본 논문에서는 횡압으로 곡선추종성을 판단하였고, 주행안전성은 윤중감소율 및 윤중과 횡압의 비율인 탈선계수로 평가하였다. 고출력 신형 전기기관차의 곡선추종성 및 주행안전성 평가한 결과, 탈선계수는 시험축이 열차의 앞쪽에 위치할 때가 뒤쪽에 위치할 때보다 크게 나타났으며, 탈선계수의 최대값은 경부선 상행선에서 0.572로 나타났다. 횡압은 곡선 선로가 많은 구간에서 크게 발생하여 주행속도보다는 곡선반경에 비례하는 것으로 나타났으며, 최대 축당 횡압은 태백선에서 77.6 kN 까지 발생하였다. 윤중감소율은 영동선에서 47.6 %까지 발생하였다. 최고속도에서의 주행안전성과 최소곡선반경에서의 곡선통과성능이 요구하는 기준을 만족하였다.

주행 중 인체는 발과 지면 사이의 반복적인 충격력을 경험한다. 충격력은 하지의 부간 편안함 그리고 주행 능력과 높은 연관성이 있다. 이에 신발 메이커들은 하지의 부상을 줄이고 편안함을 향상시키며 주행 능력을 개선하기 위하여 다양한 특성의 중저를 가진 신발을 개발하여 왔다. 본 연구의 목적은 남녀 주행 시 수직 지면반력 및 착지각도에 미치는 신발 중저 경도의 영향을 조사하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 전문 주자 남녀 각각 다섯 명이 본 실험에 참여하여 연질 중질, 경질의 운동화를 순차적으로 신고 동일한속도로 주행하도록 하였다. 결론적으로 성별과는 무관하게 최대 수직 지면반력, 충격력 정점, 디딤 시간은 신발 중저의 경도의 영향을 주지 못하였다. 하지만 중저가 경질이 될수록 부하 시간은 감소하고 부하율은 증가하였다. 이때 남성 참여자가 중저의 변화에 대하여 큰 차이를 보이지 않은 반면 여성 참여자는 상대적으로 더 민감한 반응을 보였다. 저자들은 본 연구의 결과가 향후 성별에 특화된 신발의 적절한 중저 경도를 결정하기 위한 가이드라인을 제공하는데 적용되기를 기대하는 바이다.

본 연구에서는 Froude 수 1.0, 길이 약 10 m 급 소형 고속선의 저항성능과 승선감을 향상시키기 위해 선미 끝단에 트림 탭을 부착하여 항주자세를 제어하였고, 트림 탭의 제원에 따른 성능을 확인하기 위해 CFD 해석을 수행하였다. 먼저 선행 연구로부터 수치해석이 수행되는 스케일에 따라 결과에 차이가 있는 것이 확인되었고, 이를 피하고자 실선 스케일에서의 해석을 수행하였다. 부착된 트림 탭의 코드 길이는 L_PP의 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 %였으며, 선저 면과의 각도는 5° 간격으로 변화를 주었다. 트림 탭은 선박의 선미트림과 부상량을 감소시키는 효과가 있었으며, 이 효과는 트림 탭의 선저 면과의 각도가 클수록, 코드 길이가 길수록 증가하였다. 이로 인해 압력저항은 감소하고 전단저항은 증가하였으며, 두 성분의 변화량에 따라 전 저항 저감율이 결정되었다. 결과로부터 대상 선박의 최적 항주자세는 약 1.5°의 선미트림으로 특정되었고, 이때 저항성능은 약 27 % 개선되었다.

