The airbag system is known to be extremely efficient for the protection in an automobile crash. The performance of the airbag system is evaluated by real tests. However, the test is very difficult and expensive. Therefore, the computational simulations are carried out with low cost. The airbag analysis is included in the anlysis of the full-car crashworthiness. The behavior of the airbag can be predicted by a thermodynamic analysis. The contact force between the occupant and the airbag is calculated from the contact volume and the pressure in the airbag. The injury rate is evaluated from the contact force and the acceleration of dummies. So far, the contact is defined after the airgag is fully inflated. In many cases, the occupant is seated in the out-of-position and the contact can happen during the inflation process. A new algorithm has been developed for the out-of-position. To describe the inflation process precisely, the airbag is defined by a sphere and a torus. The injury is evaluated for the contact happened at any time. The developed algorithm is coded and interfaced with an existing software in the public domain. The full-car modeling is adopted from the previous study which is tuned for the regular position and real tests. Numerical experimentation have been carried out with a couple of dummies in the out-of-position and the injury processes are analyzed.

This study proposes compensation methods for the initial position error and torque ripple in vector control of two-phase hybrid stepping motors. Stepping motors have an asymmetrical structure due to misalignment, such as the eccentricity generated by the manufacturing and assembly process. When vector control is applied using the position information measured by an incremental encoder attached to the rotor shaft of such stepping motors, the following problems occur. First, an initial position error occurs during the forced excitation process for the initial rotor position alignment. Second, torque ripple corresponding to the mechanical rotation frequency is generated. In this study, these non-ideal phenomena that occur in vector control of the stepping motor are analyzed, and compensation methods are proposed to eliminate them. The validity of the proposed initial position error and torque ripple compensation methods is verified through experiments on a two-phase hybrid stepping motor drive system.

In both continuous-review and periodic-review non-stationary inventory systems, the non-stationary Poisson demand process and the associated inventory position processes were proved being mutually independent of each other, which lead to the probability distribution of the corresponding net inventory position process in the form of a finite product sum of those two process distributions. It is also discussed how these results can correspond to analytical stochastic inventory cost function formulations in terms of the probability distributions of the processes.

Under a continuous-review inventory system, the inventory position process was proved to be asymptotically independent of the general renewal demand processes, when the two processes form an asymptotic unimodel joint distribution. The analytical technique implemented through this work seems to be more like general, and so the periodic-review system can be similarly investigated. In conclusion, the results may be evaluated to direct to the analytical analyses of some inventory systems which have been treated under some restrictions on demand processes.

Most of machines are physically or chemically degenerated by continuous usage. There- fore, a preventive maintenance is necessary. Producing defects are caused by process shift in mean and variance which are due to three types of degeneration. We develope the function of process variance from the experimental data and determine the optimal tool wear limit and the initial setting position of tool by considering the percent defective cost and the preventive maintenance cost.

In general, machining time by electrical discharge machining (EDM) process is much longer than that of cutting process, so rough-cut has done for the purpose of reducing machining time prior to EDM Nowadays EDM speed is improving due to the advance of EDM capacity. Therefore a new method, machining a raw material directly by EDM without rough-cut, is used widely. EDM area is varies according to the EDM position in three-dimensional EDM process, so EDM parameters should be determined adaptively based on the EDM area to increase productivity. However it is difficult to calculate EDM area corresponding to the EDM position the EDM workers who have experience in shop floor determine machining parameters by experience. This paper proposes a method for determining EDM parameters based on EDM area corresponding to EDM position.

Planetary gear sets are widely used in power transmission components, which have high efficiency and good durability. Their most important design parameter is the load-sharing characteristics among several planetary gears. In this study, the load sharing of planetary gears was analyzed according to the carrier pinhole position error of planetary gear sets. The loads acting on planetary gears varied with the pinhole position error of the carrier, and the load sharing of planetary gears improved as the input load increased. In addition, the load of the planetary gear with a carrier pinhole position error was relatively higher than that of other planetary gears without carrier pinhole position errors. This trend appeared more clearly in the non-floating-type carrier than the floating-type carrier.

In recent years, the use of composite structures has become commonplace in various fields such as aerospace, architecture, and civil engineering. In this study, A method is proposed to find optimal position of bolt hole for fastening of composite structure. In the case of composites, stress distribution is very complicated, and design optimization based on this phenomenon increases difficulty. In selecting the optimum position of the bolt hole, the response surface method(rsm), which is a method of optimization, was applied. A response surface was created based on design points by multiple finite element analyzes. The position of the bolt hole that minimizes the stress when bolting on the response surface was found. The distribution of the stress at the position of the optimal hole was much lower than that of the initial design. Based on the results of this study, it is possible to increase the design safety factor of the structure by appropriately selecting the position of the bolt hole according to various load types when designing the structure and civil structure.

In this paper, we suggest how to adapt RFID system to train switching process, and then what we get the merit or problem. We analyze the train switching process to adapt RFID system on the process and have field test. The role of RFID system in train switching process is to automatically read car position information. The specification of the test system is 900MHz, and Gen2 passive tag. If we get the system which automatically read car position information in train switching yard, it prevents human errors and makes more reliability, the performance of train operation will grow up. Even though the environment of train switching yard is outdoors, the test result gives us the ability to adapt RFID system to train switching process and the process will be more simple.

Accuracy of dredging processes depends on the types of equipment used, the sediments encountered, whether the work to be performed is new or maintenance dredging, pre- and post-hydrographic surveying and so forth. Among those, position surveying accuracy which is directly determined by the control of the dredge's position and depth surveying accuracy being surveyed at the dredging point during dredging work are important factors. The purpose of this study is to develop 'Dredge Management System'for Grab dredge which is composed of 4 sub-system using LADGPS for dredge position determining system and dredging point determining system, tide gauge system and optical sensor for depth determining system and GIS and ENC for total management system. This system is installed on the grab dredge 'EUNJIN G-18'and applied to anchorage dredging work. at Pohang Harbor. The results revealed that this system is easy to operate, achieves good accuracy with only 45cm unevenness, reduces working period by 22 percent and saves cost 16.6 percent.
