This work numerically investigates the effects of Reynolds number Re_D (= 100 - 150), cross-sectional aspect ratio AR = ( 0.25 -1.0), and attack angle α (= 0° - 90°) on the forces, Strouhal number, and wake of an elliptical cylinder, where Re_D is based on the freestream velocity and cylinder cross-section height normal to the freestream flow, AR is the ratio of the minor axis to the major axis of the elliptical cylinder, and α is the angle between the cylinder major axis and the incoming flow. At Re_D = 100, two distinct wake structures are identified, namely 'Steady wake' (pattern I) and 'Karman wake followed by a steady wake (pattern II)' when AR and α are varied in the ranges specified. When Re_D is increased to 150, an additional wake pattern, 'Karman wake followed by secondary wake (pattern III)' materializes. Pattern I is characterized by two steady bubbles forming behind the cylinder. Pattern II features Karman vortex street immediately behind the cylinder, with the vortex street transmuting to two steady shear layers downstream. Inflection angle α_i = 32°, 37.5° and 45° are identified for AR = 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75, respectively, where the wake asymmetry is the greatest. The α_i effectively distinguishes the dependence on α and AR of force and vortex shedding frequency at either Re_D. In Pattern III, the Karman street forming behind the cylinder is modified to a secondary vortex street. At a given AR and α, Re_D = 150 renders higher fluctuating lift and Strouhal number than Re_D = 100.

척추 측만증 교정 시 유합 범위에 따른 수술 후 의 효과를 분석하기 위하여 King-Moe type II 형태의 척추 측만증 환자를 대상으로 이에 대한 수학적 유한 요소 모델을 개발하였다. 유한 요소 모델을 이용하여 척추경 나사못을 이용한 고정 및 강봉 감염술 형태의 수술모사를 수행하였으며, 유합 범위를 각기 달리하여 수술 시뮬레이션 후의 척추계의 변화 즉 Cobb 각도, 첨추체 축회전, 흉추 후만각 그리고 늑골고의 변화를 정량적으로 계산하였다. 해석 결과 강봉 감염술의 경우에서 보다 강봉을 척추경 나사못에 연결시키는 과정에서 훨씬 더 많은 Cobb각도의 변화를 얻을 수 있었다. 강봉 감염술 과정에서는 약간의 Cobb각도 감소를 유발시킬 수 있었으나 오히려 척추체 축회전과 늑골 돌출고의 증가를 나타내었다 아울러 강봉과 척추경 나사못의 체결 과정이 척추 후만각 유지에도 큰 역할을 하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 유합 범위를 변곡 발생 추체의 위치 보다 한 단계씩 길게(T4-12) 하여 60o의 강봉 감염술을 시행하였을 경우 Cobb 각도를 두 배 감소시킬 수 있었으나 급격한 늑골고와 첨추체 축회전량의 증가가 유발되었다. 해석 결과 유합 범위는 만곡 흠추체에서 변곡이 발생되는 위치 보다 한 레벨씩 작게 선정하는 것이 최적의 유합 범위임을 알 수 있었다.

In the work at hand, the development of a morphing flap, actuated through shape memory alloy load bearing elements, is described. Moving from aerodynamic specifications, prescribing the morphed shape enhancing the aerodynamic efficiency of the flap, a suitable actuation architecture was identified, able to affect the curvature. Each rib of the flap was split into three elastic elements, namely "cells", connected each others in serial way and providing the bending stiffness to the structure. The edges of each cell are linked to SMA elements, whose contraction induces rotation onto the cell itself with an increase of the local curvature of the flap airfoil. The cells are made of two metallic plates crossing each others to form a characteristic "X" configuration; a good flexibility and an acceptable stress concentration level was obtained non connecting the plates onto the crossing zone. After identifying the main design parameters of the structure (i.e. plates relative angle, thickness and depth, SMA length, cross section and connections to the cell) an optimization was performed, with the scope of enhancing the achievable rotation of the cell, its ability in absorbing the external aerodynamic loads and, at the same time, containing the stress level and the weight. The conceptual scheme of the architecture was then reinterpreted in view of a practical realization of the prototype. Implementation issues (SMA - cells connection and cells relative rotation to compensate the impressed inflection assuring the SMA pre-load) were considered. Through a detailed FE model the prototype morphing performance were investigated in presence of the most severe load conditions.

