A patient with TMJ osteoarthritis and anterior open bite was treated with an intermaxillary traction device. Pretreatment examination revelaed a pain in both TMJ during mouth opening, moderate tendernesso f left sternocleidomastoid and right trapezius muscles. Anterior open Bite was aobserved with interincisal distance of 2mm. Tomograms and MRI showed anterior disc displacement withouit reductoin of both temporomandibular joints, and the condyles were flattened and slightly eroded. A pair of full-coverage occlusal appliances was made on both maxillary and mandibular dentition, with pivoting fulcrum on the site of the second moalr. Traction force was gained by the intermaxillary orthodontic elastics which were hooked by orthodontic brackets on the labial surfaces of the upper and lower anterior and premolar teeth. After 8 weeks of traction treatment, the joint pain was subsided completely and the anterior open bite was closed to get an edge to edge relationship of anterior teeth.

In this paper, an algorithm of reconstructing the armature current of the battery car is presented by using MOSFET's on-voltage of the dc chopper and a corresponding circuit is developed with the low-cost analog multiplexer. For driving comfort, the armature current of the motor or the traction force should be properly controlled when the car changes the direction and is accelerated or decelerated and climbs up or down the hill. Therefore, an information of the current is needed for the traction control. The proposed reconstruction algorithm is experimentally verified.

To restrain contact failure, present study investigates the influence of edge machining of an indenter (punch). As for the edge machining, rounding, chamfering, and chamfering and rounding are considered. Contact mechanics is consulted to examine the traction profile and the size of the contact region which are directly influenced by the end profile of the indenter. The effect of rounding size (i.e., radius) in the case of the chamfering and rounding edge-indenter is studied. Shear traction is also evaluated within the regime of partial slip. Size of slip region and its expansion rate due to the increase of shear force are considered to investigate the shape effect of the indenter on contact failure.

With the active development of hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), the application of interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) has been expanded. As wide driving region of IPMSM for electric vehicle (EV) traction motor is required, many studies are conducted to improve characteristics of a motor in both low and high-speed driving regions. A motor in high-speed driving region generates (produces) large stress to the rotor. Thus, the rotor needs to be designed considering the mechanical safety. Therefore, in this paper, we conducted stress analysis and electromagnetic analysis to determine the centerpost's distance which is considered important during the design of IPMSM for EV traction motor in order to secure mechanical safety and satisfy specifications of output requirement.

The effect of the alignment of the contacting bodies is concerned. Tilting of a body (indenter) is regarded as a mis-alignment. Recently developed method fur evaluating the contact normal traction is introduced and discussed, in which piecewise parabolic profile is considered as a generalized contact profile. Indentation by a wedge with rounded apex is solved as an example problem. In the case of partial slip regime, the variation of shear traction is examined during the closed path of shear force by using the efficient numerical technique. Concentration of the slip region is also investigated. By evaluating the energy dissipation from the contact surface, the effect of the mis-alignment-alignment on wear is discussed.

본 연구에서는 급곡선과 급구배가 많은 산악 도로 상의 궤도에서 운행할 수 있는 산악트램의 추진시스템 핵심 기술을 개발하였다. 국내 산악 관광지는 겨울철 폭설과 결빙에 의해 교통이 통제되고 있어 지형 조건 뿐만 아니라 기후 조건에도 무관한 산악철도가 필요하다. 먼저, 일반적인 120‰ 구배 등반에 소요되는 견인전동기 출력을 고려하여 추진시스템을 설계하였으며, 추진장치 설치 공간을 고려하여 동력 전달 계통을 설계하고 감속기 및 동력 전달축을 개발하였다. 급구배 상승을 위해 필요한 랙앤피니언 추진장치의 강체 접촉에 의한 진동 소음을 줄이기 위해 탄성 피니언을 개발하여 적용하였으며, 충격 비교 시험을 통해 기존 강체 피니언에 비해 진동이 1/3이하로 감소됨을 확인하였다. 반경 10m의 급곡선을 운행할 수 있도록 개별 회전 차륜 차축을 개발하였다. 또한 급구배 주행중 제동력 향상을 위해 밴드 제동장치를 개발하였으며, 제동력 시험을 통해 요구 제동력을 발휘할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 개발된 주요 부품은 시험을 통해 성능을 검증하였고, 최종적으로 급구배 및 급곡선 운행 대차시스템에 적용된다.

