A design of controller for vehicle dynamic control(VDC) and its implementation on the real vehicle were introduced. The controller has been designed using a three-degrees-of-freedom(3DOF) yaw plane vehicle, and the control algorithm was implemented on the vehicle by control prototyping system dSPACE. A hybrid control algorithm, which makes full use of the advantages of robust and fuzzy control, was adopted in the control system. Field test results show that the performance of the vehicle handling dynamics with hybrid controller is improved obviously compared to that without VDC and with simple robust controller on skiddy roads(friction coefficients lower than 0.3).

This paper presents a complex stochastic wheelbase preview control method of a motorcycle suspension based on hierarchical modeling method. As usual, a vehicle suspension system is controlled as a whole body. In this method, a motorcycle suspension with five Degrees of Freedom(DOF) is dealt with two local independent 2-DOF suspensions according to the hierarchical modeling method. The central dynamic equations that harmonize local relations are deduced. The vertical and pitch accelerations of the suspension center are treated as center control objects, and two local semi-active control forces can be obtained. In example, a real time Linear Quadratic Gaussian(LQG) algorithm is adopted for the front suspension and the combination of the wheelbase preview and LQG control method is designed for the rear suspension. The results of simulation show that the control strategy has less calculating time and is convenient to adopt different control strategies for front and rear suspensions. The method proposed in this paper provides a new way for the vibration control of multi-wheel vehicles.

It is well known that many real systems have asymmetric mass, damping and stiffness matrices. In this case, the method for calculating eigenpair sensitivity is different from that of symmetric system. To determine the derivatives of the eigenpairs in asymmetric damped case, a modal method was recently developed by Adhikari. When a dynamic system has many degrees of freedom only a few lower modes are available, and because the higher modes should be truncated to use the modal method, the errors may become significant. In this paper a procedure for determining the sensitivities of the eigenpairs of asymmetric damped system using a few lowest set of modes is proposed. Numerical examples show that proposed method achieves better calculating efficiency and highly accurate results when a few modes are used.

A novel set of experimental test tooling for measuring pulling and holding forces for drawbeads on binders inclined at a wide range of angles is introduced. A mechanical design featuring a single load cell, a male-female draw bead set, translation and rotation degrees of freedom, and a screw-driven clamping system has been incorporated into a standard tensile test machine. On a real time basis, restraining and holding force data with respect to draw-in displacement may be directly downloaded into a PC for data processing. The proposed experimental system represents a significant breakthrough in drawbead simulation technology due to its relatively low cost, clever design, and versatility. The system is shown to yield excellent experimental data suitable for verifying theory and numerical model predictions.

In this paper, we propose novel eigenstructure assignment method in full-state feedback for linear time-invariant MIMO system such that directions of some left eigenvectors are exactly assigned to the desired directions. It is required to consider the direction of left eigenvector in designing eigenstructure of closed-loop system, because the direction of left eigenvector has influence over excitation by associated input variables in time-domain response. Exact direction of a left eigenvector can be achieved by assigning proper right eigenvector set satisfying the conditions of the presented theorem based on Moore's theorem and the orthogonality of left and right eigenvector. The right eigenvector should reside in the subspace given by the desired eigenvalue, which restrict a number of designable left eigenvector. For the two cases in which desired eigenvalues are all real and contain complex number, design freedom of designable left eigenvector are given.

This research investigates the rising new role of mileage system as private e-money in a exploratory study. The key research questions are 'How does mileage system evolve with expansion of e-business and what are the cases for real experiences in 'money-like' mileage and their implications?' This research focuses on the proposition that mileage points created in commercial transactions as a royalty program are observed to serve a new role as payment tool. In an attempt to identify factors that determine mileage system as private money, we employ three factors: confidence, transaction cost, and monetary freedom. Also, this research proposes a direction for further research and follow-up studies to establish legal and institutional issues and the relevant architecture, all of which are essential elements to make the mileage points global money with a certain trade ratio in the near future.

Real time coordinate conversion of vessel was realized, we developed motion control algorithm of DC Servo Motor. We made servo control circuit and PCB, also We developed the system using 3-axis Gyro Sensor based Servo Motion Controller. For ship's movement simulation, we made the ship simulator of 6 degree of freedom. With a mounted camera on developed simulator, We tested the desired ship's movement, and the desired result of error tolerance was obtained.

Although the fuzzy logic controller is superior to the proportional integral derivative (PID) controller in motor control, the gain tuning of the fuzzy logic controller is more complicated than that of the PID controller. Using mathematical analysis of the proportional derivative (PD) and fuzzy logic controller, this study proposed a design method of a fuzzy logic controller that has the same characteristics as the PD controller in the beginning. Then a design method of a fuzzy logic controller was proposed that has superior performance to the PD controller. This fuzzy logic controller was designed by changing the envelope of the input of the of the fuzzy logic controller to nonlinear, because the fuzzy logic controller has more degree of freedom to select the control gain than the PD controller. By designing the fuzzy logic controller using the proposed method, it simplified the design of fuzzy logic controller, and it simplified the comparison of these two controllers.

In this paper. a robust gesture recognition system is designed and implemented to explore the communication methods between human and computer. Hand gestures in the proposed approach are used to communicate with a computer for actions of a high degree of freedom. The user does not need to wear any cumbersome devices like cyber-gloves. No assumption is made on whether the user is wearing any ornaments and whether the user is using the left or right hand gestures. Image segmentation based upon the skin-color and a shape analysis based upon the invariant moments are combined. The features are extracted and used for input vectors to a radial basis function networks(RBFN). Our "Puppy" robot is employed as a testbed. Preliminary results on a set of gestures show recognition rates of about 87% on the a real-time implementation.

A computer program for the linear elastic buckling anlalysis of thin walled members is developed using a 3-node triangular shell element. The element has real stiffness value for a kinematic degree of freedom associated with rotation about the surface normal at each node. The validity of the present computer program is demonstrated through the plate buckling analysis and the lateral-torsional buckling analysis of a straight beam. Then, simply supported circular arches subjected to uniform bending are analyzed and the results are compared with existing solutions.
