Implant success is achieved by the synergistic combination of numerous biomechanical factors. This report examines the mechanical aspect of implants. In particular, it is focused on macrodesign such as thread shape, pitch, width and depth, and crestal module of implants. This study reviews the literature regarding the effect of implant thread geometry on primary stability and osseointegration under immediate loading. The search strategy included both in vitro and in vivo studies published in the MEDLINE database from January 2000 to June 2014. Various geometrical parameters are analyzed to evaluate their significance for optimal stress distribution, implant surface area, and bone remodeling responses during the process of osseointegration.

In this study, tap wear was analyzed not only to predict the tap life time but also to propose an improved tap design. Because rake angle and thread relief of tap are the significant factors in geometry of tap, these two factors were picked as the experiment variables. The experiment was conducted with six types of tap which have 6$^{\circ}$ , 8$^{\circ}$ and 12$^{\circ}$ of rake angles with 0,08mm and 0.14 mm of thread relief. From the measured cutting force, it could be known that cutting torque was low at the large the rake thread relief and tool life was long as rake angle became large. Eventually, tool life is longest when rake angle is 12$^{\circ}$ and the with 0.08mm thread relief. Aand the width of crater wear and that of flank wear were measured when a tapping torque was 20 [$kg_f$-mm] . Most of the measured values were above the width of tool wear[$V_B$=O.O3m], which means that tool life is over.

Drop deformation in a cylindrical contraction geometry, characterized here by the formation of a thread of drop fluid in the contraction, is predicted using a Volume-of-Fluid numerical technique. The predicted drop shape is found to closely follow the observed deformation. A capillary instability in the developing drop thread in the contraction was predicted, in agreement with experimental observation.

Selective laser melting (SLM), one of the most widely used powder bed fusion (PBF) additive manufacturing (AM) technology, enables the fabrication of customized metallic parts with complex geometry by layer-by-layer fashion. However, SLM inherently poses several problems such as the discontinuities in the molten track and the steep temperature gradient resulting in a high degree of residual stress. To avoid such defects, thisstudy proposes a temperature thread multiscale model of SLM for the evaluation of the process at different scales. In microscale melt pool analysis, the laser beam parameters were evaluated based on the predicted melt pool morphology to check for lack-of-fusion or keyhole defects. The analysis results at microscale were then used to build an equivalent body heat flux model to obtain the residual stress distribution and the part distortions at the macroscale (part level). To identify the source of uneven heat dissipation, a liquid lifetime contour at macroscale was investigated. The predicted distortion was also experimentally validated showing a good agreement with the experimental measurement.

Blind rivet nuts are increasingly used in automotive for the joining of sheets. Their application, however, requires appropriate design guides to prevent catastrophic events arising from the failure of joints. In this study, the shaft shape of a frequently used M8 blind rivet nut is optimized based on 3D numerical analysis of the blind rivet nut considering the characteristics of thread. The thread needs to be modeled to suitably consider the fastening of the M8 bolt after the crimping process. FE analysis showed that while the friction in the contact between crimp flange and plate has no significant effect on the crimp geometry, shaft thickness (t) and shaft height (h) are the most significant design variables. The parameter study including various combinations of t and h reveals that they affect the gap (the distance between the crimped flange and the plate that develops through riveting) and the load acting on the plate. The gap is an indicator of the tightening force. It is found that t is inversely proportional to the gap, and proportional to the load, whereas h is proportional to the gap and inversely proportional to the load. Based on our FE analysis results, we propose the range 0.062 < t/h < 0.1 to ensure sufficient fastening (high clamping load, small gap) of the M8 blind rivet nut. The design guide for determining the t/h ratio proposed in this study can be used for general quantitative analysis of the size and the t/h ratio of blind rivet nuts.

