In this paper, a good quality mesh generation for the finite element method is investigated for artificial hip joint simulations. In general, bad meshes with a large aspect ratio or mixed elements can give rise to excessively long computational running times and extremely high errors. Typically, hexahedral elements outperform tetrahedral elements during three-dimensional contact analysis using the finite element method. Therefore, it is essential to mesh biologic structures with hexahedral elements. Four meshing schemes for the finite element analysis of an artificial hip joint are presented and compared: (1) tetrahedral elements, (2) wedge and hexahedral elements, (3) open cubic box hexahedral elements, and (4) proposed hexahedral elements. The proposed meshing scheme is to partition a part before seeding so that we have a high quality three-dimensional mesh which consists of only hexahedral elements. The von Mises stress distributions were obtained and analyzed. We also performed mesh refinement convergence tests for all four cases.

This study presents a hybrid algorithm for classifying the rock joints, where the improved artificial bee colony (IABC) and the fuzzy C-means (FCM) clustering algorithms are incorporated to take advantage of the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm by tuning the FCM clustering algorithm to obtain the more reasonable and stable result. A coefficient is proposed to reduce the amount of blind random searches and speed up convergence, thus achieving the goals of optimizing and improving the ABC algorithm. The results from the IABC algorithm are used as initial parameters in FCM to avoid falling to the local optimum in the local search, thus obtaining stable classifying results. Two validity indices are adopted to verify the rationality and practicability of the IABC-FCM algorithm in classifying the rock joints, and the optimal amount of joint sets is obtained based on the two validity indices. Two illustrative examples, i.e., the simulated rock joints data and the field-survey rock joints data, are used in the verification to check the feasibility and practicability in rock engineering for the proposed algorithm. The results show that the IABC-FCM algorithm could be applicable in classifying the rock joint sets.

터널 굴착시 지반진동을 감소시키기 위해 굴착면에 부분적인 자유면을 형성하고 제어발파를 수행하는 자유면 발파공법이 적용되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 다이어몬드 와이어 쏘를 이용하여 인공절리를 심발부에 형성하고, 심발부 발파 시 발생되는 지반진동을 비교함으로써 인공절리에 의한 지반진동 감소를 평가하였다. 해석 결과, 일반 심발발파보다 인공절리 심발발파에서 지반진동이 감소하였으며, 수직 인공절리 심발발파보다 수평 인공절리 심발발파에서의 지반진동 감소 효과가 더 크게 평가되었다.

Trajectory tracking control porblems are described for a two-link robot manipulator with artificial rubber muscle actuators. Under the assumption that the so-called independent joint control is applied to the control system, the dynamic model for each link is identified as a linear second-order system with time-lag by the step response. Two control laws such as the feedforward and the computed torque control methods, are experimentally applied for controlling the circular trajectory of an actual robot mainpulator.

기존의 보행분석 연구들은 하지를 하나의 스프링으로 간주하였다. 만약 슬관절 신전을 보조할 수 있는 슬관절 액추에이팅 메커니즘을 개발할 수 있다면 보행에 필요한 탄성-변형률에너지를 혁신적으로 저장-방출할 수 있고, 그 결과 보행 중 하지강성은 더욱 증가할 것이다. 게다가 족관절 액추에이팅 메커니즘까지 추가되어 있다면 슬관절 액추에이터에 의한 과도한 인공하지강성을 능동적이고 적절한 수준으로 보상해주는 기전으로 작동할 것이다. 만약 가속도에 의한 보행속도 증가를 방지하기 위해 인위적 감속통제를 작동시킨다면 불필요한 운동에너지의 방출이 발생되고 하지강성 액추에이터의 실효성은 의심을 받게 된다. 따라서 본 저자는 보행속도를 2개의 세그먼트에 의한 상대 각속도 조절기법을 이용하여 하지강성을 증가시킨다는 기본개념으로 슬-족관절 액추에이터 시스템을 개발하였다. 또한 족관절에 슬관절 액추에이팅에 대한 보상기전이 존재하는 경우, 족관절의 보상기전이 중족지절관절 경사각 및 보행속도 변화에 미치는 상호영향을 연구하였다.

Capsuloligamentous injury at the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint is a common traumatic injury during physical activity, particularly on artificial turf. Mechanism of injury include excessive flexion, extension, or valgus stress. We report a non-operatively treated capsuloligamentous injury at the first MTP joint, which did not occur traumatically but developed by a stress-related mechanism in a collegiate rower.

According to development of medical science and engineering, people has made efforts to solve tile discomfort of body accident as well as the life span. Many cases that reduce pain of a hip joint or limitation of motion using Revision Total Hip Replacement are getting increased. However it has not proved which material is the most appropriate. Scientists are still studying about materials of the artificial joint. In accordance with advance of science, the materials are Betting better. Recently, when Revision Total Hip Replacement is performed, typical materials are Ti-alloys Ceramics. We have studied materials of artificial joints and analyzed which one is better for human's body.

본 논문에서는 신축량이 크고 내구성이 우수한 모듈러 신축이음장치의 내진성능을 평가하기 위해 지진응답 거동해석과 지진거동모사실험을 수행하였다. 지진응답 거동해석은 한국(KS), 미국(AASHTO LRFD), 그리고 유럽(Eurocode)의 설계기준 응답스팩트럼을 적용하여 인공지진파를 생성하였다. 해석대상 교량은 경간 1,000m 사장교를 대상으로 각 기준에 대해 세가지의 인공지진파를 생성하였으며, 지진거동모사실험은 축방향과 횡방향의 동적 유압가력기를 사용하여 인공지진파를 재현하였다. 실험결과 축방향, 횡방향 및 양방향에 인공지진파를 재하하였을 때 신축이음의 거동 이상이나 파괴는 발생하지 않았으며, 신축이음장치의 지진거동에 대한 내구성 및 안전성을 확인하였다.

In orthopedics, hip arthroplasty is the operation that replaces damaged hip joint to artificial joint. In hip arthroplasty, quite better result can be achieved if robot is applied to machine cavity in bone, especially when cementless stem is used. So several kinds of robots were introduced for hip arthroplasty, but they used MRI, CT Scan, vision analysis and real time tracking of bone position for registration of robot. To overcome shortage of conventional robot surgery, gauge based registration method was proposed and small robot was designed. In this method, small robot is mounted on femur, and its position is determined by gauge registration method. Operation procedure was performed on model femur and result was analyzed. This robotic hip surgery system is expected to more adaptable in operation room.
