Dimensional Synthesis, which is apart of kinematic synthesis, is to determine the dimensions of a mechanism of preconceived typer for a specified task and prescribed performance. In this paper, in an effort to provide designers with flexibility, a dimensional approximate synthesis method is presented for utilizing prescribed tolerance both the displacement and joint positions of a mechanism to be synthesized. For this, a constrained optimization problem is formulated with displacement parameters and joint positions as variables. The proposed method is applied to the synthesis of a 5-SS multi link suspension mechanism. The method discussed here, however, can be easily applied to any mechanism of which the kinematic constraint equations can be derived.

This paper presents an approximate synthesis of 5-SS multi link suspension for 2 D.O.F motions. In the proposed synthesis method, alteration curves of camber, toe, kingpin and caster angles are optimized during the bump rebound and the steering motions. And joint positions can be located within desired boundari es. Especially, steering motions are considered for control of kingpin offset and caster trail. Prescribed motions contain both wheel center positions and imaginary kingpin axes in the multi link type suspension. Constraint equations are formulated with di splacement matrix and velocity matrix using instantaneous screw axis.

In synthesizing and RSSS-SC mechanism that is the kinematic model of the McPherson strut suspension system in automobiles, the design equations for R-S, S-S and S-C dyads should be solved separately for a given set of prescribed positions. The number of prescribed positions that the RSSS-SC mechanism can be synthesized is up to three because of the S-C dyad. This limitation may cause unsatisfactory results in synthesized joint positions. This paper presents a kinematic synthesis method to place the joints of an RSSS-SC mechanism in desired boundaries by varying the prescribed positions of the mechanism within acceptable tolerances. The sensitivity analysis of the joint positions is used determine which displacement parameter should be altered to fulfill this task.

The 4-bar linkage is the simplest model for the simulation of a retractable landing gear. In general, a designer uses a commercial software to design a linkage, which requires tedious iterations to obtain a good solution. By applying synthesis methodology the iteration process can be reduced remarkably. However, most of solutions obtained using synthesis process may not be an optimized solution. In this study, the characteristics of the optimization solution domain has been analyzed so that an optimization process can be adapted easily to a synthesis process.

A method for the classification of kinematic chains according to the similarity in their structures is proposed. Classifcation code is defined from the contracted graph of the kinematic chain. This method of classifying kinematic chains can be effectively used for the systematic enumeration of structurally distinct kinematic chains given the number of links and degrees of freedom of the kinematic chains. Two separate steps for the enumeration are developed in the study. The first step is to generated all the possible classification codes and the next step is to generate individual kinematic chains belonging to each classification code generated. Using this two step procedure, kinematic chains up to 12 links are successfully enumerated in the present study. It is concluded that the two step method can be efficiently used for the type synthesis of mechanisms.

바이오트라이보로지(biotribology)란 생물학(biology)와 마찰학(tribology)의 합성어로서 그리이스어의 $\tau\rhoc\betao\sigma$(마찰하다)가 어원이며, 마찰 마모 윤활의 학술 용어 "tribology"가 영어로 된것은 1966년이다. 이때 마찰학이란 이학 또는 공학현상으로서 문제를 해석하는데 한정하였고 생물에 대한 문제까지 광범위하게 고려하지 못하였다. 1972년 영국 석유학회, 기계학회 그리고 Rheology 학회의 공동개최로 "윤활제의 레올로지" 회의가 열렸다. 거기서 Dowson 교수(기계공학)와 Right 교수(루마치스 의학)의 공동논문 "Bio-Tribology"를 발표해서 처음으로 그 용어를 제안하였다. Dowson 교수가 열거했던 바이오트라이보로지의 대상은 다음과 같다.

A R-S-S-R three dimensional mechanism is designed for crank-rocker type through the optimization technique. The nonlinear kinematic equation of the mechanism is formulated by adopting the concept of structural error and precision points. Taking this equation as an objective function, the required mechanism is optimally synthesized by the Fletcher-Davidon-Powell's method of optimization techniques. The structural errors due to the various positions of precision points are compared, and the results from the use of two penalty functions suggested respectively by Fiacco-McCormick and by Powell are also compared on their effectiveness. The mobility of the optimally designed mechanism is checked for the possibility of its motion, and when a mechanism is optimally designed, it is strongly suggested that the mobility must be checked on the designed mechanism.

The main objective of this study is to develop a gripper mechanism that can be employed for assembly and removal tasks of a nozzle-dam of steam gererator which is one of the nuclear reactor maintenance process. Brief description of the open-close type gripper mechanism, its postion analysis, and its kinematic amalysis are given. The optimal design of the gripper mechanism with slipping on its two gripping surfaces is considered. As an optimaldesign index, the ratio of the actuator force of prismatic cylinder to gripping load is proposed. Then, based on this index the optimal design synthesis is careied out to identify values of optimal design parameters for the gripper mechanism.

The cell wall is essential for the survival and osmotic integrity of fungal cells. It is the framework to which biologically active proteins such as cell adhesion molecules and hydrolytic enzymes are attached or within which they act. Recently it was shown that mutations in ${\alpha}-COP$, a subunit of COPI vesicle, is responsible for the thermo-sensitive osmo-fragile phenotype of fungi, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Aspergillus nidulans, and suggested that ${\alpha}-COP$ may play a crucial role in translocation of protein(s) of the ${\beta}-1,3-gulcan$ synthase complex and cell wall proteins, thus may contribute to the maintenance of cell wall integrity. In this review, we summarized the relationship between the intra-cellular protein translocation machinery, especially the ${\alpha}-COP$ of COPI vesicle, and cell wall biogenesis in fungi. We also discussed potential use of secretory mutants in basic and applied research of the fungal cell walls.
