Objective: This study was designed to analyze the primary and secondary stability characteristics of orthodontic mini-screws of tapered design when compared with the cylinder mini-screw. Methods: A total of 48 mini-screws were placed into the buccal alveolar bone of the mandible in 6 male beagle dogs. Comparison was made between tapered and cylinder type mini-screws (Biomaterials Korea, Seoul, Korea). Maximum insertion torque (MIT) was measured using a torque sensor (Mark-10, MGT 50, USA) during installation, and maximum removal torque (MRT) was recorded after 3 and 12 weeks of loading. Results: Taper mini-screws showed a higher MIT value of 22.3 Ncm compared with cylinder mini-screw showing 13.6 Ncm (p < 0.001). The MRT of the taper mini-screw showed a significantly higher value of 9.1 Ncm than those of cylinder mini-screw of 5.7 Ncm at 3-weeks after installation (p < 0.05). However, there was no difference in the MRT value between the taper and cylinder mini-screws at 12 weeks of loading. Conclusions: These results showed that the high insertion torque of the taper mini-screw design increases initial stability until 3 weeks of loading, but does not have any effect on the secondary stability at 12 weeks of loading.

Using a numerical model solving the shallow-water equations, unusual huge run-up heights observed in the lees of both Babi and Okushiri islands were investigated in detail. The effects of incident tsunami widths were particularly examined by adjusting the transverse length of the wave-maker in laboratory and numerical experiments. The calculated run-up heights were compared with the laboratory experimental data. It has been found that the run-up heights in the lee of a conical island are strongly dependent on the ratio of a transverse length of incident tsuanmis to a base diameter of the island. Keywords : shallow-water equations, tsunami, run-up height, conical island.

The achene morphology about 16 taxa of Korean Aster L. sensu lato were investigated to estimate its taxonomic values. The achene shapes were divided into four types; oblanceolate-oblong, obovate, oblong and obovate-oblong. The trichome shape on achene six types; uniseriate-conical, filiform, cylindrical, capitate type, long stalk capitate and globular. Their distributional features on upper part of achene four types; absent, sparse distribution of conical trichome, dense distribution of conical trichome and mixed distribution of conical and capitate trichome. The achene shapes and trichome characteristics were regarded to be a good characters in delimiting taxa because these did not differ among individuals in same taxa, but differ among the taxa. If Korean Aster L. sensu late were divided into Kalimeris, Heteropappus, Aster, Cymnaster, the capitate forms and mixed distribution of conical and capitate trichome were recognized as the good characters in delimting above section such as genus Kalimeris and Heteropappus, section Pseudocalimeris of Aster L. sensu stricto.

스프링은 가장 널리 이용되어지고 있는 기계요소이다. 본 논문에서는 원추형 코일스프링의 강성을 구하기 위하여, 빔요소를 이용한 유한요소법을 사용하였다. 가상일의 법칙을 이용하였고, 코일스프링의 하중벡터를 압축 분포하중으로 대체하였다. 하중의 증가에 의한 절점에서의 변위는 유한요소법를 이용하여 계산하였다. 단계법으로 결점의 변위를 중첩하여 전체 강성행렬을 구하였다. 유한요소법에 의한 해석치는 실험치와 잘 일치하였다. 본 논문에서 제시한 프로그램을 사용하여, 스프링 강성과 응력을 예측할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Any arbitrarily shaped laminated composite shells of revolution can be sum of the conical shell elements. Therefore, finite element model of conical shell element will be developed in this study. To verify consistency and validity of this model, natural vibrations of this model is compared with the analytical solution of cylindrical shell. Herein, an extensive parametric study is presented to assess the modeling capability of this model in class of laminated composite cylinders. It is seen that the proposed model provides highly accurate results with analytical solution. Once development of this conical shell element is done, any arbitrarily shaped composite shells of revolution can be easily analyzed.

