Agricultural products can be damaged due to the vibration of transporting trailer on the off-road. So, this study was conducted to identify the vibration characteristics of the agricultural products transporting trailer by measuring the vertical acceleration according to positions on the trailer loaded with agricultural products. The results of this study can be summarized as follows: 1. At non-operating state of engine, the larger vertical acceleration was occurred at rear side compared with front side in the case of 4.5Hz of vibration frequency. But, in the case of 53.5Hz of frequency, the maximum vertical acceleration at front side of trailer was higher than value at rear side. So, the maximum acceleration at front side of the trailer was increased with the increase in frequency. 2. At operating state of engine, the maximum vertical acceleration at front side of the trailer was increased with the increase in frequency. 2 At operating state of engine, the maximum vertical acceleration delivered through the hitch from the engine was occurred at front side of the trailer as $3.0\times10^{-3}m/s^2$, in the case of 8.75Hz of frequency. But, in the case of 102.5Hz of high frequency, the maximum vertical acceleration was occurred at rear side of the trailer. 3. When the power tiller loaded with pear of 325kg was travelling on the artificial uneven road of 3cm height, the maximum acceleration was occurred at rear side of the trailer as $4.7\times10^{-3}m/s^2$at 3.75Hz of frequency. But, that was occurred at diagonal of the trailer 43.5Hz and 91.25Hz, which meant that there was rolling and pitching on the trailer. 4. At operating state of engine, the mean acceleration of the trailer delivered through the hitch according to the increase in frequencies was showed the maximum value at range of 40-90Hz. At rear side of traiㅣer, the maximum value was occurred at about 40Hz, and that was reduced according to the increase in frequencies and diminished at about 100Hz. 5. When the power tiller loaded with pear of 32.5kg was travelling on the artificial uneven road of 3cm height, the mean acceleration by the increase in frequencies was showed lower level at rear side than front side of the trailer. This was opposite configuration to the Hinsch’s results tested with air-conditioned truck. This means that the shorter length of the trailer, the more effect of engine vibration is transferred to the front side of trailer.

하이브리드 음향센서 (hybrid acoustic sensor)는 음압 기반의 음향센서 (ECM)와 진동 기반의 가속도 센서(acceleration sensor)가 접목된 구조이다. 이는 음향센서의 저주파 대역 감도와 가속도 센서의 고주파 대역 감도를 결합하여 저주파에서 고주파 대역까지 광범위하게 음향을 포집할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 하이브리드 음향센서에 사용되는 가속도 센서를 제안하였다. 가속도 센서는 음향신호에 의해 발생되는 고막의 진동을 포집한다. 제안된 가속도 센서의 사이즈는 고막의 해부학적 구조와 음향센서인 ECM의 규격을 고려하여 직경 3.2 mm로 결정하였다. 그리고 하이브리드 음향센서가 고감도 광대역 특성을 가지도록 하기 위해서는 가속도 센서의 공진 주파수는 3.5 kHz 부근에서 생성되는 것을 목표로 하였다. 가속도 센서를 구성하는 진동막은 수학적 모델과 유한요소 해석을 통하여 기하학적 구조를 도출하였다. 이를 바탕으로 화학적 식각공정을 이용하여 진동막을 제작하였다. 그리고 제작된 진동막의 주파수 특성을 확인하기 위하여 외력에 의한 진동 측정 실험을 수행하였고, 실험 결과 진동막의 기계적 공진은 3.4 kHz에서 발생되었다. 그러므로 제안한 가속도 센서는 하이브리드 음향센서에 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 고속도로 졸음쉼터의 진 출입 차량 주행속도 조사를 통해 졸음쉼터 가 감속차로 길이, 설치위치의 종단경사 및 곡선반경이 주행차량에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 또한, 졸음쉼터 적정 가 감속차로 길이 산정을 위해, VISSM을 활용하여 진출입부 길이 별 시나리오를 구축하고, 가 감속차로를 이용하는 차량의 개별차량 주행궤적 자료를 추출하여 차량의 감속 및 가속도의 표준 편차를 산출하였다. 주행속도 조사 결과 졸음쉼터 설치위치의 곡선반경 및 종단경사에 따른 속도차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으며 무엇보다 가 감속차로 길이에 따른 차량 간의 속도차이가 크게 나타났다. 특히 가 감속차로 길이가 짧게 설치된 졸음쉼터의 경우 차량 간의 속도차이가 큰 것으로 조사되었으며 차량이 졸음쉼터 진입 시 충분히 감속을 하지 못하고 진입하거나 졸음쉼터 이용 후 본선 진입 시 충분히 가속을 하지 못한 채로 본선에 진입하는 것으로 조사되어 위험성이 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 가 감속차로 길이에 따른 시뮬레이션 분석결과 진입부의 경우 245m 이상의 감속차로 길이 확보가 필요할 것으로 분석되었으며, 가속차로의 경우 370m 이상으로 설치하였을 때 안전한 진출이 가능한 것으로 분석되었다.

