Purpose: This study aimed to examine the immediate effects of different breathing training techniques on diaphragm excursion and vital capacity in healthy adults. Specifically, the study focused on comparing respiratory exercise without PNF, bilateral pattern respiratory exercise, and bilateral pattern with spiral pattern respiratory exercise. Methods: Twenty-seven healthy adults in their 20s participated in the study. Diaphragm excursion and vital capacity were evaluated under three different conditions. A one-way repeated ANOVA was used to analyze the differences in diaphragm excursion and vital capacity among the interventions. Results: Statistically significant differences were observed in diaphragm excursion among the interventions, comparing respiratory exercise without PNF, bilateral pattern respiratory exercise, and bilateral pattern with spiral pattern respiratory exercise. Similarly, statistically significant differences were found in vital capacity among the interventions without PNF respiratory exercise, bilateral pattern respiratory exercise, and bilateral pattern with spiral pattern respiratory exercise. Conclusion: The study demonstrated that incorporating the spiral technique in respiratory exercise led to increased diaphragm excursion and lung capacity compared to other interventions. These findings suggest that PNF respiratory exercise combined with the spiral pattern may have clinical implications for the treatment of respiratory diseases. Further research is warranted to explore the long-term effects and clinical application of these approaches.

Here, we studied the change in the mechanical stiffness of a diaphragm according to the corrugation pattern. The diaphragm consists of a silicon oxide and nitride double layer; a corrugation pattern was formed by dry etching, and the diaphragm was released by wet etching. The fabrication of the thin film was verified using focused ion beam and scanning electron microscopy images. The mechanical stiffness of the diaphragm was obtained by measuring the surface vibration using a laser Doppler vibrometer while applying external sound pressure. Flat squares, diaphragms with square corrugations, and circular corrugation patterns were measured and compared. The stiffness of the diaphragm with a corrugation structure was found to be smaller than that without a corrugation structure; in particular, circular corrugation showed a better effect because of the high symmetry. Furthermore, the effect of corrugation was theoretically predicted. The proposed corrugated diaphragm showed comparable flexibility with the state-of-the-art MEMS microphone diaphragm.

Information technology devices, such as cellular phones, MP3s and so on, due to restrictions of space, require thin and small micro-speakers to generate sound. The reduction of the size of micro-speakers has resulted in the decrease of sound quality, due to such factors as frequency range and sound pressure level. In this study, the acoustical properties of oval microspeakers has been studied as a function of pattern shape on the diaphragm. The other conditions of micro-speakers, except for the pattern, was not changed. When the pattern is present on the diaphragm and the shape of pattern was a whirlwind, the resonance frequency was reduced due to the decrease of tensile strength of diaphragm. The patterns presented in the semi-minor axis of diaphragm did not effect a change of resonance frequency. However, increasing the number of patterns in the semimajor axis of diaphragm became a reason for the decrease of resonance frequency on edge side. When the depth of pattern on edge side was increased, the resonance frequency was decreased due to reduction of geometrical stiffness. If the height of edge and dome were increased, the resonance frequency and geometrical stiffness rapidly increased. After reaching the maximum values, they began to decrease with the continuous increase of height.

이 논문에서는 레이저를 통한 진동판 스캔과 열화상 카메라를 사용한 진동판 촬영, 두 가지 방법을 비교하며 슬림 스피커의 분할 진동을 검출하는 방법에 대해 살펴본다. 슬림 스피커는 평판형의 구조적인 특성상 분할진동이 두드러지게 나타나고, 설치되는 공간이 좁아 무빙 코일에서 발생하는 열의 냉각이 제한적이다. 이런 특성으로 인해 슬림 스피커에서 분할진동이 제품의 품질에 큰 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 진동판에서 일어나는 분할진동의 영향과 무빙 코일에 의한 진동판의 열전달 관계를 비교 탐색한다. 비교를 위한 실험은 분할진동 모드의 측정과 진동판의 열 변화 측정을 진동판 스캔과 열화상 카메라 촬영의 2단계의 실험으로 진행한다. 동일 주파수에서 발생하는 분할진동 모드와 열전달 형태를 비교하여 서로 간에 어떤 영향을 미치고 있는 지 파악할 수 있다. 그리고 이를 통해 발견한 연관성을 통해 쉽게 촬영할 수 있는 열화상만으로도 슬림 스피커가 가지는 분할진동의 형태와 경향성을 빠르게 파악하여 최적 설계에 도움이 되는 자료로 사용할 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구에서는 마이크로스피커에서 진동판의 패턴에 따른 음향특성의 변화를 연구하였다. 진동판을 에지부와 돔부로 크게 나누고, 이들 각각에 대한 패턴형태의 변화는 진동판의 인장강도에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났고, 그 결과로써 마이크로스피커의 공명진동수가 변하였다. 에지부에서 패턴의 수가 증가하면, 공명진동수가 증가하여 최대가 된 후에 다시 지수함수적으로 감소하였다. 에지부에서 "U"형 드릴의 사용, 회오리형 패턴과 "V"형 드릴의 각도를 감소시키거나 또는 돔부에서 방사형 패턴의 수와 돔 높이의 감소와 곡률반경의 증가는 진동판의 인장강도를 증가시켜 공명진동수를 높였다. 그러나 에지부에서 "V"형 드릴의 사용, 방사형 패턴과 "V"형 드릴각도의 증가와 돔부에서 방사형 패턴의 수와 돔의 높이를 증가시키거나 곡률반경을 감소시키면 진동판의 인장강도가 감소하여 공명진동수가 감소하였다.

