The authors investigate the feasibility of applying a vision-based displacement-measurement technique in the characterization of a SMA damper recently introduced in the literature. The experimental campaign tests a steel frame on a uni-axial shaking table driven by sinusoidal signals in the frequency range from 1Hz to 5Hz. Three different cameras are used to collect the images, namely an industrial camera and two commercial smartphones. The achieved results are compared. The camera showing the better performance is then used to test the same frame after its base isolation. U-shaped, shape-memory-alloy (SMA) elements are installed as dampers at the isolation level. The accelerations of the shaking table and those of the frame basement are measured by accelerometers. A system of markers is glued on these system components, as well as along the U-shaped elements serving as dampers. The different phases of the test are discussed, in the attempt to obtain as much possible information on the behavior of the SMA elements. Several tests were carried out until the thinner U-shaped element went to failure.

Impression ragistration is an improtant and difficult phase of prosthodontic treatment procedures and a tray of appropriate size and shape is essential to obtain the accurate impression. Particularly, in edentulous patients, the size and forms of their residual alveolar ridges are different from one another. Therefore, in this study, various measurements were taken on the edentulous models. And the measurements were analyzed and compared with one another. The results were as follows ; 1. The mean of denture bearing area was $32.86cm^2$ in the upper jaws, $24.20cm^2$ in the lower jaws and the variation of denture bearing area was greater in the upper than in the lower jaws and in males than in females. 2. The mean of A-P(anteroposterior) ridge length was 48.72mm in the upper jaws, 53.05mm in the lower jaws and that of males was longer than that of females. 3. The mean of most posterior ridge width was 47.23mm in the upper jaws, 58.03mm in the lower jaws and the difference of that between males and females was least in both jaws. 4. In the upper jaws, the mean of ridge width was 29.66mm on anterior 1/4, 42.79mm on middle, 48.95mm on posterior 1/4 line and the mean of palatal height was 4.56mm on anterior 1/4, 10.01mm on middle, 10.84mm on posterior 1/4 line. 5. In the lower jaws, the mean of ridge width was 33.24mm on anterior 1/4, 50.19mm on middle, 59.16mm on posterior 1/4 line and the mean of lingual ridge height was 5.49mm on anterior 1/4, 9.16mm on middle, 16.72mm on posterior 1/4 line. 6. The correlation coefficient(=r) between denture bearing area and A-P ridge length was 0.83 in the upper jaws and 0.75 in the lower jaws. The corelation between denture bearing area and AP ridge length was statistically significant, but, between denture bearing area and A-P ridge length and between A-P ridge length and the most posterior ridge width was not statistically significant in both jaws. 7. Alveolar ridge forms were classified into three(ovoid, "u" shape, and "v"shape) categories. In the upper jaws, ovoid was 66%, "u" shape was 24%, and "v" shape was 10%, in the lower jaws, ovoid was 66.7%, "u" shape was 20%, and "v" shape was 13.3%.

도심지나 보안건물과 근접한 곳에서 폭약을 사용하는 발파작업이 수행되는 경우 지반진동 및 소음의 영향을 최소화 시킬 필요가 있다. 이러한 지반진동과 소음은 암반의 천공내에 장전된 폭약이 기폭되며 주변 암반을 파괴하고 남은 일부 충격에너지에 의하여 발생된다. 최근 천공 내 U형 철재장약홀더를 삽입하여 충격파의 전파방향을 제어하여 자유면방향으로 파쇄효과를 유지하며 암반 내로 전파하는 충격진동을 감쇄시키는 발파 공법이 제안되었다. 본 연구에서는 U형 철재장약홀더를 적용한 암반발파에서 충격파의 전파특성을 파악하기 위하여, AUTODYN 소프트웨어를 이용하여 장약홀더 내 장전된 폭약의 폭굉을 모사하고 주변암반에 전달된 충격파를 측정하였다. 또한 장약홀더 발파의 암파쇄 효과를 파악하기 위하여 동적파괴과정해석코드인 DFPA(Dynamic Fracture Process Analysis)를 적용하여 장약홀더를 이용한 장약조건을 고려한 2자유면 발파를 모사하였다. 일반발파의 장약조건을 고려한 충격파 발생 및 파괴과정해석을 추가적으로 수행하여 장약홀더의 암파쇄효과를 비교하였다.