Nonthermal particles can be produced due to incomplete thermalization at collisionless shocks and further accelerated to very high energies via diffusive shock acceleration. In a previous study we explored the cosmic ray (CR) acceleration at cosmic shocks through numerical simulations of CR modified, quasi-parallel shocks in 1D plane-parallel geometry with the physical parameters relevant for the shocks emerging in the large scale structure formation of the universe (Kang & Jones 2002). Specifically we considered pancake shocks driven by accretion flows with $U_o = 1500 km\;s^{-l}$ and the preshock gas temperature of $T_o = 10^4 - 10^8K$. In order to consider the CR acceleration at shocks with a broader range of physical properties, in this contribution we present additional simulations with accretion flows with $U_o = 75 - 1500 km\;s^{-l}$ and $T_o = 10^4K$. We also compare the new simulation results with those reported in the previous study. For a given Mach number, shocks with higher speeds accelerate CRs faster with a greater number of particles, since the acceleration time scale is $t_{acc}\;{\propto}\;U_o^{-2}$. However, two shocks with a same Mach number but with different shock speeds evolve qualitatively similarly when the results are presented in terms of diffusion length and time scales. Therefore, the time asymptotic value for the fraction of shock kinetic energy transferred to CRs is mainly controlled by shock Mach number rather than shock speed. Although the CR acceleration efficiency depends weakly on a well-constrained injection parameter, $\epsilon$, and on shock speed for low shock Mach numbers, the dependence disappears for high shock Mach numbers. We present the 'CR energy ratio', ${\phi}(M_s)$, for a wide range of shock parameters and for $\epsilon$ = 0.2 - 0.3 at terminal time of our simulations. We suggest that these values can be considered as time-asymptotic values for the CR acceleration efficiency, since the time-dependent evolution of CR modified shocks has become approximately self-similar before the terminal time.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to show differences in impact variables between treadmills with (treadmills B, C, and D) and treadmills without a shock-absorbing function (treadmill A) to propose the development of a treadmill with improved or added shock-absorbing function to reduce impact shock. Method: Thirteen male students in their twenties who had habitual rear foot strike during running ran on four treadmills at 2.67 m/sec while ankle and neck acceleration data were collected. The magnitude of the ankle and neck acceleration peaks and peak positive ankle acceleration were calculated. The power spectral density of each signal was calculated to transform the ankle and neck accelerations in the frequency domain. Results: The peak positive ankle acceleration on treadmill B was significantly lesser than that on treadmills A and D, and that on treadmill C was significantly less than that on treadmill A (p < .01). Peak positive neck acceleration was not statistically different between the treadmills. The frequencies of the peak power of the ankle and neck acceleration signal within the lower and higher frequency ranges were not statistically different between the treadmills. The signal power magnitude of the ankle in higher frequency ranges on treadmill B was significantly less than that on treadmills A, C, and D (p < .01). The signal power magnitude of the ankle in higher frequency ranges was not statistically different between the treadmills. The signal power magnitudes of the neck acceleration signal within the lower and higher frequency ranges were not statistically significantly different between the treadmills. Conclusion: Our results indicate that the shock-absorbing function of a treadmill plays a role in reducing impact shock. Therefore, in future treadmill development, shock-absorbing function should be improved or incorporated to reduce impact shock to the body.

