The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of loading variables on fatigue crack opening behavior, using structural steel SS41. To use various stress ratios, three kinds of the methods varying stress ratio were used; .DELTA.P const., P$_{max}$ const., and P$_{min}$ const.. To measure the opening load, the direct measuring method which measures the distance between two micro indentations 20 .mu.m behind crack tip and the elastic compliance method were used. As the results of present study, the following conclusions are obtained. First, using the direct measuring method, it was possible to measure the COD at any location behind crack tip. Second, as measuring point becomes farther from crack tip, opening load becomes smaller. Third, the acceleration of da/dN near notch is due to crack opening behavior. Finally, opening ratio is a function of not only R, but .DELTA.K.K.K.

To construct in situ velocity-porosity relationships for oceanic basalt, considering crack features, P- and S-wave velocity measurements on basaltic samples obtained from the eastern flank of the Juan de Fuca Ridge were carried out under confining pressures up to 40 MPa. Assuming that the changes in velocities with confining pressures are originated by micro-crack closure, we estimated micro-crack aspect ratio spectra using the Kuster-$Toks{\ddot{o}}z$ theory. The result demonstrates that the normalised aspect ratio spectra of the different samples have similar characteristics. From the normalised aspect ratio spectrum, we then constructed theoretical velocity-porosity relationships by calculating an aspect ratio spectrum for each porosity. In addition, by considering micro-crack closure due to confining pressure, a velocity-porosity relationship as a function of confining pressure could be obtained. The theoretical relationships that take into account the aspect ratio spectra are consistent with the observed relationships for over 100 discrete samples measured at atmospheric pressure, and the commonly observed pressure dependent relationships for a wide porosity range. The agreement between the laboratory-derived data and theoretically estimated values demonstrates that the velocity-porosity relationships of the basaltic samples obtained from the eastern flank of the Juan de Fuca Ridge, and their pressure dependence, can be described by the crack features (i.e. normalised aspect ratio spectra) and crack closure.

This study was intended to evaluate a post-operative relapse tendency in mandibular prognathism patients with open-bite. 18 patients with or without open-bite have undergone sagittal split ramus osteotomy and were investigated radiologically with cephalogram. The results were as following 1. The preoperative anterior facial height, mandibular plane angle and mandibular gonial angle were larger in open-bite patients than in nonopen-bite patients.(p>0.05) 2. There was significant correlation between surgical change of SNA, mandibular plane length and long-term relapse.(p<0.01). 3. There was relatively stable postoperative anterior facial height in open bite patients. 4. There was no significant correlation between the surgical change of mandibular plane angle, amount of mandibular setback and long-term relapse.(p>0.01) 5. This study showed that horizontal relapse was more significant than vertical relapse.

강한 지진 하에서 효율적으로 거동하도록 유도하는 연구중의 하나로서 개구부를 가진 합성보의 이력거동을 조사하고 있다. 직사각형 개구부를 가진 합성보에 대한 연구를 발전시켜 에너지 소산능력이 보다 큰 달걀형 개구부를 가진 합성보에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 실험적 연구와 비선형 FEM 해석 연구 모두가 그러한 합성보의 연성도를 입증하였다. 본 연구는 달걀형 개구부를 가진 합성보의 강도와 초기강성도를 산정하는 약산식을 제시하였고, 그 결과를 실험 및 비선형 FEM 해석의 결과와 비교 분석하였다.