최근 전투에서 인명 손실을 최소화하기 위해 사람이 접근하기 어려운 지역에서 부상병을 구조해내는 로봇(Vecna Bear type robot)이 개발되고 있다. Vecna BEAR 형 로봇은 험한 지형을 주행하게 되므로 큰 진동 및 전복에 의해 부상자에게 충격을 가할 수 있다. 이러한 로봇의 안정성을 보장하기 위해서는 다양한 환경에 대해 주행 한계속도를 실시간으로 추정할 수 있는 알고리즘이 요구된다. 따라서 한계속 도추정 알고리즘을 수행하기 위하여 실시간 해석이 가능한 동역학 모델이 필요하다. Vecna BEAR 형 로봇의 구동부인 궤도는 실제로 많은 요소로 구성되어 있기 때문에 궤도의 다물체 동역학 모델에 의한 실시간 해석은 불가능하다. 그러므로 적은 해석량과 합당한 정확성을 만족하는 lumped 궤도 모델이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 lumped 궤도 모델링을 수행하였고, 다물체 동역학 상용 프로그램인 RecurDyn 을 이용하여 견인력을 검증하였다.

Objective: The aims of this study were to investigate mandibular deformation under clenching and to estimate its effect on the stability of orthodontic mini-implants (OMI). Methods: Three finite element models were constructed using computed tomography (CT) images of 3 adults with different mandibular plane angles (A, low; B, average; and C, high). An OMI was placed between #45 and #46 in each model. Mandibular deformation under premolar and molar clenching was simulated. Comparisons were made between peri-orthodontic mini-implant compressive strain (POMI-CSTN) under clenching and orthodontic traction forces (150 g and 200 g). Results: Three models with different mandibular plane angles demonstrated different functional deformation characteristics. The compressive strains around the OMI were distributed mesiodistally rather than occlusogingivally. In model A, the maximum POMI-CSTN under clenching was observed at the mesial aspect of #46 (1,401.75 microstrain [${\mu}E$]), and similar maximum POMI-CSTN was observed under a traction force of 150 g (1,415 ${\mu}E$). Conclusions: The maximum POMI-CSTN developed by clenching failed to exceed the normally allowed compressive cortical bone strains; however, additional orthodontic traction force to the OMI may increase POMI-CSTN to compromise OMI stability.

Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is an undulatory nematode which exhibits two distinct locomotion types of swimming and crawling. Although in its natural habitat C. elegans lives in a non-Newtonian fluidic environment, our current understanding has been limited to the behavior of C. elegans in a simple Newtonian fluid. Here, we present some experimental results on the penetrating behavior of C. elegans at the interface from liquid to solid environment. Once C. elegans, which otherwise swims freely in a liquid, makes a contact to the solid gel boundary, it begins to penetrate vertically to the surface by changing its stroke motion characterized by a stiffer body shape and a slow stroke frequency. The particle image velocimetry (PIV) analysis reveals the flow streamlines produced by the stroke of worm. For the worm that crawls on a solid surface, we utilize a technique of traction force microscopy (TFM) to find that the crawling nematode forms localized force islands along the body where makes direct contacts to the gel surface.

This paper describes a design method for the corner radius of a contacting body using the theoretical approach of contact mechanics. A complete contact, as in the case of a sharp-cornered punch, produces singular contact traction: whereas, in an incomplete contact, the singular contact traction disappears because of the rounded corners, and the contact edges are within the rounded regions. The design method aims to determine the conditions of the contact force as well as the material properties in an incomplete contact. The incomplete contact changes into the complete contact again when the contact edges exceed the rounded regions owing to either an increased contact force or the compliance of the materials. The contact length of a rounded punch is used as a parameter to derive the required conditions. As a result, a design formula is obtained, which provides a minimum allowable radius when the materials, normal contact force, and the length of a flat region of the punch are predetermined. This work consists of two parts: Part I includes a theoretical background, design method, and formula, and Part II describes the actual process with the investigation of design parameters.
