This study focusses on the development of a motion-sensing smart leggings prototype with the help of a module that monitors motion using a fiber-type stretch sensor. Additionally, it acquires data on Electrocardiogram (ECG), respiration, and body temperature signals, for the development of smart clothing used in online exercise coaching and customized healthcare systems. The research process was conducted in the following order: 1) Fabrication of a fiber-type elastic strain sensor for motion monitoring, 2) Positioning and attaching the sensor, 3) Pattern development and three-dimensional (3D) design, 4) Prototyping 5) Wearability test, and 6) Expert evaluation. The 3D design method was used to develop an aesthetic design, and for sensing accurate signal acquisition functions, wearability tests, and expert evaluation. As a result, first, the selection or manufacturing of an appropriate sensor for the function is of utmost importance. Second, the selection and attachment method of a location that can maximize the function of the sensor without interfering with any activity should be studied. Third, the signal line selection and connection method should be considered, and fourth, the aesthetic design should be reflected along with functional verification. In addition, the selection of an appropriate material is important, and tests for washability and durability must be made. This study presented a manufacturing method to improve the functionality and design of smart clothing, through the process of developing a prototype of motion-sensing smart leggings.

Background: The outcomes of patients 50-55 years old or younger undergoing prosthetic shoulder arthroplasty (PSA) may not generalize to younger patients. We report outcomes following PSA in a consecutive series of patients 40 years or younger. We hypothesize that total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) provides better outcome and durability than resurfacing hemiarthroplasty (RHA). Methods: Patients were stratified by diagnosis and surgical procedure performed, RHA or TSA. Active range of motion and self-assessed outcome were evaluated preoperatively and at final follow-up. Results: Twenty-nine consecutive PSAs were identified in 26 patients, comprising 9 TSAs and 20 RHAs, with a minimum of 2-year follow-up. Twelve PSAs were performed for chondrolysis. Mean active forward elevation, abduction, external rotation, and internal rotation improved significantly (p<0.001 for all). Mean pain score improved from 6.3 to 2.1, Simple Shoulder Test from 4.0 to 9.0, and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score from 38 to 75 (p<0.001 for all). Patients undergoing RHA and TSA had similar outcomes; but three RHAs required revision, two of these within 4 years of implantation. Four of five patients undergoing revision during the study period had an original diagnosis of chondrolysis. Conclusions: PSA in young patients provides substantial improvement in active range of motion and patient reported outcomes irrespective of diagnosis and glenoid management. However, patients undergoing RHA, especially for chondrolysis, frequently require subsequent revision surgery, so that RHA should be considered with caution in young patients and only after shared decision-making and counsel on the risk of early revision to TSA.

Properties of a lesser-used wood species were investigated to determine its potential for structural utilization. Trees of Delonix regia were felled and sampled at the base, middle and top and then sectioned to inner wood, middle wood, and outer wood for variation across the axial and radial directions. Hence, selected physical and mechanical properties as well as natural durability of D. regia along the radial and axial directions were examined. Obtained data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) at α_0.05. There was no significant difference in the Moisture content (MC) of the wood but specific gravity (SG) decreased from base to top ranging from 0.35-0.44. Water absorption, volumetric swelling, and volumetric shrinkage range from 46.18-51.86%, 2.57-4.02%, and 2.26-3.96% respectively along the axial plane. The weight loss for graveyard exposure and accelerated laboratory decay test ranged from 25.14-48.00% and 32.02-44.45% respectively. Modulus of Rupture and Modulus of Elasticity values range from 29.42-72.68 Nmm² and 3,834.54-8,830.37 Nmm² respectively. The SG values has confirmed the species as a medium density wood and values of other properties tested showed that the wood is dimensional stable and moderately resistance to fungi and termite. Hence, it could be used for light construction purposes such as furniture and other interior woodwork.

Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is produced using high amount of cementitious materials, very low water/cementitious materials ratio, fine-sized fillers, and steel fibers. Due to the dense microstructure of UHPC, it possesses very high strength, elasticity, and durability. Besides that, the UHPC exhibits high ductility and fracture toughness due to presence of fibers in its matrix. While the high ductility of UHPC allows it to undergo high strain/deflection before failure, the high fracture toughness of UHPC greatly enhances its capacity to absorb impact energy without allowing the formation of severe cracking or penetration by the impactor. These advantages with UHPC make it a suitable material for construction of the structural members subjected to special loading conditions. In this research work, the UHPC mixtures having three different dosages of steel fibers (2%, 4% and 6% by weight corresponding to 0.67%, 1.33% and 2% by volume) were characterized in terms of their mechanical properties including facture toughness, before using these concrete mixtures for casting the slab specimens, which were tested under high-energy impact loading with the help of a drop-weight impact test setup. The effect of fiber content on the impact energy absorption capacity and central deflection of the slab specimens were investigated and the equations correlating fiber content with the energy absorption capacity and central deflection were obtained with high degrees of fit. Finite element modeling (FEM) was performed to simulate the behavior of the slabs under impact loading. The FEM results were found to be in good agreement with their corresponding experimentally generated results.

