The purposes of this study is to verify the fracture characteristic of steel which is manufactured in Korea, subjected to cyclic loading. This investigation deals with the low cycle fatigue behavior of longitudinal reinforcement in reinforced concrete bridge substructure (piles and columns of piers). Eighty-one specimens of longitudinal reinforcement were tested under axial strain controlled reversed cyclic tests with strain amplitudes. The selected test variables are ratio of tension strain to compression strain, yield stress of longitudinal reinforcement, ratio of diameter of longitudinal steel to clear length of longitudinal steel, size of longitudinal steel and strain amplitudes. Low cycle fatigue behavior and low-cycle fatigue life are investigated and discussed in this paper.

The purposes of this study are to verify the existing model and to propose a rational model for the fracture characteristic of reinforcing steel which is manufactured in Korea being subjected to cyclic loading. This investigation deals with modeling of the low-cycle fatigue behavior for longitudinal reinforcement steel of reinforced concrete bridge substructure (piles and columns of piers). The proposed low-cycle model of longitudinal steel is modeled based on 81 experimental data. The non-linear analysis program was developed using the proposed low-cycle model. The non-linear analysis are applied to the 6 circular bridge column test results and the accuracy of proposed model is discussed.

영활화혁발전소 보일러헤다 재질인 1Cr0.5Mo강의 파형에 따른 저주기 피로특성을 규명하고자 상온(298K) 및 고온(177K)의 삼각파와 사인파형 저주기 피로시험을 수행하였고 소성에너지법을 이용하여 파형에 따른 소성변형에너지와 피로수명과의 +관계를 분석하였다. 저주기 피로시 재료내부의 소성변형에너지를 히스테리시스루프의 면적으로 계산하여 구하였으며 이를통해 저주기 피로수명을 예측하였고 Coffin-Manson법 및 변형률분할법을 이용한 저주기 피로수명 결과와 서로 잘 일치하였다. 또한 상온 및 고온에서 피로반복수의 증가와 함께 재료가 반봅연화됨을 알 수 있었다.

The aim of this study was developing the non-invasive focused magnetic stimulation system(NI_FMSS) that can stimulates acupoints which are small parts and knotted muscular tissues. To evaluate pain treatment effect of the NI_FMSS, we caused muscle fatigue to 25 subjects in biceps of the arm. Then, we stimulated acupoints(trigger points) HT2 using low frequency stimulator(10 subjects) and NI_FMSS(10 subjects). The other 5 subjects had not been stimulated. We analyzed muscle fatigue recovery with median frequency, RMS and median power in frequency domain for 5 days. We checked the magnetic stimulation effect on acupoint by evaluation of muscle fatigue recovery. Therefore, we identified that the NI_FMSS was more efficient system to relieve muscle pain than electric-stimulation system.

In this study, change of body surface temperature was measured using Digital Infrared Thermographic Imaging(DITI) to check muscle fatigue recovery & muscle pain control by magnetic stimulations. For clinical trials, subjects were divided into 3 groups : non stimulation group(NSG), electrical stimulation group(ESG) and micro magnetic stimulation group(MSG). In result, temperature differences between left and right arm surfaces were measured as much as $0.86{\pm}0.43^{\circ}C$(n=96) after the exercise, $0.78{\pm}0.12^{\circ}C$ after the electrical stimulation and $0.1{\pm}0.39^{\circ}C$ after the micro magnetic stimulation. Also after 3days, temperature differences between left and right arm surfaces were measured as much as $0.3{\pm}0.14^{\circ}C$ in the NSG, $0.05{\pm}0.21^{\circ}C$ in the ESG and $0.03{\pm}0.21^{\circ}C$ in the MSG. These data showed that the lowest temperature difference between left/right body surface was measured in MSG.

질소의 함량을 0.04%~0.15% 까지 변화시킨 316L 스테인레스 강으로 공기 중에서 저주기 피로시험을 수행하였다. 전체변형범위 1%, 변형속도 2$\times$$10^3$/sec, 삼각파로 상온 ~$600^{\circ}C$ 온도범위에서 시험을 수행하였다. 상온에서는 사이클이 진행됨에 따라서 연화가 계속해서 발생하지만 온도가 증가하면 초기에 경화가 발생한다. 피로시험 초기에 경화되는 정도와 saturation 응력은 온도가 증가하면 증가한다. 이러한 경화현상은 동적변형시효에 의해서 발생되는 것으로 판명되었다. 질소를 첨가하면 강도는 증가하지만 경화는 감소되었다. 질소에 의한 경화의 감소는 질소가 동적변형시효를 억제하기 때문이다.

In addition to administering a questionnaire (J-survey), which questions individuals on subjective vocal fatigue, voice samples were collected before and after speech-language pathology sessions from 50 female speech-language pathologists in their 20s and 30s in the Daejeon and Chungnam areas. We identified significant differences in Korean Vocal Fatigue Index scores between the fatigue and non-fatigue groups, with the most prominent differences in sections one and two. Regarding acoustic phonetic characteristics, both groups showed a pattern in which low-frequency band energy was relatively low, and high-frequency band energy was increased after the treatment sessions. This trend was well reflected in the low-to-high ratio of vowels, slope LTAS, energy in the third formant, and energy in the 4,000-8,000 Hz range. A difference between the groups was observed only in the vowel energy of the low-frequency band (0-4,000 Hz) before treatment, with the non-fatigue group having a higher value than the fatigue group. This characteristic could be interpreted as a result of voice abuse and higher muscle tonus caused by long-term voice work. The perturbation parameter and shimmer local was lowered in the non-fatigue group after treatment, and the noise-to-harmonics ratio (NHR) was lowered in both groups following treatment. The decrease in NHR and the fall of shimmer local could be attributed to vocal cord hypertension, but it could be concluded that the effective voice use of speech-language pathologists also contributed to this effect, especially in the non-fatigue group. In the case of the non-fatigue group, the rhamonics-to-noise ratio increased significantly after treatment, indicating that the harmonic structure was more stable after treatment.

The use of an asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometric amplitude modulator to measure a relatively low frequency electric field strength is described. The sensitivity of an electric field sensor using a $Ti:LiMbO_3$ optical modulator is strongly affected by the shape of a electrode(probe antenna). To measure the low frequency electric field, a probe antenna of wide effective area is more useful than the usual dipole antenna. As a proof of this, the optical modulator was fabricated with a plate-type probe antenna and the usefulness of this antenna tested for measuring low frequency electric field strength. Measurements were performed in the range 0.1 V/cm to 60 V/cm at 60Hz through 100 kHz. Using a probe antenna of $10\;mm{\times}10\;mm$, the output voltage of $10^{-2}\;mV$ was measured with respect to the electric field strength of 0.1 V/cm at 60 Hz. By increasing the effective area of the probe antenna, better sensitivity is obtainable over the measured range.
