This paper proposed a technique of structural re-analysis for the evaluation of dynamic responses of bridge structure under moving loads using experimental modal results. For successful structural re-analysis, it is required to have accurate estimation techniques of the modal characteristics of bridge structures. The natural frequencies and mode shapes were identified by direct fourier analysis techniques and damping ratios by the random decrement method, respectively. An interpolation method was also proposed for the extension of mode shape measured on limited DOFs. Second, the structural reanalysis was performed using moving mass model and identified modal parameters. The results from the reanalysis show that the proposed technique is very reasonable to evaluate the actual behavior of bridge structures under moving loads.

Reliability Prediction using MIL-HDBK-217F has some restrictions due to its one modeling basis. One of the restrictions is caused by selecting one operating environment of a system, which is chosen regardless of its detailed conditions, e.g., external impact and vibration. Especially, an equipment, which is installed on a mobile vehicle though its movement is quasi-static, is controversial to designate its environment as ground mobile($G_M$), rather than ground fixed($G_F$). In this paper, failure rates were compared, which are computed using several moving time rates to total operating time. RiAC-HDBK-217Plus was used as the basic calculation model. In addition, $G_F$ conditioned failure rate was evaluated by comparing with that under $G_M$ environment but fixed state.

Flexible production system has been expanded to all sectors of economy with the change of labor market and diversification of employment. The unstable employment with irregular work has replaced stable employment with regular work. This study has investigate the impact pathway of the type of employment on health status especially ill-health symptoms experiences. Among the first Korean Working Conditions Survey data, the employee's response data was used to analyze the path way with multiple regression analysis. The result has shown the direct effect of the type of employment on ill-health symptoms experience. Indirect effect of the type of employment was found the pathway via the exposure to noise, high temperature, low temperature, dust, skin contact to chemicals, painful posture, heavy material handling, standing position, repetitive movement of hands. However the exposure to the other hazardous factors such as organic solvent, wholebody vibration, radiation, lifting people, infectious materials were not influenced by the type of employment.

A spiral lattice girder-reinforced Bi-block sleeper which has enhanced durability against increasingly growing impact force and vibration by wheel load and improved structural performance while train runs at 350km/h high speed is hereby proposed. The section of a spiral lattice girder has stable and superior structural performance thanks to its confinement effect. To compare and analyze the structural performance of spiral lattice girder-reinforced bi-block sleeper, strain and stress distribution were evaluated after applying same load condition as existing triangular lattice girder-reinforced biblock sleeper, and to compare the structural performance of triangular lattice girder and spiral lattice girder, structural analysis of lattice girder was performed separately. As a result, a spiral lattice girder proved to have had superior structural characteristics to bi-block sleeper, and furthermore as a result of evaluating the fastener interface and constructibility with shape-improved lattice girder, no interference with existing railroad structure was found and in terms of cost efficiency, a spiral lattice girder appeared to be superior to existing lattice girder.

A tooth profile modification for loaded gears is used to avoid a tooth impact. Since a tooth profile error causes amplification of the cumbersome whine noise in automotive gear transmissions, an optimal quantity of tooth profile modifications must be obtained for good performance in the vibration sense. In this paper, a tooth profile modification curve considering profile manufacturing errors and elastic deformation of the gear tooth is formulated; in addition, transmission errors of the gear system with modified teeth are verified. The equivalent excitation due to transmission errors is formulated. For experimental evaluation of the transmission error, the transmission error for a simple gear system was measured by two rotational laser vibrometers. Finally, we perform a comparative analysis between the calculated and measured responses to the excitations due to the transmission error to verify the practicability of the application to automotive transmissions.

Cogging torque has a negative impact on the operation of permanent magnet machines by increasing torque ripple, speed ripple, acoustic noise and vibration. In this paper Magnet Shifting Method has been used as a tool to reduce the cogging torque in inset Line Start Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (LSPMSM). It has been shown that Magnet Shifting Method can effectively eliminate several lower-order harmonics of cogging torque. In order to implement the method, first the expression of cogging torque is studied based on the Fourier analysis. An analytical expression is then introduced based on Permanent Magnet Shifting to reduce cogging torque of LSPMS motors. The method is applied to some existing machine designs and their performances are obtained using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The effect of magnet shifting on pole mmf (magneto motive force) distribution in air gap is discussed. The side effects of magnet shifting on back-EMF, core losses and torque profile distortion are taken into account in this investigation. Finally the experimental results on two prototypes 24 slot 4 pole inset LSPMS motors have been used to validate the theoretical analysis.

