Calculating the displacements of retaining walls under seismic loads is a crucial part in optimum design of these structures and unfortunately the techniques based on active seismic pressure are not sufficient alone for an appropriate design of the wall. Using limit analysis concepts, the seismic displacements of retaining walls are studied in present research. In this regard, applying limit analysis method and upper bound theorem, a new procedure is proposed for calculating the yield acceleration, critical angle of failure wedge, and permanent displacements of retaining walls in seismic conditions for two failure mechanisms, namely sliding and sliding-rotational modes. Also, the effect of internal friction angle of soil, the friction angle between wall and soil, maximum acceleration of the earthquake and height of the wall all in the magnitude of seismic displacements has been investigated by the suggested method. Two sets of ground acceleration records related to near-field and far-field domains are employed in analyses and eventually the results obtained from the suggested method are compared with those from other techniques.

In this paper, we discuss a method for design of an ambulance stretcher which call decrease blood pressure fluctuation caused by ambulance acceleration. Recently, a lot of stretchers which can isolate the vertical vibration to reduce body resonances (4-10 Hz) have been used during ambulance transport. However, we have found that blood pressure of a patient laying in the stretcher fluctuates when the ambulance accelerates or decelerates. Since the enforced change of the blood pressure may deteriorate the patent's condition, a stretcher to cancel head-to-foot acceleration and to decrease the blood pressure variation (BPV) is expected for safe transport. We propose a method to design a stretcher which is tilted according to an adequate angle to cancel head-to-foot acceleration by gravity when the ambulance accelerates or decelerates. A control method of the stretcher is constructed by means of simulation analysis using acceleration data measured during ambulance transport. It is confirmed that the active controlled stretcher proposed has good performance for the BPV reduction.

MOdified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) is an alternative to the dark matter paradigm. MOND asserts that when the magnitude of acceleration is smaller than the acceleration parameter $a_0$, the response of the system to gravity is stronger (larger acceleration) than the one given by Newtonian dynamics. The current value of $a_0$ is obtained mostly by observations of spiral galaxies (rotation curves and the Tully-Fisher relation). We attempt to estimate $a_0$ from the dynamics of elliptical galaxies. We seek elliptical galaxies that act as the lens of gravitational lensing systems and have velocity dispersion data available. We analysed 65 Einstein rings from the Sloan Len ACS survey (SLACS). The mass estimates from gravitation lensing and velocity dispersion agree well with each other, and are consistent with the estimates from population synthesis with a Salpeter IMF. The value of $a_0$ obtained from this analysis agrees with the current value.

This article describes the analysis of stable grasping for multi-fingered robot. An analysis method of stable grasping, which is based on the three-dimensional acceleration convex polytope, is proposed. This method is derived from combining dynamic equations governing object motion and robot motion, force relationship and acceleration relationship between robot fingers and object's gravity center through contact condition, and constraint equations for satisfying no-slip conditions at every contact points. After mapping no-slip condition to torque space, we derived intersected region of given torque bounds and the mapped region in torque space so that the intersected region in torque space guarantees no excessive torque as well as no-slip at the contact points. The intersected region in torque space is mapped to an acceleration convex polytope corresponding to the maximum acceleration boundaries which can be exerted by the robot fingers under the given individual bounds of each joints torque and without causing slip at the contacts. As will be shown through the analysis and examples, the stable grasping depends on the joint driving torque limits, the posture and the mass of robot fingers, the configuration and the mass of an object, the grasp position, the friction coefficients between the object surface and finger end-effectors.

F-22, F-16 및 F-15와 같은 고성능 전투기는 전투성능의 극대화를 위해 고기동성(highly maneuverable)을 보유하고 있다. 이로 인해 고기동 시에 조종사는 고중력가속도(high gravity acceleration)에 노출되고 피로도(fatigue)의 증가로 임무효율의 저하가 발생하며, 심할 경우에는 의식상실(Gravity-induced Loss Of Consciousness, GLOC)에 직면할 수 있다. 선진 항공업체에서는 조종사가 고중력가속도에 견딜 수 있는 내성을 향상시켜 의식상실에 진입하는 것을 방지하는 다양한 기술을 항공기에 적용하고 있다. 특히, 가속도방호복(Anti-G Suit)은 GLOC으로 인한 의식 상실을 방지할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 전투 기동 시에 조종사의 피로를 감소시킴으로써 임무성공률을 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 초음속 고등훈련기 모델을 기반으로 하여 고기동 시에 중력가속도의 증가에 따라 AGS에 최적의 공기압을 제공할 수 있는 제어알고리즘을 개발하고 검증하였다. 이러한 결과는 추후에 체계개발이 진행될 한국형전투기개발사업(Korean Fighter eXperimental, KF-X)에서 핵심기술을 개발하는데 기여하리라 기대한다.

