Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of hamstring eccentric exercise on pain and functional activity in patients with chronic low back pain. Design: Randomized controlled trial Methods: Participants comprised 27 subjects with back pain persisting for 3 months. They were randomly assigned to the experimental group (Eccentric exercise: n=13) and the control group (Stretching: n=14). The experimental group performed gastrocnemius, iliopsoas, and quadratus lumborum stretching along with hamstring eccentric exercise, while the control group engaged in the same stretches along with hamstring stretching. The eccentric exercise for the hamstrings was Nordic curl exercise. Each group practiced for 1 hour a day, 3 times a week, for 4 weeks. Pain, disability index, balance, and hamstring length were measured. Results: Significant differences were observed in the comparison of changes in back pain, back disability index, and hamstring length before and after exercise within each group (p<0.05). The balance ability of the experimental group showed a difference before and after exercise (p<0.05), whereas no significant difference in the control group. There were no significant differences in back pain and hamstring length between the groups. Changes in back disability index and balance ability significantly increased in the experimental group compared to the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Hamstring eccentric exercise using Nordic curls has a positive effect on back pain, back disability index, balance ability, and hamstring length changes.

목적: 중심외주시 훈련 전후 대비감도를 검사하여 망막 주변부의 기능적 개선 여부를 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 정상 시각을 가진 14명의 성인 남녀의 우안을 대상으로 중심와에서 $20^{\circ}$ 이측으로 떨어진 망막 주변부의 대비감도를 검사했다. 60분간 영상을 21일 동안 중심외주시 훈련 후 대비감도를 다시 검사하여 사후 검정했다. 결과: 시간적 가중에 따른 임계점 분석에서 중심외주시 훈련 전 0.7 cpd에서 임계점은 2.67(467 ms)이었으며 훈련 후 2.79(616 ms)로 증가했다 (p<0.05). 훈련 전 3.0 cpd에서 임계점 역시 2.53(341 ms)이었으며 훈련 후 3.04(1102 ms)로 증가했다(p<0.05). 결론: 중심외주시 훈련시 선명하고 작은 글씨체의 문자로 훈련하는 것을 권장하며 짧은 시간동안 자주 반복하는 것이 보다 효과적이다. 아울러, 저시력 환자에 대한 각 병변별 시재활훈련을 할 수 있는 기준에 대한 연구가 절실하다.

본 연구는 Thera-Band를 이용해 단축성 수축과 신장성 수축이 혼합된 저항운동을 실시하는 것이 단축성 수축 저항 운동만을 실시하는 것보다 근력증진에 더 효과적인지를 알아보고자 하는 논문이다. 연구대상자는 부산광역시 소재 S 대학교에 재학 중인 학생 30명 이었으며, 30명을 무작위로 단축성 수축과 신장성 수축 운동군, 단축성 수축 운동군, 무운동군으로 나누어 4주 동안 운동을 실시하였다. 근력 측정은 등속성 운동기기인 CON-TERX를 이용하였으며, 각속도는 $60^{\circ}$/sec, $120^{\circ}$/sec이었다. 4주 운동 후, 단축성 수축과 신장성 수축 운동군의 경우 각속도 $60^{\circ}$/sec에서 단축성과 신장성 최대 토크와 최대 파워, 각속도 $120^{\circ}$/sec에서 단축성 최대 파워가 통계적으로 유의하게 증가하였다. 반면 단축성 수축 운동군은 각속도는 $60^{\circ}$/sec와 $120^{\circ}$/sec의 최대 파워에서만 유의한 증가가 있었다. 반면 무운동군은 변화가 없었다. 따라서 Thera-Band를 이용해 단축성 수축과 신장성 수축이 혼합된 운동을 실시하는 것이 단축성 수축 운동만을 실시하는 것보다 근력증진에 더 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

