Objective : The offset connector can allow medial and lateral variability and facilitate intralaminar screw incorporation into the construct. The aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical characteristics of C7 intralaminar screw constructs with and without offset connector using a three dimensional finite element model of a C6-7 cervical spine segment. Methods : Finite element models representing C7 intralaminar screw constructs with and without the offset connector were developed. Range of motion (ROM) and maximum von Mises stresses in the vertebra for the two techniques were compared under pure moments in flexion, extension, lateral bending and axial rotation. Results : ROM for intralaminar screw construct with offset connector was less than the construct without the offset connector in the three principal directions. The maximum von Misses stress was observed in the C7 vertebra around the pedicle in both constructs. Maximum von Mises stress in the construct without offset connector was found to be 12-30% higher than the corresponding stresses in the construct with offset connector in the three principal directions. Conclusion : This study demonstrated that the intralaminar screw fixation with offset connector is better than the construct without offset connector in terms of biomechanical stability. Construct with the offset connector reduces the ROM of C6-7 segment more significantly compared to the construct without the offset connector and causes lower stresses around the C7 pedicle-vertebral body complex.

The behavior of composite steel-concrete beams depends on the transmission of forces between two parts: the concrete slab and the steel I-beam. The shear connector is responsible for the interaction between these two parts. Recently, an alternative shear connector, called Truss Type connector, has been developed; it aligns efficient structural behavior, fast construction and implementation, and low cost when compared to conventional connectors applied in composite structures. However, there is still a lack of full understanding of the mechanical behavior of the Truss Type connector, due to its novelty. Thus, this study aims to analyze the influence of variation of geometric and physical parameters on the shear resistance of the Truss Type connector. In order to investigate those parameters, a non-linear finite element model, able to simulate push-out tests of Truss Type connectors, was specifically developed and validated with experimental results. A thorough parametric study, varying the height, the angle between rods, the diameter, and the concrete strength, was conducted to evaluate the shear resistance of the Truss Type connector. In addition, an equation to predict the resistance of the original Truss Type shear connector was proposed.

Statement of problem: Injuries along with discomfort may result on the oral mucosa when non-rigid material is used as the major connector in construction of RPD, since nonrigid major connectors transmit unstable forces throughout the appliance. Titanium which recently draws attention as a substitute of Co-Cr had a difficulty in fabricating due to high melting temperature but the development of casting technique makes it possible to apply to the clinical case. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the rigidity and the castability of titanium upper major connector by design and make a comparison with Co-Cr major connectors which are widely used in clinical cases now. Material and methods: Casting was done using CP-Ti(Grage 2) (Kobe still Co., Japan) for the experimental groups, and 4 various designs namely palatal strap, U-shaped bar, A-P strap, and complete palatal plate were casted and 5 of each designs were included in each group. For the experimental group, Universal testing machine (Model 4502; Instron, Canton, Mass) was used to apply vertical torsional force vertically to the horizontal plane of major connector. In the second experiment, Vertical compressive force was applied to the horizontal plane of major connector. As a comparative group, Co-Cr major connector was equally manufactured and underwent the same experimental procedures Strain rate was measured after constant loading for one minute duration, and statistical analysis was done with SPSS ver.10.0 for WIN(SPSS. Inc. USA). From the one-way ANOVA and variance analysis (P=0.05), Scheffe's multiple comparison test implemented. Results: 1. Least amount of strain was observed with complete palatal plate followed by A-P bar, palatal bar, and the U-shaped bar having most amount of strain. 2. In all designs of titanium major connector, less strain rate was observed under compressive loading than under torsional loading showing more resistance to lateral force. 3. For titanium major connector, less strain rate was observed when the force is applied to the first premolar area rather than to the second molar area indicating more strength with shorter length of lever. 4. In Comparison of Co-Cr major connector with titanium major connector, palatal strap and U-shaped bar designs showed higher strength under torsional force that is statically significant, and under compressive force, no significant difference was observed expert for U-shaped bar. 5. In titanium major connector, complete palatal plate showed lowest success rate in casting when compared with the Co-Cr major connector. Conclusion: Above results prove that when using titanium for major connector, only with designs capable of generating rigidity can the major connector have almost equal amount of rigidity as Co-Cr major connector and show lower success rate in casting when compared with the Co-Cr major connector.

