The effects of the statistical properties of the Coulomb friction coefficients on the dynamic responses of a galloping quadruped robot are investigated in this paper. In general, the Coulomb friction coefficients are assumed to be deterministic for a controller design to achieve required motion characteristics. However, the friction coefficients between the ground and the robot legs are not constant in reality. Therefore, statistical characteristics of the friction coefficients need to be considered for a multi-body modeling of the robot galloping on the ground. The effects of the statistical properties on the dynamic responses of the quadruped robots are investigated.

Impact is the most common type of dynamic loading conditions that give rise to impulsive forces and affects the vibrational characteristics of mechanical systems . Since the real impact force and acceleration at the contact surface are measured indirectly through the sensors, the measured outputs can be a little different from the real impact responses. In this study, the contact force model based on the Hertz law is proposed in order to predict the impact force correctly. To investigate the influence of the position of the sensor attached to the impacting bodies, the two kinds of sensors were used. Finally, the contact force model obtained by drop test was applied to predict the impact force between the moving part and the stopper in magnetic contactor.

In this paper, computer simulation model of handrail band including pulley-driving system is developed to calculate handrail slippage. This handrail simulation model is validated with test result within operating range and used to predict its slippage behavior with respect to variation of 4 different design parameters considering the applicability into the real handrail system. Based upon this parameter study, optimal condition for handrail slippage improvement is proposed without time-consuming and costly experiments of the real handrail system. And then performance improvement of handrail slippage complied with safety code is achieved after applying the optimal condition into the real handrail band system.

The elastic effects of the valve train components are analyzed by using the finite element models of the rocker arm and valve. The whole equations of motion of the valvetrain of an internal combustion engine formulated by finite element techniques are solved by imposing the contact conditions with the augmented Lagrange multiplier method. The velocity and acceleration constraints as well as the displacement constraints are imposed on the contact points. The numerical simulations show that, even if the magnitude of the elastic deformation of the components is very small, it may have large effects on the valvetrain dynamics of a high-speed engine.

본 연구에서는 유한요소 해석 방법을 이용하여 경추 유한요소 모델을 개발하고, 척추 인공디스크 수술 후 경추 분절의 생체역학적 특성을 평가하였다. 반구속 및 비구속 개념의 인공디스크가 삽입된 경추 유한요소 모델의 제 7 경추체를 완전히 고정시키고 추적 경로 방향의 50 N의 압축력을 가한 상태에서 1 Nm의 굴곡과 신전, 측면 굴곡, 비틀림 모멘트를 가하였다. 모든 방향의 하중 조건에서 인공디스크가 삽입된 경추 모델들의 회전량이 정상 경추 모델의 회전량에 비하여 크게 나타났다. 또한 인공디스크를 삽입한 운동 분절에서 정상에 비하여 후관절의 접촉력과 여섯 가지 주요 인대에 걸리는 응력이 높게 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 척추 인공디스크 수술 시 수술 방법의 선택뿐만 아니라 새로운 경추 수술용 임플란트 개발을 위한 인체정보 콘텐츠를 구축하는데 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This paper presents a study on the analysis of impact responses taking into account sensor dynamics. The contact force between impacting bodies is modelled by using Hertz force-displacement law and linear damping function. Since the real impact force and acceleration at the contact surface of two colliding bodies are measured indirectly by the sensors, the measured outputs can be a little different from the real impact responses. Therefore, in this study, the importance of consideration of sensor dynamics in the impact problems of two colliding bodies is emphasized. In order to verify the appropriateness of the proposed contact force model, the drop type impact test using two kinds of sensors is carried out. Through the numerical analysis and experiment, the effect of sensor dynamics and characteristics on the contact force model is investigated.

Water covers 70% of the earth's surface and the human body consist of 75% of it. It is clear that water is one of the prime elements responsible for life on earth. Over the last 30 years or so, numerous studies have attempted to find out more about the water microscopically. In this paper, we investigated how the receding and advancing contact angle of the moving water droplet changes on a solid surface having various LJ epsilon parameters. To observe the dynamic contact angle history, a body force applied to all water molecules after obtained the water droplet in equilibrium with the solid surface. We obtained the density profile and receding and advancing contact angle of the moving water droplet

소비자의 감성적 요구를 충족시킬 수 있는 직물 및 의류의 설계 및 생산을 위해서는 직물의 접촉시에 유발되는 감성반응의 객관적이고 정량화된 평가 체계의 개발이 절실히 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 질감을 표현하는 형용사들을 추출하여 최종적으로 18개의 감각 및 감성을 구분한 Likert Scale을 개발하였으며 이 척도의 신뢰도(reliability)는 매우 높았다. 이들 18개의 형용사는 요인분석 결과 5개의 주된 요인으로 묶였으며 구성타당도가 높은 척도이다. 19종의 내의 표본에 대한 세 차례의 측정을 통해 내의 직물의 선호도(감성)에 영향을 미치는 주된 감각적 감성요인을 추출하였다. 특히 "매끄러움", "부드러움". "섹시함". "편안함". "폭신함". 등의 감성요인이 선호직물과 비선호 직물을 매우 잘 구분해 주는 소비자의 대표적 감성으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 가장 중요한 결과로, Kawabata Evaluation System을 이용하여 시료 내의 직물의 16개 역학적 특성을 분석하였으며, 이들 특성이 감성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 회귀 분석을 통해 분석하였다. 본 연구의 시료직물 중 선호되는 내의류들은 폴리에스테르(속칭, 물실크)종류이었으며, 가장 비선호 되는 것들은 망사나 모시메리로 나타났다. 내의류 js호도에 가장 많은 영향을 미치는 주된 심리적 특성인 "매끄러움". "부드러움". "섹시함". "편안함" 그리고 "푹신함" 등을 결정짓는 방정식을 만들었다.

The variation in the shape of water droplet moving on atomistically smooth solid surface in the presence of a constant body force is simulated using molecular dynamics simulation. We investigated how the advancing and receding contact angle of the moving water droplet changes on a solid surface having various characteristic energies. From the MD simulation results, we obtained the density profile defined as the number of water molecules at a given position. Then, assuming the water droplet periphery to be a circle, we calculated the contact angles by using a nonlinear fitting of the half-density contour line. The present simulation clearly shows the different profile of the advancing and receding contact angle for these three different interaction potential between the water droplet and the solid surface.

Ultrasonic velocities are widely used in the investigation of material properties. In this paper, a micromechanics model and the ultrasonic velocity were used to develop a nondestructive method to determine the density variation due to porosity in structural SiC. The micromechanics model developed can consider the pore shape and orientation. The model also takes into account the interaction between pores so that it can be applied to the material with high porosity content. A contact pulse overlap method was used to measure the ultrasonic velocities of porous SiC samples, and there was a linear correlation between the velocity and density (or porosity). Using the model and the measured velocity, the bulk density can be easily calculated. The calculated density was in good agreement with that obtained by Archimedes' method.
