Screw loosening and subsequent pullout can be attributed to the reduction in bone mineral density in the vertebrae manifested by osteoporosis in which the decrease in fixation strength between the cancellous bone and screw threads are accelerated by repeated loads exerted by patients own weight and activities following the surgery. In this study, the change in pullout strength of the pedicle screws was investigated before and after repeated loads were imparted. For this purpose. Diapason pedicle screws $(6.7\times40mm)$ were inserted onto fresh porcine spine specimens (T1-L5) after bone mineral density was measured using a DEXA. With an MTS, an axial load was applied at a loading rate of 0.33mm/sec until failure to measure the maximum pullout strength. Flexion moment of 7.5N-m was then imparted at 0.5Hz for 2000 cycles. It was found that the maximum pullout strength was exponentially related to BMD regardless of load types ($107.71\;\times\;\exp^{(1.43{\times}BMD)}r^2=0.93$, P<0.0001 without repeated load; ($107.71\;\times\;\exp^{(2.19{\times}BMD)}r^2=0.78$, P<0.0001 with repeated load). The results suggest that the reduction in pullout strength for pedicle screws is far more prominent in osteoporotic spine than in normal spine especially as number of repeated load was increased. More importantly, it was demonstrated that the level of bone mineral density and the activity level of the patient should be evaluated in more detail for successful implementation of pedicle screw systems in spinal surgery.

Resonant converters are well suited for induction heating (IH) applications due to their advantages such as efficiency and power density. The control systems of these appliances should provide smooth and wide power control with fewer losses. In this paper, a simple phase locked loop (PLL) based variable duty cycle (VDC) pulse density modulation (PDM) power control scheme for use in class-D inverters for IH loads is proposed. This VDC PDM control method provides a wide power control range. This control scheme also achieves stable and efficient Zero-Voltage-Switching (ZVS) operation over a wide load range. Analysis and modeling of an IH load is done to perform a time domain simulation. The design and output power analysis of a class-D inverter are done for both the conventional pulse width modulation (PWM) and the proposed PLL based VDC PDM methods. The control principles of the proposed method are described in detail. The validity of the proposed control scheme is verified through MATLAB simulations. The PLL loop maintains operation closer to the resonant frequency irrespective of variations in the load parameters. The proposed control scheme provides a linear output power variation to simplify the control logic. A prototype of the class-D inverter system is implemented to validate the simulation results.

본 연구는 학교 교실의 재실자밀도 기준에 대하여 학생 수 감소현상 및 지역별 편차 등에 의한 문제에 대응하기 위하여 기준의 적정성을 고찰하였다. 이에 교육부에서 제공하는 공시자료를 이용하여 유치원, 초등학교, 중학교, 고등학교 및 대학교 등에 대한 재실자밀도 기준을 분석하였다. 조사 결과, 학교 유형별로 데이터의 편차가 높게 나타났으며, 이에 중앙값을 나타내면 유치원($1.49m^2$/인), 초등학교($3.45m^2$/인), 중학교($2.64m^2$/인), 고등학교($2.45m^2$/인) 및 대학교 등($3.41m^2$/인)이 나타났다. 유치원을 제외한 재실자밀도 수치는 현 기준($1.9m^2$/인)보다 높은 것으로 나타났지만 최대 재실인원 산정의 목적을 고려하면 현재 기준은 즉시 개선은 필요하지 않은 것으로 판단되었다. 다만, 국가 교육정책의 개선 등의 영향에 따라 향후 개선을 한다면 조사결과를 토대로 $2.5m^2$/인으로 완화가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Sandwich structure is widely used in various fields of industry due to its excellent strength and stiffness compared with weight. We studied the buckling and bending behavior with respect to the variation of design parameters such as length, height, and thickness of honeycomb sandwich core. We found that as the density and the thickness of core become higher, the value of critical bucking load increased significantly. We found that the effect of bending stress due to critical buckling load resulted in high bending stress and the value of bending stress decreased in half according to the increase of length of core. The effect by bending stress is dominant above the portion of the intersection line between bending stress and the effect of buckling is dominant below the potion of it. We could get proper thickness ratio and density of core according to applied load conditions.

