Eddy currents are generated when a moving conductor is exposed to a stationary magnetic field, or vice-versa. These currents create their own magnetic field, causing a repulsive force between the magnetic material and the conductor. Using this concept, a magnetic brake system can be established by the permanent magnets and a conductive material. In this paper, the eddy current effects on a magnetic brake system which consists of 2 pairs of magnets and a conductor are investigated by using a electromagnetic software, and the results of simulations are compared with experiments. It can be concluded how the arrangement of magnets effects on the dynamic characteristics of the eddy current brake system.

This paper presents a new robot motion planning method for moving obstacle avoidance. To consider the mobility of a moving obstacle, we define virtual distance function(VDF) between the robot and the obstacle. At each sampling time, we use the VDF to construct an artificial potential, considering the motion of obstacles. The robot moves according to the repulsive and attractive force vector induced by the artificial potential function. The proposed algorithm can be driven the robot to avoid moving obstacles in real time. Some simulation studies show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

We have performed replica-exchange molecular dynamics (REMD) simulations on the dimer formation of fibrilforming segments of $\alpha$-Synuclein (residues 71 - 82) using implicit solvation models with two kinds of force fields- AMBER parm99SB and parm96. We observed spontaneous formation of dimers from the extensive simulations, demonstrating the self-aggregating and fibril forming properties of the peptides. Secondary structure profile and clustering analysis showed that dimers with antiparallel $\beta$-sheet conformations, stabilized by well-defined hydrogen boding, are major species corresponding to global free energy minimum. Parallel dimers with partial $\beta$-sheets are found to be off-pathway intermediates. The relative instability of the parallel arrangements is due to the repulsive interactions between bulky and polar side chains as well as weaker backbone hydrogen bonds.

The magnetic levitation system has many advantages, such as little friction, no lubrication, no noise and so on. For this reason, the magnetic levitation system is utilized in the magnetic bearing of high-speed rotor. The method to obtain magnetic force is both the repulsive suspension method and the attraction suspension method need a stabilizing controller because it is a unstable system in natural. This paper presents the design of robust stabilizing servo controller in spite of being the model uncertainties in the magnetic levitation system by $\textit{H}_{\infty}$ control theory using the free parameter. And we investigated the validity of a designed controller through results of the simulation and the actual experiment.

Suspension effect has been studied by using superconductor of BiPbSrCaCuO ceramics containing $Ag_2O$. It has been cleared that $Ag_2O$ acts as pinning center which plays an important role to the suspension effect. Magnetic repulsive force which affects a superconductor located in magnetic flux from toroidal magnet has been investigated. It has been concluded that the suspension effect arises from the interaction between the pinning effect and the diamagnetic effect.

Dynamic force microscopy utilizes the dynamic response of a resonating probe tip as it approaches and retracts from a sample to measure the topography and material properties of a nanostructure. We present recent ideas based on proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) and detailed experiments that yield new perspectives and insight into AFM. A dynamic cantilever model with Lennrad-Jones interaction Potential which includes attractive and repulsive van der Waals demonstrates the resonable tapping mode response in time and frequency.

Laminated glass fiber-reinforced plastic (GFRP) composites were applied to an insulating structure of a magnet system for a nuclear fusion device. Decreased inter-laminar strength by a strong repulsive force between coils which is induced a problem of structural integrity in laminated GFRPs. Therefore, it is important to investigate the inter-laminar characteristics of laminated GFRP composites in order to assure more reliable design and better structural integrity. Three types of the laminated GFRP composites using a high voltage insulating materials were fabricated according to each molding process. To evaluate the grade of the fabricated composites, mechanical tests, such as hardness, tensile and compressive tests,were carried out. The autoclave molding composites satisfied almost of the mechanical properties reguested at the G10 class standard, but the vacuum impregnation (VPI) and Prepreg composites did not.

In order to accumulate fundamental. data for control of fishes’ behavior at the real fishing ground, the fitness of the numerical model for describing the behavior of fishes was examined by the marine fish. Mullet, Mugil cephalus were used as experimental fishes. The numerical model of fishes’ behavior presented in our earlier paper was modified on the vertical movement of fish school. For the comparision of parameters of the modified numerical model between mullet and rainbow trout, the estimated values of parameters were identified with dimension. The fitness of the modified numerical model was examined by the comparision between experiment and simulation on the several indexes represented by fishes’ swimming characteristics. The obtained result are summarized a follows : 1. The non-dimensional parameter a’ of propulsive force and kb’ of interactive force by the experiment without model net showed a similarity, but the non-dimensional parameter k sub(c’) of schooling force for rainbow trout was lager than one for mullet and the non-dimensional parameter k sub(w’) of repulsive force for mullet was lager than one for rainbow trout. 2. The non-dimensional parameter a’ and k sub(b’) for rainbow trout by the experiment with model net were a little lager than ones for mullet, but non-dimensional parameter k sub(c’) and k sub(w’) for mullet were lager than ones for rainbow trout. 3. The non-dimensional parameter k sub(c’) and k sub(b’) showed the largest and the smallest value among the non-dimensional parameters for rainbow trout and mullet, respectively. 4. The fitness of the modified numerical model was confirmed by means of the compulsion between experiment and simulation on the swimming trajectory of fishes, the mean distance of individual from wall, the mean swimming speed, the mean swimming depth and the mean distance between the nearest individuals. Especially, the similarity of mean swimming depth was improved by using the modified numerical model.
