PURPOSE. This study was accomplished to assess the biomechanical state of different retaining methods of bar implant-overdenture. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Two 3D finite element models were designed. The first model included implant overdenture retained by Hader-clip attachment, while the second model included two extracoronal resilient attachment (ERA) studs added distally to Hader splint bar. A non-linear frictional contact type was assumed between overdentures and mucosa to represent sliding and rotational movements among different attachment components. A 200 N was applied at the molar region unilaterally and perpendicular to the occlusal plane. Additionally, the mandible was restrained at their ramus ends. The maximum equivalent stress and strain (von Mises) were recorded and analyzed at the bone-implant interface level. RESULTS. The values of von Mises stress and strain of the first model at bone-implant interface were higher than their counterparts of the second model. Stress concentration and high value of strain were recognized surrounding implant of the unloaded side in both models. CONCLUSION. There were different patterns of stress-strain distribution at bone-implant interface between the studied attachment designs. Hader bar-clip attachment showed better biomechanical behavior than adding ERA studs distal to hader bar.

멤브레인(membrane) LNG 운반선 화물창(cargo containment)의 공사 작업대인 비계 시스템(scaffolding system)은 다양한 형상의 부재들로 구성된 대형 트러스 구조물이다. 비계 시스템의 설치 기간 및 공정을 단축하기 위해서는 모듈의 탑재 단위를 기존의 2단에서 8단으로 대형화하는 것이 매우 효과적이다. 모듈이 대형화하여 탑재 하중이 증가하면 메인 수직 파이프를 연결해주는 핀(pin)과 홀(hole) 주위의 국부 응력 증가가 예상되므로 구조안전성을 확보하기 위한 사전 평가가 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 인장강도 시험을 통해 파손 취약 부위를 확인하고 이에 대한 구조 안전성을 정량적으로 검토하기 위해 접촉 응력 해석을 수행하였다. 인장강도 시험을 통해 최상부의 수직 방향 파이프에 발생하는 평균 하중 부근에서 홀의 변형이 육안으로 관찰되었으며, 홀 주위의 응력 크기는 접촉 응력 계산을 통해 확인하였다. 접촉 문제를 Herzian 접촉 응력 관점에서 접근하였고, 핀과 홀을 포함하는 부분의 재료 항복강도와 접촉 응력의 비교를 통해 8단 탑재의 가능성을 검토하였다. 결과로서, 기존 재료의 비계를 이용한 8단 탑재 방안은 부적합함을 확인하였으며, 파손 취약 부위에 대한 정량적 구조평가 결과를 바탕으로 8단 탑재 시의 구조안전성 확보를 위한 방안들을 제시하였다.

Girth gears are applied in the mining, cement, and mineral processing industries and used in various types of horizontal mills, rotary dryers and kilns, and other heavy-gear ring applications. The large ring gears are normally fitted outside mills or kilns to provide the primary rotational drive. Recently, an external pinwheel gear set (e-PGS) was introduced to overcome manufacturing problems associated with girth gears. e-PGS is also suitable for low-speed, heavy-duty mechanical transmission and dusty and poor-lubrication conditions. This paper first presents a new profile modification of root relief for the e-PGS cam pinion. We then investigate load-stress factors to estimate the surface fatigue life by varying the shape design parameters. The results show that the contact fatigue life of an e-PGS can be extended significantly by increasing the profile shift coefficient. However, support bearing life of the pinwheel depends more on the contact force distribution than the profile shift coefficient.

In this paper, the influence of the polled direction of piezoelectric materials on the stress distribution is studied under time-harmonic dynamical load (time-harmonic Lamb's problem). The system considered in this study consists of piezoelectric covering layer and piezoelectric half-plane, and the harmonic dynamical load acts on the free face of the covering layer. The investigations are carried out by utilizing the exact equations of motion and relations of the linear theory of electro-elasticity. The plane-strain state is considered. It is assumed that the perfect contact conditions between the covering layer and half-plane are satisfied. The boundary value problems under consideration are solved by employing Fourier exponential transformation techniques with respect to coordinates directed along the interface line. Numerical results on the influence of the polled direction of the piezoelectric materials such as PZT-5A, PZT-5H, PZT-4 and PZT-7A on the normal stresses, shear stresses and electric potential acting on the interface plane are presented and discussed. As a result of the analyses, it is established that the polled directions of the piezoelectric materials play an important role on the values of the studied stresses and electric potential.

