In this study, limestone powder (LS) and fly ash (FA) were used as powder materials in self-compacting concrete (SCC) in increasing quantities in addition to cement, so that the two powders commonly used in the production of SCC could be compared in the same study. Considering the reduction of the maximum aggregate size in SCC, 10 mm or 16 mm was selected as the coarse aggregate size. The properties of fresh concrete were determined by slump flow (including T₅₀₀ time), V-funnel and J-ring experiments. The experimental results showed that as the amount of both LS and FA increased, the slump flow also increased. The increase in powder material had a negative effect on V-funnel flow times, causing it to increase; however, the increase in FA concretes was smaller compared to LS ones. The increase in the powder content reduced the amount of blockage in the J-ring test for both aggregate sizes. As the hardened concrete properties, the compressive and splitting strengths as well as the modulus of elasticity were determined. Longitudinal and transverse deformations were measured by attaching a special frame to the cylindrical specimens and the values of Poisson's ratio, initiation and critical stresses were obtained. Despite having a similar W/C ratio, all SCC exhibited higher compressive strength than NVC. Compressive strength increased with increasing powder content for both LS and FA; however, the increase of the FA was higher than the LS due to the pozzolanic effect. SCC with a coarse aggregate size of 16 mm showed higher strength than 10 mm for both powders. Similarly, the modulus of elasticity increased with the amount of powder material. Inelastic properties, which are rarely found in the literature for SCC, were determined by measuring the initial and critical stresses. Crack formation in SCC begins under lower stresses (corresponding to lower initial stresses) than in normal concretes, while critical stresses indicate a more brittle behavior by taking higher values.

Woody breast (WB) is one of muscle myopathy found in chicken breast, characterized with enlarged size and extremely stiff texture. The WB condition is one of the most prevalent quality issues in the modern poultry industry. WB has been shown to be heritable, but no effective detection method of WB severity in live birds exists for the selection purpose. The objective of this study was to determine potential of a non-invasive, portable digital palpation device as WB detection method that can be used for the selection to estimate the heritability of WB. The physical and functional properties of WB was also investigated in comparison with normal breast (NB). Two hundred ten breast muscles were obtained from a local processing plant one day after harvest and sorted based on WB scoring (1 for NB and 2 and 3 for WB). The samples were subjected to physical and physicochemical analyses, determining biomechanical properties (muscle tone, stiffness, elasticity, relaxation, and creep), pH, color, cooking yield, and texture (firmness and compression energy were used for raw meat and shear force and energy for cooked meat). The least squares means of the following variables were significantly different between WB and NB (p < 0.01): stiffness (603.4 vs 565.8; N/m), and elasticity (1.40 vs 1.55). However, relaxation and creep were not significantly different (p > 0.05). These results collectively showed that biomechanical properties of WB differ from NB. The degree of muscle stiffness in WB can be considered as a trait to be selected. The WB score showed strong negative correlations with cooking yield (-0.77) and cooked L^*(-0.74), which means that as the breast becomes harder, the cooking yield decreases, and the color becomes darker after cooking. The WB score showed high correlations with physical and functional characteristics and exhibited strong correlations with the biomechanical properties measured by the device. Therefore, the results indicated that the digital palpation device has potential to detect the WB severity (degree of stiffness) of breast muscle.

잔골재 표준입도를 고려하여 조파쇄 바텀애시를 혼입한 일반강도 모르타르의 성능을 실험적으로 분석하였다. 비교군으로서, 파쇄하지 않은 일반 바텀애시를 천연잔골재와 단순 치환하여 사용하였다. 바텀애시를 결합재와 일반 잔골재 사이의 입도를 갖도록 굵게 파쇄할 경우, 입자의 흡수율 및 표건상태 비중이 일반 잔골재 수준으로 조절되었다. 잔골재 표준입도를 고려해 조파쇄 바텀애시를 혼입하는 방법은, 바텀애시 원재료를 일반 잔골재와 단순 치환하던 기존의 배합방법에서 발생하던 모르타르의 유동성 감소 및 강도 감소를 동시에 막을 수 있는 해법이 될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 조파쇄 바텀애시를 30% 이내로 모르타르에 혼입할 경우, 모르타르의 동탄성계수 및 건조수축은 일반골재 모르타르에 비해 크게 변화하지 않았다.

