This paper attempts to develop a connection model based on FE analysis that can be applied to the evaluation of earthquake fragility of Steel Storage Racks lacking research in Korea. In order to accomplish this goal, shaking table tests, modal tests, and various member tests (8 case, push-over test) for structural members have been conducted to understand the behavior of steel storage racks. Based on the experimental results, detailed modeling of the joints was conducted using the NX-Nastran program in order to develop a connection model for Steel storage racks to be applied to the seismic vulnerability assessment. Especially, surface to surface contact element and spring element are applied to simulate the connection between the column member and the beam member connected by the simple latch method. Spring element model developed and applied ARX (Auto Regressive eXogenous) based mathematical model. The simulation results based on the FE model showed excellent reliability with a mutual error rate of less than 8% when compared with the member test results. As a result, it was confirmed that the FE model based connection model developed in the study can be applied to the analytical model for the seismic vulnerability assessment of Steel storage racks.

The use of a concrete track is gradually growing in urban and high-speed railways in many part of the world. The resilient pad, which is essentially when concrete tracks are used, plays the important role of relieving the impact caused by train loads. The simple fatigue test[1] to estimate the variable stiffness of resilient pads is usually performed, but it differs depending on the practical conditions of different railways. In this study, the static stiffness levels of used resilient pads according to passing tonnages levels were measured in laboratory tests. Also, the simple fatigue test and the multi-stress accelerated degradation test for new resilient pads were performed in a laboratory. The static stiffness of the used pad was compared with the results of tests of usage times and cycles. The results of the comparison showed that the variable static stiffness levels of the used pad were similar to results of the multi-stress accelerated degradation test considering the fatigue and heat load. With a T-NT equation related to the degree of the multi-stress accelerated degradation, a model of multi-stress accelerated degradation for a resilient pad was devised. It was found through this effort that the total acceleration factor was approximately 2.62. Finally, this study proposes an equation for a multi-stress accelerated degradation model for polyurethane resilient pads.

The Purpose of this study was to investigate the stress distribution and tooth displacement at the initial phase produced by 5 types of molar uprighting springs using finite element method. The three dimensional finite element model of lower dentition, bone and springs was composed of 5083 elements and 2071 nodes. The results were as follows: 1. In case of helical spring and root spring, intrusion of lower canine and first premolar were observed md distal tipping, translation and extrusion of lower second molar were observed. 2. In case of T-loop, modified T-loop and box loop, intrusion and distal translation of lower second premolar were observed, and the largest crown distal tipping and translation of lower second molar were observed in T-loop and the smallest were observed in box loop. 3. In case of T-loop with cinch-bact crown distal tipping and translation of lower second molar were decreased, but extrusion was also decreased. 4. With increase of activation in T-loop, mesial translation and won distal tipping of lower second molar were increased and edentulous space was closing, but distal translation of second premolar was also increased. 5. With increase of tip-back bend in T--loop, distal tipping and translation of lower second molar were increased, but extrusion was also increased more largely.

Electrosurgical knee wand (EKW) is a high-frequency thermocautery instrument and is often used for coagulation, ablation, excision, and extirpation of knee ligaments and tissues. In order to maximize the success rate, ease, and safety of knee surgery using EKW and radiofrequency ablation, it is necessary to ensure that the EKW selectively approaches the lesion with utmost accuracy and safety. The key feature of this instrument is its excellent maneuverability. Hence, the authors constructed a tensile spring model based on a shape memory alloy (SMA), which exhibits the shape memory effect. This model can be used in knee surgery as it is considered the most biocompatible femorotibial surgical actuator. The changes in external temperature with current and the thermoelectric characteristics of the SMA were investigated. The relationship between the restoring force and the typical stroke (TS) in response to the conditions in the SMA tensile spring design were evaluated. In conclusion, as the diameter of the SMA tensile spring decreased, the maximum temperature increased. The strain in the actuator caused a stable and proportional increase in the force and induced current for up to 15s, but this increase became very unstable after 30s. Moreover, the relationship between the current and the TS was more stable than that between the current and the restoring force.

This paper proposes a 3D fashion design system that generates a 3D clothes model by using 2D patterns of clothes and drapes the 3D clothes model on a 3D human model. In the proposed system, 2D patterns of clothes are designed by selecting comer points of 2D mesh. After designing 2D patterns, a 3D clothes model is designed by describing the control points to be connected between 2D patterns. The proposed system reads a 3D human body model file and the designed 3D clothes model and creates a 3D human model putting on the clothes by using the mass-spring model based physical simulation. It calculates collision and reaction between the triangles of human body model and those of clothes for realistic simulation. Because the number of triangles is very large, the collision and reaction processing need a lot of time. To solve this problem, the proposed system decreases the number of collision and reaction processing by using the Octree space subdivision technique. It took a few seconds for generating a 3D human model putting on the designed 3D clothes.

