평평한 바닥 위에서 강아지풀을 수직으로 누르면 강아지풀은 앞으로 이동한다. 이 현상을 통해서 강아지풀의 이동거리는 강아지풀 처짐량에 의존하는 것을 알아내었다. 그러므로 강아지풀을 누르는 힘, 면적, 속도 변화에 따른 강아지풀의 이동거리에 영향을 주는 요인을 실험을 통해 알아보았다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 강아지풀의 섬모를 모사한 나일론 섬모를 제작하여, 나일론 섬모에 작용하는 힘과 처짐량에 따른 이동거리를 이론적, 실험적으로 알아내었다. 또한 로봇과 관의 내벽 사이 간극 차이에 따라 발생하는 로봇 다리의 각도변화에 따른 이동거리에 대해서 연구하였다. 그리고 소화기와 혈관의 치료를 위한 이동로봇의 섬모 제작에 관한 설계 변수를 제공하기 위해, 로봇 다리의 직경과 탄성계수의 관계에 대해서 연구하였다.

혼합이산비선형계획법(mixed-discrete nonlinear programming) 문제의 최적화를 위한 대표적인 기법 중에 하나인 분지한계법(branch-and-bound method)은 다른 기법에 비해 강건하지만 분지한계법 내부의 각 노드마다 연속최적화를 수행해야 하기 때문에 많은 함수 계산이 요구되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 분지한계법의 단점을 극복하기 위하여 크게 두 가지 연구를 수행하였다. 먼저, 분지한계법의 각 노드마다 동일한 수렴허용오차를 설정해주던 기존의 방법을 대체할 수 있는 비균일 수렴허용오차 방법을 제안하였다. 또한 분지한계법에 적용할 수 있는 5 가지 분지순서 방법 중에서 분지한계법의 성능을 가장 극대화할 수 있는 분지순서 방법을 제시하였다. 수렴허용오차 방법과 분지순서 방법들을 각각 선택하여 분지한계법에 적용한 후 7 개의 수학예제와 4 개의 공학예제에 대하여 테스트를 수행한 결과, 제안된 비균일 수렴허용오차 방법과 5 가지 분지순서 방법 중 최소간 격차이법을 분지한계법에 함께 적용할 경우 분지한계법의 성능이 가장 극대화 됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

Losses on the turbine consist of the mechanical loss, tip clearance loss, secondary flow loss and blade profile loss etc.,. More than 60 % of total losses on the turbine is generated by the two latter loss mechanisms. These losses are directly related with the reduction of turbine efficiency. In order to provide a new design methodology for reducing losses and increasing turbine efficiency, a two-dimensional axial-type turbine blade shape is modified by the optimization process with two-dimensional compressible flow analysis codes, which are validated by the experimental results on the VKI turbine blade. A turbine blade profile is selected at the mean radius of turbine rotor using on a heavy duty gas turbine, and optimized at the operating condition. Shape parameters, which are employed to change the blade shape, are applied as design variables in the optimization process. Aerodynamic, mechanical and geometric constraints are imposed to ensure that the optimized profile meets all engineering restrict conditions. The objective function is the pitchwise area averaged total pressure at the 30% axial chord downstream from the trailing edge. 13 design variables are chosen for blade shape modification. A 10.8 % reduction of total pressure loss on the turbine rotor is achieved by this process, which is same as a more than 1% total-to-total efficiency increase. The computed results are compared with those using 11 design variables, and show that optimized results depend heavily on the accuracy of blade design.

In the present study, an electro-mechanical KAFO (knee-ankle-foot orthosis) which satisfies both the stability in stance and the knee flexion in swing was developed and evacuated in eight polio patients. A knee joint control algorithm suitable for polio patients who are lack of the stability in pre-swing was also developed and various control systems and circuits were also designed. In addition, knee flexion angles and knee moments were measured and analyzed for polio patients who used the developed KAFO with the three-dimensional motion analysis system. Energy consumption was also evaluated for the developed KAFO by measuring the movement of the COG (center of gravity) during gait. From the present study, the designed foot switch system successfully determined the gait cycle of polio patients and controlled knee joint of the KAFO, resulting in the passive knee flexion or foot clearance during swing phase. From the three-dimensional gait analysis for polio patients, it was found that the controlled-knee gait with the developed electro-mechanical KAFO showed the knee flexion of 40$^{\circ}$∼45$^{\circ}$ at an appropriate time during swing. Vertical movements of COG in controlled-knee gait (gait with the developed electro-mechanical KAFO) were significantly smaller than those in looked knee gait(gait with the locked knee Joint). and correspondingly controlled-knee gait reduced approximately 40% less energy consumption during horizontal walking gait. More efficient gait patterns could be obtained when various rehabilitation training and therapeutic programs as well as the developed electro-mechanical KAFO were applied for polio patients.

Recently, research for machining next-generation micro semiconductor processes and micro patterns has been actively conducted. In particular, it is applied to various industrial fields depending on the machining method in the case of FIB (Focused ion beam) milling. In this study, intends to deal with FIB milling machining technology for ultra-precision diamond tool fabrication technology. Ultra-precision diamond tools require nano-scale precision, and FIB milling is a useful method for nano-scale precision machining. However, FIB milling has a problem of Gaussian characteristics that are differently formed according to the beam current due to the input of an ion beam source, and there are process conditions to be considered, such as a side clearance angle problem of a diamond tool that is differently formed according to the tilting angle. A series of process steps for fabrication a ultra-precision diamond tool were studied and analyzed for each process. It was confirmed that the effect on the fabrication process was large depending on the spot size of the beam and the current of the beam as a result of the experimental analysis.

