This study proposed design parameters of opening spring of circuit breaker that cut off the over-current in order to protect the electric device about opening speed using the energy method. We simulated the opening kinetic energy, the potential energy of opening spring and the design parameters of opening spring with respect to opening speed of VCB (Vacuum Circuit Breaker)'s moving contactor which has 24kV 25kA break capacity. From the result of simulation the initial tensional force and the final tensional force of the opening spring chose 107kgf and 282kgf respectively. Through the dynamic analysis using ADAMS, We verified that the opening speed of moving contactor satisfied break capacity of VCB and analyzed opening dynamic characteristics of VCB such as the opening displacement, the opening velocity and the opening acceleration of moving contactor in time domain.

치주인대에 일회성의 적절한 인장력을 가하였을 때 견인측 치근막에서 나타나는 혈관성장인자(VEGF)와 그 수용체(VEGFR)의 발현의 변화를 보기 위해 본 연구를 시행하였다. 8-10주된 Sprague-Dawley계 웅성 백서(rat)에서 상악좌측 제1대구치에 closed coil을 이용하여 근심 방향으로의 교정력을 가하였으며 1시간, 12시간, 1일, 3일, 1주, 2주 군으로 분리하여 각 군 당 5마리씩의 실험동물을 배정하였다. 우측 제1대구치는 치경부에 ligature wire만 결찰하고 동일 실험시간이 지난 후 대조군으로 이용하였다. 견인력이 가해진 치근막에서 VEGF와 VEGFR 및 이들의 mRNA의 발현 양상의 변화를 H&E 염색 및 면역조직화학적 염색과 in situ hybridization법으로 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 치주인대에 인장력을 가하면 치주인대의 신장으로 인한 혈관의 압박에 의해 울혈과 부분적인 출혈상이 초기에 나타났으나 3일 이내에 대조군과 같은 정도로 회복되었으며 신생골의 형성은 3일 이후 나타나서 2주간 지속되었다. 2. 치주인대에 인장력을 가하면 치주인대 세포와 조골세포, 백악아세포에서의 VEGF와 VEGF mRNA의 발현증가가 나타나며 이는 치주인대 혈관의 증가로 이어졌다. 3. 인장력을 가하고 3일 이후에는 VEGF와 VEGF mRNA의 발현은 주로 치조골 인접면의 치주인대세포와 조골세포에서만 관찰되었으며 2주후에는 VEGF와 VEGF mRNA, 치주인대혈관 모두 대조군과 유사한 정도로 감소하였다. 4. VEGF 수용체인 Flt-1과 Flk-1은 거의 동일한 발현 양상을 보였으며 주로 혈관 내피세포와 조골세포에서 관찰되었으나 치주인대에 인장력을 가하면 초기에 혈관내피세포에서 그 발현이 증가하였다. 조골세포에서의 발현증가는 내피세포에 비교해서 다소 늦게 나타났으나 발현의 증가는 더 뚜렷하였다. 결론적으로 교정력을 가했을 때 견인측 치주인대의 치주인대세포와 조골세포, 백악아세포에서 VEGF와 VEGF mRNA의 발현이 증가하며 이에 이어 혈관의 증가가 나타나고 신생골의 형성은 혈관의 증가 후에 나타나는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 백악아세포에서 발현이 증가된 VEGF mRNA는 치조골측으로 편재해 있던 혈관이 견인의 방향으로 치아를 향해 성장하도록 유도하는 것으로 사료되었다. VEGFR 및 VEGFR mRNA는 내피세포 뿐 아니라 조골세포와 골세포, 치주인대세포에서도 발현이 증가하여 VEGF가 paracrine한 방식 뿐 아니라 autocrine한 방식으로도 작용함을 알 수 있었다.

Orthodontic tooth movement results from the combinational process of both bone resorption and formation in the compressive and tension sides, respectively. However, the genes responsible for new bone formation in tension sides have not been determined. In this study, we used DNA microarray and real-time RT-PCR to identify genes in human periodontal ligament (PDL) cells that undergo significant changes in expression in response to static tensional forces (2 or 12 hours). The genes found were alkaline phospatase (ALP), matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and several collagen genes. Furthermore, an ELISA evaluating the expression of VEGF, type IV collagen and MMP-2 found levels significantly increased after 24 and 72 hours (P < 0.05). ALP activity was also increased after 24 hours (P < 0.05). Collectively, we found the genes up-regulated in our study by the static tensional force are related to osteogenic processes such as matrix synthesis and angiogenesis.

