A general scheme of a rubber structure is proposed. Using the thermomechanical method(TMA), some changes in the molecular and topological structures for uncured and cured, and unfilled and filled rubbers during processing are shown. In our investigations as region it is understood a complex structure, which is expressed at the thermomechanical curve(TMC) as a zone differed from others in thermal expansion properties. This zone is between the noticed temperatures of relaxation transitions, usually on the level like those determined by DMTA at 1Hz. These regions, which shares, are not stable, and differ in molecular-weight distribution(MWD) of chain fragments between the junctions. Differences in dynamics of the formation of the molecular and topological structures of a vulcanizate are dependent on the rubber formulation, mixing technology and curing time. Some of characteristics of these regions correlate with mechanical properties of vulcanizates what is shown for NR rubbers containing ENR or CPE as a polymeric additive. It is well known that the state of order influences diffusivity of low-molecular substances into the polymer matrix. Because of this, the two topological amorphous regions should influence the distribution of the ingredients and resulting in rubber compounds' heterogeneity, and related properties of cured rubber. Investigation of this problem is expected to be, in the future, one of the essential factors in determining further improvement of polymeric materials properties by compounding with additives and in reprocessing of rubber scrap.

In this paper, the thermoelastic interactions in a two-dimension porous body are studied. This problem is solved by using the Green and Lindsay (GL) generalized thermoelasticity model under fractional time derivative. The derived approaches are estimated. with numeral results which are applied to the porous mediums in simplifying geometrical. The bounding plane surface of the present half-space continuum is subjected to a pulse heat flux. We use the Laplace-Fourier transforms methods with the eigenvalues approach to solve the problem. The numerical solutions for the field functions are obtained numerically using the numerical Laplace inversion technique. The effects of the fractional parameter and the thermal relaxation times on the temperature field, the displacement field, the change in volume fraction field of voids distribution and the stress fields have been calculated and displayed graphically and the obtained results are discussed.

In this study, the relationship between corrosion resistance and microstructural characteristics such as grain size reduction, preferred orientation, and homogenous distribution of elements and impurity by mechanical milling of magnesium powder was investigated. Mechanical milling of pure magnesium powder exhibited a complex path to grain refinement and growth together with preferred orientation reversal with milling time. It was also found that anisotropic formation of dislocation on the basal plane of magnesium was initially the dominant mechanism for grain size reduction. After 60 hrs of milling, grain coarsening was observed and interpreted as a result of the strain relaxation process through recrystallization. In spite of the finer grain size and strong (002) texture developed in the sample prepared by spark plasma sintering at $500^{\circ}C$ for 5 min after mechanical milling for 2hrs, the sample showed a higher corrosion rate. The results from this study will be helpful for better understanding of the controlling factor for corrosion resistance and behaviors of mechanical milled magnesium powders.

We have investigated the feasibility study, especially for optimal TR, to obtain 3-D MR neurographic imaging (neurograms or nervography) which shows the distribution of peripheral nerve fibers at the human forearm using 4.7 T magnet. To peform a successful formation of MR neurographic imaging, nerve signal should be separated from the other signal comes from surrounding muscle or fat, because nerves are usually embeded in muscle or fat. Generally, it is well known that nerve has shoter T1 value than that of muscle. Thus, repetition time was optimized to maximize the signal intensity defference between the muscel and nerve. We have also used spin-echo(SE) sequence with long echo time($60{\sim}90\;msec$) to enhance the different signal intensity between muscles and pheriperal nerves base on the fact that muscle tissue has longer T2 relaxation lime than that or nerve.

The turbulent shear flow around a surface-mounted vertical fence was investigated using the two-frame PTV system. The Reynolds number based on the fence height(H) was 2950. From this study, it is revealed that at least 400 instantaneous velocity field data are required for ensemble average to get reliable turbulence statistics, but only 100 field data are sufficient for the time-averaged mean velocity information. Various turbulence statistics such as turbulent intensities, turbulence kinetic energy and Reynolds shear stress were calculated from 700 instantaneous velocity vector fields. The fence flow has an unsteady recirculation region behind the fence, followed by a slow relaxation to the flat-plate boundary layer flow. The time-averaged reattachment length estimated from the streamline distribution is about 11.2H. There exists a region of negative Reynolds shear stress near the fence top due to the highly convex (stabilizing) streamline-curvature of the upstream flow. The large eddy structure in the separated shear layer seems to have significant influence on the development of the separated shear layer and the reattachment process.

Background: Most of the previous researches on the abnormality of breathing pattern have focused on the silence of functional movements owing to such abnormality, however, have not been clearly identified the relationship between the abnormal breathing pattern on one hand and kinesiophobia and flexion relaxation phenomenon (FRP) on the other hand. Objective: To compare patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) and healthy person in the abnormality of breathing pattern, kinesiophobia, and FRP during flexion and extension of the trunk. Design: Case-control study. Methods: The research subjects consisted of a group of 15 healthy adults and another group of 15 patients with CLBP. Capnography was used to measure the endtidal $CO_2$ ($EtCO_2$) and respiratory quotient (RQ). The muscle activity of multifidus and erector spinae of the subjects was measured during flexion and extension of the trunk to identify their FRP. The Nijmegen Questionnaire (NQ) and Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK) were utilized to measure their breathing patterns and kinesiophobia, respectively. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) test was conducted in order to analyze the normal distribution of the measured data. Their general characteristics were identified by the descriptive statistics and the independent t-test was performed to identify the differences between the two groups in terms of abnormality of breathing pattern, kinesiophobia, and FRP. The level of significance was set at ${\alpha}=.05$. Results: The patients with CLBP had significantly less $EtCO_2$ and shorter breathing hold time (BHT) than normal healthy person (p<.05). The patient with CLBP also had significantly greater kinesiophobia than healthy person (p<.05), and had less FRP than the healthy person (p<.01). Conclusions: These results suggest that the CLBP had greater abnormality of breathing pattern and kinesiophobia with less FRP than healthy person.

