Compliance calibration method is frequently used to determine $G_IC$ from the DCB composite specimen. However, the method requires at least 4 to 5 fracture test (loading-unloading) records. In this study, $G_IC$ of unidirectional graphite/epoxy DCB composites was determined from the elastic work factor approach which uses a single fracture test record. In order to inspect the validity of the elastic work factor approach, $G_IC$ determined from the elastic work factor approach was compared to that of determined from the compliance calibration method. It was shown that $G_IC$ determined from the elastic work factor approach was comparable to that determined from the compliance calibration method. That is, the elastic work factor approach can be used to determine $G_IC$ of unidirectional graphite/epoxy DCB specimen from a single fracture record.

In this paper we analyzed the effect of compliance mismatch with respect to the thickness variation of elastic foundation(fatty tissue) in end-to-end anastomosis. This study considered the preliminary deformed shape induced by suturing in the anastomosis of coronary artery and PTFE with different diameters using simplified suturing model and the fatty tissue surrounding heart and coronary artery for more accurate result using finite element method. Area compliance(C$\sub$A/) was used to analyze the final deformed shape of the anastomotic part with respect to the thickness variation of fatty tissue under mean blood pressure, 100 mmHg(13.3kPa). The results obtained were as follows : 1. When the elastic foundation, assumed to be incompressive material, surrounded the grafts in anastomosis, the compliance mismatch of artery and PTFE was improved by 47∼72%. 2. As the initial diameter ratio(R$\sub$I/) became larger, the higher difference of compliance was induced in spite of elastic foundation surrounding grafts.

The thickness of pipe can be locally reduced during operation due to wall thinning. Due to its significance on structural integrity, many non-destructive detecting techniques and assessment methods are available. In this study, the elastic bending compliance of local wall-thinned pipe is presented in terms of the wall thinning geometry: wall thinning depth, circumferential angle and longitudinal length. Elastic finite element (FE) analysis further shows that the presented equation can be used for any wall thinning shape. The proposed solution differs from FE results by less than 6% for all cases analyzed. The bending compliance increases linearly with increasing longitudinal thinning length and non-linearly with increasing thinning angle and depth.

A method is proposed to evaluate the elastic-plastic fracture resistance curve only with load displacement records without the crack length measurement in CT specimen. This method is based on the idea that the effect of plastic deformation and the crack growth can be measured only by using a load-displacement record. If we know the reference-load curve representing the hardening of specimen, then the crack extension can be calculated by the elastic compliance determined from the load ratio. The results of this proposed method were compared to those of the elastic-plastic fracture resistance curve for the ASTM standard unloading compliance method. The experimental results for two kinds of ductile materials showed that the proposed method well simulates the material J-R curves. This method is currently applied for CT specimens. but it can be extended to the other specimen geometries.

In this paper we analyzed the mechanical behavior with respect to the thickness variation of elastic foundation(fatty tissue) in end-to-end anastomosis. This study considered the preliminary deformed shape induced by suturing in the anastomosis of coronary artery and PTFE with different diameters using simplified suturing model and the fatty tissue surrounding heart and coronary artery for more accurate result using finite element method. Area compliance(CA) was used to analyze the final deformed shape of the anastomotic part with respect to the thickness variation of fatty tissue under mean blood pressure, 100mmHg(13.3㎪). And Equivalent and circumferential stresses in the anastomosis were also analyzed with respect to the change of initial diameter ratio( $R_1$) and fatty tissue thickness( $T_{F}$). The results obtained were as follows : 1 When the elastic foundation, assumed to be incompressive material, surrounded the grafts in anastomosis, the compliance mismatch of artery and PTFE was reduced by 47 -72%. 2. As the initial diameter ratio( $R_1$) became larger, the higher difference of compliance was induced in spite of elastic foundation surrounding grafts. 3. The maximum nondimensional circumferential stress is twice or three times as high as the maximum nondimensional equivalent stress in the anastomotic part.t.

