This study is designed to reduce worker fatigue, improve efficiency and provide a functional working environment based on previous studies that pain occurs in the shoulder area, especially the upper trapezius muscle, when the keyboard height is not appropriate. In this study, the height of the keyboard is four, the height of the elbow and desk is the same height, the height of the desk is 3cm lower than the elbow, the height of the desk is 6cm high, and the height is 9cm high. When working on the keyboard, the wrist and forerunner were organized into four groups of 10 people so that the height was different for each group. When the height of the keyboard is given in various ways compared to the height of the elbow of the subject, it is verified whether there is a difference in the RMS (Root Mean Square) of the upper trapezius muscle. The results of this study showed that the muscle activity of the upper trapezius muscle cap was significant only in the left and right keyboard height -4cm, 0cm, +4cm, +8cm group, but the difference in muscle activity was not significant in the rest group. The first study will require a study of the control of the factors affecting the tension of the subjects, the measurement of muscle activity against various muscles, and whether the length of the shoulder and fingertips of the subject affect muscle activity according to the keyboard type.

Steel-concrete-steel (SCS) sandwich structures have important advantages over conventional concrete structures, however, bond-slip between the steel plate and concrete may lead to a loss of composite action, resulting in a reduction of stiffness and fatigue life of SCS sandwich structures. Due to the inaccessibility and invisibility of the interface, the interfacial performance monitoring and debonding detection using traditional measurement methods, such as relative displacement between the steel plate and core concrete, have proved challenging. In this work, two methods using piezoelectric transducers are proposed to detect the bond-slip between steel plate and core concrete during the test of the beam. The first one is acoustic emission (AE) method, which can detect the dynamic process of bond-slip. AE signals can be detected when initial micro cracks form and indicate the damage severity, types and locations. The second is electromechanical impedance (EMI) method, which can be used to evaluate the damage due to bond-slip through comparing with the reference data in static state, even if the bond-slip is invisible and suspends. In this work, the experiment is implemented to demonstrate the bond-slip monitoring using above methods. Experimental results and further analysis show the validity and unique advantage of the proposed methods.

The study aims to examine whether regular leisure activity of the elderly with active and passive types has a beneficial effect to enhance their health condition. The elderly subjects of 164 (82 of elderly who do active leisure and 82 of elderly who do passive leisure) aged over 60 years in Suwon area were employed. Survey questionnaires were administered to investigate general characteristics, life style, and health status along with anthropometric measurement. From the findings, the elderly who do active leisure were highly educated and better in living status. The elderly who do passive leisure showed higher drinking and smoking rates as well as higher obesity and overweight rates in comparison to the other counterpart. Furthermore, the elderly who do passive leisure were poor in health status. 'Painful knee and eye', 'lower back pain', and 'fatigue' were the most prevalent among subjective symptoms of the elderly. In conclusion, the elderly with active leisure activity seemed to have better life style and maintain good health status. Therefore, it is critically important to establish the health program combined with various leisure activity for the seniors to promote and energize the later years of life.

To model the aeroelasticity in vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) of slender tubular towers, this paper presents an approach where the aerodynamic damping distribution along the height of the structure is calculated not only as a function of the normalized lateral oscillation but also considering the local incoming wind velocity ratio to the critical velocity (velocity ratio). The three-dimensionality of aerodynamic damping depending on the tower's displacement and the velocity ratio has been observed in recent studies. A contour map model of aerodynamic damping is generated based on the forced vibration tests. A sectional calculation procedure based on the spectral method is developed by defining the aerodynamic damping locally at each increment of height. The proposed contour map model of aerodynamic damping and the sectional calculation procedure are validated with full-scale measurement data sets of a rotorless wind turbine tower, where good agreement between the prediction and measured values is obtained. The prediction of cross-wind response of the wind turbine tower is performed over a range of wind speeds which allows the estimation of resulting fatigue damage. The proposed model gives more realistic prediction in comparison to the approach included in current standards.

