SLA(Scanned Linear Array) is a portable display unit for implementing next-generation virtual realities, utilizes a design that light generated by a line of LEDs is reflected from the rapidly oscillating mirror to generate a raster display. Reaction forces generated by the motions of the mirror and counter-balance mass cancel each other at the device base, reducing vibration. Metal leaf springs have been extensively applied in such portable units. Magnetic springs have been developed and adopted that can replace the metal spring and can avoid many disadvantages of metal springs. We model and analyze the dynamics of the structure with magnetic springs and present the simulation and experimental analysis results, which can be utilized for identifying and eliminating possible problem sources in removing shaking forces and moments, and oscillating the mirror at the required amplitude and frequency. Finally, we present the improved novel magnetic actuator model which can be applied in portable display units.

This study proposes a NN (Neural Networks)-based adaptive control method for a 6X6 skid-type UGV (Unmanned Ground Vehicle) with 6 in-wheel motors. The UGV experiences lots of uncertainties and, thus, the control performance can degrade significantly without a compensation of the unknown terms. To improve the control performance of the UGV, the NN is utilized to design the adaptive controller. Then, the designed overall force and moment are optimally distributed into 6 traction forces with the assumption that six vertical forces of the UGV are known exactly, because the six traction forces are original source to be excited to the UGV to move. Finally, numerical simulations with the TruckSim model are performed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

The analysis of dynamic forces is essential to the design of systems, stress analysis, or life prediction of part of machine. Calculation of dynamic forces has very close relations with multibody dynamics algorithm. In this paper, an algorithm which calculates joint reaction force/moment of flexible multibody dynamic systems is proposed by using inverse dynamic algorithm and velocity transformation technique.

Propellers operating in a given nonuniform ship wake generate unsteady loads leading to undesirable stern vibration problems. The skew is known to be the most proper and effective geometric parameter to control or reduce the fluctuating forces on the shaft. This paper assumes the skew profile as either a quadratic or a cubic function of the radius and determines the coefficients of the polynomial function by applying the simplex method. The method uses the converted unconstrained algorithm to solve the constrained minimization problem of 6-component shaft excitation forces. The propeller excitation was computed either by applying the two-dimensional gust theory for quick estimation or by the fully three-dimensional unsteady lifting surface theory in time domain for an accurate solution. A sample result demonstrates that the shaft forces can be further reduced through optimization from the original design.

It is important to estimate exactly wave forces acting on various types of offshore structures under the severe environmental conditions in the ocean site. This paper presents an easy experimental method which deals with transient waves. The proposed scheme made it possible to generate breaking waves at any position in the wave tank by changing the maximum slope of the component waves. The theoretical and experimental methods were investigated by generating concentrated waves which acted on a single and multiple cylinders. The waves forces increased rapidly when the models encountered breaking waves. The theoretical results underestimates the forces due to breaking waves. Therefore, the effects due to breaking waves should be considered carefully in the design process of a structure under the influence of breaking waves.

In this study, the impact analysis for the steel fender system that designed for protection of collision between vessel and bridge was performed The size of objective collision vessel assumed as 3000 dead weight tonnage(DWT). The impact forces and the impact energies were estimated by formulas of several design codes, and the steel fender system was designed based on the estimated forces and energy. The bow of objective vessel was modeled as rigid body, and bridge substructure was modeled as fixed support. Since, the impact analysis have the dynamic nonlinear features, such as, material nonlinear, large deformation and contact, explicit structural analysis program was used The analysis results presented that the impact forces formulas in codes have the sufficient conservativeness.

The present paper is focused on the prediction of the acrosswind aeroelastic response of square tall buildings. In particular, a semi-analytical procedure is proposed based on the assumption that square tall buildings, for reduced velocities corresponding to operational conditions, do not experience vortex shedding resonance or galloping and fall in the range of positive aerodynamic damping. Under these conditions, aeroelastic wind tunnel tests can be unnecessary and the response can be correctly evaluated using wind tunnel tests on rigid models and analytical modeling of the aerodynamic damping. The proposed procedure consists of two phases. First, simultaneous measurements of the pressure time histories are carried out in the wind tunnel on rigid models, in order to obtain the aerodynamic forces. Then, aeroelastic forces are analytically evaluated and the structural response is computed through direct integration of the equations of motion considering the contribution of both the aerodynamic and aeroelastic forces. The procedure, which gives a conservative estimate of the aeroelastic response, has the advantage that aeroelastic tests are avoided, at least in the preliminary design phase.

A theoretical model has been studied to describe the sound radiation analysis for structure vibration noise of vehicle tires under the action of random moving line forces. When a tire is analyzed, it had been modeled as curved beams with distributed springs and dash pots that represent the radial, tangential stiffness and damping of tire, respectively. The reaction due to fluid loading on the vibratory response of the curved beam is taken into account. The curved beam is assumed to occupy the plane y=0 and to be axially infinite. The expression for sound power is integrated numerically and the results examined as a function of Mach number, wave-number ratio and stiffness factor. The experimental investigation for structure vibration noise of vehicle tire under the action of random moving line forces has been made. Based on the Spatial Transformation of Sound Field techniques, the sound power and sound radiation are measured. Results strongly suggest that operation condition in the tire material properties and design factors of the tire govern the sound power and sound radiation characteristics.

Yacht is operated by wind-driven thrust on the saii, but also experiencing the side force. Thus the keel attached on the bottom of main hull prevents it from flowing sideway. Since the keel affects the stability and thrust of yacht, its selection is one of the most important factor in design. In the present paper the correlation between yacht hull and keel was investigated. through comparison of forces measured at various combinations of heeling and leeway angles with and without keel. Keel-only test was also performed to find out the drag and lift characteristics of keel itself. finally three different types of keel, i.e. fin keel, bulb keel and winglet keel were tested to compare their advantages and drawbacks.
