We studied the postural response induced by plantar sole vibration with various frequencies(20, 60, 100Hz) and vibration zone(the anterior and posterior foot zone) of both soles during standing. Eight healthy young adults were exposed to 15s periods of plantar sole vibration while blindfolded. Body sway(COM, center of mass), the angle of neck, trunk, hip, knee, ankle and EMG of four lower limb muscles(tibialis anterior, lateral and medial gastrocnemial, soleus muscle) were recorded during 15s plantar sole vibration using 3D motion analysis system. Simulating each zone separately resulted in spatially oriented body tilts; oppositely directed backward and forward, respectively, the amplitude of which was proportional to the vibration frequency. EMG activity of lower limb muscles also varied according to the direction of the vibration zone and linearly according to the frequency. These findings led us to consider the plantar sole vibration as useful method of postural balance control and adjustment.

In many cases, geothemal wells will not be opened up a geothermal reservoir under such conditions that an extraction of geothermal energy is economically viable without any further measures. Geothermal wells often have to be stimulated, in order to increase productivity. For the non-volcanic area, such as Korea, the hydraulic stimulation is necessary to complete geothermal power plant. The analysis of induced seismic event showed that the thermal resource might have a much wider extent and a much higher generation potential than previously assumed. In order to record compressional and shear waves emitted during fracture stimulation, three-component geophones are placed in a seismometer. The recorded data from one seismometer is the convolution of the source magnitude, the transmission media, and the sensitivity of the instrument.

In this study, survey experiment and EEG test was carried out to know the effect of visual images on EEG for evaluating words of soundscape sound source with 18 subjects. Analysis on the EEG were executed to know the difference according to with and without visual images. Followings are results of this study. 1) There is no big difference with visual images in soundscape sound evaluating adjectives such as "Full", "Clear", "Enjoyable" whereas there is a big difference in soundscape sound evaluating adjectives such as "Pleasant", "Comfortable", "Gentle", "Sonorous". 2) There is a tendency that soundscape sound source which is consist of single sound source shows + 1 above increase in survey test when visual image is suggested whereas soundscape sound source which is consist of one more sound source shows - 1 below decrease in survey test. 3) Statistical analysis was used to know considerable probability. ${\alpha}$-wave has a considerable probability and Maximum level difference occurring brain spots were number 1 and 2.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 7Hz vibration on the thickness of the rectus femoris, medial femur, rectus femoris tendon, and Achilles tendon. Methods: The statistical methods before and after working around the average value of each of the legs included repeated measures ANOVA. The subjects were 26 males residing in the N area, and we measured the change in muscle thickness and tendon thickness before, four weeks, and eight weeks after the experiment in two groups of 13 subjects each. The analysis method was a two-way repeated measurement variance analysis (ANOVA) with a significance level of 0.05 Results: The rectus femoris, medial broad muscle, rectus femur, and Achilles tendon showed significant increases in the interaction between the periods as well as between the periods and groups (p < 0.05). Conclusion: As a result of this study, the 7Hz vibration had a positive effect on the thickness of the rectus femoris and the vastus medialis muscle as well as the thickness of the rectus femoris tendon and Achilles tendon. It is expected to be used as basic data for vibrational exercises in the future studies and is expected to be used as an exercise to strengthen the leg muscles and tendons.

청각 및 후각의 다감각 자극을 통하여 에너지를 절감하기 위하여 불쾌해진 촉각을 보상함으로써 에너지는 절감하면서 근무자의 뉴로에너지(쾌적성, 집중력, 신체적 및 심리적 안정 등)는 증강시키는 연구를 하였다. 온도 $25[^{\circ}C]$, 상대습도 50[RH%], 조도 1,000[lux] 및 기류 속도 0.02[m/sec]의 항온 항습실에서 1/f의 변동리듬으로 청각을 자극하고 아로마 향기로 후각을 자극하여 실험을 진행하였으며, 접촉식으로 인체의 심리상태를 측정하는 뇌파, 학습능력 및 심박동변이도와 비접촉식으로 심리상태를 측정하는 진동이미지 방법을 사용하였다. 피험자는 신체적으로 활동하는데 지장이 없고, 심신의 안정과 집중력의 최대 상태를 가져오는 상대 ${\alpha}$파(8~13[Hz])의 활성도가 후두엽에서 높은 유형인 20대 대학생 8명(남성 4명, 여성 4명)으로 선정하였다. 측정자세는 쾌적한 열적 환경에서 의자에 착석해 안정을 취하고 있을 때의 활동량으로써 1met로 하였으며, 착의량 상태는 약 0.7clo로 통일하였다. 측정결과 쟈스민 향기와 변동리듬 a=1.106 음원의 다감각자극에서 감성 및 심신안정과 집중력이 가장 높아졌으며, 상대$M{\alpha}$파와 상대$M{\beta}$파가 각각 70.49[%], 89.72[%] 증가하였고, HRT는 38.09[%] 감소하였으며, 피로도와 긴장 불안은 각각 36.85[%], 15.54[%] 감소하였다.

