Optical coherence elastography (OCE) is based on optical coherence tomography (OCT), which is a noninvasive, high-resolution, cross-sectional imaging technique. In this paper, we have developed dynamic optical coherence elastography to measure elasticity, a mechanical property of tissue, by phase difference. A piezoelectric actuator was used for sinusoidal mechanical loading of samples. Before applying this method to biomaterial, we assessed the feasibility of OCE with samples of sponge, eraser, and sharp lead. Cross-sectional and phase-difference images of the sample were obtained under sinusoidal loading. The strain rate was calculated from the phase-difference information. To obtain the envelope of the phase-difference oscillations along the horizontal direction, Hilbert transformation was performed at each depth. The elevation of the envelope was represented by color mapping, and we could measure the relative elasticity within the sample by comparing the elevations. Finally, there was an advantage when we calculated the shear rate using self-interference in the sample arm, instead of the interference between sample and reference arms.

This paper presents stress distribution around a central crack tip in a tensile plate using phase-shifting photoelasticity and a power series stress function. Isochromatic data along the straight lines far from the crack tip were obtained by phase shifting photoelasticity and were used as input data of the hybrid experimental analysis. By using the complex-type power series stress equations, the photoelastic stress distribution fields in the vicinity of the crack and the mode I stress intensity factor were obtained. With the help of image processing software, accuracy and reliability was enhanced by twice multiplying and sharpening the measured isochromatics. Actual and reconstructed fringes were compared qualitatively. For quantitative comparison, percentage errors and standard deviations of the percentage errors were calculated for all measured input data by varying the number of terms in the stress function. The experimental results agreed with those predicted by finite element analysis and empirical equation within 2 percent error.

상사실험법(analogous experimental method)이라 함은 물리적현상을 다른 물리적현상으로 변환 하여, 후자를 실험적으로 측정하여 전자의 제반 물리량을 얻는 과정을 말한다. 이 때 두 물리량 사이에는 수학적 상사관계, 특히 미분방정식 상의 유사관계가 성립함을 전제로 한다. 일반적으로 임의형상의 내부응력을 실험적으로 해석하는 데는 탄소성 변위를 직접 전기적저항으로 바꾸어 측정하는 방법(strain gauge method)이나 광파의 간섭무늬(fringe)로 가시화하는 광탄성 법(photoelastic method), 또는 전자계산기를 이용하여 분할요소해석의 연계집적으로서 얻는 유 한요소법(F.E.M) 등이 널리 사용되고 있으나, 이들은 다같이 그 나름대로의 장단점을 지니고 있다. 전기저항식은 변형을 직접 측정할 수 있어 측정의 오차를 줄일 수 있고, 특히 실물측정과 동하중 해석에는 큰 강점이 있으나, 점해석(point by analysis)이기 때문에 전시야적인 분포를 파악하기 어렵다. 또한 광탄성법은 명료한 전시야적 분포를 얻을 수 있지만 모형해석(model analysis)이기 때문에 정밀한 모형제작의 어려움이 수반되며, F.E.M.(B.E.M.도 포함)은 복잡한 형상에서의 요소분할이 매우 어렵고, 경계조건의 정확한 설정에 문제가 있다. 따라서 여러 실험적 방법은 실측대상에 따라 그 장단점을 감안하여 선택되어야 하며, 이 글에서 논술하고자 하는 상사실험법에 의한 응력해석도 이러한 관점에서 지금까지의 일련의 연구결과를 종합하여 그 효 용적인 용도, 응용 및 그 전망과 더불어 장차 해결하여야 할 2,3의 문제를 제시하고자 한다.

Risidual stress of cylindrical glass rods are measured by photoelasticity to study the variation of stresses with respect to heat treatment temperatures. In order to measure the stresses accurately, fringe sharpening and multiplication techniques are applied to the determination of photoelastic fringe orders. Filon's separationmethod is used to resolve circumferential and redial stress ocmponents from isochromatic fringes which are the same as in-plane maximum shearing stresses. According to the photoelastic measurements, residual stress is increased as the heat treatment temperature of the rods is raised from $560^{\circ}C$ to $650^{\circ}C$ All the circumferential stress components are changed from tensile stresses to compressive ones at approximate $R_m$/$R_o$ = 0.6, where $R_o$/ is outer radius and $R_m$any measured radius. This analysis shows that residual stresses of the glass rods approach zero if the rods are heat-treated near the strain point.

In photoelasticity, the directions of principal stresses are given by isoclinic fringe patterns. In this study, photoelastic theory is represented by Jones calculus and the photoelastic 8-step phase shifting method is described. A feasibility study using computer simulation is done to get isoclinics from photoelastic fringes of a circular disk under diametral compression. Fringe patterns of the disk are generated from the stress-optic law. The magnitudes of isoclinics obtained from the fringe patterns of computer simulation and experiment are compared with those of theory. The results are close between them. Then, the 8-step phase shifting method is applied to get distributions of isoclinics along the specified lines of a cuved beam plate under tensile load. Experimental results obtained from the phase shifting method were compared with those of finite element analysis (ANSYS). It is confirmed that measurement of isoclinic distributions is possible by use of photoelasitc phase shifting method.

