Mobile fish-cage was developed assuming a cage net with an enclosed area, which and estimated the hydrodynamic characteristics of the cage through the model experiment. Flux-shielding plates, installed in the bow were compared with the resistance test carried out by making a hole, bilge keel and stud, and basic block flow rate consisting of the results to a flat surface plate. The experimental results confirmed the improved resistance performance effect of 3~6% in the bilge keel and the stud form. To assess the stability of the fish-cage, evaluation of the stability in accordance with the stability criteria for determining the floating docks had confirmed that it satisfied the static stability performance under operating conditions at sea.

A numerical model analysis was performed to analyze the stability of the mooring lines of an automatic submersible fish cage system in waves and currents. The fish cage system consisted of a 12-angled rigid frame, net cage, cover net, 12 upper floats, 12 tanks(for fixed and variable ballast), mooring lines, anchors, and a control station. Simulations were performed with the cage at the surface of the water and at a depth of 20 m. A Morison equation type model was used for simulations of the system in two configurations. The force parameters described both regular and random waves, with and without currents, and their values were input to the model. Mooring tension calculations were conducted on the mooring lines, grid lines and lower bridle lines of the cage. The stability of the mooring lines was checked under both static and dynamic conditions.

These days, spinal interbody arthrodesis using fusion cage is very popular. The cage used for the spinal interbody arthrodesis is mainly inserted from the posterior of the spine. Accordingly, there could possibly occur damages at posterior and results in instability of structure. Moreover, one or two cages are inserted depending on the patients. In this study, it is attempted to evaluate the stability quantitatively by comparing two cases where one and two cages are inserted. For this purpose, a very fine 3-dimensional finite element model of vertebra is generated from the MRI data. From this vertebra model, two models are made: one with one cage and the other with two cages. Finally, finite element analys is performed for these two models and both of the mechanical behaviors are examined In addition, the effect on the stability is evaluated and compared quantitatively.

척추체간 유합케이지의 성능평가에 있어서 압축강도와 상대적인 3차원적 안정성 그리고 골유도를 촉진시킬 수 있는 형상은 성공적인 골유합의 정도를 판가름 할 수 있는 중요한 척도이다. 새로 고안된 박스형 유합케이지 스파이크의 형상변화에 따른 척추체의 골단판에 미치는 응력분포 양상과 케이지의 안정성을 비교하기 위하여 압축하중 작용 초기에 스파이크 끝딘과 골단판이 접촉하는 경우와 스파이크가 골단판에 삽입되었을 경우를 구분하여 스파이크의 높이, 폭 및 각도를 변화시켜 가면서 유한요소 해석을 실시하여 고찰하였다. 유합케이지 2개가 척추체간에 삽입되어 있는 상태에서 수직하중 1700N이 가해질 때 척추체 골단판에 전달되는 응력분포를 조사하였으며, 전, 후방향으로 케이지 하나에 100N의 pull out하중을 부과하여 케이지의 스파이크 형상변화에 따른 미세이동 정도를 비교 평가하였다. 그 결과, 척추체 골단판의 응력 집중 정도에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요인은 케이지스파이크 끝단 폭의 크기이며, 케이지 스파이크의 높이 및 각도의 변화는 스파이크 끝단과 접촉하는 척추체 골단판에 미치는 응력 정도에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았다. 스파이크 경사면 각도조절 및 양방향혼합형의 대칭 배열을 통하여 전후방향 pull-out하중에 대한 변위량을 저감시킬 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과를 통하여 척추체에서의 응력집중을 피할 수 있고 케이지의 초기 접촉시 골단판의 파괴를 방지하고 골유합에 유리한 케이지 스파이크 형상을 설계하였고, 케이지 치환술 후 운동시 전후방향으로 이동을 최소화하여 기계적 안정성을 높일 수 있는 새로운 척추체간 유합 케이지의 최적 형상을 제안하였다.

The sea cage in marine aquaculture might be varied such as on the stability and shape in the open sea by environmental factors. To evaluate the stability of net cage structures in the open sea, the physical and numerical modeling techniques were applied and compared with field observations. This study was carried out to analyse the stability and the volume loss which would have an effect on the fish swimming behavior in the octagonal pillar type fish cage under the open sea. As a results, the volume loss ratio of the fish cage as measured using a depth sensor was indicated a value of the 30.3% under the current velocity (1.1m/s). The fish cage should be consisted of a concrete block with a weight over 10 tons, a mooring rope diameter over 28mm PP, and a shackle of 25mm under the current speed of 1m/sec for reasonable stability.

The Spinal cage is the cage-shaped implantable medical device used to treat structural abnormalities caused by degenerative intervertebral disks. In order to secure enough space to provide the mechanical stability and the intervertebral fusion, after removing the intervertebral disc, the Spinal cage is transplanted between the intervertebral space. A hammer is used to push the spinal cage into a narrow space during the spinal cage transplant surgery. Due to the impact and pressure, damage occurs frequently on the spinal cage. In this study, a test model is constructed to measure the value of impulse generally applied on the Spinal cage. The figures of internal impulse before and after the improvement of the Spinal cage are then compared to suggest direction to improve the reliability of the spinal cage.

Objective : Vertebral body replacement following corpectomy in thoracic or lumbar spine is performed with titanium mesh cage (TMC) containing any grafts. Radiological changes often occur on follow-up. This study investigated the relationship between the radiological stability and clinical symptoms. Methods : The subjects of this study were 28 patients who underwent corpectomy on the thoracic or lumbar spine. Their medical records and radiological data were retrospectively analyzed. There were 23 cases of tumor, 2 cases of trauma, and 3 cases of infection. During operation, spinal reconstruction was done with TMC and additional screw fixation. We measured TMC settlement in sagittal plane and spinal angular change in coronal and sagittal plane at postoperative one month and last follow-up. Pain score was also checked. We investigated the correlation between radiologic change and pain status. Whether factors, such as the kind of graft material, surgical approach, and fusion can affect the radiological stability or not was analyzed as well. Results : Mean follow-up was 23.6 months. During follow-up, $2.08{\pm}1.65^{\circ}$ and $6.96{\pm}2.08^{\circ}$ of angular change was observed in coronal and sagittal plane, respectively. A mean of cage settlement was $4.02{\pm}2.83mm$. Pain aggravation was observed in 4 cases. However, no significant relationship was found between spinal angular change and pain status (p=0.518, 0.458). Cage settlement was seen not to be related with pain status, either (p=0.644). No factors were found to affect the radiological stability. Conclusion : TMC settlement and spinal angular change were often observed in reconstructed spine. However, these changes did not always cause postoperative axial pain.

Complete vertebral tumor resection is important in order to prevent local recurrence. Among the available techniques for total spondylectomy, the total en bloc spondylectomy has been accepted as the most sophisticated one. After a total en bloc spondylectomy, anterior and posterior column reconstruction is mandatory in order to achieve stability. We experienced the usefulness of an expandable cage for anterior column reconstruction especially in this surgery. The chance of cutting the nerve root and damaging the spinal cord is minimized because the size of the expandable cage is initially small enough to be inserted into the anterior column. The technical details of total vertebral body replacement with an expandable cage after an en bloc lumbar spondylectomy are described herein.
