Background: Gait analysis is an important measurement for health professionals to assess gait patterns related to functional limitations due to neurological or orthopedic conditions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the reliability of the newly developed portable gait analysis system (PGAS). Design: Cross-sectional design. Test-retest study. Methods: The PGAS study was based on a wearable sensor, and measurement of gait kinematic parameters, such as gait velocity, cadence, step length and stride length, and joint angle (hip, knee, and ankle) in stance and swing phases. The results were compared with a motion capture system (MCS). Twenty healthy individuals were applied to the MCS and PGAS simultaneously during gait performance. Results: The test-retest reliability of the PGAS showed good repeatability in gait parameters with mean intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) ranging from 0.840 to 0.992, and joint angles in stance and swing phase from 0.907 to 0.988. The acceptable test-retest ICC was observed for the gait parameters (0.809 to 0.961), and joint angles (0.800 to 0.977). Conclusion: The results of this study indicated that the developed PGAS showed good grades of repeatability for gait kinematic data along with acceptable ICCs compared with the results from the MCS. The gait kinematic parameters in healthy subjects can be used as standard values for adopting this PGAS.

대류권 오존은 전 세계적으로 인간과 생태계에 막대한 피해를 입히는 오염 물질이다. 국지적인 오존 문제는 발생 지역에서 바람에 의해 풍하 측으로 이동함에 따라 지역적, 전 지구적 문제가 되고 있다. 보다 효율적인 오존 모니터링을 위해서 연속적인 일중 관측이 가능한 정지궤도 위성을 이용하려는 시도가 있어왔다. 이 연구에서는 정지궤도 위성에서 관측될 대류권 오존의 연속적인 관측을 이용하여 대류권 오존 이동벡터(Tropospheric Ozone Movement Vector, TOMV) 산출을 세계 최초로 시도했다. 현재 정지궤도 위성을 이용한 대류권오존 산출물이 존재하지 않기 때문에 대기화학모델인 GEOS-Chem에서 산출된 대류권 오존 자료를 이용하였다. 산출된 오존의 이동 속도는 화학모델에 비해 높은 값이 나왔지만 오염의 이동의 방향은 매우 높은 일치성을 보여주었다. 제시된 알고리즘을 이용하면 오존의 유입 플럭스를 오존의 움직이는 속도와 방향을 이용하여 산출할 수도 있다. 이와 같은 결과는 오염물질의 이동분석에 널리 사용되는 역방향 궤적 방법의 대안으로써 오염물질의 모니터링과 예보에 보다 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 이와 반대로 오존분포의 경계선이 불분명하면 TOMV 산출에 오차를 발생시킬 수 있기 때문에 이동에 대한 잘못된 정보를 줄 수 있는 것이 이 방법의 한계이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 TOMV 방법은 앞으로 활동하게 될 정지궤도 위성을 이용한 오염 모니터링과 예보에 진일보한 방향을 제시해줄 수 있을 것이다.

To achieve synchronized motion between a wearable robot and a human user, the redundancy must be resolved in the same manner by both systems. According to the seven DOF (Degrees of Freedom) human arm model composed of the shoulder, elbow, and wrist joints, positioning and orientating the wrist in space is a task requiring only six DOFs. Due to this redundancy, a given task can be completed by multiple arm configurations, and thus there exists no unique mathematical solution to the inverse kinematics. This paper presents analysis on the kinematic and dynamic aspect of the human arm movement and their effect on the redundancy resolution of the human arm based on a seven DOF manipulator model. The redundancy of the arm is expressed mathematically by defining the swivel angle. The final form of swivel angle can be represented as a linear combination of two different swivel angles achieved by optimizing different cost functions based on kinematic and dynamic criteria. The kinematic criterion is to maximize the projection of the longest principal axis of the manipulability ellipsoid for the human arm on the vector connecting the wrist and the virtual target on the head region. The dynamic criterion is to minimize the mechanical work done in the joint space for each two consecutive points along the task space trajectory. As a first step, the redundancy based on the kinematic criterion will be thoroughly studied based on the motion capture data analysis. Experimental results indicate that by using the proposed redundancy resolution criterion in the kinematic level, error between the predicted and the actual swivel angle acquired from the motor control system is less than five degrees.

