Nano-Particles are influenced on the environmental protection and human health. The relationships between transient vehicle operation and nano-particle emissions are not well-known, especially for diesel passenger vehicles with DPF. In this study, a diesel passenger vehicle was measured on condition of DPF regeneration and no regeneration on a chassis dynamometer test bench. The particulate matter (PM) emission from this vehicle was measured by its number, size and mass measurement. The mass of the total PM was evaluated with the standard gravimetric measurement method while the total number and size concentrations were measured on a NEDC driving cycle using Condensation Particle Counter (CPC) and EEPS. Total number concentration by CPC was $1.5{\times}10^{1l}N/km$, which was 20% of result by EEPS. This means about 80% of total particle emission is consist of volatile and small-sized particles(<22nm). During regeneration, particle emission was $6.2{\times}10^{12}N/km$, was emitted 400 times compared with the emission before regeneration. As for the particle size of $22{\sim}100nm$ was emitted mainly, showing peak value of near 40nm in size. This means regeneration decreased the mean size of particles. Regarding regeneration, PM showed no change while the particle number showed about 6 times difference between before and after regeneration. It seems that the regeneration influences on particle number emissions are related to DPF-fill state and filtration efficiency.

A typical cooling system of an engine relies on a water pump that circulates the coolant through the system. The pump is typically driven by the crankshaft through a mechanical link with engine starting. In order to reduce the friction and warm-up time of an engine, the clutch-type water pump (CWP) was applied in 2.0 liter diesel vehicle. The clutch-type water pump can force cooling water to supply into an engine by the operation of an electromagnetic clutch equipped as the inner part of pump system. The onset of CWP is decided by temperature of cooling water and engine oil. And, the control logic for an optimal operation of the clutch-type water pump was developed and applied in engine and vehicle tests. In this study, the warm-up time was measured with the conventional water pump and clutch-type water pump in engine tests. And the emission and the fuel consumption were evaluated under NEDC mode in vehicle tests. Also, tests were carried out for the various temperature conditions starting the operation of CWP. From the results of the study, the application of CWP can improve the fuel consumption and $CO_2$ reduction by about 3%.

LED 광원은 기존 광원에 비해 수명이 길고 에너지 효율이 좋은 것으로 알려져 있다. 최근 철도차량의 고속화에 따른 전방시야 확보와 안전적인 운행을 고려하여 LED광원을 이용한 전조등이 증가하고 있다. 그러나 LED광원의 수명시험 데이터를 근거로 한 제품 수명 평가체계는 구동전류, 온도 및 진동 등 수명-스트레스 인자에 따라 다양한 수명특성을 보인다. LED제품은 주로 온도에 의해 예측된 수명에 미치지 못하는 경우가 일반적이므로 온도제어부의 성능평가는 수명시험 이전에 수행되어야 한다. 본 연구는 철도차량용 LED전조등의 수명시험 장치의 온도제어부 시작품을 제작하고 성능시험 결과를 바탕으로 타당성을 검증한다.

본 연구는 유가충격 및 에너지절감유도정책충격의 효과를 고려할 수 있는 베이지안 동태확률일반균형모형의 구축을 통해 이들 외생적 충격들의 역할과 함께 현재 우리나라에서 진행 중인 고효율 에너지 소비구조로의 전환이 유발시키는 경제적 효과에 관해 분석하였다. 분석 결과에 의하면 유가상승충격은 소비, 고용, 투자 및 산출량에 부정적 효과를 주었으며, 자본 1단위당 에너지 소비량 절감을 유발시키는 에너지절감유인정책충격은 에너지 소비량의 절감과 함께 소비, 고용, 투자 및 산출량에 긍정적 효과를 주는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 분산분해 결과는 유가충격이 설비가동률, 에너지 소비량 및 산출량의 단기적 총 변동에 가장 큰 영향을 미치며, 에너지절약정책충격 역시 기술충격과 유가충격에 비해 그 크기와 지속성 면에서 미미한 수준이나, 이들 변수들의 단기적 총 변동을 일정부분 설명할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 석유소비의 비중 축소 및 에너지 소비의 효율성 증대는 유가충격이 주는 부정적 효과를 약화시켜, 이와 같은 에너지 소비구조의 전환이 유가변동의 충격을 축소시키고 있다는 최근의 논의들과 부합됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, we developed an active ankle-foot orthosis(AAFO) which can control dorsi/ plantar flexion of the ankle joint to prevent foot drop and toe drag during walking. 3D gait analyses were performed on five healthy subjects under three different gait conditions: the normal gait without AFO, the SAFO gait with the conventional plastic AFO, and the AAFO gait with the developed AFO. As a result, the developed AAFO preeminently induced the normal gait compared to the SAFO. Additionally, AAFO prevented foot drop by proper plantarflexion during loading response and provided enough plantarflexion moment as a driving force to walk forward by sufficient push-off during pre-swing. AAFO also could prevent toe drag by proper dorsiflexion during swing phase. These results indicate that the developed AAFO may have more clinical benefits to treat foot drop and toe drag, compared to conventional AFOs, and also may be useful in patients with other orthotic devices.

