This paper describes the seismic performance evaluation of reinforced concrete bridge columns under constant and varying axial forces. For this purpose, nine identical circular reinforced concrete columns were designed seismically by KIBSE (2021) and KCI (2021). A comparison of lateral forces with theoretical strength shows that the safety factor for columns under varying axial forces is less marginal than those under constant axial forces. In addition, columns under varying axial forces exhibit significant fluctuations in the hysteretic response due to continuously varying axial forces. This is particularly prominent when many varying axial force cycles within a specific lateral loading cycle increase. Moreover, the displacement ductility of columns under varying axial forces does not meet the code-specified required ductility in the range of varying axial forces. All varying axial forces affect columns' strength, stiffness, and displacement ductility. Therefore, axial force variation needs to be considered in the lateral strength evaluation of reinforced concrete bridge columns.

저수호안에 작용하는 외력들 중에서 유수에 의한 소류력과 항행하는 선박에 의한 항주파는 호안의 안정성에 가장 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있는 항목들이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 외력들에 대해 호안의 안정성을 분석하였다. 분석대상지역은 서울시의 한강인공호안을 생태녹지공간으로 조성하는 시험시공구간이다. RMA-2모형을 이용하여 계산된 유속을 사용하여 소류력을 산정하고, 안정성은 대상구간에 대해 계산한 계산소류력과 호안재료의 허용소류력을 비교하여 분석하였다. 분석결과 측점 93의 200년빈도 계산소류력이 허용소류력을 초과하여 이 지점은 수리적안정성이 확보되지 않는 지점으로 판단할 수 있었다. 2007년 8월 10일의 강우에 대해서는 전구간에서 계산소류력이 허용소류력보다 작게 모의되었다. 따라서 소류력에 대해서는 안정하다고 판단할 수 있으나 부분적으로 호안이 침수된 부분에 세굴이 발생한 이유는 시공후 식생이 활착할 시간이 부족한 상태에서 작은 소류력에 대해서도 세굴이 발생하였으며, 항주파 등의 다른 외력과 중첩되어 발생하였다고 생각된다. 한강을 운행하는 한강유람선과 수상택시에 의해 발생하는 항주파를 계산하였으며 이를 이용하여 호안에 미치는 파력을 산정하여 호안재료에 따른 지지력과 비교하였다. 그 결과 한강을 운항하는 선박들이 호안에 미치는 외력은 허용지지력보다 매우 작은 값으로 판단되므로 호안은 항주파에 대해서는 안정하다고 판단할 수 있으나 소류력 등의 다른 외력과 동시에 작용할 경우소류력 등의 다른 외력과 동시에 작용할 경우에는 복합적인 외력을 고려해야 할 것이다.

A new method of dynamic contact force measurement between a pantograph and a contact wire is proposed in this paper The method does not require design modification of an original pantograph in order to install sensors such as load cells. Contact forces can be expressed as the sum of vertical shear forces at the support points and inertial forces. Using specially-designed strain gage rosettes. vertical shear forces at the supported points can be measured without noise mixing and thermal effects. In order to obtain contact forces from shear forces, 3 inertial force compansation methods are proposed and compared in this paper. By validation process, the new proposed measurement method is verified to be applicable to the on-line current collection test.

Objective: To investigate the three-dimensional forces created by clear aligners on mandibular teeth during differential activation with en-masse retraction and/or intrusion in vitro. Methods: Six sets of clear aligners were designed for differential en-masse retraction and/or intrusion procedures in a first premolar extraction model. Group A0 was a control group with no activation. Groups A1-5 underwent different degrees of retractions and/or intrusions. Each group consisted of 10 aligners. Aligner forces were measured on a multi-axis force/torque transducer measurement system in real-time. Results: In the en-masse retraction groups (A1 and A2), lingual and extrusive forces were observed on the incisors; the canines mainly received distal forces; intrusive forces were seen on the second premolars; and the molars received mesial forces. In the en-masse retraction and intrusion groups (A3, A4, and A5), incisors also received lingual and extrusive forces; canines received distal and intrusive forces; mesial and extrusive forces were seen on the second premolars; and the second molars received distal and intrusive forces. The vertical forces on the incisors did not differ significantly among groups A1, A3, and A5. However, the vertical forces on the second premolars reversed from intrusion in group A1 to extrusion in groups A3 and A5. Conclusions: With clear aligners, the "bowing effect" is seen during en-masse anterior teeth retraction and can be partially relieved by performing en-masse retraction accompanied by anterior teeth intrusion. Vertical control of incisors remained unsolved during en-masse retraction, even when intrusive activation was added to the anterior teeth.

