In this study, proposed how to design an airport concrete pavement expansion joint considering the weather conditions and material properties. Currently, expansion joint spacing of airport concrete pavement in korea is not designed according to a clear standard, but it is designed to an empirical level. Various types of Admixture are used in concrete pavement and depending on the material characteristics or local environmental factors, there is a substantial difference in the extent and shrinkage to which the package is inflated. Significant differences are made in the extent to which the pavement expands or shrinkage depending on the material characteristics used or the local environmental factors. But, expansion joint design performed on empirical criteria cannot reflect these materials and environmental characteristics, resulting in unpredictable damage such as blow-up. To analyzing behavior of airport concrete pavement, horizontal displacement gauges, static strain gauges and thermometers are installed in the 3rd phase construction sites at Incheon International Airport. In this study, the relationship between the temperature and horizontal displacement of the concrete pavement was analyzed using the measured depth temperatures and the horizontal displacement data at the expansion joints at the Incheon airport site. The Finite Element Analysis Model of Incheon International Airport pavement was used to compare the difference between actual behavior and analytical behavior. In addition, it is proposed to design a suitable expansion joint spacing by considering the maximum expansion of concrete pavement and shrinkage caused by material expansion (e.g., ASR) and shrinkage due to water loss. This study was supported by Incheon International Airport Corporation (BEX00625).

온도와 습도 변화에 의해 수축될 경우 콘크리트 포장 슬래브에는 인장응력이 생기고 이로 인해 무작위 균열이 발생한다. 일정한 간격으로 줄눈을 설치하고 균열을 유도함으로써 슬래브에 발생하는 인장응력을 줄이고 무작위 균열을 최소화할 수 있다.줄눈간격이 너무 넓으면 무작위 균열, 줄눈부 파손, 하중전달률 저하가 일어나고, 반대로 줄눈간격이 너무 좁으면 공사비 증가와 승차감 저하가 유발된다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트 포장의 역학적-경험적 줄눈간격 설계방법을 개발하였다. 이를 위하여 우수한 공용성을 보이는 콘크리트 포장 구간 중 구조적 및 환경적으로 가장 취약한 구간을 찾고 그 구간에 대한 유한요소해석으로 설계기준강도를 결정하였다. 기존 연구결과를 참고하여 하중전달률이 급격히 낮아질 때의 줄눈폭을 허용줄눈폭으로 결정하였다. 유한요소해석으로 계산된 설계대상구간의 최대인장응력이 설계기준강도를 초과하지 않는 최대줄눈간격을 찾아냈다. 그리고 이 줄눈간격으로 예측된 최대줄눈폭을 허용줄눈폭과 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 방법을 설계 중인 함양-울산 고속도로의 두 공구에 적용해 보았다. 기존보다 넓은 8.0m의 줄눈간격으로 시험시공된 구간과 동일한 줄눈간격이 본 연구의 설계방법으로 계산되었다. 공용 6년 후 측정된 시험시공 구간의 매우 낮은 균열률로 본 연구에서 개발된 설계방법이 검증되었다.

본 논문에서는 포스트텐션 콘크리트 포장(PTCP: Post-Tensioned Concrete Pavement)과 줄눈 콘크리트 포장(JCP: Jointed Concrete Pavement)이 접속되는 터미널 조인트의 시공시 초기 줄눈 폭 설계에 대하여 연구하였다. PTCP와 JCP 사이의 줄눈 폭은 소음과 승차감에 직접 영향을 미치는 요소이다. 초기 설계 줄눈 폭이 지나치게 크면 소음과 승차감을 저하시키고, 줄눈 폭이 지나치게 작게 되면 온도 상승시 슬래브의 팽창과 블로우업 발생으로 압축응력이 과도하게 작용하여 줄눈부 파손을 야기할 수 있기 때문이다. 본 연구는 온도변화에 따른 터미널조인트의 줄눈 폭의 연구를 위하여 PTCP와 JCP가 시공된 동해고속도로 주문진현장에서 2010년 8월과 11월에 줄눈 폭 데이터를 측정하고 분석하여 최적의 줄눈 폭 설계방안을 제시하였다.

