The road sign in dynamic traffic system is an important element which affects on human cognitive performance on driving. Web-based vision system simulator was developed to examine the cognition time of the road sign in dynamic environment. This experiment the cognition time of the road sign in dynamic environment. This experiment was designed in with-subject design with two factors: vehicle speed and the amount of information of the traffic sign. It measured the cognition time of the road sign through two evaluation methods: the subjective test with vision system simulator and computational cognitive model. In these two evaluations of human cognitive performance under the dynamic traffic environment, it demonstrated that subject's cognition time was affected by both the amount of information of traffic sign and driving speed.

Optimal shape of the NFR suspension is studied and developed to improve the dynamic performance and reduce the vibration of the suspension system including a optical head slider. Since accurate position control and stability of the slider motion are highly required in NFR due to the narrower track width and the heavier slider than HDD slider with the low flying height, the dynamic characteristics of the suspension are very important to the mechanical performance of the system. The first natural frequencies in flexural and lateral motion of the suspension are critical factors affecting the dynamics and stability of the flying head, so that the dynamic parameters should be designed properly to avoid an excessive vibration or a crash of the slider on the disk. This paper optimizes the shape of the suspension based on homogenization method in NASTRAN and develops a new suspension shape for NFR system. The suspension is tested on experiment to verify the improvement of the dynamic characteristics.

Taguchi's robust design is a method for quality improvement by making a system insensitive to uncontrollable variations incurred by noise factors and it has received much attention in a wide range of engineering fields. Robust design can be broadly classified into static and dynamic ones. This paper is concerned with dynamic robust design. Taguchi suggested to use a signal-to-noise ratio as a robustness measure, but there has been much debate and criticism on its blind use. In order to cope with this drawback, many alternatives have been proposed. They are divided into performance measure modeling (PMM) and response function modeling (RFM) approaches. In this paper, both PMM and RFM approaches for dynamic robust design are reviewed. An example for illustration is provided as well.

The problem of a semi-infinite magneto-electro-elastically impermeable mode-III crack in a magneto-electro-elastic material is considered under the action of impact loads. For the case when a pair of concentrated anti-plane shear impacts, electric displacement and magnetic induction impacts are exerted symmetrically on the upper and lower surfaces of the crack, the magneto-electro-elastic field ahead of the crack tip is determined in explicit form. The dynamic intensity factors and dynamic energy density factor are obtained. The method adopted is to reduce the mixed initial-boundary value problem, by using the Laplace and Fourier transforms, into three simultaneous dual integral equations, one of which is converted into an Abel's integral equation and the others into a singular integral equation with Cauchy kernel. Based on the obtained fundamental solutions of point impact loads, the solutions of two kinds of different loading cases are evaluated by integration. For some particular cases, the present results reduce to the previous results.

In this paper, post-earthquake capacity evaluation method of reinforced concrete buildings was studied. Substructure pseudo-dynamic test and static loading test of first story column in a four-story R/C building was carried out in order to investigate the validity of the evaluation method proposed in the Damage Assessment Guideline (JBDPA 2001). In pseudo-dynamic test, different levels of damage were induced in the specimens by pre-loading, and input levels of seismic motion, at which the specimens reached to the ultimate stage, were examined. From the experimental result, no significant difference in damage levels such as residual crack width between the specimens under static and pseudo-dynamic loading was found. It is shown that the seismic capacity reduction factors ${\eta}$ can provide a reasonable estimation of post-earthquake seismic capacity of R/C buildings suffered earthquakes.

Direct cutting tests was carried out to evaluate the dynamic performance of lathes under various cutting conditions. Significant factors influencing the chatter limits were identified through use of analysis of variance. Dynamic performances of two lathes were compared and the merits and drawbacks of the direct cutting test were discussed. Exciting-direct-cutting test method was newly proposed as a more rational method of dynamic performance test. The basic theory and experiments of the test were explained. The results shows that the method can be used as a powerful tool for the evaluation and the improvement of dynamic performance of machine tools.

In order to reduce the possibilities of personnel injuries and damages to machines and to obtaim higher efficiency and machining accuracy in the manufacturing system, the chucking technology has recentry become important. The chucking technology of work greatly affects both the grometrical accuracy and fonctional performance of the workpiece. In this study, the dynamic gripping force of a 3-jaw power chuck is investigated on the factors of the shape of jaw and the shape of workpiece. From this investigation, the following observations are obtained. 1) The higher stiffness of workpiece is, the higher decrease of dynamic gripping force is. 2) The nearer to the root of jaw is, the higher decrease of dynamic gripping force is. 3) The centrifugal force of affectting the decrease of dynamic gripping force has to be considered in the centrifugal force of affecting jaw.

This paper addresses determining the location of the distribution centers in a discrete dynamic distribution system. In discrete and finite time horizon, the demands of retailers are dynamic for the periods. Some locations among the retailers can be chosen for the role of the distribution centers at the beginning of each period. The distribution centers have to be located at the location of minimizing logistics cost. Logistics cost factors are the operation cost and the fixed cost of distribution center, and the transportation cost. The distribution centers of minimizing sum of operation cost, fixed cost and transportation cost are determined among retailers in each period for the planning period. A mathematical model was formulated and a dynamic programming based algorithm was developed. A numerical example was shown to explain our problem.

In this study a computer program considering initial imperfection of wall of axisymmetric reinforced concrete shell which show plastic deformation by large external loading is developed. initial imperfection of wall of axisymmetric reinforced concrete shell is assumed as sinusoidal curve expressed as {{{{ {W }_{i } }}}}={{{{ {W}_{0 } }}}}sin (n$\pi$y/$\ell$)y. The developed program is applied to the analysis of the dynamic response of axisymmetric reinforced concrete shell when the wall has initial imperfection. The initial imperfection of 0.0 -5.0, and 5cm and steel ratio 0.3, and 5% are tested for numerical examples. The effects of the wall initial imperfection and steel ratio on the dynamic response of the axisymmetric reinforced concrete shell are analysed, It is shown that the direction of the initial imperfection is very important factors for determining the dynamic response.

In recent years, implants have gained growing importance in all areas of medicine. The success of the treatment depends on many factors affecting the bone-implant, implant-abutment and abutment-prosthesis interfaces. In this paper, static and dynamic behaviors of the dental prosthesis are investigated. Three-dimensional finite element models of dental prosthesis were constructed. Dynamic loads in 5 sec applied on occlusal surface. Therefore, FEA was selected for use in this study to examine the effect of the static and dynamic loads on the stress distribution for an implant-supported fixed partial denture and supporting bone tissue.
