To identify the bridge information from the response of test vehicles passing on it (also known as the indirect approach) has aroused the interest of many researchers thanks to its economy, easy implementation and less disruption to traffic. The surface roughness of bridge remains an obstacle for such method as it contaminates the vehicle response severely and thereby renders many vehicle-response-based bridge identification methods ineffective. This study aims to eliminate such effect with the responses of two different test vehicles. The proposed method can estimate the surface profile of a bridge based on the acceleration data of the vehicles running on the bridge successively, and obtain the normalized contact point response, which proves to be relatively immune to surface roughness. The frequencies and mode shapes of bridge can be further extracted from the normalized contact point acceleration with spectral analysis and Hilbert transform. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified numerically with a three-span continuous bridge. The influence of measurement noise is also examined.

Understanding the contact between wheel and rail is a starting point in railway vehicle dynamic research area and especially analysis for the contact geometry between wheel and rail is important. On the one hand, the critical speed as the natural characteristics of rolling-stock is generally tested on the roller rig. The geometrical characteristics of the wheel/roller contact on the roller rig are different from these of the general wheel/rail contact because the longitudinal radius of roller is not infinite compared with rail. Thus, in this paper we developed the algorithm to analyze the wheel/roller contact geometry of our roller rig which is constructed now and analyzed the difference between whee/roller contact and wheel/rail contact. In conclusion, we found that the yaw motion of wheelset and the roller radius influence the geometrical contact parameters in wheel flange contact area.

치과에 내원하는 주된 이유 중의 하나는 통증이며 이런 통증 치료시에 장시간의 개구는 저작근에 근육문제를 야기할 수 있다. 장시간의 근피로를 유발할 수 있는 치과진료실내에서의 치료로 인하여 두통, 저작근의 통증, 개구 장애, 저작 곤란 등을 유발할 수 있으며, 통증을 치료하기위하여 내원한 환자로서는 예상하지 못한 다른 국면의 통증에 맞부딪치게 된다. 물론 이악물기등의 악습관 그리고 과도한 껌저작등으로 인해서도 임상적으로 근쇠약감이 호소하며 이에 대해서는 실험적 근피로유도후에 근전도등을 이용하여 연구가 이루어져왔다. 근쇠약감 및 근피로로 인하여 교합양상의 변화를 주관적으로 호소하며 이 상태에서의 근육의 근전도 평가가 이루어져 왔던 것에 비하여 교합의 변화에 대해서는 평가가 미진하였다. 과도한 이악물기나 개구 및 껌 저작으로 인한 근피로가 교합양상에 미치는 변화를 평가하고 감각신경 변화로 인하여 근통증에 영향을 미치는 조사하고자 측두하악장애 증상이 없고 정상 범주의 교합을 가졌으며 교정치료나 3개 이상의 보철 치료를 받지 않은 지원자 총 24명(평균나이 25.7세)을 대상으로 하였다. 근 피로를 실험적으로 유발하기 위하여 이악물기, 장시간 개구 상태 유지, 주저작측으로 껌 저작을 시행하여 근피로를 느끼도록 하였다. 본 연구에서는 전기적 자극을 이용하는 뉴로미터를 이용하여 근통증시에 주저작측 삼차신경의 감각신경을 측정하였고, 근통증을 느끼는 시점에 근쇠약감이나 저작근 기능 장애로 인한 교합상태의 변화를 평가하기 위하여 T-scan II system을 이용하여 교합접촉, 교합력 등을 조사하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 1. 근피로는 장시간 개구 후에 가장먼저 느꼈으며 근통증을 느끼는 시간은 이악물기 후에 가장 빨리 나타났다. 근피로, 통증을 느끼는 시점에서의 근피로, 통증의 정도는 이악물기 후에 가장 높았다 2. 최초접촉시의 접촉시간 접촉력은 차이가 없었으며 교두간 접촉위에서 껌저작후 접촉시간, 장시간 개구 후와 껌저작후에 접촉력이 감소하였다. 최대접촉위에서는 장시간 개구후와 껌저작후에 접촉력이 감소하였다. 최종접촉위에서는 모든 실험적 근피로후에 접촉시간이 감소하였고 접촉력은 껌저작후에 감소하였다. 3. 실험적 근피로가 유발된 근육에서의 감각 변화는 보이지 않았다. 4. 접촉수는 실험적 근피로 유발후에 최초접촉위 최대 접촉위 그리고 최종접촉위에서 감소되는 양상을 보였다. 5. 접촉수의 주저작측에 따른 비교에서 좌측으로 껌을 저작한 군은 접촉수에 좌우측 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 우측으로 껌을 저작한 군에서는 좌측이 많았다. 결론적으로 구강내외에 발생하는 일련의 사건은 임상적으로 근쇠약감을 호소하는 경우 교합양상에 변화를 초래 할 수 있음을 확인 할 수 있었으며, 장시간의 개구나 이악물기, 과도한 저작등의 악구강계에 영향을 미칠 수 사건은 특히 치과치료 시에 교합 변화에 주의를 요함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Considering the dynamic performance and stability of railroad vehicles has begun to grab the attention because of developing the high speed train recently. A development based on an analysis of dynamics and verification has to be required to study the stability of vehicle performance. Several ways of analysis were using the look-up table to apply the wheel-rail contact characteristics quickly, whereas there is a constraint of the wheelset lateral displacement. In this study, an development of searching the wheel-rail contact position has been provided. The 2-point contact between wheel and rail during the driving condition can be calculated by numerical analysis. Moreover, a reliability is verified by comparing the result with a commercial program.

