The morphology, dynamic mechanical behavior and fracture behavior of polyetherimide (PEI)/dicyanate semi-interpenetrating polymer networks (semi-IPNs) with a morphology spectrum were analyzed. To obtain the morphology spectrum, we disported PEI particles in the procured dicyanate resin containing 300 ppm of zinc stearate catalyst. The semi-IPNs exhibited a morphology spectrum, which consisted of nodular spinodal structure, dual-phase morphology, and sea-island type morphology, in the radial direction of each dispersed PEI particle due to the concentration gradient developed by restricted dissolution and diffusion of the PEI particles during the curing process of the dicyanate resin. Analysis of the dynamic mechanical data obtained by the semi-IPNs demonstrated that the transition of the PEI-rich phase was shifted toward higher temperature as well as becoming broader because of the gradient structure. The semi-IPNs with the morphology spectrum showed improved fracture energy of 0.3 kJ/$m^2$, which was 1.4 times that of the IPNS having sea-island type morphology. It was found that the partially introduced nodular structure played a crucial role in the enhancement of the fracture resistance of the semi-IPNs.

The fatigue life and tensile strength of JLF-1 steel (Fe-9Cr-2W-V-Ta) and its TIG weldment were investigated at the room temperature and $400^{\circ}C$. Four kinds of test specimens, which associated with the rolling direction and the TIG welding direction were machined. The base metal of JLF-1 steel represented almost anisotropy in the tensile properties for the rolling direction. And the base metal of JLF-1 steel showed lower strength than that of TIG weldment. Also, the strength of all materials entirely decreased in accordance with elevating test temperature. Moreover, the fatigue limit of weld metal was largely increase than that of base metal at both temperatures. The fatigue limit of JLF-1 steel decreased in accordance with elevating test temperature. The fatigue limit of JLF-1 steel decreased in accordance with elevating test temperature. The SEM fractography of tensile test specimen showed conspicuous cleavage fracture of a radial shape. In case of fatigue life test specimen, there were so many striations at crack initiation region, and dimple was observed at final fracture region as a ductile fracture mode.

CVD-SiC coating has been introduced as a protective layer in TRISO nuclear fuel particle of high temperature gas cooled reactor (HTGR) due to its excellent mechanical stability at high temperature. In order to prevent the failure of the TRISO particles, it is important to evaluate the fracture strength of the SiC coating layer. It is needed to develop a new simple characterization technique to evaluate the mechanical properties of the coating layer as a pre-irradiation step. In present work, direct strength measurement method with the specimen of hem i-spherical shell configuration was suggested. The indentation experiment on a hemisphere shell with a plate indenter was conducted. The fracture strength of the coating layer is related with the critical load for radial cracking of the shell. The finite element analysis was used to drive the semi-empirical equation for the strength measurement. The SiC hemispherical shells were successfully recovered from the section-grinding of TRISO coated particle and successive heat treatment in air. The strength of CVD-SiC coating layer was evaluated from the experimentally measured critical load during the indentation on SiC hemisphere shell. Weibull diagram of fracture strength was also constructed. This study suggested a new strength equation and experimental method to measure the fracture strength of CVD-SiC coating of TRISO coated fuel particles.

This study was conducted to evaluate and analyze fractures types, sites and surgical approach of wild birds in Korea. The study was conducted on data collected for fracture lesion sites, species, outcomes, surgical methods, treatments and medical records from wildlife centers in South Korea. All birds were subjected to clinical examination, followed by surgical invasion and post-operative care. Fractures were more common in adult non-raptor species (51.57%) as compared to raptors (48.43%). Of the 254 cases evaluated, maximum cases comprised ulnar fractures (29.70%), followed by radial (21.76%) and humeral fractures (17.35%). Treatment procedures at 340 fracture sites were maximally treated with figure-8 bandage (33.07%), external skeletal fixator-intramedullary pin (ESF+IM tie-in fixation) (20.86%), and other varied procedures. All birds were kept indoors till recovery. Treatment outcomes were dependent on the type of bone fractured and surgical method applied. Based on the surgical treatments and outcomes, birds were kept hospitalized, and released or euthanized. The findings of this study provide information for veterinarians regarding the fractures sites, basic database for the species and outcomes of fracture repair in wild birds.