본 논문은 원자력발전소 방화벽에 설치된 케이블관통부 충전시스템(CPFS: Cable penetration fire stop) 안에서 일어나는 동적 열전달 현상을 수식화하고, 새로운 혼합알고리즘을 이용해서 수치적으로 계산하여, 3차원 그래픽으로 나타내는 작업에 관한 연구이다. CPFS 내에서의 열전도 현상을 주어진 초기조건과 경계조건하에서 포물선 편미분방정식(Parabolic PDE)으로 수식화하였다. 계산을 단순화하기 위하여 전체 열 흐름을 z-축직선상에서의 일어나는 열전도 성분과 x-y-좌표 평면상에서 일어나는 열전도 성분으로 나누었다. z-축과 평행한 직선상에서 일어나는 열전도를 나타내는 PDE는 연속과완화법(SOR: Sequential over-relaxation)을 이용하여 유한불연속 점들에 대한 연립상미분방정식(ODE)으로 만들어서 풀었고, x-y-좌표 평면상에서 일어나는 열전도에 관한 PDE는 Galerkin 유한요소법(FEM: Finite element method)을 적용하여 ODE로 전환해서 풀었다. 여기서 시간과 공간의 함수인 온도는 각 직선상의 점들과 각 평면상의 요소절점들에 대해서 일정한 시간간격으로 초기온도와 경계온도를 업데이트하여 번갈아 가며 계산한다. 이러한 일련의 계산결과를 바탕으로 CPFS시스템 내에서의 온도분포의 동적인 변화를 계산해 낼 수 있었다. 결론적으로 관통하는 케이블이 CPFS시스템의 온도분포에 매우 중요한 역할을 한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 CPFS내의 온도분포를 쉽게 이해할 수 있도록 3차원 그래픽으로 나타냈으며, 관통하는 케이블이 방화시스템의 온도분포에 매우 중요한 영향을 끼친다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 마지막으로 계산결과를 실험결과와 직접 비교함으로써, 개발된 모델과 계산 알고리즘의 정당성을 보였다.

The stud female threads for stud bolts tend to degrade faster by high temperature over 450 C. Therefore, inspection for replacement cycle of stud bolts is used to carry out many kinds of method such as ultrasonic test(UT), magnetic test(MT), wobble test, visual test and hardness test. The visual inspection among those has been only applied for stud female threads generally and wobble test is often used to apply stud bolts. In this paper, wobble test is applied for evaluation of stud female threads on the contrary stud bolts especially. It is also applied three types of inspection method included wobble test on the two sites which is used for each other different operation cycle and three kinds of acquisition data are compared with evaluation methods. From the results, we have studied the characteristic exchanging of integrity evaluation data distribution according to using time and proposed managing method for female thread of stud on the power plants.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to evaluate the degree of restraint (DOR) of longitudinal steel at continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) against environmental loadings. METHODS : To measure the longitudinal steel strain, 3-electrical resistance and self-temperature compensation gauges were installed to CRCP test section (thickness = 250mm, steel ratio = 0.7%) and continuously measured 10 min. intervals during 259 days. In order to properly analyze the steel strains first, temperature compensation process has been conducted. Secondly, measured steel strains were divided into 12 phases with different events such as before paving, during concrete hardening, and after first cracking, etc. RESULTS : Thermal strain rate (TSR) concept is defined as the linear strain variations with temperature changes and restraints rate of longitudinal steel against environmental loadings (especially thermal loading) with different cases is defined as degree of restraint(DOR). New concept of DOR could be indirect indicator of crack width behaviors of CRCP. CONCLUSIONS : Before paving, DOR of longitudinal steel is almost same at the coefficient of thermal expansion of steel ($12.44m/m/^{\circ}C$) because of no restraint boundary condition. After concrete pouring, DOR is gradually changed into -1 due to concrete stiffness developing with hydration. After first cracking at crack induced area, values of DOR are around -3~-5. The negative DOR stands for the crack width behavior instead of steel strain behavior. During winter season, DOR reached to -5.77 as the highest, but spring this values gradually reduced as -1.7 as the lowest. Based on this observation, we can presume crack width decreased over time within the time frame of this study. This finding is not consistent with the current theory on crack width variations over time, so further study is necessary to identify the causes of crack width reducing. One of the reasons could be related to concrete stress re-distribution and stress relaxation.

본 논문은 3차원 굴절탄성파 탐사시 얻게 되는 굴절주시를 이용하여 경사진 지층경계면상 속도 분포를 추정하는 방법을 수립코자 수행한 연구를 요약한 것이다. 자료획득은 토모그래피 기법에, 주시 역산은 under-relaxation ART 기법에 의거하였다. 모델은 경사 2층 구조이며, 관련된 매개변수는 지반조사시 만나게 되는 지층을 염두에 두고 선정하였다. 하부 지층에는 수직으로 저속도 혹은 고속도 이상대가 존재하며, 따라서 탐사의 주목적은 이러한 이상대를 탐지하는 것이다. 몇 가지 경우에 대하여 역산을 수행한 결과, 경사 지층 경계면의 경우, 경사 보정을 수행치 않으면 역산 결과는 판독이 어렵거나, 판독하더라도 착오를 일으킬 수 있다는 사실을 확인하였다. 종래 심도 추정을 위한 굴절탄성파 탐사에서, $15^{\circ}$ 이내의 경사지층 경계면을 평균적으로 수평이라고 가정해도 큰 오차가 나지 않는다는 사실을 상기할 때, 앞에 말한 사실은 특이한 일이다.
