The planocentric gear, known as wobble mechanism, has been used for speed reducing mechanism as an ingenious mechanism. The modem application can be found in the backrest adjusting mechanism of a vehicle reclinable seat, fluid pumps and aircraft hoist and winches. Higher speed reduction ratios, high load capacity, lower weight, and compactness are the main advantages of this gear. This paper presents velocity and static force analysis to investigate the friction lock of the planocentric gear. The rectilinear tooth profile is used to maximize the speed reduction ratio. The equivalent linkage system is used for the analysis of instantaneous motion. As the results, the transmission efficiency of the planocentric gear is found and the friction lock of the system is determined for the friction coefficients of journals. A numerical example that illustrates the developed analysis is presented.

Revenue management problems originated in the 1970's in the context of the airline industry have been successfully introduced in airline industries. It has started on the capacity control by booking classes for available seats, and has been recognized as a powerful tool to maximize the total revenue. Changing customer behavior and airline market environments, however, has required a new mechanism for improving the revenue. Dynamic pricing is one of innovative tools which is to adjust prices according to the market status. In this paper, we consider a dynamic pricing and seat control problem for discrete time horizon. The problem can be modeled as a stochastic programming problem. Applying the linear approximation technique and given the price set for each time, we suggest a mixed Integer Programming model to solve our problem efficiently. From the simulation results, we can find our model makes good performance and can be expanded to other comprehensive problems.

This paper presents the analytical studies on the stress and strain of driven valve system of internal combustion engines. The stress and strain is predict using FEM. The particular interest is the dynamic strain at a specific point of the valve and valve seat. Cam and follower Assuming that one rigid surface. This study forced the effects changing Young's modulus and density of valve and valve seat contact area. It supports that the indirect method using FEM is reliable for prediction the actual displacement, stress and strain in the valve system.

This paper presents the analysis, the fabrication and the test results of a micro passive gas pressure regulator to keep the outlet pressure costant even for a widely-varying inlet pressure. This device is to regulate the outlet pressure according to the applied reference pressure based on the pressure balancing mechanism of the structure including a membrane and a valve. This regulator consists of four layers; a bulk-micromachined silicon substrate, a sandblasted glass substrate, a PDMS valve seat layer and a glass valve layer. The device size is $10\times13\times1.7 mm3$. The device was fabricated by micromachining. The characteristic of the device was analyzed and tested. The characteristic of the fabricated pressure regulator is similar to that obtained from the analysis. The pressure regulator of this paper is feasible for portable systems and miniature drug delivery systems.

Purpose: Clarify the cause of the noise by the front wheel strut insulator, which is located in close proximity to the driver's seat. Methods: The improvement mechanism was confirmed through failure analysis and reproduction test of the joint generation mechanism. In addition, the main factors were analyzed through principal test. Results: This paper describes the mechanism of occurrence of noise due to deterioration and hardness increase of rubber, deformation on severe road surface, foreign matter and water inflow in cold weather. Conclusion: We found that the insulator and body deformation can be minimized without increasing the thickness of the body and the insulator and reinforcing the body by dispersing the input load by applying load distribution structure instead of the local forming structure of the insulator in the insulator robust structure.

본 연구는 전복에서 사고의 특성과 운전자의 행동특성을 분석하기 위한 연구이다. 연구기간은 2011년 1월에서 2014년 5월까지이며 연구대상은 전복사고로 응급의료센터에 내원한 운전자 102명이었다. 연구도구는 교통안전공단 인체상해 데이터를 이용하였으며 여기에는 자동차의 손상정도와 환자의 데이터를 수집하여 정리된 내용으로 차량의 기본정보와 환자정보, 손상의 역학적 원인과 사진 상의 손상정보, 환자의 임상적 손상정보를 모두 포함하고 있다. 자료분석은 SPSS 18.0을 이용하여 기술통계, ANOVA, Chi-square test 분석을 시행하였다. 분석 결과 차량종류에 따른 손상정도계수(Injury Severity Score) 평균 점수는 작은 차량에서 6.00점, 높은 차량에서 11.78점, 그 외 차량에서 14.70점을 보였고 세 집단 간 유의한 차이는 보이지 않았다(P=.267). 안전벨트 착용 여부에서 남자가 여자에 비해 안전벨트를 유의하게 착용하지 않는 것을 볼 수 있었으며 (P=.007), 차량 종류나 날씨 등이 안전벨트 착용 여부와 상관관계를 보이지는 않았다(P=.755, P=.793). 하지만 차량의 크기가 작을수록 운전자들이 안전벨트를 차용하지 않는 경향을 보였고, 날씨가 맑은 날 오히려 안전벨트를 좀 더 착용하는 경향을 볼 수 있었다. 마지막으로 전복 사고에서도 다른 사고 유형에서와 마찬가지로 안전벨트 착용 여부가 손상에 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

