To perform the finish outside-diameter grinding process of ferrules which are widely used as fiber optic connectors, a high-precision centerless grinding machine is necessary. In this study, the thermal characteristics of the high-precision centerless grinding machine such as the temperature distribution, temperature rise and thermal deformation, are estimated based on the virtual prototype of the grinding machine and the heat generation rates of heat sources related to the machine operation conditions. The reliability of the predicted results is demonstrated by the temperature characteristics measured from the physical prototype. Especially, the predicted and measured results show the fact that the high-precision centerless grinding machine consisted of the hydrostatic GW and RW spindle systems, hydrostatic RW feeding mechanism, RW swivel mechanism, on-machine GW and RW dressers, and concrete-filled steel bed, has very stable thermal characteristics.

This paper concerns the structural characteristic analysis and evaluation on the hydrostatic guide way and feeding system of a high precision centerless grinder for machining ferrules. In order to realize the required accuracy of ferrules with sub-micron order, the axial stiffness and motion accuracy of feeding system have to become higher level than those of existing centerless grinders. Under these points of view, the physical prototype of feeding system consisted of steel bed, hydrostatic guide way and ballscrew feeding mechanism is designed and manufactured for trial. Experimental results show that the axial and vertical stiffnesses of the physical prototype are very low as compared with those design values. In this paper, to reveal the cause of these stiffness difference, the structural deformations on the virtual prototype of feeding system are analyzed based on the finite element method under experimental conditions. The simulated results illustrate that the deformation of front ballscrew support-bearing bracket is the main cause of reduction in the axial stiffness of feeding system, and the deflection of bed structure and the bending deformation of hydrostatic guide rails are the main causes of reduction in the vertical stiffness of feeding system.

High-precision centerless grinding machines are emerging as a means of finishing the outer diameter grinding process required for ferrules, which are widely used as fiber optic connectors. In this study, a sensitivity analysis for structural and thermal characteristics was carried out using a virtual prototype of a centerless grinding machine to realize systematic design technology and performance improvements required to manufacture ferrules. The prototype consisted of a concrete-filled bed, hydrostatic grinding wheel (GW) and regulating wheel (RW) spindle systems, a hydrostatic RW table feed mechanism, a RW swivel mechanism, and on-machine GW and RW dressers. The results of the structural sensitivity analysis illustrated that the vertical stiffness of hydrostatic guideway for the RW table feed system greatly influenced the horizontal loop stiffness, and the results of the thermal sensitivity analysis illustrated that the heat generation rates at hydrostatic bearings and belt pulley greatly influenced the temperature rise of hydrostatic bearings and the deviation of thermal displacement between GW and RW.

In case of fine machining processes, the cutting state monitoring by a skilled operator is impossible because the physical changes generated during fine machining are very weak. To realize the high efficient and precise fine machining, it is necessary to develop the sensor based monitoring system which is able to detect the fine changes of cutting state. In this paper, the fine acoustic emission monitoring system is developed to monitor the state of the fine machining process. The developed system consists of the AE sensor and the AE signal processing unit. And this has the high-sensitivity and bandwidth which can detect fine AE signal generated during fine machining process. In order to investigate the feasibility of the developed system, evaluation experiments were performed in the fine fixed-abrasive machining processes such as polishing and glass ferrule slicing. Experimental results show that the developed monitoring system possesses an excellent real-time monitoring capability at fine machining processes.

최근 전자산업계에 새롭게 널리 생산되는 마이크로 전자부품들은 왜곡이 최소화된 정밀한 외관 형상을 갖도록 제조되고 관리되지만, 측정 대상의 표면이 가시광 영역에서 광산란되는 특징을 가짐으로 인해, 기존의 피죠나 마이켈슨 형태의 비교간섭법으로는 고정밀의 삼차원 형상측정이 용이하지 아니하였다. 본 논문에서는 광섬유를 이용한 새로운 개념의 점회절 간섭계를 제안하고, 이를 광산란 거친표면의 대표적인 제품인 칩패키지와 실리콘 웨이퍼의 삼차원 형상 측정에 적용하였다. 측정결과 66 mm 측정영역에서 측정 형상오차 PV(peak-to-valley value) 5.6 $\mu\textrm{m}$, 분산값($\sigma$) 1.5 $\mu\textrm{m}$를 획득함으로써 기존의 비교 간섭 측정법에 비해 더욱 향상된 측정 정밀도를 획득하였다.

PURPOSE. The influence of the modified process in the fiber-reinforced post and resin core foundation treatment on the fracture resistance and failure pattern of premolar was tested in this study. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Thirty-six human mandibular premolars were divided into 4 groups (n = 9). In group DCT, the quartz fibre post (D.T. Light-post) was cemented with resin cement (DUO-LINK) and a core foundation was formed with composite resin (LIGHT-CORE). In group DMO and DMT, resin cement (DUO-LINK) was used for post (D.T. Lightpost) cementation and core foundation; in group DMO, these procedures were performed simultaneously in one step, while DMT group was accomplished in separated two steps. In group LCT, the glass fiber post (LuxaPost) cementation and core foundation was accomplished with composite resin (LuxaCore-Dual) in separated procedures. Tooth were prepared with 2 mm ferrule and restored with nickel-chromium crowns. A static loading test was carried out and loads were applied to the buccal surface of the buccal cusp at a 45 degree inclination to the long axis of the tooth until failure occurred. The data were analyzed with MANOVA (${\alpha}$= .05). The failure pattern was observed and classified as either favorable (allowing repair) or unfavorable (not allowing repair). RESULTS. The mean fracture strength was highest in group DCT followed in descending order by groups DMO, DMT, and LCT. However, there were no significant differences in fracture strength between the groups. A higher prevalence of favorable fractures was detected in group DMT but there were no significant differences between the groups. CONCLUSION. The change of post or core foundation method does not appear to influence the fracture strength and failure patterns.

