This paper shows the feasibility of using carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite materials for manufacturing automotive coil springs. For achieving weight reduction by replacing steel with composite materials, it is essential to optimize the material parameters and design variables of the coil spring. First, the shear modulus of a CFRP beam model, which has $45^{\circ}$ ply angles for maximum torsional stiffness, was calculated and compared with the test results. The diameter of the composite spring was predicted to be 17.5 mm for ensuring a spring rate equal to that when using steel material. Finally, a finite element model of the composite coil spring with $45^{\circ}$ ply angles and 17.5 mm wire diameter was constructed and analyzed for obtaining the static spring rate, which was then compared with experimental results.

정밀 삼차원 미세 형상 측정기에서 성능의 관건은 고속, 고분해능으로 측정하는 것이다. 그러기 위해서는 공진주파수가 높아야 하고 스프링 상수가 작아야 한다. 광포획 현미경(optical trap microscope, OTM)은 광포획 된 마이크로 입자를 프로브로 사용하는 것으로 입자에 작용하는 복원력이 광에 의한 힘뿐이므로 스프링 상수가 낮다. 또한 공진주파수는 f=√k/m 으로 입자의 질량이 매우 작으므로 공진주파수도 비교적 높다. (중략)

In a haptic system, a virtual wall is modeled as a virtual spring. The larger the stiffness of the virtual spring is, the more improved the reality of the virtual wall is, but the more unstable the haptic system becomes. This paper shows how to increase the stiffness of the virtual spring while the stability of the haptic system is guaranteed and shows the effects of a mass (Md) and a damper (Bd) of a haptic device on the stability when first-order hold method is applied and a virtual wall is modeled as a virtual spring (Kw). The simulation results show the boundary of the virtual spring is proportional to the square root of the mass (Md) and the damper (Bd) while maintaining the stability. The relation among the virtual spring (Kw), the mass (Md) and the damper (Bd) of the haptic device, and sampling time (T) is inferred as $K_w{\leq}{1.611M_d}^{0.50}{B_d}^{0.50}T^{-1.51}$, by using the simulation results. The maximum available stiffness of the virtual spring in first-order hold method is larger than in zero-order hold method. So the reality of the virtual wall can be improved.

In order to analyze a pile constructed by vibro-hammer, vibrational characteristics of vibro-hammer should be investigated first. Analytical studies were conducted in order to investigate vibrational properties of vibro-hammer. It is thought that the concept of acting the spring force to the pile head should be replaced by the concept of considering the lumped mass of the exciter and the pile. For the situation of free vibration, spring force increase with increase of spring constant and the amplitude is little affected by the spring constant. Also for the situation of free vibration, amplitude is inversely proportional to the increase of mass of the exciter and it can be seen that spring force increase with amplitude by the same ratio. It can be seen that directions of the spring force and displacement are opposite to that of rotating mass.

This study is to choose the most proper model for AGV throughout simulation of behavior of suspension to reduce trial and error because there is no AGV treating heavy weight at harbor loading and unloading at home. Therefore, we estimate the vibration modes of the various suspensions applied to AGV, which is over 75 ton included the weight of two containers using the Matlab in the case of G and 5G, one of the simulation programs.

Influence of lateral spring constant on energy dissipation and load reduction factor with erespect to lateral vibration of steel sheet pile installed by vibratory pile driver. Energy dissipation and load reduction factor varying with free length of steel sheet pile are more affected by eccentricity than flexural rigidity of steel sheet pile regardless of the magnitudes of lateral spring constants. Load reduction factors were converged when lateral spring constant was equal or larger than 10000N/m.

This paper presents an analytical modeling technique fer representing a hysteretic behavior of a multi-leaf spring used for a large truck. It divides a nonlinear hysteretic curve of the multi-leaf spring into four parts; loading part, unloading part and two transition parts. It provides conditions fur branching to a part of the curve corresponding to a current multi-leaf spring status. This paper also presents a computational modeling technique of the multi-leaf spring. It models the multi-leaf spring with three links and a shackle. It assumes those components as rigid bodies. The links are connected by rotational joints, and have rotational springs at the joints. The spring constants of the rotational springs are computed with a force from the analytical model of the hysteretic curve of the multi-leaf spring. Static and dynamic tests are performed to verify the reliability of the presented techniques. The tests are performed with various amplitudes and excitation frequencies. The hysteretic curves from the tests are compared with those from the simulations. Since th e presented techniques reproduce the hysteretic characteristic of the multi -leaf spring faithfully, they contribute on improving the reliability of the computational model of a large truck.

In this research, full-scale fire test was performed on a real house for the evaluation of the performance of waterworks direct-coupled sprinkler system. The fire was set to occur as spontaneous combustion as the cooking oil overheats. The size of house is $56m^2$ and it consists of a living room, a kitchen, and a room. In order to verify the performance of waterworks direct-coupled sprinkler system, it was installed in the kitchen. The result of the test showed that the fire started from the kitchen enlarged up to its ceiling but it was soon exhausted as the sprinkler started to work. The pressure of the waterworks was 0.28 MPa when the sprinkler operated, by which it verified that fire could go out even by waterworks pressure of the general residence.

On the stability of the Beck's column with a tip mass, the influence of the characteristics of the springs at the fixed end of the column are studied. The equations of motion and boundary conditions of this system are established by using the Hamiton's principle. On the evaluation of the stability of the column, t he effect of the shear deformation and rotatory inertial is considered in calculation. For the maintenance of the stability of the column, it is proved that the constant of the translational spring at the fixed end must be very large while th magnitude of the constant of the rotational spring at the fixed end has no effect. When the constants of the springs at the fixed end are small, it is also proved that the influence of the moment of inertial of the tip mass on the stability of the column are decreased and for the translational spring the degree of the decrease is more and more. Therefore it is found that the characteristics of the springs at the fixed end are very effective elements for the stability of the column when the columns subjected to a compressive follower force are designed.
