The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of bridging using Swiss ball, whole body vibration (WBV), and mat on trunk and lower extremity muscle activity and postural stability. The results were as follows: 1) EMG activity of internal oblique increased significantly in WBV condition compared with mat condition (p<.05). 2) EMG activity of rectus femoris and medial gastrocnemius increased significantly in Swiss ball condition and WBV condition compared with mat condition (p<.05). 3) The muscle activity of medial hamstrings increased significantly in Swiss ball condition compared with mat condition (p<.05). 4) The limit of stability in three groups increased significantly in all directions after 4-week intervention (p<.05). 5). There were no significant differences in the limit of stability among three groups after 4-week intervention (p>.05). Therefore the trunk and lower extremity muscle activity increased in Swiss ball and WBV conditions, and postural stability was improved in three groups after intervention period.

In construction of a structure in underground space, in-situ stress in rock mass has great effect on the stability of the structure. Especially, the direction and magnitude of rock stress have influence on the excavation method, the choice of support and reinforcement method for establishing the stability of tunnel. Therefore, it is very important to consider the characteristics of in-situ stress in rock mass for tunnel stability analysis. In this study, a reasonable design method for underground structure was reviewed through the case study for tunnel design considering in-situ rock stress. For this purpose, the estimation for SRF (Stress Reduction Factor) as input parameter in rock classification using Q-System and the assesment for tunnel support were studied. Also, considering the characteristics of in-situ rock stress such as the magnitude of K and the direction of principal stress, the parameter studies for tunnel stability analysis were carried out. An improved method was proposed for obtaining the better results in the tunnel stability analysis.

This paper describes the modeling data and final analysis results of rotor resonance, rotor aeroelastic stability and whirl flutter stability for Smart UAV (SUAV). The effects of wing beamwise, chordwise and torsional stiffness on the whirl flutter stability were investigated considering the possibility of design change of SUAV wing structure. The parametric study showed that wing torsional and beamwise stiffness changes have much stronger influence on the wing mode damping than chordwise stiffness. It was analytically demonstrated that the final designed rotor system is aeroelastically stable and free from resonance, and that rotor/pylon/wing system of SUAV TR-S4 has enough rotor stability and whirl flutter stability margin.

This study is to develop a vehicle Integrated Dynamics Control System(IDCB) that can stabilize the lateral dynamics and maintain steerability. To accomplish this task, an eight degree of freedom vehicle model and a nonlinear observer are designed. The IDCB independently controls the brake systems of four wheels with a fuzzy logic control and a sliding model control. The result shows that the nonlinear observer produced satisfactory results. IDCB tracked the reference yaw rate and reduced the body slip angle under all tested conditions. It indicates that the IDCB enhanced lateral stability and preserved steerability.

This paper addresses a method to compute the closest approach distance between two ellipsoids in their inter-center direction. This is the key technique for collision detection and response between ellipsoids. We formulate a set of conditions with the inter-center distance, the contact point and the contact normal vector of the two externally-contacting ellipsoids. The equations are solved robustly and efficiently using a hybrid of Newton's method and the bisection method with root bracketing. We demonstrate the robustness and efficiency of the proposed method in various experiments.

전단변형 효과를 무시하는 경우에 비대칭 선형 변단면을 갖는 박벽 공간 보의 안정성 해석을 위한 일반이론을 유도한다. 비대칭 선형 변단면의 임의점을 통과하는 부재축과 단면의 주축의 방향과 무관하고 부재축과 직각을 이루는 두 개의 좌표축을 도입하여 직각좌표계를 정의한다. 정의된 좌표축을 기준으로 유한한 회전각의 2차항을 고려하는 변위장을 도입하여 연속체에 대한 가상일의 원리로부터 탄성변형에너지, 그리고 초기응력에 의한 포텐셜에너지를 유도한다. 이를 이용하여 비대칭 선형 변단면을 갖는 박벽 공간 보의 안정성해석을 위한 평형방정식을 제시한다. 3차 Hermitian 다항식을 변위파라미터의 형상함수로 사용하여 박벽 공간 보의 탄성강도 및 기하강도행렬을 상정할 뿐만 아니라, 단면의 좌표축에 상관없이 임의의 위치에 작용하는 하중에 대한 하중보정강도행렬(load-correction stiffness matrix)을 제시한다. 본 이론 및 방법의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 수치해석을 수행하고 문헌의 결과 및 쉘요소를 사용한 해석결과와 비교하여 본 이론의 정당성을 입증한다.

복합재료는 강도-무게비가 다른 재료들에 비해 훨씬 크기 때문에 부재의 좌굴문제가 대단히 중요하게 취급되며, 본 논문에서는 축방향 압축력을 받는 복합재료로 된 쉘 부재의 좌굴해석이 수행된다. 이 재료는 일반적으로 이방성 재료 특성을 나타내 보이나, 섬유들이 한 방향으로만 배치되어 있는 경우 섬유방향에 연직한 평면에서의 강도나 탄성계수들은 모두 일정한 횡 등방성 재료성질을 가진 것으로 간주할 수 있다. 9 절점 degenerate 쉘 유한요소를 사용한 선형안정해석, LUSAS 범용 프로그램을 이용한 구조해석, 그리고 고전적 쉘 좌굴방정식에 의한 해석들을 수행하였으며, 그 결과들을 서로 비교, 분석하였다. 고려된 등방성 재료나 횡 등방성 재료의 경우 모두, degenerate 유한요소해석으로 계산한 임계하중들은 고전적 이론해에 의한 결과들 보다 낮았으며, LUSAS 결과들과는 거의 같았다. 이는 degenerate 유한요소에 의한 선형안정해석 결과들이 안전측에 듬을 의미하며, 복합재료로 된 쉘 구조물의 좌굴해석에 degenerate 유한요소를 효율적으로 적용할 수 있음을 의미한다.

In this study, we evaluated the slope stability of the Pohang Daljeon-ri columnar joint (Natural Monuments # 415) and calculated the maximum energy, jumping height and moving distance of rockfalls using a simulation. Based on the results, we established the range of rockfall risk. The slopes of the Pohang Daljeon-ri columnar joint have dip directions of 93.79°, 131.99°, 165.54° and 259.84° from left (SW) to right (NE). Furthermore, they have a fan-like shape. The Pohang Daljeon-ri columnar joints are divided into four sections depending on the dip direction. The measurement results of the discontinuous face show that zone 1 is 125, zone 2 is 261, zone 3 is 262, zone 4 is 43. The results of slope stability analyses for each section using a stereographic projection method correspond to the range of planar and toppling failure. Although it is difficult to diagnose the type of failure, risk evaluation of currently falling rocks requires further focus. The maximum movement distance of a rockfall in the simulation was approximately 66 m and the rockfall risk range was the entire area under slope. In addition, it is difficult to forecast where a rock will fall as it rolls in various directions due to topographic factors. Thus, the installation of measures to prevent falling is suggested to secure the stability based on the results of the rockfall simulations and its probabilistic analysis.