The structural collapse of masonry structure under dynamic loading displays many possible failure mechanisms often related to interaction between structural components. Roof collapse is one of the major damage mechanisms observed in masonry structures during an earthquake. Better connection between the roof diaphragm and walls may be preventing roof collapse, but it can affect other failure mechanisms. In spite of this fact, less attention has been paid to the influence of the roof diaphragm effect on masonry structures and little research has been implemented in this field. In the present study, the roof diaphragm effect on the unreinforced masonry structure under dynamic loading has been experimentally investigated. Three one-quarter scale one-story adobe masonry house models with different roof conditions have been tested by subjecting them to sinusoid loading on a shaking table simulator. Phenomena such as failure pattern, dynamic performance of masonry structure were examined.

In this work, a study was conducted to investigate the effect of diaphragm thickness on the regression rate of the hybrid rocket motor. To observe the flow pattern and the recirculation zone, visualizations of combustion chambers with different diaphragm thickness (5mm, 10mm) were performed. It was found that the case with 5 mm thickness had a larger recirculation zone and therefore, had a higher regression rate than the case with 10mm thickness due to the increased residence time and heat transfer toward the fuel surface. Finally, it was concluded that the thickness of diaphragm can be a critical parameter for the enhancement of the regression rate.

In order to investigate the flexural bearing capacity of panel zone of diaphragm-through joint between concrete filled square steel tubular column and steel beam, four specimens were tested under static tension loads to study the mechanical properties and bearing capacity of diaphragm-through joints with a failure mode of panel zone. Finite element models of these specimens were developed to simulate the test and compare the predicted failure modes, load-displacement curves and bearing capacities with the experimentally observed. It was found that the tensile load from the steel beam flange is mainly shared by the square steel tube and the diaphragm. The diaphragm plastic zone appears along the cross-section lines enclosed by the square steel tube and the influence of steel beam web on the plastic zone of the steel tube is significant and cannot be neglected. Computational models of yield lines on square steel tube and diaphragm are established based on the distribution pattern of the plastic zone, and an analytical method for the evaluation of the bearing capacity of the joint is proposed. The theoretical results and the experimental data are compared and found in good agreement.

This paper describes unsteady internal flow characteristics of a cathode air blower, used for the 1 kW fuel cell system. The cathode air blower considered in the present study is a diaphragm type blower. To analyze the flow field inside the diaphragm cavity, compressible unsteady numerical simulation is performed. Moving mesh system is applied to the numerical analysis for describing the volume change of the diaphragm cavity in time. Throughout a numerical simulation by modeling the inlet and outlet valves in a diaphragm cavity, unsteady nature of an internal flow is successfully analyzed. Variations of mass flow rate, force and pressure on the lower moving plate of a diaphragm cavity are evaluated in time. The computed mass flow rate at the same pressure and rotating frequency of a motor has a maximum of 5 percent error with the experimental data. It is found that flow pattern at the suction process is more complex compared to that at the discharge process. Unsteady nature of internal flow in the cathode air blower is analyzed in detail.

주기적으로 변하는 압력이 loose 또는 tight fitting 상태의 콘택트렌즈와 같은 diaphragm에 작용하여 진동이 발생하는 경우 diaphragm의 가장자리(edge)는 단순지지(simply supported) 또는 고정(rigidly clamped) 상태로 가정할 수 있으며, 이러한 가정하에 diaphragm의 진동을 해석할 수 있는 미분방정식과 그 해를 구하는 컴퓨터 프로그램을 작성하였으며 이 컴퓨터 모델을 사용하여 진폭 및 출력을 예측하고 diaphragm의 반경 및 두께, damping, 작용하는 압력의 진동수 등 제반 변수가 진동에 미치는 영향을 모사하였다. 외부 압력의 진동수가 어떤 범위 이상에서는 diaphragm의 파형은 한 개의 peak를 가지는 원호형에서 2개의 peak를 가지는 파도형으로 전환되며 이 때 진동수가 증가함에 따라 diaphragm의 바깥 부분의 peak가 안쪽 peak보다 높아지는 것을 알 수 있다. 이러한 경향이 시작되는 진동수는 diaphragm의 가장자리가 단순지지된 경우가 clamped 된 경우보다 훨씬 낮다. 단순지지된 diaphragm의 진동은 고정단 진동에 비하여 기본 공진(fundamental resonance)이 월등히 낮은 진동수에서 발생하며, 따라서 저주파 영역에서는 진동수가 낮아질수록 두 진동간의 진폭차가 커지지만 고주파 영역에서는 그 차이가 미미하게 된다. 또한 단순지지 diaphragm의 진동의 특징은 진동수의 증가에 따라 여러개의 공진(harmonics)이 발생하지만 전체적으로 진폭은 급격하게 감소한다. 그러나 저주파 영역에서 단순지지 진동의 진폭이 크다고 해도 출력은 낮기 때문에 diaphragm의 진동에 따른 출력(power)은 특정 진동수에서 하나의 주 peak를 갖는다. 단순지지된 diaphragm이 진동할 때 diaphragm의 출력 공진진동수는 두께가 증가할수록 감소한다. 이 경우 형성되는 harmonics의 출력은 기본공진의 강도에 비해 현저하게 떨어지는 것이 진폭의 경우와 대조적이다.
