Injuries to the menisci occur in a variety of ways, most commonly with a twist, pivot, squat, or valgus stress to the knee. Tear patterns are classified to longitudinal, horizontal, or transverse features according to the mechanism of injury. Work-related meniscal tear usually occurs with a repetitive usage of the foot, hence it can be classified as a cumulative traumatic disorder. We found a 47 year-old female worker who had been taking charge of repetitive foot-switch stepping for 8 years. She suffered from pain in the right knee since 5 months ago. Tenderness along the medial joint line of the right knee was observed and pain was aggravated with full flexion of the right knee. On magnetic resonance imaging, high signal intensity was observed at the posterior horn of the medial meniscus of the right knee. Degenerative longitudinal and transverse complex tear in the medial meniscus was observed on arthroscopy. Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy was performed. We surveyed the work process and the health status of co-workers. It turned out that the work process was compatible to injure the meniscus and nine out of fourteen co-worker(64.3%) complained pain of the knee. No other factors related to her meniscal tear could be found except for the situation at her work. Therefore, we conclude that meniscal tear is related to the repetitive stepping of foot switch.

교류전위차법 (alternating current potential drop : ACPD)을 이용하여 이차원 표면균열을 갖고 있는 상자성체 (paramagnetic material)의 모드 I (opening mode) 응력확대계수($K_I$)를 실험적으로 평가하기 위하여 하중에 따른 교류전위차 변화(change in ACPD)를 연구하였다. 아울러 하중에 의한 전위차 변화의 원인 그리고 전위차 변화에 미치는 자속(magnetic flux) 탈자(demagnetization) 및 균열길이의 영향을 연구하였다. 상자성체의 교류전위차는 인장하중을 증가시킬수록 선형적으로 감소하였다. 전위차 감소의 원인은 균열선단 주위의 도전율(conductivity)이 인장하중의 증가에 따라 증가하고 이는 시험편의 저항과 내부 인덕턴스를 감소시키기 때문이다. 도전율의 변화는 균열선단 주변의 응력상태에 의존하기 때문에 일정 $K_I$ 변화에 따른 전위차 변화량은 균열길이에 의존하지 않는다. 하중에 의한 전위차변화량은 시험편 주위의 자속의 유무에 영향을 받지만 탈자의 유무에는 영향을 받지 않는다.

교류전위차법 (alternating current potential drop : ACPD)을 이용하여 이차원 표면균열을 갖고 있는 강자성체 (ferromagnetic material)와 상자성체 (paramagnetic material)의 모드 I (opening mode) 응력확대계수($K_I$)를 효과적으로 계측하는 방법을 개발하기 위하여 하중에 따른 교류전위차 변화(change in ACPD)에 미치는 자속(magnetic flux)의 영향을 연구하였다. 그리고 하중에 따른 전위차 변화에 미치는 탈자(demagnetization) 및 균열길이의 영향을 연구하였다. 기전력을 많이 유도할 수 있도록 설계된 계측계의 경우 하중에 따른 교류전위차 변화량은 크게 증가하였다. 아울러 교류전위차 변화와 응력확대계수 변화 사이의 관계는 탈자 등의 조치가 없어도 선형적이며, 탈자는 전위차 변화에 거의 영향을 미치지 않았다. 일정 $K_I$ 변화에 의한 전위차 변화량은 균열길이에 의존하지 않고 계측계에 의존한다. 교류전위차법을 이용하여 효과적으로 응력확대계수를 결정하는 방법은 기전력을 많이 유도할 수 있도륵 설계된 계측계를 사용하여 교류전위차 변화를 측정하는 것이다.

The loss of green coloration via chlorophyll (Chl) degradation typically occurs during leaf senescence. To date, many Chl catabolic enzymes have been identified and shown to interact with light harvesting complex II to form a Chl degradation complex in senescing chloroplasts; this complex might metabolically channel phototoxic Chl catabolic intermediates to prevent oxidative damage to cells. The Chl catabolic enzyme 7-hydroxymethyl Chl a reductase (HCAR) converts 7-hydroxymethyl Chl a (7-HMC a) to Chl a. The rice (Oryza sativa) genome contains a single HCAR homolog (OsHCAR), but its exact role remains unknown. Here, we show that an oshcar knockout mutant exhibits persistent green leaves during both dark-induced and natural senescence, and accumulates 7-HMC a and pheophorbide a (Pheo a) in green leaf blades. Interestingly, both rice and Arabidopsis hcar mutants exhibit severe cell death at the vegetative stage; this cell death largely occurs in a light intensity-dependent manner. In addition, 7-HMC a treatment led to the generation of singlet oxygen ($^1O_2$) in Arabidopsis and rice protoplasts in the light. Under herbicide-induced oxidative stress conditions, leaf necrosis was more severe in hcar plants than in wild type, and HCAR-overexpressing plants were more tolerant to reactive oxygen species than wild type. Therefore, in addition to functioning in the conversion of 7-HMC a to Chl a in senescent leaves, HCAR may play a critical role in protecting plants from high light-induced damage by preventing the accumulation of 7-HMC a and Pheo a in developing and mature leaves at the vegetative stage.

