In order to establish the rational strategy, it is necessary to develop methodologies to concentrate inspection points on the maximum damaged parts of pipelines. In the case that piping management is carried out, there is a technology which measures the thickness of piping. This paper proposes a method to predict the maximum damaged part due to erosion-corrosion by use of design and operation information. Then, in this paper, flow analysis is performed using the 3-dimensional heat fluid analysis software FLUENT. The simulation with FLUENT has been calculated for the piping of the elbow shape to search for the place in the corrosion part where the progress of erosion-corrosion is the fastest in consideration of the influence of shear stress and pressure. As a result, it is clarified that the maximum damaged part can be predicted from design and operation information","PeriodicalId":309260,"journal":{"name":"2006 SICE-ICASE International Joint Conference","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131660896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Robots enhance surgery by improving precision, repeatability, stability, and dexterity. These qualities coupled with the human surgeon's judgment capabilities make a formidable combination. There are, however, many limitations to the application of robotics to surgery. In practice, these robotic systems can be difficult to use because of the limited dexterity and sensory feedback, as well as the major issue of safety. We may be able to solve the difficulties with dexterity, sensory feedback and safety through the use of small multi-DOF actuators, medical imaging technology, and compliant robotic manipulators. This paper presents our efforts to improve the issues of dexterity, sensory feedback and safety. For dexterity, we have developed a surgical tool using a compact multi-DOF ultrasonic actuator. For sensory feedback, we have developed virtual fixture using 3D medical imaging technology, which can also enhance safety.

Autonomous target tracking by vision system has many potential applications; e.g. surveillance, security, etc. In particular, mobile robot-based trackers are attractive because they can track targets in wide range. However, mobile robots with wheeled systems cannot instantaneously move in the axial direction because of nonholonomic constraints. Therefore, a visual sensor mounted on a mobile robot may lose sight of an observed target when their relative motion is large. On the other hand, mobile hand-eye systems with extra d.o.f. has great possibilities to track target objects due to redundancy. But there have been rarely previous researches in which effective utilization of the redundancy was considered. Hence \"Trackability measure! which is the index to evaluate tracking ability of a mobile hand-eye system is proposed in the paper. Not only operability b.o.f. hand-eye, but also mobility of a mobile robot and the a position of a target object are introduced as points of the index.
