Three dimensional finite element models of lumbar interbody fusion using rage and screws were constructed for the simulation of stress distribution and maximum displacement. It is also performed to investigate the efforts of osteoporosis and the location of cage on the stress distribution. It is known from the results that the increase of the strength of trabecular bone causes to decrease the stress of cortical bone and to increase the stress of trabecular bone. And it is found that the trend of stress distribution is changed by the change of location of cage and proper location of cage enhances the rate of operational success.

In order to develop an effective way of measuring the mode I stress intensity factor, $K_I$, by the technique based on the alternating current potential drop (ACPD), the effect of the magnetic flux in the air on the change in potential drop due to load for both ferromagnetic and paramagnetic materials containing a two-dimensional surface crack was investigated. Additionally the effects of the demagnetization and the crack length on the change in potential drop were examined. In the case that the measuring system was designed to induce a large amount of electromotive force, the amount of the change in potential drop due to load was shown to increase largely Also the relationship between the change in potential drop and that in $K_I$ was indicated to be linear without any treatment and it was shown that the demagnetization had almost no effect on the change in potential drop. The change in potential drop did not depend on the crack length but on the measuring system. For the application of the ACPD technique to determine $K_I$.

Plastics have brought a significant progress in reducing the weight of automotive parts and improving gas emissions by replacing steel parts. The front end module (FEM) carrier, which was made from long glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (PP-LFT), is one of the most successful examples. On the other hand, more research on the fatigue behavior and vibration durability of automotive plastic parts will be needed to improve the long-term reliability. This paper analyzed the durability of the PP-LFT, which is fundamental to fatigue design and analysis of FEM carrier. Various fatigue tests were conducted at different stress ratios to evaluate the relationship between the fatigue life and stress amplitude or mean stress level. In the case of a fixed stress amplitude, the change in fatigue life with the stress ratio was 2~6% larger than the case of fixed maximum stress. Furthermore, this study observed the mechanism of initiation and propagation of the fatigue cracks in PP-LFT by scanning electron microscopy.

If an underground research facility for the validation of disposal concept is constructed in KAERI, it is expected to have a thick weathered zone and varying surface topology. In this study, the influence of different geological conditions, tunnel slope, tunnel size, and sequential excavation is investigated by 3D mechanical analysis using FLAC3D. Around the tunnel, it is not expected to develop any plastic zone and the maximum stress might be as high as 5 ㎫. The maximum compressive stress will be developed at about 20 m to e dead end of the tunnel. There is no difference on stress and displacement distributions between the cases with and without sequential excavation. It is expected to have stress release in the roof and floor after the excavation of the tunnel. There is no significant influence of weathered zone size, tunnel size, and tunnel slope on the stress and displacement distributions. The modeling for the intersection shows the minimum factor of safety is above 3, when the in situ stress ratio K is 3. From the study, it was possible to demonstrate that the small scale disposal research tunnel in KAERI will be mechanically stable.

