This study uses 3D printing technology to design and fabricate a fall impact protection pad with a spacer fabric structure. The design of the pads consists of hexagonal three-dimensional units connected in a honey-comb shape; in addition, the unit consists of a surface layer and a spacer layer. Protect pads were designed as either a hexagonal type or diamond type according to the surface layer structure; subsequently, a spacer filament was also designed as the most basic I-shape type. Designed pads were printed using four types of flexible filaments to select suitable material for a fall impact protection pad. Impact protection performance and bending stiffness were evaluated for the eight type of pad outputs. As a result of the impact protection performance evaluation, when the force of 6,500N was applied, the force passed through the pad was in the range of 1,370-2,132N. FlexSolid$^{(R)}$ and Skinflex$^{TM}$ showed good protection performance and cubicon flexible filament showed the lowest protection. NinjaFlex$^{(R)}$ was found to be the most flexible in the bending stiffness evaluation.

The purpose of this study was to develop protective clothing that could alleviate fall impacts. Fall impact protection pants for elderly women were designed, and motion adaptable hip pads and knee pads printed by 3D printing were integrated into the pants and evaluated. First, the design of the fall impact protection pants with variable motion was semi-loose fitting pants that could be worn and detached from the protective pad. A pad pocket was made in the lining inside the pants so that the protective pad could be fixed to the protective area. Second, in the evaluation of the appearance of the fall impact protection pants, the wearer group had a good score of 4.60 or higher for all questions on color, material, ease, and fit. In the evaluation of the insertion method of the protective pad, the flexibility of the pad, and the weight of the pad, the subjects' scores were 4.30~4.80. The fit of the fall impact protection pants was excellent in the texture and elasticity of the outside and inside of the pants. There was no discomfort due to the pad(4.60), and no difficulty in movement during wearing activities was reported. During squatting, it was evaluated as 4.80, indicating that the motion adaptable hip joint and knee pads were highly effective during operation.

기존에 사용되던 사각형 낙석방지망은 낙석에 의한 충격 완화를 위한 장치가 없어 적층 현상 등을 해결할 수 없으며 과도한 충격으로 철망이 파괴되는 문제 등이 지적되고 있었다. 여러 문제점이 복합적으로 발생하면서 매년 낙석 방지망 자체의 파괴에 의해 많은 피해가 발생하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존의 표준형 낙석방지망의 낙석방호 실패 원인을 고찰하고 설계 시 예상 낙석에너지를 파악하여 적정한 흡수에너지를 가진 육각 낙석방지망을 개발하였다. 또한 실내실험과 실대형실험을 통해 기존 낙석 방지망과의 성능차를 파악하여 육각 낙석방지망의 적용 가능성을 파악하고자 하였다. 실내실험과 실대형실험결과 낙석과 같은 하중 재하 시 육각 낙석방지망에 작용하는 응력은 스프링형 지지 장치에 의해 응력이 완화되어 충격에 의한 소성파괴에 대한 저항성이 우수한 반면 사각 낙석방지망의 경우 작용하는 응력이 직접적으로 낙석방지망에 작용함으로써 하중에 대한 저항력이 육각 낙석방지망보다 효율이 적은 것으로 판단된다.

국내에서 현재까지 개발되어 적용된 낙석감지 시스템은 주로 낙석방지망에 와이어나 광섬유, 또는 경사계를 설치하여 와이어의 장력을 측정하거나 낙석 발생에 의해 와이어 단락이나 낙석방지망의 변형 또는 기울어지는 것을 감지하여 낙석을 확인하는 시스템들이다. 이러한 방법들은 낙석방지망이 먼저 설치되어 있어야 하며 낙석이 발생하면 일반적으로 관련 센서와 와이어 등에 대하여 재정비를 해야 다시 원래의 기능을 수행할 수 있게 된다. 이러한 단점을 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 장력이나 변위 측정방식이 아니라 광센서와 카메라가 설치된 구역에서 낙석 통과 여부를 비접촉 방식으로 실시간 감지가 가능하도록 하는 방법을 제시하고 이를 구현하였다. 개발된 시스템을 실내실험 및 현장 적용을 한 결과 낙석 관련 정보를 효과적으로 수집하고 분석할 수 있었다. 또한 낙석 감지 전후 획득한 2장의 사진에 대하여 lighten 또는 difference 연산을 적용할 경우 낙석의 크기와 이동 방향에 대한 개략적 평가가 가능하였다.

