  • In this paper the results of CFD simulations, that were carried out to study the impact pressures acting on a symmetric wedge during water entry under the influence of gravity, are presented. The simulations were done using a solver implementing finite volume discretization and using the VOF scheme to keep track of the free surface during water entry. The parameters such as pressure on impact, displacement, velocity, acceleration and net hydrodynamic forces, etc., which govern the water entry process are monitored during the initial stage of water entry. In addition, the results of the complete water entry process of wedges covering the initial stage where the impact pressure reaches its maximum as well as the late stage that covers the rebound process of the buoyant wedge are presented. The study was conducted for a few touchdown velocities to understand its influence on the water entry phenomenon. The simulation results are compared with the experimental measurements available in the literature with good accuracy. The various computational parameters (e.g., mesh size, time step, solver, etc.) that are necessary for accurate prediction of impact pressures, as well as the entry-exit trajectory, are discussed.

  • 목적: 치과용 수복재료의 방사선 불투과성은 매우 다양하다. 따라서 다양한 수복재료의 방사선 불투과성을 인지하여 치질과 비교하면 이차우식의 진단에 도움이 될 수 있다. 도재의 방사선 불투과성에 따라 적절한 luting cement의 선택이 가농해진다. 수복재료의 방사선 불투과성은 알루미늄 step wedge 의 후경과 방사선 불투과성과의 상관관계 의해 측정된다. 본 연구의 목적은 CAD/CAM용 도재와 이틀의 접착에 쓰이는 접착재료의 방사선 불투과성을 조사해 적절한 재료의 선택과 이차우식 진단의 효율결정에 도움이 되게 하는데 있다. 방법: 본 실험에서는 CAD/CAM용 도재인 Vita MarkII, Dicor MGC와 이의 접착에 사용되는 Z-100, 그리고 luting cement인 Duo cement, Scotchbond resin cement를 사용해 방사선 불투과성을 측정하였다. 시편 제작을 위해 도재를 저속절단기로 두께 2mm, 3mm로 절단하였으며 Z-100과 cement시편은 두께 2mm와 3mm, 직경 7.0mm의 금속 주형을 제작한 후 재료를 양쪽 면에 유리판을 대고 조임쇠로 압접하였으며 광조사기를 사용하여 각 재료마다 두 가지 두께로 10개씩 100개의 시편을 제작하였다. 치질의 시편을 얻기 위해 교정 목적으로 최근에 발거된 정상적인 상악 소구치를 저속 절단기를 사용하여 협설측 교두정을 기준 삼아 2mm, 3mm 두께로 절단하였으며 방사선 불투과성의 기준을 위해 12개의 step으로 구성된 12mm두께의 aluminum step wedge를 사용하였다. Kodak E-Speed occlusal film에 aluminum step wedge와 시편들을 위치시킨 후 70kVp, 7mA, 2.16mm aluminum filtration으로 고정된 dental X-ray unit을 사용하여 target과 film 사이의 거리는 25cm, 노출시간은 0.2초로 하여 방사선 촬영을 한 다음, 현상된 방사선 사진상에 나타난 방사선 불투과성을 X-rite 301 densitometer를 이용하여 측정한 값들의 평균을 냈다. 얻어진 결과는 one-way ANOVA Duncan test(P<0.01)로 검증하였다. 결론: 1. Dicor MGC의 방사선 불투과성은 법랑질보다 약간 높게 나타났다.(P<0.01) 2. Vita Mark Il는 상아질보다 낮은 방사선 불투과성을 보였다.(P<0.01) 3. Z-100과 Luting cement들의 방사선 불투과성은 법랑질보다 높았다. Duo cement가 방사선 불투과성이 가장 높았고 그 다음이 Z-100, 그리고 Scotchbond resin cement 순이었다. 4. Z-100과 2종류의 방사선 불투과성 luting cement들은 Vita Mark II 와 같이 사용하면 2차우식 진단에 도움이 된다.

  • ZnO hexagonal rods grown in aqueous solution can be changed into a tubular shape by two-step aging in the course of the growing process. In the first step, hexagonal ZnO rods is grown by aging at $90^{\circ}C$ under a highly supersaturated aqueous solution giving rise to a fast precipitation rate. Meanwhile, during the second step aging at $60^{\circ}C$ in the same aqueous solution, the hexagonal polar face (001) having higher surface energy than (010) side planes dissolves to minimize surface energy. Hence the flat (001) face changes to a craterlike face and the hexagonal rod length of ZnO decreases at an initial-stage of this step aging. The formation of the (101) wedge-type faces is ascribed to the resultant of competitive reactions between the dissolution of polar face minimizing the surface energy which is a dominant reaction at the initial stage and the precipitation reaction dissipating supersaturation. At a later stage of the second-step the reaction rates of these two processes in the aqueous solution become similar and the overall reaction is terminated.

  • The Cross rolling between flat jaws, as a kind of hot forging, is the forming method to make the axisymmetric multi-step shaft by its rotation and pressure between flat jaws which move in opposite direction. The purpose of this study is to propose the optimal geometric data for shape development of the forward forming region. All data described on this paper are quantified by experiment from initial shape design to final shape development. As the result, proper geometric data are proved that lenth of the first forming area in the forward forming region is 1.5 times larger than circumference of work-piece and the progress angle changes 3 times smoothly.

  • The purpose of this study was to propose the utility which was evaluated the digital image processing and clinical application of the videodensitomery. The experiments were performed with IBM-PC/16bit-AT compatible, video camera(CCdtr55, Sony Co., Japan), an color monitor(MultiSync 3D, NEC, Japan) providing the resolution of 512×480 and 64 levels of gray. Sylvia Image Capture Board for the ADC(analog to digital converter) was used, composed of digitized image from digital signal and the radiographic density was measured by 256 level of gray. The periapical radiograph(Ektaspeed EP-21, Kodak Co., U. S. A) which was radiographed dried human mandible by exposure condition of 70 kVp and 48 impulses, was used for primary X-ray detector. And them evaluated for digitzed image by low and high pass filtering, correlations between aluminum equivalent values and the thickness of aluminum step wedge, aluminum equivalent values of sound enamel, dentin, and alveolar bone, the range of diffuse density for gray level ranging from 0 to 255. The obtained results were as follows: 1. The edge between aluminum steps of digitized image were somewhat blurred by low pass filtering, but edge enhancement could be resulted by high pass filtering. Expecially, edge enhancement between distal root of lower left 2nd molar and alveolar lamina dura was observed. 2. The correlation between aluminum equivalent values and the thickness of aluminum step wedge was intimated, yielding the coefficient of correlation r=0.9997(p<0.00l), the regression line was described by Y=0.9699X+0.456, and coefficient of variation amounting to 1.5%. 3. The aluminum equivalent values of sound enamel, dentin, and alvolar bone were 15.41㎜, 12.48㎜, 10.35㎜, respectively. 4. The range of diffuse density for gray level ranging from 0 to 255 was wider enough than that of photodenstiometer to be within the range of 1-4.9.