The typical biomechanical properties of an internal conical connection (ICC) are axial displacement and loss of preload. The axial displacement of an ICC without a vertical stop can cause the loss of preload and a lowered occlusion. The stress of an ICC is concentrated on the contact interface of the abutment and not on the screw, and during placement, it is important to choose a wider coronal wall thickness as much as possible. The ICC should also be placed below the level of the bone crest. During the restoration of an ICC, care should be taken to ensure an appropriate abutment shape and an accurate connection. To get the best clinical results, it is important to select its wall thickness and place it in the appropriate position to restore it adequately.

This study proposes a path generation technique for simultaneous five-axis driving for ball bar measurement, which is equivalent to cone frustum machining as mentioned in the NAS979 standard. The technique is generalized for a 3D circular path, and it is applicable to all machine tools regardless of their structural configurations. A mathematical machine input model that consists of a five-axis machine tool, ball-bar measurement and conical path information as inputs is presented for easy NC code generation, simulation for various test conditions, and a measurement test. The movement range of rotary axes, which depends on various conditions, is mathematically analyzed based on the proposed conical path model. Moreover, the effect of the movement range on various conditions (apex angle and inclination angle, ball bar tilting acceptance angle, offset position of workpiece ball, etc.) is analyzed.

본 기술은 암반사면 보강공법에서 철근보강재인 네일(Nail)에 원추형콘(철근 규격에 따라 기울기 $19~23^{\circ}$, 높이 40~45mm, 아랫변 65~70mm)을 일정한 간격으로 다수 장착하여 그라우트재와 원 지반까지 방사입체형으로 힘을 미치게 하는 암반사면 보강공법이다. 본 신기술 공법은 네일링 공사 시 원추형 콘을 장착, 삽입함으로서 부착력과 인발력을 증가시켜 비탈면 보강공사 시에 안전성을 높인 공법이다. 따라서 네일링공법을 사면붕괴 방지공사에 적극 활용할 수 있으므로 네일링 공법의 사용을 활성화 하며, 지진이나 지반변형 등 외력에 의한 사면붕괴를 사전에 방지할 수 있어 사면재해를 미연에 방지하는 효과가 있다. 또한 현재가지 네일링공법은 인발톤수가 적고 네일에 대한 신빙성 결여로 아주 적은 인발톤수를 필요로 하는 현장이외에는 사용을 기피하는 일이 많았다. 그러나 본 원추형 콘네일 공법은 어스앙카, 록앵커, 보강토공법, 지지말뚝공법, 옹벽 등에 대한 대체공법으로 이용할 수 있는 여건이 충족됨으로 사면보강재로서의 사용 확산이 기대된다.

In the present study, the effects of supply gas and water mist on the heptane pool fire extinguishing performance were investigated using the full cone and hollow cone twin-fluid atomizers. Air or nitrogen of 30 lpm (Liter per minute; L/min) was used as the supply gas, and the experiments were conducted under the water flow rate conditions of 0 lpm (i.e., discharge of air or nitrogen only) and 0.085 lpm (i.e., discharge of water mist with supply gas). Experimental results confirmed that the use of water mist discharge with the supply gas and full cone spray pattern reduced the fire extinguishing time as compared to that of only supply gas discharge and hollow cone spray pattern. In addition, for the discharge of water mist using the full cone twin-fluid atomizer, water mist significantly affected fire extinguishing performance, whereas the effect of the supply gas was less pronounced. On the other hand, for the discharge of water mist using the hollow cone twin-fluid atomizer, the fire extinguishing time was remarkably reduced by the supply of nitrogen, as compared with that of air, indicating that the supply gas as well as water mist can significantly affect fire extinguishing performance.

A turbulent flow in a conical diffuser with total divergence angle of 8.deg. was numerically studied. The low Reynolds number k-.epsilon. model(Launder-Sharma model) was adopted to simulate the turbulence. The continuity and time averaged Navier-Stokes equations in a nonorthogonal coordinate system were solved by a finite volume method based on the fully elliptic formulation. The low Reynolds number k-.epsilon. model reasonably simulates the pressure recovery and the mean velocity components. However, there are also considerable discrepancies between predicted and measured shear stress distribution on the wall and turbulent kinetic energy distributions. It is necessary to investigate the flow structure at the entry of the diffuser, numerically as well as experimentally.
