The knuckle crane design in Korea has been performed by assuming a cantilever beam type structure and numerically analyzing design data and finally improving the stiffness by replacing material. In our study, a complete finite element model of the knuckle crane is constructed and finite element analysis is conducted using Optistruct. Structural optimization to reduce the weight of the knuckle crane is processed by applying maximum loading condition at the largest radius of motion, which is the worst case of loading condition. As the results, existing over stiff design in a knuckle crane is corrected to meet a desired design limit and overall weight is reduced, which eventually leads to a reduction of $CO_2$ emission.

The knuckle crane mainly consists of six parts such as swing, main boom, outer boom, extension boom, hydraulic rotor and knuckle. And the hydraulic rotor is connected at the end of extension boom has rotor block, rotor body, rotor vane. In this study, we carried out kinematics analysis of the hydraulic rotor block curvature for a knuckle crane. Then, we showed the formula to establish the radius of a circumscribed circle to form the rotor block curvature. Third, we analyzed the stress at each point of the rotor block curvature according to the contact angle. From the result of this study, we designed the rotor block curvature with a proper contact angle for a knuckle crane to guarantee the stability of hydraulic rotor.

In this study, a flexible multi-body dynamic simulation model of a knuckle boom crane is developed to evaluate the stress of spindle and rack gears under dynamic working conditions. It is difficult to predict potential critical damage to a knuckle boom crane if only the static condition is considered during the development process. To solve this issue, a severe working scenario (high speed with heavy load) was simulated as a boundary condition for testing the integrity of the dynamic simulation model. The crane gear model is defined as a flexible body so contact analysis was performed. The functional motion of a knuckle boom crane is generated by applying forces at each end of the rack gear, which was converted from hydraulic pressure measured for the experiment. The bending and contact stress of gears are theoretically calculated to validate the simulation model. In the simulation, the maximum stress of spindle and rack gears are observed when the crane abruptly stops. Peak impact force is produced at the contact interface between pinion and rack gears due to the inertia force of the boom. However, the maximum stress (bending/contact) of spindle and rack are under the yield stress, which is safe from damage. By using the developed simulation model, the experiment process is expected to be minimized.

It become more difficult to anticipate the performance of fluid power systems as the number of components increases because of nonlinearrities inherent in hydraulic components. In this situation, the computer simulation technique can be an effective tool in the analysis and design of fluid power systems. In this paper, simulation results are presented for dynamic characteriatics of a knuckle crane. Simple models for hydraulic components and relatively detailed motion equations for attachments are used. the simulation reaults are very close to those of experiments. The simulation is performed using a simulation package developed with object-oriented method. This package provides the encironment that user can construct desirct desired circuits form the component library, checks the continuity and compatibility conditions automatically and executes simulation

Equipments to influence by external force have to take effect mechanical oscillation. These equipments regardless of the movement on the external force such as roll, pitch and heave etc, worked to keep the height of tote are required for activeness and needed a device as equipment's fluctuation for rapidly compensation. Because the actual development of these devices is difficult to cost-effectively, we were developed to compensation simulator scaled down 1/50. In this paper, we were studying kinematic characteristics, designed the simulator to grasp the point and manufactured. This paper was analyzed for confirming the superiority of compensation simulator and set up 50 ton crane in practice.

생이가래는 수생 양치식물로 한 쌍의 부유엽은 식물체 부유 및 광합성의 기능을 하며, 수중의 침수엽은 가늘고 길게 세분되어 뿌리의 형태 및 기능을 수행한다. 많은 수생식물에서는 표피 조직에 엽침이나 모용 등의 이형세포를 형성하는데, 생이가래는 모용이 엽육 표피조직에 밀생한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 생이가래속 Salvinia natans 및 S. molesta 2종의 부유엽 상피조직에 발달하는 모용의 분화발달 양상을 주사 및 투과전자현미경으로 연구 하고자 한다. 연구된 2종의 생이가래 부유엽 상피조직에 발달하는 모용은 매우 다른 양상을 나타낸다. S. natans의 모용은 중맥을 중심으로 엽신 양면에 일정하게 20${\sim}$25열로 발달한다. 각각의 열에는 8${\sim}$10개 세포로 구성된 $200{\sim}290{\mu}m$ 크기의 타원형 세포들이 나선 형상으로 배열된다. 이들 모용 4개가 모여 하나의 단위체를 이루 지만 정단부위가 융합되지 않는 'knuckle-crane' 형태로 발달한다. 반면, S. molesta에서는 독특한 유형의 모용으로 분화한다. 분화초기 부유엽 상피조직에서 모용들이 돌기형태로 돌출되고 8${\sim}$10개의 원통형 세포들이 $400{\sim}600{\mu}m$으로 신장한 후 이들 모용4개가 하나의 단위를 이룬다. 이들 단위체내 각 모용들의 정단부위가 융합되어 'egg-beater' 형태로 발달하기 시작한다. 이후 $300{\sim}600{\mu}m$의 다세포성 병세포들이 모용 기저부위에서 상피표면 위로 신장하여 돌출한다. 성숙한 'egg-beater' 형태의 모용은 0.6${\sim}$1.2mm로 발달하고 'knuckle-crane' 형태에 비해 3${\sim}$4배 길게 신장한다. 연구된 생이가래 2종 모용세포 내 액포는 분화초기에는 세포용적의 극히 일부를 차지하나 분화후기에는 세포용적의 대부분을 차지하여 세포질의 밀도를 매우 낮게 하는 특징을 나타낸다. 이와 같이 생이가래속 식물체내 모용의 구조적 특성은 생이가래가 수중에서 부유기능을 수행하는 데 있어 엽육조직 내통기조직과 함께 매우 중요한 역할을 수행하는 것으로 추정되고 있다.

Purpose: Hyoid bone is a U-shaped bone in the anterior of the neck. Hyoid bone fractures are exceedingly rare and represent only 0.002% of all fractures because of its protective position relative to the mandible and its suspension by elastic musculature. We report a patient who presented hyoid bone fracture associated with hypoglossal nerve palsy. We also discuss the possible complication and treatment. Methods: A 69-year-old man was transferred from another institution because of persistent purulent discharge from the left chin. He had a history of trauma in which a knuckle crane grabbed his face and neck in the construction site. A CT scan at the time of the accident demonstrated a comminuted fracture of the right side of the mandible and hyoid bone fracture at the junction between body and right greater cornua. The displaced fracture of hyoid bone and fullness in the pre-epiglottic space were noted, probably indicating some edema. The patient was transferred into ICU after treatment of emergency tracheostomy because the patient showed respiratory distress rapidly. When the patient was hospitalized in our emergency room, he complained of dysphagia and pain when swallowing. On examination of oral cavity, the presence of muscle wasting with fasciculation of the tongue was noted and the tongue deviates to the left side on protruding from the mouth. Pharyngolarygoscopy was performed to make sure that there was no evidence of progressive swelling and pharyngeal laceration. Results: The patient underwent surgical removal of dead and infected tissue from the wound and reconstruction of mandibular bony defect by iliac bone grafting. Hyoid bone fracture was managed conservatively with oral analgesics, soft diet and restricted movement. Hypoglossal nerve palsy was resolved within 7 weeks after trauma without complications. Conclusion: Closed hyoid bone fracture is usually uncomplicated and thus it can be treated conservatively. Surgical intervention for hyoid bone fracture is recommended for patient with airway compromise, pharyngeal perforation and painful symptoms which show no response to conservative care. Furthermore, since respiratory distress syndrome may develop quickly, close observation is required. Besides, hypoglossal nerve palsy is a rarely recognized complication of hyoid bone fracture.
