PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to compare mechanical and physical properties of injection-molded thermoplastic denture base resins. MATERIALS AND METHODS. In this study, six commercially available products (VA; Valplast, LC; Lucitone, ST; Smiltone, ES; Estheshot-Bright, AC; Acrytone, WE; Weldenz) were selected from four types of thermoplastic denture base materials (Polyamide, Polyester, Acrylic resin and Polypropylene). The flexural properties and shore D hardness have been investigated and water sorption and solubility, and color stability have evaluated. RESULTS. For the flexural modulus value, ES showed the highest value and WE showed significantly lower value than all other groups (P<.05). Most of experimental groups showed weak color stability beyond the clinically acceptable range. CONCLUSION. Within the limits of this study, thermoplastic denture base resin did not show sufficient modulus to function as a denture base. In addition, all resins showed discoloration with clinical significance, and especially polyamides showed the lowest color stability.

The present paper attempts to investigate the propagation of plane waves in an isotropic elastic medium under the effect of initial stress and temperature-dependent properties. The modulus of elasticity is taken as a linear function of the reference temperature. The formulation is applied under the thermoelasticity theory with dual-phase-lag; the normal mode analysis is used to obtain the expressions for the displacement components, the temperature, the stress, and the strain components. Numerical results for the field quantities are given in the physical domain and illustrated graphically. Comparisons are made with the results predicted by different theories (Lord-Shulman theory, the classical coupled theory of thermoelasticity and the dual-phase-lag model) in the absence and presence of the initial stress as well as the case where the modulus of elasticity is independent of temperature.

Average aggregate size in particulate suspensions is estimated with scaling theories based on fractal concept and elasticity of colloidal gel. The scaling theories are used to determine structure parameters of the aggregates, i.e., fractal dimension and power-law exponent for aggregate size reduction with shear stress using scaling behavior of elastic modulus and shear yield stress as a function of particle concentration. The structure parameters are utilized to predict aggregate size which varies with shear stress through rheological modeling. Experimentally rheological measurement is conducted for aqueous suspension of zinc oxide particles with average diameter of 110 nm. The predicted aggregate size is about 1135 nm at 1 s^-1 and 739 nm at 1000 s^-1 on the average over the particle concentrations. It has been found that the predicted aggregate size near 0.1 s^-1 agrees with that the measured one by a dynamic light scattering analyzer operated un-sheared.

The effect of fumed silica loading on the thermal stability and mechanical properties of fluorosilicone (FVMQ) rubber was investigated. The distribution of fumed silica inside FVMQ was characterized using scanning electron microscopy, and the thermal stability of composites was evaluated using thermogravimetric analysis and by the changes in mechanical performance during thermo-oxidative aging. The function mechanism of fumed silica was studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results show that with increasing silica content, the crosslink density of composites, the modulus at 100%, and tensile strength also increased, whereas the elongation at break decreased. Furthermore, increasing the silica content of composites increased the initial decomposition temperature (T_d) and residual weight of the composite after exposure to nitrogen. In addition, the thermal oxidative aging experiment demonstrated improved aging resistance of the FVMQ composites, including lower change in tensile strength, elongation at break, and modulus at 100%.

This paper investigates the dynamic response of a functionally graded material (FGM) coated half-plane excited by distributed time harmonic loading. Three types of typical distributed surface loads, including uniform load, Hertz load, and square-root singular load, are considered. The mass density and elastic modulus of the FGM coating are supposed to be described by the exponential function. The material damping is modelled by a linearly hysteretic damping which is expressed by a complex modulus in the time harmonic motion. Using Fourier integral transform technique and numerical integral method, the effects of the excitation frequency, gradient index, damping, and load type on the dynamic stresses and displacements are discussed.

잠재성 경화제인 N-benzylpyrazinium hexafluoroantimonate(BPH)를 Cycloaliphatic계 에폭시 (CAE)/DGEBA계 에폭시의 혼합물에 1 mol% 첨가 시킨 후 혼합 조성비에 따른 유변학적 특성과 경화 동력학에 대해 연구하였다. 잠재특성은 등온 DSC를 이용하여 각각 $150^{\circ}C$와 $50^{\circ}C$의 반응 온도에 대한시간의 함수로서 전화량을 구하여 측정하였다. 블렌드 시스템의 유변학적 특성은 레오미터를 사용한 등온 실험을 통하여 storage modulus (G'), loss modulus (G") 그리고 damping factor (tan$\delta$)를 구한 후 이들 데이터로부터 겔화 시간을 측정하였다. 겔화 시간과 경화 온도를 Arrenius equation에 적용시킨 결과 가교 활성화 에너지 ($E_c$)를 구할 수 있었으며 겔화 시간과 활성화 에너지 모두 DGEBA의 함량이 증가할수록 증가하였다. 경화 활성화 에너지 ($E_a$)를 동적 DSC를 이용하여 Kissinger method에 의해 구하였는데 활성화 에너지는 CAE의 함량이 증가할수록 감소함으로써 높은 반응성을 나타내었는데, 이는 짧은 반복 단위와 단순한 곁사슬기 그리고 반응 매질 내의 점도 등에 기인한다.기인한다.

