저속으로 낙하하는 원통형 미소체의 유체역학적 거동에 대하여 점탄성 유체의 비 뉴우튼 성질의 영향에 관해서 연구가 수행되었다. 원통형 미소체의 직경 및 직경에 대한 길 이의 비 (Aspect Ratio)의 영향에 관해서도 또한 고찰하였으며 본 실험에서는 뉴우튼 유체 로서 99.5%의 글리세린용액과 점탄성 유체로서 1,000 wppm 의 polyacyla-mide(Separan AP-273) 수용액이 각각 사용되었다. 낙하하는 미소체의 Aspect Ratio가 증가할수록 무차원 최종속도는 뉴우튼 유체내에서 보다 점탄성 유체내에서 그증가속도가 더욱 커짐을 보였다. 뉴우튼 유체 내에서 낙하하는 원통형 미소체의 마찰저항 계수는 실험데이타로부터 계산된 값과 이론치가 비교적 잘일치하나 점탄성 유체에 관한 마찰저항 계수는 본 실험의 결과치와 무한히 긴 원통형 미소체에 대한 기존연구의 이론값과는 상당한 차이가 있음을 알수 있었 다, 이는 점탄성 유체내에서 수직으로 낙하하는 원통형 미소체의 저항계수가 k(즉 용기의 직경에 대한 미소체 직경의 비), power-law index 레이놀즈수 뿐아니라 aspect ratio를 포함 하는 새로운 관계식이 도출되어야 함을 분명히 보여주고 있다.

This study deals with elasto-plasticity of granular micro-structures which recovers continuum elasto-plasticity in its counterpart. The theory is based on doublet mechanics that assumes particles of finite size and connecting linear springs, and it makes extensions to plasticity. The result shows that the micro model has one to one relationship with the continuum model in the simplest case. Micro-strain and micro-stress of two dimensional plane stress problem were calculated, which shows the behavior of the specimen and verifies the effectiveness of this model.

탄소강 평활재 및 미소결함재를 사용하여, 미소 정류크랙의 크랙 개폐구거동의 상세한 관찰과 초기결함을 상정한 미소 원공과의 상호 한계크기의 비교 검토를 통하여, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 평활재의 정규크랙은, 피로과정중에 압축잔류응역이 크랙선단의 개구를 억제하는 것에 의하여 정류하게 되고, 그 크기는 평활재의 피로한도를 저하시키지 않은 미소 원공의 한계크기와 거의 일치하여, 두 경우가 역학적으로 거의 등가함을 시사해 주고 있다.

생체공학이나 의학에서 사용되거나 연구되고 있는 미소기계의 현황에 대하여 살펴보고자 한다. 이외에도 체내에 주입된 미소기계의 위치를 고속 DSE(Digital Subtraction Echocardiograpy)를 사용하여 찾는 연구나, 형상기억합금을 이용한 내시경용 Cather-Tip에 관한 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 이러한 미소기계에 관한 연구는 앞으로 해결해야 할 문제를 많이 가지고 있고, 지금의 기술로는 요원한 듯이 보인다. 그러나 인간의 생명에 대한 애착과 생활수준의 향상으로 인하여 일단 미소기계와 의학이 어느정도의 접목 가능성만 확인되면 기술발전의 정도가 급속하게 빨라질 것으로 생각된다. 또한 그 발전의 정도에 따라 의학의 혁명을 가져올 수도 있을 것으로 생각되며 필자도 이런 날이 하루속히와서 인류가 병으로 부터 좀더 자유로워지기를 기원한다.

In this study, we propose an automated smile analysis system for self smile training. The proposed system detects the face area from the input image with the AdaBoost algorithm, followed by identifying facial features based on the face shape model generated by using an ASM(active shpae model). Once facial features are identified, the lip line and teeth area necessary for smile analysis are detected. It is necessary to judge the relationship between the lip line and teeth for smiling degree analysis, and to this end, the second differentiation of the teeth image is carried out, and then individual the teeth areas are identified by means of histogram projection on the vertical axis and horizontal axis. An analysis of the lip line and individual the teeth areas allows for an automated analysis of smiling degree of users, enabling users to check their smiling degree on a real time basis. The developed system in this study exhibited an error of 8.6% or below, compared to previous smile analysis results released by dental clinics for smile training, and it is expected to be used directly by users for smile training.