Stress distribution and deformation on the cross tension type spot welded lap joint subjected to out of plane tensile load were investigated by finite element method. For the rational design of spot welded joint, it is needed to assess to repeatedly the fatigue life of the joint with various dimensions and welding conditions. In this paper, an automation of repeated process of fatigue life assessment for spot welded cross tension type joint was studied. The process is related to stress analysis in vicinity of weld-toe and fatigue life assessment based on analyzed stress distribution. With the change of design condition including dimensions and welding heat input, the above two works have to be performed. Using the commercial tool for system integration, ModelCenter, an automation of the repeated process for spot welded cross tension type joint based on 2D modeling was achieved. In this automation system, data exchanges between programs regardless of commercial and parametric studies for optimal design can be performed.

포스트텐션 콘크리트 포장(PTCP: Post-Tensioned Concrete Pavement)에서 강선의 긴장 간격 설계와 더불어 주요 설계 인자로서 줄눈의 초기 설계 폭을 들 수 있다. 줄눈 폭의 결정은 소음과 승차감에 직접 영향을 미치며 초기 폭이 과도하게 크면 소음과 승차감에 악영향을 미치게 되며, 초기 폭이 지나치게 작게 되면 하절기 온도상승으로 블로우업 현상이 발생할 수 있으며 또한 과도한 압축응력에 의해 줄눈부의 파손이 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 PTCP의 초기 줄눈 폭 설계를 최적화하고 온도변화에 따른 줄눈 폭의 거동을 분석하기 위하여 수행되었다. 시공 후 1년이 경과한 PTCP 슬래브를 대상으로 줄눈 폭에 대한 실험을 수행하였다. 콘크리트의 온도는 PTCP 슬래브에 온도측정 센서를 깊이별로 설치하여 측정하였고, 줄눈 폭의 측정은 버어니어캘리퍼스를 이용하여 하루 중 다양한 시간대에 측정하여 온도와 줄눈 폭과의 연관성을 분석하였다. 본 연구를 통해 시공초기 최적화된 줄눈 폭 설계방안을 제시하였다.

These methods also are economic and simple in mitigating seismic hazard, improving earthquake-resistance performance, and reducing the risk level of building occupants. Consequently these methods were confirmed its effectiveness in improving the seismic performance were confirmed its effectiveness.

One of the important issues for structural and electrical specifications in developing a robot is to determine lengths of links and motor specifications, which need to be appropriate to the purpose of robot. These issues become more critical for a gait rehabilitation robot, since a patient wears the robot. Prior to developing an entire gait rehabilitation robot, designing of a 1DOF assistive knee joint of the robot is considered in this paper. Human gait motions were used to determine an allowable range of knee joint that was rotated with a linear type actuator (ball-screw type) and links. The lengths of each link were determined by using an optimization process, minimizing the stroke of actuator and the total energy (kinetic and potential energy). Kinetic analysis was performed in order to determine maximum rotational speed and maximum torque of the motor for tracking gait trajectory properly. The prototype of 1 DOF assistive knee joint was built and examined with a impedance controller.

A humanoid robot hand with one thumb and two fingers has been developed. Each finger has the specially designed compact joints, called "MEC Joint", which convert the rotation of a motor to the swing motion of a pendulum. The robot hand with the MEC Joints is compact and relatively light but strong enough to grasp objects in the same manner as human being does in daily activities. In this paper the kinematic model and the torque characteristics of the MEC Joint are presented and compared with the results of the dynamic simulation and the dynamometer test. The dynamic behavior of the thumb and two fingers with MEC Joints are also presented by computer simulation.

Various driving mechanisms to adapt to uneven environment have been developed for many urban search and rescue (USAR) missions. A tracked mechanism has been widely used to maintain the stability of robot’s pose and to produce large traction force on uneven terrain in this research area. However, it has a drawback of low energy efficiency due to friction force when rotating. Moreover, single tracked mechanism can be in trouble when the body gets caught with high projections, so the track doesn’t contact on the ground. A transformable tracked mechanism is proposed to solve these problems. The mechanism is designed with several articulations surrounded by tracks, used to generate an attack angle when the robot comes near obstacles. The stair climbing ability of proposed robot was analyzed since stairs are one of the most difficult obstacles in USAR mission. Stair climbing process is divided into four separate static analysis phases. Design parameters are optimized according to geometric limitations from the static analysis. The proposed mechanism was produced from optimized design parameters, and demonstrated in artificially constructed uneven environment and the actual stairway.
