Objective: The present study is intended to objectively classify upper- & lower-body sitting strategies and identify the effects of gender and OPL type on the sitting strategies. Background: A sitting strategy which statistically represents comfortable driving posture can be used as a reference posture of a humanoid in virtual design and evaluation of a driver's seat. Although previous research has classified sitting strategies for driving postures in various occupant package layout (OPL) types, the existing classification methods are not objective and the factors affecting sitting strategies have not been identified. Method: Forty drivers' preferred driving postures in three different OPL types (coupe, sedan, and SUV) were measured by a motion capture system. Next, the measured driving postures were classified by K-means cluster method. Results: Sitting strategies of upper-body were classified as erect (33%), slouched (41%), and reclined (26%) postures, and those of lower-body were classified as knee bent (42%), knee extended (32%), and upper-leg lifted (26%) postures. Significant differences at ${\alpha}$ = 0.05 in the upper-body sitting strategy by gender and lower-body sitting strategy by OPL type were found. Application: Both the classified sitting strategies and the identified factors would be of use in ergonomic seat design and evaluation.

Finite element analyses are carried out to provide results usable in the design of airbag module that consists of inflater, cushion, cover, mounting plate, etc. In the first phase, a deployment process of airbag module is analyzed to evaluate the pressure waveform of developed airbag and deployment characteristics, and is compared with the test results. Interaction between head form and inflated airbag module is investigated in the second phase. In the last stage, sled test with rigid dummy, airbag midule, driving system and car interior part are simulated to investigate the influence of airbag design factor on the behavior of dummy with seat belt. The procedures can be provided as a guideline for airbag module design and improvement of airbag module performance.

Feasibility of the small capacity fuel cell powered vehicle is carried out for system design with loading characteristics. The major design concepts which include battery, driving motor, and fuel cell module are analyzed and discussed for the future development. A load characteristics program is developed in order to calculate the traction power of fuel cell vehicle according to the driving courses specified. Further, the small capacity fuel cell vehicle is analyzed to determine the capacity of stack as a function of the velocity for an appropriate power required.

This paper presents an inverter-driven induction motor used as the traction motor for a high speed drive system that is required safety, reliability and performance and so on, In the respect of traction motor design, it is mainly showed the weight reduction inclination and characteristic investigation due to V/f driving pattern variation of inverter. Particularly, the reduction of V/f ratio pattern effects on the weight of traction motor and badly on the increase of phase current of traction motor in starting point. This method of weight reduction design have to be reached the decision with not only motor but also the consideration of inverter system because of the heat capacity, weight and material cost of inverter according to the increase of current.

진동타입기에 의한 진동시스템에 대하여 서스펜션이 없는 경우와 서스펜션이 있는 경우에 대한 해석해를 나타내고 서스펜션이 진동시스템에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 해석결과에 따르면 서스펜션이 있는 진동타입기의 진폭은 서스펜션이 없는 경우에 비해 서스펜션의 질량이 증가할수록 지반의 댐핑값이 감소할수록 증가하였다. 서스펜션이 있는 진동 타입기에 대해 해석을 통해 유도된 일률을 설계기준에 의한 일률과 비교해본 결과 일률은 지반의 댐핑값에 따라 최대값까지 증가했다가 감소함을 알 수 있었고 최대 일률값은 서스펜션의 질량이 커짐에 따라 증가함을 알 수 있었는데 일률은 설계기준에 의한 일률보다는 항상 작게 나타났다.

In this study, the performance of a low-floor midsize bus under development is predicted through simulations. To predict the vehicle's acceleration, maximum speed, and uphill driving performance, a forward simulator which calculates the vehicle power is developed. Also we verify the forward simulator by comparing simulations and test result for benchmarking vehicle. To predict the fuel consumption, we use a backward simulator for a specified road cycle. However, to predict the fuel consumption using the backward simulation the engine fuel-consumption map is needed. The engine fuel-consumption map extracting data from a similar sized diesel engine is used by re-scaling the maximum torque. As a result, we simulate the vehicle's forward performance with a new engine. Further, we simulated the backward performance to optimize the fuel efficiency and gearshift timing.

It is important to consider power stability in case of design and construction of a substation at railroad because a train is operated by electricity and tains are drived simultaneous at the same section. This paper described stability of feeder system considering driving conditions and railroad conditions of train which is drived. Simulation tool, TOM(Train Operations Model) software is used to ensure stability of feeder system. As results of simulation, feeder voltage source is in limits on driving operation dia of trains.

This paper presents a design method using CAE(Computer Aided Engineering ) with the consideration of reliability for optimal gear driving system. This method considered a configuration of the intermediate shaft. There are four mounting types, such as double straddle, double overhung, output gear overhung, and input ger overhung in the intermediate shaft. The reliability and life analysis are based on the two-parameter Weigbull distribution lives of the gears and bearing . The validity and feasibility of the proposed method are verified by the application to transmission of a industry machine.

This paper presents a linear positioning system and its control algorithm design with nano accuracy/resolution. The basic linear stage structure is driven by an ultrasonic motor and its displacement feedback is detected by a LDGI (Laser Diffraction Grating Interferometer), which can achieve nanometer resolution. Due to the friction driving property of the ultrasonic motor, the driving situation differs in various ranges along the travel. Experiments have been carried out in order to observe and realize the phenomena of the three main driving modes: AC mode (for mm motion), Gate mode (for ${\mu}m$ motion), and DC mode (for nm motion). A proposed FCMAC (Fuzzy Cerebella Model Articulation Controller) control algorithm is implemented for manipulating and predicting the velocity variation during the motion of each mode respectively. The PCbased integral positioning system is built up with a NI DAQ Device by a BCB (Borland $C^{++}$ Builder) program to accomplish the purpose of an intelligent nanopositioning control.
