This paper investigates the kinematic and dynamic analysis of a spherical three degree of freedom parallel joint module, which is used in the exercise equipment for balance and leg-strength improvement of aged people. The joint module has three dyads which consist of two links and three revolute joints, and their all joints intersect at the global point located at the module's center. The paper shows the explicit mathematical procedure for deriving the closed form solutions in the inverse and forward position analysis of this parallel joint module. In velocity and acceleration analysis, we derived relations for joint velocities and accelerations of dyads and rotational velocity and acceleration of the top plate. For applying this module to rehabilitation exercise, we determined the dynamic model of the Korean males in their 50s and examined the model's results by dynamic model simulation.

척추경 나사못을 이용한 요추 유합술은 가장 보편적으로 사용되어지는 수술적 치료 방법이다. 과거 여러 연구들에서 이러한 척추 유합술의 임상적 우수성은 이미 입증 되었으며, 척추경 나사못은 시술 부위의 운동을 완전히 제한함으로써 높은 유합율을 얻을 수 있으나, 상대적으로 인접 분절의 조기 퇴행성 변화의 요인 중 하나로 보고되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 유한요소해석 방법을 이용하여 척추경 나사못 시술에 따른 척추체의 운동범위 및 인접 분절 추간판의 스트레스 증가량을 계산하였고, 척추경 나사못 모델과 유합 후 나사못 제거에 따른 모델 또 시술하기 전 정상모델과 비교하여 생체 역학적 측면에서 분석하여 척추경 나사못을 이용한 요추 유합술 후, 척추경 나사못의 제거의 임상적 효과와 그 이론적 근거를 제시하고자 한다.

부분구조합성법의 하나인 구분모드합성법을 이용하여, 비선형 진동해석을 행하는 새로운 방법을 제안하였다. 제안하는 방법은 비선형 운동방정식에 섭동법을 이용하여 미소변동량에 관하여 정리한 각 차수의 운동방정식에 구분모드합성법을 적용하였다. 여기서 1차의 운동방정식의 외력항은 0차의 변위로 표현하는 것에 의해 각차의 운동방정식을 풀었다. 또한, 제안한 방법을 이용하여 문형구조모델의 비선형 강제진동 시각역응답을 구하고, 그 계산결과에 관해서 검토했다. 그 결과, 본 해석방법을 특히 감쇠가 없는 경우에 있어서 비선형이 실현되고 있는 것이 확인되었다.

MEMS accelerometer provides a low cost alternative in retrieving the acceleration signal for motion sensing. Theoretically, displacement can be calculated by double integrate the acceleration signal. However, in practical, it could not be done in straight forward manner due to several factors that exist in the real world. This experiment focuses on the processes from practical accelerometer signal acquisition till the result of double integration for low frequency vertical motion.

In this study, Constraint Force Equation Methodology (CFEM) is used to develop a multi-body dynamic analysis program with constraints. Seven constraint models are implemented to analyze constraint motions of multiple bodies. The augmented equations with the constraints are solved with the 4th order Runge-Kutta method for higher degree of accuracy. The analysis code is verified by comparing the analysis results of the motion of bodies with various constraints to published results.

지금까지 양산단층에 대한 운동학적 해석은 단지 지질분포 특성의 차이를 근거로 단순 우수주향이동으로 해석해왔다. 그러나 일반적으로 대규모 단층들은 단계적으로 서로 다른 운동체계에서 복합적인 발달과정을 거치면서 현재의 모습으로 보인다. 따라서 양산단층의 주변 지질구조와 운동학적 관계를 알아보기 위하여 양산단층 주변의 지질분포, 지질구조, 단층주변의 소단층들에 대한 특성을 분석하였다. 양산단층 주변 퇴적암의 층리면 자세는 양산단 층이 동일한 사건의 주향이동으로 형성된 단층예인의 특성이 아니라 서로 다른 응력축의 지배를 받았거나 서로 다른 크기의 운동을 받았음을 암시하고 있다. 또한 단층의 주향을 따라 단층대 폭의 변화를 살펴본 결과 크게 5개의 주기를 가지면서 변화되고 각각의 주기는 약 25-30 km 로 규칙적으로 나타난다. 또한 단층조선이 발달된 소단층의 분석결과들은 양산단층이 한번의 운동으로 발달한 것이 아니라 매우 복잡하고 다양한 사건들을 겪은 다중 변형의 산물임을 지시하고 있다.

Seismic ground motion can vary significantly over distances comparable to the length of a majority of highway bridges on multiple supports. This paper presents results of fragility analysis of two actual highway bridges under ground motion with spatial variation. Ground motion time histories are artificially generated with different amplitudes, phases, as well as frequency contents at different support locations. Monte Carlo simulation is performed to study dynamic responses of the bridges under these ground motions. The effect of spatial variation on the seismic response is systematically examined and the resulting fragility curves are compared with those under identical support ground motion. This study shows that ductility demands for the bridge columns can be underestimated if the bridge is analyzed using identical support ground motions rather than differential support ground motions. Fragility curves are developed as functions of different measures of ground motion intensity including peak ground acceleration(PGA), peak ground velocity(PGV), spectral acceleration(SA), spectral velocity(SV) and spectral intensity(SI). This study represents a first attempt to develop fragility curves under spatially varying ground motion and provides information useful for improvement of the current seismic design codes so as to account for the effects of spatial variation in the seismic design of long-span bridges.

Biomechanical analysis of arm motion during steering was performed using a motion analysis technique. Three-dimensional position data for each part of arm are fed into an interactive model combining a musculoskeletal arm model and the mechanical steering system to calculate joint angles and torques using inverse kinematic and dynamic analyses, respectively. The analysis shows that elbow pronation/supination, wrist flexion/extension, shoulder adduction/abduction, and shoulder flexion/extension have significant magnitudes. Sensitivity analysis of the arm joint motion with respect to seating posture and steering wheel configuration is carried out to investigate the qualitative influence of the seating posture and driver's seat configuration on the steering behavior.

The simplified model for 3-dimensional analysis of vehicle-bridge interactions is presented in this study. By using the analysis model which includes the eccentricity of axle loads and the effect of the torsional forces acting on the bridge, the more accurate analysis results of the behavior of the bridge can be obtained. The equations of kinetic energy, potential energy and damping energy are expressed by degrees of freedom of the vehicle and the bridge. And then by applying Lagrange's equations of motion, the equations of motion of the vehicle and the bridge are obtained. By deriving the equations of forces acting on the bridge considering the vehicle-bridge vertical interactions and also by identifying the position of vehicle as time goes by, mass matrix, stiffness matrix, damping matrix and load vector of vehicle-bridge system are constructed in accordance with the position of vehicles. Then using Newmark's β-method(average acceleration), the equations of motion for the total vehicle bridge system are solved.

In the present study, a 2-D chimera technique for overlapped bodies in relative motion is developed using unstructured triangular meshes. The solid boundary nodes located next to the intersecting point between bodies are merged to the intersecting point to assure accurate representation of the intersecting region. In order to assign proper value of flow variables at the nodes located out of the computational field, interpolation is conducted for non-active nodes. For validation, the motions of a NACA64A006 airfoil and a NACA0012 airfoil with a plane flap are computed and the results are compared with other simulations. The motion of a launching missile ejected from a NACA0012 airfoil is also simulated.
