본 연구에서는 반복하중을 받는 구리 나노와이어에서 나타나는 초탄성 거동을 분자동역학 전산모사를 통해 해석하였다. 나노스케일에서는 표면적 대 부피비가 매우 크기 때문에 표면효과가 지배적으로 나타난다. 이로 인해 벌크상태에서는 보이지 않던 새로운 성질들이 나노크기에서 나타나는데, 이러한 효과로 인해 나노와이어의 경우에는 초탄성 거동을 보인다. 초탄성 거동은 나노와이어의 결정학적 방향의 재배열에 의한 것으로써, 하중을 받는 동안 나노와이어의 결정 구조는 변하지 않으며, 쌍정의 발생 및 쌍정계면의 전파에 의해 결정학적 방향이 재배열된다. 재배열에 의해 부분적으로 변형되었던 나노와이어는 하중을 제거하거나 하중의 방향이 바뀜에 따라 원래의 상태를 회복하는 거동을 보이게 된다. 본 연구에서는 분자 동역학 전산 모사를 통해 <100>/{100} 구리 나노와이어가 반복적인 압축-인장 거동 하에서 초탄성을 보이게 됨을 확인하였으며, 반복 하중 싸이클을 증가시키는 전산모사를 통해 나노와이어의 초탄성이 영구적으로 유지됨을 확인하였다.

To estimate the characteristics of Korean Ni-Ti alloy orthodontic wire, this study investigated compositions, tensile properties, bending properties, heat treatment effects, and ion releasing degrees, and compared these characteristics to those of the imported Ni-Ti alloy wire. The results obtained are as follows ; 1. Ti and -Ni elements in ORTHOLLOY were in a range showing superelasticity, and there was a little difference in the Ni and Ti contents of ORTHOLLOY as compared with those of SENTALLOY. 2. The results of the tensile test concerning ORTHOLLOY exhibited a superelastic effect, indicating an area of a definite amount of stress in spite of the changes in the range from $2\%\;to\;8\%$ in the strain rate. 3. ORTHOLLOY presented higher load values than SENTALLOY in the same deflection values when the wire was tested in three-point bending. A load range displaying a superelastic effect was 80-l00g, 140-l80g, and 130-200g respectively, in wire diameters of 0.014', 0.016', and 0.018' 4. By heat treatments at $400^{\circ}C$ and at $500^{\circ}C$, a load range showing the effect of superelasticitly was lessened by the duration of the heat treatment time. The superelastic effect was destroyed as a result of the 10 minutes heat treatment at $600^{\circ}C$. 5. The quantity of the Ni ion released from ORTHOLLOY, tended to be greater than the amount of released Ni ion in SENTALLOY. The Co ion released was very little(<0.01ppm) in SENTALLOY and ORTHOLLOY irrespective of the lapse of time. Released Ni ions on the 1st day were at the maximum, and the releasing rate showed plateaus after three days. 6. The surface morphology of SENTALLOY was relatively regular irrespective of the lapse of rime, and the corrosion tendency was not observed. However, the surface morphology of ORTHOLLOY was rather irregular and shelved fitting corrosion after immersion.

The researches have recently progressed toward the use of the superelastic shape memory alloys (SMAs) to develop new smart control systems that reduce permanent deformation occurring due to severe earthquake events and that automatically recover original configuration. The superelastic SMA materials are unique metallic alloys that can return to undeformed shape without additional heat treatments only after the removal of applied loads. Once the superelastic SMA materials are thus installed at the place where large deformations are likely to intensively occur, the structural system can make the best use of recentering capabilities. Therefore, this study is intended to propose new buckling-restrained braced frames (BRBFs) with superelastic SMA bracing systems. In order to verify the performance of such bracing systems, 6-story braced frame buildings were designed in accordance with the current design specifications and then nonlinear dynamic analyses were performed at 2D frame model by using seismic hazard ground motions. Based on the analysis results, BRBFs with innovative SMA bracing systems are compared to those with conventional steel bracing systems in terms of peak and residual inter-story drifts. Finally, the analysis results show that new SMA bracing systems are very effective to reduce the residual inter-story drifts.

형상기억합금은 2원 또는 3원 합금에 의해 외력과 온도 변화에 따라 오스테나이트 상과 마르텐사이트 상으로의 상변환을 유발한다. 이와 같은 형상기억합금은 두 가지의 고유한 특성으로 인해 최근에는 의학용 기구나 소형 액츄에이트 및 여러 분야에서 적용되어지고 있다. 이때 형상기억합금의 고유한 특성은 모상인 오스테나이트 상의 형상을 기억하여 외력에 의해 마르텐사이트 상으로 변형된 후에도 오스테나이트 종료온도 이상으로 가열하게 되면 원래의 형상으로 되돌아가는 형상기억 효과와 오스테나이트 종료온도 이상에서 넓은 탄성 영역을 가지는 초탄성 효과 등이다.(중략)

Due to recent changes in living conditions, people who suffer from vascular disease have been increasing. As a result, several kinds of procedures to treat diseases of the blood vessels are being carried out and the epidemiological analysis and interpretation is needed. In this paper, the mechanical behavior of blood vessels based on hyperelastic model were evaluated. The stress distributions in the arterial walls subjected to both normal blood pressure and high blood pressure are studied along with different opening angles representing as the effect of the residual stress. As a result, when applied to residual stress effects in blood vessels to act maximum stress compared to as the absence of residual stress effect about 50% stresses can be reduced. When high blood pressure was the normal blood pressure acting on the blood vessel wall that twice stress can be confirmed.