This paper presents a computational model of a gas foil journal bearing with shim foils between the top foil and bumps, and predicts its static and dynamic performance. The analysis takes the previously developed simple elastic foundation model for the top foil-bump structure and advances it by adding foil models for the "shim foil" and "outer top foil." The outer top foil is installed between the (inner) top foil and bumps, and the shim foil is installed between the inner top foil and outer top foil. Both the inner and outer top foils have an arc length of $360^{\circ}$, but the arc length of the shim foil is shorter, which causes a ramp near its leading edge in the bearing clearance profile. The Reynolds equation for isothermal and isoviscous ideal gas solves the hydrodynamic pressure that develops within the bearing clearance with preloads due to the ramp. The centerline pressure and film thickness predictions show that the shim foil mitigates the peak pressure occurring at the loading direction, and broadens the positive pressure as well as minimum film thickness zones except for the shortest shim foil arc length of $180^{\circ}$. In general, the shim foil decreases the journal eccentricity, and increases the power loss, direct stiffness, and damping coefficients. As the shim foil arc length increases, the journal eccentricity decreases while the attitude angle, minimum film thickness, and direct stiffness/damping coefficients in the horizontal direction increase.

이 논문에서는 유동식 가선을 지니는 집재시스템의 특성을 설치방법에 따른 구조해석의 측면에서 검토하고, 유동식 가선집재시스템중 가장 기본적인 형태에 속하는 live skyline의 cable 역학분석을 위한 전산모델을 개발하였다. 전산모델은 live skyline 작업을 지면으로부터의 가선의 높이를 항상 일정하게 유지하는 'true live skyline' 방식과 가선을 일정한 높이 이상으로 유지하는 'live skyline with lift' 방식의 두 가정에 기초하여 각각 만들어졌다. live skyline의 역학적 효율성과 작업특성을 제시할 목적으로 이 전산모델들을 가상적인 지형자료에 적용하여 사례분석을 실시하였다. 먼저 standing skyline의 허용반송량과의 비교에 의해 live skyline의 역학적 효율성을 분석하였고, 둘째 견인중인 벌도목의 기하학적 구조가 허용반송량에 미치는 영향을 분석하였으며, 마지막으로 'true live skyline'과 'live skyline with lift'의 개념상의 특성을 허용반송량 계산에 의한 사례분석에 의해 비교검토하였다.

To compensate for the motion errors in hydrostatic tables, a method to actively control the clearance of a bearing corresponding to the amount of error using actively controlled capillaries is introduced in this paper. The design method for an actively controlled capillary that considers the output rate of a piezo actuator and the amount of error that must be corrected is described. The basic characteristics of such a system were tested, such as the maximum controllable range of the error, micro-step response, and available dynamic bandwidth when the capillary was installed in a hydrostatic table. The tests demonstrated that the maximum controllable range was $2.4\;{\mu}m$, the resolution was 27 nm, and the frequency bandwidth was 5.5 Hz. Simultaneous compensation of the linear and angular motion errors using two actively controlled capillaries was also performed for a hydrostatic table driven by a ballscrew and a DC servomotor. An iterative compensation method was applied to improve the compensation characteristics. Experimental results showed that the linear and angular motion errors were improved to $0.12{\mu}m$ and 0.20 arcsec, which were about $1/15^{th}$ and $1/6^{th}$ of the initial motion errors, respectively. These results confirmed that the proposed compensation method improves the motion accuracy of hydrostatic tables very effectively.

An experimental analysis using three-dimensional Laser Doppler Velocimetry(LDV) measurement and computational analysis using the Reynolds stress model in FLUENT are conducted to give a clear understanding of the effect of blade loading on the structure of tip leakage flow in a forward-swept axial-flow fan operating at the maximum efficiency condition ($\Phi$=0.25) and two off-design conditions ($\Phi$=0.21 and 0.30). As the blade loading increases, the onset position of the rolling-up of tip leakage flow moves upstream and the trajectory of tip leakage vortex center is more inclined toward the circumferential direction. Because the casing boundary layer becomes thicker and the mixing between the through-flow and the leakage jet with the different flow direction is enforced, the streamwise vorticity decays more fast with the blade loading increasing. A distinct tip leakage vortex is observed downstream of the blade trailing edge at $\Phi$=0.30, but it is not observed at $\Phi$=0.21 and 0.25.

The flow characteristics of inertance pulse tube cryocooler(IPTC) was investigated with a computational thermal fluid dynamics for the reciprocating flow in IPTC including the piston movement of linear compressor. Two dimensional axisymmetric modeling was applied for the flow in an IPTC with a clearance between the piston and cylinder wall of linear compressor. The pressure, velocity, and temperature distribution were examined for the steady state. These were compared with previous results to confirm the validity in the modeling and computational results. The leakage between piston and cylinder wall affect the cooling capacity seriously. The dependence on mesh numbers were also examined to obtain a proper mesh numbers to improve the accuracy of calculation, which showed significant effect on the results. The user-defined function was used for the process of compression and expansion of piston.
