In this paper, a wall climbing robot, called LAVAR, is developed, which is using an impeller for adhering. The adhesion mechanism of the robot consists of an impeller and two-layered suction seals which provide sufficient adhesion force for the robot body on the non smooth vertical wall and horizontal ceiling. The robot uses two driving-wheels and one ball-caster to maneuver the wall surface. A suspension mechanism is also used to overcome the obstacles on the wall surface. For its design, the whole adhering mechanism is analyzed and the control system is built up based on this analysis. The performances of the robot are experimentally verified on the vertical and horizontal flat surfaces.

In characterizing a suspension, heterogenety is included onto the previous characterization using solids concentrations and flocculent characteristics, because of its importance in hydrodynamics. The mechanism of interface formation during the sedimentation of concentrated suspension (thickening) is investigated from a microcosm consisting of four particles in a same plane and a smaller particle below. The critical distances after shich interface forms are calculated as a function of particle size ratio when the small particle is located in the middle of the squre datermined by the large particles. The results shows that the critical separation distance increase as the size ratio approaches to one (homogeneous suspension). This conforms to the trend of existing observations that homogeneous suspensions create the solid-liquid interface at much lower concentration (at al larger separation distance) that the heterogeneous suspensions.

In this paper a self-tuning modified skyhook control for the semi-active suspension systems is investigated. The damping force generation mechanism is modeled We consider a 2 DOF time-varying quarter car model that permits parameter variations of the sprung mass and suspension spring coefficient. The modified skyhook control algorithm proposed in this paper requires only the measurement of body acceleration. The absolute velocity of the sprung mass and the relative velocity of the suspension deflection are estimated by using integral filters, according to parameter variations. The skyhook gains are designed in such a way that the body acceleration and the dynamic tire force are optimized. An ECU prototype will be discussed

The korean tilting train can increase the whole operating speed at a curved railroad, reducing the lateral acceleration with the tilting mechanism unlike the train developed before. However, increasing operating speed on the curved section, may cause safety problem of train travel. In general, a suspension system has important effects on driving safety. Therefore, optimization of suspension system is necessary to secure the safety of the tilting train. In this study, the tilting train suspension system has been optimized using Design of Experiments (DOE). First, the design parameter is selected using sensitivity analysis. A lateral acceleration which affects on the driving safety is chosen as the objective function. And the Design of Experiments (DOE) is used for optimization. As a result, new design parameters which show better performance than the existing suspension system has been suggested.

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.

Steel suspension members subjected to tension and bending offer an economical and efficient alternative for many structural problems. This paper is concerned with the elastic and elastic-plastic behaviour of suspension members with bending stiffness subjected to vertical point and uniformly distributed loads. An experimental study is described which focuses on the response of three suspension members with various T-shaped steel hot rolled sections and geometric configurations. The tests enable direct assessment of the influence of a key parameter such as the sag-to-span ratio on the response of suspension members. Detailed nonlinear finite-element models are generated to provide a tool for theoretical analyses and to facilitate further understanding of the behaviour. Results demonstrate that experimentally obtained responses can generally be closely predicted numerically because there are relatively good agreements between finite element and tests results. The results and observations of subsequent numerical parametric studies offer an insight into the key factors that govern the behaviour of suspension members with bending stiffness in the elastic-plastic range.

본 논문은 자동차 현가장치의 기구적 특성에 대한 설계 최적화에 관한 것이다. 현가장치의 기구적 특성은 토우 및 캠버와 같은 바퀴의 자세를 결정하며 이것은 주행 중 타이어의 마모에 관련될 뿐만 아니라 차량의 운동성능인 조종안정성에 큰 영향을 미친다. 따라서 설계 초기단계에서 현가장치 기구의 특성을 결정하는 것은 매우 중요한 일이다. 본 논문에서는 맥퍼슨 스트러트식 현가장치에 대한 현가장치의 기구적 특성을 파악하기 위하여 변위해석을 수행하였다. 이를 위해 현가장치 기구를 구성하는 조인트에 대한 구속방정식을 세우고 이를 풀 수 있는 프로그램을 작성하였다. 또한 원하고자 하는 현가장치의 기구적 특성을 얻기 위하여 설계 최적화 프로그램인 ADS를 이용하였다. 최적화를 위한 설계변수로서 현가장치의 차체 부착점인 하드 포인트의 좌표로 설정하였으며 목표함수로서 바퀴의 상하운동에 대한 토우-인의 합으로 정의하였다. 구속함수로서 설계 시 제한조건인 최대 캠버각과 최저 롤 중심고를 고려하였다. 본 연구의 결과로서 두 가지 구속함수를 만족하고 토우-인의 변화를 최소로 하는 하드 포인트의 최적위치를 결정할 수 있었다.
