A total of 114 extracted human mandibular first molars were used to study the configuration of the floor of the chamber. The specimens were ground and the pulp chamber was examined with a magnifier and explored with sharp explorer. The study showed the shape of the pulp chamber, number of root canals, and the type of canal orifice. The results were as follows; 1. In so far as observing the shape of the pulp chamber of the teeth, 58.8% of the teeth were square, 34.2% were triangle and 7.0% were ovoid shape. 2. 58.8% of the specimens have 4 root canal orifices, 34.2% have 3 root canal orifices, 7.0% have 2 root canal orifices. 3. 41.2% of the specimens show 'H' shape, 17.6% show 'Square' shape, 31.6% show 'T' shape, 2.0% show 'reverse-T' shape and 7.0% show 'I' shape.

The paper aims at analyzing the stress distribution around an underground opening that is subjected to non-symmetrical surface loading with emphasis on opening shapes with sharp corners and the stress concentrations developed at these locations. The analysis is performed utilizing the BIE method coupled with the Neumann's series. In order to implement this approach, the special recurrent relations for half plane were proven and the modified Shanks transform was incorporated to accelerate the series convergence. To demonstrate the capability of the developed approach, a horseshoe shape opening with sharp corners was investigated and the location and magnitude of the maximum hoop stress was calculated. The dependence of the maximum hoop stress location on the parameters of the surface loading (degree of asymmetry, size of loaded area) and of the opening (the opening height) was studied. It was found that the absolute magnitude of the maximum hoop stress (for all possible surface loading locations) is developed at the roof points when the opening height/width ratio is relatively large or when the pressure loading area is relatively narrow (compared to the roof arch radius), and contrarily, when the opening height/width ratio is relatively small or when the surface pressure is applied to a relatively wide area, the absolute magnitude of the maximum hoop stress is developed at the bottom sharp corner points.

Considering stress singularities at point support locations, buckling solutions for plates with arbitrary number of point supports are hard to obtain. Thus, new Hp-Cloud shape functions with Kronecker delta property (HPCK) were developed in the present paper to examine elastic buckling of point-supported thin plates in various shapes. Having the Kronecker delta property, this specific Hp-Cloud shape functions were constructed through selecting particular quantities for influence radii of nodal points as well as proposing appropriate enrichment functions. Since the given quantities for influence radii of nodal points could bring about poor quality of interpolation for plates with sharp corners, the radii were increased and the method of Lagrange multiplier was used for the purpose of applying boundary conditions. To demonstrate the capability of the new Hp-Cloud shape functions in the domain of analyzing plates in different geometry shapes, various test cases were correspondingly investigated and the obtained findings were compared with those available in the related literature. Such results concerning these new Hp-Cloud shape functions revealed a significant consistency with those reported by other researchers.

본 논문에서는 3D 메쉬 모델의 텍스쳐 매핑, 단순화, 모핑, 압축, 형상정합 등 다양한 분야에 응용될 수 있는 메쉬분할 문제를 다룬다. 메쉬 분할은 주어진 메쉬를 서로 떨어진 집합(disjoint sets)으로 나누는 과정으로서, 본 논문에서는 메쉬의 전역적 및 국부적 기하 특성을 동시에 반영하여 메쉬를 분할하는 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 먼저 주어진 메쉬의 국부적 기하 특성인 곡률 정보와 전역적 기하 특성인 볼록성을 이용하여 메쉬 정점들 중 첨예정점(sharp vertex)을 추출하고, 모든 첨예정점들 간의 유클리디언 거리에 기반한 $\kappa$-평균군집화 기법[26]을 적용하여 첨예 정점들을 분할한다. 분할된 첨예정점에 속하지 않는 나머지 정점들에 대해서는 유클리디언 거리상 가까운 군집으로 병합하여 최종적인 메쉬분할이 이루어진다. 또한 본 논문에서 제안한 메쉬분할 방법을 구현하여 여러 메쉬 모델에 대해 실험 결과를 보여준다.

