Mobility of an indoor wheeled robot is affected by adhesion force that is related to various floor conditions. When the adhesion force between driving wheels and the floor decreases suddenly, the robot has slip state. First of all, this paper models adhesion characteristics and slip in wheeled robot. Secondly, the paper proposes estimation method of adhesion force coefficient according to slip velocity. In oder to overcome this slip problem, optimal slip velocity must be decided for stable movement of wheeled robot. The paper proposes an anti-slip control system based on an ordinary disturbance observer, that is, the anti-slip control is achieved by reducing the driving torque enough to give maximum adhesion force coefficient. These procedure is implemented using a Pioneer 2-DXE parameter.

This paper describes the design of a 6-component force/moment calibration machine with having the maximum capacities of 500 N in forces and 50 Nm in moments. To be used for the characteristic of a multi-component load cell. this machine consists of a body, a fixture, a force generating system, a moment generating system and weights. We have also evaluated the accuracy of the calibration machine. Test results show that the expanded relative uncertainty for force components $\pmFx,\;\pmFy\;and\;moment\;components\;\pmMx,\;\pmMy\;are\;less\; than\;8.6\times10^{-4}$, and force components +Fz, -Fz and moment components $\pmMz\;is\;less\;than\;1.6\times10^{-3},\;2.0\times10^{-5},\;1.7\times10^{-3}$ respectively.

We suggest flux quantum-based mechanism for force realization in the sub-pico-Newton range. By controlling the number of flux quantum in a superconducting ring, a force can be created as an integer multiple of a constant force step. For a 50 nm-thick Nb ring with the inner and outer radii of $5{\mu}m\;and\;10{\mu}m$, respectively, the force step is estimated to be 165 fN, assuming the magnetic field gradient of 10 T/m. We also estimated a maximum force limit to be $1\sim2$ pN.

본 연구는 구두 굽 높이 변화에 따른 보행 시 족저압력을 비교, 분석함으로써 구체적인 데이터를 정량화하여 높은 굽을 착용함으로 인한 전족부의 압력 증가가 발에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 한다. 본 연구에 사용된 구두는 선행연구를 바탕으로 여대생이 선호하는 구두 굽 높이 3cm, 7cm를 선택하였으며 여대생 10명을 대상으로 발을 전족부와 후족부로 나누어 수직힘, 최대압력, 평균압력을 측정하였다. 그 결과 전족부에서의 평균압력은 7cm 높이 구두가 높게 나타났으며, 후족부에서는 7cm 높이 구두가 낮게 나타났다. 통계처리 결과 전족부위에서는 3cm 굽 높이와 7cm 굽 높이의 최대압력 비교에서 유의한 차이가 나타났으며(p<.05), 후족부위에서는 수직힘, 최대압력, 평균압력 모두 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p<.05). 이상과 같이 구두를 착용함으로서 전족부의 최대압력이 높아지는 것은 물론이고 후족부위의 수직힘, 최대압력, 평균압력도 높아지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 현상은 전족부위에 높은 압력분포로 구속압이 증가하여 발가락의 변형을 유발할 수 있으며 후족부위에 압력증가는 장시간 착용 시 뒤꿈치의 통증을 유발할 수 있다. 따라서 굽이 있는 구두를 착용할 때 굽 높이가 7cm일 때 보다는 3cm일 때, 굽 높이가 낮을수록 전족부의 변형 예방과 후족부의 통증을 줄일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the changes in the contact area, maximum pressure, maximum mean pressure, and maximum force of functional insoles and general insoles when walking. Methods: Foot pressure was measured by the ignition of functional insoles and general insoles on Company N shoes. The foot pressure was measured using a precision pressure distribution meter (Pedar - X mobile system, Novel, Germany). Each insole sensor contained 99 independent cells and was inserted between the foot and the shoe. A wireless Bluetooth-type program was used to measure the pressure detected by the measuring insoles. In order to eliminate adaptation and fatigue caused by wearing the guide during the experiment, sufficient rest was taken between each experiment, and the wearing order was randomly selected. Results: Functional insole significantly increased the forefoot and midfoot (medial, lateral) (p<0.05), while total foot, forefoot, and rearfoot peak pressure significantly decreased (p < 0.05) compared to the general insole. Conclusion: In the functional insole, a high contact area was measured inside, even in the middle of the foot, leading to a proper change in foot pressure. It was confirmed that the contact area was reduced and dispersion occurred well. In addition, it was found that the maximum pressure in the front and back of the entire foot was reduced, so the weight pressure dispersion in the functional insole was evenly distributed, and the maximum average pressure change was similar.

