  • 식도암은 병변의 길이가 길고 깊이의 불균질성으로 인하여 방사선의 균일한 선량분포를 얻기 어렵다. 이러한 문제점을 개선해 보고자 Half beam 법을 이용하여 선량분포의 균질성을 극복해 보고자 환자의 영상을 바탕으로 하여 Normal beam과 Half beam을 이용하여 각각 치료계획을 세워 표적체적포함율과 선량체적곡선, 일치성지수와 균질성지수를 상호 비교하고, 인접정상장기인 심장, 척수, 폐를 비교해 보고자 한다. 실험결과 Half beam을 이용한 치료계획이 표적체적포함율과 선량체적곡선 그리고 일치성지수와 균질성지수가 우수하였으며 정상조직 보호측면에서도 미미하지만 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 정확한 환자자세가 확보되지 않으면 부작용이 발생할 수 있다. 따라서, 기하학적으로 정확한 환자의 위치잡이를 수반한 Half beam의 적용은 선량적으로 유용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • 목 적 : FFF(Flatterning Filter Free)빔을 이용한 방사선치료계획 시 불균질 부위에서 TPS상의 선량분포와 실제측정 선량분포를 비교하여 TPS의 선량계산 알고리즘 AAA(Analytic anisotropic algorithm)의 불균질부 교정의 정확성을 검증하려한다. 대상 및 방법 : Solid water팬텀과 Cork, 파라핀으로 자체 제작한 흉부종양팬텀을 이용하여 종양의 위치별(반도형태/섬형태), 크기별 ($2cm{\time}2cm{\time}2cm/4cm{\time}4cm{\time}4cm$)로 각각 치료계획용 CT영상을 획득한 후, 본원의 흉부 SABR 치료계획시스템인 Ecilpse의 AAA(Analytic anisotropic algorithm)을 이용하여 6MV 광자선 치료계획을 수립하였다. 본원의 TrueBeam STx(Varian medical system, Palo Alto, CA)를 이용하여 완성된 치료계획에 따라 EBT2 필름을 삽입한 자체제작 흉부종양팬텀에 방사선을 조사하였고, 종양내부 및 경계부에서의 치료계획 선량값과 실제팬텀측정 선량값을 비교 평가 해보았다. 결 과 : 타겟내 중심측에서는 TPS상의 선량값과 측정값의 차이가 1.28~2.7%로 나타났으며, 불균질부를 포함한 타겟의 경계부들에서는 Ant측면에서 2.02%~7.40%, Post측면 4.46%~14.84%, Rt측면 0.98%~7.12%, Lt측면 1.36%~4.08%, Sup측면 2.38%~4.98%, Inf측면 0.94%~3.54%로 차이가 났다. 결 론 : 본 연구를 통하여 불균질부 SABR치료 시 FFF빔의 특성과 불균질부의 영향으로 인한 선량계산의 오차가 생길 가능성이 있음을 알게 되었다. 최신의 방사선 치료방법 중 가장 각광받고 있는 SABR치료는 환자에게 적은 횟수로 고선량의 방사선을 조사하기 때문에 고도의 정확성이 요구되는 만큼 불균질부와 같은 장기특성과 FFF빔의 선량분포의 특성을 더욱 연구하여 치료계획 알고리즘에 적용해야 치료계획 시 발생하는 오류를 최소화 하여 최적의 치료를 시행할 수 있을 것이다.

  • Ultrasonic inspection of austenitic steel weldments is a truly difficult task due to complicated wave propagation phenomena such as beam skewing, splitting and distortion. In order to understand these phenomena and design proper inspection procedures, simulation is increasingly paid more attention to. This article addresses a ray tracing based approach to determine incident angle and position of optimal wave mode ultrasonic beam for flaw detection in anisotropic and inhomogeneous austenitic steel weldments. Specially, the optimal mode of ultrasonic wave wave is selected by ray tracing simulation, and an optimization approach based on ray tracing and bi-section search is proposed in order to find the ray path connecting two given points in weldments. With help of this approach, the optimal incident angle and position of ultrasonic beam can be determined for a given flaw position.

  • In the current study, the nonlinear impact of the Von-Kármán theory on the vibrational response of nonhomogeneous structures of functionally graded (FG) nano-scale tubes is investigated according to the nonlocal theory of strain gradient theory as well as high-order Reddy beam theory. The inhomogeneous distributions of temperature-dependent material consist of ceramic and metal phases in the radial direction of the tube structure, in which the thermal stresses are applied due to the temperature change in the thickness of the pipe structure. The general motion equations are derived based on the Hamilton principle, and eventually, the acquired equations are solved and modeled by the Meshless approach as well as a computer simulation via intelligent mathematical methodology. The attained results are helpful to dissect the stability of the MEMS and NEMS.