굴삭기를 전진과 후진시키는 주행모터에는 주차브레이크(parking brake)가 내장되어있다. 이 주차브레이크는 굴삭기가 주차되었을 때 고정뿐만 아니라 전진 및 후진을 하지 않는 상태로 굴삭작업 할 때에도 차체를 지면에 고정시킨다. 정확한 굴삭작업을 위해서는 작업충격이나 자중을 포함한 굴삭부하가 발생했을 때 차체를 지면에 견고하게 고정해주는 브레이크 기능이 굴삭기가 주차되었을 때의 고정보다 더 중요하고 작용횟수 또한 훨씬 높다. 본 연구에서는 다중 마찰 판(multi friction disc)을 스프링 힘으로 작동(결합)시키고 유압실린더로 해제시키는 굴삭기 주행모터의 주차브레이크에 대해서 작용 압력별로 반복실험을 실시하여 측정된 데이터를 설계 이론값과 비교하여 주차브레이크의 특성을 분석하였다.

Together with the trend of enhancement in domestic industrial development and economic progress due to import and export, the demand for construction of the roads, bridges, especially port facilities, and several coastal protection and ocean structures is increasing rapidly. MOMAF of Korean Government is driving construction of 9 new ports and renovation of the existing fishery ports. Among these structures most of bridge base, wharves, dolphins, quays, and jetties are being newly built of steel or concrete pile. As the base, supporting bulkheads, and piles are underwater after construction, it is difficult to figure out the status of structures and not enough to get maintenance and strengthen the structures. Every year, moreover, these works suck the government budget due to higher incomplete maintenance expense for protection from corrosions of structures and increased underwater construction period. for the purpose of cutting down the government budget, it is necessary to extend the life cycle of the existing structures. We developed a new method for maintenance of submerged structures near the waterline by allowing dry work environment with the floating caisson. The method shows easy to move around the working area and handle. It also showed not only a significant reduction of maintenance expenses and time for anti-corrosion work but also better protection. This will be a milestone to reduce the maintenance and construction expenses for the shore and water structures.

Many automobile assembly workers often do several cycles of tasks continuously, i.e., without breaks, to get a longer break. This is not recommended since the dose of fatigue increases exponetially with time and it takes much longer time to recover. In this study, a laboratory experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of work/rest schedules on workload of a repetitive upper-limb task. Eleven male subjects participated in the experiment, in which simulated screw driving tasks were carried out repetitively with 3 different work/rest schedules: standard breaks(1 cycle of work at a time, 60 20-s breaks), medium breaks(5 cycles of work at a time, 12 100-s breaks), and long breaks(10 cycles of work at a time, 6 200-s breaks). The result showed that medium- and long-breaks schedules significantly increased the level of perceived discomfort and %HRR as compared to the standard-break schedule. The subjects' preference was not statistically different among work/rest schedules, which might be caused from the absolutely low level of workload of the experimental tasks. From the results, it is recommended to have frequent and shorter breaks rather than infrequent and longer breaks to decrease the level of physical workload. A more expanded studies, however, should be carried out to provide more practical safety guidelines on the work practice of continuous working without breaks among automobile assembly workers.

As the interest on the air pollution is gradually risen up at home and abroad, their vehicle emission regulations have been reinforcing by steps. PM regulation was also reinforced 4times for the last 13years and has been applied to SI vehicles after EURO 5. Additionally, knowing that small particles of PM can easily penetrate deep into lungs PM number was added on the regulation from EURO5+ and is applied to CI vehicles. Also, PN regulation is going to be applied to SI vehicles. But, because the regulation is appled to only a general test mode of each countries that is performed at $25{\pm}5^{\circ}C$, it is unclear whether the regulation can work on the other ambient temperature conditions or not. In this paper, to know that exhaust emission characteristics at the special conditions CI vehicles(CRDi w, w/o DPF) were tested using 5-cycle mode, NEDC mode at 5-ambient temperatures (35, 25, 0, -7 and -15) and the exhaust emission test results were discussed. The results show that the vehicle with DPF emits much low PM(and PM number) on all of the test mode. However, NOx of the other mode was emitted higher than regulation mode. Also. NOx was sharply increased according to decreasing Ambient Temperature.

When the outdoor air temperature decreased less than the freezing temperature, frost forms at the surface of heat exchangers and it makes the performance degradation of a heat pump system. In this study, a heat pump system has been developed which has a refrigerant heating device as an auxiliarly heating equipment. To reduce power consumptions of the system, a liquid pump, rather than a compressor, was used to drive refrigerant in the heat pump cycle. Ratio of refrigerant mass flow between a refrigerant heating heat exchanger(GHX) and a outdoor plate heat exchanger(PHX) was varied and the system performance was measured and analyzed. As results, when the refrigerant flow rate to the GHX was decreased, the system performance is decreased due to heat absorption capability restriction of the GHX and small variation of the power consumption in the compressor. The effect on the evaporating and condensing pressure by the distribution ratio of the refrigerant to the each heat exchanger is small compare to the effect by the frequency change in the compressor. When the compressor was replaced by the liquid pump, the capacity of the system decreased a little, however the power consumption decrease approximately 80% compare with the power used in the compressor.
