Energy absorption capacity is an indispensable property for earthquake resistant structures. To equip the top story with abundant energy absorption capacity and to make energy inputs done by earthquakes concentrate on the top story result in an promising design option which has not been hither to fully investigated. In this paper, the mechanism through which the energy input moves to the top story is clarified and the design criteria for this type of structures are demonstrated to be expressed in terms of D_s-values. This type of structures can be also applied to strengthen the existing structures which are judged to be insufficient in energy absorption capacity. By adding the damage concentrating story at the top of existing structure, the seismic performance of the structure can be highly improved without disturbing its living function.

 In June 2016, measure to Nankai trough long period ground motions was announced by MLIT. However, the structural calculation using the response spectrum method indicated by the Ministry of Construction notification Vol. 2009 is out of measure because it is difficult to inspect influence of long period ground motions. Also, we proposed a vertical distribution of seismic design load for seismically isolated buildings (SIBs) using the equivalent isolation ratio which has applicability to various dampers.

 In this paper, we analyze the influence of various structural parameters of SIBs on shear force coefficient distribution. In addition, we investigate whether the effect of adding the fluid damper on the shear force coefficient distribution to suppress the response displacement to the long-period ground motions can be expressed by using I_eq. Furthermore, we verify the applicability of the proposed formula for long-period ground motions amplified by the superficial grounds in the actual ground models and propose a new variation correction coefficient CV. The acquired conclusions are as follows;

 

 1) Based on the analysis results on the long-period ground motions at engineering base layer, it is found that the influence of the setting of the seismic isolation period on the relationship between I_eq. and the equivalent amplification factor of top floor β_eq is large. When the seismic isolation period is long, the moving average value of β_eq in SZ3 and CH3 obtained from the analysis result tend to exceed the Eq.(13). (Fig. 9).

 2) When adding fluid dampers to hysteresis dampers whose burden shear force coefficient α_s is 0.01, Eq.(13) cannot capture the change in β_eq. However, if the burden shear force coefficient α_s is 0.02 or more, Eq.(13) can capture the change in β_eq. (Fig. 10).

 3) The moving average of β_eq for long-period ground motions amplified by the superficial grounds in the actual ground models varies depending on the characteristics of the surface ground and the difference in the seismic motion. However, since the moving average of β_eq calculated collectively from the analytical results of the nine long-period ground motions in all the grounds of Site 1, Site2, and Site3 corresponds well to Eq.(13), it can be said to be able to grasp the response shear force coefficient for nine long-period ground motions on average. (Fig. 13).

 4) The variation coefficient CV of β_eq is determined by Eq.(17) for long-period ground motions amplified by the superficial grounds in the actual ground models. And as shown in Fig. 15, the applicability of amplification factor of vertical distribution of shear force coefficient for seismically isolated buildings to long-period ground motions is confirmed. (Fig. 15).

 In June 2016, MLIT (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism) has announced a countermeasure against the Nankai trough long period ground motions (LPGMs). MLIT also announced the region divided by input level of LPGMs in the Kanto (KA1), Chukyo (CH1–3), Shizuoka (SZ1–3), and Osaka (OS1–3) areas. However, the response spectrum method, indicated by the Ministry of Construction notification Vol. 2009, is out of the countermeasure, because this method was considered to be difficult to reflect the influence by LPGMs. Also, we proposed a vertical distribution of design shear force coefficient for seismically isolated buildings (SIBs) using the equivalent isolation ratio which has applicability to various dampers.

 In this paper, we analyze the influence of LPGMs on shear force coefficient distribution of SIBs based on knowledge that response amplification is excited by higher modes. And based on the analytical results, we propose a new equivalent amplification factor and variation correction coefficient. The acquired conclusions are as follows;

 

 1) The equivalent amplification factor of the shear force coefficient changed depending on the region divided by input level of LPGMs. In addition, it was confirmed that the number of cases where the equivalent amplification factor falls within the range of evaluation of Eq. (10) varies depending on the region divided by input level.

 2) Based on the analysis results of nonlinear modal analysis, as region divided by input level of LPGMs decreases, the 1st mode response decreases, and the influence of the higher mode increases relatively.

 3) By quantifying the relationship between the equivalent isolation ratio and the equivalent amplification factor, and the variation of the equivalent amplification factor for each region, it was possible to appropriately evaluate the tendency that the equivalent amplification factor differs depending on the region divided by input level of LPGMs.

This paper describes the dynamic printing conditions to create fine dot matrix image at the view points of dot area connecting closely with printing quality. The analysis and examinations on impact printing model have introduced following results.
(1) Impact dot printing can be explained by the kinetic model with the printing mediums introducing the relation of stress (σ) to strain (ε), σ=ke^αs, so that the maximum printing forces, coefficient of restitution and the time of contact between hammer and mediums can be simply predicted by the value of α.
(2) The value of a varies with dot area so that dot area becoming smaller under condition of the same hammer kinetic energy, the maximum printing force and the coefficient of restitution become smaller and the contact time becomes longer.

SCARA robot motions generally consist of the following two motions : One is horizontally transportation of a load by actuating two revolute joints. The other is vertically transportation of a load by actuating a prismatic joint. This paper deals with an adaptive control for the former motion with vibration suppression of the prismatic joint. The controlled object is modeled as a doble-input quadruple-output system. Firstly, we show a non-linear control method that guarantees a load to be transported to the neighborhood of its desired position. The mass of the load is estimated by the recursive least squares algorithm during the transportation. Then, the dynamics of the robot is linearized at the neighborhood of the desired position of the load. By using the linearized dynamics and the estimated mass, a pole placement controller for the robot is designed. We derive a sufficient condition for robust stability with respect to the estimation error of the mass. Under the condition, a pole placement method for robust performance is also presented. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper describes the results of an investigation on the printing mechanism design conditions for the line printer high speed performance. The results obtained are as follows: (1) The lowest permitted print density limits, estimated from the print quality viewpoint, are about 1.0 and about 0.6 in original and five-ply copy, respectively. The optimum stroke width value is 0.3-0.4 mm. (2) To obtain the lowest permitted print density limits, the peak printing force value above 10kg is required, or the hammer kinetic energy above 7 mJ is required. (3) To prevent the print quality deterioration occurring in high speed printing, it is necessary to reduce hammer contact time and, consequently, to reduce hammer mass. Based on the above results, the titanium alloys, which are advantageous in respect to density and strength, were adopted as the hammer material. A light weight 0.22 g mass and 16 μs contact time hammer was realized. As a result, a high speed line printer with 1500 lines per minute for 128 characters has been developed.

In determining design conditions for an impact printer, it is necessary to study the ink transfer mechanism in impact printing and to clarify the relationship of print quality parameters, such as printed character stroke width and print density, to design conditions for printing mechanisms. This paper describes an analytical and experimental study of the liquid ink transfer mechanism using an inked ribbon in impact printing. The results obtained are as follows: (I) The liquid ink transfer mechanism can be well explained by the viscous flow model which assumes the structure of paper to be an arrangement of cylindrical capillaries and the ink to be a Newtonian fluid. (2) The quantity of ink transferred is proportional to the square root of the peak printing pressure and contact time, proportional to the mean capillary radius of paper, and inversely proportional to the square root of ink viscosity.
