In design of sport footwear, bending stiffness of its toe part is an important factor though it can be hardly measured. This paper introduces a device for measuring the bending stiffness. The device is simply designed with aluminum frames, one AC motor, two load-cells, one encoder and control hardwares. The mechanism measuring the bending moment of a shoe is described. Then, it was used to observe how the midsole material and design of a sports shoe affect on its bending stiffness. For the experiments, various specimens prepared, where each midsole of the specimens is different in terms of material, thickness and hardness. With those specimens, experiments were performed by using the device and then the bending stiffness was computed by applying the least square curve fitting after the bending moment data were measured. The specimen with Poly-urethane(PU) midsole has the higher bending stiffness than the one with Phylon(PH) midsole, and the midsole thickness affects more on the bending stiffness than the midsole hardness. Based on those results, it can be concluded that the measurement device can provide consistent bending stiffness data to sports footwear and the bending stiffness of a footwear measured by the developed device can be used as a major parameter in the footwear design.

Recently, a great attention has been paid to the mechanical behavior of ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) film, which is widely used in current smart devices due to its excellent electrical properties and transparency. In this study, the reliability of ITO thin films on flexible substrates was investigated using bending test and bending fatigue test. According to the relative position of ITO and substrate, the experiment was conducted on both outer and inner bending conditions. Inner bending condition exhibited superior electrical stability compared to outer bending test. The electrical resistance during outer bending fatigue test significantly increased compared to that in the inner bending fatigue. The crack nucleation and propagation differs according to the stress state and they have a great influence on the electrical resistance. The crack morphologies were observed by scanning electron microscopy.

This study examined the bending performance of high strength and seismic purpose reinforcing bars experimentally with various parameters. For the experimental approach on the bending performance, the specimens were prepared with parameters, such as steel grades, diameters of reinforcing bars, and bending angles of reinforcing bars. Tensile strength tests on the reinforcing bars, the bending tests and re-bending tests, and the second tensile strength tests on the re-bended reinforcing bars were conducted. According to the test results on high strength and seismic purpose reinforcing bars, defects did not appear when the yield strength of the reinforcing bar was 500 MPa or less and the diameter was D13 or less, even when the first bending process was performed with a $135^{\circ}$ bending angle and a $2d_b$ inner radius. The bending performance decreased asthe strength and diameter of the reinforcing bars was increased. In addition, there was no significant difference between the general reinforcing bars and seismic purpose-reinforcing bars.

유리섬유 강화 열가소성 복합재료는 고상성형법에 의해 저렴한 가격으로 큰 부피의 제품의 제조에 널리 사용될 수 있어 아주 좋은 전망을 가지고 있다. 그러나 이러한 재료의 성형성이나 재료거동의 특성은 아직 잘 파악되지 않았다. 본 연구의 주안점은 이러한 재료의 단순 굽힘에서의 굽힘성형성을 연구하는데 두었다. 실험에 사용된 재료는 임의의 방향으로 위치한 유리섬유를 중량비로 20 %, 35 %, 40 % 함유한 폴리프로필렌이다 굽힘시험은 75 $^{\circ}C$에서 150 $^{\circ}C$ 사이의 온도에서 25 $^{\circ}C$ 씩 증가하면서 행했고, 편치속도는 2.54 mm/sec와 0.0254 mm/sec에서 행했다. 단순 굽힘시험에서 측정된 굽힘성형성은 해석적 모델로 예측한 결과와 비교하였다. 실험결과와 예측결과가 비교적 잘 일치함을 보였으며, 굽힘성 map으로써 성형 온도와 펀치반경의 좌굴에 대한 효과를 가시화 함은 물론 좋은 성형조건을 선정할 수 있는 좋은 도구로써 나타내었다.