유리섬유/에폭시 복합재료로 피막한 판유리의 표변파괴거동에 대한 섬유방향효과를 미소강구 충격실험을 통해 연구했다. 본 연구에서는 단순소다유리판(soda-lime glass plates), 일방향 유리섬유/에폭시박막 (glass/epoxy lamina ply)을 1층 및 2층 접착, 직교형 유리섬유/에폭시 박막 (2층)을 접착한 4종류의 시편을 사용하였다. 유리판 배면에 스트레인게이지를 부착하여 충격중의 최대 응력과 흡수파괴에너지를 측정하였다. 피막없는 판유리의 경우 충격속도 증가에 따라 링균열, 콘균열, 레이디얼 균열이 충격표면부에서 발생하였다. 복합재료 박막으로 피막한 결과, 소다유리판의 균열은 현저히 감소하였으며 섬유층과 판유리사이의 박리 및 소성변형영역의 방향은 섬유방향으로 진행했다. 최대응력과 흡수파괴에너지를 이용하여 구한 충격 표면파괴지수는 표면저항의 효과적인 평가지수로서 사용될 수 있었다.

WIPP에서 가스로 인한 파괴의 가능성을 해석적 계산과 수치해석 및 실내실첩을 통하여 연구하였다. 우선 본 연구와 관련된 화학반응식을 조사한 결과, 폐기물 내의 철이 산화하면서 다량의 가스가 발생될 수 있음을 알았다. 또한 간단한 지하수 흐름의 계산결과, 투수성이 높은 파쇄영역이 존재하지 않는 경우 이 가스량은 암염 내부와 약한 수평면에 인장균열을 초래하기에 충분히 높은 압력을 야기시킬 것이다. 해석적 계산은 선형탄성파괴역학의 개념을 사용하여 수행하였고, 수치해석은 유한요소법을 사용하여 행하였다. 또한 실내실험은 발생가능한 파괴 메카니즘을 설명하기 위하여 행하였다. 해석결과 약한 경석고층에서 수평으로 균열이 증가된 뒤에 그 균열은 이 층을 뜰고나가 암염 위쪽으로 계속 전폭되어 지표면 쪽의 수평방향과 53$^{\circ}$경사각을 갖고 지표면에 도달된다. 이와 같은 후자의 현상을 방지하기 위하여 경석고는 암염의 인성보다 0.5590배가 적은 파괴인성을 가져야 하는 것으로 나타났다. 실험결과 세 가지 형태의 균열(radial vertical cracks, horizontal circular cracks and cone -shaped cracks)이 관찰되었다.

Purpose: Soft tissue defect can occur on the posterior aspect of the elbow after trauma or fracture fixation. To cover the defect and maintain elbow functions, various flap surgeries including latissimus dorsi muscle flap, lateral arm flap and radial forearm flap can be performed. We present the clinical results of transposition lateral arm flap for coverage of the elbow defect and discuss the cause of posterior soft tissue necrosis after fracture fixation. Materials and Methods: Two patients who had posterior soft tissue defect of the elbow after open reduction of the fractures around the elbow were treated with transposition lateral arm flap. The mean size of skin defect was 20 $cm^2$. The flap was elevated with posterior radial collateral artery pedicle and transposed to the defect area. Donor defect was covered with split thickness skin graft. The elbow was immobilized for 1 week in extended position and active range of motion was permitted. Results: All two cases of transposition lateral arm flap survived without marginal necrosis. The average range of motion of the elbow was 10~115 degrees. Mayo elbow performance score was 72 and Korean DASH score was 23. Conclusion: When elbow fractures are fixed with three simultaneous plates and screws, skin necrosis can occur on the posterior aspect of the elbow around olecranon area. If the size of skin defect is relatively small, transposition lateral arm flap is very useful option for orthopaedic surgeons without microsurgical technique.

Delayed hydride cracking (DHC) is an important failure mechanism for Zircaloy tubes in the demanding environment of nuclear reactors. The threshold stress intensity factor, $K_{IH}$, and critical hydride length, $l_C$, are important parameters to evaluate DHC. Theoretical models of them are developed for Zircaloy tubes undergoing non-homogenous temperature loading, with new stress distributions ahead of the crack tip and thermal stresses involved. A new stress distribution in the plastic zone ahead of the crack tip is proposed according to the fracture mechanics theory of second-order estimate of plastic zone size. The developed models with fewer fitting parameters are validated with the experimental results for $K_{IH}$ and $l_C$. The research results for radial cracking cases indicate that a better agreement for $K_{IH}$ can be achieved; the negative axial thermal stresses can lessen $K_{IH}$ and enlarge the critical hydride length, so its effect should be considered in the safety evaluation and constraint design for fuel rods; the critical hydride length $l_C$ changes slightly in a certain range of stress intensity factors, which interprets the phenomenon that the DHC velocity varies slowly in the steady crack growth stage. Besides, the sensitivity analysis of model parameters demonstrates that an increase in yield strength of zircaloy will result in a decrease in the critical hydride length $l_C$, and $K_{IH}$ will firstly decrease and then have a trend to increase with the yield strength of Zircaloy; higher fracture strength of hydrided zircaloy will lead to very high values of threshold stress intensity factor and critical hydride length at higher temperatures, which might be the main mechanism of crack arrest for some Zircaloy materials.

