Building structures which are in need of large open space make the damping effect of the structures decrease greatly. Assembly and office buildings with a lower natural frequency have a higher possibility of experiencing excessive vibration induced by human activities. These excessive vibration make the residents uncomfortable and the serviceability deterioration. The loads induced by human activities were classified into two types. First type is in place loads as like jumping, foot stamping and body bouncing. The other type is moving loads as like walking, running and dancing. A series of laboratories experiments had been conducted to study the dynamic loads induced by human activities, The earlier works were mainly concerned to parameters study of dynamic loads as like activity type, weight, sex, surface condition of structure and etc. In this paper, we have measured directly the walking loads by using the platform. And we have evaluated and analyzed load-time history of walking loads. One of the most important parameter is pacing rate (walking speed) in the walking loads. The difference between the maximum value and minimum value of walking loads depends on the walking speed.

This study developed a functional prototype jacket designed to reduce loads on the upper extremities of workers performing repetitive motions in the same posture for extended periods of time. Dynamic taping lines were applied to the upper extremities, and three dimensional (3D) supporters were inserted in the abdomen and back waist areas corresponding to the core muscles. Clothing pressure on the upper-extremity dynamic taping lines was set to two levels (proto P1 and proto P2), and the 3D supporters were designed in three types (proto FW, proto FW/BW, proto FW/BW/BBX). According to the subjective pressure perceived on each part of the upper extremities, the level proto P1 pressure was preferred. The proto FW/BW/BBX 3D supporter was rated as excellent, and the perceived pressure was ranked as satisfactory. The prototype jacket performed upper-extremity load reduction when the upper-extremity clothing-pressure level was set to 1.8 kPa, 2.1 kPa, and 2.4 kPa on the upper arm, forearm, and wrist regions, respectively, and when 3D supporters were installed in the abdomen and back of the waist with the addition of a back band.

Some aspects of the design procedures of reinforced concrete slabs concerning microvibration behavior have to be considered. In this study, a numerical algorithm for the analysis of slabs to withstand the microvibration effects is developed. First, the evaluation criteria for controlling the microvibration of slabs is given from the literature survey. Second, the human-induced load model is developed by the experimental results. Finally, the procedure for the analysis of reinforced concrete slabs, with particular emphasis to the slab subject to human-induced dynamic load, is developed by the finite element method and is then examined by using the slab model tests, In addition, the effects of elastic modulus, mass, shape of slab, and support conditions on the microvibration behavior of reinforced concrete slabs are analyzed. It is concluded that the developed analysis procedure showns in accecptable accuracy compared with the experiments and the analysis procedure cab be easily appkied to the practical microvibration problems.

Many studies have emphasized the importance of resistive exercise to maintain a healthy human body, particular in prevention of weakening of physical strength. Recently, some studies advocated that an application of vibration as a supplementary means in a regular training was effective in encouraging physical strength. Aim of the current study was, therefore, to identify if an application of vibration in a resistive exercise was effective in encouraging physical strength as that in a regular training. A 3-dimensional virtual lower extremity model for a healthy male and virtual leg-press model were generated and synchronized. Dynamic leg-press exercises on a slide machine with/without extra load and on a footboard with vibration as well as on a slide machine with extra load were analyzed. The results of the current indicated that the application of the vibration on the dynamic leg-press exercise might be not greatly effective in encouraging physical strength, compared with the dynamic leg press exercise with extra load. It was, however, thought that the application of the vibration might be helpful to elderly individuals because the reduced maximum muscle strength appeared by the effect of the vibration may avoid a muscular spasm, which can be driven from a high muscle strength sometimes produced during the leg-press exercise with extra load.

The present status and future prospects of the levitation mass method (LMM), a technique for precision mass and force measurement, are reviewed. In the LMM, the inertial force of a mass levitated using a pneumatic linear bearing is used as the reference force applied to the objects being tested, such as force transducers, materials, or structures. The inertial force of the levitated mass is measured using an optical interferometer. We have modified this technique for dynamic force calibration of impact, oscillation, and step loads. We have also applied the LMM to material testing, providing methods for evaluating material viscoelasticity under an oscillating or impact load, evaluating material friction, evaluating the biomechanics of a human hand, and generating and measuring micro-Newton-level forces.

