With recent advancements in autonomous driving technology, vehicles are evolving beyond being simple means of transportation to become spaces for rest and work. As a result, the development of seat frames that maximize the use of interior space has been actively pursued. In particular, the electrification of containment sinking seats has emerged as a significant challenge, especially regarding the structural strength design of seat frame components as they transition from manual to automated systems. This study aims to convert the manual folding mechanism of the sinking seat frame into an automated mechanism using electric motors and to design the required component specifications and strength during the process. The main components for electrification were simplified, and, in particular, the design variables related to the placement angle and length of the electric motor applied to the cushion bracket were set at three levels, with subsequent 3D modeling conducted. The study results are as follows: Firstly, multi-body dynamic analysis showed that, compared to the standard configuration, an optimal motor arrangement angle can reduce motor force and torque by 30.25% and 6.7%, respectively. Secondly, strength analysis, considering the maximum allowable motor load and rear moment for each cushion bracket configuration, indicated that deformation and stress could be reduced by 13.76% and 34.95%, respectively, through the optimal angle and length. Finally, the optimal configuration of the cushion bracket, which aligns with the multi-body dynamic analysis results, was determined. This process is expected to provide a useful reference for future design strategies for automated seat frames.

버트리스 푸팅 케슨(Buttress footing caisson) 및 상형 푸팅 케슨의 역학특성을 해명하고 구조설계법을 검토할 목적으로 재하실험을 실시했다. 재하실험에는 배근의 제약등을 고려해서 실구조물의 1/4정도의 대형모형공시체를 사용해서 푸팅부를 중심으로 해석하기위해 푸팅에 선분포하중을 재하했다. 유한요소법에 따른 선형구조해석을 실시하여 변위, 단면력과 한계상황설계법에서의 산정식에서 얻어진 단면내력과를 비교하여 동설계법의 케슨구조물에 대한 적용성에 관하여 고찰했다. 이 보고로써 얻어진 주요한 결론은 아래와 같다. (1) 재하실험에 의하면 버트리스 푸팅공시체의 파괴형식은 버트리스부의 철근에 연한 부착할열파괴였다. 또 상형푸팅공시체에서는 푸팅부의 내면전단파괴였다. 양구조물을 설계할 때는 종래의 면외력만의 검토뿐아니라 면내력도 적절히 평가할 필요가 있다. (2) 양공시체 함께 푸팅 케슨본체와의 접합부 및 푸팅과 상자옆쪽의 벽과의 접합부에 변형이 일어나 종래의 판구조설계에서 가정하고 있는 판주변의 고정조건이 만족되지 않았다. 따라서 케슨구조물의 구조해석에서 구조전체계를 취급할 필요가 있고 부재단위에서는 단면력을 과대 또는 과소로 산정할 우려가 있다. (3) 철근강복시정도까지는 구조전체계를 모델화한 유한요소법에 의한 선형구조해석결과와 실험결과가 잘 일치했다. (4) 한계상태설계법에서의 굽음내력, 전단내력 및 구열폭의 산정식은 실험결과와 비교해서 어느쪽이나 안전측의 치를 부여했다.

Adsorption characteristics of acid green 27 dye using activated carbon were investigated as function of adsorbent dose, pH, initial concentration, contact time and temperature. Freundlich isotherm explained adsorption of acid green 27 dye very well and Freundlich separation factors (1/n=0.293~0.387) were found that this process could be employed as effective treatment method. Kinetic studies showed that the kinetic data were well described by the pseudo second-order kinetic model. Pseudo second rate constant ($k_2$) decreased with the increase in initial acid green 27 concentration. Activation energy (10.457 kJ/mol) and enthalpy (79.946 kJ/mol) indicated that adsorption process was physisorption and endothermic. Since Gibbs free energy decreased with increasing temperature, spontaneity of adsorption reaction increased with increasing temperature in the temperature range of 298 K~318 K.