본 논문에서는 12.5 Gbps의 전송 속도를 갖는 고속 직렬 인터페이스 커넥터(high-speed serial interface connector)의 설계 및 분석 방법을 제안한다. 고속 직렬 인터페이스 커넥터는 다양한 매질로 구성되며, 내부 선로도 복잡한 구조를 가지고 있으므로, 선로의 불연속 부분의 각각을 임피던스 정합하기가 매우 어렵다. 따라서 커넥터의 각 부분을 단순화한 커넥터 라인(connector line)의 구조를 제안하였으며, 이 구조에서 R, L, C, G 파라미터를 추출하고 차동 모드 임피던스를 분석하며, TDT(Time Domain Transmissometry)와 TDR(Time Domain Reflectometry)을 이용하여 임피던스 불연속(impedance discontinuity)을 최소화 하는 방법을 제시한다. 본 논문은 단순화한 커넥터 라인에서 추출된 분석 방법 및 결과를 고속 직렬 인터페이스 커넥터에 적용하였다. 제안한 커넥터는 총 44개의 핀(pin)으로 구성되며, 본 논문에서는 4개의 핀의 폭과 간격을 변경하여 신호 전달 특성을 분석하였다. 분석결과, 접지 핀의 폭이 증가할수록 임피던스는 소폭으로 감소하고, 접지핀과 신호 핀 사이의 간격이 증가할수록 임피던스가 증가했다. 또한, 신호 핀의 폭을 증가시키면 임피던스가 감소하며, 신호 핀과 신호 핀 사이의 간격을 늘리면 임피던스가 증가하였다. 최초 커넥터 임피던스 특성은 $96{\sim}139{\Omega}$ 사이에서 변화되는 값을 나타내었으나, 제안된 커넥터 구조를 적용했을 때 임피던스 특성은 $92.6{\sim}107.5{\Omega}$ 사이의 값으로 나타나, 설계 목표 $100{\Omega}{\pm}10%$를 만족함을 보였다.

Finite element models were constructed to analyze the mechanical behavior of a three unit fixed partial denture (FPD) with a 2nd premolar and 2nd molar abutment either employing a rigid and nonrigid connector. Gap elements were used to model the clearance space of the nonrigid connector. 1. High stress was generated in the FPD and supporting abutment around the rigid connector. 2. The pattern of stress and deflection is very similar between vertically and 20 degree mesially tilted nonrigid connector at the distal aspect of premolar abutment. 3. FPD with an inverted nonrigid connectors exhibited the worst undesirable mechanical stress states and deformations. 4. Nonrigid connector of normal orientation transmit the load to the abutment tooth, but inverted connector doesn't transmit the force.

Generally, in a steel girder and the concrete slab act as a composite structure, the connectors must have adequate strength and stiffness. If there are no horizontal or vertical separations at the interface, the connectors are described as rigid, and complete interaction can be said to exist under these idealized circumstances. In previous study, it was considered that the strength of stud is affected by the stud diameter, height of stud and compressive strength of concrete. The differences between previous study and this study are variables, which are shank diameter of shear connector, the spacing of shear connector, the size of specimen and the row of shear connector. So this paper, as a study on the strength of shear connector with the spacing of shear connector, size of specimen (block-out size), row of shear connector and shank diameter of shear connector resulted from the push-out specimen are conducted with ABAQUS program. It is to investigate the effects of characteristics of these factors. The load-slip relations obtained from the experiments are compared with those of analyses. From these results, the trends of stress are stress estimated and compared with push-out test.
