When restoring a tooth, the dentist tries to choose the ideal material for existing situation. One criterion that is considered is its suitability for restoring coronal strength. As more tooth structure is removed, the cusps are weakened and susceptible to fracture. Further, this increased deformation may cause the formation of intermittent gaps at the margin between the hard tissue and the restoration, facilitating marginal leakage. The improvements in ceramic materials now make it possible for alternatives to amalgams, composites, and cast metal to be of offered for posterior teeth. Of the materials used, ceramics most closely approximates the properties of enamel. The introduction of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacture(CAD/CAM) systems to restorative dentistry represents a major technological breakthrough. It is possible to design and fabricate ceramic restorations at a single appointment. Additionally, CAD/CAM systems eliminate certain errors and inaccuracies that are inherent to the indirect method and provide an esthetic restoration. The aim of this investigation was to study the loading characteristics of CAD/CAM ceramic inlay and to compare the stress distribution and displacement associated with different designs of cavity(the isthmus width and cavity depth). A human maxillary left first premolar was prepared with standard mesio-occlusal cavity preparation, as recommended by the manufacturer Ceramic inlay was fabricated with CEREC 2 CAD/CIM equipment and cemented into the prepared cavity. Three dimensional model was made by the serial photographic method. The cavity width was varied $\frac{1}{3}$, $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{2}{3}$ of intercuspal distance between buccal and lingual cusp tip. The cavity depth was varied 1.5mm and 2.3mm. So six models were constructed to simulate six conditions. A point load of 500N was applied vertically onto the first node of the lingual slope from the buccal cusp tip. The stress distribution and displacement were solved using ANSYS finite element program(Swanson Analysis System). (omitted)

연료의 경제성을 증가시키는 것이 신차 개발에 필수불가결한 이슈가 되고 있으며 연료 경제성을 개선하기 위한 가장 중요한 문제는 차량 무게를 감소시키는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 연료 경제성을 증가시키기 위하여 알루미늄 합금 소재와 같은 경량 소재를 사용하여 무게를 감량시키는 것에 관한 연구를 진행하였다. 이를 위하여 너클(knuckle)의 경량화 설계과정을 주철 소재인 기존 재질 대신에 310 MPa 급의 알루미늄 6061-T6 합금으로 대체함으로써 설계 형상의 변경에 따라 von-Mises stress의 변화를 살펴보는 방법을 통하여 제시하고자 한다. 재료의 변화에 따른 너클 동강성 해석결과를 비교하였으며 FCD600 주철 소재 대비 6061 알루미늄 합금으로 설계된 너클의 동강성은 약 30% 내외 더 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 보통 동강성의 경우 진동에도 영향을 주기 때문에 동강성이 큰 경우 진동적으로도 우수한 경향을 나타낸다. 본 연구를 통하여 경량화 설계에 대한 가이드가 되는 성과를 얻을 수 있었으며 차량용 너클 개발을 위한 최적 설계 조건을 제시하는 데 기여하고자 한다.

Characterization of mutant mice has been utilized as an animal model for the study of human inherited diseases. In addition to the pathogenesis stduy using the mutant mice, the mice have been used for the identification of the genes causing the phenotypes. Functional cloning and positional cloning are two approaches, depending on the phenotypes of the mutant mice. Though it takes a long time positional cloning has been well used to identify the gene of which function can not be presumed from the mouse phenotype. Recently by the advance of the molecular tools and the human genome project close to 10,000 genetic markers are developed to make the procedure faster. We obtained a new mutant mouse, sims, spontaneously arose and the affected mouse has a mild tremor and seizure was observed. Homozygote in either sex is sterile since uterus growth in female and seminal vesicle in male are not induced for the growth in puberty, implying the abnormal hormonal regulation during puberty. Supporting this, there is no detectable testosterone in the serum of the mutant male and the brain of the mutant is 30% heavier than littermate. To identify the location of the mutated gene, intraspecies cross to CAST/Ei was carried out and the 37 affected mice was analyzed for the linkage. The gene was mapped on chromosome 18, 20 cM from the centromere. More than 500 F2 progenies have been analyzed for the linkage and the locus becomes narrow within 3cM between Egrl and Fgf gene.f gene.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the accuracy of digitally designed removable partial denture (RPD) frameworks, constructed by additive and subtractive methods castable resin patterns, using comparative 3D analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A Kennedy class III mod. 1 educational maxillary model was used in this study. The cast was scanned after modification, and a removable partial denture framework was digitally designed. Twelve frameworks were constructed. Two groups were defined: Group A: six frameworks were milled with castable resin, then casted by the lost wax technique into Co-Cr frameworks; Group B: six frameworks were printed with castable resin, then casted by the lost wax technique into Co-Cr frameworks. Comparative 3D analysis was used to measure the accuracy of the fabricated frameworks using Geomagic Control X software. Student's t-test was used for comparing data. P value ≤ .05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS. Regarding the accuracy of the occlusal rests, group A (milled) (0.1417 ± 0.0224) showed significantly higher accuracy than group B (printed) (0.02347 ± 0.0221). The same results were found regarding the 3D comparison of the overall accuracy, in which group A (0.1501 ± 0.0205) was significantly more accurate than group B (0.179 ± 0.0137). CONCLUSION. In indirect fabrication techniques, subtractive manufacturing yields more accurate RPDs than additive manufacturing.