Effect of an accelerated iso-thermal aging (375 degree C x 66days, 375 degree C x 200days) on elastic-plastic fracture resistance curve were examined in SA533B low alloy steel. Fracture toughness test are conducted by unloading compliance method at room temperature. But the apparent negative crack growth phenomenon, usually arise in partial unloading compliance test. The phenomenon of negative crack growth may be eliminated by the offset technique. There is no effect of aging on J sub(IC) and dJ/da in iso-thermal aged (375 degree C x 66 days) specimen, but there is very little effect in iso-thermal aged (375 degree C x 200 days) specimen.

A finite element analysis of end-to-end artery/PTFE anastomosis has been presented in this study to evaluate the distribution of compliance in the vicinity of the anastomosis due to any mismatch in compliance characteristics. But, In these studies it was assumed that the artery and PTFE have the simple cylindrical shape representing the fatty tissue surrounding the coronary artery. And the fatty tissue was considered as the elastic surrounding materials in the finite element analysis. The simulation results were obtained as follows : 1. A fatty tissue was effect to reduce the compliance mismatch in the vicinity of a artery/PTFE anastomosis of different material because a hypercompliant zone become narrorw and a compliance discrepancy decrease between the artery and the PTFE about 70%. And radial direction displacement distribution with respect to distance in the vicinity of a artery/PTFE anastomosis was similiar. 2. The variation of PTFE thckness reduce the compliance mismatch in the vicinity of a artery/PTFE anastomosis about 25%.

This paper was undertaken to develop the fracture toughness testing method using small and single specimen compared to the conventional method in evaluating elastic-plastic fracture toughness of the superconducting magnet structural material at cryogenic temperature. The elastic-plastic fracture toughness test was conducted by using the unloading compliance method recommended by ASTM E813-89 to accomplish the above purpose. And, the 20% side-grooved 0.5TCT and 1TCT specimens were used to evaluate the fracture toughness by using as possible as miniaturized CT specimen. The unloading compliance method was a very useful method in evaluating elastic-plastic fracture toughness at cryogenic temperature. It could be taken valid fracture toughness values by using 20% side-grooved 0.5TCT specimen recommended by ASTM E813-89.

The aim of this paper is to clarify the structural compliance of the constrained flexible manipulator and to develop the force control algorithm by using the compliance of the links. The proposed structural compliance control consists of the position control to utilize a flexible manipulator model (considering the compensation for the elastic deflection of links) and the passive force control to utilize the rigid manipulator model (without considering the compensation for the elastic deflection of links). We present the experimental results for the case when applying the only position control, and when applying the structural compliance control. Finally, a comparison between these results is presented to show the performance of our method.

신체조성과 혈관탄성의 변화로 인한 심혈관질환과 근감소로 인한 낙상의 발생은 노화로 인하여 가장 빈번하게 발생하게 된다. 그래서 탄력밴드 저항운동은 노인들이 쉽고 안전하게 수행할 수 있으며 신체조성과 혈관탄성에 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있을 것이다. 따라서 본 연구는 고령여성(>65 years)을 대상으로 12주간 저항운동을 실시한 후 신체조성, 혈관탄성, 낙상위험도지수에 어떠한 효과를 미치는지에 대하여 살펴보았다. 저항운동은 주3회 한 회당 60분으로 구성되었고 운동 강도는 Borg의 운동자각도(6 - 20)에서 11-14로 설정되었다. 신체조성에 해당하는 체중, 근육량, 체지방률, BMI(Body Mass Index)와, 혈관탄성(맥파속도 (Pulse wave velocity (PWV)), 낙상위험도지수(Risk of falling)는 훈련 전과 후에 측정이 되었다. 연구 결과 신체조성에서 운동집단의 체중(p=.003), BMI(p=.002), PWV(p=.017), 낙상위험도지수(p=.037)는 유의하게 감소하였으나 통제집단에서 체중(p=.009), BMI(p=.009)는 유의하게 증가하였다. 따라서 여성노인들은 탄력밴드 저항운동을 통해 체중과 BMI를 감소시키고 혈관탄성에 긍정적인 효과를 얻게 되었다. 그리하여 탄력밴드 저항운동은 노인들의 대사증후군, 심혈관질환, 낙상사고의 발생률을 낮출 수 있는 매우 효과적인 운동이라 할 수 있다.