Superelastic shape memory alloys (SMAs) are metallic materials that can automatically recover to their original condition without heat treatment only after the removal of the applied load. These smart materials have been wildly applied instead of steel materials to the place where large deformation is likely to concentrate. In spite of many advantages, superelastic SMA materials have been limited to use in the construction filed because there is lack of effort and research involved with the development of the material model, which is required to reproduce the behavior of superelastic SMA materials. Therefore, constitutive material models as well as algorithm codes are mainly treated in this study for the purpose of simulating their hysteretic behavior through numerical analyses. The simulated curves are compared and calibrated to the experimental test results with an aim to verify the adequacy of material modeling. Furthermore, structural analyses incorporating the material property of the superelastic SMAs are conducted on simple and cantilever beam models. It can be shown that constitutive material models presented herein are adequate to reliably predict the behavior of superelastic SMA materials under cyclic loadings.

형상기억합금은 합금이 갖는 형상기억효과 및 초탄성효과 때문에 학문적으로 공업적으로 큰 흥미를 끌어왔다. 형상 기억효과는 Au-Cd 합금과 Cu-Zn 합금에서 최초로 발견되었지만 당시에는 크게 주목을 받지 못하였다. 그 후 1962년 Ti-Ni 합금에서 형상기억효과가 발견된 이래로 크게 주목을 받게 되었고, 곧바로 상용화를 위한 노력이 이어져 리벳, 열엔진, 커플링, 회로차단기 등에 적용이 시도되었다. 현재까지 약 300여종에 이르는 형상기억합금이 개발되어 있지만 형상기억효과의 안정성, 우수성, 내식성, 가공성, 내피로성, 내마모성이 우수한 Ti-Ni 합금이 가장 실용화에 적합한 합금으로 인식되고 있다. Ti-Ni합금은 1960년대에 개발되었지만 의료분야에 적용되기 시작한 것은 1980년대이고, 그 후 미국의 FDA가 Ti-Ni 합금으로 제조된 몇몇 3급(Class III) 임플란트를 인증하면서 시장규모도 폭발적으로 증가하고 있다. 일본의 경우 1980년대 초부터 Ti-Ni 합금을 치과용 임플란트로써 사용하여 왔, 독일, 중국, 러시아도 1980년대부터 임상에 적용해 왔다. 우리나라는 2004년 식약청(식품의약안정청)으로부터 제조 및 판매가 허가되어 현재 실제 임상에 적용되고 있다. 이와 같이 Ti-Ni 합금이 의료용 금속재료로서 널리 쓰이게 된 가장 근본적인 이유는 말할 나위 없이 합금이 갖는 형상기억효과 및 초탄성효과 때문이다. 본 강연에서는 Ti-Ni 합금을 의료용 금속재료의 입장에서 재조명해보고, 본 합금이 의료용 금속재료로서 어떠한 장점이 있으며, 그러한 장점을 의료분야에서 어떻게 응용하고 있는가에 대해 소개하고자 한다. 또한 의료용 Ti-Ni 합금에서 향후 개선되어야 할 요소에 대해서도 논의하고자 한다.

형상기억합금(SMA : Shape Memory Alloy)은 일반적인 금속이나 합금에서는 찾아볼 수 없는 형상기억효과(shape memory effect)와 초탄성 (superelasticity) 거동을 보이고 있다. 이러한 특성은 1951년에 금-카드뮴(Au-Cd) 합금에서 처음으로 발견되었으며, 1963년에 미국 해군병기연구소(Naval Ordnance Laboratory)에서 니켈-티타늄 (Ni-Ti) 합금에서 형상기억효과를 발견한 후로 널리 상용화되었다. 니티놀(nitinol)이라고 불려지는 니켈-티타늄 계열의 형상기억합금은 단위 부피당 많은 에너지를 낼 수 있고, 내 부식성(corrosion resistance)과 생화학적 적합성(bio-compatibility)이 뛰어나다. 또한 100,000사이클 이상의 긴 사용수명을 갖기 때문에 작동기(actuator)로서 우수한 특징을 갖는다.

The aim of this study was to compare the clinical performance of 4 types of orthodontic wires, indicated for initial tooth alignment: stainless steel, multistranded steel, superelastic and thermoactivated nickel-titanium. A prospective randomized clinical trial was conducted on a sample of 45 patients, at the Dental School of the State University of Rio do Janeiro, Brazil. Fixed appliances were fitted and study casts were obtained from each patient. Randomly, the wires were allocated as follows: 26 dental arches for superelastic NiTi wires, 22 for stainless steel, 22 for multistranded and 20 for thermoactivated archwires. After 8 weeks, the archwires were removed and impressions for study casts were taken again. Using a 3D digitization technique of defined anatomical points on the study cast crowns, a Dental Irregularity Index (DII) was created for each study cast. The difference between DII before and after the archwire insertion expressed the aligning effect of the wires. ANOVA tests were employed to evaluate the anatomical point approximation (positive DII) and separation (negative DII), for each area of the dental arches: upper and lower whole arch and anterior arch. Results showed no significant difference between the different archwires.

We present an interactive cloth simulation method based on the mass-spring model, which is the most widely used one in the field of cloth animation. We focus especially on the case where relatively strong forces are applied on relatively small number of mass-points. Through distributing the forces on some specific points to the overall mass-points, our method simulates the cloth in pseudo-real time. Given a deformed cloth, we start from resolving the super-elasticity effect using Provot's dynamic inverse method [9]. In the next stage, we adjust the angles between neighboring mass-points, to finally remove the unexpected zigzags due to the previous super-elasticity resolving stage.
