Purpose : The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of specific frequency and application timing of microcurrent (MC) on the mechanical property of muscle caused by delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Methods : The subjects were 32 healthy adults with 8 subjects randomly assigned to four groups (I; 40 Hz MC while inducing DOMS, II; 40 Hz MC immediately after inducing DOMS, III; 284 Hz MC while inducing DOMS, IV; 284 Hz MC immediately after inducing DOMS). DOMS is applied to the biceps brachii muscle while MC was applied at an intensity of $300{\mu}A$ for 10 minutes. The mechanical properties of muscle were measured before and immediately after DOMS. Results : In terms of muscle tone, there were significant differences in interaction effects between time and groups. Regarding muscle elasticity and stiffness, there were no significant differences in interaction effects between time and groups but there were only significant differences in main effects based on time. Conclusion : The results indicated that 40 Hz MC had an effect on reducing muscle tone regardless of application timing. However, both 40 Hz and 284 Hz MC did not trigger changes in muscle elasticity and stiffness regardless of application timing.

The carbon fiber reinforced carbon composite (CFRC) materials are necessary for the advanced industries that require the thermal resistance. And the development and research for CFRC has been in progress in the field of aerospace and defense industry. CFRC have several advantages and special properties such as excellent anti ablation, outstanding strength retention at very high temperature, high heat capacity and thermal transport, high specific stiffness and strength, and high thermal shock resistance. They have been used as aircraft brake, rocket nozzle, nose cones, jet engine turbine wheels, and high speed craft. Since the technology related to CFRC was prohibited from importing and exporting, we developed our own technology to produce F-16 B32 brake disk made out of CFRC, and then we performed various tests to observe the characteristics of CFRC-based brake disk developed in this study in view of density, strength, friction, specific heat, and heat conductivity.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of a combined functional intervention program on the pain-related questionnaire, the erector spinae contractile properties, and trunk extensor strength of prime-aged females with non-specific chronic low back pain. Method: 16 (female: 16) prime-aged subjects (age: 60.88 ± 6.09 years, height: 158.16 ± 5.58 cm, weight: 59.05 ± 9.44 kg) participated in this study. Results: Except for Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia all pain-related questionnaires revealed a significant decrease after the intervention program (p<.001). Tensiomyography of the erector spinae revealed a significant post-intervention program increase in the maximum radial displacement (p<.05) and velocity of contraction (p<.05), however, there wasn't a significant post-intervention program change in the contraction time. Additionally, Trunk extensor strength showed a significant increase post-intervention program (p<.001). Conclusion: Our results indicated that the combined functional intervention program positively changed pain-related questionnaires and reduced erector spinae muscle stiffness, increasing the velocity of erector spinae contraction. Additionally, improved the trunk extensor strength.

교량받침은 상부구조물의 변위를 흡수하는 역할을 수행한다. 교량 받침으로 일반적인 탄성받침은 고무 자체의 전단변형 특성으로 상부구조물의 변위를 흡수한다. 공용 수명동안 받침 자체의 파괴 또는 받침의 기능 저하로 인하여 교량의 내구성을 저해하지 않기 위해서는 탄성받침의 피로내구성이 확보되어야 한다. 이에 이 논문에서는 온도변화에 의해 발생되는 상부구조물의 변위를 수용하는 탄성받침의 전단성능 내구성을 확인하기 위하여 전단피로실험을 실시하였다. 또한 탄성받침을 구성하는 한 층의 내부 고무층을 여러 겹의 고무로 겹쳐서 제작하는 제작 관행이 탄성받침의 전단성능에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 조사하였다. 전단피로실험 결과 전단피로반복 회수에 따라 강성변화에 대한 특정한 경향을 찾아보기 어려웠다. 하지만 두꺼운 내무 고무층을 갖는 받침을 제작하는 경우 일부 업체에서는 관행적으로 여러 층의 고무를 겹쳐서 한 층의 내부고무층이 되도록 제작하는데 이 경우에는 받침의 전단성능이 현저하게 저하되거나 받침이 조기에 파괴되는 결과를 가져왔다.

