The EMG amplitude estimator, which has been investigated as an indicator of muscle force, is utilized as the control input to artificial prosthetic limbs. This paper describes an application of the optimal EMG amplitude estimator to the surface EMG signals recorded during constant isometric %MVC (maximum voluntary contraction) for 30 seconds and reports on assessing performance of the amplitude estimator from the application. Surface EMG signals, a total of 198 signals, were recorded from biceps brachii muscle over the range of 20-80%MVC isometric contraction. To examine the estimator performance, a SNR(signal-to-noise ratio) was computed from each amplitude estimate. The results of the study indicate that ARV(average rectified value) and RMS(root mean square) amplitude estimation with forth order whitening filter and 250[ms] moving average window length are optimal and showed the mean SNR improvement of about 50%, 40% and 20% for each 20%MVC, 50%MVC and 80%MVC surface EMG signals, respectively.

Power line noise in electrocardiogram signals makes it difficult to diagnose cardiovascular disease. ECG signals without power line noise are needed to increase the accuracy of diagnosis. In this paper, it is proposed DNN(Deep Neural Network) model to remove the power line noise in ECG. The proposed model is learned with noisy ECG, and clean ECG. Performance of the proposed model were performed in various environments(varying amplitude, frequency change, real-time amplitude change). The evaluation used signal-to-noise ratio and root mean square error (RMSE). The difference in evaluation metrics between the noisy ECG signals and the de-noising ECG signals can demonstrate effectiveness as the de-noising model. The proposed DNN model learning result was a decrease in RMSE 0.0224dB and a increase in signal-to-noise ratio 1.048dB. The results performed in various environments showed a decrease in RMSE 1.7672dB and a increase in signal-to-noise ratio 15.1879dB in amplitude changes, a decrease in RMSE 0.0823dB and a increase in signal-to-noise ratio 4.9287dB in frequency changes. Finally, in real-time amplitude changes, RMSE was decreased 0.3886dB and signal-to-noise ratio was increased 11.4536dB. Thus, it was shown that the proposed DNN model can de-noise power line noise in ECG.

The effects of Triangle Groove Strips (TGS) on Vortex-induced Vibration (VIV) suppression of marine riser are numerically investigated using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method. The range of Reynolds number in simulations is 4.0 × 10⁴ < Re < 1.2 × 10⁵. The two-dimensional unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and Shear Stress Transport (SST) k-ω turbulence model are used to calculate the flow around marine riser. The Newmark-β method is employed for evaluating the structure dynamics of marine riser. The effect of the height ratio (ε) of TGS on VIV suppression is evaluated. The amplitude responses, frequency responses, vortex patterns and the flow around the structures are discussed in detail. With the increase of the height ratio of TGS, the suppression effect of TGS on VIV suppression is improved firstly and then weakened. When ε=0.04, the suppression effect of TGS is the best. Compared with the VIV responses of smooth marine riser, the amplitude ratio is reduced by 38.9%, the peak of the lift coefficient is reduced by 69% and the peak of the drag coefficient is reduced by 40% when Re=6.0 × 10⁴. With the increase of Reynolds number, the suppression effect of TGS on VIV suppression is improved firstly and then weakened. When the Reynolds number is 7.0 × 10⁴, the amplitude ratio can be reduced by 40.1%. As to the large-amplitude vibration cases, the TGS show nice suppression effect on VIV.

We propose some applications of image processing techniques to extract quantitative measurements by using a camera system developed in Korea university and Catholic Medical School. From now on the system will be called as KCMOTION. The purpose of this study is to provide basic kinematic and kinetic data for the analysis of human movements and to find the clinical usefulness and reliability of the proposed motion analysis system. Two tests, sit-to-stand (STS) movements and pendulum test, are conducted by the system. The aims of the tests are to identify variability and reliability of KCMOTION to give some quantitative comparisons to the other systems. The result of STS movement are compared to the LOCUS IIID motion analyzer by the ratio of maximum flexion movement per body weight to the actual maximum flexion extension torque per body weight. That result in 29 % and 33 % for hip and knee joint, respectively in KCMOTION and 27 % and 30 % in LOCUS IIID System. The results of the pendulum movements are compared to that of using Cybex and Electrogoniometer with relaxation index, amplitude ratio, swing number and swing time. The results of relaxation index and amplitude ratio of the KCMOTION are between those of the Cybex and Electrogoniometer. We also observed that the KCMOTION detect more natural movement, from the results of swing number and time.

The aim this study is to provide fundamental informations for the development of magneticfluid damper. To achieve the aim. the damping effect of magneticfluid is investigated by experiments that the diameter of inner circular bar and the input amplitude vary in the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet and the electromagnet. From the study, the following conclusive remarks can be made. As the diameter of inner circular bar and the input amplitude increase. the damping effect is improved. And we can know that as the contact area between inner circular bar and magneticfluid increases, damping ratio is improved. Also we consider the cases that there is magnetism generated by electromagnet and DC voltage is supplied to electromagnet from 10V to 50V by 10V. In these cases, the amplitude ratio decreases sharply from 1.8 1.0 And for these cases, the damping ratio is .745.

