Purpose: This study investigated the effects of sex hormones across menstrual cycle phases on knee muscle activity during one-leg landing in non-athletic females. Methods: Twenty-six healthy females who reported normal menstrual cycles for the previous three months were tested when estrogen levels were highest (ovulation) and lowest (menstruation). Knee muscle activity was analyzed based on electromyography (EMG) data recorded during landing on a 30-cm box. Before data collection, each subject was trained in single-leg landing tasks ten times. Landing was analyzed by measuring the average of three landing tasks. EMG data were collected between the moment of ground contact and the point of knee maximum flexion. The maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) for normalization that was recorded as the EMG root-mean-square (RMS) during landing was tested, with paired t-tests used to assess differences in knee muscle activity according to menstrual cycle phases. Results: The results showed that the soleus, semitendinosus, and lateral gastrocnemius muscle activity during landing was differed significantly during ovulation compared to that during menstruation (p<0.05). No significant differences in vastus medialis activity were found between menstrual and ovulatory phases during landing (p>0.05). Conclusion: Changes in the menstrual cycle in response to sex hormones changed the activity of muscles around the knee during landing. Females utilize different muscle activity control strategies during different phases of the menstrual cycle, which may contribute to increased ACL injury risk.

The purpose of this study was to compare the differences in kinematic and kinetic parameters of the ankle and knee joint according to three landing direction(central, left, right). Fifteen collegiate male athletes(age: $22.7{\pm}3.5$ years, height: $174.9{\pm}7.1\;cm$, weight: $69.4{\pm}6.7\;kg$) with the right leg as dominant were chosen. The subjects performed series of drop landings in three directions. In terms of the three different landing directions, plantar flexion was the greatest during the central drop landings. For each initial contact of the landing direction, plantar flexion of the ankle was greatest at the central drop landing, inversion of the ankle was greatest at the right landing and valgus of the knee was greatest at the left drop landing. Regarding the peak force, the greatest was at the 1st peak force during the central drop landing. For the time-span of the 2nd peak force and the 2-1 peak force, both right sides resulted as the greatest. Therefore, with the appropriate training in landing techniques and developing neuromuscular training for proprioception by taking the injury mechanisms on ankle and knee during drop landings into account, it will assist in preventing such injuries.

본 논문에서는 다양한 착륙환경변수를 고려한 달착륙선의 착륙안정성 평가를 수행하였다. 달착륙선의 착륙안정성에 대한 판단 기준을 안정착륙, 미끄러짐(Sliding)으로 인한 조건부 안정착륙, 전복(Tip-over)으로 인한 불안정착륙으로 3가지로 분류하였다. 특히 달착륙선 전복 각도 예측을 위해 달착륙선이 착륙할 때 무게중심이 낮아지고, 착륙장치의 풋패드 간격이 늘어나는 현상을 고려하는 변수를 사용하여 준정적 전복해석식을 정리하였다. 이 결과를 상용유한요소 구조해석 프로그램인 ABAQUS를 사용하여 달착륙선의 유한요소 모델해석을 통해 얻은 결과와 비교하여 타당성 및 정확성을 검증하였다. 검증된 유한요소모델을 착륙자세, 횡방향속도, 지면의 각도, 마찰계수 등 다양한 환경변수에 따른 해석을 실시하고 그 경향성에 관해 검토하였다.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate differences of shock attenuation strategies between double-leg and single-leg landing on sagittal plane using statistical parametric mapping. Method: Nine healthy female professional soccer players (age: 24.0±2.5 yrs, height: 164.9±3.3 cm, weight: 55.7±6.6 kg, career: 11.2±1.4 yrs) were participated in this study. The subjects performed 10 times of double-leg and single-leg landing from the box of 30 cm height onto force plates respectively. The ground reaction force, angle, moment, angular velocity, and power of the ankle, knee, and hip joint on sagittal plane was calculated from initial contact to maximum knee flexion during landing phase. Statistical parametric mapping was used to compare the biomechanical variables of double-leg and single-leg landing of the dominant leg throughout the landing phase. Each mean difference of variables was analyzed using a paired t-test and alpha level was set to 0.05. Results: For the biomechanical variables, significantly increased vertical ground reaction force, plantarflexion moment of the ankle joint, negative ankle joint power and extension moment of the hip joint were found in single-leg landing compared to double-leg landing (p<.05). In addition, the flexion angle and angular velocity of the knee and hip joint in double-leg landing were observed significantly greater than single-leg landing, respectively (p<.05). Conclusion: These findings suggested that negative joint power and plantarflexion moment of the ankle joint can contribute to shock absorption during single-leg landing and may be the factors for preventing the musculoskeletal injuries of the lower extremity by an external force.

