Purpose : This study was to assess the loading distributing characteristics of implant systems with internal connection or external connection under vertical and inclined loading using finite element analysis. Materials and methods : Two finite element models were designed according to type of internal connection or external connection The crown for mandibular first molar was made using cemented abutment. Each three-dimensional finite element model was created with the physical properties of the implant and surrounding bone This study simulated loads of 200N at the central fossa in a vertical direction (loading condition A), 200N at the centric cusp tip in a 15$^{\circ}$ inward inclined direction (loading condition B), or 200N at the centric cusp tip in a 30$^{\circ}$ outward inclined direction (loading condition C) respectively. Von Mises stresses were recorded and compared in the supporting bone, fixture, abutment and abutment screw. Results : 1. In comparison with the whole stress or the model 1 and model 2, the stress pattern was shown through th contact of the abutment and the implant fixture in the model 1, while the stress pattern was shown through the abutment screw mainly in the model 2. 2. Without regard to the loading condition, greater stress was taken at the cortical bone, and lower stress was taken at the cancellous bone. The stress taken at the cortical bone was greater at the model 1 than at the model 2, but the stress taken at the cortical bone was much less than the stress taken at the abutment, the implant fixture, and the abutment screw in case of both model 1 and model 2. 3. Without regard to the loading condition, the stress pattern of the abutment was greater at the model 1 than at the model 2. 4. In comparison with the stress distribution of model 1 and model 2, the maximum stress was taken at the abutment in the model 1. while the maximum stress was taken at the abutment screw in the model 2. 5. The magnitude of the maximum stress taken at the supporting bone, the implant fixture, the abutment, and the abutment screw was greater in the order of loading condition A, B and C. Conclusion : The stress distribution pattern of the internal connection system was mostly distributed widely to the lower part along the inner surface of the implant fixture contacting the abutment core through its contact portion because of the intimate contact of the abutment and the implant fixture and so the less stress was taken at the abutment screw, while the abutment screw can be the weakest portion clinically because the greater stress was taken at the abutment screw in case of the external connection system, and therefore the further clinical study about this problem is needed.

A simple computational model for modeling of subsurface crack growth under cyclic contact loading is presented. In this model, it is assumed that the initial fatigue crack will initiate in the region of the maximum equivalent stress at certain depth under the contacting surface. The position and magnitude of the maximum equivalent stress are determined by using the equivalent contact model, which is based on the Hertzian contact conditions with frictional forces. The virtual crack extension method is used for simulation of the fatigue crack growth from the initial crack up to the formation of the surface pit due to contact fatigue. The relationships between the stress intensity factor and crack length are then determined for various combinations of equivalent contact radii and loadings.

강박스거더의 바닥틀은 바닥강판, 종방향 리브 및 횡방향 리브로 구성된다. 강바닥판 교량은 용접 접합부의 개소가 많고 중차량 접지하중과 반복응력의 증가에 의해 피로손상의 발생 가능성이 매우 높다. 일반적으로 강바닥판의 피로균열은 중차량 트럭하중의 반복적인 재하하중으로 인한 국부응력에 의하여 발생한다. 또한 중차량 통행량의 증가 및 통행차량의 대형화는 피로균열 발생 가능성을 촉진한다. 따라서 교량에 영향을 미치는 실제 통행 차량하중의 하중재하 패턴을 고려한 하중 접지면적에 따른 교량의 거동을 정확히 평가하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구는 강바닥판 교량에서 통행 차량의 접지면적과 하중재하 효과를 고려하여 설계하중에 의한 접지면적과 실제 통행 차량의 접지면적을 유한요소해석을 통하여 비교 평가하였다. 유한요소해석은 강바닥판 교량의 4가지 하중 재하패턴에 대하여 수행하였다, 또한 해석은 다이아프램의 설치 유무에 따른 통행트럭의 접지면적 영향을 비교 평가하였다. 유한요소해석 결과, 실제 싱글타이어의 하중재하면적이 설계하중의 접지면적보다 보다 큰 국부응력을 보였고, 바닥강판은 전륜하중인 싱글타이어 재하에 의해 가장 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 다이아프램의 설치 유무는 탄성영역에서 다이아프램 설치가 강바닥판 가로리브와 세로리브 교차부의 피로저항에 대한 구조성능 개선에는 효과가 없는 것으로 나타났다.

