Springs are widely utilized in machine element. To find out stiffness of frustum-shaped coil spring, the space beam theory using the finite element method is adopted in this paper. In three dimensional space, a space frame element is a straight bar of uniform cross section which is capable of resisting axial forces, bending moments about two principal axes in the plane of its cross section and twisting moment about its centroidal axis. The corresponding displacement degrees of freedom are twelve. To find out load vector of coil spring subjected to distributed compression. principle of virtual work is adapted. And this theory was programming using MATLAB software. To compare FEM using MATLAB software was applied MSC. Nastran software. The geometry model for MSC. Patran was produced by 3-D design modeling software. Finite element model was produced by MSC. Patran. Finite element was applied tetra (CTETRA) having 10 node. The analysis results of the MATLAB and MSC. Nastran are fairly well agreed with those of various experiments. Using MATLAB program proposed in this paper and MSC. Nastran, spring constants and stresses can be predicted by input of few factors.

On the stability of the Timoshenko cantilever column subjected of a compressive follower force, the influences of the moment of inertia of the tip mass at the free end and the characteristics of a translational spring at the free end of the column are studied. The equations of motion and boundary conditions of system are estabilished by using the d'Alembert virtual work of principle. On the evaluation of stability of the column, the effect of the shear deformation and rotatory inertia is considered in calculation. The moment of inertia of the tip mass at the free end of the column is changed by adjusting the distance c, from the free end of the column to the tip mass center. The free end of the column is supported elastically by a translational spring. For the maintenance of the good stability of the column, it is also proved that the constant of the translational spring at the free end must be very large for the case without a tip mass while it must be small for the case with a tip mass. Therefore, it is found that the shape of the tip mass and the characteristic of the spring at the free end are very effective elements for the stability of the column when the columns subjected to a compressive follower force are designed.

General joystick using spring only has a vibration when operaor drops the joystick. If it is used as input of motorized wheelchair, its system have a serious problem which operator fall into dangerous situation. Therefore, In this paper proposed non-vibration joustick which control a motorized wheelchair. Non-vibration joystick was designed which return to origin point when operator drops joystick by mistake. Reflected force of non- vibration joystick is defined as addition displacement and variation rate. And each parameter has elasticity of spring and viscosity of DC servo motor. Through simulation for virtual environment, we found two coefficient to return origin point smoothly when a disabled person drops the joystick. In case of larger elastic coefficient of spring than viscous coefficient, we confirmed the result has the equal vibration of general joystick (under-damping). In opposite case, joystick returned to origin point with excessive force. As a application of non-vibration joystick, we experimented wall-following controlling. In this trial, we corroborated that joystick follows smoothly around the corridors.

본 연구에서는 단일 현장타설말뚝의 가상고정점 해석과 기둥과 말뚝을 3차원 전체 모델링한 해석을 비교 분석하여 가상고정점 해석의 적정성을 평가하였다. 또한, 가상고정점 해석을 보완하기 위하여 단일 현장타설말뚝의 기둥과 말뚝을 분리하여 등가 지반면 스프링 모델을 적용한 분리해석을 수행하였다. 이 때 지반조건, 하중, 말뚝직경 등의 주요 영향인자에 따라 그 거동을 분석하였다. 본 연구결과, 가상고정점을 고려한 해석에서의 침하량과 수평 변위는 전체 모델링한 해석과 비교하여 작게 발생했으나, 축력과 휨모멘트는 크게 나타났다. 따라서 가상고정점을 통한 해석법은 실제 구조물 거동과 다른 단부조건으로 단일 현장타설말뚝의 정확한 거동을 파악하기엔 무리가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 기둥과 말뚝을 단일부재로 모델링하는 일체해석과 기둥-말뚝의 상호작용을 고려한 분리해석의 결과에는 서로 차이가 없었으며, 이를 통해 기둥-말뚝의 상호작용을 고려한 분리해석은 가상고정점 해석에서 상하부 일체해석으로 넘어가는 중간단계의 비교적 정확하고 경제적인 설계법임을 알 수 있었다.

Existing model houses have played an important role in allow the customers to choose apartment. As the information technology has been advanced (e.g. a high-speed internet available in unit), customers' personality and preference to the design of apartment and the purchasing pattern have been changed. Construction firms have introduced VR(Virtual Reality) model house (e.g. Quick Time Virtual Reality) to meet the customers' expectation and need. The reality-based QTVR model house does not provide enough quality to satisfy the customers' expectation. To complement the shortcoming of the QTVR model house, this study presents a web-based cyber model house developed by using Turntool and Javascript. The cyber model house allows to communicate between supplier and customer over the internet.