결정성 고분자수지는 가공조건에 의해 결정되는 미세구조의 변화에 따라 최종물성 이 현저히 달라지므로 최종 성형품의 물성을 극대화하기 위해서는 성형가공 중에 필연적으 로 부가되는 열이력 뿐만 아니라 전단이력이 결정화 거동에 미치는 영향을 규명하고 가공조 건의 최적화를 통하여 미세구조를 적절히 제어하는 것이 요구된다. 따라서 본 연구에서 in-situ 상태로 전단유도 결정화거동을 조사할수 있는 rheo-kinetic 실험 방법을 개발하고 결정화 거동에 미치는 열이력과 전단이력의 영향을 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 비교적 결정화 속도가 빠른 폴리 부틸렌 테레프탈레이트 수지를 대상으로 냉각조건, 전단부가시간, 전단속도등을 다양하게 변화시키면서 plate-plate 레오미터로 시간에 따른 전단응력의 변화 를 조사하는 rheo-kinetic 연구를 수행하였다. 아울러 실험 중에 액체 질소로 급냉하여 얻은 시료를 대상으로 등온 및 비등온의 열분석 실험을 수행하고 JMA식과 Hoffman-Lauritzentlr 을 사용하여 분석한 다음, 그 결과를 rheo-kinetic 해석결과와 비교함으로써 결정화 거동에 미치는 전단응력의 영향을 규명하였다. 일정전단속동하에서 수행한 rheo-kinetic 실험결과, 시간에 따른 저난응력의 증가와 용융열이 증가하는 경향이 매우 유사한 거동을 보이므로 전 단응력의 증가는 결정화가 일어남에 기인한 결과임을 확인할수 있었으며 고분자수지가 전단 이력을 받게 되면 분자배향의 결과로 결정화 유도시간이 짧아지고 결정화속도가 증가할 뿐 만 아니라 보다 더 높은 온도에서 결정화가 일어나게 됨을 알수 있었다. 또 결정화 반가기 시간과 Hoffman-Lauritzen 식의 매개변수들이 전단속도, 전단부가시간, 결정화 온도 등의 이력에 무관하게 전단응력에 따라 선형적으로 변하고 있으므로 전단유도 결정화거동은 수지 에 부가되는 전단응력에 직접적인 영향을 받음을 알수 있었다. 이상과같은 전단유도 결정화 거동에 관한 결과를 가공공정상의 열전달 현상과 결합하여 해서하면 성형품 내부의모폴로지 의 예측이 가능하므로 성형품 물성의 극대화 방안의 수립에 이용될수 있을것으로 사료된다.

Member force, strain and stress distribution of a section are obtained for prestressed steel and concrete(PSSC) composite bridge subjected to dead and live load in order to interpret the effect of prestressing and deformation of tendon. The stress and strain distribution and moment capacity are obtained for both noncomposite and composite section and for allowable stress limit state, yield limit state and strength limit state. Reliability analysis is conducted after assuming limit states for deflection, stress and flexural strength. Comparing that the reliability index for stress is near 0 for example section which is designed to satisfy the allowable stress exactly, the reliability indexes for deflection and flexural strength are high. Reliability of PSSC girder which is designed based on allowable stress of bridge design code is high for deflection and flexural strength.

In this study, the stacking phase shift effect on the effective property and stress distribution was investigated for 8-harness satin weave textile composites under uni-axial tension. Textile configurations with varied phase shifts were modeled by unit cells and repeating boundary conditions were applied at the outer periodic surfaces. The effective property and stress were calculated by the unit cell analysis using macro-element to reduce the computational resource. It was found that stresses were dependent on the variation of tow arrangement of adjacent layers. The in-phase and the shifted configurations showed large differences in the stress distribution pattern. The stress level was very high in the resin region and the distribution of the maximum stresses was widely scattered.

The stress distribution of bone is altered by the rigid bone plate, sometimes resulting in unfavorable osteoporosis. The rigidity and the biocompatibility are important factors for the design of prosthesis, however, it is also necessary to consider the effect on the bone remodeling. In this paper, it is attempted to establish an approximate and simple method to predict the trend of the configuration of surface bone remodeling upon a bone plate using stress analysis. Thus, three dimensional finite element model of plated-human femur is generated and simulated. In addition, the stress difference method (SDM) is introduced and attempted to demonstrate the configuration of surface bone remodeling of the plated-human femur.

For the liquid rocket engine, the gas generator oxidizer shut-off valve which supplies the oxidizer to a gas generator needs structural safety under the internal pressure, which is higher than the chamber pressure. In this study, static stress analyses of the various design in the vicinity of the region where the stress is concentrated were performed for designing the lightweight valve, A lightest model of which the concentrated stress does not exceed the yield criteria has been suggested. Also, whole size effect of the valve on the concentrated stress was investigated.
