This paper describes a three dimensional profile measurement method for sheet metal products which have flexible and porous sculptured surfaces. Shadow masks are used as measuring objects for practical implementation or this study. The shadow masks are located inside the fluorescent glasses of monitors for televisions or computers and used to prevent electron guns from interfering between pixels. Three dimen- sional surface profiles are measured by adopting a software autofocusing technique to capture focused images. The experimental results show that the method is very effecive and suitable for sheet meal prod- ucts with flexible and porous surfaces.

Dynamic behavior of flexible rectangular liquid storage structures is analysed by the developed method. The rectangular liquid storage structures are assumed to be fixed to the ground and a moving coordinate system is used. The irrotational motion of invicid and incompressible ideal fluid is represented by two analytic solutions. One is the solution of the fluid motion in the rigid rectangular liquid storage structure due to ground motions and the other is the solution of the fluid motion by the motion of the wall in the flexible rectangular liquid storage structure. The motion of structure is modeled by finite elements. The fluid-structure interaction effect is reflected into the coupled equation of motion as added fluid mass matrix. The free surface sloshing motion and hydrodynamic pressure acting on the wall in the flexible rectangular liquid storage structure due to the horizontal ground motion are obtained by the developed method and verified.

The aim of this study is to extract the design vocabulary of flexibility from analyzing Steven Holl' architectural works. For this purpose, the four works were selected and the design elements like their concepts, elevations, plans, furnitures, lights, materials, and colors were analyzed. The results of this study are as follows ; First, flexible design method is shown in adaptable space planning by using system of hinged panel and multi-functional furniture of various form. Second, Windows were made a plan of the geometric partition of surface and with clear materials for expanding space to outside. Third, the changing of level and the using of the phenomenological elements like a light color, water, and materials were applied for enhancing the image of the flexible space.

A variable cutting speed control model was developed to be implemented for the flexible disk grinding process Control algorithm was based on the error referred by the discrepancy between current disk angle and intended one that are pro-posed to produce desired resulting depth of cut. Controller was implemented in two different aspect One was to initiate the control law from the beginning while the other was to activate as soon as the disk start to produce ground surface i.e. The beginning of the between edges stage. Several performance analysis were conducted comparing various process parameters such as cutting force disk angle depth of cut and disk speed with respect to process transition time Tentative results revealed that controller implemented from the earlier stages of the process showed better performance than the other revealed that controller implemented from the earlier stages of the process showed better performance that the other.

A discrete sliding mode control (SMC) method based on hybrid model of neural network and nominal model is proposed to reduce the vibration of flexible structures, which is a robust active controller developed by using a sliding manifold approach. Since the thick boundary layer will reduce the virtue of SMC, the multilayer feed-forward neural network is adopted to model the uncertainty part. The neural network is trained by Levenberg-Marquardt backpropagation. The design objective of the sliding mode surface is based on the quadratic optimal cost function. In course of running, the input signal of SMC come from the hybrid model of the nominal model and the neural network. The simulation shows that the proposed control scheme is very effective for large uncertainty systems.

Barrier coating properties of PVA/$SiO_2$ on the flexible substrates (PEN) have been investigated. Thin layer of PVA/$SiO_2$ organic-inorganic hybrid materials were deposited on PEN substrate by the spin-coating. The optical properties and surface roughness of barrier layer on flexible substrate were characterized by AFM, UV-Vis and WVTR/ OTR.

A flexible three-axial tactile sensor was fabricated on Kapton polyimide film using polymer micromachining technology. Nichrome (Ni:Cr = 8:2) strain gauges were positioned on an etched membrane to detect normal and shear loads. The optimal positions of strain gauges were determined through strain distribution from finite element analysis. The sensor was evaluated by applying normal and shear loads from 0 N to 0.8 N using an evaluation system. Sensitivity of the tactile sensor to normal and shear loads was about 206.6 mV/N and 70.1 mV/N, respectively. The sensor showed good linearity, and its determination coefficient ($R^2$) was about 0.982. The developed sensor can be applied in a curved or compliant surface that requires slip detection and flexibility, such as a robotic fingertip.

A flexible Packaging scheme, which embedded chip packaging, has been developed using a thinned silicon chip. Mechanical characteristics of thinned silicon chips are examined by bending test and finite element analysis. Thinned silicon chips ($t<50{\mu}m$) are fabricated by chemical etching process to avoid possible surface damages on them. These technologies can be use for a real-time monitoring of blood pressure. Our research targets are implantable blood pressure sensor and its telemetric measurement. By winding round the coronary arteries, we can measure the blood pressure by capacitance variation of blood vessel.

In the present study, we propose a virtual boundary method for simulation of massive inextensible flexible strings immersed in viscous fluid flow. The fluid motion is governed by the Navier-Stokes equations and a momentum forcing is added in order to bring the fluid to move at the same velocity with the immersed surface. A massive inextensible flexible string model is described by another set of equations with an additional momentum forcing which is a result of the fluid viscosity and the pressure difference across the string. The momentum forcing is calculated by a feedback loop. Simulations of several numerical examples are carried out, inlcuding a hanging string which starts moving under gravity without ambient fluid, a string swimming within a uniform flow and a uniform flow over two side-by side strings. The numerical results agree well with the theoretical analysis and previous experimental observations. Preliminary results of a swimming elongated fishlike body will also be presented.

A flexible disk grinding process model was developed based on the dynamic relationship proposed by Kurfess and the influence of the major system parameters which potentially affect the grinding process was studied. Due to the process complexities, several new parameters were assumed to be kinematically dependent on the geometric layouts of the process. Different process stages had been defined depending on the kinematic relationships between the grinding disk and workpiece. A trend of depth of cut was simulated using the proposed model and compared with the empirically measured data in two dimensions. Due to a poor prediction capability of the first model, a modified model was proposed and a better performance has been proved to reveal a closer description of processed surface quality. Also a deflection length has been verified using a different analytical approach.