Self-compacting Concrete Filled steel Tubes (SCFT), which combines the advantages of steel and concrete materials, can be applied to strengthen the RC columns. In order to investigate the eccentric loading behavior of the strengthened columns, this paper presents an experimental and numerical investigation on them. The experimental results showed that the use of SCFT is interesting since the ductility and the bearing capacity of the RC columns are greatly improved. And the performance of strengthened columns is significantly affected by four parameters: column section type (circular and square), wall thickness of the steel tube, designed strength grade of strengthening concrete and initial eccentricity. In the numerical program, a generic fiber element model which takes in account the effect of confinement is developed to predict the behavior of the strengthened columns subjected to eccentric loading. After the fiber element analysis was verified against experimental results, a simple design formula based on the model is proposed to calculate the ultimate eccentric strength. Calibration of the calculated results against the test results shows that the design formula closely estimates the ultimate capacities of the eccentrically compressed strengthened columns by 5%.

This paper is an experimental and numerical work of Investigating the bearing capacity of shallow foundation of rubble mound under eccentric loads. Parametric centrifuge model tests at the 50g level environments with the model footings in the form of strip footing were performed by changing the loading location of model footing, relative density and materials for ground foundation. For the model ground, crushed rock sampled from a rocky mountain was prepared with a grain size distribution of having an identical coefficient of uniformity to the field condition. Model ground was also prepared with relative densities of 50 % and 80 %. For loading condition, model tests with and without eccentric load were carned out to investigate the effect of eccentric loads and a numerical analysis with the commertially available software of FLAC was performed. For numerical estimation with FLAC, the hyperbolic model of a nonlinear elastic constitutive relationship was used to simulate the stress-stram constitutive relationship of model ground and a series of triaxial compression test were carried out to find the parameters for this model Test results were analyzed and compared with Meyerhof method (1963), effective area method based on the limit equilibrium method, and a numerical analysis with FLAC.

In naval architecture and offshore engineering, the development and a broad use has been achieved in the field of flow control valves for pipe system. Butterfly valves are also widely used for flow control, but there are not many studies for triple-eccentric butterfly valves. Moreover, if the fluid of pipeline flows in the bi-direction then it makes more complicate to adapt triple-eccentric butterfly valves to flow control. In this study, we are trying to develop a bi-directional triple-eccentric butterfly valve through sealing mechanism and stem design study. Digital mockup using 3D CAD was constructed for shape interference check and structural analysis was conducted for structural safety. Also we performed leakage test to check out the durability of the bi-directional pressure for the developed valve.

This paper presents the comparison results of some kinds of control method in circumstance of eccentric load. The plant to be controlled is a computed tomography(CT) driven by a permanent magnet synchronous motor. In a CT system, many units are attached on the rotationally part of a gantry such as x-ray tube, detector, heat exchanger, and data acquisition unit etc. Therefore keeping many components to balance which have different weight is not easy; this is inescapable problem in the all CT systems. To solve this problem against eccentric load, some kinds of control method have been compared and analysed by using protype CT. From the experimental results it is vilified that the CT drive system with model reference control method indicates higher speed regulation ability regardless of variable eccentric weight and uncertain position, and also in the limit condition of constant eccentric weight and fixed position, the compensation method with sinusoidal form is a strong candidate in view of speed ripple reduction.

The cross-section warping due to the passage of high-speed trains can be a relevant issue to consider in the dynamic analysis of bridges due to (i) the usual layout of railway systems, resulting in eccentric moving loads; and (ii) the use of cross-sections prone to warping deformations. A thin-walled beam formulation for the dynamic analysis of bridges including the cross section warping is presented in this paper. Towards a numerical implementation of the beam formulation, a finite element with seven degrees of freedom is proposed. In order to easily consider the compatibility between elements, and since the coupling between flexural and torsional effects occurs in non-symmetric cross-sections due to dynamic effects, a single axis is considered for the element. The coupled flexural-torsional free vibration of thin-walled beams is analysed through the presented beam model, comparing the results with analytical solutions presented in the literature. The dynamic analysis due to an eccentric moving load, which results in a coupled flexural-torsional vibration, is considered in the literature by analytical solutions, being therefore of a limited applicability in practice engineering. In this paper, the dynamic response due to an eccentric moving load is obtained from the proposed finite element beam model that includes warping by a modal analysis.