근관 치료된 치아의 수복에 있어서 파절은 가장 중요하게 고려되는 점이다. 포스트를 사용해서 수복한다는 것은 치수와 다른 단단한 물질을 근관 내에 삽입한다는 것으로 자연스럽지 못한 구조를 만들어서 고유의 응력분산을 변화시킨다. 오랫동안 수많이 in vitro 연구들이 post-and-core로 수복된 치아의 파절 저항에 대해서 이루어졌지만 어떤 것이 최상의 선택인지에 대해서는 많은 상충되는 관점들이 존재한다. 본 연구의 목적은 유한요소분석법을 사용하여 post-and-core system의 물리적인 성질이 치질의 응력분산에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 어떤 조합이 파절 저항에 도움이 되는지를 알아보는 것이다. 근관 치료된 상악 중절치를 삼차원 유한 요소법으로 Modeling하였다. 1.5 mm의 ferrule 높이를 부여하고 외관은 zirconia ceramic crown으로 지정하였다. 세가지 평행한 형태의 포스트 (zirconia ceramic, glass fiber, and stainless steel)와 두 가지 코어 (Paracore and Tetric ceram) 물질을 6개의 모델로 조합하였다. 각각의 모델은 해면골, 피질골, 치주인대, 그리고 4 mm 근관 충전을 가지도록 설계하였다. 50 N의 정적인 교합력이 치아 장축에서 60도 각도로 치관의 설면에 적용시켰다. 모델들의 응력전달 특징의 차이를 분석하였고, 결과를 나타내는 데는 Maximum von Mises stress 값을 사용하였고 최대 변위량과 정수압도 계산하였다. Glass fiber post로 수복된 경우 높은 탄성계수를 가진 레진 코어 모델 (29.14 MPa)에서 낮은 탄성계수의 코어 모델 (29.21 MPa)보다 더 낮은 응력이 발생하였다. Glass fiber post로 수복된 모델 (0.03497-0.03499 mm)은 다른 포스트로 수복된 모델들 (0.03245-0.03452 mm)보다 더 많은 최대 변위량을 보였다. 이는 glass fiber post로 수복된 치아의 경우가 상대적으로 치아에 가해지는 힘에 의해 더 많이 움직였다는 것을 보여준다. Zirconia ceramic 이나 stainless steel 과 같이 탄성계수가 큰 포스트는 응력을 증가시키지만 포스트가 스트레스를 대부분 흡수하여 치질에는 스트레스가 낮게 나타났다. Glass fiber post로 수복된 모델에서는 코어와 크라운이 만나는 순면 치경부에서 가장 높은 응력이 발생하였다.

Statement of problem: Many kinds of post and core systems are in the market, but there are no clear selection criteria for them. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the flexural strength and modulus of elasticity of core materials, and measure the bending strength of post systems made of a variety of materials. Material and Methods: The flexural strength and elastic modulus of thirteen kinds core buildup materials were measured on beams of specimens of $2.0{\times}2.0{\times}24{\pm}0.1mm$. Ten specimens per group were fabricated and loaded on an lnstron testing machine at a crosshead speed of 0.25mm/min. A test span of 20 mm was used. The failure loads were recorded and flexural strength calculated with the measured dimensions. The elastic modulus was calculated from the slopes of the linear portions of the stress-stram graphs. Also nine kinds commercially available prefabricated posts made of various materials with similar nominal diameters, approximately 1.25mm, were loaded in a three-point bend test until plastic deformation or failure occurred. Ten posts per group were tested and the obtained data were anaylzed with analysis of variance and compared with the Tukey multiple comparison tests. Results: Clearfil Photo Core and Luxacore had flexural strengths approaching amalgam, but its modulus of elasticity was only about 15% of that of amalgam. The strengths of the glass ionomer and resin modified glass ionomer were very low. The heat pressed glass ceramic core had a high elastic modulus but a relatively low flexural strength approximating that of the lower strength composite resin core materials. The stainless steel, zirconia and carbon fiber post exhibited high bending strengths. The glass fiber posts displayed strengths that were approximately half of the higher strength posts. Conclusion: When moderate amounts of coronal tooth structure are to be replaced by a post and core on an anterior tooth, a prefabricated post and high strength, high elastic modulus core may be suitable. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS In this study several newly introduced post and core systems demonstrated satisfactory physical properties. However when the higher stress situation exists with only a minimal ferrule extension remaining a cast post and core or zirconia post and pressed core are desirable.
