Geometric probing addresses the problem of determining geometric aspects of a structure from the mathematics and results of a physical measuring device such as a probe. This paper presents a new algorithm to recognize the shape of an unknown object by using a robot hand with a force and torque sensor. The new algorithm is called S.E.P.(Shape Exploration Procedure) which finds the global shape of an unknown object. The proposed method is composed of three major parts, finding contact informations such as contact point, calculation of shape information such as curvature, and expression of global shape from these informations. Comparing with the conventional approaches, the advantages of the proposed method are explained and verified by conducting experiments with a 3-dof SCARA robot.

This paper presents techniques for evaluation and compensation of total measuring errors in a commercial CMM. The probe errors as well as the machine geometric errors are assessed from probing of the mechanical artefacts such as shpere, step, and rings. For the error compensation, the integrated volumetric error equations are considered, including the probe error adn the machine geometric error. The error compensation is performed on the absolute scale coordinate system, in order to overcome the redundant degree of freedom in the CMM with multi-axis probe. A interface box and corresponding software driver are developed for data intercepting/correction between the machine controller and machine, thus the volumetric errors can be compensated in real time with minimum interference to the operating software and hardware of a commercial CMM. The developed system applied to a practical CMM installed on the shop floor, and demonstrated its performance.

As a part II of theis research, new local inspection planning strategy is proposed in this paper based on the proposed inspection feature extraction method. In the local inspection planning stage, each feature is decomposed into its constituent geometric elements for more effective inspection planning. The local inspection planning for the decomposed features are performed to determine: (1) the suitable number of measuring points, (2) their locations, and (3) the optimum probing paths to minimize measuring errors and times. The fuzzy set theory, the Hammersley's algorithm and the TSP method are applied for the local inspection planning. Also, a new collision checking algorithm is proposed for the probe and/or probe holder based on the Z-map concept. Finally, the results are simulated and analyzed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

This paper presents a methodology of machining error compensation by using Artificial Neural Network(ANN) model based on the inspection database of On-Machine-Measurement(OMM) system. First, the geometric errors of the machining center and the probing errors are significantly reduced through compensation processes. Then, we acquire machining error distributions from a specimen workpiece. In order to efficiently analyze the machining errors, we define two characteristic machining error parameters. These can be modeled by using an ANN model, which allows us to determine the machining errors in the domain of considered cutting conditions. Based on this ANN model, we try to correct the tool path in order to effectively reduce the errors by using an iterative algorithm. The iterative algorithm allows us to integrate changes of the cutting conditions according to the corrected tool path. Experimentation is carried out in order to validate the approaches proposed in this paper.

The objective of this research is to develop a measurement error compensation method for On-Machine Measurement (OMM) process based on a closed-loop configuration. Geometric errors of vertical machining center are measured using ball-bar system, and probing errors are measured using master ball. The errors are represented using homogeneous trans-formation matrices and the closed-loop configuration method is applied to calculate 3-dimensional errors. To verify the effectiveness of the method proposed in this research, compensated results are compared to the data using CMM process, and the results are analyzed. The results show the proposed method can be applied in OMM process to make the measured data more reliable.

A feature-based inspection planning system is proposed in this research to develop more efficient measuring methodology for the OMM(On-Machine Measurement) or CMM(coordinate Measuring Machine) for complicated workpiece having many primitive form features. This paper is proposed solution that optimum inspection sequence of the objective features. The sequences are determined by analyzing the feature information such as the nearest relationship and the possible probe-approach direction(PAD) of the features, and forming feature groups. A series of heuristic rules are developed to accomplish it. Also, each feature is decomposed into its constituent geometric elements for inspection process, and then the number of sampling points, location of the measuring points, optimum probing path are determined.

A feature-based inspection planning system is proposed in this research to develop more efficient measuring methodology for the OMM (On-machine measurement) for complicated workpiece having many primitive form features. This paper focuses on the development of the CAIP (computer-aided inspection system) methodologies. The optimum inspection sequences for the features are determined by analyzing the feature information such as the nested relations and the possible probe approaching directions of the features, and forming feature groups. A series of heuristic rules are developed to accomplish it. Also, each feature is decomposed into its constituent geometric elements, and then the number of sampling points, the locations of the measuring point, the optimum probing path are determined by applying the fuzzy logic, Hammersley's method, and the TSP algorithm. To verify the proposed methodologies, simulations are carried out and the results are analyzed.