본 연구에서는 사질토의 탄성 및 탄소성 거동을 모사하기 위한 미시역학 기반의 구성 모델을 개발하였다. 개발 모델은 접촉 방향의 공간 분포를 통계적으로 처리한 조직 이방성, 응력비에 따른 조직 이방성의 변화, 간극비 변화에 따른 접촉점 수의 변화, 그리고 미시적 탄성-탄소성 접촉 강성을 고려하였다. 금속 재료에 대한 시험결과를 이용하여 미시적 탄소성 접촉 강성 모델을 수직 접촉력과 입자의 항복 접촉력에 대한 거듭제곱 함수의 형태로 유도하였다. 모델 변수를 정량적으로 평가하기 위해 직교 이방 탄성 계수의 근사식을 유도하였다.

본 연구에서는 압전 특성과 표면전위계를 이용한 응력측정 방법을 제안하였다. 다시 말하면 이 응력측정방법은 압전소자에서 발생한 전위를 표면전위계로 측정하게 하는 방법으로서, 이 표면전위는 구조물 부재의 변형률에 비례한다는 특성을 이용하여, 구조물 부재의 각 위치에서의 발생하는 응력을 변형률로부터 계산할 수 있게 된다. 또한, 구조물 부재의 응력분포를 보다 간편하게 구하기 위해서 비접촉 측정법을 이용한 응력분포 측정 Tape를 제작하였다. 특히, 이 Tape는 균열이나 홈과 같이 이상응력 발생 가능한 위치에서의 ${\sigma}_x$, ${\sigma}_y$, ${\tau}_{xy}$의 응력을 측정 뿐만 아니라 국부 응력해석에 활용되었고 그 적용성을 검토하기 위해서 홈이 있는 실험편에 대해서 반복하중 시험결과와 FEM 해석의 결과와 비교 분석하였다.

The shear spinning process, where the plastic deformation zone is localized in a very small portion of the workpiece, shows a promise for increasingly broader application to the production of axially symmetric parts. In this paper, the three components of the working force are calculated by a newly proposed deformation model in which the spinning process is understood as shearing deformation after uniaxial yielding by bending, and shear stress, $\tau_{rz}$, becomes k, yield limit in pure shear, in the deformation zone. The tangential force are first calculated and the feed force and the normal force are obtained by the assumption of uniform distribution of roller pressure on the contact surface. The optimum contact area is obtained by minimizing the bending energy required to get the assumed deformation of the blank. The calculated forces are compared with experimental results. A comparison shows that theoretical prediction is reasonably in good agreement with experimental results

The purpose of this research is to develope a FEM program for analyzing solidification processes of axisymmetric casting, considering phase changes and the contact between the metal and mold. Tempera- ture recovery method is employed fro considering the phase changes releasing the latent heat and the coin- cident node method is used for calculating the amount of heat transfer between the metal and mold. Tan- gent modulus algorithm is adopted for calculating flow stress and a gap element is employed for modeling the interface between the mold and metal in finding deformed shapes. In order to verify the developed program, axisymmetric aluminum and steel casting processes are simulated. Temperature distribution, phase front position, and shrinkage and porosity creation are compared with measurements, FIDAP results, and good agreements are examined.

The brake force of drum brakes for commercial vehicles is applied by a s-cam. First of all the influence of the s-cam load angles and elastic modulus of the pad on the contact pressure distribution between pad and drum was checked by using 3 dimensional finite element model. In the second part, temperature and thermal stress analyses were carried out by an axisymmetric model with constant heat flux and pressure-proportional heat flux. In the case of temperature analysis the heat conduction from the interface to the pad and the drum was modeled using a thin soft film element, so artificial division of the generated heat flux between pad and drum is not necessary. The analysis was performed by ABAQUS/Standard code.

The shear spinning process, where the plastic deformation zone is localized in a very small portion of the workpiece, shows a promise for increasingly broader application to the production of axially symmetric parts. In this paper, the three components of working force are calculated by the newly proposed deformation model in which the spinning process is understood as shearing deformation after uniaxial yielding by bending, and shear stress, $\tau_{rz}$ becomes $\kappa$, yield limit in pure shear, in the deformation zone. The tangential forces are first calculated and the feed forces and the normal forces are obtained by the assumption of uniform distribution of roller pressure on the contact surface. The optimum contact area is obtained by minimizing the bending energy required to get the assumed deformation of the blank. The calculated forces are compared with experimental results. A comparison shows that theoretical prediction is reasonably in good agreement with experimental results.
