An approximate function approach has been developed using the subsystem synthesis method for real-time multibody vehicle dynamics models. In this approach, instead of solving loop closure constraint equations of the suspension linkage, approximate functions are used. The approximate function represents the functional relationship between dependent coordinates and independent coordinates of the suspension subsystem. This kinematic relationship is also included in the suspension subsystem equations of motion. Different order of polynomial functions are tried to find out the best candidate functions. The proposed method is also compared with the conventional subsystem synthesis method to verify its efficiency and accuracy.

The response characteristics of EHA systems are sensitive to the temperature change of working fluid because the temperature of working fluid causes the variation of system parameters such as effective bulk modulus and viscous friction coefficient. In this paper, a precise position control of EHA system using the adaptive sliding mode control system is suggested. The adapted system parameters such as effective bulk modulus and viscous friction coefficient can be used for monitoring failures in the EHA system which has potential applications in the industrial fields. Not only the accuracy of adapted system parameters but also the improved performance and robustness in a given reference position of the cylinder are verified by computer simulation using AMESim software.

The paper describes estimation errors of unsteady flowrate measurements due to parameter changes in a quasi-remote instantaneous flowrate measurement method (abbreviate as QIFM) and an instantaneous flowrate measurement method using two points pressure measurements (abbreviate as TPFM). By introducing error performance index, the influence of parameter changes on the accuracy, and dynamic response of the estimated unsteady flowrate are evaluated. Of four parameters, the variation of the length of the pipeline and speed of sound produce large errors in the estimated unsteady flowrate during transient periods. The effect of kinematic viscosity of the working fluid(oil) is relatively insensitive in unsteady flowrate estimation.

The purpose of this study is the GCP/DEM estimations through satellite stereo image interpretation using GPS. We carried out GPS observation fixing first order control points and GPS permanent stations. Comparing static surveying and kinematic surveying, we analysed the surveying methods for GCP and DEM estimations. As the results, considering SPOT image spatial resolution, the DEM can be made through satellite stereo image interpretation.

For a dynamic analysis of a constrained multibody system, it is necessary to have a routine for satisfying kinematic constraints. LU decomposition scheme, which is used to divide coordinates into dependent and independent coordinates, is efficient but has great difficulty near the singular configuration. Other method such as the projection matrix, which is more stable near a singular configuration, takes longer simulation time due to the large amount of calculation for decomposition. In this paper, the row space and the null space of the Jacobian matrix are proposed by using the pseudo-inverse method and the projection matrix. The equations of the motion of a system are replaced with independent acceleration components using the null space of the Jacobian matrix. Also a new hybrid method is proposed, combining the LU decomposition and the projection matrix. The proposed hybrid method has following advantages. (1) The simulation efficiency is preserved by the LU method during the simulation. (2) The accuracy of the solution is also achieved by the projection method near the singular configuration.

Accurate estimation of the robot's position has an important role in autonomous navigation. Odometry is one of the most widely used techniques for mobile robot positioning. However, odometry has a well-known drawback that the position errors are accumulated when the travel distance increases. The UMBmark method is the conventional odometry calibration scheme for two wheel differential mobile robots. In the UMBmark method, the approximations for small angles are used in order to simplify the calculations. In this paper, we propose the new calibration scheme by using experimental orientation errors. Kinematic parameters can be calculated accurately without approximations by using experimental orientation errors. The numerical simulation and experimental results show that the odometry accuracy can be improved by the proposed method.

The research presents an analytical theory to calculate the characteristics of the bal bearing with waviness in its rolling elements considering the centrifugal force and gyroscopic moment of bal. The effects of centrifugal force and gyroscopic moment are introduced to the kinematic constraints and force equilibrium equations. and the waviness of rolling elements is modeled by sinusoidal function to calculate the contact force at each ball. The numerical solutions of governing equation of berating due to waviness are calculated by using the Newton-Raphson method. The accuracy of the research is validated by comparing the contact force. contact angle in case of considering the centrifugal force and gyroscopic moment of bal and the contact force and vibration frequencies in cases of considering waviness with the prior researches respectively. It investigates the stiffness, contact force. displacement and vibration frequencies of the ball bearing considering not only the centrifugal force and gyroscopic moment of ball but also the waviness of the rolling elements.

In this study, a simple two-dimensional shear deformation model is employed for buckling analysis of functionally graded (FG) plates. The proposed theory has a kinematic with integral terms which considers the influence of shear deformation without using "shear correction factors". The impact of varying material properties and volume fraction of the constituent on buckling response of the FG plate is examined and discussed. The benefit of this theory over other contributions is that a number of variables is reduced. The basic equations that consider the influence of transverse shear stresses are derived from the principle of virtual displacements. The analytical solutions are obtained utilizing the "Navier method". The accuracy of the proposed theory is proved by comparisons with the different solutions found in the literature.

A man model is a useful design tool for the evaluation of man machine systems and products. An arm reach trajectory prediction for such a model will be specifically useful to present human activities and, consequently, could increase the accuracy and reality of the evaluation. In this study, a three-dimensional reach trajectory prediction model was developed using an inverse kinematics technique. The upper body was modeled as a four link open kinematic chain with seven degrees of freedom. The Resolved Motion Method used for the robot kinematics problem was used to predict the joint movements. The cost function of the perceived discomfort developed using the central composite design was also used as a performance function. This model predicts the posture by moving the joints to minimize the discomfort on the constraint of the end effector velocity directed to a target point. The results of the pairwise t-test showed that all the joint coordinates except the shoulder joint's showed statistically no differences at .alpha. = 0.01. The reach trajectory prediction model developed in this study was found to accurately simulate human arm reach trajectory and the model will help understand the human arm reach movement.

A microsurgery telerobotic system has been developed to aid surgeons from physiological tremor, eye stram, hand tremor, contagious and radioactive hazard. This paper identifies four general areas of advanced microsurgery and analyzes the motion, tools, accuracy and applying forces with respect to microsurgery tasks, and proposes the criteria to design the microsurgical robot. The analysis of microsurgery can be helpful to clarify some basic concept and design of surgical robots. Based on this analysis results, we propose an efficient in-parallel-platform manipulator having a special kinematic structure suitable for microsurgery.