Steel shear wall possesses priority over many of the current lateral load-bearing systems due to reasons like higher elastic stiffness, desirable ductility and energy absorption, convenience in construction and implementation technology, and economic criteria. Besides these advantages, this system causes increase in the dimensions of other structural elements due to its high stiffness as one of its intrinsic characteristics. One of the methods for stiffness reduction is perforating the wall panel and creating openings in the wall that can also be used as windows or ducts in buildings service period. The aim of the present study is probing the appropriate geometric shape and location of opening to fulfil economic criterion plus technical and seismic design criteria. In the present research, a number of possible while reasonable opening shapes and locations are defined in various sizes for some steel shear wall specimens. The specimens are modelled in ABAQUS finite elements software and analyzed using nonlinear pushover analysis. Finally, the analyses' results are reported as force-displacement diagrams and the strength, the initial stiffness and the energy absorption are calculated for all specimens and compared together. The obtained results show that both shape and location of the openings affect the seismic parameters of the shear wall. The specimens in which the openings are further from the center and closer to the columns possess higher stiffness and strength while the specimens in which the openings are closer to the center show more considerable changes in their seismic parameters in response to increase in opening area.

Purpose : This article is to describe a modified device for intraoral radiography which was developed to obtain reproducible radiographic images for assessment of distal osseous defects of the mandibular second molar (2 Mm) after impacted third molar (3 Mm) surgery. Materials and Methods : A commercial available alignment system for posterior region was modified by adding a reference gauge pin (millimetric) and threading a hollow acrylic cylinder at the ring of the radiographic positioner to attach the X-ray collimator. The design included customized resin acrylic stent for the occlusal surface of the 2Mm in maximum intercuspal position, individualizing the biteblock positioner. Periapical radiographs were taken before and after surgical extraction of 3 Mm, employing the radiographic technique of parallelism described by Kugelberg (1986) with this modified film holder and inserting the gauge pin on the deepest bone probing depth point. Results : This technique permitted to obtain standardized periapical radiographs with a moderate to high resolution, repeatability, and accuracy. There was no difference between the measurements on the pre- and post-operative radiographs. This technique allowed better maintenance of the same geometric position compared with conventional one. The insertion of the gauge pin provided the same reference point and localized the deepest osseous defect on the two-dimensional radiographs. Conclusion : This technique allowed better reproducibility in posterior radiographic records (distal surface of 2 Mm) and more accurate measurements of radiographic bone level by the use of a millimetric pin.

세기관지의 구조와 이상유무의 신속 정확한 측정을 위해 세계적으로 활발히 연구되고 있는 에어로졸볼러스기법을 확립하기 위하여, 호흡과정 중 흡기에 공급된 입자펄스가 호흡의 진행에 따라 인체기관지내에서 대류분산된 결과로 호기중 입자농도의 증가된 분포폭을 측정하는 장치를 개발하고 이를 이용한 검증실험을 수행하였다. 개발된 장치는 인체에 무해한 sebacic acid를 이용하여 평균입경이 1 $\mu$m이고 기하표준편차가 1.2정도인 임자를 $10^{9}$개/cc 정도의 고농도로 발생하고, 솔레노이드밸브를 이용하여 호흡중의 원하는 시점에 정확히 짧은 펄스형태로 입자를 공급하며, 레이저광산란을 이용하여 흡기와 호기중의 입자농도의 시간변화를 측정한다. 흡기중의 농도분포는 매우 매끈한 분포를 보임으로써 발생장치와 측정장치의 정강작동은 잘 검증되었다. 농도의 시간변화 측정치로부터 계산된 분산도를 1차원 대류확산방정식 이론치 및 외국에서 보고된 실험결과와 비교한 격과, 입자도달깊이에 따른 분산도의 변화에 대한 정성적인 실험결과는 이론치와 상당히 잘 일치하고 기존의 결과보다도 견과의 산포가 개선되었다. 다만 아직도 산포가 상당히 남아있어 개선의 여지를 가지고 있으며, 외국 결과와의 분산도의 타이는 신체조건의 타이 등으로 파악되었다. 산포도의 개선을 위해서는 호흡시에, 특히 최고농도점 부근에서, 호흡유량이 일정하게 유지되어야만 불규칙 이차파형의 형성을 방지하여 측정결과의 해석에 오차를 줄일 수 있음을 확인하였다.
