Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of glide path preparation with PathFile and ProGlider nickel-titanium (NiTi) files on the cyclic fatigue resistance of WaveOne NiTi files. Materials and Methods: Forty-four WaveOne Primary files were used and divided into four groups (n = 11). In the first group (0 WaveOne), the WaveOne Primary files served as a control group and were not used on acrylic blocks. In the 1 WaveOne Group, acrylic blocks were prepared using only WaveOne Primary files, and in the PF+WaveOne group and PG+WaveOne groups, acrylic blocks were first prepared with PathFile or ProGlider NiTi files, respectively, followed by the use of WaveOne Primary files. All the WaveOne Primary files were then subjected to cyclic fatigue testing. The number of cycles to failure was calculated and the data were statistically analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the Tukey honest significant difference multiple-comparison test at a 5% significance level. Results: The highest number of cycles to failure was found in the control group, and the lowest numbers were found in the 1 WaveOne group and the PF+WaveOne group. Significant differences were found among the 1 WaveOne, PF+WaveOne, and control groups (p < 0.05). No statistically significant differences were found between the PG+WaveOne group and the other three groups (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Glide path preparation with NiTi rotary files did not affect the cyclic fatigue resistance of WaveOne Primary files used on acrylic blocks.

The braking hose in the automotive hydraulic braking system exhibits the complicated anisotropic large deformation while its movable end is moving along the cyclic path according to the steering and bump/rebound motions of vehicle. The complicated large deformation may cause not only the interference with other adjacent automotive parts but also the durability problem resulting in the fatal microcraking. In this regard, the design of high-durable braking hose with the interference-free layout becomes a hot issue in the automotive industry. However, since it has been traditionally relied on the cost-/time-consuming trial and error experiments, the cost- and time-effective optimum design method that can replace the experiment is highly desirable. Meanwhile, the hose deformed configuration and fatigue life are different for different hose cyclic paths, so that their characteristic investigation becomes an important preliminary research subject. As a preliminary step for developing the optimum design methodology, we in this study investigate the hose deformed configuration and the fatigue life for four representative hose cyclic paths.

Objectives: It was aimed to compare the cyclic fatigue resistances of ProGlider (PG), One G (OG), and HyFlex EDM (HEDM) nickel titanium glide path files in single- and double-curved artificial canals. Materials and Methods: 40 PG (16/0.02), 40 OG (14/0.03), and 40 HEDM (10/0.05) single-file glide path files were used in the present study. Sixty files were subjected to cyclic fatigue test by using double-curved canals and 60 files by using single-curved canal (n = 20). The number of cycles to fracture (NCF) was calculated and the length of the fractured fragment (FL) was determined by a digital micro-caliper. Twelve pieces of fractured files were examined with scanning electron microscope to determine fracture types of the files (n = 2). The NCF and the FL data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and post hoc Tukey test using SPSS 21 software (p < 0.05). Results: In all of the groups, NCF values were significantly lower in double-curved canals when compared to single-curved canals (p < 0.05). For both of single- and double-curved canals, NCF values of HEDM group in apical and coronal curvatures were found to be significantly higher than NCF values of PG and OG groups (p < 0.05). In both of single- and double-curved canals, NCF value of PG group was found significantly higher than OG group (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study, HEDM glide path files were found to have the highest cyclic fatigue resistance in both of single- and double-curved canals.

In-situ neutron diffraction has been employed to examine the effect of strain path on lattice strain evolution during monotonic and cyclic tension in an extruded Mg-8.5wt.%Al alloy. In the cyclic tension test, the maximum applied stress increased with cycle number. Lattice strain data were acquired for three grain orientations, characterized by the plane normal to the stress axis. The lattice strain in the hard {10.0} orientation, which is unfavorably oriented for both basal slip and {10.2} extension twinning, evolved linearly throughout both tests during loading and unloading. The {00.2} orientation exhibited significant relaxation associated with {10.2} extension twinning. Coupled with a linear lattice strain unloading behavior, this relaxation led to increasingly compressive residual strains in the {00.2} orientation with increasing cycle number. The {10.1} orientation is favorably oriented for basal slip, and thus showed a soft grain behavior. Microyielding occurred in the monotonic tension test and in all cycles of the cyclic test at an applied stress of ~50 MPa, indicating that strain hardening in this orientation was not completely stable from one cycle to the next. The lattice strain unloading behavior was linear in the {10.1} orientation, leading to a compressive residual strain after every cycle, which, however, did not increase systematically from one cycle to the next as in the {00.2} orientation.