Natural pozzolans are used as additives in cement to develop more durable and high-performance concrete. Pozzolanic activity index (PAI) is important for assessing the performance of a pozzolan as a binding material and has an important effect on the compressive strength, permeability, and chemical durability of concrete mixtures. However, the determining of the 28 days (short term) and 90 days (long term) PAI of concrete mixtures is a time-consuming process. In this study, to reduce extensive experimental work, it is aimed to predict the short term and long term PAIs as a function of the chemical compositions of various natural pozzolans. For this purpose, the chemical compositions of various natural pozzolans from Central Anatolia were determined with X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. The mortar samples were prepared with the natural pozzolans and then, the short term and the long term PAIs were calculated based on compressive strength method. The effect of the natural pozzolans' chemical compositions on the short term and the long term PAIs were evaluated and the PAIs were predicted by using multiple linear regression (MLR) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) model. The prediction model results show that both reactive SiO₂ and SiO₂+Al₂O₃+Fe₂O₃ contents are the most effective parameters on PAI. According to the performance of prediction models determined with metrics such as root mean squared error (RMSE) and coefficient of correlation (R²), ANFIS models are more feasible than the multiple regression model in predicting the 28 days and 90 days pozzolanic activity. Estimation of PAIs based on the chemical component of natural pozzolana with high-performance prediction models is going to make an important contribution to material engineering applications in terms of selection of favorable natural pozzolana and saving time from tedious test processes.

전단보강이 없는 철근콘크리트 보의 파괴특성의 정의는 현재까지는 어려운 주제이다. 과거의 본질적인 실험적 연구와 이론적인 노력에도 불구하고 전단파괴의 특성은 완전히 이해되지 않았다. 따라서 보의 설계시 전단강도 산정에 반경험식의 적용이 되어오고 있다. 최근의 다양한 건설환경 하에서 고성능 콘크리트의 수요가 증가하고 있으며 내구성을 포함한 가격경쟁력이 뛰어난 재료들이 필요하며 특히 경량철근콘크리트의 경우에는 경량이면서 적절한 강도를 가지고 온도와 소음차단에 효과적이기 때문에 주요부재 및 구조물에 응용할 수 있다. 이러한 장점에도 불구하고 그의 극한파괴거동에 대해서는 다소 잘 정리되어 있지 않다. 이러한 이유로 본 연구에서는 경량철근콘크리트 보의 전단거동을 살펴보며 그의 특이성을 기존 실험적 연구와 해석적 연구를 통해 비교, 검토하고자 하였다.

최근 고속전철의 자갈도상에 대한 대안으로 콘크리트 슬래브궤도가 도입되어 고속전철 신규노선에 시공되고 있다. 콘크리트 슬래브궤도는 자갈도상에 비해 내구성, 유지관리 측면에서의 경제성, 열차운행의 안정성 등의 측면에서 우위에 있지만, 우수 및 지하수로 인한 노반강성의 저하, 연약한 원지반의 침하 등으로 인한 슬래브궤도의 처짐은 열차안정성에 치명적인 결함이 된다. 본 연구에서는 슬래브궤도의 처짐 지표로서 슬래브궤도의 휨강성을 설정하고, 슬래브궤도의 휨강성을 2차원 영상으로 표현할 수 있는 FRACTAL (Flexural-Rigidity Assessment of Concrete Tracks by Antisymmetric Lamb Waves) 기법이라는 비파괴 탄성파 기법을 제안하였다. 이론적 근거 확보를 위하여 콘크리트 슬래브궤도에서의 탄성파 시험을 수치해석적으로 모사하여 영향인자 연구를 수행하였고, FRACTAL 기법의 적용성 평가를 위하여 실제 고속전철 슬래브궤도에 적용하여 보았다. 그리고 FRACTAL 시험측선과 동일 측선에서 Impulse-Response 기법과 인접지반에서 전기비저항시험을 수행하여, FRACTAL 기법의 신뢰성을 검증하였다.

포장궤도는 기존선의 유지보수 노력을 절감하기 위하여 개발되고 있다. 이 중 베이스플레이트 저탄성패드는 궤도 전체의 지지강성을 결정하는 구성품으로서 궤도의 응력-변위특성, 동적응답, 피로특성 등에 가장 큰 영향을 미친다. 따라서 저탄성패드의 적용은 궤도전체의 내구성과 안정성에 미치는 영향이 크다고 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 저탄성패드의 적용으로 인하여 획득되는 효과 중 노반에 전달되는 열차하중의 저감에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 패드스프링계수별 정적해석과 실물반복재하시험을 수행하고 그 결과를 비교 분석하여 저탄성패드의 하중 전달특성을 파악하였으며 전달하중 저감효과를 검토하였다.