The adsorption characteristics of the major tar compound, acenaphthene, derived from Taxus chinensis by the commercial adsorbent Sylopute were investigated using different parameters such as initial acenaphthene concentration, adsorption temperature, and contact time. Out of Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm models, adsorption data were best described by Langmuir isotherm. The adsorption kinetics was evaluated by pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and intraparticle diffusion models. The pseudo-second-order model was found to explain the adsorption kinetics most effectively. Thermodynamic parameters revealed the feasibility, nonspontaneity and exothermic nature of adsorption. In addition, the isosteric heat of adsorption was independent of surface loading indicating the Sylopute used as an energetically homogeneous surface.

Static and dynamic responses of micro cantilever beam structures undertaking electrostatic forces are obtained employing Galerkin's method based on Euler beam theory. Variations of static and dynamic responses as well as resonant frequencies are estimated for several sets of beam properties and applied voltages. It is shown that the applied voltage influences the deflection and the modal characteristics significantly. Such information can be usefully employed for the design of MEMS structures.

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are conducted to investigate the thermophysical characteristics and the stability of liquid threads for various conditions. A cylindrical thread in the simulation domain is made of Lennard-Jones molecules. The surface tension of liquid threads can be determined from local densities, local normal and transverse components of the pressure force. In order to understand the effects of thread radii on surface tensions, the Tolman equation is modified on the basis of the cylindrical coordinates for prediction of surface tensions. Surface tensions calculated from the MD simulation agree with the prediction from the modified Tolman equation. In addition, surface tensions decrease linearly with increasing system temperature. For a binary system, the surface tension decreased linearly compared to that for a pure system with increasing binary ratio of solute molecules which have relatively large value of the affinity coefficient. For a fixed binary ratio, the surface tension increased slightly with the affinity coefficient and the maximum value appear around where the affinity coefficient is 1.5 and decreased rapidly for upper value of 1.5. In addition, the critical wavelengths of perturbations are proven to be directly proportional to the equimolar dividing radii of the liquid threads.

A nonequilibrium molecular dynamics(NEMD) simulation method is developed and applied to study shock waves propagating through argon gas. In this simulation method, shock waves are generated by pushing a piston at a constant speed from one side of a simulation box filled with argon molecules. A linear relationship between piston speeds and shock speeds is observed. Thermodynamic properties including density, temperature, and pressure before and after the shock front are obtained from the simulations and compared with the well-known Rankine-Hugoniot equations based on ideal gases. The comparison shows an excellent agreement, indicating that this NEMD simulation method can be employed to investigate various physical properties of shock waves further.

To improve the energy efficiency and ride quality of an electric vehicle, it is highly desirable to develop a lightweight suspension system with high travel ratio. Air suspension systems with a rubber tube are often considered optimal for such requirements. In this study, a new lightweight air suspension system with high travel ratio was developed for use in electric vehicles. Furthermore, an FE-based multi-flexible-body dynamics (MFBD) model of the suspension system was developed as a tool for improving the design of an actual suspension system. The MFBD model includes the FE modeling of the rubber tube module as well as other essential parts of the air suspension system. The system parameters for the model were obtained from various experiments. The validity of the developed MFBD model was shown through a comparison between the experimental results and the simulation results.

A flying drone generates vibrations in a great variety of frequencies, and it requires a gimbal system stabilization loop design in order to obtain clean and accurate image from the camera attached to the drone under this environment. The gimbal system for drone comprises the structure that supports the camera module and the stabilization loop which follows the precise angle while blocking the vibration from outside. This study developed a dynamic model for one axis for the stabilization loop design of a gimbal system for drones and applied classical PID controller and intelligent PID controller. The Stabilization loop design was developed by using MATLAB/Simulink and compared the performance of each controller through simulation. Especially, the intelligent PID controller can be designed almost without the dynamic model and it demonstrates that the angle can be followed without readjusting the parameters of the controller even when the characteristics of the model changes.