이 연구는 평소에 주변에 상존하지만 버려지는 미활용 에너지를 수확하여 전기로 생산하는 에너지하베스팅에 관한 것이다. 이 연구에서는 다양한 에너지원들 중에서 도로나 주차장을 주행하는 차량의 진동과 압력을 동시에 활용하는 하이브리드 방식의 에너지 하베스터를 개발하였다. 1단계 연구에서는 프로토타입 에너지하베스터, 이를 개선된 하이브리드 모듈, 그리고 하이브리드 모듈의 성능을 개선한 최종 모듈을 개발하였으며, 그 결과는 이전 논문으로 발표하였다. 본 논문은 최종 개발된 하이브리드 모듈을 실제 주차장에 설치하여 차량의 주행에 따른 압력과 진동, 그리고 차량주행 속도에 따른 발전성능을 측정하고 앞서 발표된 실험실 조건에서의 측정결과와 비교하였다. 선행연구에서 수행한 실험실 조건에서의 에너지블록의 최대전력은 1회 가진시 1.066W, 5회연속 가진시 1.830W로 측정되었다. 반면에 이 연구에서 실시한 실제 주차장 주행차량 속도별 측정결과는 5km/h 주행시 평균 0.310W, 10km/h에서 0.670W, 20km/h에서 1.250W, 30km/h에서 2.1600W로 측정되었다. 즉, 차량의 주행속도가 높을수록 발전성능은 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 실험실조건에 대비해서 주행속도 20km/h까지는 발전성능이 떨어지며, 실험실 조건의 1회 가진시 대비해서는 20km/h이상, 그리고 5회연속가진에 대비해서는 30km/h 이상일 때 발전성능이 높은 것으로 측정되었다. 이는 실험실과 실제차량이라는 재하조건의 차이로 사료된다. 따라서 향후 도로용 에너지블록의 적용은 주차장 조건보다는 주행도로용으로 활용하는 것이 효과적일 것으로 사료된다.

Turning behavior of tractor-trailer system was studied to guide the tractor and trailer. Based upon kinematic relationship between the tractor and the trailer, a mathematical model was developed and analyzed by computer simulation. A field test was carried out to verify the mathematical model. Following conclusions were drawn from this study. 1. A mathematical model and a simulation program for turning behavior of tractor-trailer system were developed. 2. The results of the field tests showed that the RMS errors were less than 0.33m and the mathematical model based upon kinematic relationship can be used for mapping guidance system for tractor and trailer. 3. As the steering angle was increased, the turning radius was decreased. When the tractor travelled at the low speed, the travel speed of the tractor did not affect turning radius but did affect running time and stability for steering. 4. When the tractor travelled under the critical velocity, the towed trailer followed smoothly. When the the tractor travelled faster than the critical velocity, the towed trailer oscillated. The critical velocity was determined from the specification of the tractor and the trailer.

