This is a reviewing paper on the ramjet development programs of the U.S.A. and European countries through the presented papers at the ISABE 2005 and Joint Propulsion Conference 2008. Interestingly, the programs which are developing now are only limited on the ducted rocket, neither liquid nor pure solid fuel ramjet.

In this paper, we propose a new approach to design and control a smart gripper of robot system. A control method for flexible grasping a object in partially unknown environment was proposed, where a proximate sensor detecting the distance between the fingertip and object was used. Based on the proximate sensor signal the finger motion controller could plan the grasping process divided in three phases. The first step is scanning process which two first joints were moved to mid-position of the detected range by a state-variable feedback position controller, after the scanning was finished. The contact force of fingertip was then controlled using the detection sensor of the servo controller for finger joint control. The proposed grasping planning was tested on rectangular bar.

Various methods control the influence of a covariate on a response variable. These methods are analysis of covariance(ANCOVA), RANK ANCOVA, ANOVA of (covariate-adjusted) residuals, and Kruskal-Wallis tests on residuals. Covariate-adjusted residuals are obtained from the overall regression line fit to the entire data set that ignore the treatment levels or factors. It is demonstrated that the methods on covariate-adjusted residuals are only appropriate when the regression lines are parallel and covariate means are equal for all treatments. In this paper, we proposed the new nonparametric method on the ANCOVA model, as applying joint placement in a one-way layout on residuals as described in Chung and Kim (2007). A Monte Carlo simulation study is adapted to compare the power of the proposed procedure with those of the previous procedure.

A new control scheme is developed to achieve fast and accurate decoupled tracking for an n-Joint robotic manipulator In the Presence of disturbances and unknown Parameter variations. The control system is designed so that a new type of state trajectories called sliding mode may exist in a phase plane. In order to remove the reaching Phase and high frequency chattering phenomenon which ate the common shortcomings of variable structure control(VSC) scheme, this paper presents the new switching line which is composed of three segments and the continuous control law which is derived from the existence condition of a sliding mode. The Proposed methods in this Paper are applied to a 3-Joint robotic manipulator as a numerical example-The digital simulation results which are compared with those of typical VSC scheme show the validity of accurate tracking capability and robust Performance of the system.

Structural failures, such as crack initiation, often arise near the bolted parts of the side member and trunnion bracket in some commercial vehicles. The purpose of this paper is: 1) establishment of a simple and practical bolted joint modelling technique and 2) determination of the key design variables for design improvement based on numerical experiments. Once the bolted joint modelling technique is established through experimental verification, the key design variables must be identified in order to alleviate the level of the stress concentration near the problem region. Numerical results indicate that the torsional rigidity of the frame cross-section should be increased to reduce the level of the maximum stress at the actual crack initiation location.

Where the track is continuously welded over a bridge, the longitudinal force is interacted between the track and the sub-structure. Due to this respect, the expansion joint is used to decrease this force. But the expansion joint has several problems related to passenger comfort and maintenance etc. In this study, it is analysed about how the stability of the track is affected as the span length becomes longer in case of 2-span continuos bridge. It is found that there is no problem of an stability unless the span length is longer than 90m when the elastic shoe is used. And several parametric studies were also implemented.

The inverse kinematics problem is to find a set of joint variable values that will place the end effector of a robot manipulator into a given pose. Pieper has shown that a sufficient condition for a manipulator to have a closed form solution is that three adjacent joint axes intersects, hence the six axes robot with spherical wrist allows closed form solution. But many industrial robots have a non-spherical wrist to provide a stronger wrist configuration so that they can handle heavy payloads. Also, the use of a non-spherical wrist can result in a cheap and simple wrist arrangement than when all three axes intersect at a common point. In these cases, closed form solutions cannot be found. Therefore numerical technique must be used to solve the inverse kinematics equations. This paper proposes a new algorithm that can be used for finding inverse kinematics solution of the six axes robot with non-spherical wrist. Computer simulations are provided to prove the usefulness of our method.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and make a comparison between the Ordinary Moment Resisting Frames using different analytical joint model for the Nonlinear response. For this purpose, 3-story structure was designed according to NEHRP 1994 Guidelines. And the center-line dimension model and model considering panel zone were used as analytical model for the structure. Nonlinear Static Procedure and Nonlinear Dynamic Procedure were used to evaluate seismic capacities and demands. The limitation in FEMA 273 was used as the variable number to predicte seismic demands of OMRFs. This analytical studies were performed with DRAIN-2DX modified by Shan Shi. Using the above results, the performance evaluation and seismic demands of OMRFs shall be performed. Finally NSP and NDP shall be compared.

In this study, a moment resisting precast concrete beam-column connection is proposed. An experimental study was carried out to investigate the connection behavior subjected to cyclic loading. Three precast beam-column interior connections and one monolithic connection were tested. Variable included the detailing used at the joint to achieve structural constructability and the location of mild steel reinforcement and high strength bar. During specimen fabrication, the joint details enables ease and speed of construction. Connection performance is evaluated on the basis of ductility, energy dissipation capacity, connection strength, and drift capacity. Based on test results, the precast concrete beam-column connection is capable of matching or exceeding the performance of the monolithic connection.

This paper deals with the lifetime prediction of Aircraft Flaperon Joint made of AISI 4130 steel. Reviews are performed on the published damage models at first. And three different damage models are used for predicting the fatigue life of the structure subjected to variable amplitude fatigue loading. These models require no increase in complexity of use, nor do they require additional material property or mission loading information to achieve the improved accuracy. Finally a comparison among the fatigue results is performed. It is observed that the Miner's rule could predict longer life than other cumulative damage models which take into account loads below the endurance limit.
