In this study, a high speed Rigid Inflatable Boat(RIB) with about 10 meters length is developed. Design speed of the boat is 30 knots (15.43 m/s) using 250 hp twin engines and main material is aluminum. Resistance performance related to the free running attitude as trim and sinkage are discussed and wave patterns are observed to make clear the relationship between the performance and wave characteristics using model test and CFD analysis. The results show that not only wave patterns but also free running attitude of the boat have a strong influence on resistance performance. CFD results including free surface give good relative tendency for effective power and the attitude comparing model test results. CFD analysis used in this study can be used at initial ship design stage of high speed boat.

The rapid development of digital technology makes it possible for fashion to combine new materials and technologies that maximize visual effects. In particular, the development of various fashionable technologies, which advocate a strong experimental nature of forward-looking images, have appeared in various ways by varying costumes with multi-functional concepts which have never seen so far, or interactive fashions. This study identifies formative features and the implicative meaning of inflatable fashion by escaping from traditional methods and function of costumes to analyze various types of inflatable wear that have function and form vary depending on the situation. Since the 1960s, new PVC and polyurethane materials and the development of high-frequency sewing technique enabled the mass production of inflatable products in rides and household goods that produced inflatable costumes to trigger a new visual interest in fashion. Inflatable wear, launched from a space look, has combined with digital technologies since 2000. Inflatable wear, one of various concepts of shifting wear, can transform function and form using a sensor in given circumstances that enable a focus on transformation. Therefore, it has been changed using multi-functionalities that can cope with a varying environment. The first type of inflatable wear, which represents an expansive simple costume image, is expressed as a swollen and expanded type such as part of skirt or jacket or dress. The representative work is ‘Kinship Journeys’ (2003-4 A/W Collection) published by Hussein Chalayan, which expresses the extension of simple forms and the extension of concepts. The second type of inflatable wear is a form conversion by remote control where the form was expanded by air insertion. However, this type has been produced by performance costumes that focus on immediate variability through digital technology. Diana Eng’s ‘Inflatable Dress’ is a work that shows a visual form conversion that highlights soft silk chiffon materials to plastic-looking materials with improvements in a flat silhouette to an extended three-dimensional structure. The third type of inflatable wear is the usage conversion type of multifunction concept. It is expressed by a function shifting design that uses a multipurpose concept through a conversion of usage and form. A sleeping bag, the representative work developed by C.P Company, can be used for multiple purposes such as a parka that wraps the full body or also acts as an up-and-down separable jumper; a sleeping bag form at bedtime and a bag form when moving. An analysis of inflatable wear types showed the following results. First, inflatable wear is an enlarged concept of costume different from traditional conventional costume stereotypes that creates an expanded communication and exchange space to express the garment of wrapping human bodies in liberal and various ways. Second, fashion combined with technology acts as a multifunction that actively introduces mobility and variability in costumes and expands the meaning and concept of fashion. Third, inflatable wear fashion is expressed as a performance arena moving forward from an experimental fashion show form that shows a distinctive difference before and after air insertion. Fashion design is identified as a method to stimulate human emotion and exchange mutual feelings and as a multi-purpose device that allows the protection and concealment; consequently, it is the best method to create visual stories that express the socio-cultural trends and conditions.

본 연구에서는 해상에서의 저체온증 사망위험을 감소시키기 위해, 배의 길이 20미터 미만의 우리나라 소형어선에 비치하기 적합한 구명뗏목의 성능기준을 제안했다. 우리나라에는 소형어선용 구명뗏목이 사용되고 있지 않으며 관련 성능기준도 없다. 국내외 및 국제표준의 성능기준을 비교하고, 외국산 구명뗏목 및 본 연구로 개발된 가방형 시제품(2·4인승)의 성능 평가결과를 분석했다. 그 결과, 근해어선의 구명뗏목에는 ISO 9650-1 기준을 적용하고, 연안어선의 구명뗏목에는 ISO 9650-2보다 기준을 낮추어 적용하는 것이 적절할 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the changes that occur in the leg muscle activity of unstable surface with different levels of air pressures. Three groups of college students have been placed randomly on unstable surfaces with different air pressures at group 1.0 psi (=36), group 1.4 psi (=40), and group 1.8 psi (=40). Using surface electromyography, the recruitment of the tibialis anterior, peroneus longus, and the gastrocnemius was measured. Maximal voluntary isometric contraction was measured at the different air pressures based on the manual muscle test, then normalizing the value to %maximal voluntary isometric contraction (%MVIC). The tibialis anterior muscle activity was significant change from the unstable surface with difference levels of air pressures between group 1.0 psi and 1.8 psi and between group 1.4 psi and 1.8 psi. peroneus longus muscle activity was significant changes in muscle activity occurred between 1.0 psi and 1.4 psi group and between 1.0 psi and 1.8 psi group. Gastrocnemius muscle activity was significant change in muscle activity occurred between 1.0 psi and 1.4 psi group and between 1.0 psi and 1.8 psi group. In conclusion it identify that 1.0 psi group is most effective on muscle activity than the other groups. These suggest that the rehabilitation or strengthening of patients with ankle injuries, balance exercise with low air pressure like 1.0 psi can be more effective.

In this paper, a soft robotic arm which can prevent impact injury during human-robot interaction is introduced. Two degrees of freedom joint are required to realize free movement of the robotic arm. A robotic joint concept with a single degree of freedom is presented using simple inflatable elements, and then extended to form a robotic joint with two degrees of freedom joint using similar manufacturing methods. The robotic joint with a single degree of freedom has a joint angle of 0° bending angle when both chamber are inflated at equal pressures and maximum bending angles of 28.4° and 27.1° when a single chamber if inflated. The robotic joint with two degrees of freedom also has a bending angle of 0° in both direction when all three chambers are inflated at equal pressures. When either one or two chambers were pressurized, the robotic joint performed bending towards the uninflated chambers.

해상 사고에 의한 익수자는 저체온증에 의한 사망 위험에 노출되어 있다. 구명 동의 등을 착용함으로써 부력은 유지할 수 있으 나 해수의 낮은 온도에 의한 신체의 열손실은 짧은 시간 내에 체온을 하강시키고 그에 따른 저체온증 사망이 우려된다. 전통적인 구명 동 의는 고체형 부력체를 사용하여 부력을 향상 시키고 있으나, 구명 동의에 공기를 채움으로써 부력 및 체온 보존 효과를 얻을 수 있을 것으 로 판단된다. 본 연구는 고체형 충진재를 이용한 기존의 비 팽창형 구명 동의와 공기를 채운 팽창형 구명 동의의 단열 성능을 비교하고, 각 각의 방법이 체온 변화에 미치는 영향을 정성적으로 평가하고자 한다. 먼저 열저항 모델을 이용한 대략적인 단열 성능의 비교를 실시하고, 유한요소법을 이용하여 Pennes의 신체 열전달 해석을 수행하여 시간에 따른 체온 변화를 수치적으로 검토하였다.