This paper experimentally investigates the effects of oxygen-enriched air (OEA) on the running behaviors of an LPG SI engine during both start/warm-up (SW) and hot idling (HI) stages. The experiments were performed on an air-cooled, single-cylinder, 4-stroke, LPG SI engine with an electronic fuel injection system and an electrically-heated oxygen sensor. OEA containing 23% and 25% oxygen (by volume) was supplied for the experiments. The throttle position was fixed at that of idle condition. A fueling strategy was used as following: the fuel injection pulse width (FIPW) in the first cycle of injection was set 5.05 ms, and 2.6 ms in the subsequent cycles till the achieving of closed-loop control. In closed-loop mode, the FIPW was adjusted by the ECU in terms of the oxygen sensor feedback. Instantaneous engine speed, cylinder pressure, engine-out time-resolved HC, CO and NOx emissions and excess air coefficient (EAC) were measured and compared to the intake air baseline (ambient air, 21% oxygen). The results show that during SW stage, with the increase in the oxygen concentration in the intake air, the EAC of the mixture is much closer to the stoichiometric one and more oxygen is made available for oxidation, which results in evidently-improved combustion. The ignition in the first firing cycle starts earlier and peak pressure and maximum heat release rate both notably increase. The maximum engine speed is elevated and HC and CO emissions are reduced considerably. The percent reductions in HC emissions are about 48% and 68% in CO emissions about 52% and 78%; with 23% and 25% OEA, respectively, compared to ambient air. During HI stage, with OEA, the fuel amount per cycle increases due to closed-loop control, the engine speed rises, and speed stability is improved. The HC emissions notably decrease: about 60% and 80% with 23% and 25% OEA, respectively, compared to ambient air. The CO emissions remain at the same low level as with ambient air. During both SW and HI stages, intake air oxygen enrichment causes the delay of spark timing and the increased NOx emissions.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the interrelationship between ranges of motion of the knee and ankle joints on the sagittal plane and the attenuation magnitude of impact shock at high frequency (9~20 Hz) in the support phase during downhill running. Method: Fifteen male heel-toe runners with no history of lower extremity injuries were recruited for this study (age, $25.07{\pm}5.35years$; height, $175.4{\pm}4.6cm$; mass, $75.8{\pm}.70kg$). Two uniaxial accelerometers were mounted to the tuberosity of tibia and sacrum, respectively, to measure acceleration signals. The participants were asked to run at their preferred running speed on a treadmill set at $0^{\circ}$, $7^{\circ}$, and $15^{\circ}$ downhill. Six optical cameras were placed around the treadmill to capture the coordinates of the joints of the lower extremities. The power spectrum densities of the two acceleration signals were analyzed and used in the transfer function describing the gain and attenuation of impact shock between the tibia and the sacrum. Angles of the knee and ankle joints on the sagittal plane and their angle ranges were calculated. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to test the relationship between two variables, the magnitude of impact shock, and the range of joint angle under three downhill conditions. The alpha level was set at .05. Results: Close correlations were observed between the knee joint range of motion and the attenuation magnitude of impact shock regardless of running slopes (p<.05), and positive correlations were found between the ranges of motion of the knee and ankle joints and the attenuation magnitude of impact shock in $15^{\circ}$ downhill running (p<.05). Conclusion: In conclusion, increased knee flexion might be required to attenuate impact shock during downhill and level running through change in stride or cadence while maintaining stability, and strong and flexible ankle joints are also needed in steeper downhill running.

PURPOSE: Robotic gait training is being used increasingly to improve the gross motor performance and gait speed. The present study examined the effectiveness of a novel end-effector type of robotic gait training (RGT) system on standing, walking, running, and jumping functions, as well as the gait speed in children with spastic cerebral palsy. METHODS: Eleven children with spastic cerebral palsy Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels I-III (6 males; age range, 15.09 ± 1.44 years) were examined. They underwent 24 sessions (30 minutes/sessions, one time/day, three days/week for eight consecutive weeks) of RGT. The Gross Motor Function Measure-88 D domain (GMFM D), and GMFM E were assessed with a pretest and posttest of RGT. The setting was a one-group pretest-posttest design. RESULTS: A comparison of the pre-test and post-test show that the outcomes in post-test of GMFM D (p < .01), GMFM E (p < .05), and 10MWT were improved significantly after RGT intervention. CONCLUSION: The present study provided the first evidence on the effects of an eight-weeks RGT intervention in participants with spastic CP. The outcomes of this clinical study showed that standing performance, locomotion function, and gait speed increased in after 24 sessions of the end-effector RGT system in children with spastic cerebral palsy.