For the first time, the higher-order shear and normal deformable plate theory (HOSNDPT) is used for the vibration and flutter analyses of the multilayer functionally graded graphene platelets reinforced composite (FG-GPLRC) plates under supersonic airflow. For modeling the supersonic airflow, the linear piston theory is adopted. In HOSNDPT, Legendre polynomials are used to approximate the components of the displacement field in the thickness direction. So, all stress and strain components are encountered. Either uniform or three kinds of non-uniform distribution of graphene platelets (GPLs) into polymer matrix are considered. The Young modulus of the FG-GPLRC plate is estimated by the modified Halpin-Tsai model, while the Poisson ratio and mass density are determined by the rule of mixtures. The Hamilton's principle is used to obtain the governing equations of motion and the associated boundary conditions of the plate. For solving the plate's equations of motion, the Galerkin approach is applied. A comparison for the natural frequencies obtained based on the present investigation and those of three-dimensional elasticity theory shows a very good agreement. The flutter boundaries for FG-GPLRC plates based on HOSNDPT are described and the effects of GPL distribution patterns, the geometrical parameters and the weight fraction of GPLs on the flutter frequencies and flutter aerodynamic pressure of the plate are studied in detail. The obtained results show that by increasing 0.5% of GPLs into polymer matrix, the flutter aerodynamic pressure increases approximately 117%, 145%, 166% and 196% for FG-O, FG-A, UD and FG-X distribution patterns, respectively.

Purpose: The heel fat pad has a unique structure that is important for its shock absorbing function. Loss of elasticity and change in the thickness of the heel pad have been suggested as cause of heel pain. The present study shows the relationship between the thickness of heel fat pad and age, sex, obesity and plantar heel pain. Materials and Methods: A study of heel pad thickness using plain lateral radiographs, unloaded by body weight, was carried out on 66 patients with plantar heel pain and 326 normal subjects. The population was divided into two or three groups according to their age, sex, body mass index, and the presence of symptom. We evaluated the differences in heel pad thickness between groups, and the relationship between BMI and Sex and Age was also determined, using statistically analytic method by SPSS version 10.1 program. Results: Heel pad thickness was greater in the subject over 40 years old (p<0.001), and in the overweight (p<0.001), and male heel pad was thicker than female (p<0.001). But there was no statistically significant difference for heel pad thickness between normal subject and plantar heel pain group. Conclusion: In this study, we found that there is a relationship between heel pad thickness and age, sex, and obesity. But we could not show that the difference of heel pad thickness is contributing factor to plantar heel pain. Although it could not be proved statistically, we believe that a change of heel pad thickness play a role in the development of heel pain. So we are planning to assess a relationship of heel pad elasticity and thickness and plantar heel pain again with prospective study method on the basis of the results of this study.

Background and Objective : Increasing interest in anti-aging and anti-wrinkling agents for the skin has triggered the recent outflow of researches and studies in this field. This study was designed to investigate the effects of bee venom on skin wrinkling and skin aging by testing the skin wrinkling, skin elasticity, trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), free radical level, anti-oxidative agent level, and skin tissue after infusion of bee venom on hairless mouse. Materials and Methods : Fifteen hairless mice aged between 36~40 weeks were divided randomly into 3 Group; the Bee Venom Syringe Group, the Bee Venom Needle Group, and the control group. The Bee Venom Syringe Group were injected subcutaneously with bee venom (0.1cc in total) using an insulin syringe on three spots in the lumbar spine (one spot on the center and two spots 1~2cm to the side bilaterally). The Bee Venom Needle Group were pricked with bee venom-smeared acupuncture needles on three longitudinal spots in the lumbar spine each 1cm apart, after which the needles were removed 10 minutes later. The Control Group did not receive any form of intervention. All procedures took place thrice a week for four weeks, during which the mice were allowed free access to water and fodder. The mice were measured and compared in the weight, skin wrinkling scale, skin elasticity, and TEWL before and after the experiment. After the experiment, blood samples were taken to measure the free radical and anti-oxidative agent level, and the skin tissue was sliced for examination. Data was analyzed using the SPSS program (ver 12.0). The ANOVA analysis was used to compare and contrast the three groups, and t-test for paired samples was used to evaluate skin-wrinkling before and after experiment. The cut-off p-value of significance was set at p<0.05. Results : 1. Administration of bee venom did not cause serious weight loss or gain. 2. Compared to the control group, the Bee Venom Syringe Group and the Bee Venom Needle Group both showed a decrease in skin wrinkling scale after intervention. Especially, the Bee Venom Syringe Group showed a significant decrease (p<0.05). 3. Compared to the control group, the Bee Venom Syringe Group and the Bee Venom Needle Group both showed an increase in skin elasticity. Especially, the Bee Venom Syringe Group showed a significant increase (p<0.05). 4. No significant change in TEWL was found in the mice in all the three groups before and after experiment. 5. Free radical level was normal in all 15 mice in all the three groups, and anti-oxidative agent was not significantly different across the three groups. 6. The Bee Venom Syringe Group, the Bee Venom Needle Group, and the control group did not show any significant difference in the thickness of epidermis and dermis, infiltration of inflammatory cells, and skin wrinkling. The epidermis layer was relatively better preserved in the Bee Venom Syringe Group as compared to the Bee Venom Needle Group and the control group. Conclusion : Direct injection of bee venom on the hairless mouse using a syringe was found to improve wrinkling of the skin and increase skin elasticity but did not show effectiveness on skin dryness due to water loss. The bee venom appears to have suppressive effects on skin wrinkling, one of the symptoms of skin aging, through a process independent of suppression of free radicals or increase of anti-oxidative agent.

