When a large peripheral nerve defect occurs, an autologous nerve graft is the most ideal method of recinstruction. But an autologous nerve graft has many limitations due to donor site morbidities. Many previous focused on finding the ideal nerve conduit. Among them, $Gore-Tex^{(R)}$ has several advantages over other conduits. It can be manipulated to a suitable size, does not collapse easily, and it is a semi- permeable material that contain pores. A round shaped nerve can be newly formed because of its smooth inner surface. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the availability of $Gore-Tex^{(R)}$ tube as a nerve conduit at the peripheral nerve defect in the rat sciatic nerve. The 10 mm nerve gap was made in each group. A $Gore-Tex^{(R)}$ tube filled with skeletal muscle was inserted and autologous nerve graft was harvested, respectively. In the experimental group, we placed a 0.5 mm thickness, $30{\mu}m$ pored, 1.8 mm in diameter and 14 mm length tube with skeletal muscle inserted inside. In the control group, the nerve gap was inserted with a rat sciatic nerve. We estimated the results electrophysiologically and histologically to 16 weeks postoperatively. Results in the nerve conduction velocity, total myelinated axon count, myelin sheath thickness and mean nerve fiber diameter, the experimental group was substantially lower than that of the control group, but the statistic difference was not significant (p<0.05). The morphology was very similar in both groups, microscopically. From the above results, We conclude that $Gore-Tex^{(R)}$ qualifies as an ideal nerve conduit. It is suggested that $Gore-Tex^{(R)}$ tube filled with skeletal muscle may, substitute for an autologous nerve graft.

재료의 손상을 평가하기 위하여 초음파법에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되었고 널리 사용되고 있으나 대부분 균열의 성장 또는 두께의 감소와 같은 문제에 집중되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 2.25Cr-1Mo 강을 이용하여 반복하중에 의해 재료내부에 발생하는 미시균열을 조기에 감지하고, 피로에 의한 파괴를 미연에 방지할 수 있도록 초음파 표면파의 감쇠와 속도변화를 이용하여 균열길이 측정의 정량적인 평가방법을 제시하였다. 중심주파수 5MHz의 탐촉자를 이용하여 파단수명비 약 60%, 균열길이 약 2mm 정도에서 표면파의 속도 및 감쇠 변화를 탐지할 수 있었다. 고주파 탐촉자를 이용함으로써 미시균열의 발생을 조기에 탐지할 수 있으며, 파단수명을 예측하는 기초자료로 활용할 수 있다.

원자력 발전소의 많은 배관들은 고온, 고압 환경에서 사용되고 있으며, 부식에 의한 감육 손상이 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 이러한 배관의 감육 손상은 원전 설비가 노후화됨에 따라 점차 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 따라서, 배관 부식에 의한 원전 설비의 사고를 예방하기 위해 배관부의 감육 손상 및 부식 결함을 비파괴적인 방법으로 평가할 필요가 있다. 특히, 원자력 발전소의 배관에서 발생하는 감육 손상을 실시간으로 평가하기 위한 레이저 초음파 기술은 기존의 접촉식 방법이 가지는 한계를 넘어 접근이 어려운 부위에서도 측정이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 비파괴, 비접촉식 평가를 위해 레이저를 이용한 광학적 방법을 적용하였다. 펄스 레이저로 초음파를 발생시키고 레이저 간섭계를 이용하여 초음파 신호를 획득하였으며, 먼저 감육 손상이 없는 배관에서의 초음파 신호를 검출하여 배관 내에서의 종파 속도를 측정하였다. 그리고, 배관의 두께대비 20, 30, 40, 50%의 인위적인 감육 배관을 제작하여 종파 속도를 측정하였다. 측정된 종파 속도를 이용하여 감육 배관의 두께를 계산할 수 있고, 감육 손상 부분(내부결함 깊이)의 정량적 평가도 가능하였다.

록볼트는 숏크리트와 함께 지하구조물의 주지보재로써 중요한 역할을 수행한다. 따라서 록볼트에 발생된 공동결함은 지하구조물의 안정성에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 최근 록볼트 건전도 평가를 위한 비파괴 검사 방법들 중 피에조 디스크 엘리먼트와 음향방출센서를 사용하는 유도초음파의 투과법과 반사법이 우수한 결과를 보여 주었다. 하지만 피에조 디스크 엘리먼트에서 발생되는 파는 현장에 적용하기에 부족한 에너지의 크기를 가진다. 또한 투과법의 경우 현장에서 록볼트 시공시 피에조 디스크 엘리먼트를 철근 끝단에 설치하여 시공하여야 한다. 본 연구의 목적은 충분한 에너지를 발생시킬 수 있는 유도초음파의 반사법을 개발하고 이를 현장에 시공된 록볼트의 건전도를 경가에 적용하는 것이다. 본 연구는 실내실험과 현장실험으로 수행되었다. 충분한 에너지를 갖는 유도초음파를 록볼트 두부에 자국정을 대고 해머로 타격하여 발생시켰으며, 이를 음향방출센서로 수신하였다. 측정된 신호의 분석을 위해 웨이브렛 변환을 이용하였다. 웨이브렛 변환의 최고점으로부터 에너지 속도를 산정하여 록볼트의 건전도를 평가하였다. 유도초음파의 에너지 속도는 실내에 설치된 록볼트 실험체와 현장에 시공된 록볼트의 결함비율이 증가함에 따라 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 해머 타격방법이 현장에서 록볼트 건전도 평가에 유용한 방법이 될 수 있음을 보여 준다.

