Purpose: The objective of this paper was to compare test standards regarding the performance and safety of agricultural tractors to identify the differences in test conditions, measurement tolerances, and test procedures. Based on the comparison, some recommendations were proposed for possible revisions or improvements to current tractor test standards. Methods: The test standards and codes of major standards development organizations (SDOs), such as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE), EC type approval, and the board of actions of the Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratories (NTTL), were selected and analyzed. Comparison of the test standards: The ISO provides references for fuel and lubricants for tractor tests, and the OECD provides additional measurements for calculating fuel consumption characteristics during the power take-off (PTO) tests. The ISO, EC type approval, and the ASABE provide PTO protective device and the safety requirements. During drawbar power tests, seven transmission ratios are selected for fully automatic transmissions, according to the OECD. In case of hydraulic lift tests, ISO 789-2 and OECD Code 2 advise the use of a static lift force, while SAE J283 advises the use of additional dynamic lift capacity tests for a better representation of in-field operations. The OECD, the ISO, and EC type approval determine the seat index point (SIP), whereas the ASABE determines the seat reference point (SRP) for roll-over protective structure (ROPS) tests. Diversified measurement tolerances were among the braking performance test standards. The European Union (EU) has developed daily limits for vibration exposures with adaptations from ISO 2631-1. Electromagnetic compatibility evaluations are emerging of high-efficiency tractors due to the long-term conformance to electromagnetic emissions and interferences. Comparisons of tractor test standards discussed in this paper are expected to provide useful information for tractor manufacturers and standards development personnel to improve the performance and safety test standards of tractors.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the coordination between trunk flexion and lower limb extension contributing to vertical propulsion during sit-to-stand (STS) at different chair heights in the elderly. Methods: Ten elderly subjects were asked to stand up at their natural speed from different chair heights : (1) $90^{\circ}$ knee flexion; (2) $100^{\circ}$ knee flexion; (3) $110^{\circ}$ knee flexion; and (4) $120^{\circ}$ knee flexion. A standard chair without a backrest or armrests was used in this study. To remove inertial effects of upper limb movements, subjects were asked to stand up from a chair with their arms crossed at the chest. Mean of results of three trials were used in the analysis at different knee flexion angles. Distances moved by the shoulder for compensatory trunk movement was recorded by motion analysis and vertical force was recorded under foot using force plates. Distances moved by the shoulder and vertical ground reaction force measurements were analyzed using repeated ANOVA. Results: Distances moved by the shoulder significantly decreased with higher chair (p<0.05). Vertical forces were not significant difference on chair heights (p>0.05), but results of pairwise comparisons for vertical force revealed significant difference between $90^{\circ}$ knee flexion and $120^{\circ}$ knee flexion (p<0.05). Conclusion: Trunk movement is probably used as a compensatory mechanism at low chair heights to increase lift-off from sitting by the elderly.

The small craft including jet-board for leisure are commonly smaller than the general commercial vessels. For the floating vessel, the motion analysis is significantly important component to design the shape. It is, however, hardly predicting its behavior by using conventional boundary element method due to violating small amplitude assumption for potential theory. The computational fluid dynamics method can afford to simulate such small craft, but its grid system was not able to calculate motion, because movable body disturbs the grid system by confliction. The dynamics fluid body interaction model with over-set mesh system can be dealt with movable floating body under irregular ocean wave. In this study, several cases were considered to reveal that DFBI is essential method to predict floating body motion. The single phase simulate was conducted to establish the shape perfection, and then the validated vessel was simulated with ocean waves weather DFBI option on or off. Through the comparison, the results between the cases of DFBI on and off shows significantly difference. It was claimed that the DFBI was necessary not only to calculation body motion, but also to predict accurate drag and lift force on the floating body for small size craft.

A centrifugal fan design code was developed and packaged together with iDesignFan／sup TM／ as new models. This code generate centrifugal forward curved and backward curved bladed impeller optimally. It also predicts the aerodynamic performance and the overall sound pressure level of the rotating fan by assuming steady blade loading. The overall sound pressure level is used as an input parameter from the third loop of the designing process to acquire the most silent fan for the given aerodynamic performance parameters. With this kind of inverse design concept used in the code, the period of designing a fan is significantly shortened. A centrifugal fan design code, developed in this study and included in iDesignFan／sup TM／, predicts the aerodynamic performance such as design flow rate and static pressure. The aerodynamic performance in the design and off-design conditions is calculated by using the mean line analysis. For the steady loading calculation, the lift force distribution in a blade is used.

Described in this paper are the dynamic model and the dynamic performance of catenary-pantograph system for TGV-K(maximum operating speed of 300km/hr). Dynamic simulations showed that the system satisfies the performance criteria such as contact loss ratio, contact force and lift-off of the contact wire. It is also shown by the simulations that the dynamic behavior and contact performance of the system at the operating speed of 350km/hr are found unacceptable. Design parameters of the catenary-pantograph system should be optimized for the speed-up of the TGV-K.

