Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of freezing of gait and visual information on the static postural control ability in patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD) during the bipedal stance with feet together. Method: This study included a total of 36 patients with PD; the freezer group included 17 PD patients (age: $69.3{\pm}6.2yrs$, height: $159.6{\pm}9.0cm$, weight: $63.4{\pm}9.78kg$) and the nonfreezer group included 19 PD patients (age: $71.4{\pm}5.6yrs$, height: $155.8{\pm}7.1cm$, weight: $57.7{\pm}8.6kg$). Static postural control ability was analyzed using variables of center of pressure (COP) and dividing by mediolateral, anteroposterior, and integration factors during a bipedal stance with the eyes open and closed. Results: Freezers and nonfreezers showed increases in anteroposterior velocity, mediolateral velocity, averaged velocity, and mediolateral 95% edge frequency when visual information was blocked. Additionally, freezers had greater anteroposterior range, 95% confidence ellipse area, and COP anteroposterior mean position than nonfreezers. Conclusion: Freezers and nonfreezers showed a reduction in static postural control ability when visual information was blocked. Additionally, the results of this study found a significant difference in static postural control ability between freezers and nonfreezers with PD. In particular, anteroposterior range, 95% confidence ellipse area, and COP anteroposterior mean position might be used to distinguish between freezers and nonfreezers with PD.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to find out the reliability and validity of the newly updated Balancia 2.5 program using Wii balance board through equipment that can measure center of pressure data with the precision. Design: Cross-sectional study Methods: Twenty-seven healthy adults participated in the study. The subjects were assessed for static balance ability by Accusway, and were assessed for static balance ability on Wii balance board connected to theBalancia 2.5 program.To limit postural fluctuations due to stare, the subjects were asked to look at a 15 cm dot drawn 3 m in front of them for 30 seconds with their eyes open. Static balance ability data such as path length and sway velocity were extracted from all measurement tools.Intra-rater and inter-rater reliability and validity were extracted through intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: The intra-rater reliability that the same rater shows consistent results through test-retest was a high level at ICC=0.968 (0.926~0.986), and inter-rater reliability that the requires consistent results even when measured by different raters was a high level at ICC=0.943 (0.870~0.975). The validity was a high level at ICC=0.948 (0.881~0.977), which shows whether the measurement tool is properly measuring what it is intended to measure. Conclusions: The Balancia 2.5 program, newly updated through this study, proved to be a program with high reliability and validity in evaluating static balance ability like the existingBalancia 2.0 program.

This paper proposes a method to calculate the static characteristics of the FDBs with the curved surface. The general Reynolds equations are derived for the curved surfaces in the ${\theta}s$ plane. And the Reynolds equation is transformed to the finite element equations by considering the continuity of pressure and flow at the interface between the curved, journal and the thrust bearings. It also includes the Reynolds boundary condition in the numerical analysis to simulate the cavitation phenomenon. The static characteristics of the coupled journal and conical bearings were investigated due to the variation of conical angle. It shows that the conical angle is one of the important design parameters affecting the static and dynamic characteristics of FBBs.

In this study, a series of experiments and analyses are performed to estimate the static characteristics of hydrostatic journal bearing such as load capacity, pressure change in each recess, eccentricity of spindle, etc. The experiments are carried out for a multi-recess type journal bearing with capillary restrictor. The Finite Element Method(FEM) is used for the analyses. The predicted load capacity under the condition of stationary or eccentric ratio of bellow 0.2 of the spindle shows excellent agreement with the measured. But, with an increase of the eccentric ratio when the spindle is rotating, the predicted load capacity is largely estimated than the measured. It seems that the difference is mainly caused among others from the fact that the effect of oil-viscosity variation due to the temperature change in the bearing is not introduced into the analyses. The analysis method proposed to estimate the static characteristics of hydrostatic journal bearing is considered to be very reliable since the predicted results are overall in good agreement with the measured.