Objective To evaluate the influence of water storage on the mechanical properties of dental adhesives over 1 and 3 months. Materials and Methods Adhesive resin sheets were prepared by pouring either All-bond 2(AB), Clearfil SE Bond(SE) into a mold measuring $15{\times}15{\times}0.9mm$. After solvent in primer evaporation, the adhesives were light-cured and removed from the mold and divided in two pieces, trimmed to hourglass shape that were used to determine the micro-tensile strength(MTS). Another hourglass shaped metal mold measuring $2.0{\times}1.5mm$ in cross-section area was made to determine the Young's modulus(E). Adhesive specimens for Young's modulus(E) were prepared in the same method. Specimens were stored at $37^{\circ}C$ in distilled water and tested after 1 and 3 months. The data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Tukey's test. Results Water storage significantly decreased the micro-tensile strength(MTS) of AB and SE specimens after 1 and 3 months(P<0.05). The Young's modulus(E) were also decreased after water storage for 1 and 3 months, but statistically not significant in each group of AB and SE group respectively. Conclusions Long-term exposure of adhesive resin to water can cause reduction of mechanical properties. It may compromise resin/dentin bonds and affect longevity of restorations.

PURPOSES : The objective of this study is to develop a simple regression model in designing the asphalt concrete (AC) overlay thickness using the Mechanistic-empirical pavement design guide (MEPDG) program. METHODS : To establish the AC overlay design equation, multiple regression analyses were performed based on the synthetic database for AC thickness design, which was generated using the MEPDG program. The climate in Seoul city, a modified Hirsh model for determining dynamic modulus of asphalt material, and a new damaged master curve approach were used in this study. Meanwhile, the proposed rutting model developed in Seoul city was then used to calibrate the rutting model in the MEPDG program. The AC overlay design equation is a function of the total AC thickness, the ratio of AC overlay thickness and existing AC thickness, the ratio of existing AC modulus and AC overlay modulus, the subgrade condition, and the annual average daily truck traffic (AADTT). RESULTS : The regression model was verified by comparing the predicted AC thickness, the AADTT from the model and the MEPDG. The regression model shows a correlation coefficient of 0.98 in determining the AC thickness and 0.97 in determining AADTT. In addition, the data in Seoul city was used to validate the regression model. The result shows that correlation coefficient between the predicted and measured AADTT is 0.64. This indicates that the current model is more accuracy than the previous study which showed a correlation coefficient of 0.427. CONCLUSIONS:The high correlation coefficient values indicate that the regression equations can predict the AC thickness accurately.

본 논문에서는 기존 MMA 적응 등화 알고리즘의 안정성과 낮은 신호대 잡음비에서 robustness를 개선하기 위해 adaptive modulus와 miniumum-disturbance 기법을 적용한 AM-SCS-MMA (Adaptive Modulus-Soft Constraint Satisfaction-MMA) 알고리즘의 성능을 해석하였다. AM-SCS-MMA는 적응 등화를 비용 함수를 최소화하기 위해 adaptive modulus와 기존의 LMS 나 gradient descent algorithm 대신 deterministic optimization problem의 minimum-disturbance 기법을 적용하여 탭 계수를 갱신하므로서 채널에서 발생되는 진폭과 위상 찌그러짐에 의한 부호간 간섭을 동시에 줄이면서 등화 필터의 안정성 및 다양한 잡음에 대한 roburstness를 개선시킬 수 있다. 이의 개선 성능을 확인하기 위해 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며 등화기 출력 성상도, 잔류 isi, MSE와 채널 추적 능력을 나타내는 EMSE (Excess MSE) 및 SER을 적용하였다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션의 결과 AM-SCS-MMA는 MMA보다 잔류 isi와 MSE에서는 수렴 속도는 늦지만 정상 상태 이후 잔여량이 감소되고 열악한 신호대 잡음비에서 robustness가 있었지만, 채널 추적 능력에서는 열화됨을 확인하였다.