목적: 요수근 관절 탈구는 고에너지 손상에 의해 발생하며 요골 경상돌기 골절 및 단요월상인대 손상을 동반한다. 단요월상인대는 요골 부착부에서 파열되기도 하지만 요골 월상골와의 전방연에서 견열 골편을 동반하여 발생하기도 한다. 이 연구의 목적은 요골 경상돌기 골절이 동반된 요수근 관절 탈구에서 단요월상인대의 손상 형태 및 치료 방법에 따라 결과의 차이가 있는지 알아보고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 요수근 관절 탈구로 수술을 시행한 18명을 대상으로 하였다. 요수근 관절 탈구는 Dumontier 등의 방법을 이용하여 Group 1 (순순한 탈구 또는 요골의 작은 견열 골절)과 Group 2 (주상골와의 1/3 이상을 침범한 요골 경상돌기 골절)로 분류하였다. Group 2는 단요월상인대의 부착부가 파열되거나 작은 견열 골절을 동반한 경우를 2A, 비교적 큰 견열 골절을 동반하여 내고정이 가능한 경우를 2B로 분류하였다. 전자는 단요월상인대의 직접 봉합으로, 후자는 작은 나사를 이용한 견열 골편의 내고정으로 치료하였다. 최종 추시에서 통증, 관절 운동 범위와 파악력, 영상 검사를 확인하였다. 치료 결과는 patient-rated wrist evaluation(PRWE), modified Mayo wrist score (MMWS)를 이용하여 평가하였다. 결과: 모든 증례는 Group 2 (2A 6명, 2B 12명)로 분류되었다. 굴신 운동 범위는 건측의 79%, 파악력은 72.9%를 보였다. Group 2A가 2B보다 신전/굴곡/회전에서 더 큰 운동 범위를 보였다. 요사위/척사위/회외전과 통증, 파악력 회복은 차이는 없었다. PRWE, MMWS에서는 두 군의 차이가 없었다. 합병증으로 외상성 관절염 7예, 관절 불안정 5예가 있었다. 결론: 단요월상인대가 손상될 때 요골 월상골와의 전방연에서 발생한 견열 골절은 치료 결과에 영향이 없었다. 그러나 견열 골편이 전위되거나 회전되어 탈구의 정복을 방해하기 때문에 주의해야 하며, 골편에 부착하는 단요월상인대의 기능을 복원하기 위해 해부학적 정복과 견고한 내고정이 필요하다.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Effect of surface treatment of ceramic under loading does not appear to have been investigated. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of surface treatment of esthetic ceramic, which is performed to increase the bonding strength, on the fracture stress under controlled cyclic loading condition. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Sixty 1.0 mm-thick specimens were made from Mark II Vitablocs (Vita Zahnfabrik, Germany) and divided into 3 groups: polished (control), sandblasted, and etched. Specimens of each group were bonded to a dentin analog material base including micro-channels to facilitate the flow of water to the bonding interface. Bonded ceramics were cyclically loaded with a flat-end piston in the water (500,000 cycles, 15Hz). Following completion of cyclic loading, specimens were examined for subsurface crack formation and subsequent stress was determined and loaded to next specimen by the staircase method according to the crack existence. RESULTS: There were significant differences of mean fatigue limit in the sandblasted (222.86 ${\pm}$ 23.42 N) and etched group (222.86 ${\pm}$ 14.16 N) when compared to polished group (251.43 ${\pm}$ 10.6 N) (P<.05; Wald-type pair-wise comparison and post hoc Bonferroni test). Of cracked specimens, surface treated group showed longer crack propagation after 24 hours. All failures originated from the radial cracking without cone crack. Fracture resistance of this study was very low and comparable to failure load in the oral cavity. CONCLUSION: Well controlled cyclic loading could induce clinically relevant cracks and fracture resistance of Mark II ceramic was relatively low applicable only to anterior restorations. Surface treatment of inner surface of feldspathic porcelain in the matsicatory area could influence lifetime of restorations.
