Aircraft wing structure is used as a fuel tank containing the fluid. Fuel tank and joint parts are consists of composite structure. Hydrodynamic Ram(HRAM) effect occurs when the high speed object pass through the aircraft wing or explosion and the high pressure are generated in the fuel tank by HRAM effect. High pressure can cause failure of the fuel tank and the joint parts as well as the aircraft wing structure. To ensure the aircraft survivability design, we shall examine the behavior of the joint parts in HRAM effect. In this study, static tensile tests were conducted on four kind of the composite T-Joints. The failure behavior of the composite T-joint was examined by strain gauges and high speed camera. We examine the validity of the Finite Element Modeling by comparing the results of FEA and static tensile tests. The failure stresses and failure pressure of the composite T-Joint were calculated by FEA.

Recently, we have frequently encountered flying drones with the growth of drone industry. However, it is difficult for a driver to stabilize the motor speed of drones, since the voltage of a Lithium polymer battery used in drones may suddenly drop or rise when its power is exhausted. The instability of the motor speed precludes the drone from maintaining a flight altitude, so that the fuselage of a drone performs ascending and descending repeatedly. For solving this problem, existing techniques either add a compensator considering voltage drop of battery or change the control model. Since these techniques use hardware-implemented modules or depend on motor type and experimental results, there is a problem that new suitable modules should be implemented in accordance with the used motor of the fuselage. For solving this problem, in this paper, we implement a motor speed controller in the firmware of drones by considering voltage drop of battery to enhance drone flight stability.

This study calculated wind speed at the height of 10 m using a disaster prediction model(Florida Public Hurricane Loss Model, FPHLM) that was developed and used in the United States. Using its distributions, a usable information of surface wind was produced for the purpose of disaster prevention when the typhoon attack. The advanced research version of the WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) was used in this study, and two domains focusing on South Korea were determined through two-way nesting. A horizontal time series and vertical profile analysis were carried out to examine whether the model provided a resonable simulation, and the meteorological factors, including potential temperature, generally showed the similar distribution with observational data. We determined through comparison of observations that data taken at 700 hPa and used as input data to calculate wind speed at the height of 10 m for the actual terrain was suitable for the simulation. Using these results, the wind speed at the height of 10 m for the actual terrain was calculated and its distributions were shown. Thus, a stronger wind occurred in coastal areas compared to inland areas showing that coastal areas are more vulnerable to strong winds.

Background: To evaluate the influences of Eye movement program applied to elderly people on static balance. Methods: The subjects consisted of fourteen elderly people. The subjects were divided into two group. The control group (n=7) received no exercise and/or stimulation. The Eye movement program training (E/P) group (n=7) performed balance training using word card and batom. E/P group were accomplished during 4weeks (5 day/week, 60 min/day). All tests were completed before and after experiment. The static balance ability was measured by normal standing when eye open and close on good balance system, respectively. For each case, the experimental data were obtained in 3 item; mean X speed, mean Y speed and velocity moment. Results: The result of this study were as follows: 1. In E/P group, the statistically significants were shown on only mean Y speed in the case of normal standing when eye open (p<.05), but the statistically significants were not shown on mean X, Y speed and velocity moment in the case of normal standing when eye close (p>.05). 2. In control group, the statistically significants were not shown on all posture (p>.05). 3. There was a statistically significant difference on the mean Y speed and velocity moment in the case of normal standing when eye open between control group and E/P group (p<.05). Conclusions: The above results revealed that balance training using Eye movement program were partly effective for improving the static balance ability.

This paper describes the development of a high-precision measuring device with DSP (digital signal processor) for the accurate measurement of the 6-axis force/moment sensor mounted to a humanoid robot's ankle. In order to walk on uneven terrain safely, the foot should perceive the applied forces Fx, Fy, and Fz and moments Mx, My, and Mz to itself, and control the foot using the measured them. The applied forces and moments should be measured from two 6-axis force/moment sensors mounted to the feet, and the sensor is composed of Fx sensor, Fy sensor, Fz sensor, Mx sensor, My sensor and Mz sensor in a body (single block). In order to acquire output values from twelve sensors (two 6-axis force/moment sensor) accurately, the measuring device should get the function of high speed, and should be small in size. The commercialized measuring devices have the function of high speed, unfortunately, they are large in size and heavy in weight. In this paper, the high-precision measuring device for acquiring the output values from two 6-axis force/moment sensors was developed. It is composed of a DSP (150 MHz), a RAM (random access memory), amplifiers, capacities, resisters and so on. And the characteristic test was carried out.

The demand for the eco-friendly vehicles is skyrocketing because of the increasing $CO_2$ emissions and global warming. In the industrial field, the battery process, a core part of an eco-friendly vehicle, is drawing increased attention; its weight lightening as well as high energy density are becoming increasingly important. In this study, pure Ni plates that were used as the battery pole plate were welded using the laser. The lab joint welding was conducted on ten pure Ni plates at a laser power of 1900 W and a feed speed of 2.8-3.4 m/min. As observed in the experiment, a faster feed speed reduced the bead width, but the laser did not penetrate all ten specimen plates. In addition, pores were trapped when protective gas was used, but they were not trapped when the welding was conducted in atmospheric condition.

In this study, we designed an ARM9 compatible RISC microprocessor using VHDL. The microprocessor was designed to support Harvard architecture with separate instruction cache and data cache. The state machine was optimized for multi-cycle instructions. In addition, a data forwarding mechanism was adopted to reduce the stall cycles due to data hazards. Assembly programs were up-loaded into a ROM block for system-level simulation. Proper operation of the designed microprocessor was confirmed by investigating the contents of the internal registers as well as the RAM block. Futhermore, the simulation results clearly indicated that the operation speed of the processor designed in this study is enhanced by reducing the execution cycles required for multiplication related instructions.

데스크탑 및 이동형 컴퓨터의 저장 장치를 지원하는 플래시 메모리는 비휘발성, 낮은 전력소모, 빠른 데이터 접근 속도 등의 장점이 있다. 하지만, 일반 RAM 메모리에 비하여 상대적으로 느린 연산 특성을 고려하여 기존의 전통적인 인덱스 관리 기법을 개선할 필요가 있다. 이를 위하여, 본 논문은 CHC-Tree 라고 하는 압축된 핫-콜드 클러스터링에 기반하는 새로운 인덱스 관리 기법을 제안한다. CHC-Tree는 인덱스 노드를 핫-콜드 세그먼트로 분류하며, 인덱스 노드의 키와 포인터를 압축한다. 또한, 실험 결과를 통하여 기존의 B-Tree 기반의 인덱스 관리 기법보다 인덱스 검색 및 인덱스 수정 연산에서 더 우수함을 확인하였다.
