  • This research aims to study the needs of the trail runners as trail running has become a popular outdoor activity, and give suggestions for high functional outdoor menswear design that can satisfy the needs of the highly demanding taste of runners. The design development is as follows: 1) The design had to be made of lightweight material and be easily packable in all situations, and 2) we also considered the ergonomic and compact fit for activity, 3) the functional location of high functional fabric, 4) the reflective use and layering system giving a wide range of outdoor workout time and 5) the trend in 2016 S/S active sports and outdoor wear. Based on the above elements, the men's outdoor wear design has been developed for trail running in spring and summer. The design development includes a total of 7 items. The design focused on lightweight, availability of packaging, "comfortability" and freshness in activity, functional suitability of location of highly functional materials and the layering system to protect body temperature under the changing environment. In particular, the layering system was implemented to provide ventilation, and it was done in body parts that released the most body heat. Therefore, mesh materials were actively used on the side panel, sleeves and center of the back piece for necessary sweat emission without any problems and ventilation for trail running.

  • Generally, arterial pulse waves are measured at the radial arterial of wrist or carotid arterial of neck using a sensor such as pressure sensor, piezoelectric sensor or optic sensor. But in this paper, arterial pulse wave is measured at the temple using PZT piezo sensor which is attached on the temple in form of a hair-band. Arterial Pulse waves are generally measured when a reagent is in a static state. But in this paper, we implemented the arterial pulse wave measurement system, as a previous stage of the arterial pulse wave measurement system for running at outdoors or on a running machine, that measures arterial pulse waves at the temple, which is the least moving part when running. Thorough the continuous study, if the motion artifact when running is possible to be removed, the system will be able to perform monitoring of running men's states and especially emergency signals such as serious pulse waves of an/old and feeble persons and handicapped persons.

  • The BWIM(Bridge Weigh-In-Motion) is a technology to identify vehicle properties, such as weight, speed, axle spacing and running lane, passing over a bridge by using dynamic response of bridge member. Such information will be used for assessing durability and establishing a maintenance strategy of roadway structures. In this paper, as a first step for developing BWIM system, analytical and experimental studies were conducted in order to verify whether the response of vertical stiffener in steel girder bridge can be used to identify vehicle properties running on the bridge. It was known from this study that such vehicle information could be estimated reasonably by using strain time history curve of a vertical stiffener due to running vehicles. It is because the effect of each axle-load of vehicle appears definitely in the curve. However, as the magnitude of strain of vertical stiffener is effected by running pattern of vehicles, further study is necessary to reduce error when estimating vehicle weight.

  • 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).

  • Prediction of the running posture is important to evaluate the resistance by the numerical calculation for a high speed vessel. Especially for a planing craft having a large variation of running attitude it becomes more essential, but it can not be obtained easily because the running posture and the hydrodynamic forces including the resistance are interacted with each other. So iterative calculation to obtain the dynamic forces according to the changes in attitude is necessary, in this study, considering the calculated hydrodynamic force at the assumed draft as the additional buoyancy the corrected draft is calculated through satisfying the equilibrium between the buoyancy and the hull weight. To verify the derived method three kinds of hull forms were used with the results of model tests, R/V ATHENA and 150 tons class guide vessel for middle-speed semi-planing crafts, 28 feet fast boat for a high-speed planing boat. For all cases with several iterations the converged value of draft can be obtained, lastly the resistance and flow around hull were simulated by using VOF method.

  • Primary function of a transition curve is to accomplish gradual transition from the straight to circular curve, so that curvature changes from zero to a finite value. The transition curve enhances the running safety and ride comfort of the vehicle in curve. There are a couple of transition curve such as clothoid, cubic parabola and cosinusoidal curve, etc. In this study, running behaviors of cubic parabola and cosinusoidal curve were investigated and compared by numerical analysis result using VAMPIRE program. Ride comforts for an individual transition curve were evaluated for each transition curve and running behavior and safety were also evaluated to compare the capacity of transition curves.

  • Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between leg stiffness and kinematic variables according to load while running. Method: Participants included eight healthy men (mean age, $22.75{\pm}1.16years$; mean height: $1.73{\pm}0.01m$; mean body weight, $71.37{\pm}5.50kg$) who ran with no load or a backpack loaded with 14.08% or 28.17% of their body weight. The analyzed variables included leg stiffness, ground contact time, center of gravity (COG) displacement and Y-axis velocity, lower-extremity joint angle (hip, knee, ankle), peak vertical force (PVF), and change in stance phase leg length. Results: Dimensionless leg stiffness increased significantly with increasing load during running, which was the result of increased PVF and contact time due to decreased leg lengths and COG displacement and velocity. Leg length and leg stiffness showed a negative correlation (r = -.902, $R^2=0.814$). COG velocity showed a similar correlation with COG displacement (r = .408, $R^2=.166$) and contact time (r = -.455, $R^2=.207$). Conclusion: Dimensionless leg stiffness increased during running with a load. In this investigation, leg stiffness due to load increased was most closely related to the PVF, knee joint angle, and change in stance phase leg length. However, leg stiffness was unaffected by change in contact time, COG velocity, and COG displacement.
