A numerical procedure for contact analysis and calculating subsurface stress was developed. The procedure takes the advantage of signal processing technique in frequency domain to achieve shorter computing time. Boussinesq's equation was adopted as a response function in contact analysis. The validity of this procedure was proved by comparing the numerical results with the exact solutions. The fastness of this procedure was also compared with other algorithm.

In this paper, an optimization method of thin walled beam structures is proposed, Stiffnesses of a thin walled beam are characterized by the thickness of thin plates and the shape of the typical section of the beam. Explicit formula for section properties such as area, area moment of inertia, and torsional constants are derived using the response surface method. The explicit formula can be used for the optimal design of a structural system which consists of complicated thin walled beams. A vehicle structural system is optimized to demonstrate the proposed method.

In order to catch the relationship between psychophysiological symptoms and human work performance, the ERP technique was adopted as a measure, and two different tasks - a counting task and an Odd-Ball task were conducted. According to the results, the P300 amplitude during the counting task was not so high as that during the Odd Ball task, and correct response corresponded with stable ERP with high P300 amplitude whereas wrong response with unstable, fluctuating ERP with low P300 amplitude, Therefore it was concluded that it would be possible to grasp the symptoms of human errors with the help of psycho-physiological technique.

The purpose of this study is to measure the compression temperature in cylinder by using the fine thermocouple. As for using the thermocouple, it's response time delay should be regarded, even if it is a fine one. So, the output of thermocouple needs some compensation. The compensation circuit, which consists of a differential and an adding circuit is used for the compensate the time lag. And the time constant of the compensation circuit is determined the time between the TDC and the maximum point of the thermocouple output. Using this compensation circuit, the compression temperature is investigated of the cylinder in the diesel engine.

When a deployed probe is biased by a high positive potential during a space experiment, the payload is induced to a negative voltage in order to balance the total current in the whole system. The return currents are due to the responding ions and secondary electrons on the payload surface. In order to understand the current collection mechanism, the process was simulated with a combination of resistor, inductor, and capacitor in SPICE program which was equivalent to the background plasma sheath. The simulation results were compared with experimental results from SPEAR-3 (Space Power Experiment Aboard Rocket-3). The return current curve in the simulation was compatible to the experimental result, and the simulation helped to predict the transient plasma response to a high voltage during the plasma sheath formation.

An aerostatic stage has frictionless behavior, so it has a advantage of investigation into positioning characteristics. A one-dimensional aemstatic ceramic stage with ballscrew driven and laser scale feedback system is manufactured. aiming at investigating positioning characteristic of aerostatic stage, especially position error and repeatability, we analyze positioning behavior with other factors such as angular error, temperature. Experimemal results show that the aerostatic stage has a l0nm micro step response. Comparing experimental results and calculated abbe's error, we confirm that mean of position error is owing to angular error. And, also we confirm the temperature is dominant factor of repeatability in ten nm order.

This paper presents a performance Analysis of electrically exhaust gas recirculation valve using commercial electromagnetic simulation software, Flux2D. Under the assumption of 2D axi-symmetric magnetic field, the characteristics of EEGR valve by revising the design parameter, has ken investigated by estimating the variation of thrust force with respect to the pintle position. The mode shapes and the frequency response functions were computed by using three dimensional finite element modeling of the whole EEGR valve and their accuracies were verified with experimental FFT analysis technique.

The character of a recombinant bioluminescent bacteria's light emission enables us to monitor toxicity in water, soil and air. In this study, various bioluminescent responses to water samples containing toxic chemicals, such as phenol and mitomycin C, were obtained and analysed through the use of a multi-channel two-stage minibioreactor system. The bioluminescent pattern from each channel can be used as a standard for identifying the degree of toxicity in field samples. When various concentrations of toxic chemicals were injected in a step manner, different bioluminescent patterns were obtained. Also this system showed variation in its bioluminescent pattern as the injection manner was changed, i.e. using a modified version of the bell-curve type injection. In conclusion, the toxicity was shown to be related with the bioluminescent response when using these standard bioluminescent patterns. Comparing this standard with a bioluminescent response from a field sample, we can estimate the degree of which the sample is toxic.

In this work, we proposed a reflective antiferroelectric liquid crystal display (AFLCD) using a half-wave cell whose inplane tilt angle is $22.5^{\circ}$. To check the validity of our design, we fabricated a reflective half-wave AFLC cell of which inplane tilt angle is $24.9^{\circ}$, and measured VIS reflection spectra, contrast ratio and response time. In the results, the half-wave AFLC cell in the reflective configuration exhibits high brightness, high contrast ratio of 20:1, and fast response time of $700{\mu}s$.

As many sensors and actuators are used in various automated systems, the application of network to real-time distributed control system is gaining acceptance in many industries. In order to take advantages of networking, however, the network should be carefully designed to satisfy real-time distributed control. This paper presents an implementation method of closed-loop control using Profibus-FMS. In order to implement a closed-loop control system, we used industrial computers with Profibus-FMS network cards and a DC servo motor. Through various experiments, the step response of the control system with network was compared with the reference response without network.