Purpose: The majority of nasal bone fractures have been managed by routine procedure of closed reduction and intranasal packing. However, nasal packing can cause nasal injury, hypoxia and patient's discomfort. And, synechiae formation is a frequently occurred after the nasal surgery. Various methods are used to reduce the incidence of synechiae formation. The purpose of this study was to compare routine procedure and nasal packing with reverse "U" shaped silicone sheet with respect to postoperative nasal synechiae formation and final outcome. Methods: We analyzed the medical records of 100 patients with nasal bone fracture who were operated by closed reduction in the last one year. The silicone sheet was designed in reverse "U" fan - shape and inserted between the middle turbinate and the septal wall. Nasal packing was removed at two days after the operation, and silicone sheet was removed at 10 to 14 days. Results: Synechiae in the middle meatus developed in 2 of 75 patients. Although synechiae between the middle meatus and nasal septum occurred in patients, the patients did not complaint of any olfactory disturbance and nasal obstruction. Conclusion: The reverse "U" fan - shape silicone sheet caused less pain for patients and no significant differences in outcome were found. The results of this study suggest that insertion of silicone sheet between the middle meatus and septum can be a useful method in the prevention of intranasal synechiae formation. The reverse "U" silicone sheet is a good alternative for routine packing methods.

In the past, several experimental investigations aiming at characterizing the natural circulation (NC) behavior in test facilities were carried out. They showed a variety of flow patterns characterized by an inverted U-shape of the NC flow curve versus primary mass inventory. On the other hand, attempts to reproduce such curves using thermal-hydraulic system codes, showed 10-30% differences between the measured and calculated NC mass flow rate. Actually, the used computer codes are generally based upon nodalization using single U-tube representation. Such model may not allow getting accurate simulation of most of the NC phenomena occurring during such tests (like flow redistribution and flow reversal in some SG U-tubes). Simulations based on multi-U-tubes model, showed better agreement with the overall behavior, but remain unable to predict NC phenomena taking place in the steam generator (SG) during the experiment. In the current study, the CATHARE code is considered in order to assess a NC characterization test performed in the four loops PKL facility. For this purpose, four different SG nodalizations including, single and multi-U-tubes, 1D and 3D SG inlet/outlet zones are considered. In general, it is shown that the 1D and 3D models exhibit similar prediction results up to a certain point of the rising part of the inverted U-shape of the NC flow curve. After that, the results bifurcate with, on the one hand, a tendency of the 1D models to over-predict the measured NC mass flow rate and on the other hand, a tendency of the 3D models to under-predict the NC flow rate.

본 연구에서는 강상판의 U리브를 현장에서 상향의 용접자세로 용접이음을 실시할 경우, 용접이음부에는 시공오차에 의한 단차가 발생하고, 응력집중이 발생하기 쉽다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이면재가 부착된 용접이음부에 대해 응력해석 및 실험을 실시하였다. 이면재가 부착된 U리브 용접이음부의 단차, 루트부 형상, 루트갭 및 이면재의 폭과 두께를 변화시켜 응력해석을 실시한 결과, 단차가 커질수록 응력집중계수는 현저히 증가하였으며, 루트갭도 커질수록 응력집중계수가 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 단차 및 루트갭이 동일한 경우에는 루트부 형상이 직각인 경우보다 반원인 경우에 응력집중계수가 작게 나타났으며, 이면재의 폭 및 두께는 응력집중계수에 그다지 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이면재가 부착된 시험편의 피로실험에서는 단차가 커질수록 피로수명이 현저히 저하되었으며 피로균열은 이면재가 부착된 모재측 루트부에서 발생하여 용접비드 표면측으로 전파하였다. 응력해석에서 루트부의 형상이 반원인 경우, 응력집중계수가 작게 나타나므로, 용접조건을 변화시켜 루트부 곡률반경 및 플랭크각을 제어하는 루트부 형상제어법를 개발하였다.
