In this study, the effects of flexible bodies in vehicle suspension components were investigated to enhance the accuracy of multibody dynamic simulation results. Front and rear suspension components were investigated. Subframes, a stabilizer bar, a tie rod, a front lower control arm, a front knuckle, and front struts were selected. Reverse engineering techniques were used to construct a virtual vehicle model. Hard points and inertia data of the components were measured with surface scanning equipment. The mechanical characteristics of bushings and dampers were obtained from experiments. Reaction forces calculated from the multibody dynamics simulations were compared with test results at the ball joint of the lower control arm in both time-history and range-pair counting plots. Simulation results showed that the flexibility of the strut component had considerable influence on the lateral reaction force. Among the suspension components, the flexibility of the sub-frame, steering knuckle and upper strut resulted in better correlations with test results while the other flexible bodies could be neglected.

In this paper, we propose a fast and robust algorithm for fighting behavior detection based on Motion Vectors (MV), in order to solve the problem of low speed and weak robustness in traditional fighting behavior detection. Firstly, we analyze the characteristics of fighting scenes and activities, and then use motion estimation algorithm based on block-matching to calculate MV of motion regions. Secondly, we extract features from magnitudes and directions of MV, and normalize these features by using Joint Gaussian Membership Function, and then fuse these features by using weighted arithmetic average method. Finally, we present the conception of Average Maximum Violence Index (AMVI) to judge the fighting behavior in surveillance scenes. Experiments show that the new algorithm achieves high speed and strong robustness for fighting behavior detection in surveillance scenes.

The scale of repair parts market reached 0.1 billion won. Above all, it is remarkable that the automotive insurance business world is paying f3r 40 ~5o% of the whole repair cost. The repair parts consist of a genuine parts, non-genuine parts, recycling used parts. It is the recent trend that recycled parts are more popular than the genuine parts f3r repairing crashed cars due to the cost. Performance of recycled continuous velocity(CV) joints and power steering(PS) gear box as replacement parts was tested and analysed in this study. To examine the durability of the recycled parts, the replaced CV joints and PS gear box after repair were tested and analysed periodically. The results were showed that basic performance of the recycled parts was normal. However the ball cage of CV joints was more frequently damaged than genuine parts. We concluded that a test standard and amendment of related laws for recycled parts is required to get a safe and durable parts.

On-line electric vehicle (OLEV) is a new eco-friendly transportation system that collects electricity from a power cable buried beneath the road surface, allowing the system to resolve various problems associated with batteries in electric vehicles. This paper presents a finite element (FE) based thermo-mechanical analysis of precast concrete structures that are utilized in the OLEV system. An experimental study is also conducted to identify materials used for a joint filler, and the observed experimental results are applied to the FE analysis. Traffic loading and boundary conditions are modeled in accordance with the related standards and environmental characteristics of a road system. A series of structural analyses concerning various test scenarios are conducted to investigate the sensitivity of design parameters and to evaluate the structural performance of the road system.

Recently, there is a great demand for precast reinforced concrete (RC) construction methods on the purpose of simplicity in construction. Nishimatsu Construction Company has developed a construction method with precast reinforced concrete members in medium-rise building. In this construction method, how to joint precast members, especially the anchorage of the main bar of beam, is important problem. In this study, the structural performance of exterior joints with precast members was investigated. The parameters of the test specimens are anchorage type of the main bar of beam (U-shape anchorage or anchorage plate) and the ratio of the column axial force to the column strength. Specimens J-3 and J-4 used U-shape anchorage and the ratio of the column axial force of specimen J-4 was higher. On the other hand, specimens J-5 and J-6 used anchorage plate, and the anchorage lengths are 15d and 18d, respectively. Experimental results are summarized as follows; 1) For the joints with beam flexural failure mode, it was found that the maximum strength of specimen with anchorage plate is equal to or larger than that of specimen with conventional U-shaped anchorage if the anchorage length of more than 15d would be ensured, 2) Each specimen shows stable hysteretic curves and there were no notable effects on the hysteretic characteristics and the maximum strength caused by the anchorage method of beam main bar and the difference of column axial stress level.

The study aims to identify the factors affecting employee loyalty in the case of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Tra Vinh province, Viet Nam and to find out critical factors affecting the loyalty of employees in SMEs. This is implemented with the method of collecting primary data of 320 employees working at SMEs in 5 districts including: Cau Ngang, Tra Cu, Chau Thanh, Cang Long, Tieu Can) and Tra Vinh City, Viet Nam. Using the multivariate regression method, the researchers have found 6 factors affecting employee loyalty: colleagues, leaders, job characteristics, remuneration policies, organizational culture, and working environment. Particularly, learning opportunities may not be not statistically significant for employees' loyalty towards small and medium-sized enterprises in Tra Vinh province. From the above research results, the authors have proposed implicational piolicies such as: focusing on colleague relationships, improving leadership of business owners, attaching importance to appropriate work arrangement, having appropriate remuneration policies for laborers, building effective organizational culture and working environment to improve employee loyalty at SMEs. From the above policy implications, helping business owners realize the aspirations of workers in small and medium-sized enterprises more closely in the future, in order to sustainably develop the business system in Vietnam.

생활수준이 향상 될수록 로봇이 인간의 노동을 대신하는 요소는 더욱 많아지고 있다. 하지만 대부분의 로봇이 지면에 고정된 장치산업에 국한되어 있기 때문에, 폭넓은 응용가치가 기대되는 휴먼 로봇에 대한 필요성이 강조되고 있다. 휴먼로봇은 사람을 대신하기 위한 목적으로 많은 연구가 진행되고 있지만, 관련 하드웨어의 부족으로 매우 단순하고 제한적으로 적용되고 있다. 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위해 본 연구에서는 기구학적인 메커니즘과 제어장치를 개발하여, 어깨와 팔을 3자유도 형태로 마스트 암을 구성하고, 관절변수의 특성과 엔드-이펙터 궤적실험을 통하여 사람과 유사한 동작을 재현하였다.

T-type and H-type section steels were generally used in shipbuilding and offshore plants and were produced by welding technology. These section steels were produced by handwork, and the supplying amounts can't satisfy the demand amounts of the fabrication companies. In case of fillet welding, there are some gaps in weld-joint region due to no groove preparation processing and it can occur crack initiation in the welded region. It is important to evaluate the microstructural and mechanical properties of welded zone to solve these problems. To satisfy the demand amounts of T-bar parts, automatic welding technology was introduced and several conditions as a function of welding speeds were carried out to improve the manufacturing speed. Heat-affected zone may be affected by variation of heat input and cooling rate through automatic welding speed and welding speed is necessary to be optimized. In this study, fusion zone and heat-affected zone were investigated by microstructural and mechanical analysis and were evaluated whether the welded parts were sound or not.