풍력타워 기둥구조물에는 유지관리 등의 이유로 출입구 역할을 하는 개구부가 존재하게 된다. 다각형 타워구조물에 개구부형상이 존재하게 되면 압축좌굴 강도에 영향이 있을 것으로 예상되지만, 이를 정량적으로 평가하거나 예측하기는 용이하지 않고 간접적으로 판단할 만한 관련 기준이나 지침도 부족한 상태이다. 이에 최병호 등(2011)에서 다룬 다각형 단면 기둥구조물의 하단에 개구부를 형상화한 수치해석 모델을 수립하고 축방향 압축하중을 재하하는 탄성좌굴 해석 및 비선형비탄성해석을 수행하였다. 본 논문에서는 기존 다각형 단면 기둥모델 중에서 6각형 단면모델에 관해 중점적으로 다루고 있다. 다각형 단면 기둥 해석모델은 단순한 다각형 단면 타워구조에 대해서 뿐 만 아니라, 각 subpanel에 종방향 보강재를 둔 모델에 대해서도 추가적으로 검토하였다. 개구부의 형상은 높이 2000mm, 폭 800mm이며 상하부에 만곡부를 둔 형태이다. 수치해석은 3차원 유한요소해석프로그램인 ABAQUS를 이용하여 수행하였으며, 보강방안으로는 일정범위까지의 모듈 subpanel의 판두께를 보강하는 방안과 edge stiffener를 적용하는 방안에 대해서 검토하였다. 각각의 보강방식에 따른 효과를 비교해 보기 위해 개구부가 없는 모델, 단순히 개구부만 설정한 모델, 판두께를 보강한 모델, edge stiffener로 보강한 모델에 대해 비교해석을 수행하였다. 보강재 없는 단순 다각형 타워구조 모델에 대한 해석결과로부터 개구부로 인한 강도저하는 미미한 수준인 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 종방향 보강재가 적용된 6각형 단면 타워구조 모델에서는 개구부로 인한 강도저감이 22.9%로 높게 나타났으며 상당한 영향이 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 개구부 주변의 판두께 보강이나 edge stiffener보강 등으로 상당한 강도향상 효과가 확인되었으나, 개구부로 인해 손실된 강도 수준을 완전히 회복하는 수준에 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 향후 다양한 보강방식에 대한 보다 포괄적인 변수연구를 통해 개구부의 영향 없이 온전한 다각형 단면 타워 구조의 극한강도에 도달되기 위한 보강 조건에 대해 검토될 필요가 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In this study, nonlinear finite element analysis based on the Modified Compression Field Theory has been conducted to evaluate shear strength of RC walls with opening. On the analysis, reinforcement ratio within development length of rebars nearby the opening was reduced in the model in order to investigate the effect of opening on shear strength of RC shear walls. The nonlinear finite element analysis has been verified through comparison with the test result in literature. Through the verification, it was investigated that the analysis considering the development length of rebars well reflected the effect of an opening on shear strength of RC shear walls while current design provisions did not reasonably consider one.

The purpose of this experimental study is to investigate the relationship of the shear behavior and the variety of width, depth and location of an opening in reinforced concrete deep beams with rectangular web openings, and to present an improved shear strength equation of those members. The main parameters considered were concrete strength(fck), shear span-to-overall depth ratio(a/h), and the size and vortical position of the web openings. Twenty five deep beams were tested under two symmetric loading-points. Test results showed that the shear behavior of deep beams with web openings was influenced by a/h and the size of opening. In addition, the KCI shear design provision is a tendency to be more unconservative according to the increase in a/h and the area-ratio of opening to shear span(Ao/Ash). Based on the concrete strut action of top and bottom member of an opening and the tie action of longitudinal reinforcement, a proper design equation which closely predicts the capacity of deep beams with rectangular openings is developed.

Objective: All patients who have the disc displacement with reduction (DDwR) are always not progressive but some of them with significant catching or locking progress to disc displacement without reduction (DDw/oR). In this study, we suggest opening exercise therapy using Locking-free Appliance (LA) to be helpful to prevent progressive derangement. Methods: Retrospectively, a total 37 patients who received exercise treatment using LA was analyzed from January 2010 to December 2011. Patients had been instructed in proper exercise technique to practise for opening and closing of mouth wearing the appliance 30 times a day in locking-free position. Results: None of the patients took a turn for worse to DDw/oR (37 patients). The 16 patients (43.2%, locking-free group) of them could open their mouth without intermittent condylar locking. Measurement of data was analyzed using and Mann-Whitney test. There was no statistically significant difference for age, gender, presence of palpational pain, locking period, VAS quantitative pain score between locking-free group and locking group. Conclusions: In this study, some patients could open their mouth without intermittent locking and did not take a turn for worse to DDw/oR after opening exercise therapy with LA. Furthermore, LA had advantages which were short wearing time, low costs and minimizing patients' uncomfortable compared to conventional treatment method. This therapy can be more appropriate new treatment to prevent progress to DDw/oR.

Comparative study on the total transmission(zero reflection) has been done between two FSS structures which are coqmposed of the resonant aperture and the nonresonant aperture. It has been found that, the FSS of the resonant aperture has much larger ratio ${\lambda}$/T of wavelength ${\lambda}$ to array periodicity T than that of the FSS of the nonresonant aperture for the total transmission(or zero reflection). Also the operating frequency can be made to be significantly reduced by using such a resonant structure. This physical situation is thought to be similar to that of EOT(Extraordinary Optical Transmission) phenomenon, in optics area.