Acoustical properties of chestnut and paulownia woods have been determined in four film thicknesses of oriental lacquering and cashew varnishing on double surfaces of soundboard to elucidate effects of finishing. Accelerometer was attached to the specimen at one third position from one end, and specimen was hit by the impact hammer at one third position from opposite end. Data were processed by vibration analyzer. The ratio of axial-to-transverse sound velocity of untreated specimens of chestnut and paulownia were 3.25 and 5.34, respectively. Natural frequency, specific Young's modulus, acoustical coefficient, sound velocity, damping of sound radiation(DSR) and acoustical converting efficiency(ACE) decreased by oriental lacquering and cashew varnishing for both species. Damping of internal friction of chestnut decreased by oriental lacquering and cashew varnishing, but that of paulownia increased. Natural frequency. specific Young's modulus, acoustical coefficient, sound velocity, and DSR decreased with increased film thickness of both finishing materials. However, damping of internal friction and ACE showed irregular tendency with increased film thickness. Acoustical properties of cashew varnished chestnut specimen were better than those of oriental lacquered specimen. Acoustical properties of oriental lacquered paulownia specimen were better than those of cashew varnished specimen.

Reinforced concrete structures using early age concrete were result in the degradation of structural performance due to crack, overload, unexpected vibration and impact load. It demands urgently that reinforced concrete structure using early age concrete should be improved the serviceability and structural performance with the application of new fiber materials. Therefore specimens, designed by the test varibles, such as with or without stirrup and percent of steel fiber incorporated, were constructed and tested to evaluate and develop the structural performance of reinforced steel fiber concrete beam. Based on the test results reported in this study, the following conclusions are made. Specimens, designed by the over 0.75% of steel fiber incorporated, were showed the ductile behavior and failed slowly with flexure and flexure-shear. Comparing with the load-displacement relationship of specimen BSS, designed by the recommendations of the Ministry of Construction and Transportation, reinforced steel fiber concrete beam using early age concrete, over 0.75% of steel fiber incorporated, gets enough load carrying capacity and ductility. Increasing the percent of steel fiber incorporated(0.25~2.0%), the ultimate shear stress of each specimen were increased 12~40% than that of control specimen SSS.

The popularization of VR content is slow. It's because they have not created a new visual experience, that is, 'utility' beyond 'interest'. The utility of VR content starts from functional reality. And to enhanced it, realistic interaction is required. Specifically, this study presents three methods of network play, character artificial intelligence, and Haptic implementation. In order to confirm the hypothesis, we conducted all phases of VR content production from baseball to contents production, play test, and technical verification. Through the test of the user and the evaluation institution about the final product, it was evaluated that it contributed to the realization of the content realism through the realistic visual effect, the play presentation, and the impact evaluation by the vibration.

Foot bionic robot could be supported and towed through a series of discrete footholds and be adapted to rugged terrain through attitude adjustment. The vibration isolation of the robot could decouple the fuselage from foot-end trajectories, thus, the robot walked smoothly even if in a significant terrain. The gait programming and foot end trajectory algorithm were simulated. The quadruped robot of parallel five linkages with eight degrees of freedom were tested. The kinematics model of the robot was established by setting the corresponding coordinate system. The forward and inverse kinematics of both supporting and swinging legs were analyzed, and the angle function of single leg driving joint was obtained. The trajectory planning of both supporting and swinging phases was carried out, based on the control strategy of compound cycloid foot-end trajectory planning algorithm with zero impact. The single leg was simulated in Matlab with the established kinematic model. Finally, the walking mode of the robot was studied according to bionics principles. The diagonal gait was simulated and verified through the foot-end trajectory and the kinematics.
