In this study, to prevent the nonhomogeneity of fiber orientation during the molding of GFRP composites, GFRP prepreg was fabricated using roving fiber and polypropylene resin. Analyses on the degree of impregnation, tensile strength, and microstructure were conducted on the fabricated prepregs. A lower pulling speed, higher resin temperature, and longer die length showed a greater degree of impregnation of the prepreg. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) micrograph showed, a homogeneous fiber orientation. As a result, fundamental techniques for improved productivity were suggested for the manufacturing field.

본 논문은 산업현장의 불균등한 조명 조건에서 정확한 카메라 교정을 수행할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 비접촉 계측을 위한 카메라 교정법은 패턴에서 교정점들을 정확하게 추출할 수 있어야 하며, 평면 패턴을 사용하는 교정 방법은 최소 7개의 교정점을 알아야 한다. 그러나 비접촉 치수 계측기가 설치된 산업현장에서 카메라 교정에 알맞은 조명을 기대하기 힘들다. 본 논문에서는 최적조명제어가 어려운 산업현장에서 치수계측을 위한 카메라 교정을 효과적으로 수행할 수 있는 반자동 카메라 교정방법을 제안한다. 교정패턴상의 최소 4점을 사용자가 지정함에 의해, 조명제어의 어려움으로 인해 교정점 추출이 실패한 교정패턴의 불완전 교정점을 사용하여 이상적인 조명상태에서의 교정점 정보를 예측하고, 이 정보로부터 다시 정확한 교정인자들을 반복적으로 추출하는 방법을 적용한다. 제시된 방법은 렌즈의 투사왜곡에 의한 교정패턴에서도 성공적으로 적용될 수 있음을 실험을 통해 확인하였다.

Due to the rugged terrain, metro lines in mountain city across numerous wide rivers and deep valleys, resulting in instability of high-pier bridge and insecurity of metro train subjected to fluctuating crosswind. To ensure the safe operation in metro lines in mountain cities, running safety of the metro train over the high-pier bridge under crosswind is analyzed in this paper. Firstly, the dynamic model of the wind-train-bridge (WTB) system is built, in which the speed-up effect of crosswind is fully considered. On the basis of time domain analysis, the basic characteristics of the WTB system with high-pier are analyzed. Afterwards, the dynamic responses varies with train speed and wind speed are calculated, and the safety zone of metro train over a high-pier bridge subjected to fluctuating crosswind in mountain city is determined. The results indicate that, fluctuating crosswind triggers drastic vibration to the metro train and high-pier bridges, which in turn causes running instability of the train. For this reason, the corresponding safety zone for metro train running on the high-pier is proposed, and the metro traffic on the high-pier bridge should be closed as the mean wind speed of standard height reaches 9 m/s (15.6 m/s for the train).

An on-line real time grading and sorting system for dried oak mushrooms was developed for on-site application. Quality grades of the mushrooms were determined according to an industrial specification. Three dimensional visual quality features were used for the grading. A progressive color computer vision system with white LED illumination was implemented to develop an algorithm to extract external quality patterns of the dried oak mushrooms. Cap (top) and gil (stem) surface images were acquired sequentially and side image was obtained using mirror. Algorithms for extracting size, roundness, pattern and color of the cap, thickness, color of the gil and amount of rolled edge of the dried mushroom were developed. Utilizing those quality factors normal and abnormal ones were classified and normal mushrooms were further classified into 30 different grades. The sorting device was developed using microprocessor controlled electro-pneumatic system with stainless buckets. Grading accuracy was around 97% and processing time was 0.4 s in average.

This paper presents the development of a 3D printed humanoid robotic hands of SignBot, which can perform Malaysian Sign Language (MSL). The study is considered as the first attempt to ease the means of communication between the general community and the hearing-impaired individuals in Malaysia. The signed motions performed by the developed robot in this work can be done by two hands. The designed system, unlike previously conducted work, includes a speech recognition system that can feasibly integrate with the controlling platform of the robot. Furthermore, the design of the system takes into account the grammar of the MSL which differs from that of Malay spoken language. This reduces the redundancy and makes the design more efficient and effective. The robot hands are built with detailed finger joints. Micro servo motors, controlled by Arduino Mega, are also loaded to actuate the relevant joints of selected alphabetical and numerical signs as well as phrases for emergency contexts from MSL. A database for the selected signs is developed wherein the sequential movements of the servo motor arrays are stored. The results showed that the system performed well as the selected signs can be understood by hearing-impaired individuals.

Dynamic Positioning (DP) is a system that uses computer-controlled thrusters, propellers, and other propulsion devices to automatically maintain a vessel's position and heading. In this study, a wind turbine installation vessel with DP capabilities was proposed for use in mild environmental conditions in the Yellow Sea. The thruster arrangements of the vessel were analyzed in relation to wind and current loads, and it was found that a four-corner arrangement of thrusters provided the best position-keeping performance. The vessel's DP control performance was also analyzed in relation to the increased environmental load caused by the presence of a wind turbine, using a capability plot. The vessel's performance was evaluated in three different states: floating with no load, during the loading of a wind turbine and suction buckets, and after the wind turbine has been installed. The use of 750 kW and 1,000 kW thrusters was also considered, and the environmental loads in the Saemangeum coastal area and the environmental load when a 5-Megawatt wind turbine is on board were assessed. The study concluded that at least four thrusters should be used for DP to safely manage the installation process of wind turbines.

This paper presents kinematic calibration of parallel manipulators with partial pose measurements using a device that measures a rotation of the end-effector along with its position. The device contains an LVDT, a biaxial inclinometer, and a rotary sensor and facilitates automation of the measurement procedure. The device is designed in a modular fashion and links of different lengths can be used. The additional kinematic parameters required for the measurement device are discussed, kinematic relations are derived, and cost function is established to perform calibration with the proposed device. The study is performed for a six degree-of-freedom(DOF) fully parallel HexaSlide Mechanism(HSM). Experimental results show significant improvement in the accuracy of the HSM.

본 논문에서는 높은 풍량을 갖는 임펠러 형상 최적 설계를 위하여, 블레이드 형상이 임펠러의 성능에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 먼저 임펠러 성능에 큰 영향을 미칠 것이라 판단되는 블레이드 개수, 각도, 길이를 설계변수로 선정하고, 실험계획법에 의거하여 정한 설계 수준에 따라 각기 다른 27가지 임펠러 형상을 설계하였다. 그리고 블레이드 형상 변화에 따른 임펠러 성능변화를 예측하기 위해 ANSYS CFX로 유동해석을 진행하였다. CFD 결과, 블레이드 개수 50개, 각도 $6^{\circ}$, 길이 5 mm 조합의 임펠러 형상에서 가장 높은 풍량이 발생되었다. 마지막으로 해석 결과를 바탕으로 3D프린터를 이용하여 기존 임펠러 형상과 시험군 임펠러 형상을 제작하였고, 블로워의 토출구에서의 유량을 측정하여 CFD 결과와 비교하는 검증 실험을 진행하였다.

In this paper, experimental studies of force tracking control for the crack sealing robot are presented. Crack sealing robot is built to detect, track and seal the crack on the pavement. Before sealing, crack must be detected by a laser sensor and a camera sensor, then cleaned for a better sealing job. In order to maintain contact with the ground force control is required to brush all dirt in the crack out for preparing sealing cracks with tars. Impedance control algorithm is presented to regulate a specified desired force. Experimental studies of the proposed force control algorithm are conducted under unknown environment stiffness and location. Performances of force control algorithm are stable and excellent.