The ship hydrodynamics in static and dynamic states were investigated using 3-dimensional numerical simulations. The static case simulated a fixed ship, while the dynamic case considered a ship with free sinkage and trim using the mesh morphing technique. High speed was found to increase the wave elevation around the ship. Compared with the static case, the dynamic case seemed to generate higher waves near the bow and after the stern. The frictional resistance was found be to more dominant. However, the pressure resistance became gradually important with the increase of the ship speed. The trim and sinkage were also analyzed to characterize the ship hydrodynamics in the dynamic state.

In the current study, a series of experimental and analytical evaluations were performed to introduce the horizontal pseudo static coefficient (kh) as a function of the wall configuration and the reinforcement type for analyzing reinforced soil walls. For this purpose, eight shaking table tests were performed on reduced-scale models of integrated and two-tiered walls reinforced by metal strip and geogrid to determine the distribution of dynamic lateral pressure in the walls. Then, the physical models were analyzed using Mononobe-Okabe method to estimate the value of kh required to establish the dynamic lateral pressures similar to those observed in shaking table tests. Based on the results, the horizontal pseudo static coefficient and the position of resultant lateral force (R) were introduced as a function of the horizontal peak ground acceleration (HPGA), the wall configuration, the reinforcement type as well as maximum wall displacement.

The effects of oil supply conditions on the static and dynamic properties of journal bearings supporting high speed rotors were investigated. The initially unknown hydrostatic pressure in oil pockets were determined by iteration with the aid of the equation of oil flow balance for given oil supply pressure and flow coefficients of oil inlet. For the calculation of dynamic characteristics, the dynamic changes of pressure in lubricating gaps and oil pockets were linearised with a perturbation method.

본 연구에서는 전개판의 영각 변화에 따른 정적안정성에 관하여 이론적 해석을 하였다. 또한 전개판의 형상별 유체력에 의한 정적 안정성을 평가하기 위하여 종횡비가 다른 평판과 만곡도가 다른 종만곡판을 사용하여 회류수조에서 유체력 및 모벤트를 측정하고 형상별 압력중섬계수와 모멘트 계수를 계산하였다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 전개판의 영각($\alpha$) 변화에 따른 끌줄의 장력과 후릿줄의 장력에 의한 모멘트 변화는 전개판을 항상 정적 안정성을 가지도록 작용한다. 2. 종횡비(λ)가 0.5, 1.0, 1.5인 평판의 압력중심계 수는 영각의 증가와 함께 전연에서 중심쪽으로 이동한다. 이것은 유체력에 의한 모멘트는 항상 정적으로 안정하도록 작용한다는 것을 의미한다. 3. 종횡비가 일정(λ=1.5)하고, 만곡도(CR)가 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%인 만곡판의 유체력에 의한 압력중심계수는 영각의 증가와 함께 후연에서 전연쪽으로 이동한 다음, 다시 만곡판의 중심쪽으로 이동한다 만곡판에 작용하는 유체력에 의한 모멘트는 만곡도가 커질수록 정적으로 불안정한 영각의 범위가 증가한다.

The fluid mechanics and operating conditions of gas-lubricated proceeding bearings in micro rotating machinery such as micro polarization modulator and micro gas turbine are different from their larger size ones. Due to non-continuum effects, there is a slip of gas at the walls. Thus in this paper, the slip flow effect is considered to estimate the pressure distribution and load-carrying capacity of micro gas-lubricated proceeding bearings as the local Knudsen number at the minimum film thickness is greater than 0.01. Based on the compressible Reynolds equation with slip flow, the static characteristics of micro gas-lubricated proceeding bearings are obtained. Numerical predictions compare the pressure distribution and load capacity considering slip flow with the performance of micro proceeding bearings without slip f]ow for a range of bearing numbers and eccentricities. The results clearly show that the slip flow effect on the static characteristics is considerable and becomes more significant as temperature increases.
