  • Tendon driven robot mechanisms have many advantages such as allowing miniaturization and light-weight designs and/or enhancing flexibility in the design of structures. When designing or analyzing tendon driven mechanisms, it is important to determine how the tendons should be connected and whether the designed mechanism is easily controllable. Graph representation is useful to view and analyze such tendon driven mechanisms that are complicatedly interconnected between mechanical elements. In this paper, we propose a method of generalized graph representation that provides us with an intuitive analysis tool not only for tendon driven manipulators, but also various other kinds of mechanical systems which are combined with tendons. This method leads us to easily obtain structure matrix - which is the one of the most important steps in analyzing tendon driven mechanisms.

  • Cloud computing makes extensive use of virtual machines that permit for workloads, as well as resource usage, to be isolated from one another, and a hypervisor can be used by a virtual machine to construct cloud computing infrastructure. However, the hypervisor has high resource usage when constructing virtual machines, which results in a waste of allocated resources when not activated. Docker provides a more light-weight method to obtain agile computing resources based on a container technique that handles this problem. In this study, we have chosen this specific tool due to the increasing popularity of MapReduce and cloud container technologies such as Docker. This study aims to automatically configure Twister workloads for container-driven clouds. Basically, this is the first attempt towards automatic configuration of Twister jobs on a container-based cloud platform VM for many workloads.

  • Wind power system is composed by 3 major parts, rotor blade, nacelle and tower. Especially, the nacelle cover has an important role to prevent the component of nacelle and rotor from an extreme external circumstance. Therefore it is necessary to analyze and evaluate the stress distribution and deformation for them in the design level. There are two major points in nacelle cover analysis. The one is nacelle cover itself and the other is cover support structure. According to GL specification, this study shows the result that CFRP nacelle cover of wind turbine satisfies the strength and deformation through numerical analysis using the commercial finite element analysis program.

  • Polymer bushing used for overhead line switch was designed and investigated. Requirements of electrical ratings such as partial discharge, ac withstand voltage, impulse voltage and material properties were proposed in accordance with IEEE 386 and pre-standard (PS) 151-146∼147, 170∼180 of KEPCO. The polymer bushing consists of an internal epoxy bushing and external housing made of EPDM rubber. The rubber housing was molded with mold cone. Therefore, the polymer bushing offers several advantages like light weight, good sealing properties, easy installation and excellent performance in contamination. Electric field analysis was also introduced in order to verify the reliability of the design.

  • Mobility of an indoor wheeled robot is affected by adhesion force that is related to various floor conditions. When the adhesion force between driving wheels and floor decreases suddenly, the robot begins slip. In order to overcome this slip problem, optimal slip velocity must be decided for stable movement of wheeled robot. First of all, this paper shows that conventional PI control can not be applied to a wheeled robot of the light weight. Secondly, proposed fuzzy logic is applied to the Takagi-Sugeno model for the configuration of fuzzy sets. For the design of Takagi-Sugeno model and fuzzy rule, proposed algorithm uses FCM(Fuzzy c-mean clustering method) algorithm. The proposed fuzzy logic controller(FLC) is pretty useful with prevention of the slip phenomena for the controller performance in the re-adhesion control strategy.

  • Existing construction materials such as concrete and steel have chronic problems; deterioration and corrosion. Owing to its special features of light weight ‘ high durability, anti-corrosion, composite material used in civil infrastructure can not only solve fundamental problems of deterioration and corrosion, but also reduce both construction and maintenance cost significantly. After the fabrication of deck panel with snap-fit connection by pultrusion through composite design according to stacking sequence of composite laminates and structural analysis, performance of decks will be verified and evaluated by structural tests.

  • For the Space-borne optical imaging payload system design, light weighting and moderate stiffness of mirror and/or mirror fixation device is very important aspects. The front surface of mirror is regulated by optical performance requirement, but the shape of backplate of mirror is to be optimised while satisfing the required stiffness and weight. According to the results, the best shape of backplate cell is triangular. And also related geometric dimensions and the optimised mounting point of MFD(Mirror Fixation Device) is presented. Finally, natural frequencies and shpaes of mirror structure are analysed.