테이퍼말뚝의 연직거동은 지반의 응력상태와 내부마찰각, 말뚝의 벽면마찰각, 말뚝의 테이퍼 각도에 영향을 받는다. 본 논문에서는 테이퍼 각도가 말뚝의 연직거동에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해서 가압토조를 이용한 모형말뚝시험을 실시하였다. 시험결과에 따르면 말뚝의 테이퍼 각도가 커질수록 주면마찰력은 커지고 선단지지력은 감소하였으나, 단위 선단지지력의 경우 보통 상대밀도의 지반에서는 말뚝의 테이퍼 각도에 비례해서 증가하였으나 조밀한 지반에서는 테이퍼 각도에 따라 감소하였다. 그리고 말뚝의 전체지지력에 대한 주면마찰력의 비율은 테이퍼 각도가 커짐에 따라 그리고 지반의 상대밀도가 작아짐에 따라 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 말뚝의 단위 체적당 전체지지력은 지반이 느슨할 때는 테이퍼 각도에 따라 증가했지만 조밀한 지반에서는 테이퍼 각도에 따라 감소하였다. 따라서 테이퍼말뚝은 조밀한 지반보다는 느슨한 지반에서 더 경제성이 있는 것으로 나타났다.

In order to study the anti-seismic performance of full light-weight concrete utility tunnel, EL Centro seismic waves were input, and the seismic simulation shaking table test was carried out on the four utility tunnel models. The dynamic characteristics and acceleration response of the system consisting of the utility tunnel structure and the soil, and the interlayer displacement response of the structure were analyzed. The influence law of different construction methods, haunch heights and concrete types on the dynamic response of the utility tunnel structure was studied. And the experimental results were compared with the finite element calculation results. The results indicated that with the increase of seismic wave intensity, the natural frequency of the utility tunnel structure system decreased and the damping ratio increased. The assembling composite construction method could be equivalent to replace the integral cast-in-place construction method. The haunch height of the assembling composite full light-weight concrete utility tunnel was increased from 30 mm to 50 mm to enhance the anti-seismic performance during large earthquakes. The anti-seismic performance of the full light-weight concrete utility tunnel was better than that of the ordinary concrete utility tunnel. The peak acceleration of the structure was reduced by 21.8% and the interlayer displacement was reduced by 45.8% by using full light-weight concrete. The finite element simulation results were in good agreement with the experimental results, which could provide reference for practical engineering design and application.