Objectives: By introduced reciprocation motion file in dentistry, dentists benefit simple canal shaping procedure and time-saving. But, reciprocation motion generates uncomfortable vibration to doctors and patients. Because there was no study about this consideration, this study compared vibration pattern and power generated from reciprocation motion motor and conventional rotary motor. Materials & Methods: One conventional rotary motor; X-Smart (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland); and two reciprocating motors; WaveOne Motor (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) and X-SMART PLUS (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland); were used in this study. Triaxial $ICP^{(R)}$ Accelerometer (Model 356A12, PCB piezotronics, New York, USA) was attached on motor's handpiece head, and was measured tri-axial vibratory acceleration with NI Sound and Vibration Assistant 2009 software (National Instruments, Texas, USA). Mean vibratory acceleration and maximum vibratory acceleration was measured on fixed position and handed position. The results of vibratory acceleration were statistically analyzed using ANOVA and multiple comparisons are made using Turkey's test at p<0.05 level. Results: Reciprocating motors showed higher mean vibratory acceleration and maximum vibratory acceleration than conventional rotary motor (p<0.05). Between reciprocating motors, X-SMART PLUS had lower mean vibratory acceleration and maximum vibratory acceleration than WaveOne Motor (p<0.05). Conclusion: Reciprocating motors generate more vibration than conventional rotary motor. Further study about effect of vibration to dentist and patient is needed. And it seems to be necessary to make a standard about vibration level in endodontic motors.

The coarse mesh finite difference (CMFD) method is applied to the discontinuous finite element method based discrete ordinate calculation for source convergence acceleration. The three-dimensional (3-D) DFEM-Sn code FEDONA is developed for general geometry applications as a framework for the CMFD implementation. Detailed methods for applying the CMFD acceleration are established, such as the method to acquire the coarse mesh flux and current by combining unstructured tetrahedron elements to rectangular coarse mesh geometry, and the alternating calculation method to exchange the updated flux information between the CMFD and DFEM-Sn. The partial current based CMFD (p-CMFD) is also implemented for comparison of the acceleration performance. The modified p-CMFD method is proposed to correct the weakness of the original p-CMFD formulation. The performance of CMFD acceleration is examined first for simple two-dimensional multigroup problems to investigate the effect of the problem and coarse mesh sizes. It is shown that smaller coarse meshes are more effective in the CMFD acceleration and the modified p-CMFD has similar effectiveness as the standard CMFD. The effectiveness of CMFD acceleration is then assessed for three-dimensional benchmark problems such as the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) and C5G7MOX problems. It is demonstrated that a sufficiently converged solution is obtained within 7 outer iterations which would require 175 iterations with the normal DFEM-Sn calculations for the IAEA problem. It is claimed that the CMFD accelerated DFEM-Sn method can be effectively used in the practical eigenvalue calculations involving general geometries.

본 연구에서는 차량 가속음에 대한 운전자와 탑승객의 지각적 차이를 평가하였다. 주관 평가를 통해 가속음의 크기에 따라 성가심과 스포티함의 지각 정도에 큰 차이가 있음을 발견하였다. 주관 평가는 주행 영상, 모션, 진동, 소리를 재현할 수 있는 멀티모달 시뮬레이터를 기반으로 가속음의 크기를 3 dB씩 5 단계로 변화시켜 지각되는 성가심과 스포티함이 평가되도록 설계되었다. 실험 결과 성가심과 스포티함의 지각 강도는 운전자보다 탑승객일 때 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 가속음 크기의 변화에 따라 성가심의 민감도는 운전자가 탑승객보다 35 % 더 크게 나타났고 스포티함의 민감도는 74 % 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 능동 음향 설계를 활용한 가속음 개발 시 운전자와 탑승객의 음량을 차별화하여 가속음에 대한 만족도를 향상 시킬 수 있는 사운드 디자인 방향 설정에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Structural acceleration regulation is a means of managing structural response energy and enhancing the performance of civil structures undergoing large seismic events. A quadratic output regulator that minimizes a measure including the total structural acceleration energy is developed and tested on a realistic non-linear, semi-active structural control case study. Suites of large scaled earthquakes are used to statistically quantify the impact of this type of control in terms of changes in the statistical distribution of controlled structural response. This approach includes the impulses due to control inputs and is shown to be more effective than a typical displacement focused control approach, by providing equivalent or better performance in terms of displacement and hysteretic energy reductions, while also significantly reducing peak story accelerations and the associated damage and occupant injury. For earthquake engineers faced with the dilemma of balancing displacement and acceleration demands this control approach can significantly reduce that concern, reducing structural damage and improving occupant safety.
