A tool for the dynamic simulation and design technique of the excavator plays an important role in the prediction of dynamic behavior of the excavator in the initial design stage. In this paper, a flexible multibody dynamic analysis model including track of the crawler type excavator is developed using DADS and ANSYS. Through the driving simulation of the excavator travelling over rough road track, frequency characteristics of the upper frame and cabin are obtained, and the reaction forces acting on the track rollers are also presented for the fatigue life estimation. The effect of boom vibration modes on the joint reaction forces and accelerations is presented from the swing simulation.

This investigation evaluates dynamic fracture characteristics of two alloy steels (STD-11 and STS-3) and a gray cast iron (GC-30). The dynamic fracture toughness of crack initiation and some of the dynamic fracturing characteristics were evaluated by using the instrumented Charpy impact testing procedures. It was found from experimental results for three kinds of materials that inertia force is directly proportional to impact velocity. The duration time of inertia force was found to be constant regardless of impact velocities in steel specimens.

The simplified plate theory is presented for static and free vibration analysis of power-law(P) and sigmoid(S) Functionally Graded Materials(FGM) plates. This theory considers the parabolic distribution of the transverse shear stress, and satisfies the condition that requires the transverse shear stress to be zero on the upper and lower surfaces of the plate, without the shear correction factor. The simplified plate theory uses only four unknown variables and shares strong similarities with classical plate theory(CPT) in many aspects such as stress-resultant expressions, equation of motion and boundary conditions. The material properties of the plate are assumed to vary according to the power-law and sigmoid distributions of the volume fractions of the constituents. The Hamilton's principle is used to derive the equations of motion and Winkler-Pasternak elastic foundation model is employed. The results of static and dynamic responses for a simply supported FGM plate are calculated and a comparative analysis is carried out. The results of the comparative analysis with the solutions of references show relevant and accurate results for static and free vibration problems of FGM plates. Analytical solutions for the static and free vibration problems are presented so as to reveal the effects of the power law index, elastic foundation parameter, and side-to-thickness ratio.

Purpose : Because of the rapid physical decay of the short half-lived radionuclide, counting of event for image is very limited. In this reason, long scan duration is applied for more accurate quantitative analysis in the relatively low sensitive examination. The aim of this study was to evaluate the difference according to scan duration and investigate the resonable scan duration using the radionuclide of 11C and 18F in PET scan. Materials and Methods : 1994-NEMA Phantom was filled with 11C of $30.08{\pm}4.22MBq$ and 18F of $40.08{\pm}8.29MBq$ diluted with distilled water. Dynamic images were acquired 20frames/1minute and static image was acquired for 20minutes with 11C. And dynamic images were acquired 20frames/2.5minutes and static image was acquired for 50minutes with 18F. All of data were applied with same reconstruction method and time decay correction. Region of interest (ROI) was set on the image, maximum radioactivity concentration (maxRC, kBq/mL) was compared. We compared maxRC with acquired dynamic image which was summed one bye one to increase the total scan duration. Results : maxRC over time of 11C was $3.85{\pm}0.45{\sim}5.15{\pm}0.50kBq/mL$ in dynamic image, and static image was $2.15{\pm}0.26kBq/mL$. In case of 18F, the maxRC was $9.09{\pm}0.42{\sim}9.48{\pm}0.31kBq/mL$ in dynamic image and $7.24{\pm}0.14kBq/mL$ in static. In summed image of 11C, as total scan duration was increased to 5, 10, 15, 20minutes, the maxRC were $2.47{\pm}0.4$, $2.22{\pm}0.37$, $2.08{\pm}0.42$, $1.95{\pm}0.55kBq/mL$ respectively. In case of 18F, the total scan duration was increased to 12.5, 25, 37.5, and 50minutes, the maxRC were $7.89{\pm}0.27$, $7.61{\pm}0.23$, $7.36{\pm}0.21$, $7.31{\pm}0.23kBq/mL$. Conclusion : As elapsed time was increased after completion of injection, the maxRC was increased by 33% and 4% in dynamic study of 11C and 18F respectively. Also the total scan duration was increased, the maxRC was reduced by 50% and 20% in summed image of 11C and 18F respectively. The percentage difference of each result is more larger in study using relatively shorter half-lived radionuclide. It appears that the accuracy of decay correction declined not only increment of scan duration but also increment of elapsed time from a starting point of acquisition. In study using 18F, there was no big difference so it's not necessary to consider error of quantitative evaluation according to elapsed time. It's recommended to apply additional decay correction method considering decay correction the error concerning elapsed time or to set the scan duration of static image less than 5minutes corresponding 25% of half life in study using shorter half-lived radionuclide as 11C.

