The rotor dynamics and balancing technic for rotating equipment during engineering and manufacture stage are to be carefully considered in order to minimize the operation troubles regarding vibration during commissioning stage. In this paper, the test rig, which includes the disks as balancing plane, is designed and manufactured, so that the characteristic of rotor dynamics can be analyzed such as critical speed and mode shape. The critical speed predicted through natural frequency analysis is verified by the actual measurement on bearing housing vibration during start-up condition of test rig. The low speed balancing and the operating speed balancing test are performed respectively with consideration of first critical speed, and the residual unbalance amounts are estimated in accordance with the relevant method described in API standard. In addition, the single and dual plane balancing are carried out on main disk and trim disk depended on phase information at each balancing step.

Hydraulic hose assemblies deliver a fluid power in various oil pressure equipments such as construction machinery, automobile, aircraft, industrial machinery, machine tools, and machinery for ships, or they are used as pipes in oil pressure circuit. However, as the traditional measure for estimating life under the influence of various external factors incurs hardship in terms of time and expenses, it is essential to take accelerated life test by choosing the factor that suits the usage condition of the test object. The objective of the this study is to propose a acceleration model that takes both temperature and pressure without flexing condition into consideration. The life that is calculated by the equation for evaluating life and the test data show similar slopes as a result of comparing and analyzing the equation for evaluating life that is obtained in this research and the test data, which illustrates that they estimate life similarly, and the proposed equation is proved to be an accelerated life equation that presents the test results.

This study looks into changing building energy use by application of phase change material (PCM). PCM does not need extra energy for operation and is used for reducing building energy use and, CO2 output by displaying semi-permanent effects after installation. It also is able to avoid the maximum electric power time-zone by inducing a time lag phenomenon of cooling and heating loads with high thermal capacity using latent heat. To verify the efficiency of blinds and PCM, tests about the PCM operation mechanism using air conditioning machinery and nocturnal panel cooling were done. In the test results of the case using PCM installation, a $45^{\circ}$ blind angle with machinery air conditioning and nocturnal panel cooling at the same time shows a 22 percent energy saving effect against general space. The test results of each case were compared and analyzed based on the blind and window opening settings. Finally, the energy reduction of existing buildings using PCM application was reviewed based on the final measurement results.

Wheelchair users experience difficulty when using transportation. This is because wheelchair users must use transportation means together with wheelchairs. Therefore, in this paper, we developed a wheelchair storage system for passenger's car trunk. The mechanism is designed to allow a wheelchair and the device to be housed simultaneously in the narrow space of the trunk of the sedan passenger car. Additionally, this wheelchair storage system has implemented an initial load reduction mechanism that can mechanically reduce the initial load. This wheelchair storage system verified the system's operability through the production of the prototype. This system was actually installed in the trunk of the sedan passenger's car to verify the storage process. The operation and storage process of the wheelchair storage system was been perfectly verified. This wheelchair storage system will help a lot of self-driver or an assistant (female or elderly) who use wheelchairs.

A typical gantry crane is generally used to lift and transport objects in various workplaces. Most of the supporting structures in a gantry crane are fixed on the ground while the moving hoist is running overhead along the girder. There are some disadvantages to its long installation time and high installation cost. Therefore, a hydraulic based gantry crane was studied to solve the issues of typical gantry cranes. The supporting structure of the proposed gantry crane consisted of a hydraulic cylinder and telescopic boom. The dimension of the proposed gantry crane can be decreased due to its simplified structure. The analytical and theoretical methods were used to verify the structural stability of the proposed crane. The most severe load condition was considered for the analysis, and the stress and deflection of the structure are analyzed. The simulation results were as expected from the theoretical analysis. Finally, the structural and dynamic safety of the proposed hydraulic based gantry crane was validated. The obtained results can be used as guidelines in the design process of the hydraulic based gantry crane.
