In this paper, we propose a method for compliance control of a SCARA type 2-freedom direct drive(DD) manipulator. Each joint of the manipulator is driven by a travelling ultrasonic motor(USM). The travelling USM has good some characteristics over conventional servo motors such as compact size, light weight, silent motion, high torque and high speed response. By controlling the elasticity and viscosity of robot joints, a robot can work in compliance with external environment. we control the elastic coefficient and the viscous coefficient of joint by adjusting the phase difference of the motor power. And we contemplate transient response of USM with adjusting the elastic coefficient and the viscous coefficient. To use the result, we can control the robot to reach its goal with compliance motion. It remains for further research to develop the impedance control of USM.

A method for the mixing augmentation of the transverse injection of fuel in a Scramjet combustor is suggested. Based on the fact that the main factor controlling the mixing characteristics in transverse injection is the effective back-pressure (the pressure around the injection hole) it is tried to make a flow expansion near the injection port in order to reduce effective back-pressure. A three dimensional Navier-Stokes code adopting the upwind method of Roe#s flux difference splitting scheme is used. The k-w SST turbulence model turbulence model is used to calculate the turbulent viscosity. It is shown that the reducing of the effective back-pressure make it possible to increase the penetration distance and to increase the mixing rate without excessive losses of stagnation pressure. Also, it is shown that the streamwise vorticity generated by baroclinic torque has great influences on the mixing process.

MR fluid is a suspension of micrometer-sized magnetizable particles in silicon oil and a functional fluid whose apparent viscosity can be controlled by the applied magnetic field strength. In this paper, a rotary brake using MR fluid called MR brake for tension control of precision machinery such as roll-to-roll printing machinery is presented. First, to obtain the higher performance than conventional powder brake, a MR brake with a modified rotor shape is newly designed and analyzed using FEM. Second, the prototype of MR brake is fabricated with the optimized structural parameters and an experimental apparatus is constructed. Then, basic characteristics of the MR brake are investigated with the different MR fluids. Finally, the validity of the developed MR brake is verified through the comparison with the conventional powder brake.

This study have Investigated the effect of various factors related to the physical properties of vulcanizated rubber compounds. rubber type, carbon black type and carbon black loading were selected as main factors and evaluation were tested by tables of orthogonal arrays with 3 factors and 3 levels. rubber types have affected cure time, tensile strength, and $T_g$ as main factor and carbon black loading have affected viscosity, scorch time, maximum torque, hardness, 300% modulus, rebound, heat build-up, $0\;&\;60^{\circ}C$ tangent delta, PICO and CUT/CHIP loss as main factor but the effects of carbon black type have affected only bound rubber content.

Silica-filled rubber compounds have slower cure characteristics than carbon black-filled ones due to the adsorption of curatives on the silica surface. Fatty acid was used as a cure activator along with zinc oxide in a sulfur cure system. Poly(ethylene glycol), PEG, was used in silica-filled rubber compounds to prevent adsorption of the curatives on the silica surface. In this study, influence of the size of fatty acid and PEG on properties of silica-filled NR compounds was investigated. It was found that the size of fatty acid and PEG affected the curt: characteristics and physical properties. The cure rate becomes faster as the PEG size increases. By increasing the size of fatty acid or PEG, the delta torque of the compound decreases while the Mooney viscosity increases. The modulus of the vulcanizate decreases with increasing the molecular weight of fatty acid or PEG. The experimental results were explained by the filler dispersion and by the prevention of the curative-adsorption on the silica surface.

The development of a robot system being able to work instead of human in the hazardous environment have been conducted for many year. In this study, the new design of controllers for the Master-Slave system is discussed. The Master-Slave system, force, velocity and torque signals are communicated between a master and a slave system. the conventional requires the enhancement of characteristics of tactility for minute force, precision signals and mechanical abrasion of loader. It is possible b controlling the viscosity of ERF(Electro-rheological fluid) since it varies with the electric field. Design of controller as well comparison between numerical simulation and experiments as will be presented. Futhermore, current methodology is also applicable to design of tele-surgery

In this paper, thermohydrodynamic characteristics of large tilting pad journal bearings which have $3\~8$ tilting pads were numerically analyzed. The turbulent lubrication equation and the energy equation were solved. The regime of operation of this bearing is laminar, turbulent and transitional. Also viscosity of working fluid was considered as function of only temperature and inlet pressure build-up was considered. Numerical results for a large tilting pad journal bearing showed pressure distribution, temperature distribution, eccentricity ratio, and friction torque. The effects of pad number on the static performances of a large tilting pad journal bearing are discussed.

Various silanes, amino silane, vinyl silane, TESPD, and ZS (TESPD/zinc soap complex), are added into chlorinated isobutylene-isoprene copolymer (CIIR)/soft clay/carbon black (CB). The vulcanization characteristics, the processability, and the mechanical properties are measured. In soft clay/CB filled CIIR system, there are no significant changes in Mooney viscosity among compounds. Vinyl silane added compound shows a low extrusion torque. All the silane added compounds shows an increased modulus. The mechanical properties are significantly increased when the S2 is added into CIIR/soft clay/CB compounds.

The effect of the surface area of silicas on their reinforcing performance to styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) compounds was systematically investigated. The feasibility of the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area ($S_{BET}$) as a parameter representing the characteristics of the silicas was discussed compared to the mesopore volume, c value, oil absorption, and uptake of silane. The increase in $S_{BET}$ of silicas caused a considerable increase in Mooney viscosity, minimum torque, and hysteresis loss of the silica-filled SBR compounds, while significantly enhancing their abrasion property. These changes were explained by the attrition between the hydrophilic silica surface and the hydrophobic rubber chains. As expected, the change in $S_{BET}$ did not induce any remarkable changes in the cure, processing, tensile, and dynamic properties of the silica-filled SBR compounds because the crosslinking density of the rubber chains mainly determined these properties.