최근 중 저압용 진공 차단기의 구동 메커니즘으로 영구자석형 조작기(PMA)가 널리 사용되고 있다. 이는 모터 스프링이나 유압 및 공압식 등과 같은 기계식 메커니즘에 비해 성능과 신뢰성에서 우수함을 인정받고 있다. 그러나 기존 영구자석형 조작기에서는 가동자와 영구 자석 사이의 큰 마찰력으로 인한 에너지 손실과 차단부와의 연결 로드에서의 기계적 고장 및 파손이 유발될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 가동자의 로드에 베어링 타입의 부싱을 장착한 모델을 제안함으로써 이 문제를 해결하고자 한다. 부싱을 이용하여 영구 자석과 가동자 사이의 공극을 확보함으로써 마찰을 감소시키고 기계적 안정성 및 동작 특성 향상을 기대할 수 있다. 유한요소법(FEM)과 시간차분법(TDM)을 이용하여 제안된 모델의 동작 특성을 해석하였고, 이를 기존 모델의 특성과 비교하여 그 우수성을 검증한다.

Developed in this paper a mass-spring engine to represent and manipulate deformable objects. The deformable object model is a basic technology in the ‘Tangible Space Initiative’. The mass-spring model consists of structural, shear and bending springs. Various forces like external, friction, gravity, spring, and damping forces are considered and collision with planes and spheres are treated. When a sphere collide mass-spring model, mass-spring engine calculates external force to interface mass-spring model. A prototype system is implemented in C on an MS windows machine.

전편의 실험적 연구에 이어서, 기 수행된 4개의 외부 접합부 시험체에 현존하는 여러 강도 예측식을 사용하여 콘크리트 기둥-강재 보 접합부의 내진 성능을 결정하는 패널 전단 및 지압 강도를 평가하였다. 또한, 접합부 패널지역의 변형특성을 묘사할 수 있는 일련의 스프링을 사용한 macro 형태의 해석모델이 논의되었으며, 이에 따라 Drain-2DX 및 IDARC 등의 상용프로그램을 사용하여 접합부의 패널전단 및 지압 파괴형태의 변형을 포함하는 단순해석이 수행되었다. 강도 예측결과에 의하면 본 연구에서 제시하는 수정된 내부 콘크리트 패널 전단 강도식을 포함하고 있는 ASCE 방법이 실험결과에 가장 근접한 것으로 나타났으며, 본 연구에서 검토된 패널지역 변형을 고려한 단순해석모델은 향후 전체 건물해석에 사용할수 있는 것으로 판단되었다.

전자기력을 이용한 능동 진동제어는 1979년 Ellis 및 Mote가 원형 톱의 횡 진동의 감쇠에 관한 연구를 수행하였고, 1990년 Hong Su 및 T.S.Sankar등은 시스템의 절대 위치, 절대 속도 및 상대 위치 등의 제어 변수에 대하여 전자기 액튜에이터의 동적 특성이 진동 절연 성능에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구를 하였다. 본 연구는 상부질량과 하부질량이 스프링으로 연결된 2자유도 모델의 능동 진동제어에 대하여 이론해석과 실험해석을 수행하고 각각의 결과를 비교하였다. 실험모델은 직선운동 가이드에 설치된 2개의 질량과 하나의 전자기 액튜에이터를 이용하였다. 진동제어 방법으로서는 모우드 해석에 의한 제어, 스카이 훅 감쇠 제어, Viscous damping 제어 방법을 적용하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 이론해석 결과와 실험 결과를 비교하고 비슷한 제어효과에 대해서 에너지 소비가 작은 효율적인 제어방법을 찾는데 있다.

980년대로부터 컴퓨터 그래픽스 분야에서 의상의 자연스러운 움직임을 생성하기 위한 연구가 계속되어 왔다. 유한요소 연속체 모델, 질량-스프링 모델과 같은 물리학적 모델이 등장하고, 수치적 적분법과 정확한 충돌 검사 및 반응처리를 접목하여 그럴듯한 옷감의 움직임을 얻을 수 있게 되었다. 그러나 이들 연구는 대개 표준적 모양 변형을 다루었기에, 두께, 질감, 빳빳한 정도 등 소재의 특성에 따른 차이를 묘사할 수 없었다. 본 논문에서는 의류학을 통해 연구되어온 직물들의 소재특성을 조사분석하고, 시뮬레이션 된 가상 옷감과 실제 옷감의 시각적 유사성 평가를 통한 직물들의 특성 파라미터 추출법을 제안하고 실험하였다. 그 결과 대표적인 옷감 종류에 따라 구별되는 애니메이션 패턴을 생성 할 수 있었다.
