In this study, finite element analysis of Carbon-Steel Laminates with different layup pattern was conducted to verify similarity to the results of previous studies and to develop the effective model for low-velocity impact analysis. As in the experiment, Finite element analysis of the Fiber metal laminates (FMLs) with five different lamination patterns was carried out, and the impact resistance of the FMLs was confirmed by comparing the energy absorption ratio. The FMLs showed the higher energy absorption ratio than the mild steel having the same thickness, and it was confirmed that all the FMLs had the high energy absorption ratio over than 96%. In addition, the low-velocity impact analysis model proposed in this study can be effectively used to study composite forms and automotive structures.

As the basic knowledge during designing most moving mechanical structures, vibration engineering is a subject teaching the theory on vibration control and isolation, which also cultivating the ability of analyze variety of vibration problems. However, vibration engineering is more difficult to understand than other dynamics courses in mechanical field, so the development of educational equipments in order to help understanding physical theory of vibration is really necessary. So in this paper we could see the effect after doing simple experiment process using the educational vibration equipment with multiple function, students could easily understand physical theory of vibration. The educational vibration equipment with multiple function and its application range are introduced, which could performance four kinds of typical vibration phenomenon: vibration of multidegree of freedom system, vibration of beam, vibration of beam, and vibration of plate. Finally, assessments of response and improvement plan are proposed through a survey.

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to assess the efficacy of a bioabsorbable polylactide (PLA) plate and screw for treating injuries of ankle fractures. Materials and Methods: 24 patients who underwent an open reduction and internal fixation operation for ankle fractures from July 2005 to March 2007 were enrolled into the study. There were 15 men and 9 women. The average age of the patients was 44 years and the average follow-up period was 16 years and two months (16.2 months). All cases were divided into low grade fracture patient (11) who belongs in type A and B of Danis-Weber classification and high grade fracture patient (13) who belongs in type C1, C2 of Danis-Weber classification, and each groups were analyzed by clinical (Meyer score) and radiological finding at the time of their last follow-up evaluation. Results: The clinical results according to Meyer scoring system, showed that all patient with low grade fracture had good to excellent result, but only 54% of patient with high grade fracture had good to excellent result. According to Cedell's radiologic finding, there were 91% cases above fair in low grade fracture. But there were 62% of patient above fair result in high grade fracture, the reduction losses were seen in 38% of patient with high grade fracture. Conclusion: Bioabsorbable PLA plate and screw is good internal fixation device which doesn't have additional operation for removal of implant because of slow absorption within the human body. It showed sufficient strength for acquisition and maintenance of reduction in low grade fracture, but need attention to use because of many cases of reduction loss in high grade fracture. So, it seems to be safe and effective when used in heeling of low grade fracture under considering about type of fracture sufficiently.

A finite element dynamic simulation is performed to gain an insight about the stiffened blast wall structures subjected to blast loading. The simulation was verified using qualitative and quantitative comparisons for different materials. Based on in-depth examination of blast simulation recordings, dynamic behaviors occurred in the blast wall against the explosion are determined. Subsequent simulation results present that the blast wall made of the high performance steel performs much better in the shock absorption. In this paper, the existing finite element shock analysis using the LS-DYNA program is further extended to study the dynamic response of the stiffened blast wall made of the high-performance steel considering high strain-rate effects. The numerical results for various parameters were verified by comparing different material models with dynamic effects occurred in the stiffened blast wall from the explosive simulation.

The use of thin-walled flexural members has proven to be a practical way to achieve the lowest cost in the construction of prefabricated long-span, low-rise building frames in steel. On the other hand, most of these structures are subjected to corrosion due to environmental exposure, which can reduce their carrying capacity. Corrosion damage is a serious problem for these structures as it causes thickness loss. That is, the class of a section (plastic, compact, non-compact, or slender) may change from one to another due to the loss of thickness of the compression flange and web due to corrosion. In this study, the effects of corrosion on thin-walled members in long-span steel frames were evaluated with regard to the moment-rotation curve, initial stiffness, maximum load capacity, stiffness in the post-maximum capacity, and energy absorption.

Purpose : This study evaluated the usefulness of resorbable plate and screw for treatment of maxillofacial bone fractures. Patients and methods : From july, 2000 to july, 2002, we used resorbable plates and screws($Biosorb^{(R)}$ FX, Bionix Inc, Finland) on 126 patients for treatment of maxillofacial bone fractures. Among them, 80 patients were capable of periodic following up to present season. We evaluated these patients with clinical, radiographic findings and subjective satisfaction. Results : 80 patients composed of 63 men and 17 women. Complication rates are 7.5%(6/80) recorded. 1 of bulging sensation, 3 of infection sign, 2 of the plate detachment were shown. The plates involved in such complications were removed. The other patients(92.5%) were not shown any problems. We could not find complete resorption of screw holes in the mandibular symphysis area even though two years later after surgery. Conclusion : Bioresorbable plates and screws are useful as fixation material at maxillofacial fractures although strength is thought to be weaker than titanium plate. But to reduce the possible complicaions, need to careful clinical and radiographical evaluations.

