Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) of orthodontic brackets bonded to three-dimensionally (3D)-printed materials after various surface treatments and artificial aging compared with that bonded to computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)-milled materials. Methods: Eighty cylindrical specimens were 3D printed and divided into the following four subgroups (n = 20 each) according to the surface treatment and artificial aging procedure. Group A, sandblasted with 50 ㎛ aluminum oxide particles (SA) and aging; group B, sandblasted with 30 ㎛ silica-coated alumina particles (CO) and aging; group C, SA without aging; and group D, CO without aging. For the control group, 20 CAD-CAM PMMA-milled cylindrical specimens were sandblasted with SA and aged. The SBS was measured using a universal testing machine (0.25 mm/min), examined at ×2.5 magnification for failure mode classification, and statistically analyzed (p = 0.05). Results: The retention obtained with the 3D-printed materials (groups A-D) was higher than that obtained with the PMMA-milled materials (control group). However, no significant difference was found between the study and control groups, except for group C (SA without aging), which showed significantly higher retention than the control group (PMMA-SA and thermocycling) (p = 0.037). Study groups A-D predominantly exhibited a cohesive specimen mode, indicating specimen fracture. Conclusions: Orthodontic brackets bonded to 3D-printed materials exhibit acceptable bonding strengths. However, 3D-printed materials are prone to cohesive failure, which may result in crown fractures.

Objectives: This study aimed to understand the definitions, types, and principles of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) and scanners due to the introduction of digital workflows. Methods: This study was based on information from the government's law and articles published in academic journals. Results: CAD/CAM is a technology that measures the shape three-dimensionally, saves it as data, designs it into the desired shape, and processes the product. Scanners, which are classified as intraoral and extraoral scanners, measure teeth and the intraoral environment three-dimensionally and convert them into three-dimensional (3D). A 3D printer is a machine that creates a 3D object by layering materials based on a 3D drawing. It can be classified into four types according to the method: extrusion, powder bonding, lamination, and photopolymerization methods. The most used 3D printer methods in dentistry are stereolithograhpy and digital light processing, and they are widely used in prosthetic, surgical, and orthodontic fields. Conclusions: As the dental system is digitized, it is expected that the government will classify the dental hygienist scope of work and the universities will reflect the curriculum; it is necessary to develop excellent dental hygienists, diversify the educational pathways, and establish policies to meet the needs of the increasing number of patients.

구조물 설계에 복합재료-금속 접착제 결합 조인트의 개발 및 사용을 제한하는 가장 큰 요인은 접착 조인트의 하중지지 능력 예측을 위한 접착 계면의 강도 평가 방법의 부재이다. 본 연구에서는 복합재료-탄소강의 접착 강도를 계면 모서리에서의 응력강도계수와 파괴 인성 값으로 평가하였다. 구체적으로 동시 경화 성형법으로 제작된 복합재료-탄소강 양면 겹치기 접착조인트의 하중지지 능력을 파괴 역학적 분석 방법을 통하여 결정하였다. 이종재료 계면 모서리 첨단의 응력 특이성과 그 지수를 제시하고 최종적으로 응력강도계수와 실험을 통한 계면의 파괴인성 값을 획득하였다. 서로 다른 접합 길이를 갖는 조인트의 하중지지 능력 비교를 통하여 양면 겹치기 접착 조인트의 파괴 인성치와 혼합 모드에서의 균열 진전 기준을 $K_1-K_{11}$ 평면 내에 도시하였다.

Currently, biofibers are used as a reinforcement in polymer composites for structural elements and construction materials instead of the synthetic fibers which cause environmental problems and are expensive. One of the chemicals with a pH close to neutral that can be potentially used as a modified fiber material is sodium chloride (NaCl). Therefore, this study aims to investigate the characteristics of a composite board made from NaCl-treated kenaf fiber. A completely randomized design method was used with consideration of two factors: the content of NaCl in the treatment solution (1 wt%, 3 wt%, and 5 wt%) and the duration of immersion of fibers in the solution (1 h, 2 h, and 3 h). The NaCl treatment was conducted by soaking the fibers in the solution for different durations. The fibers were then rinsed with water until the pH of the water reached 7 and subsequently dried inside an oven at 80℃ for 6 h. Kenaf fiber and epoxy were mixed manually with the total loading of 20 wt% based on the dry weight of the fiber. Physical and mechanical properties of the fibers were then evaluated based on JIS A 5908 particleboard standards. The results showed that increasing NaCl content in the fiber treatment solution can increase the physical and mechanical properties of the composite board. The properties of fibers treated with 5 wt% NaCl for 3 h were superior with a modulus of elasticity of 2.085 GPa, modulus of rupture of 19.77 MPa, internal bonding of 1.8 MPa, thickness swelling of 3%, and water absorption of 10.9%. The contact angle of untreated kenaf fibers was 104°, which increased to 80° and 73° on treatment with 1 wt% and 5 wt% NaCl for 3 h, respectively.