In the motorized retractor of the smart seat belt system, anti-overload clutch is a very important element to prevent the excessive belt tensional force. Anti-overload clutch is the essential device to protect drivers from chest damage by the excessive belt tension. It generates slipping motion under excessive webbing moment and the belt tensional force is limited below critical value. In this study, slipping mechanism in the antioverload clutch is investigated by analysis and experiment. On the prototype model, finite element analysis is performed to identify the slipping condition and to determine the critical load. Analysis result is compared with the experimental result and the validity of the analysis model is verified. The purpose of the study is to provide the analytical background for the systematic design of the anti-overload clutch mechanism.

There are many methods for analyzing underground box structures. One is the method of Iterative removal of tensional spring. The other is the method of modeling of ground to 8-node elastic-plastic planar element. In this study, We use inelastic soil spring element for analyzing underground box structures. First, if N-value is over 50, the results of inelastic soil spring method is the same as the method of 8-node planar element in last stage. Second, as N is increasing, element forces in two methods are generally decreasing. Third, as N-value is increasing, element forces in two method are generally decreasing and displacement has decreasing incline. This is the same as the force-displacement curve of general underground structures.

Different kinds of forces can be applied to the biological tissue. The analysis of the applied force is highly important to explain the mechanism of cellular response. In this study, the applied force to the collagen gel was analyzed by the finite elements analysis. The model received two different kinds of static force (compression and tension). The force range was 50g to 400g. In results, von Mises stress was concentrated in the peripheral region in the compression model. It was concentrated in the central area in the tension model. However, the compressive force was high in the peripheral area of the compression model and the tensional force was also high in the same area of the tension model. In conclusion, the applied force could be different to the region and it should be considered in the experiment to analyze the effects of the mechanical force on the cells.

Generally, it is pointed out that a nonlinear analysis is needed to estimate accurately the water surface fluctuation and dynamic responses of a floating structure in case of large wave reflection. In this study, a frequency-domain method is applied and newly developed to analyze the nonlinear characteristics of the air-chamber floating breakwater. The air-chamber floating breakwater in this study can control well the wave transformation, motions of the structure and its natural frequency by adjusting the air depth in the chamber. Experiments are carried out to verify the numerical results. It is appeared that the mean water level is setup in the anti-node and setdown in the node, while the nonlinearity in wave profile is larger in the node than in the anti-node. Because of vertical mooring system, the sway, especially the time-independent nonlinear component, plays predominant role in the motion. On the other hand, the time-dependent component, as well as the time-independent one to the tensile force of mooring line contributes greatly, and the time averaged value presents tensional force oriented to the onshore side due drift force.

Generally, an adult cleft lip or/and palate patient shows some amount of maxillary deficiency due to limitation of bony growth caused by heavy scars resulted from previous operations such as a cheiloplasty and/or a palatoplasty at an early child age. To solve the problem, advancement of the maxilla is usually required during orthognathic surgery. However, severe tensional force resulted from heavy scars on the palate and/or the lip, as well as the bony defect at the cleft area limited sufficient advancement of the maxillary segment and finally caused relapse of the reposed maxilla. Therefore, distraction osteogenesis of the maxilla was introduced for the successful maxillary advancement inthose kinds of patients. As both hard and soft tissues can be simultaneously and gradually extended with this technique, tensional force caused by heavy scars opposed to forward movement of the maxilla can be reduced to an extent not to develop severe relapse of the advanced maxilla. Since distraction osteogenesis of the maxilla was applied as one of standard protocols for the treatment of the patients with severe maxillary hypoplasia dueto cleft lip and/or palate, the devices for the distraction was improved to control the vectors of distraction with better and more stable. We have treated a 23-year-old male cleft patient with a severe maxillary hypoplasia using a newly developed a maxillary distraction device and a RP model for a pre-operative simulation surgery. As a result, we could successfully move the maxilla as we designed pre-operatively and also reduce much of operation time. Therefore, we report of the case to share our experience with colleagues.

When occlusal force is applied to a tooth, stress concentration occurs on the dental cervical line. This study investigated to find the maximum force and strain of natural teeth using an Instron and strain gauges, comparing the strain of cervical enamel using finite element analysis(FEA). Tests were conducted with a mandibular first premolar applying the conditions of occlusion. Then, the FEA was processed with the same as conditions of the fracture test. The test showed that the maximum force, maximum compressive strain and maximum tensional strain was $278{\pm}26$ N, $0.668{\times}10^{-3}{\pm}0.678{\times}10^{-3}$ and $0.248{\times}10^{-3}{\pm}0.102{\times}10^{-3}$, respectively. It was found that six of eight measured strains were within the range of estimated strains by the FEA. Even though it was assumed that properties of FE models were isotropic, it could prove useful as a reference in understanding the tendency of dental strain.
