Purpose: This study compared the movement control ability of the ankle joint according to the type of muscle contraction, namely, eccentric or concentric contractions. Methods: Thirty-four healthy adult subjects participated in this study. As a single group, before the experiment, the subjects were trained on achieving the required position of the ankle around the target point by manually controlling the ankle dorsiflexion by 10°. Concentric contraction starts at 0° and continues until the target point of 10° is reached. During an eccentric contraction, the ankle joint starts at 20° ankle dorsiflexion and continues till the target point is reached. Movements using eccentric contraction and concentric contraction were randomly performed 3 times each. Results: The results of comparing the difference in the movement control ability of each type of muscle contraction of ankle dorsiflexion showed that the measurement-remeasurement error was significant in eccentric contraction. Conclusion: In this study, we found a difference in the ability to control movement according to whether the contraction is eccentric or concentric. Therefore, we propose that the ability to control movement is affected by the type of muscle contraction.

Secondary-side transfer phenomena of primary-side surge voltage in concentric-cylindrical transformers of a high turn-ratio still present a problem in transformer insulation design even in the case of a neutral solid-grounding type. The conventional methods of analyzing them so far are much complicated for practical applications. Therefore, this paper describes a new approach to the analysis of secondary-side transfer phenomena of surge in concentric-cylindrical transformers of high turn-ratio and solid-grounding type. This generalized approach is thought to be more simple with the use of minor network concepts than the conventional one by major network only. The result shows that the secondary-side transfer phenomena of surge voltage could not be neglected even in concentric-cylindrical transformer of high turn-ratio and solid-grounding type, and will be satisfactorily applicable to the design of neutral-solid-grounding type transformers.

In case of Lighting occurs in Domestic combined distribution line, normally the voltage for the neutral line increase dramatically. General connection for underground cable is bundled common earth type so the lightning over voltage increase at the concentric-neutral line is not big enough to give impact on cable sheath. But in case of Non bundled common earth type it is necessary to analyze the phenomena on cable sheath caused by lightening overvoltage. Especially pole and cable joint are the core factor to consider. In this paper concrete pole and cable joint were evaluated in case of Non bundled common earth type combined distribution Line. EMTP simulation model has been designed and several case study were made. Also several experimental test were made to verify the simulation result.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect on multifidus and external oblique abdominis muscle activation during hip contraction of three types (concentric, isometric, eccentric) in standing position. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Twenty healthy adult men volunteered to participate in this study. Muscle activation was recorded from gluteus maximus, both multifidus, and both external oblique abdominis by surface electromyography (EMG) while holding position in the type of gluteus maximus contraction. EMG values were normalized by maximum muscle contractions (% maximum voluntary isometric contraction). All subjects performed hip extension with three contraction methods. The type of gluteus maximus contraction using Thera-band was composed of concentric contraction (type 1), isometric contraction (type 2), and eccentric contraction (type 3). To measure muscle activation on the gluteus maximus contraction type, each position were maintained for 5 seconds with data collection taken place during middle three seconds. Muscle activation was measured in each position three times. Results: For the results of this study, there was no significant difference within three contraction patterns of the gluteus maximus (concentric, isometric, and eccentric) each both multifidus, both external oblique abdominis, and gluteus maximus. And there was no significant difference among both multifidus, both external oblique abdominis, and gluteus maximus each hip extension contraction type. Conclusions: These findings suggest that specific contraction types of the gluteus maximus does not lead to a more effective activation of the multifidus, external oblique abdominis, and gluteus maximus.

The role of eccentric muscle activities in functional everyday activities and sport is important and equally significant to concentric conditions. Eccentric and concentric exercise and evaluation are, therefore, very important. The purposes of this study were to measure eccentric md concentric peak torgue, percentage of peak torque, average power and percentage of average power of trunk flexors and extensors by using the Cybex NORM isokinetic dynamometer, and to standardize the value obtained. Thirty four young volunteers were tested, 17 females and 17 males, who had no history of back pain or abnormality. Each subjects were tested on three repetitions for isokinetic concentric and eccentric contraction at 5 velocities. The results were as follows; 1) Peak torque percent body weight of eccentric contraction were significantly greater than concentric contraction at each angular velocity and in trunk flexors and extensors(p<0.01). 2) Peak torque percent body weight of concentric contraction were significantly decreased as the angular velocity increased both male and female(p<0.01). 3) Peak torque percent body weight of eccentric contraction were not significantly changed as the angular velocity increased both male and female(p<0.05), 4) Peak torque percent body weight of male were significantly greater than female at each angular velocity and in concentric and eccentric contraction of trunk flexors and extensors(p<0.01)

This paper presents a method to reduce the back-emf THD(Total Harmonic Distortion) for the Concentric winding type Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor(CIPMSM). In the CIPMSM, many design variables and their complicated combinations must be considered to reduce the back-emf THD, but it requires a lot of time and efforts. Therefore, this paper suggests the optimized solution with two simple design parameters using MINITAB software.

This paper has been carried out to find the thermal efficiency and operating characteristics of heatpipe type solar collector using a glass concentric evacuated tube(CETC) during summer. In an experiment the flow rate of water in collector are 1.5l/min. Collector efficiency is $50{\sim}60%$ during time. The solar radiation appeared in a clear day is efficiency high. Efficiency curve fitted first order polynomial show that $F_{R}$$({\tau}{\alpha})$ and $F_{R}U_{L}$=1.316 is 0.601 and 1.316 respectively.

In the muffler industry, the main purpose of the research works is to determine a way to increase the TL (Transmission Loss) properties of the muffler, without deteriorating the back pressure influence. In order to obtain better results, several works have been done by changing the geometrical characteristics of the muffler or the type of the muffler. This work will focus on the perforated muffler components with concentric chamber, to investigate the effect of a non-uniform porosity along the inner perforated tube of the muffler on the TL. It is noted that varying the perforation ratio affects the peaks frequencies of the TL, especially fer $2\pi < kL < 4\pi$ (in the case of L : 200mm for the concentric resonator). The magnitudes of the TL, for this range of frequencies, vary noticeably by changing the porosity distribution.

This paper describes the sensitivity stability of a mandrel type fiber optic acoustic sensor with respect to its environmental conditions such as hydrostatic pressure and underwater temperature. The sensors under consideration have various mandrel structures such as a cylindrical mandrel, a concentric composite mandrel, and an air-backed concentric composite mandrel. The analysis results show that the sensors have such good robustness, less than 0.15dB, in its sensitivity with respect to the variation in hydrostatic pressure. Further, the nylon concentric composite mandrel type sensor including an air cavity turns out to have the most superior stability than others to the underwater temperature variations.