To enhance our understanding of the loads on the foot during treadmill running, we have used a pressure-sensitive insole system to determine pressure, rate of loading and impulse distributions on the plantar surface during treadmill running, both in minimally cushioned footwear and in cushioned shoes. This report includes pressure, rate of loading, impulse and contact time data from a study of ten subjects running on a treadmill at 4.0m/s. Among heel-toe runners, the highest peak pressures and highest rates of loading were observed under the centre of the heel and in the medial forefoot. The arch regions were only lightly loaded. Contact time was greater in the forefoot than in the heel. Two-thirds of the impulse recorded during the step was the result of forces applied through the forefoot, mostly in the region of the metatarsal heads. The distribution of loads in the shoe suggests that the load distributing properties of the cushioning system are most important in the centre of the heel, under the metatarsal heads and great toe. Shock attenuation is primarily required under the centre of the heel and to lesser extent under the metatarsal heads. Some energy dissipation may be desirable in the heel region because it causes shock to be absorbed with less force. All the 'propulsive' effort is applied through the forefoot. Therefore, this region should as resilient as possible.

Recently, a load/unload(L/UL) system is adopted to the hard disk drive(HDD) due to its advantages such as lower power consumption, larger data zone, simpler fabrication of disk due to no bumped parking zone, and rarer contact between slider and media. An analysis of the transient motion for the slider is very important to design an air bearing surface(ABS) of the slider to secure the stable performance of the system. During the L/UL process, however, there are several issues occurred such as contact or collision between slider and media. Sometimes this will cause the system failure. In this study, the dynamics of a pico slider during the loading process are investigated through numerical simulation using FEM analysis and experiment. Ramp profile and angular velocity of the swing arm actuator are very important parameters for the design of L/UL system to avoid collision between slider and disk.

The Finite Element (FE) modeling of Reinforced Concrete (RC) under seismic loading has a sensitive impact in terms of getting good contribution compared to experimental results. Several idealized model types for simulating the nonlinear response have been developed based on the plasticity distribution alone the model. The Continuum Models are the most used category of modeling, to understand the seismic behavior of structural elements in terms of their components, cracking patterns, hysteretic response, and failure mechanisms. However, the material modeling, contact and nonlinear analysis strategy are highly complex due to the joint operation of concrete and steel. This paper presents a numerical simulation of a chosen RC column under monotonic and cyclic loading using the FE Abaqus, to assessthe hysteretic response and failure mechanisms in the RC columns, where the perfect bonding option is used for the contact between concrete and steel. While results of the numerical study under cyclic loading compared to experimental tests might be unsuccessful due to the lack of bond-slip modeling. The monotonic loading shows a good estimation of the envelope response and deformation components. In addition, this work further demonstrates the advantage and efficiency of the damage distributions since the obtained damage distributions fit the expected results.

본 논문에서는 특성길이 방법과 실험을 통하여 핀하중을 받는 평직 유리/에폭시 적층판 체결부의 강도를 평가하였다. 특성길이 및 강도에 영향을 미치는 인자들의 효과를 연구하기 위해, 핀과 원공이 접하는 부분에 코사인 하중을 가할 경우와, 적절한 변위경계조건으로 처리할 경우, 접촉요소를 사용하여 비선형 해석을 수행하는 경우 등 총 세가지 방법으로 특성길이 및 강도를 계산하였다. 또한 체결부의 강도는 사용하는 파손식의 영향을 받게 되므로 Tsai-Wu 파손식과 Yamada-Sun 파손식을 사용하여 결과를 비교하였다. 평직으로 이루어진 적층판과 일방향 프리프레그로 이루어진 적층판 모두에서 접촉요소를 사용한 비선형 해석이 시험과 가장 일치하는 결과를 나타내었다. 일방향 프리프레그만을 사용한 적픙판 체결부에서와 달리 모든 층이 평직으로 이루어진 유리/에폭시 채결부의 경우 Tsai-Wu 파손식을 사용한 결과가 실험값과 더 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었다.