Fiber reinforced composite (FRC) has been widely used in operative and prosthetic fields of dentistry and its use is expanding into the orthodontic field. The purpose of this study was to examine the changes of flexural properties of FRC reinforced with silica glass fiber (FibreKor, Jeneric/Pentron Inc.. Wallingford. U.S.A.) according to the duration of water absorption. Specimens were grouped according to their shape as round and rectangular cross sections, and were immersed in distilled water at room temperature $(23^{\circ}C)$ for 0 hour 1 hour 1 week. 15 days, 1 mouth and 3 mouths. The number of specimens was 5 for each duration and bending test was done using a torque tester The flexural stiffness after 24 hour water immersion was reduced to 59% for round specimens and 25% for rectangular specimens and after 3 mouths of water immersion it was reduced to 29% and 19% stiffness of the 0 hour-specimen respectively Yield flexural moment after 24 hour water immersion was reduced to 45%for round specimens and 76% for rectangular specimens and after 3 months of water immersion it was reduced to 29% and 60% stiffness of the 0 hour-specimen respectively Ultimate flexural moment after 24 hour water immersion was reduced to 35% for round specimens and 76% for rectangular specimens and after 3 mouths of water immersion it was reduced to 25% and 37% stiffness of 0 hour-specimen respectively. Those results suggested that the flexural stiffness of FibreKor decreased greatly after initial water immersion. Consequently, further research for the maintenance of strength against water will be necessary

지지부에 비틀림 하중을 받는 Elstica는 비틀림 운동을 하며, 그 가진 주파수가 굽힘모드 근처일 때는 해당하는 굽힘 모드의 운동까지도 동시에 존재하게 된다. 이때 가진력의 크기가 작을때는 주기적인 운동이 된다. 가진력의 크기가 증가함에 따라 굽힘 운동은 굽힘 1차 모드와 연성된 유사주기운동이 발생하며, 이떤 범위 이상이 되면 굽힘 운동과 비틀림 운동이 결합된 진폭이 매우 크고 불규칙적인 비평면 운동(out of plane motion)이 발생하게 되며 이 때의 운동은 혼돈운동이다. Elastica가 굽힘 3차 고유진동수 근방의 주파수로 비틀림 하중을 받을 때의 정확한 이론적 해석을 위해서는 굽힘 3차모드 까지는 반영할 수 있는 식이 모델링 되어야 할 것으로 보인다. 이것은 복잡한 비평면운동을 할 때 굽힘 3차 모드까지 관찰된다는 사실에 근거한다.

This paper presents an experimental approach to design a bending-type actuator by using a shape memory alloy wire (SMA), composite strip, and spring. The SMA wire is attached to two edges of the bent strip to apply pre-stress to the SMA wire. The spring is used to provide recovery force right after actuation of the SMA wire. To investigate thermo-mechanical characteristics of the SMA wire, a series of DSC tests have been conducted and tensile tests under various levels of pre-stress and input power have been performed. Based on the measured properties of the SMA wire, bending-type actuators are designed and tested for different combination of strip, number of springs, and input power. It has been found that a bending-type actuator with a proper combination shows fast actuation performance and low power consumption.

The experiments are performed to evaluate mechanical properties about foam and face materials of sandwich beams. These results are applied to the flexural wrinkling estimation of sandwich beam. The 3 point bending test shows that it is reasonable to include pre-buckling behavior in flexural wrinkling analysis, which is closer to experimental result. It is also conducted to survey the wrinkling behavior.

원자현미경을 이용하여 나노허니컴 구조물의 굽힘 탄성계수를 측정하였다. 나노허니컴 구조물의 단면적은 기공들의 배열 때문에 위치마다 다르게 되고, 이로 인해 관성 영역 모멘트는 상수값으로 계산되지 않는다. 본 연구에서는 나노허니컴 구조물의 단위 면적 내 관성 영역 모멘트 평값을 벌크 구조의 나노허니컴 구조물의 영률로 가정하였다. 단위 면적 내 광성 영역 모멘트 평균값과 나노허니컴 구조물의 기공률 사이에 관계식이 유도되었다. 기공의 직경이 31 nm 인 양극 산화 알루미늄 필름이 나노허니컴 구조물로 제작되었다. 양극 산화 알루미늄의 영률이원자현미경을 이용한 굽힘 실험으로 측정되었으며, 나노 인장시험기의 인장 실험 결과와 비교되었다.