Polymeric membranes consisting of poly(d,1-lactide) as a polymer matrix and crystallizable progesterone as a drug were prepared by coagulating polymeric solutions. The homogeneous casting solutions in dimethyformamide were solidified by using three different coagulating processes : solvent evaporation under vacuum, solvent extraction via immersion into the nonsolvent bath, or vapor exposure at high humidity condition. With solvent removal via evaporation under vacuum, the cast solution film was vitrified to form a homogeneous film containing progesterone of spherical shape distributed evenly in the film. Being prepared by solvent extraction via immersion into a water bath, the resulting membrane showed an asymmetric structure, with progesterone of big crystallites distributed unevenly in the structure. On the other hand, the coagulation under high humidity transformed the cast film into a sponge-like structure, where progesterone took a shape like flake.

스퍼터 이온펌프(Sputter Ion Pump)는 주로 화학흡착으로 동작하며 기계적 진동이 없고, 기름 등의 오염 물질을 배출하지 않으며, 수명이 길어 초고청정 진공이 요구되는 표면실험장치, 표면분석계, 입자가속기 등에서 널리 사용 되고 있다. 일정한 지름을 갖는 다수의 원통 양극과 그 양단에 두개의 음극판을 배치시킨 후, 양극과 음극 사이에 수 kV의 전압을 걸고 원통의 축방향으로 자장을 인가하면 페닝 방전이 발생한다. 냉음극에서 방출된 전자는 양극으로 비행하면서 가스를 이온화한다. 이온분자는 가스흡수성 게터재료로 된 음극에 충돌하여 스퍼터링을 일으키며 게터막를 주변에 증착시킨다. 이온 및 중성 가스는 게터 고체막 속에 주입 포획되는 형태로 배기된다. 스퍼터 이온펌프는 $10^{-5}$ Pa 부근에서 최대 배기속도를 가지며, 압력이 낮아질 수록, 특히 $10^{-10}$ Pa영역 이하에서는 그 배기속도가 급격히 저하되며, $10^{-10}$ Pa영역에서는 배기능력을 거의 상실한다. 따라서 스퍼터 이온펌프 단독으로 진공시스템을 배기할 때 도달압력은 $10^{-9}$ Pa 영역에 머무르게 되며, $10^{-10}$ Pa 이하의 극고진공을 얻기 위해서는, $10^{-8}$ Pa 이하의 압력에서 배기 속도가 압력과 무관한 흡착펌프(getter pump)와 이온펌프를 조합하여 사용한다. 본 실험에서는 $600^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도로 진공로에서 탈개스시킨 진공용기를 배기속도 450, 60, 30, 20, 5, 3 l/s의 6종류의 이온펌프와 배기속도 400 l/s, 100 l/s의 non-evaporable getter (NEG) 펌프를 조합시켜 배기하여 그 배기 특성을 비교하였다. 도달 압력은 이온펌프의 배기속도가 클수록 낮아지는 경향을 보여주었다. 450 l/s 이온펌프와 400 l/s NEG를 조합하여 배기시킬 때 도달 압력은 ~$2{\times}10^{-10}$ Pa을 기록하여 가장 낮았으며, 3 l/s 이온펌프와 400 l/s NEG를 조합하였을 때는 $ 2{\sim}3{\times}10^{-8}$ Pa을 기록하였다. 450 l/s 이온펌프와 400 l/s NEG를 조합한 경우 잔류가스의 대부분이 수소였으나, 3 l/s 이온펌프와 400 l/s NEG의 조합한 경우에는 메탄의 잔류량이 수소 보다 많았다. 이 결과는 메탄을 배기하지 못하는 NEG의 배기 특성을 보완하기 위해서는 일정 배기속도 이상의 이온 펌프가 필요함을 보여준다.

The steel-tube is exposed to a radiation from X-ray source. The transmitted radiation is detected by a detector, usually film or more recently an imaging plate(IP) of Computed Radiography(CR). The detected radiation overlaps the region of both sides of the object. The radiographic images reflect the projections of the rays, passing twice through both external and internal tube material. Nonlinear distortion due to the radioactive transmission and geometric disposition also appears on images. In this paper, an analytical approach is presented to achieve image reconstruction from the steel-tube CR images. Parameters related to radiation and measuring structure, such as intensities, absorption in material and geometric specifications linked with the collimating components, are calculated and identified in order to construct the renoval images for twofold regions of circle-type steel tubes. A correction procedure for region recovery most similar to the true tube is designed. The application of this approach on CR images is shown and reconstructed results are discussed.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of resorbable plate in the healing process of mandibular fracture. Reduction and rigid fixation was carried out on the artificial mandibular fracture site of the rabbits, using a resorbable screw, 1.5mm in diameter and 4.0mm in length, and an absorbable plate 1.5mm in thickness(Lactosorb$^{(R)}$). En block tissue specimens with plate were taken from the rabbits at 4, 6, 8, and 10 weeks intervals and specimen were observed with light microscope under the hematoxylin-eosin staining, to observe the inflammatory reaction and tissue healing process. The following conclusions were drawn: 1. The subject displayed good healing with no signs of detachment of the fixation plate. 2. At 4 weeks, the plate was covered by the connective tissue. Then at 6 weeks, bone regeneration was discovered around the plate. 3. During the period of healing, no inflammatory reaction or foreign body reaction, as a result of using resorbable plate, were observed. 4. At 8 weeks, the initial phase of the absorption of the plate was observed. Then at 10 weeks, macrophage were observed around the plate, indicating the absorption phase was in process. From the above results, it can be determined that when the resorbable plate is applied to rabbit, full recuperation occurs naturally in the absence of inflammatory reaction and foreign body reaction. The selected study is clinically valuable in proving this procedure.