하반신 마비환자가 스키를 탈 수 있도록 고안된 모노스키는 스키 플레이트 위에 좌석이 설치된 형태의 썰매이다. 스키를 탈 때 설면으로부터 전달되는 충격은 정상인의 경우 다리관절의 거동에 의하여 흡수되지만 모노스키의 경우에는 좌석에 탑승한 인체에 그대로 전달된다. 상용화된 대부분의 모노스키에는 이를 보완하기 위하여 스키 마운트와 시트 간에 링크 메커니즘과 충격완충장치가 설치되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 유압 실린더가 장착된 모노스키의 주행 시뮬레이션을 수행하고 불규칙한 표면 주행 중 발생하는 진동 충격 가속도를 분석하여 탑승자의 안락감을 평가할 수 있는 모델을 개발하였다. 안락감 평가방법은 국제 규격인 BS6841 을 사용하였다. 개발 모델을 이용하여 유압 완충장치의 노즐조절에 따른 안락감을 평가하였다.

본 본문에서는 LPG 용기용 밸브의 개폐과정에서 발생하는 밸브패킹과 밸브시트의 상대접촉 마찰작용에 따른 밀봉성에 대한 FEM 해석결과를 제시하고 있다. 개폐용 밸브의 밀봉작용은 나일론-66으로 제조한 디스크 형상의 밸브패킹이 원형 파이프의 밸브시트 단면을 막아 LP 가스의 외부 송출을 차단하면서 완료된다. 밸브패킹은 밸브시트에 대하여 평면으로 접촉밀봉을 하는 경우와 원형홈의 둥근접촉 형상에 대한 밀봉 압착력을 확보하는 두 가지가 있다. FEM 해석 및 실험적 연구결과에 의하면, 밸브패킹을 사용하기 이전의 평면접촉 밀봉 작용력은 4.9 MPa로 높지만, 밸브를 사용한 이후의 원형홈 접촉 밀봉력은 4.4 MPa로 약간 낮게 나타났다. 그러나 이들 최대응력은 나일론 소재의 항복응력 83 MPa에 비하여 대단히 낮은 값이기 때문에 현재의 개폐밸브용 패킹은 과도하게 설계되었다 할 수 있다.

This paper presents the development of a robotic system for rehabilitation of the trunk's ability to maintain postural control under different balance conditions. The system, developed with extensive input from rehabilitation and biomedical engineering experts, consists of a seat mounted on a robotic mechanism capable of moving it with four degrees of freedom (3 rotational and 1 translational). The seat surface has built in instrumentation to gauge the movements of the user's center of pressure (COP) and it can be moved either to track the movements of the COP or according to operator given commands. The system allows two types of leg support. A ground mounted footrest allows participation of legs in postural control while a seat connected footrest constrains the leg movement and limits their involvement in postural control. The design evolution over several prototypes is presented and computer aided structural analysis is used to determine the feasibility of the designed components. The system is pilot tested by a stroke patient and is determined to have potential for use as a trunk rehabilitation tool. Future works involve more detailed studies to evaluate the effects of using this system and to determine its efficacy as a rehabilitation tool.

Wear of engine valves and seat inserts is a major factor affecting engine performance. In order to improve quality and life of valve assemblies, wear mechanism and 3-D surface topography should be analyzed according to operating conditions of the engine. After developing an engine simulator that generates valve speed up to 90Hz and temperature up to $900^{\circ}C$ as well as controls test load, wear experiments have been conducted for two different engine speeds as 10Hz and 25Hz. In order to observe the wear characteristics and monitor surface conditions of the valve assemblies, a cost-effective 3-D wear analysis system based on the shape from focus(SFF) and machine vision has been fabricated in this paper. 3-D surface topography of the valve assemblies has been analyzed to understand the wear behavior according to operating conditions of the engine. Consequently, wear volume of the valve assemblies is quantized by using the developed 3-D wear analysis system.