그라우팅 공법은 연약지반의 보강과 방수 및 지하수위저하 또는 상승과 진동으로 인한 침하 및 부등침하로 손상된 구조물의 지지력을 높이고 차수를 높이는 목적으로 사용된다. 본 연구는 보강섬유를 이용하여 그라우트재료의 강도와 경화시간을 증대시키기 위하여 고로슬래그 기반의 무시멘트 그라우트재를 개발하고자 하였다. 이와 관련하여 본 연구에서는 고로슬래그 3종 미분말의 알칼리 자극제인 수산화칼슘을 미분말 형태로 배합하여 사용하였고 수산화칼슘의 함유량은 고로슬래그 미분말 대비 10, 20, 30%까지 치환하여 사용하였다. 또한 보강섬유 유무에 따른 강도를 비교하기 위하여 각 섬유를 0.5%씩 추가하여 실험을 수행하였다. 보강섬유인 아라미드 및 탄소섬유 함유량이 증가함에 따라 일축압축강도가 증가하였는데 이는 그라우트재 내에 섬유에 의한 가교작용이 일축압축강도를 증가시킨 것으로 확인할 수 있다. 또한 알칼리자극제의 함유량이 증가할수록 일축압축강도가 증가하였으나 순수한 시멘트 100%일 때 보다는 낮은 강도를 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 알칼리자극제인 수산화칼슘이 고로슬래그 미분말과 반응했을 때 강도 증가에 영향을 미칠 수는 있으나, 시멘트와 비교하였을 때 미분말형태보다는 용액의 형태가 더 효과적이라는 것을 알 수 있다.

The pharmacological therapies and whole body vibration as non-pharmacological therapies were known to have adverse side effects. Therefore, partial stimulation was suggested and its effects were evaluated. This study aimed to evaluate the site-specific effects of partial stimulator for treatment of osteoporosis induced by estrogen deficiency. Sixteen virginal Sprague-Dawley rats (12 weeks old) were divided into 2 groups(no stimulation, stimulation groups). All rats were ovariectomised to induce osteoporosis. After 3 weeks of operation, the right tibiae in rats of stimulation group (frequency: 10Hz, cycle: 1500, strain on bone surface: $2000{\mu}{\varepsilon}$) were stimulated perpendicularly at right tibia by using partial stimulator for 6 weeks (3days/week). The right tibiae in rats were scanned, before stimulation (0 week) and at 6 weeks after stimulation by using in-vivo micro computed tomography. For investigation of changes in morphological characteristics, structural parameters were measured and calculated. At 6 weeks the morphological characteristics (relative value) in stimulation group were significantly enhanced than those in no stimulation group (p<0.05). In this study, we find that after 6 weeks of partial stimulation, the morphological characteristics of tibia trabecular bone were enhanced. Thus, we concluded that partial stimulation could be used to treat osteoporosis.

Research involving discomfort or pain related to haptic vibratory stimulation the for prosthesis users of myoelectrical hand is very lacking. Our objective of this study was to evaluate the displeasure and sensitivity of areas in forearm using vibration stimulation system between upper limb amputees and non-amputees. Twenty transradial amputees and forty non-amputees (20 youth, 20 elderly) were involved. We set up custom-made vibration stimulation system including eight actuators (4 medial parts and 4 lateral parts) and GUI-based acquisition system, to investigate changes of residual somatosensory sensibility and displeasure at proximal 25% of forearm. Eight vibration actuators were attached to the circumference of proximal 25% point of forearm at regular intervals. Sensitivity tests were used to stimulate the 120Hz and discomfort experiment was used to 37 ~ 223Hz. The subjective responses were evaluated by 10 point scale. The results showed that both groups were similar in sensitive areas. Response at around of radius was most sensitive than other areas in all subjects. Elderly group do not appear discomfort of vibrotactile; however, youth group and amputee presented discomfort of vibrotactile. Prosthesis with a vibrotactile feedback system should be developed considering the sensitivity. Furthermore, Future studies should investigate the scope of application of that principle.

BLDC 모터의 진동 및 소음의 원인인 영구자석과 슬롯 개구부 형상에 의한 코깅토크를 저감시키기 위하여, RSM(Response Surface Method)과 FEM(Finite Element Method)를 이용하여 영구자석의 형상을 최적화 하였다. 최적화 과정은 총 2단계에 걸쳐 진행되었다. 1단계에서는 영구자석의 자극간격을 구하고, 2단계에서 자석의 형상을 변화시저 최적화한 결과, 최적화 전 후의 코깅도가, 최대 0.051[N.m]에서 0.029[N.m]로 약 50% 감소하였다.
