The purpose of this paper was to study on the attitudes about Reverse-Mortgage among Baby Boomers to offer the basis for revitalization of Reverse-Mortgage. Social survey research using a questionnaire was conducted among the babyboomer's living in Seoul area from September $30^{th}$ to October $14^{th}$. The data from 102 respondents were analyzed using SPSS PASW 18.0. The main findings were as followings 1) although 64% of the respondents prefered to type which could withdraw temporary cash, but main factor that affected the use was a stability in one's old age 2) 72% of respondents thought adequate age for application was over 66. So lowering the qualification of age looked not need for revitalization 3) babyboomer's said that they would use reverse-mortgage if they couldn't get benefit from other pension inspite of getting lower recognition on house inheritance. It was be cause they regarded Reverse-Mortgage as a final step. In conclusion, current qualification and limit for withdraw looks adequate but it need public relations about its merit unlike other pension. And it has to emphasize its stability so that baby boomer can feel easy from holding a mortgage on their house.

The purpose of this study is to identify U.S. Baby Boomers' intention to move and their reasons for moving after retirement, and to examine the associations between their socio-demographic characteristics and housing characteristics, and their reasons for moving after retirement factors. A total of 403 usable data were collected through an online survey using a self-administrated questionnaire. For data analyses, descriptive statistics, factor analysis, t-test, and ANOVA were used. Almost 30% of the total respondents considered moving and 15% were strongly agreed to move after their retirement. The most frequently mentioned reasons for moving after retirement were 'a place with good weather', 'being close to leisure activities', and 'a change or decline of my current neighborhood'. Four factors of reasons for moving after retirement (quality of residential environment, need assistant, proximity to activities, and proximity to family/friends) were identified. Age, marital status, number of household, housing type, homeownership, length of residence, and number of bedroom were significantly associated with the four factors of reasons for moving. The results of this study provide a better understanding to U.S. Baby Boomers' housing behavior after retirement which is 10 years faster than Korea, and suggest insights of housing plan for Korean older adults.

The purpose of this study was to develop improved strength of an arm and a boom on over-load environment, which causes damage in the initial design statement. To develop improved strength of an excavator front group, we calculated load conditions using the MATLAB program, and using these conditions, we performed a structural analysis of an excavator front group for the maximum digging force condition. Finally we performed a topology optimization to reduce weights of an arm and a boom, and we re-modeled an arm and a boom based on the topology design results and re-performed the structural analysis. The strength of the re-design is higher than the initial design but its weight is almost the same as the initial design.

The Aerial platform Truck is widely used for work in high place with the aerial platform. The most important thing is that worker's safety and worker must be able to work with trustworthiness so it needs to be verified its stiffness, deflection of boom, and dynamic condition concerned with a rollover accident. It should have an analytical exactitude because it is directly linked with the worker safety. In this point, we are trying to develop a proper CAE analysis model concerned with a rollover safety, bending stress and deflection for load. The Aerial platform Truck have a dynamic characteristics by load and moving of boom in the work field, so its static and dynamic strength analysis, structural mechanics are very important. Therefore, we evaluate the safety of each boom to calculating its stress, deflection. A computer simulation program is used widely for doing applying calculation of stiffness and structural mechanics, then finally trying to find a optimum design of the Aerial platform Truck.

The crawler crane, which consists of a lattice boom, a driving system, and movable vehicle, is widely used in a construction site. It needs to be installed an overload limiter to prevent the overturning accident and the fracture of structure. This research is undertaken to provide the relation formula for designing the overload limiter as follows: First the relation formulas between the wire-rope tension and the hoisting load or the overturning ratio according to the luffing angle and length of a lattice boom are established. Secondly the derived formulas are corrected by using the compensated angle considering the deflection of boom through the finite element analysis. The stiffness analysis is carried out for 30-kinds of models as a combination of 6-kinds of luffing angle and 5-kinds of length of boom. Finally the shape design of a stick type load cell, which is the device to measure the wire-rope tension, is performed. 5-kinds of notch radius and 5-kinds of center hole radius are adopted as the design parameter for the strength analysis of the load cell.

This study designed to develop a mower which can reach to side of a tractor or inclined road side and operate weeding. The prototype consists of 4 parts; the base and turning equipment, the boom, the arm, the weeder. The hydraulic actuators were divided into two operations, weeding and operation of boom and they were controlled by electrical equipment. Weeding was very effective when pressure set up at $15{\ell}/min$ using weeding, as $2.27kg{\cdot}m$, 2,210rpm. Weeding range of flail mower was 1.1 to 2.6m from the center of turning equipment at a flat. In case of disk mower, it was 1.5 to 2m. As a result of operation test, flail mower was appropriate for weeding at fence and short weeds, disk mower was appropriate for long weeds.

The purpose of this study was to identify how social relationships and family relationships were associated with the life satisfaction of married female baby boomers who live in Busan and Gyeongnam province. This study included community sample of 499 female baby boomers who were married and had at least one child. Participants reported lower levels of life satisfaction. A hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to investigate the effects of the following variables on the female baby boomers' life satisfaction: subjective health, educational level, monthly household income, employment status, perceived size of social network, participation in leisure organizations, participation in voluntary associations, satisfaction with children, and marital satisfaction. Except employment status and participation in leisure organizations, other 7 variables were significantly and positively associated with the life satisfaction of married female baby boomers. In particular, marital satisfaction had the strongest effect on life satisfaction, followed by satisfaction with children. The results suggested family played a primary role in the life of married female baby boomers. Family life education program~ female baby boomers, their children and husbands need to be developed and offered in order to improve the life satisfaction of female baby boomers.

In the performance test for wind turbines of medium and large, The reference met-mast should be installed for measurement reference wind speed as IEC 61400-12-1 standards and design of booms for mounted an anemometer must be considered exactly. Boom-mounted cup anemometer are influenced by flow distortion of the mast and the boom. Therefore design of booms must be important so that flow distortion due to booms should be kept below 0.5%. But, in some cases at size of met-mast structure, the distance of boom from mast is longer then measurement of wind speed is impossible because of oscillation of boom-mounted anemometer. In this paper, We measured a wind speed at several point from mast and boom and we analyzed the error of wind speed at each point of measurement. Also, we will suggest a correction method using the data curve fitting about errors of wind speed between each point of mounted anemometer.

This paper presents the improved procedure to assess static and dynamic strength of crawler type excavators. A fully integrated model including front attachment and chassis was prepared for structural analysis. In this paper, two types of loading input methods were investigated and the method imposing digging force directly on bucket tooth was more convenient than imposing cylinder reaction force on cylinder pin even if the two methods showed no discrepancy in analysis results. Static strength analysis was carried out for eight analysis scenarios based on two extreme digging positions, maximum digging reach position and maximum digging force positions. The results from static strength analysis were compared with measured stresses, cylinder pressures and digging forces and showed a good quantitative agreement with measured data. Dynamic strength analysis was carried out for simple reciprocation of boom cylinders. It was recognized that the effect of compressive stiffness of hydraulic oil was very important for dynamic structural behavior. The results from dynamic strength analysis including hydraulic oil stiffness were also compared with measured acceleration data and showed a qualitative agreement with measured data.
