Throwing motion divided by 6 phases such as wind-up, (early and late) cocking, acceleration, deceleration, follow-through. Overuse injuries in baseball result most often from pitching. Poor mechanics is the leading cause of arm injuries. The purpose of this article is to analyze the each joint motion and evaluate the biomechanics and pathomechanics during pitching.

In a pressurized fuel supply system of aircraft, a flow passage opening device is required to keep fuel continuously transferred from one tank to the other. The device utilizes balancing weights in order to follow up an acceleration at special conditions such as negative g. It is very difficult to test the device in a real high-speed and high-altitude test since severe test conditions and expensive supports are needed. Therefore, this paper deals with performance analysis of a flow passage opening device through low speed aircraft captive flight tests (CFT) including roll and negative-g maneuvers. It is shown that balancing weights in the device can open the passage in accordance with fuel position.

A flow passage opening device utilizing an acceleration follow-up technique allows fuel to flow continuously through a pressurized fuel tank system. It is very difficult to test the device in a real flight situation because of severe test condition and a cost problem. In this paper, therefore, the results of a basic negative g test conducted by low-speed airplane are compared with RecurDyn simulation. Dynamic behavior of the device in total flight profile of a high-speed vehicle is also analyzed by using RecurDyn to predict its performance.

A special part such as a flow passage opening device is required to prevent the disconnection of fuel transfer in a pressurized fuel tank. To meet this requirement, the device utilizing an acceleration follow-up technique was invented. RecurDyn, a dynamic analysis tool, is introduced in this article to predict the device's performance and to determine parameters affecting it. In the analysis, it is shown that balancing weights can open the passage in accordance with fuel position.

A Test Facility was established to carry out the integrated propulsion performance tests(IPPT). To perform IPPT's with maximum safety, an emergency blockage system was investigated. An emergency blockage system using combustion chamber pressure and acceleration signals was set up to monitor ignition delay and fail, flame out, propellant feeding status, unstable combustion and excessive structural vibration. With such system, the maximum safety could be secured by rapid judgement and follow-up measures, which made IPPT's be safely completed.

Purpose: This study proposes a classification model for implementing condition-based maintenance (CBM) by monitoring the real-time status of a machine using acceleration sensor data collected from a vehicle. Methods: The classification model's performance was improved by applying Fourier transform to convert the acceleration sensor data from the time domain to the frequency domain. Additionally, the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) algorithm was used to augment images and further enhance the classification model's performance. Results: Experimental results demonstrate that the GAN algorithm can effectively serve as an image augmentation technique to enhance the performance of the classification model. Consequently, the proposed approach yielded a significant improvement in the classification model's accuracy. Conclusion: While this study focused on the effectiveness of the GAN algorithm as an image augmentation method, further research is necessary to compare its performance with other image augmentation techniques. Additionally, it is essential to consider the potential for performance degradation due to class imbalance and conduct follow-up studies to address this issue.

A vertical hot-firing test facility was established to carry out the IPPT(Integrated Propulsion Performance Test) and SQT(Stage Qualification Test) of KSR-III(Korea Sounding Rocket-III). The components for actual launcher were mostly used, hence these tests were carried out under the condition of relatively lower safety margin. To perform hot-firing tests with the maximum safety, an engine emergency blockage system was investigated and applied. An emergency blockage system using combustion chamber pressures and acceleration signals was set up to monitor ignition delay and fail, flame out, propellant feeding status, unstable combustion and excessive structural vibration. With such a system, the test safety could be secured by rapid judgement and follow-up measures, which made IPPT and SQT be safely completed.

Shaken baby syndrome is a serious form of child abuse, mostly involving children younger than 2 years. It results from extreme rotational cranial acceleration induced by violent shaking. The characteristic injuries include subdural hemorrhage, retinal hemorrhage, and fracture of ribs or long bones. If physicians have no recognition of, or suspicion about, shaken baby syndrome, this syndome is difficult to diagnosis because of a lack of obvious external signs and failure of the abuser to admit his or her actions. In addition to the high mortality, 60% of survivors have significant long term neurologic and developmental abnormality. The authors experienced five cases of shaken baby syndrome presented with seizures or vomiting, without external signs of trauma. All of these cases had subdural hemorrhages, and four cases had retinal hemorrahges. In our follow up, two children were found to have sequelae such as quadriplegia, monoplegia, and developmental delay. We emphasize that early recognition and prompt treament are key to overall success of case management. The incidence of shaken baby syndrome can be reduced through public awareness and education of parents not to shake a babies.

A flight capability to take a terrain following flight near the ground is required to reduce the probability that a fighter aircraft can be detected by foe's radar fence in the battlefield. The success rate for mission flight has increased by adopting TFS (Terrain Following System) to enable the modern advanced fighter to fly safely near the ground at the low altitude. This system has applied to the state-of-the-art fighter and bomber, such as B-1, F-111, F-16 E/F and F-15, since the research begins from 1960's. In this paper, the terrain following system and GCAS (Ground Collision Avoidance System) was developed, based on a digital database with UTAS's TERPRROM (TERrain PROfile Matching) equipment. This system calculates the relative location of the aircraft in the terrain database by using the aircraft status information provided by the radar altimeter and the INS (Inertial Navigation System), based on the digital terrain database loaded previously in the DTC (Data Transfer Cartridge), and figures out terrain features around. And, the system is a manual terrain following system which makes a steering command cue refer to flight path marker, on the HUD (Head Up Display), for vertical acceleration essential for terrain following flight and enables a pilot to follow it. The cue is based on the recognized terrain features and TCH (Target Clearance Height) set by a pilot in advance. The developed terrain following system was verified in the real-time pilot evaluation in FA-50 HQS (Handling Quality Simulator) environment.

In this study, an experiment was carried out on the field applicability of tension measuring devices of the cables in cable-stayed bridges. The vibration method was used to estimate the tension of cables of cable-stayed bridge, and the mode characteristics of the cable were analyzed using a cable tension measuring device. GTDL360, NI Module, and 9 Axes Motion Sensorwere applied to estimate the cable tension of five target bridges. Numerical analysis of the five target bridges was conducted to analyze the natural frequency of the cable and cable tension. The estimated tension of the cable based on field measurements and estimated tension of cable by numerical analysis were compared with the estimated tension of the cable based on field measurements. The analysis showed that the measured tension of the cable based on field measurements was within the margin of error. Therefore, it is safe to apply these measuring devices to the site. As a result of comparing and analyzing the values of the acceleration-based cable estimation tension and numerical analysis of the field demonstration bridge, the acceleration-based cable estimation of tension is deemed appropriate within the allowable range. On-site applicability analysis revealed limitations of the measuring devices, such as the installation location of sensors and weather conditions, so continuous follow-up research on smart cable tension measuring systems is expected.
