This study deals with the design of the Stewart platform for an efficient 6 Degrees of Freedom (DOF) motion of a ship. The general methods of study of the Stewart platform – forward and inverse kinematics – are complex in nature, and are only applicable in limited and specific cases. In order to study the reduction of design time of the Stewart platform, the (please write the full form) DMU module supported by 3D CAD is used. The results show that the DMU module can easily identify the Stewart platform's clash and movements. In addition, it was also possible to calculate motor control data necessary for the prototype manufacturing process. Comparing the Upper plate angle displacement error of the prototype and the DMU results, the error range was found to be 1.5%.

PURPOSES: Using the collected data for crash, traffic volume, and design elements on ramps between 2007 and 2009, this research effort was initiated to develop traffic crash prediction models for expressway ramps. METHODS: Three negative binomial regression models and three zero-inflated negative binomial regression models were developed for individual ramp types, including direct, semi-direct and loop, respectively. For validating the developed models, authors compared the estimated crash frequencies with actual crash frequencies of twelve randomly selected interchanges, the ramps of which have not been used for model developing. RESULTS: The results show that the negative binomial regression models for direct, semi-direct and loop ramps showed 60.3%, 63.8% and 48.7% error rates on average whereas the zero-inflated negative binomial regression models showed 82.1%, 120.4% and 57.3%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Conclusively, the negative binomial regression models worked better in traffic crash prediction than the zero-inflated negative binomial regression models for estimating the frequency of traffic accidents on expressway ramps.

최근 천연화석 연료의 부족과 원유 원가의 상승에 의해 많은 국가와 연구실에서 자연에너지 이용에 대해 연구하고 있다. 이런 추세에 풍력 및 태양광 에너지를 동시에 이용하는 복합시스템을 사용한 가로등 개발에 초점을 맞추었다. 이 연구에서 태양광 발전을 위한 태양전지는 시중에서 쉽게 구입할 수 있기 때문에 3익 타입의 HAWT를 위한 로터 블레이드 개발로 한정하였다. 이 로터 블레이드의 개발을 위해 BEM을 이용하였고, 이에 대한 성능평가를 위해 CFD기법을 이용하였다.