The purpose of this study is to perform modelings and experiments to measure air flow rate using hot-wires and a CTA(Constant Temperature Anemometer). The flow rate can be obtained by measuring the heat loss of the hot-wire due to the variations of flow velocity when the hot-wire is maintained at uniform temperature. But the defect of this method is that the output signal changes not only by the flow rate but also by the ambient temperature. Thus, in the present study, a method which compensates the variations of the ambient temperature has been introduced to measure exact flow rate. To be more specific, the bridge circuit of the usual hot-wire anemometer system has been modified in such a way that a temperature resistance sensor and a variable resistance are placed in one of the legs to compensate the different temperature coefficients of both the hot-wire and the temperature compensating resistance for flow velocity or for flow mass up to the flow temperature of 50 .deg.C. Comparing the modeling and experimental results, it has been shown that the compensating point differs as the flow rate varies. Therefore, optimum compensation points are sought to construct the circuit. The present modeling and experimental results may be applied to the design of actual air flow meters for automobiles.

CF₄ molecular gas is used in most of semiconductor manufacture processing and SF/sub 6/ molecular gas is widely used in industrial of insulation field. but both of gases have defect in global warming. C₃F/sub 8/ gas has large attachment cross-section more than these gases, moreover GWP, life-time and price of C₃F/sub 8/ gas is lower than them, therefor it is important to calculate transport coefficients of C₃F/sub 8/ gas like electron drift velocity, ionization coefficient, attachment coefficient, effective ionization coefficient and critical E/N. The aim of this study is to get these transport coefficients for imformation of the insulation strength and efficiency of etching process. In this paper, we calculated the electron drift velocity (W) in pure C₃F/sub 8/ molecular gas over the range of E/N=0.1∼250 Td at the temperature was 300 K and gas pressure was 1 Torr by the Boltzmann equation method. The results of this paper can be important data to present characteristic of gas for plasma etching and insulation, specially critical E/N is a data to evaluate insulation strength of a gas.

Hot-wire measurements are performed in boundary layers developing on a NACA0012 airfoil over which wakes pass periodically. The Reynolds number based on chord length of the airfoil is 2$\times$10(sup)5 and the wakes are generated by circular cylinders rotating clockwise and counterclockwise around the airfoil. This paper and its companion Part II describe the phenomena of wake-induced transition of the boundary layers on the airfoil using measured data; phase-and time-averaged streamwise mean velocities, turbulent fluctuations, integral parameters and wall skin frictions. This paper describes the background and facility together with results of time-averaged quantities. Due to the passing wake with mean velocity defects and high turbulence intensities, the laminar boundary layer is periodically disturbed at the upstream station and becomes steady-state transitional boundary layer at the downstream station. The velocity defect in the passing wake changes the local pressure at the leading of the airfoil, significantly affects the time-mean pressure distribution on the airfoil and eventually, has influence on the transition process of the boundary layer.

Recently, to assure the integrity of a structural components such as piping pressure vessels and thinning structure, Lamb wave inspection technique has been used in material evaluation. It is very important to select the optimal Lamb wave mode and to analyze the signal accurately because of its unique dispersion properties grnerating several modes within the speci-men. It this study, the feasibility of material evaluation applications using wavelet analysis of Lamb wave has been veir-fied experimentally. These results show as follows; 1)dispersion characteristic of each mode in dispersion curve is demon-strated that A0 mode propagating material surface is useful mode having the lest energy loss and not sensitive to surface condition. 2) it can be detected even the micro defect ($1\times2mm$) fabricated in ultrasonic probe flaw distance (290mm) to axis direction. 3) the wavelet transform which is called "time-frequency analysis" shows the Lamb wave propagation due to the change of materials characterization can be evaluated at each frequency and experimental group velocity of Lamb wave agrees quite well with that of simulated dispersion curve.ion curve.

Prestack depth migration is used to image for complex geological structure such as faults, folds, and subsalt. In this case, it is widely used the surface reflection data as a input data. However, the surface reflection data have intrinsic problems to image the subsalt and the salt flank due to the complex wavefields and multiples which come from overburden. For overcoming the structural defect of the surface reflection data in the imaging, I used the virtual sources in terms of seismic interferometry to image the subsurface and suppress the multiples using the velocity model of the lower part of the virtual sources. The results of the prestack depth migration using virtual source gathers and velocity model below receivers are similar geological interfaces to the results from shot gathers of the conventional ocean bottom seismic survey. And especially artificial interfaces by multiples were suppressed without applying any other data processing to eliminate multiples. This study results by numerical modeling can make a valuable imaging tool when it is applied to satisfied field data for specific condition.
