  • In this study, the dynamic behavior of a three-span hybrid continuous arch bridge under vehicle loading is investigated. The natural vibration characteristics of the bridge were analyzed through pulsation test. In the dynamic loading test, the vibrations of the bridge under different truck speeds and different pavement conditions were tested, and time histories of deflection and acceleration of the bridge were measured. Based on the dynamic loading test, the impact coefficient was analyzed. The results indicate that the pavement smoothness had more impacts on the vibration of the bridge than the truck's speed. The vertical damping of the bridge under the excitation of the trucks is larger than the transverse damping. Resonance occurs at the side span of the bridge under a truck at 10 km/h.

  • The truck frame of railway vehicle is important structure supporting the various loadings during running on the railway. The verification of sufficient strength on truck frame is essential in case of EMU carrying many people. To verify the safety of truck frame, the actual loading conditions should be considered ast design stage. This paper is describing that the development procedure of truck frame and bolster changed from existing casting frame to new welded frame for New-York EMU, also introducing the design regulations for new welded truck frame. Additionally the dynamic accelerations on the truck were measured to insure the actual loadings on service running condition, and the procedure and results of this test are described in this paper.

  • In design of bridges, estimation of actions and loadings is very important for the safety and maintenance of bridges. In general, effect of traffic loading on the bridge can be modeled as live load (including impact load) and fatigue load. For estimation of traffic loading, it is important to get reliable and comprehensive truck statistical data such as the traffic and weight information. To get statistical data, Bridge Weigh-In-Motion (BWIM), which measures the truck weights without stopping the traffic, is need to be developed. In this study, BWIM system with various functions is developed first. Then this system is used to get comprehensive truck data. Traffic loadings including fatigue and live loading are formulated from the truck data acquired from the bridges. Objectives of this study are to develop the BWIM system, to apply the system in test bridge in Highway, and to formulate the live and fatigue loading for bridge design.

  • A leaf spring suspension has been widely used since it can carry big load and its simplicity. But one major drawback is the poor ride performance because of the friction in the system and the high stiffness coefficient. To overcome these, an air spring suspension can be used. The air spring suspension system can improve the ride of the heavy vehicle significantly and also it can adjust the height to the loading and unloading. The road tests for the truck with the leaf spring suspension and air spring suspension are performed to compare the ride quality of the two systems. To develop the air spring suspension system tailored to the target truck, chassis development procedure using CAE has been applied.

  • This paper performs static and dynamic tests of a multi-leaf spring and a tapered leaf spring to investigate their hysteretic characteristics. In the static test, trapezoidal input load is applied with 0.1Hz excitation frequency and with zero initial loading conditions. In the dynamic test, sinusoidal input load is applied with five excitation amplitudes and three excitation frequencies. In these tests, static and dynamic hysteretic characteristics of the multi-leaf spring and the tapered leaf spring are compared, and, the effects of excitation amplitudes and frequencies on dynamic spring rate are also shown. In this paper, actual vehicle tests are performed to study the effects of hysteretic characteristics of the large-sized truck's handling performance. The multi-leaf spring or the tapered leaf spring is used in the front suspension. The actual vehicle test is performed in a double lane change track with three velocities. Lateral acceleration, yaw rate and roll angle are measured using a gyro-meter located at the mass center of the cab. The test results showed that a large-sized truck with a tapered leaf spring needs to have an additional apparatus such as roll stabilizer bar to increase the roll stabilizer due to hysteretic characteristics.

  • In this paper, the developed trunk cargo unloading automation system is introduced, and the RGB-D sensor-based box loading situation recognition method and unloading plan applied to this system are suggested. First of all, it is necessary to recognize the position of the box in a truck. To do this, we first apply CNN-based YOLO, which can recognize objects in RGB images in real-time. Then, the normal vector of the center of the box is obtained using the depth image to reduce misrecognition in parts other than the box, and the inner wall of the truck in an image is removed. And a method of classifying the layers of the boxes according to the distance using the recognized depth information of the boxes is suggested. Given the coordinates of the boxes on the nearest layer, a method of generating the optimal path to take out the boxes the fastest using this information is introduced. In addition, kinematic analysis is performed to move the conveyor to the position of the box to be taken out of the truck, and kinematic analysis is also performed to control the robot arm that takes out the boxes. Finally, the effectiveness of the developed system and algorithm through a test bed is proved.

  • PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to validate the design criteria of the concrete modular road system, which is a new semi-bridge-type concept road, through a comparison of numerical analysis results and actual loading test results under static axial loads. METHODS : To design the semi-bridge-type modular road, both the bridge design code and the concrete structural design code were adopted. The standard truck load (KL-510) was applied as the major traffic vehicle for the design loading condition. The dimension of the modular slab was designed in consideration of self-weight, axial load, environmental load, and combined loads, with ultimate limit state coefficients. The ANSYS APDL (2010) program was used for case studies of center and edge loading, and the analysis results were compared with the actual mock-up test results. RESULTS : A full-scale mock-up test was successfully conducted. The maximum longitudinal steel strains were measured as about 35 and 83.5 micro-strain (within elastic range) at center and edge loading locations, respectively, under a 100 kN dual-wheel loading condition by accelerating pavement tester. CONCLUSIONS : Based on the results of the comparison between the numerical analysis and the full-scale test, the maximum converted stress range at the edge location is 32~51% of the required standard flexural strength under the two times over-weight loading condition. In the case of edge loading, the maximum converted stresses from the Westergaard equation, the ANSYS APDL analysis, and the mock-up test are 1.95, 1.7, and 2.3 times of that of the center loading case, respectively. The primary reason for this difference is related to the assumption of the boundary conditions of the vertical connection between the slab module and the crossbeam module. Even though more research is required to fully define the boundary conditions, the proposed design criteria for the concrete modular road finally seems to be reasonable.

  • In the process of oyster mushroom production, loading work of culture medium needs the most intensive labor power. Therefore, development of culture medium machine causes to reduce the manpower and cost. The main objective of this study is to develop the culture medium loading machine and investigate the optimal operation conditions and to evaluate the economic value of the machine. The results are summarized as follows: 1. Optimum transporting velocity of the conveyor was 0.61 m/s 2. Optimum speed of blower was 3183 rpm at the transporting velocity of 0.61 m/s with the loading quantity of 3.41 t/hr 3. Recommendable opening area ratio of pressure controller was 1/2 at the blower speed of 3183 rpm and the transporting velocity of 0.61 m/s 4. The break even point resulted in $240\;m^2$ of cultivating area compared to the method of with portable workbench, and $350\;m^2$ of cultivating area compared to the method of with a tractor and a truck.