In this study, we developed honeycomb pads using foam and polymer gel and verified the impact protection performance of pads for the development of a fall protection pants for elderly women aged 65 and over who have a high risk of fracture due to falls. The results are as follows; In the first experiment, the impact protection performance was evaluated for four honeycomb pad samples (CR foam, EPDM foam, hardness 15 polymer gel, and hardness 30 polymer gel) manufactured to a thickness of 5 mm using a single material. When the force of about 10757N was applied to the specimens, all four pads reduced the impact force to 3100N or less. Polymer gels showed better protection than foam materials. In the second experiment, the thickness of the protective pad was set to 8 mm in order to improve the shock absorbing performance of the protective pad. As a result of evaluating the impact protection performance of the foam single pad and foam gel composite pad, the impact absorbing performance of the foam single pad was better. Finally, four kinds of protection pads were made by assigning the foam single pad and the foam gel composite pad to pants type and underwear type respectively. The pad thickness of the main protection area was set to 8 mm to enhance the protection, and gradually decreased to 5mm and 3mm toward the edge to improve the appearance and fit.

In Japan, protective measures to reduce falls from scaffolds have been strictly applied within industry safety guidelines, and such measures have significantly decreased fatal accidents due to falls from scaffolds. However, the rate of fatal accidents from falls is still high in the construction industries. In order to examine further countermeasures to reduce such falls, the Japan Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare established a committee in our institute. That committee$\acute{i}$s work experimentally confirmed the effectiveness of using plastic sheets as a covering around scaffolds to protect against falls of construction materials (a method widely used in Japan). However, the workers fell from the space between the work platform and the plastic sheets very occasionally. Based on those results, the plastic sheets were improved for fall protection from the space, and the effect of the improved sheets was confirmed experimentally.

Construction fall accidents have been investigated by many researchers. Construction workers are prone to fall when elevations of the construction site is high. And falls are the most fatal accidents: it can be directly linked to the death. Construction fall accidents might be reduced by predetermining several areas which are highly probable to have fall accidents and by controlling such areas until the completion of the building construction. In this paper, a fall prevention system is suggested which can identify the areas where the focus on fall protection is perhaps most needed from the process characteristics. Main methodologies for this research are summarized as follows: 1. A data base on elements and types of falls is constructed from the data analysis of last 10 years fall accidents history. 2. Guideline is derived by identifying the highly probable areas of fall accidents with respect to the specific construction process. 3. Developed system is verified by applying the system to construction sites. 4. Finally a fall prevention system is suggested by utilizing the fall accidents data.

본 논문에서는 병실의 침대 위에서 움직임으로 침대 밖으로 떨어지는 것을 방지하기 위한 환자감시 시스템인 낙상 방지 시스템을 제안한다. 환자는 휴식을 취하거나 각종 처치를 위하여 침대에 머무르게 된다. 이 과정에서 대부분의 환자들은 기력이 낮아지고 자기 신체에 대한 제어 능력이 낮아져 침대의 바깥쪽으로 움직이는 경우가 종종 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 초음파를 이용한 환자까지의 거리 맵을 생성한 다음 거리 맵을 기반으로 환자의 위치를 추정하였다. 경과 측정거리는 10mm 이내로 측정이 가능하였고, 기존의 방식과 비교하여 내구성과 활용성이 우수하였다.

This paper is about a fall inducement system for guiding like a real fall. Reliable fall data can be used as an essential element in developing effective fall protection devices. We can get this data if the induced fall is very realistic. The proposed system analyzes gait characteristics and determines when to fall based on the pedestrian's biometric data. To estimate the fall inducement time, an active estimation algorithm was proposed using different biometric values for each pedestrian. The proposed algorithm is designed to response actively to the ratio of gait cycle and a stance period. To verify this system, an experimental environment was implemented using a multi-rail treadmill equipped with a ground reaction force measurement device. An experiment was conducted to induce falls to pedestrians using a fall inducement system. By comparing the experimental scene to the video of the actual fall, it has been confirmed that the proposed system can induce a reliable fall.