Older brick masonry structures generally suffer from low strength defects. Using a cement mortar layer (CML) or steel-meshed cement mortar layer (S-CML) to reinforce existing low-strength brick masonry structures (LBMs) is still an effective means of increasing seismic performance. However, performance indices such as lateral displacement ratios and skeleton curves for LBMs reinforced with CML or S-CML need to be clarified in performance-based seismic design and evaluation. Therefore, research into the failure mechanisms and seismic performance of LBMs reinforced with CML or S-CML is imperative. In this study, thirty low-strength brick walls (LBWs) with different cross-sectional areas, bonding mortar types, vertical loads, and CML/S-CML thicknesses were constructed. The failure modes, load-carrying capacities, energy dissipation capacity and lateral drift ratio limits in different limits states were acquired via quasi-static tests. The results show that 1) the primary failure modes of UBWs and RBWs are "diagonal shear failure" and "sliding failure through joints." 2) The acceptable drift ratios of Immediate Occupancy (IO), Life Safety (LS), and Collapse Prevention (CP) for UBWs can be 0.04%, 0.08%, and 0.3%, respectively. For 20-RBWs, the acceptable drift ratios of IO, LS, and CP for 20-RBWs can be 0.037%, 0.09%, and 0.41%, respectively. Moreover, the acceptable drift ratios of IO, LS, and CP for 40-RBWs can be 0.048%, 0.09%, and 0.53%, respectively. 3) Reinforcing low-strength brick walls with CML/S-CML can improve brick walls' bearing capacity, deformation, and energy dissipation capacity. Using CML/S-CML reinforcement to improve the seismic performance of old masonry houses is a feasible and practical choice.

During the design phase, it is crucial to determine the interface stresses between the reinforcing plate and the concrete base in order to predict plate end separation failures. In this work, a simple theoretical study of interface shear stresses in beams reinforced with P-FGM and E-FGM plates subjected to an arbitrarily positioned point load, or two symmetrical point loads, was presented using the linear elastic theory. The presence of pores in the reinforcing plate distributed in several forms was also taken into account. For this purpose, we analyze the effects of porosity and its distribution shape on the interracial normal and shear stresses of an FGM beam reinforced with an FRP plate under different types of load. Comparisons of the proposed model with existing analytical solutions in the literature confirm the feasibility and accuracy of this new approach. The influence of different parameters on the interfacial behavior of reinforced concrete beams reinforced with functionally graded porous plates is further examined in this parametric study using the proposed model. From the results obtained in this study, we can say that interface stress is significantly affected by several factors, including the pores present in the reinforcing plate and their distribution shape. Additionally, we can conclude from this study that reinforcement systems with composite plates are very effective in improving the flexural response of reinforced RC beams.

Bonding carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates have been extensively employed in the restoration of steel constructions. In addition to the mechanical properties of the CFRP, the bond strength (P_U) between the CFRP and steel is often important in the eventual strengthened performance. Nonetheless, the bond behavior of the CFRP-steel (CS) interface is exceedingly complicated, with multiple failure causes, giving the P_U challenging to forecast, and the CFRP-enhanced steel structure is unsteady. In just this case, appropriate methods were established by hybridized Random Forests (RF) and support vector regression (SVR) approaches on assembled CS single-shear experiment data to foresee the P_U of CS, in which a recently established optimization algorithm named Aquila optimizer (AO) was used to tune the RF and SVR hyperparameters. In summary, the practical novelty of the article lies in its development of a reliable and efficient method for predicting bond strength at the CS interface, which has significant implications for structural rehabilitation, design optimization, risk mitigation, cost savings, and decision support in engineering practice. Moreover, the Fourier Amplitude Sensitivity Test was performed to depict each parameter's impact on the target. The order of parameter importance was t_c> L_c > E_A > t_A > E_c > b_c > f_c > f_A from largest to smallest by 0.9345 > 0.8562 > 0.79354 > 0.7289 > 0.6531 > 0.5718 > 0.4307 > 0.3657. In three training, testing, and all data phases, the superiority of AO - RF with respect to AO - SVR and MARS was obvious. In the training stage, the values of R² and VAF were slightly similar with a tiny superiority of AO - RF compared to AO - SVR with R² equal to 0.9977 and VAF equal to 99.772, but large differences with results of MARS.

