The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of forefoot rocker shoes equipped with a metatarsal bar on lower extremity muscle activity and plantar pressure distribution. Ten healthy women in the age of twenties were participated in this study as the subjects. All subjects walked on a treadmill(Gait Trainer, BIODEX, USA) wearing normal shoes and metatarsal bar shoes, during which the plantar pressure distribution and muscle activity were measured. Using Pedar-X system(Novel Gmbh, Germany), the plantar pressure was measured for six regions of the foot: forefoot, midfoot, rearfoot, 1st metatarsal, 2-3th metatarsal, and 4-5th metatarsal, and for each sub-region, 4 features such as maximum force, contact area, peak pressure, and mean pressure were analyzed based on the plantar pressure. EMG(Electromyography) activity was measured by attaching surface electrodes to the rectus femoris, biceps femoris, tibialis anterior, and gastrocnemius medial head, and magnitude of muscle contraction was analyzed in IEMG(Integrated EMG) value. The results show that the maximum force, contact area, peak pressure, and mean pressure in the midfoot all increased while maximum force, peak pressure, contact area, mean pressure in the 1st metatarsal and 2-3th metatarsal all decreased when wearing functional shoes. Also, muscle activities in the four muscles were all decreased when wearing the functional shoes. This paper suggests that forfoot rocker shoes equipped with a metatarsal bar can help disperse the high pressure and absorb the shock to the foot as well as give positive influence on gait pattern and postural stability by reducing muscle fatigue during walking.

The long-term durability of an FKM O-ring used as parts of a hydrogen station was investigated by exposing it to high-pressure gaseous hydrogen for 1, 3, and 7 days at room temperature. Changes in its sealing force were subsequently measured at 150℃ using intermittent compression stress relaxation (CSR). No changes in the tensile properties of FKM O-ring were observed, but its initial and overall sealing forces at 150℃ significantly decreased with increasing exposure time to hydrogen gas. Microvoid formation in the FKM O-ring upon exposure to high-pressure hydrogen was minimized over time after the ring was exposed to atmospheric pressure at room temperature, which prevented changes in its tensile properties. However, applying heat accelerated FKM O-ring oxidation, which decreased its sealing force. These results indicated that identifying changes in the sealing force of rubber materials using intermittent CSR is not sufficient for monitoring changes in mechanical properties under high-pressure hydrogen atmospheres; however, it is suitable for evaluating the long-term durability of sealing materials for hydrogen station applications under similar conditions.

This paper describes three kinds of experiments and analysis of their results related to human tactile sensitivity using an integrated tactile display system. The device can provide vibration, normal pressure and lateral slip/stretch which are important physical quantities to sense texture. We have tried to find out the efficient method of stimulating, limitation of surface discrimination by kinesthetic farce feedback and the effectiveness of the combination of kinesthetic force and tactile feedback. Seven kinds of different stimulating methods were carried out and they are single or combination of the kinesthetic force, normal static pressure, vibration, active/passive shear and moving wave. Both prototype specimen and stimulus using tactile display were provided to all examinees and they were allowed to answer the most similar sample. The experimental results show that static pressure is proper stimulus for the display of micro shape of the surface and vibrating stimulus is more effective for the display of fine surface. And the sensitivities of active touch and passive touch are compared. Since kinesthetic force feedback is appropriate to display shape and stiffness of an object, but roughness display has a limitation of resolution, the concurrent providing methods of kinesthetic and tactile feedback are applied to simulate physical properties during touching an object.

지진해일은 그 파랑이 연안 도시로 범람하여 육상 구조물에 피해를 주게 된다. 육상 구조물에 미치는 파압 및 파력에 대한 연구는 육상 구조물의 안정성 설계의 중요한 요인 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 단순화한 박스구조물에 미치는 지진 해일의 수평 파력 및 파압에 대한 2차원 단면 수리모형실험을 수행하였다. 시간에 따른 수평 파압의 수직 분포와 파력을 파압계와 파력계를 사용하여 계측하여 상호 비교하였다. 또한, 쇄파의 형태도 다양하게 고려하여 계측하였다. 쇄파된 파랑이 입사하는 경우 구조물에 미치는 수평 파력이 최대가 되는 순간에는 수평 파압이 수직적으로 균일하였고, 그 외의 경우에는 육상 저면에 가까울수록 수평 파압이 커지는 분포를 보였다. 최대 수평 파력을 다양한 입사파랑 조건에 대한 함수로 표현하기 위해 쇄파상사계수를 사용하여 수평 파력과의 관계식을 산출하였다. 그 결과 무차원화한 수평 파력은 쇄파상사계수가 증가함에 따라 지수적으로 감소하는 경향을 있음을 보였다.