The front-end side members of automobiles, such as the hat-shaped section member, absorb most of the energy during the front-end collision. The side members absorb more energy in collision if they have higher strength and stiffness, and stable folding capacity (local buckling). Using the above characteristics on energy absorption, vehicle should be designed light-weight to improve fuel combustion ratio and reduce exhaust gas. Because of their specific strength and stiffness, CFRP are currently being considered for many structural (aerospace vehicle, automobiles, trains and ships) applications due to their potential for reducing structural weight. Although CFRP members exhibit collapse modes that are significantly different from the collapse modes of metallic materials, numerous studies have shown that CFRP members can be efficient energy absorbing materials. In this study, the CFRP side members were manufactured using a uni-directional prepreg sheet of carbon/Epoxy and axial static collapse tests were performed for the members. The collapse mode and the energy absorption capability of the members were analyzed under the static load.

Ultra light metal structures have been studied for several years because of their superior specific stiffness, strength and potential of multi functions. Many studies have been focused on how to manufacture ultra light metal structures and optimize them. In this study, we introduced a new idea to make sandwich panels having octet truss cores. Wires bent in a shape of triangular wave were assembled to construct an Octet truss core and it was bonded with two face sheets to be a sandwich panel. The bending & compressive strength and stiffness were estimated through elementary mechanics for the sandwich specimens with two kinds of face sheets and the results were compared with the ones measured by experiments. Some aspects of assembling and mechanical behavior were discussed compared with Kagome core fabricated from wire, which had been introduced in the authors' previous work.

There are numerous factors that affect stress distribution in a buried pipe, such as the shape, size, and stiffness of the pipe, its burial depth, and the stiffness of the surrounding soil. In addition, the pipe can benefit from the soil arching effect to some extent, through which the overburden and surcharge pressure at the crown can be carried by the adjacent soil. As a result, the buried pipe needs to support only a portion of the load that is not transferred to the adjacent soil. This paper presents numerical efforts to investigate the stress distribution in the buried concrete pipe under various environmental conditions. To that end, a nonlinear elasto-plastic model for backfill materials was implemented into finite element software by a user-defined subroutine (user material, or UMAT) to more precisely analyze the soil behavior surrounding a buried concrete pipe subjected to surface loading. In addition, three different backfill materials with a native soil were selected to examine the material-specific stress distribution in pipe. The environmental conditions considering in this study the loading effect and void effects were investigated using finite element method. The simulation results provide information on how the pressures are redistributed, and how the buried concrete pipe behaves under various environmental conditions.

The buckling equations of filament wound composite cylindrical shell are established. The coefficients $K_{ij}$ and $L_{ij}$ of the buckling equations are determined by solving the equations. The geometric analysis and the effective stiffness calculation for the fiber crossover and undulation region are respectively accomplished. Using the effective stiffness of the undulation region, the specific formulas of the coefficients ${K^{\prime}}_{ij}$ and ${L^{\prime}}_{ij}$ of the buckling equations are determined. Numerical examples of the buckling critical loads have been performed for the different winding angles and stacking sequences cylindrical shell designs. It can be concluded that the fiber undulation results in the less effect on the buckling critical loads $P_{cr}$. $P_{cr}$ increases with the thickness-radius ratio. The effect on $P_{cr}$ due to the fiber undulation is more obvious with the thickness-radius ratio. $P_{cr}$ decreases with the length-radius ratio. The effect on $P_{cr}$ due to the fiber undulation can be neglected when the ratio is large.

계면크랙으로부터 먼 거리에 일정한 반평면(anti-plane) 전단력이 가해지는 경우에 대해서 복소변수 변위함수(complex variable displacement function)를 이용하여 곡면형상의 접합면을 가지는 폼과 복합재료의 접합재료에 대한 일반해를 고찰하였다. 점탄성 모델을 표현하기 위하여 Kelvin-Maxwell 모델을 제시하였으며, 폼의 점탄성을 나타내는 수학적 모델을 라플라스 변환을 이용하여 처리하였다. 폼의 점탄성 및 복합재료의 이방성을 고려하여 계면크랙에서의 응력세기계수를 예측하였다. 응력세기계수는 접합면의 곡률이 증가할수록 증가하는 경향을 보이며 시간이 지남에 따라 증가하다 일정값에 수렴하였다. 또한 폼과 복합재료 사이의 전단 강성계수비가 증가할수록 응력세기계수가 증가하였으며, 복합재료의 섬유방향이 응력세기계수의 변화에 미치는 영향은 점차 감소하였다.
