In previous researches[2,3] , the self-stability was studied for the spring-mass model and the two segment leg model. In these researches, it was presented that the spring-mass model has the self-stable region at relatively high speed running and the two segment leg model has the self-stable region at relatively low speed running. If the model was run in the self-stable region, the cost of transport[1] is zero ideally. That is, actually, only the energy loss is needed to compensate for running. This means that the energy efficiency is high, running in the self-stable region. We want to have high energy efficiency at low and high speed running. So, in this paper, we propose the design direction of the three segment leg having the self-stable region at low and high speed running. And

Mobile Harbor (MH) is a new transportation platform that can load and unload containers onto and from very large container ships at sea. It could navigate near harbors where several vessels run, or it could navigate through very narrow channels. In the conceptual design phase when the candidate design changes frequently according to the various performance requirements, it is very expensive and time-consuming to carry out model tests using a large model in a large towing tank and a free-running model test in a large maneuvering basin. In this paper, a new Planar Motion Mechanism(PMM) test in a Circulating Water Channel (CWC) was conducted in order to determine the hydrodynamic coefficients of the MH. To do this, PMM devices including three-component load cells and inertia tare device were designed and manufactured, and various tests of the MH such as static drift test, pure sway test, pure yaw test, and drift-and-yaw combined test were carried out. Using those coefficients, course-keeping stability was analyzed. In addition, the PMM tests results carried out for the same KCS (KRISO container ship) were compared with our results in order to confirm the test validity.

The objective of this paper is to make clear the difference of maneuvering characteristics of a VLCC in standstill from those of her in running. The authors made mathematic models to calculate maneuvering motions of a VLCC in standstill using various ahead engine with full rudder angle and calculated their motions in each case and compared the calculated values with those of the same vessel running in sea trial tests. The difference of motions between them is great. For example, a VLCC in standstill can achieve a great alteration of heading over 90 degrees within the distance of 0.2L advance while she advances 3.0L for 90 degrees turning in full running sea trial turning test. Therefore whenever a VLCC in standstill meets a vessel approaching in collision course situation in near distance, it is better and recommendable that she should use her ahead engine with full rudder to avoid collision. So "maneuvering trial tests in standstill conditions" should be added to the content of sea trial tests when a newly built VLCC commence to take sea trials, that has not been included until now.

In this paper, a 3m-class free running model ship will be introduced with its manoeuvring performance experiments. The results of turning circle test and zig-zag test will be explained. The developed system are equipped with GPS, main control computer, wireless LAN, IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), self-propulsion propeller and driving rudder. Its motion can be controlled by RC (Radio Control) and wireless LAN from land based center. Automatic navigation is also available by pre-programmed algorithm. The trajectory of navigation can be acquired by GPS and it provides us with important data for ship's motion control experiments. The results of manoeuvring performance experiment have shown that the developed free running model ship can be used to verify the test of turning circle and zig-zag. For next step, other experimental researches such as ship collision avoidance system and automatic berthing can be considered in the future.

지각에 대한 생태학적 접근을 이용한 증거(Gibson, 1979; Warren; 1984, Pijpers, Oudejans, & Bakker, 2007)는 지각자가 할 수 있는 동작과 환경에서 제공하는 속성과의 관계를 파악할 수 있다고 제시해왔다. 본 연구는 이러한 선행연구를 검증하려는 목적으로 신체변화가 동작유도성 지각, 실제 동작, 그리고 동작유도성 지각과 실제동작 사이의 오차에 미치는 영향을 규명하였다. 모든 피험자들은(n=45;) 0, 40, 70%의 운동 집단에 할당 되었고, 각 집단에 할당된 운동강도를 수행한 후 발만을 이용하여 다양한 계단 높이를 올라갈 수 있는지 판단하라고 요청하였다. 피험자들이 수행한 자료를 상관분석, 일원분산분석, 회귀분석을 이용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 운동을 하지 않은 집단에 비해 운동을 수행한 집단이 동작유도성 오차가 낮게 나타났고, 운동강도를 나타내는 운동심박수가 유의한 예측변수인 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 스포츠상황에서 어떤 의미가 있는지에 관해 논의되었다.

선박이 수로 측벽부근을 항해할 경우, 수로 측벽은 선박에 작용하는 유체력과 모멘트를 유발시킨다. 이와 마찬가지로 근접 항해중인 두 선박간에도 상호간섭력이 작용한다. 수로 측벽부근을 항해하는 경우와 근접 항해중인 두 선박의 경우의 주요 차이는 선박의 경우에 비하여 수로 측벽은 길고 일정한 형태를 갖추고 있다. 두 선박간의 상호간섭력은 종방향 거리 χ0, 횡방향 거리 y0 및 두선박의 속도의 함수로서 가정될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 근접 항해중인 두 선박간의 간섭력을 계산하고, 두 선박간의 횡방향 및 종방항 거리와 속도에 따른 안전 항과 거리에 대해서 검토, 고찰하였다.

Many new radar techniques have appeared on the electronic scene in recent years, such as a variety of automatic computer processing. However, even with the advent of these sophisticated radar techniques, an old problem continues to plague all radars: the problem of transmission line losses. With the higher performance required today, the Waveguide testing and trouble-shooting techniques remain essentially unchanged in principle. This paper dealt with the rf pulse "Time-domain Reflectometry" to inspect radar wave-guide system and compared with the conventional methods. During the investigation, it was verified that the pulsed TDR for wave-guide is superior to the conventional methods; 1. Disassembling is not needed to locate the discontinity points and measure the reflections of trobled points. 2. The results of the data are more precise. 3. The condition of individual component is able to the photographed and recorded permanently. 4. Since rf pulse TDR is based on the well-known basic radar principle, such a test set requires the minimum of training to operate. With the level of transmission line problems, the prospect of increasing complexity of equipment, and no relief in sight, the benifits must be emphasizied to adopt such a testing procedure.procedure.