The cooling of data centers has emerged as a significant challenge as the density of IT equipment increased. With the rapid increasing of heat load and cooling system, predictions for electronics power trends have been closely watched. A data center power density projection is needed so that IT organizations can develop data centers with adequate cooling for reasonable lifetimes. This paper will discuss the need for something more than processor and equipment power trend projections which have overestimated the required infrastructure for customers. This projection will use data from a survey of actual enterprise data centers and the ASHRAE projections to formulate a data center server heat load trend projection.

This paper presents a method to calculate a sag cumulative table and density table based on the area of vulnerability to voltage sags. The expected sag performance at sensitive load points can be easily assessed through the calculation of the sag cumulative table and density table. However, the calculation of the tables regarding large power systems is very difficult task. Therefore, an efficient method for calculating the tables is needed. In this paper, the improved method to determine the areas of vulnerability is addressed and the method to calculate the tables based on the area of vulnerability is also described. The proposed scheme can be efficiently used to assess the voltage sag performance at sensitive load points in large power systems.

In this work, effects of hyper-elastic rubber material properties on the indentation load-deflection curve and subindenter deformation are first examined via [mite element (FE) analyses. An optimal data acquisition spot is selected, which features maximum strain energy density and negligible frictional effect. We then contrive two normalized functions. which map an indentation load vs. deflection curve into a strain energy density vs. first invariant curve. From the strain energy density vs. first invariant curve, we can extract the rubber material properties. This new spherical indentation approach produces the rubber material properties in a manner more effective than the common uniaxial tensile/compression tests. The indentation approach successfully measures the rubber material properties and the corresponding nominal stress.strain curve with an average error less than 3%.

해상구조물을 지지하는 말뚝기초는 바람, 조류, 파랑 등의 영향으로 횡방향 반복하중을 지배적으로 받는다. 본 연구에서는 횡방향 반복하중이 말뚝의 횡방향 극한지지력에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여, 서로 다른 세 가지 상대밀도(40%, 70%, 90%)로 조성된 모래지반에서 모형말뚝시험을 수행하였다. 상대밀도 40%로 조성 된 모래지반에서는 횡방향 반복재하 시 말뚝 주변 지반이 조밀해짐에 따라 횡방향 극한지지력이 증가하였다. 반면, 상대밀도 70%와 90%로 조성 된 모래지반에서는 횡방향 반복재하 시 말뚝 주변 지반의 교란효과로 인하여 횡방향 극한지지력이 감소하였다. 이러한 횡방향 극한지지력의 증가 및 감소효과는 횡방향 반복하중의 크기가 커질수록 더욱 명확하게 나타났으며, 모래지반의 포화 여부에는 큰 영향을 받지 않았다. 모형시험 결과를 활용하여 모래지반의 상대밀도, 횡방향 반복하중의 크기에 따른 말뚝의 횡방향 극한지지력 산정 식을 제안하였고, 이를 횡방향 반복하중을 지배적으로 받는 말뚝의 설계 시 활용 가능하도록 하였다.

The objective of this study is to evaluate a criteria of intercepting capacity and a reduction goal of overflow pollution load in combined sewer system. In the current criteria of intercepting capacity in the domestic sewage facility standard, it is known that three times of peak sewage (Q) in dry period or runoff flow by 2mm/hr is not appropriate since the intercepted flow is estimated by runoff and show different result even in the same watershed. Though a reduction goal of overflow pollution load can be determined from 1) same level of storm-water runoff pollution load in separated storm sewer, 2) less than 5% sewage load in dry weather period, by the domestic sewage facility standard, the simulated results from storm-water model show large differences between two criteria. While it is predicted that sewage pollution load standard three time larger than separated storm sewer standard in high population density and urbanized area, it is shown that separate storm sewer standard larger than sewage pollution load standard in middle population density and developing area. Accordingly, it is proposed that more reasonable intercepting flow and reduction goal of overflows pollution load should be established to minimize discharging pollution load in combined sewer systems. For the purpose, a resonable standard has to be amended by pollution load balance considering the characteristics of a watershed for generation, collection, treatment, and discharging flow.