Quasi-elastic light scattering is utilized to measure the mean diameter of the 0.3 $\mu\textrm{m}$-dimeter polystyrene sphere. The mean diameter of the polystyrene sphere is required to be known within the uncertainty of a few per centages. The systematic error has been considerably reduced by improving the system for the angle alignment and temperature measurement of cell. NIST SRM 1691 (0.269$\pm$0.007 $\mu\textrm{m}$: TEM; 0.275$\pm$0.007 $\mu\textrm{m}$: QELS) is measured to be 0.273 $\mu\textrm{m}$$\pm$0.006 $\mu\textrm{m}$ in mean diameter. Detailed description is given of the improved method and the resultant uncertainty, and the comparison of results with NIST is followed.

Statement of problem: There are common clinical cases in which the mandibular first and second molars are missing unilaterally. Purpose: This study was designed to compare and evaluate the magnitude and distribution of stress produced by four kinds of mandibular unilateral free-end removable partial dentures that could be applied clinically in Kennedy class II cases. Material and methods: Four unilateral free-end removable partial dentures using clasp, Konus crown, resilient attachment, and flexible resin were fabricated on the photoelastic models of the Kennedy class II cases. The vertical load of 6㎏ was applied on the central fossa of the first molar of every removable partial denture in the stress freezing furnace and the photoelastic models were frozen according to the stress freezing cycle. After these models were sliced mesio-distally to a thickness of 6mm, the photoelastic isochromatic white and black lines of the sliced specimens were examined with the transparent photoelastic experiment device and photographs were taken with a digital camera. The fringe order numbers at eight measuring points in the photograph were measured with the naked eye. Results: The maximum fringe order number of each sliced specimen and the fringe order number at the residual ridge just below the loading point were in the decreasing order of the unilateral removable partial dentures using flexible resin followed by clasp, resilient attachment, and Konus crown. The fringe order number at the root apex of the second premolar was in the decreasing order of the unilateral removable partial dentures using clasp followed by flexible resin, Konus crown, and resilient attachment. Conclusion: The removable partial denture using Konus crown showed the most equalized stress distribution to the supporting alveolar bone of abutment teeth and residual ridge under the vertical loads. The removable partial denture using flexible resin can be applied to the case that has a better state of residual ridge than abutment teeth.

When laser interference method is used to measure stress intensity factor with experiment, crack molded from teflon crack molding method is better than the crack manufactured through fatigue test. It is known that center distance between two indentations which is best for detecting the laser interference fringe order is about 80.mu.m with photodetector used in this research. Errors with measurement of stress intensity factor through laser interference are between 2% and 11%, therefore, experimental process and method developed in this research can be used with obtaining the more precision experimental data for stress intensity factors.

초경합금은 기계적 성질이 다른 WC의 분상상과 Co의 결합상으로 구성되어 있다. 만일 이합금이 거시적으로 균일하게 변형을 하면, 각 상들은 이들의 응력상태에 따라 다르게 변형될 것이다. 따라서 WC-Co 합금의 변형특성과 강화기구를 명확히 알기 위해서는 각상의 미시적 변형과 파괴기구를 검토할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 시편에 굽힘하중을 가하여, X선 회절로 분산상인 WC상 및 결합상인 Co상의 X선적 탄성정수와 응력정수를 측정하였다. WC-Co합금중의 WC상과 Co상의 상응력은 WC(112)면과 CO(311)면의 회절로서 결정하였다. 그리고 이 상응력들을 복합법칙의 적용가능성에 대하여 검토하였다.

This paper describes the construction of a circular polariscope. Generally, a circular polariscope contains four optical elements and a light source. The first element following the light source is called the linear polarizer. It converts the ordinary light into plane-polarized light. The second element is a quarter wave plate which converts the plane-polarized light into circularly polarized light. Following the quarter wave plate, a specimen made of transparent photoelastic material is located in a loading device. The second quarter wave plate is set and the last element is the analyzer. These polarizing elements, two quarter wave plates and two linear polarizing filters, were purchased from the USA. Frames and other structures for holding polarizing filters were machined and assembled to be rotated. Light box, which includes four incandescent lamps and two sodium-vapor lamps, was made. In order to proof the function of the newly built polariscope, Tardy compensation test was applied to a rectangular shaped specimen made of poly-carbonate material (PSM 1). The error of the fringe constant, which was measured by the newly built polariscope, was within 4.4 percent compared to the standard value of this material. It is possible to make a good quality of polariscope if accurate polarizing filters will be used.
