This study was conducted to observe the change of limbs stroke and respiration gas parameters in our new bicycle fitness system. We hypothesized that the variable force of left and right limbs might be effective for sensing stimulation in modified new unequal pedal bicycle system. It has been developed, which can provide visual information and different length of pedal with left and right limbs. Experimental results showed different activities between the left and right limbs where the activity of the left limb increased than that of right limb. Especially, the soleous muscle activity increased both in control and experimental groups by this training method. But oxygen and carbon dioxide partial pressures in respiratory gas increased during training method. These results suggest that acidosis of blood was led by this process. Consequently, this bicycle training is concluded that aerobic training could affect different limb activities. Finally, we expect that our new bicycle system will be effective for healthcare with proper balance between the left and right limbs.

When it comes to commercial vehicles, their unique characteristics - center of gravity, size, weight distribution - make them particularly vulnerable to rollover. On top of that, conventional heavy vehicle brake exhibits longer actuation delays caused in part by long air lines from brake pedal to tires. This paper describes rollover prevention algorithm that copes with the characteristics of commercial vehicles. In regard of compensating for high actuating delay, predicted rollover index with short preview time has been designed. Moreover, predicted rollover index with longer preview time has been calculated by using road curvature information based on environment information. When rollover index becomes larger than specific threshold value, desired braking force is calculated in order to decrease the index. At the same time, braking force is distributed to each tire to make yaw rate track desired value.

Due to increase of demands on safety and convenience for automotive vehicle, the use of DC motor, such as power window, seat adjusting, pedal adjusting, sunroof, electric shift motor and so on, is increasing rapidly in the whole world. Worm gear is an important part to transmit torque to another gear in gear mechanism of automotive DC motor. But with current forming process, it has some problems in manufacturing and the quality. Also, the characteristics of automotive parts such as price and mass-production limit the quality improvement. Recently several methods are used in order to reduce a worm screw machining time and to maintain precision. In this paper, we introduce whirling tool machining and side milling cutter machining as effective manufacturing method of worm screw and study on the cutting force of side milling cutter and whirling tool in worm screw machining.

본 논문은 보다 높은 실재감과 안전성을 확보하기 위한 무인차량 원격주행제어 환경 개발에 대한 내용을 설명한다. 주로 무인차량 원격주행제어를 위한 환경은 조이스틱 형태의 장치를 활용하여 조향과 가/감속이 가능하도록 개발되어 사용되었다. 그 외 일반 차량처럼 간이 조향-휠(steering-wheel)을 기반으로 개발된 시뮬레이터 환경도 있으나, 현재 주행 상황을 피드백하는 기술이 적용되어 있지 않거나 가/감속부를 포함하지 않는 것이 대부분이다. 피드백 기술이란 일반 차량을 직접 운전할 때 조향-휠과 가/감속 페달을 통해 느껴지는 현재 주행 상황을 시뮬레이터 환경에 구현하는 것을 의미한다. 이렇듯 무인차량 원격주행제어에 이질감을 감소시키는 피드백 기술 개발과 더불어 실재감을 높일 수 있는 시뮬레이터 환경 구축이 필수적이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 선행 연구를 통해 개발된 힘반향 햅틱제어 기술을 적용할 수 있는 시뮬레이터 환경을 구축하고 시뮬레이터 하드웨어의 최소 요구사양을 도출하는 연구를 수행하였다. 하드웨어 구성은 일반 차량과 유사한 조향-휠 모듈과 가/감속 페달 모듈로 구성하였으며, 조향부와 가/감속부 모두 피드백 기술을 적용할 수 있도록 별도의 액추에이터를 설치하였다. 또한 제어부 PC를 통해 두 가지 조작부에 피드백 명령을 전달할 수 있도록 CAN(controller area network) 통신 환경을 구성하였다. 이렇게 구성한 시뮬레이터 환경의 성능을 검증하기 위하여 기 개발된 힘반향 햅틱제어 알고리즘을 직접 적용하여 각 상황 별 알고리즘 동작을 평가하였다.

이 논문의 목적은 자동차 클러치, 수동변속기와 타이어 시스템의 마찰에 관련된 화재에 대한 고장사례를 분석하고 연구하는 것이다. 첫 번째 사례는 반복적으로 클러칭하면서 자동차의 클러치 디스크가 플라이 휠의 접촉면과 접촉하면서 열에 의해 과열되어 이 열이 수동변속기의 외부로 흘러 고착된 오일 찌꺼기에 옮겨 붙어 화재가 발생된 것으로 확인되었다. 두 번째, 사례로 변속 장치는 기어와 기어의 접촉에 의해 동력을 전달한다. 변속기 오일이 변속기 케이스의 균열로 인해 오일 부족 현상이 일어나 변속기 케이스 상단의 퇴적물에 의해 화재가 발생된 것을 확인하였다. 세번째 사례는 건조한 구덩이에서 빠져나오려고 반복적으로 가속페달을 작동시키면서 타이어와 도로의 마찰이 반복되면서 내부의 축적된 열에 의해서 화재가 발생된 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서, 운전자는 운전 중 마찰부에 화재가 발생하지 않도록 세심하게 관리하여야 한다.