본 연구에서는 기존 C.I.P 공법의 개선사항을 보완하여 벽체 강성 및 차수성을 증진시킨 개량형 C.I.P 공법을 개발하고 이에 대한 현장 적용성을 검토하였다. 개량형 C.I.P 공법의 특징은 원형케이싱의 내부 양쪽에 삼각형 형태의 조인트를 설치하여 연직연속천공을 위한 가이드로 이용하고 연속천공 이후에는 조인트와 조인트를 소형 H형강으로 연결하여 개별말뚝들이 연결된 벽체를 형성함과 동시에 H형강 외의 내부는 그라우팅으로 충진되어 벽체 전체가 차수성을 확보하도록 고안된 점이다. 이러한 특성에 대한 현장 적용성을 검토하기 위해 모형 토조실험을 수행하여 차수성을 검토하였으며 벽체 강성의 증진에 대한 사항은 케이싱의 두께를 2mm와 3mm로 변화를 둔 실물크기의 시험체를 대상으로 강도실험과 수치해석이 병행되었다. 수치해석의 경우, 강도실험에 대한 시뮬레이션을 통해 사용프로그램의 타당성을 우선 검토한 후, 케이싱의 두께 변화에 따른 영향을 비교분석하였다. 연구결과, 차수성 시험은 정수압 300KPa의 가압상태에서도 이음부의 누수가 발생하지 않았다. 휨강도 실험결과, 개량형 흙막이 벽체의 강성이 기존 C.I.P 벽체의 강성보다 4배 정도 큰 것으로 나타났으며 압축강도 또한 콘크리트의 압축강도보다 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과로부터 제안된 개량형 C.I.P 공법은 기존의 C.I.P 공법의 차수공정의 생략뿐만 아니라, 연결부 차수성 확보, 연직연속천공, 그리고 상대적으로 우수한 강성등의 장점을 보유한 것으로 나타나 향후 주열식 흙막이 시공에 일조할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The aim of treatment of cleft lip and palate is to correct the cleft and associated problems surgically and thus hide the anomaly so that patients can lead normal lives. This correction involves surgically producing a face that does not attract attention, a vocal apparatus that permits intelligible speech, and a dentition that allows optimal function and esthetics. In neonatal periods, gross distortion of tissues surrounding the cleft requires considerable effort and time due to post operative functional defect and scarring and induces milk feeding problem, malocclusion of deciduous or permanent dentition, congenital missing teeth, skeletal dysplasia. The occurrence of a cleft deformity is a source of considerable shock to the parents of an afflicted baby, and the most appropriate approach is very important things. Thus we tried to analysis of dental arch, shape and size of deformity in cleft patients. The results were obtained as follows. 1. When the cast measurements of UCLP subjects at first visit it was found that the mean length was 9.29mm at the alveolar cleft width, also that was 11.7mm at the anterior width and 14mm at the posterior cleft width. 2. Comparison of UCLP group at first visit and just lip surgery, it was found that the older group showed a insignificant reduction in the width of the cleft in the alveolar, canine, and tuberosity regions. 3. The maxillary casts of the UCLP group at 6 months differ Significantly from those of the at 3 months in both length and width. but there was no statistical difference except anterior ridge length of nonclefted site. 4. Comparison at 6 months and 18 months, there was a greater change in length of the alveolar cleft width, intercanine width, and anterior cleft width. Maxillary arch became wider at both the canine region and intertuberosity region. also posterior anteroposterior length was increased but anterior AP length was decreased from 8.1mm to 7.7mm. There was meaningful increase at intertuberosity length; however, a significant reduction in width t-t'

This paper presents investigation into the behavior of beam-column joints, with the joint region concrete being replaced by steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) and by ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). A total of ten beam-column joint specimens (BCJ) were tested experimentally to failure under monotonic and cyclic loading, with the beam section being subjected to flexural loading and the column to combined flexural and axial loading. The joint region essentially transferred shear and axial stresses as received from the column. Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) and ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) were used as an innovative construction and/or strengthening scheme for some of the BCJ specimens. The reinforced concrete specimens were reinforced with longitudinal steel rebar, 18 mm, and some specimens were reinforced with an additional two ties in the joint region. The results showed that using SFRC and UHPC as a replacement concrete for the BCJ improved the joint shear strength and the load carrying capacity of the hybrid specimens. The mode of failure was also converted from a non-desirable joint shear failure to a preferred beam flexural failure. The effect of the ties in the SFRC and UHPC joint regions could not be observed due to the beam flexural failure. Several models were used in estimating the joint shear strength for different BCJ specimens. The results showed that the existing models yielded wide-ranging values. A new concept to take into account the influence of column axial load on the shear strength of beam-column joints is also presented, which demonstrates that the recommended values for concrete tensile strength for determination of joint shear strength need to be amended for joints subject to moderate to high axial loads. Furthermore, finite element model (FEM) simulation to predict the behaviour of the hybrid BCJ specimens was also carried out in an ABAQUS environment. The result of the FEM modelling showed good agreement with experimental results.