교량의 설계에 있어서 정확한 하중의 산정은 교량의 안전성 확보에 가장 핵심적인 사항이며 향후 유지관리 측면에서도 매우 중요하다. 교량구조물에서 차량에 의한 하중효과는 주로 활하중(충격하중 포함) 및 피로하중으로 나타난다. 이들 하중의 정형화를 위해서는 실제 교량상을 주행하는 중차량의 중량 및 통행특성을 정확히 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 이를 위해서 주행중인 차량을 정지시키지 않고 중량을 계측할 수 있는 시스템(Bridge Weigh-In-Motion, BWIM)의 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 기능을 갖는 BWIM시스템을 국내실정에 맞게 개발하고 이를 고속도로상의 교량에서 검증하였다.

최근 치과 시술을 위한 국소마취 시 시술자의 피로감을 줄이고 수동 마취기의 단점을 보완한 다양한 전동형 마취액 주입기가 개발되어 임상에서 사용되고 있다. 이러한 전동형 마취액 주입기기에서는 약물 주입을 위한 압력을 정확하고 일정하게 전달하는 것이 매우 중요한 성능 요소이다. 이러한 전달 압력의 정확성을 평가하기 위하여 로드셀을 이용한 소형의 압력계가 많이 사용되는데, 로드셀 내부의 탄성체가 충분한 변위를 수용할 수 없는 경우가 있어 압력 성능 평가 시 오차를 발생시킬 수도 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 로드셀 방식의 압력측정기를 이용하여 압력 제어형 압력 인가 장치의 성능을 평가할 때 사용 가능한 비교적 큰 변위 수용이 가능한 실리콘-크롬강(Si-Cr강) 스프링 지그를 제안하였으며 유효성을 평가하였다. 제안된 스프링 지그의 압력 전달률과 상용의 치과용 마취액 주입장치를 이용한 반복 측정 결과, 스프링 지그 사용 시 보다 안정적인 결과를 얻을 수 있었으며, 비정상적으로 높게 측정되는 빈도가 줄어드는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구는 항공기 운용 중 발생하는 구조결함의 원인을 규명하고 개선형상에 대한 구조 건전성을 확인하고자 한다. 항공기 균열은 Bulkhead 체결구조로서 연료탱크 경계 Web 파열로 인한 연료누유 현상에서 식별되었다. 균열의 특성을 확인하기 위해 파단면을 분석하였고 반복하중에 의해 균열이 진전되어 최종 파단으로 이어지는 피로파괴로 판단하였다. 또한 다중 시작점에서 균열이 시작되는 것으로 소재의 결함이 균열의 주요 원인으로 판단되지 않는다. 항공기 운용 중 발생하는 기동하중에 대한 균열 영향을 확인하기 위해 항공기 지상 및 비행시험을 통해 분석을 수행하였다. 항공기 운용 중 균열 부위의 하중 측정 데이터와 항공기 설계하중과의 비교를 통한 분석 결과 측정하중은 설계 대비 30% 수준으로 파손을 유발할 수준은 아니라고 판단하였다. 항공기 운용 시 진동하중의 원인으로 조립 및 단품 제작공차가 최대 0.06inch 발생할 수 있는 Gap을 검토하였고, 분석결과 균열부위에서 큰 응력인 약 32ksi가 발생하였다. 또한 Pre-Load에 의해 M.S.(Margin of Safety)가 +0.71에서 +0.34로 약 50%이상 감소되는 것으로 확인되어 항공기 설계 하중과 조합 시 균열 가능성이 급격히 증가하였다. 따라서 항공기 균열부위에 대하여 구조 보강 및 Gap 제거를 통해 결함을 개선하였다. 개선형상에 대하여 구조강도 해석 결과 Bulkhead는 허용응력 대비 M.S.가 약 +0.88이고 Fitting 형상은 약 +0.48로서 충분한 마진이 확보되었다. 또한 수명해석 결과 형상 개선 전 수명인 약3,600 시간 대비 개선형상은 약84,000 시간으로서 항공기 설계수명 대비 구조건전성을 확인하였다.