The application of singular value decomposition (SVD) filtering is examined for attenuation of the ground-roll in land seismic data. Prior to the SVD computation to seek singular values containing the highly correlatable reflection energy, processing steps such as automatic gain control, elevation and refraction statics, NMO correction, and residual statics are performed to enhance the horizontal correlationships and continuities of reflections. Optimal parameters of SVD filtering are effectively chosen with diagnostic display of inverse NMO (INMO) corrected CSP (common shot point) gather. On the field data with dispersion of ground-roll overwhelmed, continuities of reflection events are much improved by SVD filtering than f-k filtering by eliminating the ground-roll with preserving the low-frequency reflections. This is well explained in the average amplitude spectra of the f-k and SVD filtered data. The reflectors including horizontal layer of the reservoir are much clearer on the stack section, with laminated events by SVD filtering and subsequent processing steps of spiking deconvolution and time-variant spectral whitening.

A CMOS rail-to-rail high voltage buffer amplifier is proposed to drive the gamma correction reference voltage of large TFT LCD panels. It is operating by a single supply and only shows current consumption of 0.5mA at 18V power supply voltage. The circuit is designed to drive the gamma correction voltage of 8-bit or 10-bit high resolution TFT LCD panels. The buffer has high slew rate, 0.5mA static current and 1k$\Omega$ resistive and capacitive load driving capability. Also, it offers wide supply range, offset voltages below 50mV at 5mA constant output current, and below 2.5mV input referred offset voltage. To achieve wide-swing input and output dynamic range, current mirrored n-channel differential amplifier, p-channel differential amplifier, a class-AB push-pull output stage and a input level detector using hysteresis comparator are applied. The proposed circuit is realized in a high voltage 0.18um 18V CMOS process technology for display driver IC. The circuit operates at supply voltages from 8V to 18V.

본 논문에서는 클록들을 주기적으로 동기화하는 분산 실시간 시스템에서 주어진 태스크의 시간 제약(timing constraint)을 변환시는 구가지 기법을 제안한다. 전형적인 이산 클록 동기화(discrete clock synchronization)알고리즘은 클록의 값을 순간적으로 보정(correct)하여 클록의 시간이 불연속적으로 진행학 한다. 이러한 시간상의 불연속성은 태스크의 시작제한시간(release time)이나 종료시한(deadline)과 같은 이벤트를 잃어버리거나 다시 발생시키는 오류를 범하게 한다. 클록 시간의 불연속성을 피하기 위해 일반적으로 연속 클록 동기화(continuous clock synchronization) 기법이제안되었지만 소프트웨어적으로 구현되기에는 많은 오버헤드를 유발시키는 문제점이 있다. 이에 따라 연속 클록 동기화는 PLL (Phase-Locked Loop)을 이용한 별도의 하드웨어를 사용하는 것이 보통이다. 본 논문에서는 연속 클록 동기화 기법을 사용하는 대신, 태스크의 시간 제약을 동적으로 변환시키는 DCT (Dynamic Constraint Transformation) 기법을 제안하였다. DCT는 소프트웨어 으로 구현이 가능하여 새로운 하드웨어를 필요로 하지 않으며, 이를 통해 기존의 이산적으로 동기화된 시스템에서 클록 시간의 불연속성에 의한 문제점들을 해결할 수 있다. 또 다른 문제점으로서, 클록의 물리적인 특성으로 인해 동기화된 클록들이 상한된(bounded from the above)오차(skew)를 갖는다는 것이다. 이러한 오차는 지역 클록(local clock)에 대해 만족될 수 있는 임의의 실기간 제약 조건이 전역 클록(global clock)에 대해서는 만족되지 않을 수 있음을 의미한다. 본 논문에서는 이를 위해 먼저 두 가지의 스케줄링 가능성, 지역적 스케줄링 가능서(local schedulability)과 전역적 스케줄링 가능성(global schedulability)을 정의하고, 실시간 제약을 정적으로 변환시키는 SCT (Static Constraint Transformation)기법을 제안하였다. SCT를 통해 지역적으로 스케줄링 가능한 태스크는 전역적으로 스케줄링이 가능하므로, 단지 지역적 스케줄링 가능성만을 검사하면서 스케줄링 문제를 해결할 수 있도록 하였다.