목적: 4종의 임플란트 나사산이 골유착 중간과정과 완료 이후 단계에서 보이는 응력분산 특성을 평가하고자 한다. 재료 및 방법: 실린더형 몸체(외경 4.1 mm 길이 10 mm)에 이전연구에서 식립 특성이 우수하게 평가되었던 V-자형 나사산과 다른 3종(buttress형, reverse buttress형, square형)의 나사산을 가진 4종의 임플란트가 악골에 매식된 복합체 모델을 CAD 프로그램으로 제작하였다. 지대주 상부에 100 N의 힘을 임플란트 장축과 30도 방향으로 부하하고 인접골 응력분포를 유한요소 해석하였다. 응력분산 특성이 골유착 진척 상태에 따라 달라질 수 있다는 가정하에 임플란트/골 계면을 골유착 미숙단계와 골유착 완료단계의 두 가지로 구분하여 분석하였다. 골유착 미숙단계는 임플란트/골 계면을 비선형 contact 조건(마찰계수 0.3)으로 모사하였고, 골유착이 완료된 단계에 대해서는 계면이 충분히 결합된 것으로 간주하여 접합(bonding) 조건을 부여하였다. 결과: 골유착 정도에 따라 임플란트의 응력분산 특성이 달라졌다. 골유착 미숙단계에서는 골응력과 나사산에 따른 응력 특성의 차이도 상대적으로 컸고 골유착 완료단계에서는 골응력의 절대값과 나사산간 차이가 모두 감소하였으며, V-자형 나사산의 응력분산 특성은 골유착 미숙 및 완료단계에서 모두 4종 나사산의 중간 정도였다. 이로부터 나사산 디자인의 차이는 임플란트 식립후 골유착이 진행되는 과정까지 영향을 미치며, 일단 골유착이 완료되면 나사산의 영향은 급격히 감소할 것임을 추론할 수 있었다. 결론: V-자형 나사산의 응력분산 특성은 골유착이 이루어지는 단계와 완료된 이후 단계 전기간 동안 4종 나사산의 중간 정도였다.

유연전자소자가 외부힘에 의해 변형될 경우 반도체 다이가 기계적 응력 때문에 변형되거나 파괴되고 이러한 변형이나 파괴는 channel의 전자이동도를 변화시키거나 배선의 저항을 증가시켜 집적회로의 동작 오류를 발생시킨다. 따라서 반도체 집적회로는 굽힘 변형이 발생해도 기계적 응력이 발생하지 않는 중립축에 위치하는 것이 바람직하다. 본 연구에서는 굽힘변형을 하는 flip-chip 접합공정이 적용된 face-down flexible packaging system에서 중립축의 위치와 파괴 모드를 조사하였고 반도체 집적회로와 집중응력이 발생한 곳의 응력을 감소시킬 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다. 이를 위해, 설계인자로 유연기판의 두께 및 소재, 반도체 다이의 두께를 고려하였고 설계인자가 중립축의 위치에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과 유연기판의 두께가 중립축의 위치를 조절하는데 유용한 설계인자임을 알 수 있었다. 3차원 모델을 이용한 유한요소해석 결과 반도체 다이와 유연기판 사이의 Cu bump 접합부에서 항복응력보다 높은 응력이 인가될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 마지막으로 flexible face-down packaging system에서 반도체 다이와 Cu bump 의 응력을 감소시킬 수 있는 설계 방법을 제안하였다.

인쇄기판형 열교환기는 금속박판에 유체의 유로를 형성하여 고온고압 환경에서 금속분자의 확산을 이용하여 접합하는 방식으로 제작하므로 고온고압 유체의 열교환에 유리한 장점을 가지고 있다. 또한 금속박판에 유로를 미세하게 식각하여 형성시킬 수 있으므로 단위체적당 전열면적을 크게 할 수 있어 열교환 집적도가 향상되어 고효율의 열전달 효과를 낼 수 있다. 집적도를 향상시키기 위해서는 금속부분을 줄일수록 유리하나 미세채널 내에 고압 유체가 흐르게 되면 압력에 의한 변형이 발생할 수 있으므로 채널간 금속박판의 변형이 일어나지 않도록 채널 형상 및 구조를 설계하여야 한다. 또한 미세채널이 모여서 배관으로 연결되는 헤더 부분의 내압설계도 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 기존 내압규격을 이용하여 운전 조건에 따라 인쇄기판형 열교환기를 설계할 수 있는 방법론을 제시하고 유동조건에 따른 전산해석을 통하여 설계 결과를 검증해 보고자 한다.