In this paper, the nonlinear static and free vibration analysis of Euler-Bernoulli composite beam model reinforced by functionally graded single-walled carbon nanotubes (FG-SWCNTs) with initial geometrical imperfection under uniformly distributed load using finite element method (FEM) is investigated. The governing equations of equilibrium are derived by the Hamilton's principle and von Karman type nonlinear strain-displacement relationships are employed. Also the influences of various loadings, amplitude of the waviness, UD, USFG, and SFG distributions of carbon nanotube (CNT) and different boundary conditions on the dimensionless transverse displacements and nonlinear frequency ratio are presented. It is seen that with increasing load, the displacement of USFG beam under force loads is more than for the other states. Moreover it can be seen that the nonlinear to linear natural frequency ratio decreases with increasing aspect ratio (h/L) for UD, USFG and SFG beam. Also, it is shown that at the specified value of (h/L), the natural frequency ratio increases with the increasing the values amplitude of waviness while the dimensionless nonlinear to linear maximum deflection decreases. Moreover, with considering the amplitude of waviness, the stiffness of Euler-Bernoulli beam model reinforced by FG-CNT increases. It is concluded that the R parameter increases with increasing of volume fraction while the rate of this parameter decreases. Thus one can be obtained the optimum value of FG-CNT volume fraction to prevent from resonance phenomenon.

Characteristics of flow and heat transfer have been studied numerically in a square duct with a periodic pressure gradient. The flow in a duct was assumed to be fully developed and constant heat flux was imposed at the surfaces of a square duct. The distributions of axial velocity and time-space averaged temperature are investigated with angular velocity and amplitude ratio at a given Reynolds number 1000. When the periodic pressure gradient was imposed axially in a duct, the reverse flow may be occurred near the duct wall. The magnitude of this reverse flow increases as the amplitude ratio increases or as the angular frequency decreases. In the ranges of the amplitude ratio and the angular velocity in present investigation, the ratio of the periodic time space averaged temperature to the nonperiodic space averaged temperature has been found to be greater than one. This means that the cooling effect at the duct walls deteriorates with a periodic situation compared with nonperiodic one.

일반적인 구조물의 경우 사용하중 상태에서 지반이 경험하는 변형율 범위는 1% 미만이고 대부분의 지반이 0.01% 이하의 저변형율 거동을 나타내는 것으로 알려졌다. 본 연구는 불포화 화강풍화토의 저변형율에서의 동적 거동에 미치는 영향을 고찰하기 위하여 수원지역의 시료를 사용하여 간극비 및 구속응력을 달리하고 그에 따른 포화도별로 공진주시험을 시행하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 감쇠비의 최소값은 최대전단탄성 계수의 경우와 마찬가지로 구속압에 관계없이 간극비에 따라 대략 $17{\sim}18%$에서 발생하였으며, 이 또한 최적포화도에서 표면장력의 영향으로 감쇠비가 가장 작게 나타나는 것으로 판단된다.

본 논문에서는 크기 및 위상 변이 선택사상 기법(amplitude and phase variant SLM)을 제안한다. 이 기법은 직교 진폭 변조(quadrature amplitude modulation; QAM)로 변조된 직교 주파수 분할 다중화(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing; OFDM)신호에서 최대전력 대 평균전력의 비(peak to average power ratio; PAPR)를 감소시킨다. 주파수 영역에서 QAM 심볼들의 위상만을 회전시키는 기존의 SLM과 비교하였을 때에 제안된 기법은 QAM 심볼들로 대응되기 전의 이진 데이터의 특정 위치에 이진 시퀀스를 곱해줌으로써 QAM 심볼에 대응 시에 위상은 물론 크기까지 변화시켜준다. 모의실험 결과는 제안된 기법이 QAM 변조된 OFDM 신호들에 대하여 기존의 SLM 보다 PAPR 감소 성능이 더 좋다는 것을 보여준다.

본 논문에서는 cross-eye의 두 재밍 안테나의 진폭 불일치로 인한 성능 저하를 고려한다. 진폭비의 불일치는 기계적 결함에 따른 실제 진폭비와 명목상 진폭비의 차이가 정규분포를 갖는 랜덤변수로 모델링한다. 1차 테일러 전개와 2차 테일러 전개를 통한 해석적 성능분석이 제안된다. 실제 진폭비와 명목상 진폭비의 불일치가 발생한 Cross-eye 재밍의 성능 측정은 mean square difference (MSD)를 계산함으로서 측정된다. 해석적으로 유도된 MSD는 1차 테일러 전개 기반 시뮬레이션 기반 MSD 및 2차 테일러 전개 기반 시뮬레이션 기반 MSD와 해석 기반 MSD와 비교함으로써 검증된다. 계산비용이 높은 Monte-Carlo기반 MSD보다 해석 기반 MSD가 우수함을 보인다.