  • Delamination of multilayered inhomogeneous beam that exhibits non-linear relaxation behavior is analyzed in the present paper. The layers are inhomogeneous in the thickness direction. The dealamination crack is located symmetrically with respect to the mid-span. The relaxation is treated by applying a non-linear stress-straintime constitutive relation. The material properties which are involved in the constitutive relation are distributed continuously along the thickness direction of the layer. The delamination is analyzed by applying the J-integral approach. A time-dependent solution to the J-integral that accounts for the non-linear relaxation behavior is derived. The delamination is studied also in terms of the time-dependent strain energy release rate. The balance of the energy is analyzed in order to obtain a non-linear time-dependent solution to the strain energy release rate. The fact that the strain energy release rate is identical with the J-integral value proves the correctness of the non-linear solutions derived in the present paper. The variation of the J-integral value with time due to the non-linear relaxation behavior is evaluated by applying the solution derived.

  • This paper is focused on the delamination analysis of a multilayered beam structure loaded in torsion under strain-path control. The beam under consideration has a rectangular cross-section. The layers of the beam are made of different viscoelastic materials which exhibit continuous inhomogeneity in longitudinal direction. Since the delamination is located inside the beam structure, the torsion moments in the two crack arms are obtained by modeling the beam as an internally static undetermined structure. The strain energy stored in the beam is analyzed in order to derive the strain energy release rate (SERR). Since the delamination is located inside the beam, the delamination has two tips. Thus, solutions of the SERR are obtained for both tips. The solutions are verified by analyzing the beam compliance. Delamination analysis with bending-torsion coupling is also performed. The solutions derived are timedependent due to two factors. First, the beam has viscoelastic behavior and, second, the angle of twist of the beam-free end induced by the external torsion moment changes with time according to a law that is fixed in advance.

  • Contact interaction of a beam (flexible element) with an elastic half-plane is considered, when a soft inhomogeneous (functionally graded) interlayer is present between them. The beam is bent under the action of a distributed load applied to the surface and a reaction of the elastic interlayer and the half-space. Solution of the contact problem is obtained for different values of thickness and parameters of inhomogeneity of the layer. The interlayer is assumed to be significantly softer than the underlying half-plane; case of 100 times difference in Young's moduli is considered as an example. The influence of the interlayer thickness and gradient of elastic properties on the distribution of the contact stresses under the beam is studied.

  • The purpose of this study is directly measure and evaluate about absorbed dose change according to nominal energy and electron cone or medical accelerator on isodose curve, percentage depth dose, contaminated X-ray, inhomogeneous tissue, oblique surface and irradiation on intracavitary that electron beam with high energy distributed in tissue, and it settled standard data of hish energy electron beam treatment, and offer to exactly data for new dote distribution modeling study based on experimental resuls and theory. Electron beam with hish energy of $6{\sim}20$ MeV is used that generated from medical linear accelerator (Clinac 2100C/D, Varian) for the experiment, andwater phantom and Farmer chamber md Markus chamber und for absorbe d dose measurement of electron beam, and standard absorbed dose is calculated by standard measurements of International Atomic Energy Agency(IAEA) TRS 277. Dose analyzer (700i dose distribution analyzer, Wellhofer), film (X-OmatV, Kodak), external cone, intracavitary cone, cork, animal compact bone and air were used for don distribution measurement. As the results of absorbed dose ratio increased while irradiation field was increased, it appeared maximum at some irradiation field size and decreased though irradiation field size was more increased, and it decreased greatly while energy of electron beam was increased, and scattered dose on wall of electron cone was the cause. In percentage depth dose curve of electron beam, Effective depth dose(R80) for nominal energy of 6, 9, 12, 16 and 20 MeV are 1.85, 2.93, 4.07, 5.37 and 6.53 cm respectively, which seems to be one third of electron beam energy (MeV). Contaminated X-ray was generated from interaction between electron beam with high energy and material, and it was about $0.3{\sim}2.3\%$ of maximum dose and increased with increasing energy. Change of depth dose ratio of electron beam was compared with theory by Monte Carlo simulation, and calculation and measured value by Pencil beam model reciprocally, and percentage depth dose and measured value by Pencil beam were agreed almost, however, there were a little lack on build up area and error increased in pendulum and multi treatment since there was no contaminated X-ray part. Percentage depth dose calculated by Monte Carlo simulation appeared to be less from all part except maximum dose area from the curve. The change of percentage depth dose by inhomogeneous tissue, maximum range after penetration the 1 cm bone was moved 1 cm toward to surface then polystyrene phantom. In case of 1 cm and 2 cm cork, it was moved 0.5 cm and 1 cm toward to depth, respectively. In case of air, practical range was extended toward depth without energy loss. Irradiation on intracavitary is using straight and beveled type cones of 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 $cm{\phi}$, and maximum and effective $80\%$ dose depth increases while electron beam energy and size of electron cone increase. In case of contaminated X-ray, as the energy increase, straight type cones were more highly appeared then beveled type. The output factor of intracavitary small field electron cone was $15{\sim}86\%$ of standard external electron cone($15{\times}15cm^2$) and straight type was slightly higher then beveled type.
