세라믹(AD-90 alumina, $B_4C$) 타일이 삽입된 금속 블록(4340-steel)에 텅스텐 합금(tungsten alloy)의 긴 운동에너지탄을 수직 고속 충돌시키는 수치해석을 수행하였다. 본 연구를 수행하기에 앞서 두 가지의 반무한판 충돌 모델의 침투 깊이에 대해서 검증을 하였다. 세라믹 재료는 JH-2 (Johnson-Holmquist) 모델을 적용하였고 계산된 침투 깊이를 실험값과 비교하여 만족할만한 결과를 얻었다. 앞서 언급한 판에 대해서 세라믹 타일의 세 가지 두께별로 금속판에 삽입된 위치를 다르게 하여 충돌 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 긴 관통자의 잔류속도, 잔류질량 그리고 잔류운동에너지를 얻어 세라믹 타일의 위치가 구조물의 방호 성능에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보았다. 그리고 단순 금속 블록 대비 세라믹 타일을 사용하는 경우의 질량 효율이 어떻게 되는지 확인해보았다. 마지막으로 이들을 토대로 질량효율 관점에서 최적 방호구조에 대한 평가를 수행하였다.

PURPOSE. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is the most commonly used denture base material despite typically low in strength. The purpose of this study was to improve the physical properties of the PMMA based denture base resins (QC-20, Dentsply Ltd., Addlestone, UK; Stellon, AD International Ltd, Dentsply, Switzerland; Acron MC; GC Lab Technologies Inc., Alsip, Japan) by copolymerization mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Control group specimens were prepared according to the manufacturer recommendations. In the copolymer groups; resins were prepared with 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% acrylamide (AAm) (Merck, Hohenbrunn, Germany) content according to the moleculer weight ratio, respectively. Chemical structure was characterized by a Bruker Vertex-70 Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) (Bruker Optics Inc., Ettlingen, Germany). Hardness was determined using an universal hardness tester (Struers Duramin, Struers A/S, Ballerup, Denmark) equipped with a Vickers diamond penetrator. The glass transition temperature ($T_g$) of control and copolymers were evaluated by Perkin Elmer Diamond DSC (Perkin Elmer, Massachusetts,USA). Statistical analyses were carried out using the statistical package SPSS for Windows, version 15.0 (SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA). The results were tested regarding the normality of distribution with the Shapiro Wilk test. Data were analyzed using ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey test (P<.01). RESULTS. The copolymer synthesis was confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy. Glass transition temperature of the copolymer groups were higher than the control groups of the resins. The 10%, 15% and 20% copolymer groups of Stellon presented significantly higher than the control group in terms of hardness. 15% and 20% copolymer groups of Acron MC showed significantly higher hardness values when compared to the control group of the resin. Acrylamide addition did not affect the hardness of the QC-20 resin significantly. CONCLUSION. Within the limitation of this study, it can be concluded that copolymerization of PMMA with AAm increased the hardness value and glass transition temperature of PMMA denture base resins.
