 장착을 위한 기본 구조물로써 작동시 동력을 얻기 위한 바퀴와 연계가 되도록 설계되었으며, 호퍼는 배종 수행을 위해 마늘을 저장해 두는 통으로써 배종부와 연결된다. 배종부의 배종판이 회전함에 따라서 배종판의 홈이 호퍼 내로 들어갔다 나오면서 마늘을 집게되며, 동력 전달부는 배종판을 회전시켜주고, 회전 속도 조절을 가능하게 한다. 파종부는 배종부에서 중간컵을 통해 하나씩 공급해준 마늘을 땅에 심는 부분으로서. 프레임의 바퀴 회전과 연동되어 회전하고 설계하였다. 배종판에서 중간컵으로 이송된 마늘을 파종부의 파종컵에 받아 회전하면서 땅속에 파종컵이 묻히면 파종컵이 열리면서 땅속에 마늘을 심는 원리이다. 조간조정은 7조식의 경우 초기설치시 고정되도록 설계되었으며 농촌진흥청 기계화 표준재배안에 따라 의성마늘 기준 $14{\times}14cm$(조간${\times}$주간)를 기준으로 개발하였다. 조간조정은 기계가 설치되면 조정하기 어려우므로 14cm로 설계하였으며, 주간조정은 원형배종장치의 구동기어부의 속도비로 간격을 조정할 수 있도록 기어장치를 설계하였다. 주간조정은 13에서 18cm의 범위에서 작동하도록 설계되었으며, 필요에 따라 간격조절이 가능함. 마늘은 그 크기가 다르고, 형상도 다르기 때문에 종자에 따른 개별적인 파종기술들이 개발되어야하기 때문에 개발 기간이 오래 걸리고, 수익에 비하여 개발비가 과다하게 요구되는 실정인데 축적된 시뮬레이션 툴을 이용한 파종기 분석 기술을 확보할 경우 다른 파종기의 연구 개발에도 크게 도움이 될 것으로 기대되며, 생육측정 실험과 동역학 해석 툴 RecurDyn을 통해 파종기의 기구학적 분석을 통한 설계반영 인자를 도출할 계획이다.

Underwater gliders do not typically have separate propellers for forward motion. They generate propulsive forces based on the difference between their buoyancy and gravity. They can control the volume from the buoyancy engine to adjust the propulsive force. In addition, the attitude of the underwater glider is controlled by a rubberless motion controller. The motion controller can change the mass center and moment of inertia of the inner moving mass. Owing to the change in these parameters, the attitude of the underwater glider is changed. In this study, we derive nonlinear, six degree of freedom (DOF) mathematical models for the motion controller and buoyancy engine. Using these equations, we perform dynamic simulations of the proposed underwater glider, and verify the suitability of the design and dynamic performances of the proposed underwater glider. We then perform the motion control simulation for the pitch and roll angle, and analyze the dynamic performance according to the pitch and roll angles.

Stresses occur in the spent nuclear fuel disposal canister due to the impulsive forces incurred in the accidental drop and impact event from the transportation vehicle onto the ground during deposition in the repository. In this paper, the comparative study of finite element analysis for stresses occurring in various models of the spent nuclear fuel disposal canister due to these impulsive forces is presented as one of design processes for the structural integrity of the canister. The main content of the study is about the design of the structurally safe canister through this comparative study. The impulsive forces applied to the canister subjected to the accidental drop and impact event from the transportation vehicle onto the ground in the repository are obtained using the commercial rigid body dynamic analysis computer code, RecurDyn. Stresses and deformations occurring due to these impulsive forces are obtained using the commercial finite element analysis computer code, NISA. The study for the structurally safe canister is carried out thru comparing and reviewing these values. The study results show that stresses become larger as the wall encompassing the spent nuclear fuel bundles inside the canister becomes thicker or as the diameter of the canister becomes larger. However, the impulsive force applied to the canister also becomes larger as the canister diameter becomes larger. Nonetheless, the deformation value per unit impulsive force decreases as the canister diameter increases. Therefore, conclusively the canister is structurally safe as the diameter increases.

The tires, suspension type, and steering system can all cause pulling during braking. Among these, a drag link steering system and leaf-type suspension system are significant causes of vehicle pulling. In this study, the pulling problem is analyzed using the vehicle analysis program "ADAMS/CAR." The drag link and leaf spring behavior is analyzed to find the key reason for pulling. After this, the optimization program "Visual DOC" is used with "ADAMS/CAR" to find a steering link connection point to reduce pulling. After conducting this simulation, K&C (kinematic & compliance) test simulation with a modified connection point is conducted to determine whether the vehicle performance improves. Through a full braking simulation, it is verified that the pulling distance is reduced at braking.

A marionette is a moving puppet that can be made to perform several actions by pulling wires connected to the puppet. Because a marionette is operated by hand, a stage performance with a human-sized marionette is impossible. However, a marionette robot operated using a wire controller could be used as a human-sized marionette to conduct a stage performance with other robots or actors. In addition, by using mobile stages that utilize mobile platforms, a wire controller, and the marionette robot body, the large marionette robot system designed in this study can be made to rotate and translate freely in a stage performance. The feasibility of the structure of the marionette robot wire control system is verified by using dynamics analysis. Furthermore, the efficiency and safety of the robot is demonstrated by manufacturing and operating a prototype robot.

The purpose of this study is to develop a mathematical model for system identification in order to predIct muscle force based on eledromyographic signal. Therefore, a finding of the relalionship between characteristics of electromyographic signal and the corre spondng muscle force should be necessiiry through dynamic, joint model. To develop the dynamic joint model, the upper limb mcludmg the wrist and elbow joint has been considered. The kinematic and dynamic data, such as joint angular displacement, velocity, deceleration along with the moment of inertla, required to establish the dynamic model has been obtained by electrical flexible goniometer which has two degree-of-frcedoms. ln this model, muscle force can be predicted only electromyographs through the relationship between the integrated lorce and the mtegrated electromyographic signal over the duration of muscle contraclion in this study.

This paper proposes a method of designing and controlling delta robots with low-cost DC motors, which are widely used in the automation process. Simulation was performed by interpreting the mechanics and dynamics of the delta robot, and based on this analysis, low-cost DC motor was selected. Experiments were conducted to obtain characteristic values of motors and the current-position cascade control system was designed and implemented. In order to verify the feasibility of the proposed system, the experiment to check that the end-effector of the delta robot follows the target path was progressed. Through the experiment, the limitations of using low-cost motors were overcome by designing compensation algorithms and the performance of the position control was verified.