A humanoid is a robot with its overall appearance based on that of the human body. When the humanoid moves or walks, dynamic forces act on the body structure. Although the humanoid keeps the balance by using a precise control, the dynamic forces generate unexpected deformation or vibration and cause difficulties on the control. Generally, the structure of the humanoid is designed by the designer's experience and intuition. Then the structure can be excessively heavy or fragile. A humanoid design scenario for a systematic design is proposed to reduce the weight of the structure while sufficient strength is kept. Lower parts of the humanoid are selected to apply the proposed design scenario. Multi-body dynamics is employed to calculate the external dynamic forces on the parts and structural optimization is carried out to design the lower parts. Because structural optimization using dynamic forces directly is fairly difficult, linear dynamic response structural optimization using equivalent static loads is utilized. Topology and shape optimizations are adopted for two steps of initial and detailed designs, respectively. Various commercial software systems are used for analysis and optimization. Improved designs are obtained and the design results are discussed.

The development of radish collectors has the potential to increase radish yields while decreasing the time and dependence on human labor in a variety of field activities. Stress and fatigue analyses are essential to ensure the optimal design and machine life of any agricultural machinery. The objectives of this research were to analyze the stress and fatigue of major components of a tractor-mounted radish collector under dynamic load conditions in an effort to increase the design dependability and dimensions of the materials. An experiment was conducted to measure the shaft torque of stem-cutting and transferring conveyor motors using rotary torque sensors at different tractor ground speeds with and without a load. The Smith-Watson-Topper mean stress equation and the rain-flow counting technique were utilized to determine the required shear stress with the distribution of the fatigue life cycle. The severity of the operation was assessed using Miner's theory. All running conditions produced more than 10⁷ of high cycle fatigue strength. Furthermore, the highest severity levels for motor shafts used for stem cutting and transferring and for transportation joints and cutting blades were 2.20, 4.24, 2.07, and 1.07, and 1.97, 3.81, 1.73, and 1.07, respectively, with and without a load condition, except for 5.24 for a winch motor shaft under a load. The stress and fatigue analysis presented in this study can aid in the selection of the most appropriate design parameters and material sizes for the successful construction of a tractor-mounted radish collector, which is currently under development.

In this paper, the possibility of using human induced loading (HIL) to detect a decrease of tension in the cable-stays of an existing footbridge is investigated. First, a reliable finite elements model of an existing footbridge is developed by calibration with experimental data. Next, estimates of the tension in the cables are derived and their dependency on the modal features of the deck is investigated. The modelling of the HIL is briefly discussed and used to perform the nonlinear, large strain, dynamic finite elements analyses. The results of these analyses are assessed with focus on characterizing the time histories of the tension in the cables under pedestrian crossing and their effects on the deck response for different initial conditions. Finally, the control perspective is introduced in view of further research.

최근 기후 변화로 인한 태풍 및 국지적 집중호우의 발생 빈도가 증가하고 있다. 이로 인해 농촌지역에서는 산사태 피해가 발생할 가능성이 더욱 커지고 있다. 그러나 현실적으로 공학적인 안정성 평가 연구는 미미한 상태이다. 따라서 농촌지역의 산사태 피해를 경감시키고 재해위험이 있는 산간 지역을 효과적으로 관리하기 위해서는 산사태에 대비한 방재 기술의 발전이 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 토석류 방호시스템에 동적 충격 하중이 작용할 때 완충 스프링의 충격에 대한 완화 효과를 분석하기 위해 완충 스프링 자유장별로 수치해석을 수행하고, 하중분담율에 대하여 고찰하였다. 또한, 기존 완충 스프링과 쐐기형 완충 스프링과의 동적 충격하중 크기 변화에 따른 인장강도에 대한 비교분석으로 현장 적용성을 검증하였다. 연구 결과 네트형 토석류 방호시스템은 산사태 발생 시 토석류에 의한 시설물 및 인명 피해의 손실을 방지하는데 효과적인 것으로 판단된다.

Instead of sensory evaluation, we designed an evaluation method of the setting function of hairstyling products, based on an original theory focusing on changes in bending stress observed when a load with continuous bending is applied to human hair. Specifically, we developed a device to measure bending stress to quickly and objectively evaluate the condition of human hair, particularly its dynamic properties such as the setting function, following the application of hairstyling products. This device generates a load with continuous bending while applying a pendulum motion to a hair tress, one end of which is anchored. The setting function and holding power of resins of various molecular weight and ionic properties were evaluated using this device. The results demonstrated a close correlation with those obtained by experts' sensory evaluation. The evaluation results of bending stress and holding rate confirmed that the combined use of two different resins could improve the function of setting preparations. Evaluation using this device was able to substitute for sensory evaluation, and offers quick objective evaluation and detection of changes in the holding power of hairstyling products over time. We conclude that evaluation using this device is a promising new method.