When multiple robotics systems with several sub-chains grasp a common object, the inherent force redundancy provides a chance of utilizing internal loading. Analysis of grasping space based internal loading is proposed in this work since this method facilitates understanding the physical meaning of internal loadings in some applications, as compared to usual operational space based approach. Investigation of the internal loading for a triple manipulator has been few as ,compared to a dual manipulator. In this paper, types of the internal loading for dual and triple manipulator systems are investigated by using the reduced row echelon method to analyze the null space of those systems. No internal loading condition is derived and several load distribution schemes are compared through simulation. Furthermore, it is shown that the proposed scheme based on grasping space is applicable to analysis of special cases such as three-fingered and three-legged robots having a point contact with the grasped object or ground.

게코 접착 시스템은 보(beam)의 형상을 가지는 seta와 접착패드 역할을 하는 spatula로 구성된다. 본 논문에서는 보 접착 모델(ahhesive beam contact model)을 사용하여 게코(gecko) 접착 시스템의 접착 메커니즘의 해석을 수행한다. 보 접착 모델은 접촉면에서 불균일한 응력 분포를 가지는 특징이 있으며, 접촉면에서의 최대 인장 응력(tensile stress)에 의하여 접착/분리 메커니즘이 결정된다. 접착패드 역할을 하는 spatula는 최대 인장응력을 감소시키는 역할을 하며, 이로 인해 접착력이 증가한다. 역방향 하중에 대해서는 spatula에 의하여 최대 압축 응력(compressive stress)이 감소하며, 이러한 현상에 의하여 접착력과 분리력의 비대칭성이 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 보 접착 모델의 해석을 위해 유한요소법(Finite Element Method)을 사용되며, spatula effect를 위한 해석 결과가 제시된다.

The purpose of this study was to assess the loading distributing characteristics of implant prosthesis according to position and direction of load, under vertical and inclined loading using FEA analysis. The finite element model was designed according to standard fixture (4.1mm restorative component x 11.5mm length). The crown for mandibular first molar was made using UCLA abutment. Each three-dimensional finite element model was created with the physical properties of the implant and surrounding bone. This study simulated loads of 200N at the central fossa in a vertical direction (loading condition A), 200N at the outside point of the central fossa with resin filling into screw hole in a vertical direction (loading condition B), 200N at the centric usp in a $15^{\circ}$ inward oblique direction (loading condition C), 200N at the in a $30^{\circ}$ inward oblique direction (loading condition D) or 200N at the centric cusp in a $30^{\circ}$ outward oblique direction (loading condition E) individually. Von Mises stresses were recorded and compared in the supporting bone, fixture, and abutment screw. The following results have been made based on this study: 1. Stresses were concentrated mainly at the ridge crest around implant in both vertical and oblique loading but stresses in the cancellous bone were low in both vertical and oblique loading. 2. Bending moments resulting from non-axial loading of dental implants caused stress concentrations on cortical bone. The magnitude of the stress was greater with the oblique loading than with the vertical loading. 3. An offset of the vertical occlusal force in the buccolingual direction relative to the implant axis gave rise to increased bending of the implant. 4. The relative positions of the resultant line of force from occlusal contact and the center of rotation seems to be more important. 5. The magnitude of the stress in the supporting bone, fixture and abutment screw was greater with the outward oblique loading than with the inward oblique loading and was the greatest under loading at the centric cusp in a $30^{\circ}$ outward oblique direction. Conclusively, this study provides evidence that bending moments resulting from non-axial loading of dental implants caused stress concentrations on cortical bone. But it seems to be more important that how long is the distance from center of rotation of the implant itself to the resultant line of force from occlusal contact(leverage). The goal of improving implants should be to avoid bending of the implant.