In this paper we present a new real-time visual servoing unit for laparoscopic surgery This unit can automatically control laparoscope manipulator through visual tracking of laparoscopic surgical tool. For the tracking, we present two-stage adaptive CONDENSATION(conditional density propagation) algorithm to extract the accurate position of the surgical tool tip from a surgical image sequence in real-time. This algorithm can be adaptable to abrupt change of laparoscope illumination. For the control, we present virtual damper system to control a laparoscope manipulator safely and stably. This system causes the laparoscope to move under constraint of the virtual dampers which are linked to the four sides of image. The visual servoing unit operates the manipulator in real-time with locating the surgical tool in the center of image. The experimental results show that the proposed visual tracking algorithm is highly robust and the controlled manipulator can present stable view with safe.

Previous walking pattern generation methods could generate walking patterns that allow only straight walking on flat and uneven terrain. They were unable to generate modifiable walking patterns whereby the sagittal and lateral step lengths and walking direction can be changed at every footstep. This paper proposes a novel walking pattern generation method to realize modifiable walking of humanoid robots on unknown uneven terrain. The proposed method employs a walking pattern generator based on the 3-D linear inverted pendulum model (LIPM), which enables a humanoid robot to vary its walking patterns at every footstep. A control strategy for walking on unknown uneven terrain is proposed. Virtual spring-damper (VSD) models are used to compensate for the disturbances that occur between the robot and the terrain when the robot walks on uneven terrain with unknown height. In addition, methods for generating the foot and vertical center of mass (COM) of the 3-D LIPM trajectories are developed to realize stable walking on unknown uneven terrain. The proposed method is implemented on a small-sized humanoid robot platform, DARwIn-OP and its effectiveness is demonstrated experimentally.

햅틱 시스템에는 사용자인 인간이 항상 포함되므로, 인간 임피던스에 의한 시스템 안정성 분석이 필요하다. 특히, 일차 홀드 방식의 햅틱 시스템에 대한 인간 임피던스의 안정성 영향 분석이 미진하다. 본 논문에서는 선형 2차 시스템으로 모델화된 인간의 임피던스 모델을 포함하는, 일차 홀드 방식의 햅틱 시스템에 대한 안정성을 루드-후르비쯔 (Routh-Hurwitz)안정성 판별법을 이용하여 해석했다. 가상 벽 모델인 가상 스프링 상수 ($K_w$)의 안정성 영역과 인간 임피던스의 질량 ($M_h$), 댐핑 ($B_h$),그리고 스프링 상수 ($K_h$)와의 관계를 루드-후르비쯔 안정성 판별법을 이용하여 분석한 결과, 스프링 상수 ($K_h$)가 일정할 때 가상 스프링 상수 ($K_w$)는 인간 임피던스의 질량 ($M_h$)과 댐핑 ($B_h$)의 제곱근에 비례했다. 또한 인간 임피던스의 질량 ($M_h$)또는 댐핑 ($B_h$)가 일정할 때 가상 스프링 상수 ($K_w$)는 스프링 상수 ($K_h$)의 0.48배만큼 감소했다. 이를 종합하여 $K_w{\leq}54413{\sqrt{(M_h+M_d)(B_h+B_d)}}-0.486K_h$의 모델을 제안했고, 이론 값들과 제시된 모델로부터 계산된 값을 비교한 결과 평균적인 상대오차가 0.5%로 작게 나타났다. 제시된 모델이 인간 임피던스 모델과 가상 스프링 상수와의 관계를 비교적 잘 표현하고 있다.

We considered the uniformity of fabricated micromirror arrays by characterizing the fabrication process and calculating the appropriate driving voltages of micromirrors used as virtual photomask in maskless photolithography. The uniformity of the micromirror array in terms of driving voltage and optical characteristics is adversely affected by factors, such as the air gap between the bottom electrode and the mirror plate, the spring shape and the deformation of the mirror plate or torsion spring. The thickness deviation of the photoresist sacrificial layer, the misalignment between mirror plate and bottom electrode, the aluminum deposition condition used to produce the spring and the mirror plate, and initial mirror deflection were identified as key factors. Their importance lies in the fact that they are related to air gap deviations under the mirror plate, asymmetric driving voltages in left and right mirror directions, and the deformation of the Al sring or mirror plate after removal of the sacrificial layer. The plasma ashing conditions used for removing the sacrificial layer also contributed to the deformation of the mirror plate and spring. Driving voltages were calculated for the pixel operation of the micromirror array, and the non-uniform characteristics of fabricated micromirrors were taken into consideration to improve driving performance reliability.