최근 연구들에서, 증강 현실(Augmented Reality; AR) 환경에서의 촉각 상호작용에 대한 가능성이 논의되었다. 비젼 기반의 트래킹을 기초로 한 증강 현실 기술은 미리 정의된 2차원 마커(marker)를 이용하여, 카메라로부터 획득된 실시간 영상 위에 가상 물체를 증강한다. 그러나, 카메라로부터 획득된 데이터는 몇몇 오차 요인들, 예를 들어 마커의 위치를 인식하는데 나타나는 오차, 카메라 안에 존재하는 센서 잡음 등으로 인해서 마커 잡음(마커를 인식하면서 나타나는 잡음)이 불가결하게 발생하게 된다. 이러한 이유로 인해서, 사용자가 한 손에는 마커를, 다른 한 손으로는 촉감 장치를 이용하여, 마커에 증강된 물체를 만질 때, 마커 잡음은 힘의 떨림(force trembling)을 발생시킨다. 심지어, 이러한 현상은 정지된 마커에 증강된, 마커가 움직이지 않는 상황에서도 발생한다. 게다가, 마커 위에 증강된 물체가 약간 빠른 속도로 이동하게 될 경우, 측정된 이동 거리는 연속적인 프레임(frame)들 간의 불연속적일 수 있다. 만약 사용자가, 대략 30Hz로 위치와 방향이 갱신되는 가상물체를 촉각적으로 상호작용하려 한다면, 계산되는 반력은 급작스런 힘의 변화를 생성하게 될 수도 있다. 이러한 현상을 극복하기 위해서, 마커 잡음을 최소화하기 위해서 정적 임계값(constant threshold)을 이용할 뿐만 아니라, 보간법을 같이 사용한 방법이 있었다. 하지만, 이러한 방법은 정적 임계값을 이용하고, 영상 프레임 갱신 속도와(video frame rate)와 촉각 프레임 갱신 속도가 일정하다는 가정을 사용하였기 때문에, 여전히 힘의 불연속적인 발생이 나타난다. 따라서, 이 논문에서는 두 가지 방법을 이용하여 증강 현실 내에서, 발생할 수 있는 힘의 불연속적인 변화를 보정하는 두 가지 방법, 잡음 제거를 위한 확장된 칼만 필터(Extend Kalman Filter)와 영상과 촉각 갱신 속도 차이에 따른 갑작스런 힘의 변화를 제거하기 위한 적응적 외삽법(Adaptive Extrapolation method)을 제안한다.

A numerical method of the CSF(Continuum Surface Force) model is presented for the calculation of the surface tension force and implemented in an in-house solution code(PowerCFD). The present method(code) employs an unstructured cell-centered method based on a conservative pressure-based finite-volume method with volume capturing method(CICSAM) in a volume of fluid(VOF) scheme for phase interface capturing. The application of the present method to a 2-D liquid drop problem is illustrated by an equilibrium and nonequilibrium oscillating drop calculation. It is found that the present method simulates efficiently and accurately surface tension-dominant multiphase flows.

Finite Element Method is a strong tool to analyse static and dynamic problem of a structure. FEM is a good method for static problem, but for dynamic problem there are some differences between real phenomena and analyzed phenomena. Therefore some modifications are needed to identify two results. In this paper authors propose a genetic algorithm method 1) to adjust dimensions of plate for identifying natural frequencies, 2) to fit amplitude of FEM Frequency Response Function(FRF) onto it of real FRF. Analysis by raw FEM data gave questions if the results were for the same object. By only adjusting Young's modulus much better accordances were obtained, but limitation existed still. Very good agreements were achieved by shape modification and damping coefficient identification.