A triboelectric nanogenerator is a promising energy harvester operated by the combined mechanism of electrostatic induction and contact electrification. It has attracting attention as eco-friendly and sustainable energy generators by harvesting wasting mechanical energies. However, the power generated in the natural environment is accompanied by low frequencies, so that the output power under such input conditions is normally insufficient amount for a variety of industrial applications. In this study, we introduce a non-contact rotational triboelectric nanogenerator using pedaling and gear systems (called by P-TENG), which has a mechanism that produces high power by using rack gear and pinion gear when a large force by a pedal is given. We design the system can rotate the shaft to which the rotor is connected through the conversion of vertical motion to rotational motion between the rack gear and the pinion gear. Furthermore, the system controls the one directional rotation due to the engagement rotation of the two pinion gears and the one-way needle roller bearing. The TENG with a 2 mm gap between the rotor and the stator produces about the power of 200 ㎼ and turns on 82 LEDs under the condition of 800 rpm. We expect that P-TENG can be used in a variety of applications such as operating portable electronics or sterilizing contaminated water.

This paper presents the visualization method of the KAIST interactive bicycle simulator. The simulator consists of two bicycles of 6 DOF and 4 DOF platforms, force feedback handlebars and pedal resistance systems to generate motion feelings; a real-time visual simulator, a HMD and a beam projection system; and a 3D sound system. The system has an integrating control network with the server-client network structure for multiple simulators. The visual simulator generates dynamic images in real-time while communicating with other modules of the simulator. The operator of the simulator can have realistic visual experience of riding on a velodrome or through the KAIST campus, while being able to watch the other bicycle with an avatar.

For the acceleration and brake systems of an autonomous vehicle, the dynamic models from acceleration (brake) pedal input to driving(braking) torque at the vehicle wheel are represented by a set of linear transfer functions in this paper. We present an experimental method that can identify these models using a single rectangular pulse response data. Various magnitude of inputs with different running speeds are applied to experimental tests. All the identified models are demonstrated by the measured data. Both acceleration and brake models have been also validated by comparing the velocity of a full vehicle model associated with the proposed models with the measured vehicle velocity.

In this paper, the ventilating and heating system of T-103 trainer aircraft were investigated and redesigned to improve its poor performance. The ventilation system of the trainer was designed to increase the mass flow rate of fresh air by using air intake valves. The flow-in air through the air intake valve is supplied to the cabin by the ram effect of aircraft and the propeller. And the additional heating system was installed to improve the temperature of the cabin inside. The wasted heat from the exhaust gas of the engines was used as heat source of the additional heating system by installing an heat exchanger around the exhaust nozzle. The additional fresh air and the heated air enter the cabin via two ducts mounted under the instrument panel and behind the pedal in the cabin. The additional ventilating and heating system can be controlled by the first pilot and the secondary pilot individually using the control knob equipped separately. After mounting the additional ventilating and heating system, evaluations such as inspection of parts and component, ground run-up test, in-flight test, user test, etc. were conducted. The result of the tests was sufficient to meet the requirements of the manuals, and the pilots were satisfied with the additionally mounted systems.

경기력 향상을 위한 자전거 프레임을 제작하기 위하여 주행 시 자전거 프레임에 발생하는 항력을 고려한 공기역학적 설계가 필요하다. 이를 위해 국제 사이클연맹 규격에 맞추어 초기 프레임을 설계 및 제작을 하였고 프레임에 발생하는 항력을 정량적 척도로 판단하기 위하여 항력계수를 이용하였다. 자전거 프레임의 공기저항을 최소화하기 위해 프레임 단면의 파라미터 설계를 실시하여 최적의 프레임의 형상을 도출하였다. 또한 자전거 프레임은 주행 시 선수에 의한 하중을 견딜 수 있어야 한다. 구조적인 측면에서 안정성을 갖춘 프레임을 제작하기 위하여 국제 사이클 연맹규격에서 제시하는 하중조건을 근거로 프레임의 강성을 평가하였고 이를 통해 선수용 자전거 프레임을 개발하였다.