두 개의 평판이 직각으로 만나는 corner에서 형성되는 층류 경계층을 입자영상유속계 기법을 이용하여 측정하였다. 자유류 유속은 2.96 ~ 3.0 m/s, 층류 경계층이 형성 될 수 있도록 모델에 대한 유동의 입사각을 1.2도로 하여 작은 순 압력구배를 제공하였다. 모델의 앞전은 둥근 형상으로 처리하였으며 모델의 길이는 약 1000mm이다. 측정 결과는 이등분면에서 corner 경계층의 전형적인 특징인 변곡점을 가지는 박리형 속도 분포를 보여주었다. 이등분면에서 멀어져 감에 따라 속도 분포는 평판의 Blasius 분포로 변해가고, 이등분면 경계층 두께의 약 절반만큼 평판을 따라 멀어지면 변화가 완료된다. 앞전에서부터 하류로 감에 따라 이등분면에서의 경계층 성장 및 속도 분포의 유사 상사성을 측정 결과로부터 확인하였다.

Objective: This study aims to identify important physical design variables in designing a necklace type wearable device, and to present design guidelines to maximize comfort that a user feels upon wearing the device. Background: Interests in fitness culture and personal health are on the rise recently. In such a situation, demand for necklace type wearable devices is projected to increase a lot, as the devices enable users to use their hands freely and to enjoy various contents through connection with mobile devices. However, the necklace type wearable device's comfort was assessed to have the lowest comfort in a running situation, where human body moves up and down and left and right more than other devices wearable on other human body parts. Therefore, the usability of a necklace type wearable device was low. In this regard, studies on identification of the variables affecting user comfort upon wearing a necklace type wearable device and on physical design direction maximizing comfort and usability are needed. Method: A pretest and a main test were carried out to draw the direction of necklace type wearable device design. In the pretest, wearing evaluation on the diverse types of devices released in the market was conducted to draw physical design variables of the devices affecting comfort. Furthermore, variables significantly affecting the comfort of a device were selected through an analysis of variance (ANOVA). In the main test, anthropometry was performed, and information on anthropometric items corresponding to the design variables selected in the pretest was acquired. Based on the pretest results and the anthropometric information in the main test, the present study produced design guidelines maximizing the comfort of a necklace type wearable device with regard to major design variables upon dynamic tasks. Results: According to the pretest results, the variables having effects on comfort were the angle of side points, width, and height. Due to interactions between variables, those need to be simultaneously considered upon designing a device. Upon dynamic tasks, the angle of side points and width of a device was designed to be smaller than mean angle of the trapezius muscle and neck width, and thus attachment to human body was high. As height was designed to be larger than mean neck front and rear point width, comfort was higher due to feeling of stability. Conclusion: Because user sensitivity to comfort was high at human body's inflection points, a device needs to be designed for users not to feel high pressure on specific body parts with the device fitting human body shape well. A design considering user's situation is also required in further studies.

Recent development of 3D scanner and software is regarded as a promising method of acquiring replicas from human body indirectly. It would be very helpful if we could predict the characteristics of 2D pattern from the simple parameters related to 3D shape for ordinary user. Therefore, in this study, investigation of 2D pattern of waist/abdominal area from the 3D geometrical model was conducted for the pattern development of waist nipper. To create body models and develop the surface of them, one ortho commonly used CAD/CAM program, IDEAS(UGS-plm solutions, USA) was used. As for the size of the models, the width, thickness, and circumference ranges of adult women's torso reported in National Anthropometric Survey of Korea (1997) were used as a standard model. Seven size variations were made by changing the width of the waist only, from 19 cm to 40 cm. Therefore, simulated body models include not only the normal body but also obese body who has wider waist and abdomen width than hip width. As results, it was found that the curvature of the unfolded 2D pattern around the abdominal area decreases as the waist width increases. As the width of the waist increases more and more, so that the comparative ratios around the torso becomes in abnormal ranges, there appears inflection points and the direction of curvature was changed. 2D Patterns obtained in this research were quantified by curvature, length of the curve and angle of deflection in the reference frame box for the convenience of the actual pattern making process. It was also possible to find that the shape of patterns of abnormal body resulted in a quite interesting change in the curves of 2D pattern, which could be applied to the custom made waist nipper for obese women.