본 논문에서는 모래의 비배수 정적전단거동과 반복전단거동의 상호관계를 분석하기 위하여 낙동강 모래를 사용하여 비배수 정적 및 반복삼축시험을 실시하였다. 정적삼축시험은 반복전단거동과의 상호비교를 위하여 인장시험을 포함하여 실시하였다. 그리고 반복삼축시험은 초기정적전단응력$(q_{st})$과 반복응력$(q_{cy})$조건을 조합하여 여러 응력조건 하에서 실시하였다. 시험결과 반복전단거동의 응력경로는 정적전단거동의 한계응력비(CSR)선을 지나면서 유동변형이 발생하여 정적전단거동과 일치하였으며, 그 후 정적전단거동의 파괴선(FL)을 따라 파괴가 발생하였다. 이러한 반복 전단거동의 응력경로는 시험방법이 다름에 따른 약간의 차이는 있으나 정적전단거동의 응력경로와 본질적으로 동일함을 알 수 있었다.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the cyclic fatigue resistance of the WaveOne Gold Glider, ProGlider and One G glide path instruments in artificial doublecurvature canals. Materials and Methods: This study included 15 WaveOne Gold Glider (size 15/0.08), 15 ProGlider (size 16/0.08), and 15 One G (size 16/0.06) nickel titanium files. The files were used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions until they were broken in artificial double-curvature canals made of stainless steel. The time to fracture was recorded via a digital stopwatch and the number of rotations until fracture was also calculated. The data were statistically analyzed via the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results: The highest average number of rotations until fracture of the files was found for the WaveOne Gold Glider, followed by ProGlider and One G in order. Statistically significant differences were present between all groups of files (p < 0.05). Conclusions: In our study, the resistance of the WaveOne Gold Glider nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) file to cyclic fatigue in S-shaped curved canals was found to be higher than that of the ProGlider and One G Ni-Ti files.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the torsional and cyclic fatigue resistance of ProGlider (PG), WaveOne Gold Glider (WGG), and TruNatomy Glider (TNG). Materials and Methods: A total of 15 instruments of each glide path system (n = 15) were used for each test. A custom-made device simulating an angle of 90° and a radius of 5 millimeters was used to assess cyclic fatigue resistance, with calculation of number of cycles to failure. Torsional fatigue resistance was assessed by maximum torque and angle of rotation. Fractured instruments were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Data were analyzed with Shapiro-Wilk and Kruskal-Wallis tests, and the significance level was set at 5%. Results: The WGG group showed greater cyclic fatigue resistance than the PG and TNG groups (p < 0.05). In the torsional fatigue test, the TNG group showed a higher angle of rotation, followed by the PG and WGG groups (p < 0.05). The TNG group was superior to the PG group in torsional resistance (p < 0.05). SEM analysis revealed ductile morphology, typical of the 2 fracture modes: cyclic fatigue and torsional fatigue. Conclusions: Reciprocating WGG instruments showed greater cyclic fatigue resistance, while TNG instruments were better in torsional fatigue resistance. The significance of these findings lies in the identification of the instruments' clinical applicability to guide the choice of the most appropriate instrument and enable the clinician to provide a more predictable glide path preparation.

소성힌지 구역의 축방향변형률의 예측은 지진하중을 받는 철근콘크리트 기둥의 합리적인 연성 평가를 위하여 필요한 항목이다. 축방향변형률은 콘크리트의 유효압축강도를 저하시키고 층간 변위를 크게 할 수 있다. 기존 연구는 주로 소성힌지가 발생하는 보의 축방향변형률 예측에 국한되었지만 횡력을 받는 구조물에서는 저층부 기둥도 소성힌지가 발생한다. 이 논문에서는 기둥 부재에 작용하는 축력의 크기에 따라 변화하는 축방향변형률을 예측할 수 있는 모델과 평가식이 제안되었다. 단면 해석법을 이용하여 하중이력에 따른 축방향변형률의 변화와 철근의 변형률 변화를 고찰한 후, 해석과 실험 결과를 근거로 축방향변형률 예측 모델을 제안하였다. 제안된 모델은 부재 축방향변형률을 3가지 경로(재하, 재하 후 반대하중이 하중이 가해지는 구간, 동일한 부재 회전각에서 반복하중을 받을 구간)로 구분하였다. 이 연구에서 제안된 기둥 부재의 축방향변형률의 계산식은 축력비가 다른 철근콘크리트 기둥의 실제 축방향변형률을 추적하였고, 축력비의 영향을 반영하였다.

본 논문에서는 웹 환경에서 객체 데이타베이스를 위한 그래픽 질의어인 OGQL(Odysseus Graphical Query language)의 설계 및 구현에 대하여 논하였다. OGQL은 객체 질의어에 포함된 객체 개념을 간단한 시각적 도구로 표현함으로써 사용자에게 편리한 질의 환경을 제공한다. 특히, OGQL에서는 클래스 계층구조(class composition hierarchy) 상에서 질의 조건을 표시하는데 널리 사용되는 순환(cycle)을 가진 경로식(path expression)을 그래프 형태의 직관적인 표현 방식으로 시각화하고 있다. 순환을 가진 질의의 시각적 표현은 복잡한 이유로 대부분의 그래픽 질의에서 다루지 않고 있다. 또한, 클래스 간의 상속(inheritance)과 같은 객체 질의어의 고유 특성도 시각적으로 표현하고 있다. OGQL은 JDBC를 이용한 자바응용 프로그램이므로 웹 환경에서 원격지 데이터베이스에 접근이 용이하고, 컴퓨터 시스템 플랫폼에 독립적이라는 장점도 가진다.

In this paper, we propose improved maximum access delay time, noise variance, and power delay profile (PDP) estimation schemes for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system in multipath fading channels. To this end, we adopt the approximate maximum likelihood (ML) estimation strategy. For the first step, the log-likelihood function (LLF) of the received OFDM symbols is derived by utilizing only the cyclic redundancy induced by cyclic prefix (CP) without additional information. Then, the set of the initial path powers is sub-optimally obtained to maximize the derived LLF. In the second step, we can select a subset of the initial path power set, i.e. the maximum access delay time, so as to maximize the modified LLF. Through numerical simulations, the benefit of the proposed method is verified by comparison with the existing methods in terms of normalized mean square error, erroneous detection, and good detection probabilities.
