In this research, a material test machine is developed which uses a small electro-magnetic actuator and a leverage mechanism. The leverage mechanism amplifies the force from the electro-magnetic actuator. The electro-magnetic part operates more silently and cleanly than a hydraulic part. In a tooth material study, a test machine does not require a large force capacity because it handles only $4mm^2$-sectioned and short-span specimens. Conventional test machines such as those by Instron and the BOSE Enduratec ELF3200 have too high aforce capacity for a tooth material study. A test machine for a tooth material study requires an acting force only on the order of tens of Newtons (N) operating at several Hertz.

The purpose of this study was to develop the force measuring device of learning wind tunnel, teaching-learning materials in order to enhance understanding of flight principle and give interest about aviation technology in secondary school. The content of this study was consisted of the development and experiment of force measuring device for learning wind tunnel. The main results of this study were as follows: This device developed here is simple structure applying lever principle instead of the comparatively expensive load cell used in engineering college or a aviation research institute and so on. Measurement of lift and drag as well as the comparison experiment of a fluid resistance is possible with only one device developed here. The lift coefficient with angle of attack has shown the same tendency in both of theoretical and experimental values. And the stall phenomenon was found under the larger angle of attack of experimental rather than expected theoretical values. The drag coefficient with angle of attack has shown the same tendency in both of theoretical and experimental values. And drag coefficient the rate of increasement of the experimental values increased more gently than its theoretical values.

In this paper, we design a wedge type rail clamp which can protect container crane from wind with constant clamping force regardless of the operating period. When we design wedge type rail clamp. it is important to determine the angle of wedge and analyze a contact condition of roller and wedge so that we might develop a rail clamp with variable capacity. Therefore, this paper suggest a process to decide wedge angles within feasible range which could be obtained using load analysis and FEA of wedge type rail clamp.

A 6-DOF precision stage was developed based on parallel kinematics structure with flexure hinges to eliminate backlash, stick-slip and friction and to minimize parasitic motion coupled with motions in the other-axis directions. For the stage, lever linkage mechanism was devised to reduce the height of system for the enhancement of horizontal stiffness. Frequency response comparison between experimental results and mathematical model extracted from dynamics of the stage was performed to identify the system parameters such as spring constants and damping coefficients of actuation modules, which cannot be calculated accurately by analytic methods owing to their complicated structures. This newly developed precision stage and its identified model will be very useful for precision positioning and control because of its high accuracy and non-coupled movement.