This paper presents a finger-shaped multisensor system which can measure the tyep and position of a target surface by contactl. The multi-sensor system consists of a sphere-shpaed optical tactile sensor located at the finger tip and a force/torque sensor located at the joint of a finger. The optial tactile sensor determines the type and position of the target surface using the shape and position of the CCD image of the touching area generated by a contact between the sensor and the taget surface. The force/torque sensor also determines the position and surface normal vector by applying the distributionof forces and torques t the contact point to the equations of finger shape. The measurements on the position and surface normal vector at a contact point obtined by two individual sensors are fused using a statistical method. The integrated sensor system has 0.8mm error in position measurement and 1.31$^{\circ}$ error in normal vector measurement. The developed sensor system has many applications, such as autonomous compliance control, automatic grasping and recognition, etc.

The Z-map model which is quite similar to the non-parametric patch is widely used to describe the shape of a surface because of its simplicity. Despite the inherent advantage of z-map model. it has drawbacks that there exists difficulty in expressing the vertical walls and its related contact treatment method. In the region of vertical walls, there is a convergence problem in searching the contact point. In this study a contact point finding scheme is presented, based on the z value of the z-map model on the sheet normal direction. To show the utility of this scheme a compared with the experimental results. The effects of the Z-map grid distances and the interpolations of the inside Z-map value are also discussed.

Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) is referred to as a three body tribological system, because it includes two solids in relative motion and the CMP slurry. On the assumption that the abrasives between the pad and the wafer could be a major reason not only for the friction force but also for material removal during polishing, the friction force generated during CMP process was investigated with the change of abrasive size and concentration of CMP slurry. The threshold point of average coefficient of friction (COF) with increase in abrasives concentration during interlayer dielectric (ILD) CMP was found experimentally and verified mathematically based on contact mechanics. The predictable models, Mode I (wafer is in contact with abrasives and pad) and Mode II (wafer is in contact with abrasives only), were proposed and used to explain the threshold point. The average COF value increased in the low abrasives concentration region which might be explained by Mode I. In contrast the average COF value decreased at high abrasives concentration which might be regarded to as Mode II. The threshold point observed seemed to be due to the transition from Mode I to Mode II. The tendency of threshold point with the variation of abrasive size was studied. The increase of particle radius could cause contact status to reach transition area faster. The correlation between COF and material removal rate was also investigated from the tribological and energetic point of view. Due to the energy loss by vibration of polishing equipment, COF value is not proportional to the material removal rate in this experiment.

In this paper, the dynamic crawling of a five-bar planar mechanism is investigated. One complete cycle of the crawling selected in this study consists of four different steps, i) sliding at one contact point between the mechanism and the ground, ii) changing its configuration without sliding at two contact points, iii) sliding at the other contact point, and iv) again changing its configuration without sliding at two contact points. In this type of crawling, the crawling mechanism maintains the shape of the parallel structure throughout a complete crawling cycle. The modeling algorithm for serial manipulators proposed by M. Thomas and et al.[1] is employed by introducing imaginary joints and links which represent the contact interfaces between the one end of the mechanism and the ground, while the other end of the mechanism is regarded as an end-effector of the imaginary serial manipulator which treats the reaction force and torque at the contact point as external forces. Then, a complete cycle of dynamic crawling of the mechanism is investigated through various computer simulations. The simulation result show that the stable crawling characteristics of the mechanism could be secured when the proper configurations depending on specified frictional constraints are met.