본 논문에서는 일차전단변형 평판 이론(FSDT)의 개선을 통한 복합재료 적층평판의 효율적 열응력 해석 기법을 제안한다. 횡방향 응력 성분에 대해서만 변분을 취하는 혼합변분이론(Mixed variational theorem)을 이용하여 횡방향 변형에너지를 개선하였다. 가정된 횡방향 전단응력 성분들은 효율적 고차이론으로부터 구하였으며, 면내 변위 성분들은 일차적층평판 이론의 변위장을 사용하였다. 또한, 열응력 해석에 있어서 횡방향 수직 변형을 효과적으로 고려하기 위해서 횡방향 수직 변위를 두께방향에 대하여 포물선으로 가정하였다. 이 과정을 통하여 얻어진 전단변형 에너지를 본 논문에서는 횡방향 수직 변형이 고려된 개선된 일차전단변형이론(EFSDTM_TN)이라고 명명하였다. 제안된 EFSDTM_TN은 복합재료 적층평판의 열탄성 거동을 해석함에 있어서 횡방향 수직 변형이 고려된 일차전단변형 평판 이론(FSDT_TN)과 비슷한 수준의 계산만을 필요로 하며, 동시에 후처리 과정을 통하여 열변형 및 열응력의 두께방향 분포를 정확하게 예측할 수 있도록 개선하였다. 계산된 결과는 FSDT_TN, 3차원 탄성해 등의 결과와 비교하여 검증하였다.

유공(有孔)보는 강재(鋼材)의 재료절감(材料節減)과 고층건물(高層建物)의 전체(全體) 높이를 절약(節約)할 수가 있다. Bower의 탄성이론(彈性理論) 해석(解析)과 Vierendeel 해석(解析)은 구멍 주위(周圍)의 수직응력(垂直應力)을 계산할 수 있으나, 이 해석들은 식의 복잡성과 적용의 한계가 문제되고 있다. 본(本) 연구(硏究)는 등계수요소(等係數要素)를 사용하고 구멍주위의 일부분만을 택하여 유한요소법(有限要素法)을 적용하여 보았다. 이 방법(方法)은 전술(前述)한 두 방법(方法)의 단점(短點)을 보완(補完)할 수 있고, 선형요소(線型要素)를 사용한 Samuel, Redwood 등의 유한요소법 보다 작은수의 요소를 사용하여도 구멍의 국부응력집중(局部應力集中)을 잘 표현할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 유한요소법(有限要素法)을 사용하여 모멘트, 전단력 그리고 구멍의 편심(偏心) 등이 구멍 주위의 수직응력(垂直應力)에 어떠한 변화를 주는가를 알아 보았다. 전단력(剪斷力)과 구멍깊이의 변화가 구멍주위의 응력(應力)에 비교적 큰 영향(影響)을 미치고 있고, 이에 비하여 편심(偏心)의 영향은 작음을 알 수 있다. 각 경우(境遇)에 대해 유한요소법(有限要素法)을 이용(利用)하여 얻은 자료(資料)를 중회귀분석(中回歸分析)을 실시하여 회귀계수(回歸係數)를 얻었다. 회귀계수(回歸係數)에 의한 회귀식(回歸式)은 편심(偏心)이 큰 경우를 제외하고는 구멍주위의 응력(應力)을 비교적(比較的) 정확(正確)히 예측(豫測)할 수 있을 것이라고 생각된다.