자유 낙하하는 물체가 받는 힘은 중력뿐이다. 우리는 중력만을 받아서 운동하는 것을 자유 낙하 운동이라고 하고 자유 낙하하는 물체를 자유낙체라 한다. 즉, 자유낙체란 물체의 초기 운동 상태와 무관하게 중력의 영향으로만 자유롭게 낙하하는 물체를 말하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 공기의 저항을 무시하고, 수직방향으로 짧은 거리의 범위내에서 고도에 의한 자유낙하 가속도의 변화가 없다는 가정을 한다. 이러한 가정 하에서 자동차가 수직 상 방향으로 도약하여 최고점에 도달하는 시간, 최대높이, 자동차가 출발 위치로 돌아오는 시간과 자동차의 속도, 자동차가 땅에 떨어질 때의 시간 및 속도에 대해 알 수 있다. 이는 텔레매틱스에서 자동차나 오토바이가 도약하는 정도와 사고의 위험을 측정할 수 있다.

물체의 운동을 측정하기 위하여 관성 센서(inertial sensor)에 대한 배경 지식이 없는 사용자가 가속도계(accelerometer)를 사용하고자 할 경우 센서의 이름이 주는 혼동에 의하여 물체의 운동 가속도(acceleration)를 쉽게 얻어낼 수 있으리라 기대하게 된다. 반면, 가속도계가 실제 측정하여 주는 값은 비력 가속도(acceleration due to specific force)에 해당되므로 적절한 처리를 부가하지 않으면 기대한 바와 같이 물체의 운동 가속도를 얻을 수 없다. 가속도계의 측정값으로부터 운동 가속도를 추출하기 위해서는 중력장 가속도 (gravitational acceleration), 중력 가속도 (acceleration due to gravity), 비력 가속도, 그리고 운동 가속도 사이의 관계를 명확하게 구분 이해할 필요가 있다. 본 고에서는 앞선 고들에서 다룬(막대) 벡터, 좌표값, 좌표계, 좌표변환행렬, 그리고 코리올리 효과 등의 개념을 확장하여 다양한 개념의 가속도들을 구분 설명하였다.

Dams play a vital role in the development and sustainment in a country. Failure of dams leads to the catastrophic event with sudden release of water and is of great concern. Hence earthquake-resistant design of dams is of prime importance. The present study involves static, modal and transient analyses of dam-reservoir-foundation system using finite element software ANSYS 15. The dam and the foundation are modeled with 2D plane strain element "PLANE 42" and the reservoir by fluid acoustic element "FLUID 29" with proper consideration of fluid-structure interaction. An expression for the fundamental period of concrete dams is developed based on modal analysis. Seismic response of gravity dams subjected to earthquake acceleration is evaluated in terms of peak displacement and stress.

Two problems in the measurement of 6-DOF head vibration in very low frequency range were investigated in this study. One is how much error was involved in the estimation of three rotational and three translational motion at any specified point from measured 6 translational accelerations. The other is quantitative and qualitative influence of gravity on DC and AC component of the estimated accelerations in 6 degree of freedom, which were derived from pick-ups fixed on a helmet. In the study the effect of nonlinear terms on the estimation of 6 degree of freedom accelerations was negligible but gravity effect must be considered carefully.

This study deals with 2D and 3D nonlinear seismic damage analysis of a concrete gravity dam using the finite element program ABAQUS and the concrete damaged plasticity model. 2D and 3D spillway sections of the dam are simulated. First the frequency analysis is conducted to compare the fundamental frequency and estimate the value of damping coefficient. Then the seismic analysis is conducted using the simulated ground acceleration motion. The relative displacement between the crest and bottom of the dam is obtained and compared for the maximum value and occurrence time. The results indicate that the plane-stress assumption gives similar results of maximum relative displacement and final damage distribution with 3D analysis.