This paper aims at developing a torque model for the high-speed tapping with small-diameter taps. As recent industries such as automobile and information technology grows, taps smaller than 5mm in diameter are needed much more. In that occasion, the friction force between a tap surface and a workpiece plays much more important role in the tapping torque than in he larger tapping. Tapping mechanism was analysed based on the tap geometry. It has two steps : one is a forward cutting composed of the chamfered threading and full threading and the other is the backward cutting. The torque by the cutting force in the chamfered threading is calculated using the cutting area and the specific cutting force while the torque by the friction force, which is rather dominant than the cutting force both in the full threading and in the backward cutting, is calculated using the normal force on the threads and the friction coefficient. The experiment has shown that the results by the proposed torque model fit quite well with the acutal measurements within the error of 10%.

This paper describes a new bike system for the postural balance rehabilitation training. Virtual environment and three dimensional graphic model is designed with CAD tools such as 3D Studio Max and World Up. For the real time bike simulation, the optimized WorldToolKit graphic library is embedded with the dynamic geometry generation method, multi-thread method, and portal generation method. In this experiment, 20 normal adults were tested to investigate the influencing factors of balancing posture. We evaluated the system by measuring the parameters such as path deviation, driving velocity, COP(center for pressure), and average weight shift. Also, we investigated the usefulness of visual feedback information by weight shift. The results showed that continuous visual feedback by weight shift was more effective than no visual feedback in the postural balance control It is concluded this system might be applied to clinical use as a new postural balance training system.

A low cost PC based simulator for excavator manipulation has been developed using virtual reality technology. The simulator consists of two joystick input devices, server and client PCs, an excavator kinematics module, and a graphic rendering program Open Inventor. In order to use two joysticks in the PC window environment multi-thread programing with network protocol TCP/IP has been used. To provide realistic view to the operator, CAD program Pro/Engineer and 3D modeller have been employed to create 3D part geometry of tile manipulator and virtual environmental geometries. Those geometries also have been transformed and imported to the Open Inventor. The Simulator developed is to be improved for more realistic excavator operational training.

The stress distribution generated in the surrounding bone was calculated and compared for various geometry of the dental implants by means of the finite element methods. The models were designed to represent the screw type endosseous implants(varing the size, shape, direction of the screw thread and the angle of the body) with supporting bone and the cylinder type endosseous implants(varing the lower portion-Round type, tapered type) with supporting bone. Static mean bite forces were applied 100N vertically and 25N horizontally on the center of the implant and three dimensional finite analysis was undertaken using software ANSYS 5.1 Version. The result demonstrated that different implant shape leads to significant variations in stress distribution in the bone. In the case of variation of the screw size, direction and shape the implant model with normally directional and triangular screw implied lower stress than with upper directional or lower directional and quadrangular screw but among models a different screw size, within a variation of 0.2mm there was no meaningful difference in maximum stress. In the case of variation of angle of body the straight implied lower stress than the tapered. As a result of analysis of cylinder type, the implants with larger radius of curvature of the round form and larger diameter of the tapered form implied lower stress.

In this study, landscape changes were examined by periods through the analysis of visual quantity on the landscape components of national road including the mountains, the sky, road pavements, street trees, paddy fields and dry fields, billboard, telegraph pole, building, structure, slope, guard fence, soundproof wall, and median strip etc. For this, subject national road in suburb arreas was selected to grasp its landscape characteristics, and divisional criteria of landscape type of the national road were suggested to look into the trend of landscape changes by periods. Findings of this study are as follows：1.Divisional criteria of landscape type of the national road include location and geometry, structure, land use, perspective, and surrounding buildings of the national road. 2.The highest visual quantity was found in road pavements by periods among landscape components of the national road. It was found that this result has a thread of connection with previous study emphasizing the importance of road geometry as one of landscape components, and road geometry shall be regarded as a visually significant component in analyzing and evaluating landscape of the national road. 3.Most distinguished factors of landscape changes of the national road by periods were median strip(F＝33.296) and street tree(F＝32.881), and then the sky(F＝24.735) and mountain(F＝23.477) showed similar level of statistically significant difference. However, statistically significance difference was not found in buildings and structures. 4.It was shown that natural elements decreased gradually but structural landscape made of artificial elements became the main in construction of the national road. This result implies that although the scenic and ecological soundness is recognized in construction of the national road, it is not out of the limitation of functionalities that is, access and mobility.
