This paper aims to analyze fatigue fracture mechnisms with high strength aluminum alloys, which are widely used in vehicles or airplanes to prevent accidents. Usefulness of the crack opening point was proposed by using an effective stress intensity facor when evaluating the fatigue crack propagaion rate. Therefore an exact crack opening ratio can be measured for a more exact fatigue crack propagation rate. It is found that the fatigue crack propagation rate was valid within the range of experimentation as an effective stress intensity factor. Summarizing the results are as follows in this paper ; (1) It is found that the value of the crack opening ratio is constant at the rear of the specimen, U'=0.25 at the crack mouth and U'=0.45 at the crack tip, respectively regardless of the stress ratio. (2) The crack opening ratio is different according to measurement locations. The crack opening ratio value was measured at the crack mouth by a clip gage or measured behind the specimen by a strain gage. It is found that the crack opening ratio value is more accurate that any other measuring test for evaluating the crack propagation ratio test by effective stress intensity factor.

This paper aims to synthesize the research on fatigue fracture mechanisms of high strength aluminum alloys which are widely used in motorcars or airplanes to prevent accidents. To measure the data of crack opening ratio, the same materials and method are used for evaluating the fatigue crack propagation rate as an effective stress intensity factor. But, many researchers have brought different results. An exact crack opening ratio was, therefore, proposed for getting a more accurate fatigue crack propagation rate. The main conclusions obtained are as follows. (1) As a result of the fatigue test, the value of the crack opening ratio is the same regardless of the stress ratio. (2) The value of crack opening ratio is different according to the measuring point. After measuring the crack propagation rate by using an effective stress intensity factor, the crack opening ratio value measured at the crack mouth by a clip gage, or measured rear of the specimen by a strain gage is more accurate than that by any other measuring test.

In this paper. a simple high-speed crash test rig for members of vehicle was developed for the improvement of crashworthiness of vehicle's side rail. The cart hanging the specimen is accelerated up to 35 mph by the force of freely dropping weight and 1:3 accelerating pulleys. The cart with shock absorbers travels on the rail roads, so it does not transfer any additional vibration to the specimen. To measure the test results, two types of accelerator are considered. the one is a strain gage type and the other is a piezo type. The test rig is rated good to test the specimen like a side rail of vehicle as developing the vehicle's structures in the early design stage.

Dynamic load and static load tests are performed on steel pipe piles and concrete piles at five construction sites in highway to compare the difference of load bearing mechanisms. At each site, one steel pile is instrumented with electric strain gages and dynamic tests are performed on the pile during installation. Damages of strain gages due to the installation are checked and static test is performed upon the same pile after two or seven days as well. It shows that load transfer from side friction to base resistance behaves somewhat differently according to the results of load-settlement analysis obtained from PDA and static load test. Initial elastic stage of load settlement curves of two load tests is almost similar. But after the yielding point, dynamic resistance of pile behaves more stiffer than static resistance, thus, dynamic load test result might overestimate the real pile capacity compared with static result. Analysis of gage readings shows that unit skin friction increases exponentially with depth. The skin friction is mobilized at the 1∼2m above the pile tip and contributes to the considerable side resistance. Comparison of side and base resistances between the measured value and the calculated value by Meyerhof's bearing capacity equation using SPT N value shows that the calculated base resistance is higher than the measured. Therefore, contribution of side resistance to total capacity shouldn't be ignored or underestimated. Finally, based upon the overall test results, a construction control procedure is suggested.

PURPOSE. The occlusal splint has been used for many years as an effective treatment of sleep bruxism. Several methods have been used to evaluate efficiency of the occlusal splints. However, the effect of the occlusal splints on occlusal force has not been clarified sufficiently. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of occlusal splints on maximum occlusal force in patients with sleep bruxism and compare two type of splints that are Bruxogard-soft splint and canine protected hard stabilization splint. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Twelve students with sleep bruxism were participated in the present study. All participants used two different occlusal splints during sleep for 6 weeks. Maximum occlusal force was measured with two miniature strain-gage transducers before, 3 and 6 weeks after insertion of occlusal splints. Clinical examination of temporomandibular disorders was performed for all individuals according to the Craniomandibular Index (CMI) before and 6 weeks after the insertion of splints. The changes in mean occlusal force before, 3 and 6 weeks after insertion of both splints were analysed with paired sample t-test. The Wilcoxon test was used for the comparison of the CMI values before and 6 weeks after the insertion of splints. RESULTS. Participants using stabilization splints showed no statistically significant changes in occlusal force before, 3, and 6 weeks after insertion of splint (P>.05) and participants using Bruxogard-soft splint had statistically significant decreased occlusal force 6 weeks after insertion of splint (P<.05). There was statistically significant improvement in the CMI value of the participants in both of the splint groups (P<.05). CONCLUSION. Participants who used Bruxogard-soft splint showed decreases in occlusal force 6 weeks after insertion of splint. The use of both splints led to a significant reduction in the clinical symptoms.

PSC-I거더형태는 교량설계에 있어 널리 쓰이는 형태이다. 현재 일부 선진국가들은 고강도콘크리트를 교량에 적용하고 있는 반면 국내에는 다소 낮은 강도의 콘크리트(40MPa)를 사용하고 있다. 이에 따라 본 논문은 고강도 콘크리트를 실용화하기 위해 고강도 콘크리트를 타설한 부재의 특성과 거동에 대해 연구하였다. 이를 위해 4개의 거더를 제작하여 부재의 성능과 구조적 거동을 분석하였다. 실험에 앞서 상용프로그램을 이용하여 예상되는 거동을 구조해석을 통해 알아보았다. 스틸 게이지와 콘크리트 게이지를 매립하여 철근과 콘크리트의 종방향, 횡방향 변형율을 측정하였고. LVDT(Linear Variable Differential Transducer)을 중앙부와 지점에 설치해 부재의 처짐 및 변형을 측정하였다. 긴장작업시와 구조실험간 하중-처짐 관계와 균열하중의 실험결과를 구조해석 결과와 비교 분석하였다. 이를 통해 고강도 콘크리트를 부재에 적용하였을 때 거동변화와 긍정적인 효과에 대해 알아보았다.

홀 확장법은 홀 주위에 압축 잔류응력 층을 생성시킴으로서 균열 발생을 지연시키는 방법으로 항공산업 분야에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 홀 확장잔류응력의 분포는 홀 확장률, 맨드럴 삽입방향, 재료 물성치 등 여러 가지 홀 확장 파라미터에 따라 달리진다. 홀 확장 잔류응력 층의 정확한 파악이 항공사업의 실제 설계에 있어서 매우 중요함에도 불구하고 이에 대한 연구는 상대적으로 부족하였다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 유한요소해석을 통하여 알루미늄 평판에 홀 확장법을 적용하는 경우의 잔류응력 분포를 예측하고자 하였다. 유한요소해석의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 스트레인 게이지를 이용한 홀 확장 잔류변형률을 측정하였으며, 홀 확장률과 2단 홀 확장이 잔류응력 분포에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 2단 홀 확장을 적용함으로써 최대 압축 잔류응력의 크기가 약 7% 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.

A DC generator control system was designed to control the torque of a rotating shaft precisely. The control system is composed of a strain gage type torque cell, a torque cell amplifier, a computer, a D/A converter, a error detector, a DC voltage amplifier and a resistor. The response test under unit step input and the dynamic stability test for the designed control system were carried out. It was confirmed that the settling time from the response test is about 4 s and the error from the dynamic stability test is less than 0.06% of rated output of torque cell. The designed control system may be used to control a DC generator which may be used to apply torque to a rotating shaft.