운항의 여러 단계 중 착륙단계에서 조종사들이 많은 부담을 느낀다. 이는 조종사들이 항공기 속도를 줄이고 접지하여 완전히 정지하는 동안 착륙안전에 영향을 미치는 여러 요소가 있기 때문이다. 만일 착륙하는데 활주로길이가 충분하다면 부담이 적을 수도 있다. 그러나 항상 그런 경우만 있는 것은 아니다. 따라서 착륙성능이 제한범위 내에 있는지 아닌지를 확인할 필요가 있다. 필요착륙거리는 시험비행 조종사에 의해 실증되어진 실제착륙거리에다가 항공사의 평균적인 조종사들을 위한 여유분을 포함한 것이다. FAR의 AFM(항공기 비행규정) 인가는 건조 및 습윤 활주로에서 수동착륙을 기반으로 한다. 기타 다른 활주로 조건에서는 인가가 필요하지 않다. JAR에서는 빙설/윤활활주로에서도 정해진 여유분을 포함시키도록 규정하고 있다. 자동착륙은 인가사항이 아니므로 실제착륙거리만 제공된다. 본 논문에서는 각 활주로 조건에서 포함된 거리 여유분을 분석하고자 한다. 또한 특정한 활주로 조건에서 여유분이 규정되어 있지 않은 경우 대안을 제시하고자 한다.

Aircraft MLG and wing structures have been recognized as fatigue critical structures and exposed to the risk of fatigue crack initiation and propagation. Furthermore, these structures are frequently subjected to serious dynamic loading condition during a Hard Landing which may lead to their failure. Especially, structural integrity of MLG and wing components is decreased as the flight time increased because of the fatigue damage accumulated on the aircraft. In this study, the effects of Hard Landing on the MLG and wing components of aging aircraft were evaluated by using numerical approach. To achieve the aim, a finite element model has been developed and simulations were conducted by varying the landing conditions. As a result, it was revealed that the high stress concentration phenomenon was occurred at the lower Side Brace of MLG. Thereby, the intensified inspection for the lower Side Brace should be considered to prevent unexpected aircraft mishap.

A Simulation S/W is developed to evaluate performances of MLS (Microwave Landing System) and IBLS(Integrated Beacon Landing System) in precision auto-landing. For this study classical PID and optimal LQG controllers are developed as well as mathematical models of MLS and IBLS. Ship-landing condition is also considered by assuming sinusoidal movement of the ship in the pitch direction. The simulated aircraft is F-16 in the study of precision auto-landing. For the integrated simulation environment GUI windows are designed for input of parameter values necessary for simulation, such as vehicle performance and environmental data. For validation and verification of models various comparison graphs of simulation outputs are comprised in the GUI design as well as 3D visual simulation of vehicle dynamics.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of landing height and knee joint muscle fatigue on the movement of the lower extremity during cutting after landing. Method : Subjects included 29 adults (age: $20.83{\pm}1.56years$, height: $172.42{\pm}9.51cm$, weight: $65.07{\pm}10.18kg$). The subjects were asked to stand on their dominant lower limb on jump stands that were 30 and 40 cm in height and jump from each stand to land with the dominant lower limb on a force plate making a side step cutting move at a $45^{\circ}$ angle with the non-dominant lower limb. The fatigue level at 30% of the knee extension peak torque using an isokinetic dynamometer. Results : The results showed that the difference of landing height increased maximum range of motion and angular velocity of hip, knee, and ankle joints in the sagittal plane, and in the angular velocity of motion of the hip joint in the sagittal plane. The maximum range of motion of the knee joint in the sagittal plane and the frontal plane decreased on landing from both heights after the fatigue exercise. The angular velocity of the hip joint in the sagittal plane, and the maximum range of motion of the hip joint in the transverse plane decreased for both landing heights after the fatigue exercise. The angular velocity of the hip joint in the frontal plane decreased for the 30 cm landing height after the fatigue exercise. On the other hand, the angular velocity and maximum range of motion of the ankle joint in the sagittal plane for both landing heights, and the angular velocity and maximum range of motion of the ankle joint in the frontal plane increased on landing from the 40 cm height after the fatigue exercise. Conclusion : Different landing heights of 30 and 40 cm and 30% fatigue of peak torque of knee extensor found a forefoot and stiff landing strategy, when cutting after landing. These results might be due to decline in the shock absorption capability of the knee joint and the movement capability related to cutting while increasing the contribution of the ankle joint, which may cause increased ankle joint injuries.