As pointed out by many previous investigators, the cardio-pulmonary system of well trained athletes is so adapted that they can perform a given physical exercise more efficiently as compared to non-trained persons. However, the time course of the development of these cardio-pulmonary adaptations has not been extensively studied in the past. Although the development of these training effects is undoubtedly related to the magnitude of an exercise load which is repeatedly given, it would be practical if one could maintain a good physical fitness with a minimal daily exercise. Hence, the present investigation was undertaken to study the time course of the development of cardio-pulmonary adaptations while a group of non-athletes was subjected to a daily 6 to 10 minutes running exercise for a period of 4 weeks. Six healthy male medical students (22 to 24 years old) were randomly selected as experimental subjects, and were equally divided into two groups (A and B). Both groups were subjected to the same daily running exercise (approximately 1,000 kg-m). 6 days a week for 4 weeks, but the rate of exercise was such that the group A ran on treadmill with 8.6% grade for 10 min daily at a speed of 127 m/min while the group B ran for 6 min at a speed of 200 m/min. In order to assess the effects of these physical trainings on the cardio-pulmonary system, the minute volume, the $O_2$ consumption, the $CO_2$ output and the heart rate were determined weekly while the subject was engaged in a given running exercise on treadmill (8.6% grade and 127 m/min) for a period of 5 min. In addition, the arterial blood pressure, the cardiac output, the acid-base state of arterial blood and the gas composition of arterial blood were also determined every other week in 4 subjects (2 from each group) while they were engaged in exercise on a bicycle ergometer at a rate of approximately 900 kg m/min until exhaustion. The maximal work capacity was also determined by asking the subject to engage in exercise on treadmill and ergometer until exhaustion. For the measurement of minute volume, the expired gas was collected in a Douglas bag. The $O_2$ consumption and the $CO_2$ output were subsequently computed by analysing the expired gas with a Scholander micro gas analyzer. The heart rate was calculated from the R-R interval of ECG tracings recorded by an Offner RS Dynograph. A 19 gauge Cournand needle was inserted into a brachial artery, through which arterial blood samples were taken. A Statham $P_{23}AA$ pressure transducer and a PR-7 Research Recorder were used for recording instantaneous arterial pressure. The cardiac output was measured by indicator (Cardiogreen) dilution method. The results may be summarized as follows: (1) The maximal running time on treadmill increased linearly during the 4 week training period at the end of which it increased by 2.8 to 4.6 times. In general, an increase in the maximal running time was greater when the speed was fixed at a level at which the subject was trained. The mammal exercise time on bicycle ergometer also increased linearly during the training period. (2) In carrying out a given running exercise on treadmill (8.6%grade, 127 m/min), the following changes in cardio·pulmonary functions were observed during the training period: (a) The minute volume as well as the $O_2$ consumption during steady state exercise tended to decrease progressively and showed significant reductions after 3 weeks of training. (b) The $CO_2$ production during steady state exercise showed a significant reduction within 1 week of training. (c) The heart rate during steady state exercise tended to decrease progressively and showed a significant reduction after 2 weeks of training. The reduction of heart rate following a given exercise tended to become faster by training and showed a significant change after 3 weeks. Although the resting heart rate also tended to decrease by training, no significant change was observed. (3) In rallying out a given exercise (900 kg-m/min) on a bicycle ergometer, the following change in cardio-vascular functions were observed during the training period: (3) The systolic blood pressure during steady state exercise was not affected while the diastolic blood Pressure was significantly lowered after 4 weeks of training. The resting diastolic pressure was also significantly lowered by the end of 4 weeks. (b) The cardiac output and the stroke volume during steady state exercise increased maximally within 2 weeks of training. However, the resting cardiac output was not altered while the resting stroke volume tended to increase somewhat by training. (c) The total peripheral resistance during steady state exercise was greatly lowered within 2 weeks of training. The mean circulation time during exorcise was also considerably shortened while the left heart work output during exercise increased significantly within 2 weeks. However, these functions_at rest were not altered by training. (d) Although both pH, $P_{co2}\;and\;(HCO_3-)$ of arterial plasma decreased during exercise, the magnitude of reductions became less by training. On the other hand, the $O_2$ content of arterial blood decreased during exercise before training while it tended to increase slightly after training. There was no significant alteration in these values at rest. These results indicate that cardio-pulmonary adaptations to physical training can be acquired by subjecting non-athletes to brief daily exercise routine for certain period of time. Although the time of appearance of various adaptive phenomena is not identical, it may be stated that one has to engage in daily exercise routine for at least 2 weeks for the development of significant adaptive changes.