터치 인터페이스는 스마트 디바이스에서 널리 사용하고 있는 입력 방식이다. 최근 터치 입력 방식에서 힘 인식을 포함한 새로운 방식의 터치 인터페이스인 포스터치가 등장하였다. 포스터치는 사용자의 입력을 위치 뿐 아니라 압력을 제공함으로서 한 번의 터치에 두 가지이상의 입력을 제공하여 제한된 공간에서 다양한 입력이 가능한 방식이다. 다양한 입력이 가능하기 때문에 포스터치를 이용하는 디바이스는 기존의 일반적인 터치를 이용하는 디바이스와는 다른 사용자 인터랙션이 요구된다. 이는 기존의 터치 방식이 포스터치에서 이용할 수 있는 입력의 깊이(depth)를 사용하지 못 하기 때문이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존의 포스터치를 제공하지 못 하는 스마트 디바이스에게 포스터치를 위한 방안으로 포스터치 커버를 제작한다. 제작된 포스터치 커버를 통해 압력을 측정하는 센서의 정확성과 압력을 가하는 위치에 따라 변화하는 압력값을 분석한다. 또한, 사용자가 포스터치를 사용할 때 요구하는 피드백(feedback) 시간을 분석하여 사용자 중심적인 포스터치 구현을 위한 방안을 제시한다.

The limit analysis and response surfaces method were combined to investigate the reliability of pressurized tunnel faces subjected to seismic force. The quasi-static method was utilized to introduce seismic force into the tunnel face. A 3D horn failure mechanism of pressurized tunnel faces subjected to seismic force was constructed. The collapse pressure of pressurized tunnel faces was solved by the kinematical approach. The limit state equation of pressurized tunnel faces was obtained according to the collapse pressure and support pressure. And then a reliability model of pressurized tunnel faces was established. The feasibility and superiority of the response surfaces method was verified by comparing with the Monte Carlo method. The influence of the mean of soil parameters and support pressure, variation coefficients, distribution type and correlation of c-φ on the reliability of pressurized tunnel faces was discussed. The reasonable safety factor and support pressure required by pressurized tunnel faces to satisfy 3 safety levels were presented. In addition, the effects of horizontal seismic force, vertical seismic force and correlation of k_h-k_v on the reliability of pressurized tunnel faces were also performed. The method of this work can give a new idea for anti-seismic design of pressurized tunnel faces.

Excessive pronation and impact force during running are related to various running injuries. To prevent these injuries, three type of running shoes are used, such as cushioning, stability, and motion control. Although there were may studies about the effect of midsole hardness on impact force, no study to investigate biomechanical effect of motion control running shoes. The purpose of this study was to determine biomechanical difference between cushioning and motion control shoes during treadmill running. Specifically, plantar and rearfoot motion, impact force and loading rate, and insole pressure distribution were quantified and compared. Twenty male healthy runners experienced at treadmill running participated in this study. When they ran on treadmill at 3.83 m/s. Kinematic data were collected using a Motion Analysis eight video camera system at 240 Hz. Impact force and pressure distribution data under the heel of right foot were collected with a Pedar pressure insole system with 26 sensors at 360 Hz. Mean value of ten consecutive steps was calculated for kinematics and kinetics. A dependent paired t-test was used to compare the running shoes effect (p=0.05). For most kinematics, motion control running shoes reduced the range of rearfoot motion compared to cushioning shoes. Runners wearing motion control shoe showed less eversion angle during standing less inversion angle at heel strike, and slower eversion velocity. For kinetics, cushioning shoes has the effect to reduce impact on foot obviously. Runners wearing cushioning shoes showed less impact force and loading rate, and less peak insole pressure. For both shoes, there was greater load on the medial part of heel compared to lateral part. For pressure distribution, runners with cushioning shoes showed lower, especially on the medial heel.