Despite all the recent advances in biodegradable material-based microneedles, the bending and failure (especially buckling) of a biodegradable microneedle during skin tissue insertion remains a major technical hurdle for its large-scale commercialization. A reduction in skin tissue puncture force during microneedle insertion remains an essential issue in successfully developing a biodegradable microneedle. Here, we consider uniaxial and equibiaxial prestrains applied to a skin tissue as mechanophysical stimuli that can reduce the skin tissue puncture force, and investigate the effect of prestrain on the changes in skin tissue puncture force. For a porcine skin tissue similar to that of humans, the skin tissue puncture force of a flat-end microneedle is measured with a z-axis stage equipped with a load cell, which provides a force-time curve during microneedle insertion. The findings of this study lead to a quantitative characterization of the relationship between prestrain and the skin tissue puncture force.

Existing microplane models for concrete use three-dimensional spherical microplanes in the analysis of two-dimensional planar members as well as three-dimensional members. Also, they do not accurately describe the post-cracking behavior of reinforced concrete in tension-compression. In this study, a new microplane model is developed to overcome the disadvantages of the existing models. Instead of the spherical microplanes, the proposed microplane model uses disk microplanes involving a less number of microplanes and two-dimensional stresses and strains. As the result, the proposed model is more effective in numerical calculations. Also, the concept of the strain boundary is introduced to describe accurately the compressive behavior of reinforced concrete with tensile cracks in tension-compression. The validity of the proposed model is verified by comparison with existing experiments. In this paper, the microplane model and the numerical techniques involved in the finite element analysis are described in detail.

Interfacial shear strength between epoxy and carbon fiber was analyzed utilizing a hemi-spherical microbond specimens adhered onto single carbon fiber. The hemi-spherical microbond specimen showed high regression coefficient and small standard deviation in the measurement of interfacial strength as compared with a droplet and an inverse hemi-spherical one. This seemed to be caused by the reduced meniscus effects and the reduced stress concentration In the region contacting with a pin-hole loading device. Finite element analysis showed that the stress distributions along the fiber/matrix interface in the hemi-spherical specimen had a stable shear stress distribution along the interface without any stress mode change. The experimental data was also different according to the kinds of loading device such as the microvise-tip and the pin-holed plate.

This paper presents the design, fabrication, and testing of polysilicon electrostatic microactuators that resonate in the direction parallel to the silicon susbstrates. A set of six different designs has been developed using a theoretical model and design formulae developed for the mocroactuators. Microactuator prototypes are fabricated from a 2.1 $\mu{m}$-thick LPCVD polysilicon film, using a 4-mask surface-micromachining process. The prototypes are tested under a d.c. bias voltage of 45V with an a.c. drive voltage amplitude of 20 v.Measured resorant frequencies are in the ranges of 40-60 kHz, showing a good agreement to their theoretical estimates within error bounds of .$\pm$.5%. Important issues inthe design and microfabrication of the microactuators are discussed, together with potential applicaitons of the key technology involved.

A micro-PIV(particle image velocimetry) measurement has been conducted to investigate flow fields in such microfluidic devices as microchannels and micronozzle. The present study employs a state-of-art micro-PIV system which consists of epi-fluorescence microscope, 620nm diameter fluorescent seed particles and an 8-bit megapixel CCD camera. Velocity vector fields with a resolution of $6.7\times6.7{\mu}m$ has been obtained, and the attention has been paid on the effect of varying measurement conditions of particle diameter and particle concentration on the resulting PIV results. In this study, the microfluidic elements were fabricated on plastic chips by means of MEMS processes and a subsequent molding process. Flow fields in a variety of microchannels as well as micronozzle have been investigated.