본 연구는 플라잉디스크의 포핸드와 백핸드 던지기 동작에 대한 정량적 기초자료를 제공하기 위해 수행하였으며 이를 위해 3차원 동작분석 기법을 활용하여 운동학적 변인을 산출하였다. 연구 변인을 종합하여 분석한 결과 플라잉디스크는 멀리 던지는 것뿐만 아니라 정확하게 던지는 것이 중요하므로 P2와 P3에서는 전방으로의 이동을 제어하고 관절의 회전 운동에 집중해야하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 효율적인 회전 운동을 위해 골반에서 몸통으로 회전력 전이가 중요한 것으로 판단된다. 포핸드는 상지 관절의 움직임을 주로 활용하여 던지기 동작을 수행하는 반면 백핸드 던지기는 비교적 몸통 및 골반의 회전을 주로 활용하여 던지는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 정량적 자료를 바탕으로 플라잉디스크 현장 교육을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있기를 기대한다.

Flow through turbomachinery has a very complex structure and Is Intrinsically unsteady. In addition, trend to highly loaded turbomachinery makes the flow extremely complex due to the interaction between rotor and stator. In this study, flows through UTRC LSRR turbine are numerically analyzed using 2 dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. The convective terms of the governing equations are discretized using the Van-Leer's FVS(Flux vector splitting) with an upwind TVD scheme. The conventional central differencing is used to discretize the diffusion terms on the finite volume. The accurate unsteady motion is achieved by using a 2nd order accurate, 3-point Euler implicit scheme. The quasi-conservative zonal scheme is used for calculating the flow variables on the zonal interface between the rotor and stator. The axial gap between stator and rotor has been configured in two variations, 15% and 65% of average chord length. The analysis program is validated using experimental results and the effect of axial gap is examined. The numerical analysis results are presented by time averaged pressure coefficient and pressure magnitude coefficient and compared with experimental results.

In this paper, we present the complete isotropy analysis of a caster wheeled omnidirectional mobile robot (COMR) with nonredundant/redundant actuation. It is desirable for robust motion control to keep a COMR close to the isotropy but away from the singularity as much as possible. First, with the characteristic length introduced, the kinematic model of a COMR is obtained based on the orthogonal decomposition of the wheel velocities. Second, a general form of the isotropy conditions of a COMR is given in terms of physically meaningful vector quantities which specify the wheel configuration. Third, for all possible nonredundant and redundant actuation sets, the algebraic expressions of the isotropy conditions are derived so as to identify the isotropic configurations of a COMR. Fourth, the number of the isotropic configurations, the isotropic characteristic length, and the optimal initial configuration are discussed.

In this paper, a fuel minimizing closed loop explicit inertial guidance algorithm for the orbit injection of a rocket is developed. In this formulation, the fuel burning rate and magnitude of thrust are assumed constant, and the motion of a rocket is assumed to be subject to the average inverse-square gravity, but with negligible atmospheric effects. The optimum thrust angle for obtaining the given velocity vector in the shortest time with minimizing fuel consumption is first determined, and then the additive thrust angle for targeting the final position vectors is determined by using Pontryagin's Maximum Principle. To establish the real time processing, many algorithms of the onboard guidance software are simplified. Simulations for the explicit guidance algorithm, for the 2nd-stage flight of the N-1 rocket, are carried out. The results show that the guidance algorithm works well in the presence of the maximum .+-.10 % initial velocity and altitude error. The effects of the guidance cycle time is also examined.

A Nordsick form opf the multirate integration scheme has been proposed for flexible multibody dynamic systems. It is assumed that vibrational modal coordinates in the equations of motion are treated as fast variables, whereas the relative joint coordinates are treated as slow variables. In the multirate integration, the fast variables are integrated with small step-size, and the slow variables are integrated with larger step-size. The proposed multirate integration method is based on the Adams-Bashforth-Moulton predictor-corrector method and implemented in the Nordsieck vector form. The Nordsieck form of multrate integration method provides effective step-size control and at the same time, inherits the efficiency from the Adams integration method. Simulations of a flexible gun and turret system of the military tank have been carried out to show the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method.

Compared with linear induction principle, the transverse flux circumferential induction principle is suggested as a driving mechanism of the revolving stage, which can rotate contactlessly without any supporting structure. The stage realizes the integrated motion of levitation, rotation, and planar perturbation, using the two-axis forces, normally directed force of the air-gap and tangential force, of the induction drivers mounted on the stator uniformly. In this paper, the force generating mechanism of the stage is described in detail. First, the various core shapes generating the transverse flux are analyzed to guarantee the proper thrust force. And the vector force intensity of the circumferential induction driver constituting the stage is compared with that of the linear induction driver. Especially it is shown that the magnetic force of the suggested system can be modeled with the linear equivalent model, including the test verification.