Superconducting quantum phenomena are getting attention from the field of metrology area. Following its first successful application of Josephson effect to voltage standard, piconewton force standard was suggested as a candidate for the next application of superconducting quantum effects in metrology. It is predicted that a micron-sized superconducting Nb ring in a strong magnetic field gradient generates a quantized force of the order of sub-piconewtons. In this work, we studied the design and fabrication of Nb superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) on an ultra-thin silicon cantilever. The Nb SQUID and electrodes were structured on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer by dc magnetron sputtering and lift-off lithography. Using the resulting SOI wafer, we fabricated V-shaped and parallel-beam cantilevers, each with a $30-{\mu}m$-wide paddle; the length, width, and thickness of each cantilever arm were typically $440{\mu}m,\;4.5{\mu}m$, and $0.34{\mu}m$, respectively. However, the cantilevers underwent bending, a technical difficulty commonly encountered during the fabrication of electrical circuits on ultra-soft mechanical substrates. In order to circumvent this difficulty, we controlled the Ar pressure during Nb sputtering to minimize the intrinsic stress in the Nb film and studied the effect of residual stress on the resultant device.

본 논문에서는 외팔보 배열 구조를 가지는 MEMS 테스트 소켓을 SOI 웨이퍼를 이용하여 개발하였다. 외팔보는 연결부분의 기계적 취약점을 보완하기 위해 모서리가 둥근 형태를 가지고 있다. 측정에 사용 된 BGA IC 패키지는 볼 수 121개, 피치가 $650{\mu}m$, 볼 직경 $300{\mu}m$, 높이 $200{\mu}m$ 을 가지고 있다. 제작된 외팔보는 길이 $350{\mu}m$, 최대 폭 $200{\mu}m$, 최소 폭 $100{\mu}m$, 두께가 $10{\mu}m$인 곡선 형태의 외팔보이다. MEMS 테스트 소켓은 lift-off 기술과 Deep RIE 기술 등의 미세전기기계시스템(MEMS) 기술로 제작되었다. MEMS 테스트 소켓은 간단한 구조와 낮은 제작비, 미세 피치, 높은 핀 수와 빠른 프로토타입을 제작할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. MEMS 테스트의 특성을 평가하기 위해 deflection에 따른 접촉힘과 금속과 팁 사이의 저항과 접촉저항을 측정하였다. 제작된 외팔보는 $90{\mu}m$ deflection에 1.3 gf의 접촉힘을 나타내었다. 신호경로저항은 $17{\Omega}$ 이하였고 접촉저항은 평균 $0.73{\Omega}$ 정도였다. 제작된 테스트 소켓은 향 후 BGA IC 패키지 테스트에 적용 가능 할 것이다.

PSC 구조물에 사용되는 긴장재의 마찰계수는 긴장작업시 긴장력 관리를 위한 기본적인 정보가 된다. 그러나, 마찰계수는 국내외 설계기준별로 큰 차이가 있어 실무자들에게 혼란을 주어 왔다. 이 연구에서는 먼저 국내외의 관련 설계기준을 비교 분석하여 현재 통용되고 있는 마찰계수의 범위를 파악해 보았다. 그리고 긴장시의 신장량과 긴장력과 같은 실측값과 마찰계수에 대한 이론식을 조합하여 파상 및 곡률 마찰계수값을 역으로 유추할 수 있는 절차를 제안하였다. 예제로서 ILM, FCM 및 MSS 공법으로 시공된 국내 PSC 교량들을 대상으로 다양한 형상을 가진 텐던들에 제안된 절차를 적용하였다. 이를 통해 계산된 마찰계수값들을 설계기준이나 긴장시 가정되었던 값들과 비교하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 합리적인 마찰계수값의 범위에 대해 논하였다. 이 때 몇몇 교량에서는 lift-off 시험으로 고정단 긴장력을 추가적으로 측정하여 결과를 검증하는데 참조하였다. 파상 마찰계수의 경우 AASHTO 기준만큼 작은 값은 아니지만 국내 기준의 하한값에서 중간값 정도에 분포했다. 한편, 곡률 마찰계수는 국내 기준의 상한값에 가깝거나 이를 다소 상회하는 것으로 나타났다.

우리나라 해안공학계에서 신뢰성 기반설계가 빠르게 체화되는 계기를 제공하기 위해 다 수의 한계상태를 지닌 직립방파제 신뢰성 해석과 신뢰성 기반 최적 설계를 우리나라를 대표하는 항이 운영 중인 부산, 군산 전면해역을 대상으로 수행하였다. 이 과정에서 상당한 정도의 신뢰성 해석을 수행하기 위해, 특정 재현 빈도의 설계 파 사용은 지양하였으며, 직립방파제의 파괴 여부를 결정하는 확률변수인 파력, 양력, 전도 모멘트에 내재한 불확실성은 장기 파랑 관측자료를 빈도 해석하여 얻은 확률모형을 사용하여 기술하였다. 직립식 방파제의 한계상태는 활동, 전도, 지지력을 고려하여 세 개로 구성하였으며, 파력과 양력, 모멘트 사이의 밀접한 상관성은 Nataf 결합확률분포를 사용하여 기술하였다. 모의 결과, 쉽게 예상해볼 수 있듯 활동만을 고려하는 경우 파괴확률이 과소하게 산출되는것을 확인하였으며, 특정 재현 빈도에 근거한 설계 파랑으로는 방파제 파괴확률을 일정하게 담보할 수 없다는 것을 확인하였다. 이에 비해 신뢰 지수가 𝛽 = 3.5~4를 충족하도록 최적 설계된 방파제는 두 해역에서 모두 균질한 파괴확률을 확보하는 것으로 모의 되었다.