Objective : Nine classical needles have been recorded in oriental medical classics as a diversified instrument for acupuncture to treat patients with various symptoms. Recently, it has suggested that doctors didn't make full use of acupuncture and that poor understanding of the nine needles has caused the lack of usage. Methods : It has studied bibliographically about the conformation including a length & shape and application & usages of the nine classical needles presented in oriental medical classics. Results : Chamchim (shear needle) has 1.6 chon (寸) length, sharp apex treating fever in the head and trunk; Wonchim (roun-pointed needle) has 1.6 chon, eggshaped apex treating disease of flesh by massaging with it; Sichim (spoon needle) has 3.5 chon, thick body with round sharp apex treating weakness of Qi; Bongchim (lance needle) has 1.6 chon, a triangled apex treating chronic disease with bleeding; Pichim (stiletto needle) has 4 chon, razor sharp applying to surgery of big pus; Wonlichim (round-sharp needle) has 1.6 chon, thin body, sharp apex treating acute arthralgia syndromes; Hochim (filiform needle) has various lengths which treats various disease of meridians and organs; Jangchim (long needle) has 7 chon, sharp apex treating chronic arthralgia syndromes in deeper place of body; Daechim (large needle) has 4 chon, nail like apex applying to excrete artheredema in joints. Conclusions : The conformation of nine classical needles has been changed from those recorded in oriental medical classics since it was developed. However, the usage of nine classical needles has remained the same. Therefore it is considered that intrinsic attribute of the nine needles has preserved even though the conformation of nine classical needles has changed.

The aerodynamic performance of a modified NACA64-418 with blunt trailing edges of irregular shape was investigated. As the trailing edge of the airfoil was thickened, the drag of the airfoil was increased due to development of a re-circulation bubble in the wake region. To reduce the drag of the airfoil with a blunt trailing edge, the optimum shape of the trailing edge for a modified NACA64-418 was investigated. The numerical results showed that the drag of the protruding shape was much more decreased than that of the retreating shape, but the lift was almost the same regardless of shape. In addition, the pitching moment of the modified NACA64-418 with a protruding sharp trailing edge was the smallest at the given angle of attack.

본 연구에서는 파이로 시동기의 고온고압 가스에 의해 구동되어지는 부분입사형 초음속 터빈의 익렬 엣지 형상에 따른 터빈 블레이드의 표면 가스온도 분포를 분석하기 위하여 초음속 터빈 내부의 온도발달 특성 해석을 실시하였다. 시동 초기의 터빈 블레이드의 표면 가스온도 분포 발달을 살펴보기 위해서 각각의 엣지 형상에 대해 터빈의 회전수를 바꾸어가며 계산을 수행하였다. 터빈 블레이드 엣지 형상은 샤프형과 라운드형 두 가지 종류를 선택하였고, 터빈의 회전수는 두 가지 형상 모두 $0{\sim}10,000rpm$의 회전 속도를 주어 계산을 실시하였다. 터빈의 회전수가 증가할수록 터빈 블레이드 표면의 평균 온도는 하강하였고, 사프형 엣지 형상이 라운드형 엣지 형상에 비해서 터빈 블레이드의 표면 온도 분포가 전반적으로 낮은 분포를 나타내었다.

In this paper, the electro-chemical-machining characteristics of Ni-Ti Shape Memory Alloy(SMA) was investigated. From the experimental results, the optimal electro chemical machining conditions for satisfying the machining quality(fine surface & high recovery stress)might be confirmed. And it was concluded that optical electro chemical condition for Ni-Ti SMA could be obtained at approximately 100% current efficiency and high frequency pulse current.

In order to reduce the lead-time and cost, the technology of rapid prototyping (RP) has been widely used. A new rapid prototyping process, transfer-type variable lamination manufacturing process by using expandable polystyrene foam (VLM-ST), has been developed to reduce building time, apparatus cost and additional post-processing. At the same time, VLM Slicer, the CAD/CAM software for VLM-ST has been developed. In this study, algorithms for accuracy improvement of VLM-ST, which include offset and overrun of a cutting path and generation of a reference shape are developed. Offset algorithm improves cutting accuracy, overrun algorithm enables the VLM-ST process to make a shape of sharp edge and reference shape generation algorithm adds additional shape which makes off-line lamination easier. In addition, proposed algorithms are applied to practical CAD models for verification.

This paper describes the changes of Shinkansen vehicles' nose shape by increasing train speed and according to the stream of time. As the speed increases, the length of the nose trends to lengthen longer. But the nose length does not increase as speed improves by optimized nose shape to reduce aerodynamic drag and micro-pressure wave in tunnels. Shinkansen vehicles nose shape can be classified into Advanced paraboloid type, Sharp-nosed type, Organic double-edged type and Flat-nosed type. In addition, it trends to be diversified and characterized more and more. In the near future, nose designs will be emphasized by the design concept including identity of each JR company based on optimized aerodynamic shape.