본 논문에서는 여러 연구자들이 반타원형 표면균열에 대한 응력확대계수의 수 정계수(correction factor)을 이론해석, 수치해석 및 실험해석 등을 통하여 구했는데, 그 결과는 서로가 5∼100%의 차이를 나타내고 있는 것이다. 이 때문에 표면균열에 대한 연구보고는 다른 분야에 비하여 비교적 적은 편이며, 현재까지 펴면균열의 피로 성장거동에 대한 정열이 설정되어 있지 못한 실정인 것이다. 이에 저자들은 표면균 열의 피로성장거동에 대한 다각적인 연구계획을 추진하고 있는 중이며, 본 보고서는 그 제1단계 연구로서, 초기 표면균열의 크기가 피로균열성장거동에 미치는 영향을 규 명하기 위한 실험적인 연구결과이다.

In order to operate an RPV safely it is necessary to keep the pressure-temperature (P-T) limit during the heatup and cooldown process. While the ASME Code provides the P-T limit curve for safe operation, this limit curve has been prepared under conservative assumptions In this paper the effects of conservative assumptions involved in the P-T limit curve specified in the ASME Code Sec. XI were investigated. Three different parameters the crack depth the cladding thickness and the cooling rate, were reviewed based on 3-D finite element analyses. Also the constraint effect on P-T limit curve generation was investigated based on J- T approach. It was shown that the crack depth and the constraint effect change the safe region in P-T limit curve significantly Therefore it is recommended to prepare a more precise P-T limit curve based on finite element analysis to obtain P-T limit for safe operation of an RPV.

In this paper, we investigated the characteristics of fatigue fracture on TB(Tailored Blank) weldment by comparing the fatigue crack propagation characteristics of base metal with those of TB welded sheet used for vehicle body panels. We also investigated the influence of center crack on the fatigue characteristic of laser weld sheet of same thickness. We conducted an experiment on fatigue crack propagation on the base metal specimen of 1.2mm thickness of cold-rolled metal sheet(SPCSD) and 2.0mm thickness of hot-rolled metal sheet(SAPH440) and 1.2+2.0mm TB specimen. We also made an experiment on fatigue crack propagation on 2.0+2.0mm and 1.2+1.2mm thickness TB specimen which had center crack. The characteristics of fatigue crack growth on the base metal were different from those on 1.2+2.0mm thickness TB specimen. The fatigue crack growth rate of the TB welded specimens is slower in low stress intensity factor range $({\Delta}K)$ region and faster in high${\Delta}K$ region than that of the base metal specimens. The slant crack angle slightly influenced the crack propagation of the TB specimen of 2.0+2.0mm thinkness.

본 연구는 재생골재를 사용한 콘크리트의 강도 및 파괴특성을 고찰하므로써 콘크리트 포장체에 적용성 여부를 검토하기 위해 수행하였다. 재생콘크리트의 초기강도는 낮았으나 재령 증가에 따라 기준콘크리트와 거의 유사한 값을 나타내었으며. 탄성계수는 골재 강성 차이로 인하여 낮게 나타났다. 또한 고로슬래그 미분말을 혼합한 재생콘크리트의 강도개선효과를 확인할 수 있었다. TPFM에 의한 파괴에너지는 초기재령에서 재생콘크리트의 파괴특성이 우수한 것으로 나타났으나, 재령증가에 따라 기준콘크리트와 유사한 값으로 나타났다. 또한 P-CMOD 측정결과로부터 이론적으로 구한 탄성계수 및 인장강도와 실험으로 구한 탄성계수 및 쪼갬인장 강도사이의 상관성은 매우 높은 결과를 나타내어 시험방법의 신뢰성을 확인할 수 있었다.

To investgate the fracture behavior of the steel fiber reinforced concreate, the specimens with different steel fiber contents of 0.0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, were made and notched with differents notch depth ratios of 0.0,0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and the three point bend tests were followed. Test results of 16 different types of above combined specimens were summarized as follows. 1.The load line deflection contents were found to increase 5%, 16%, 19%, respectively, compared to the unnotched specimen with the increased of initial notch depth ratio to 0.2,0.4, 0.6, respectively. 2.The frexural strength were found to decrease 14%, 16%, 21 %, respectively, compared to the unnotched specimen with the increase of initial notch depth ratio to 0.2, 0.4, 0.6,respectively. 3.The stress intensity factors of the steel fiber reinforced concrete were found to increase 1.1 1.5 1.9 times, respectively, compared to the concrete with no steel fiber content with the increase of fiber content to 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, respectively. 4.The influence of the mass of the steel fiber reinforced concrete to the whole fracture energy was found to be minor with 6~8 % contribution. 5.The fracture energy of the steel fiber reinforced concrete, considering the load-deflection curve and concrete mass was found to be approximately 350-380kg m/m$^2$. 6.The regression analysis through the relationship between the compressive(Oc)/tensile (OT) strength and fracture energy(Gf) showed that the fracture energy of the steel fiber reinforced concrete could be predicted as follows. Gf= 19.2662 Oc - 3940.4 Gf= 246.876 OT- 6008.8