본 논문에서 취급한 계산모델 및 계산조건하에서 얻어진 주요한 결론은 다음과 같다. (1) 다방향 불규칙파중에서 TLP에 작용하는 파강제력 및 정상표류력의 유의치를 구할 수 있는 프로그램을 개발하였다. (2) 한방향파중에서 파강제력 및 정상표류력이 큰 모-드에 대해서는 다방향파의 영향으로 감소하는 경향을 보이고, 한방향파중에서 작은 모-드에 대해서는 다방향파의 영향이 무시할 수 없을 정도로 나타났다. (3) 다방향파의 상호작용에 의해 실해역을 재현할 수 있으며, 다방향파의 영향으로 최대 파강제력 및 정상표류력의 크기가 감소한다는 결과에 따라 다방향파의 영향을 고려하면 보다 현실적인 결과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Objective:The aims of this study are to understand the effects of task (pushing, pulling, and clockwise and counter clockwise twisting) direction on the maximal output and their grip forces and to explore the relationship between the maximal output and the grip forces. Background: Knowing the normative maximal grip force is not enough to design a good hand tool. The industrial designers should understand the required grip forces in various motions toward a specific direction to make an effective and efficient hand tool. Method: Eighteen healthy volunteers participated in the series of isometric maximal output force tests. A custom-made force measuring equipment collected the output and the grip forces for three seconds. Force measurements along the vertical, coronal and sagittal axes were randomly repeated three times. Results: The pulling was strongest and the pushing was weakest in all directions. The effect of motion on the output forces varied in different directions. The corresponding grip force increased in the order of pushing, pulling, clockwise twisting, and counter clockwise twisting in all directions. The maximal output and their grip forces were highly correlated but the relationship was affected by motion and direction. The regression coefficient was greatest in pulling and smallest in clockwise twisting. Conclusion: The effect of motion on the output forces varied in different directions. The maximal output and their grip forces were correlated but the relationship was affected by motion and direction. Application: Findings of this study can be valuable information for industrial designers to develop more productive hand tools and work stations to help preventing the musculoskeletal disorders at work.

Threshing operation is performed by impact, compression and friction forces inside the thresher. These values should be appropriate to the crop condition to enhance the threshing and separating efficiency and to decrease the grain damage. To analyze the threshing process inside the rasp-bar type thresher, impact, friction and compression forces were measured using transducers with strain gage circuits. To measure the impact forces and friction forces between the rasp-bar and crop, full bridge strain gage circuit was built on the rasp-bar holder. To measure the compression forces and circumferential friction forces between the concave and crop, two sets of full bridge strain gage circuits were built on the T-type concave transducer. Threshing work of wheat crop with 12% of moisture content was performed at 3 levels of compression ratio and with 3 replications. Each transducer could not measure the exact forces continuously because the transducer oscillates with the forces. However they could measure maximum forces and force distribution according to the time. Average friction coefficients between crop and concave was 0.61 not showing any significant difference according to the compression ratio. Average acceleration of the crop in the cylinder appeared from $70.6m/s^2$ to $140.8m/s^2$ according to the compression ratio. The velocity of the crop at the exit of the cylinder appeared from 10.7m/s to 15.0m/s according to the compression ratio.

Since inappropriate muscle forces mean that people cannot perform some activities related to roles of the muscle, muscle forces have been considered as an important parameter in clinic. Therefore, many methods have been introduced to estimate muscle forces indirectly. One of the methods is muscle tissue dynamics and it is widely used in commercial softwares including musculoskeletal model, such as SIMM. They, however, need motion data captured from 3-dimensional motion analysis system. In this study, we introduced an algorithm to estimate muscle forces in real-time by using joint angles. The heel-rise movements were performed for a normal with 3-dimensional motion analysis system, EMG measurement system, and electrogoniometers. Joint angles obtained from electrogoniometers and EMG signals were used to estimate muscle forces. Simulation was performed to find muscle forces using motion data which was imported into musculoskeletal software. As the results, muscle lengths and forces from the developed algorithm were similar to those from commercial software in pattern. Results of this study would be helpful to implement a tool to calculate reasonable muscle forces in real-time.

This study was performed to evaluate the initial reaction of maxillofacial complex to the Class II intermaxillary and the anterior vertical elastic forces on the six types of archwires including multiloop edgewise arch wires(MEAW). A human dry skull was used for this purpose and this investigation was done by holographic interferometry. Based on such investigation, the fringe pattern and the number of fringes of each condition were compared and analyzed. The findings of this study were as follows: 1. As the orthodontic forces increased, the amount of displacement increased. 2. As the orthodontic forces were applied, the fringes were shown not only in the teeth and the maxilla but also in the adjacent bones, i.e., temporal bone, zygomatic bone, nasal bone, frontal bone and sphenoid bone. And the direction of fringe pattern and the number of fringes were different from each other by the sutures. 3. As the long Class II elastic forces were applied, the backward-downward displacements of the anterior teeth and the maxilla were shown, and backward displacement of the former were grater than those of the latter. And backward displacements were greater by the long Class II elastic forces than by the short Class II elastic forces. 4. As the anterior vertical elastic forces were applied, downward displacements of the anterior teeth and the maxilla were shown, and the downward displacements of the former were greater than those of the latter relatively. 5. The downward displacements of the anterior area to the anterior vertical elastic forces of the MEAW were greater than those of other archwires. In addition, the more tip-back bend was applied, the more displacement was seen. 6. As the Class II intermaxillary forces and the enough anterior vertical elastic forces were applied on the MEAW with tip-back bend, there was an intrusive effect of the posterior teeth.

A method for actively controlling dynamic reaction forces in flexible structures subject to persistent excitations is presented. Since reaction forces are not directly measured in flexible structures, reaction forces are estimated by using the Kalman filter. The estimated reaction force is used as an error signal in the adaptive feedforward disturbance cancellation controller. In order to compensate the static effect of the truncated modes in the reaction forces, the residual flexibility matrix is used with the Kalman filter. The paper presents the formulation of the reaction forces in conjunction with the Kalman filter estimator and the adaptive feedforward controller. The results show that the dynamic reaction forces at its supports in a flexible beam test rir are well suppressed.
