Large steel industries have nonlinear loads including electric arc furnaces and harmonic field measurements have shown that harmonic content of a waveform varies with time. Since the large loads are supplied from the power system grid, it must be recognized that not only will the system of utility be impacted, but neighboring customer system could be impacted as well. In this paper time-varying harmonics are evaluated by international harmonic standards IEEE Std. 519 and IEC 61000-3-6 using a cumulative probablistic approach.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury prevention program on the ground reaction force during the rebound in female highschool basketball players. Sixteen highschool female basketball players (ages 16 to 18 years) were participated in this study. Eight of these players participated in a 8-week ACL injury prevention program. Before and After ACL injury prevention program, initial peak value(%BW), maximum peak value(%BW), impulse(%BW sec), and loading rate(N/sec) were measured in the players. The experiment group after ACL injury prevention program showed significant decreased initial peak value, impulse, and loading rate.

Renewable energy resources are rapidly becoming an integral part of electricity generation portfolios around the world due to declining costs, government subsidies, and corporate sustainability goal. Interacting wind, solar, and load forecast errors can create significant unpredictable impacts on the distribution system, feeder congestion, voltage standard and reactive power stability margins. These impacts will be increasing with the increasing penetration levels of variable renewable generation in the power systems. There is a limit to the maximum amount of renewable energy sources that can be connected in a distribution feeder by the connection rule of transmission & distribution facility in Korea. This study represents the decision plans of hosting capacity for distribution feeders without the need for significant upgrades to the existing transmission infrastructure. Especially, the paper suggests and discusses the hosting capacity standard of feeder cables and minimum load calculation of distribution feeders.

자동차용 Alloy Wheel은 차량의 수직하중이나 가로 방향 하중, 구동, 제동토크 등 주행 시에 발생하는 여러 형태의 응력을 받으면서 사용되므로 이러한 응력을 견딜 수 있는 강성은 물론 차량 부품으로서의 요구 수명도 만족하여야 한다. 알루미늄 휠은 개발 후 규격에 준하는 내구성 평가를 위하여 반경 방향 부하 내구시험과 굽힘모멘트 내구시험과 주행 중 요철이나 벽돌 등에 의한 노면으로부터 갑작스런 하중에 대한 내충격성 평가를 위한 충격시험이 실행되고 있다. 이러한 시험은 많은 시간이 소요되고 있으며, 또한 시험 중 불합격 판정이 날 경우 또다시 처음의 공정을 모두 거쳐 다시 시험을 하게 된다. 3 Piece와 같은 알루미늄 휠은 여러 공정에 의한 생산되어지기 때문에 많은 시간적, 물질적 손실이 일어나고 있다. 따라서 자동차용 알루미늄 휠의 요구조건을 충분히 만족시키며 소비자의 요구에 맞는 품질과 시간을 충족시켜 기업경쟁력 확보는 물론 원가절감에 의한 기업 경쟁력 향상을 위하여 설계 단계서부터 시험조건을 고려한 내구성 해석에 의한 알루미늄 휠의 시험횟수를 단축하고자 한다. 본 논문에서는 3 Piece 알루미늄 휠의 축(shaft)하중에 의한 내구성 평가에 대하여 CAE시스템을 이용하여 보다 빠르고 정확한 결과를 산출함으로서 설계시간의 단축은 물론 다양한 형상의 제품들을 설계단계에서부터 생산에 이르기까지의 해석활용법을 수립하고자 하였다.

Friction springs have different characteristics while loading and un-loading. Because of these characteristics, they are utilized in impact systems. In this paper, the design of a recoil system with friction springs for use in a machine gun system has been presented. In order to determine the stiffness of a friction spring, equations of motion for a simple gun model with a recoil system have been derived. The impulse balance scheme has been adopted. On the basis of simulation results, the diameter of the friction spring has been determined.

Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) is well adopted for community wastewater treatment for its simplicity, performance and various advantageous treatment options. SBR is now drawing attention for its process modification such as coupled with membrane bioreactor, reverse osmosis or applying different media to achieve high removal efficiency. This study focused on the improved efficiency of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorous removal by applying zeolite materials called bioceramics to the SBR. Two laboratory-scale SBR units were operated in the same operating conditions - one with bioceramics called Bioceramic SBR (BCSBR) and the other without bioceramics used as control. Routine monitoring of COD, TP, $NH_3-N$, $NO_3-N$ was performed throughout this study. COD removal was about 80% to 100% and phosphorous removal was about 60% in the process whereas $NH_3-N$ removal efficiency was found to be 99.9% in the BCSBR unit. Addition of bioceramics also improved sludge characteristics such as sludge dewaterability, specific gravity and particle size. BCSBR can withstand high ammonia shock loading leading to the better treatment capacity of high ammonia containing wastewater. The cause of improved removal efficiencies within the biological reactor could be attributed to the biochemosorption mechanisms of bioceramics. Absorption/adsorption or desorption capacity of bioceramics was tested through laboratory experiments.

The purpose of this study was to determine how spandex pants affect impact force and muscle activities in the lower extremity. Seven pairs of surface electrodes were attached to the right-hand side of the body. Paired t-test was performed to test if significant difference exist between two conditions(p< .05). The average IEMG activities in the TA, BF, and GM during the landing phase reduced significantly with spandex pants compared to regular pants. All peak IEMG activities except the RF in wearing spandex pants group were significantly greater than the corresponding values in wearing regular pants one. The greater muscle activity recorded in wearing spandex pants can be attributed to the greater motor unit recruitment needed to decelerate and stabilized their bodies. Impact force and loading rate were not significantly decreased with wearing spandex pants. Since the spandex pants used in this study were not custom-fit based on girth of each participants thigh and shank, compression and elasticity for the pants could not be optimized.

The bedsore prevention cushion serves to prevent the skin on the buttocks of a wheelchair user from being damaged through friction with the wheelchair seat. This is because it absorbs some of the weight applied to the wheelchair seat and allows the weight to be applied evenly to the entire contact surface. For the impact test, which is part of the performance testing of bedsore prevention cushions, a hip model that represents the sitting posture of a wheelchair user is required. In this study, a hip model was manufactured for impact testing of bedsore prevention cushions for wheelchairs. Performance tests for pressure bedsore prevention cushions for wheelchairs include KSP 0236, a Korean standard, and KS P ISO 16840-2, an ISO international standard. The hip model proposed in KS P ISO 16840-2 was more suitable for impact testing of bedsore prevention cushions for wheelchairs. However, the guidelines for making hip models proposed by international standards need to be modified to reflect the advancement of model making technology and use easier methods. We propose a new hip model production method that produces a hip model out of plastic all at once and additionally attaches SS-41 steel plates processed into the shape of the hip to make the mass of the model similar to the human body.
