In this study, we establish hyper-elastic haptic feedback in a virtual environment using finite element analysis techniques and develop a Force Torque (FT) sensor utilization method for application in tele-operation environments. In general, regarding haptic feedback data, in a tele-operation environment, the user is provided with feedback according to the measured force data when the model is inserted through an FT sensor. Conversely, in a virtual environment, the press-fitting model can be expressed through the spring-damper system rather than an FT sensor to provide feedback. However, unlike rigid and the elastic bodies, the hyper-elastic body represented by a spring-damper system in a virtual environment is a simple impedance model using stiffness and damping coefficients; it is limited in terms of providing actual feedback. Thus, in this study, haptic feedback was implemented using the data obtained from POD-RBF analysis results during hyper-elastic press-fitting experiments. The haptic feedback mechanism developed in this study was verified by comparing the FT sensor feedback data measured and calculated through hyper-elastic press-fitting experiments with spring-damper feedback data. Subsequently, the POD-RBF analysis feedback was compared and evaluated against the feedback mechanism of each environment through the test subject, and the similarities between the POD-RBF analysis feedback and FT sensor data feedback were verified.

Scoliosis is a complex musculoskeletal dieses requiring 3-D treatment with surgical instrumentation. To investigate the effects of correction surgery, a finite element model of personalized model of the scoliotic spine that will allow the design of clinical test providing optimal estimation of the post-operation results was developed. Three dimensional skeletal parts, such as vertebrae, clavicle and scapular were modeled as rigid bodies with keeping their morphologies. Kinematical joints and spring elements were adapted to represent the inter-vertebral disc and ligaments respectively. With this model, two types of surgery procedure, distraction procedure with Harrington device and rod derotation procedure with pedicle screw and rod system had been carried out. The obtained simulation results were comparatively corresponding to the post operational outcomes and successfully demonstrated qualitative analysis of surgical effectiveness. From this analysis, it has been found that the preparing of appropriate rod curvature and its insertion was more important than just performing the excessive derotation for scoliosis correction.

This paper describes the control system to suppress the load pendulation using tagline for the floating crane. Dynamic equation of motion of the floating crane and the load is derived using Newton's 2nd law and free body model. The floating crane and the load are assumed that they move in center plane. Each rigid body has 3 DOF (surge, heave, pitch), because it moves in two directions and rotates. Then, this system, which is composed of two rigid bodies, has 6 DOF. The gravitational force, the hydrostatic force, the hydrodynamic force and the tension of the wire rope are considered as external forces, which affect to the floating crane. To suppress the pendulation of the load, the tagline, which connects between the load and the float crane, is applied to the system. The tagline is composed of the spring and the wire rope. Proportional and Derivative control is used as a linear control algorithm. The results of the numerical analysis of the 3,600 ton floating crane show that the tagline system is effective to suppress the load pendulation.

본 연구에서는 2개의 질량을 갖는 1/4 차량모델을 이용하여 차량-궤도-교량간의 동적상호작용 현상을 표현하기 위해 비선형 헤르츠 접촉스프링(Nonlinear Hertzian Contact Spring)과 비선형 접촉감쇠장치(Nonlinear Contact Damper)를 도입하였다. 또한, 차량에 작용하는 하중은 차량의 중량외에 임의시간단계의 차륜재하위치인 레일답면(즉, 주행로상의 접촉면)에서의 변위가 제한조건식(Constraint Equation)으로 가해졌다. 이 변위제한조건식은 Penalty방법(Penalty Method)에 의해 구현되었으며, 해의 안정화(Stabilization)를 위한 기법과 제한조건오차보정반력(Reaction from Constraint Violation)을 도입하였다. 또한, 차량의 피칭운동을 표현하고, 다양한 차량/열차를 모형화하기 위해서 1/4 차량모델의 차체 및 대차프레임 간을 강체연결 및 핀이 있는 강체연결조건으로 모형화하였다. 시간적분방법으로는 Newmark계열의 시간적분법이 사용되었으며, 해의 정확성 확보를 위해 국지적 오차평가에 근거한 적응적시간간격기법(Adaptive Time-Stepping Scheme)을 도입하였다. 이러한 적응적시간간격기법을 도입하여 동적해석에서 시간간격의 크기를 자동적으로 결정함으로써 동적해석에서의 해의 정확성을 확보하고 시간적분에 소요되는 계산비용을 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

가상환경에 대한 현실감을 증강시키기 위해서는 햅틱 시스템의 안정성을 유지하면서 가상환경 모델의 강성을 최대한 크게 할 수 있는 방법이 필요하다. 이에 기존 연구에서 영차홀드 대신 일차홀드를 적용하는 방법이 제시되었고, 영차홀드를 이용할 때보다 가상 스프링의 안정성 영역을 더 크게 확보할 수 있음을 시뮬레이션을 통해 제시했다. 그렇지만 실제로 시스템을 구현하는 측면에서 보면, 영차홀드가 일반적이고 손쉬운 방법이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 영차홀드를 사용하지만, 일차홀드와 동등한 안정성 영역을 확보하기 위한 방법으로 외삽법과 고주파 영차홀드 출력 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법에 대한 시뮬레이션을 통해 고주파 영차홀드의 샘플링 주기가 작아질수록 가상 스프링의 안정성 영역이 일차홀드를 적용한 경우와 거의 같아짐을 보였고, 기존 연구에서 제시된 영차홀드만을 적용한 경우보다는 수 배에서 수십 배 안정성 영역이 더 커질수 있음을 보였다. 따라서 제안된 방법을 통해 가상 환경 속 강체에 대한 현실감을 증강시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

As the occupant safety receives more attention from automobile industries. protection systems have been developed quite well. Developed protection systems must be evaluated through real tests in crash environment Since the real tests are extremely expensive. computer simulations are replaced for some prediction of the real test In the computer simulation. it is very crucial to express the real environment precisely in the modeling precess. The energy absorbing(EA) steering system has a very important rote in vehicle crashes because the occupant can hit the system directly. In this study. the EA steering system is modeled precisely. analyzed for the safely and designed by an optimization technology. First. the EA steering system is disassembled by parts and modeled by segments and joints. The segments are modeled by rigid bodies in motion and they have resistances in contact. Spring-damper elements and force-deflection curves are utilized to represent the joints. The body block test is cal lied out to validate. the modeling. When the test results are not enough for the detailed modeling. the differences between tests and simulations are minimized to calculate unknown parameters using optimization. The established model is applied to a crash simulation of a full-car model and tuned again. After the modeling is finished. components of the steering system are designed by an optimization algorithm. In the optimization process. the compound injury of a driver is defined and minimized to determine the chracteristics of the components. The second. order approximation algorithm has been adopted for the optimization.