PURPOSE. To assess function by identifying changes in swallowing and masticatory performance in maxillary obturator prosthesis wearers. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Sixty subjects were recruited for the study, of which 20 were obturator wearers, 20 were completely dentulous and 20 had removable partial/complete dentures with similar Eichner's Index. Swallowing ability was evaluated with and without obturator using the "Water Drinking Test"; Masticatory performance was evaluated with the Sieve test; and maximum occlusal force was recorded with the help of a digital bite sensor. The data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science version 15.0 with a confidence level at 95%. RESULTS. Profile, behavior of drinking and time taken to drink were significantly improved (P<.001) in subjects after wearing obturator. Masticatory performance was not significantly different (P=.252) in obturator wearer when compared with dentulous or removable partial/complete denture wearer, but significantly (P<.001) high inter group difference in maximum occlusal force existed. Correlation between masticatory performance and maximum occlusal force was not significant (P=.124). CONCLUSION. Swallowing ability was significantly improved after wearing obturator but masticatory performance was not significantly different from those having similar occlusal support zone in their dentition.

This paper describes a contact atomic force microscope (AFM) that can be used for high-speed precision measurements of microstructured surfaces. The AFM is composed of an air-bearing X stage, an air-bearing spindle with the axis of rotation in the Z direction, and an AFM probe unit. The traversing distance and maximum speed of the X stage are 300 mm and 400 mm/s, respectively. The spindle has the ability to hold a sample in a vacuum chuck with a maximum diameter of 130 mm and has a maximum rotation speed of 300 rpm. The bandwidth of the AFM probe unit in an open loop control circuit is more than 40 kHz. To achieve precision measurements of microstructured surfaces with slopes, a scanning strategy combining constant height measurements with a slope compensation technique is proposed. In this scanning strategy, the Z direction PZT actuator of the AFM probe unit is employed to compensate for the slope of the sample surface while the microstructures are scanned by the AFM probe at a constant height. The precision of such a scanning strategy is demonstrated by obtaining profile measurements of a microstructure surface at a series of scanning speeds ranging from 0.1 to 20.0 mm/s.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to evaluate various core designs on stress distribution within zirconia crowns. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Three-dimensional finite element models, representing mandibular molars, comprising a prepared tooth, cement layer, zirconia core, and veneer porcelain were designed by computer software. The shoulder (1 mm in width) variations in core were incremental increases of 1 mm, 2 mm and 3 mm in proximal and lingual height, and buccal height respectively. To simulate masticatory force, loads of 280 N were applied from three directions (vertical, at a $45^{\circ}$ angle, and horizontal). To simulate maximum bite force, a load of 700 N was applied vertically to the crowns. Maximum principal stress (MPS) was determined for each model, loading condition, and position. RESULTS. In the maximum bite force simulation test, the MPSs on all crowns observed around the shoulder region and loading points. The compressive stresses were located in the shoulder region of the veneer-zirconia interface and at the occlusal region. In the test simulating masticatory force, the MPS was concentrated around the loading points, and the compressive stresses were located at the 3 mm height lingual shoulder region, when the load was applied horizontally. MPS increased in the shoulder region as the shoulder height increased. CONCLUSION. This study suggested that reinforced shoulder play an essential role in the success of the zirconia restoration, and veneer fracture due to occlusal loading can be prevented by proper core design, such as shoulder.

모래지반에 대하여 계측기를 부착한 강널말뚝을 진동항타하고 항타과정을 통해서 계측된 자료를 분석하여 진동항타시 강널말뚝의 진동항타거동을 살펴보았다. 특히, 강널말뚝에 대한 진동항타시 말뚝에 작용하는 응력, 이론적인 항타력과 실제 말뚝에 전달되는 힘의 차이를 반영하는 효율계수, 강널말뚝의 강체거동 여부, 지반의 동적 저항특성, 강널말뚝의 관입특성 등을 분석하였다. 강널말뚝의 진동관입시 말뚝은 거의 강체로 거동하였으며 말뚝머리부에 작용하는 응력의 최대값은 재료의 인장강도보다 상당히 작았다. 진동관입중 실제 말뚝머리부에 전달되는 최대하중은 이론식에 의해 계산된 값의 72% 정도였다. 가속도-시간이력곡선으로부터 4개의 관입깊이에 대해 유도된 변위-시간이력곡선에서의 변위진폭값은 진동기 공운전시의 진폭값의 약 16$\sim$75% 정도인 것으로 나타났다.
