In this study, free vibration analyses of symmetric laminated cantilever and simply supported damaged composite beams are investigated by using finite element method (FEM). Free vibration responses of damaged beams are examined using Euler Bernoulli beam and classical lamination theories. A computer code is developed by using MATLAB software to determine the natural frequencies of a damaged beam. The local damage zone is assumed to be on the surface lamina of the beam by broken fibers after impact. The damaged zone is modeled as a unidirectional discontinuous lamina with $0^{\circ}$ orientations in this study. Fiber volume fraction ($v_f$), fiber aspect ratio ($L_f/d_f$), damage length ($L_D$) and its location (${\lambda}/L$), fiber orientation and stacking sequence parameters effects on natural frequencies are investigated. These parameters are affected the natural frequency values significantly.

The accident of the midair collision, passengers' falling or goods' dropping occurs or supersonic aircraft make a sonic boom during their conveying passengers or goods to the destination. The accident in transmit damages the their parties on the surface or their properties. In these cases, the third parties who were harmed to their lives or properties have the right to claim damages against the air carrier who caused them. These matters have become one of the important things since aircraft conveyed passengers and goods. Therefore, it is a great concern to settle these matters by law. But the Safety of the present aircraft has been much increased and the aircraft have become larger in size. Its flight altitude became higher than before. So the relationship of the aircraft to the third parties is much different from that of the earlier aircraft. The air transport is now indispensable to our life. It is not so easy to control these matters. In the early part of 20th century, when the third parties suffered the damage, many European countries made laws on the basis of the principle of liability without fault. But each country had a variety of its own law, and different kinds of difficulties have been brought about. Accordingly, the Rome Convention on Surface Damage (1933, 1952, 1978) has been made and revised. In spite of being revised, it contains many problems, and is not carried into effect world-wide. On the other hand, there are no regulations about the compensation of the third parties damaged in Korean existing laws. In case the damage is brought about to them, it is obviously true that the settlement of the liability of compensation for damage should be made by the general principle on the tort in domestic laws. At this point, it is urgent that we make a special law though the domestic legislation as a preliminary measure before we sign the international convention to save third damaged. It is desirable that we should, for the responsibility of the air carriage for the demage of the third parties on the surface, bring in the theory of the absolute liability in view of the legislation of many conutries. As the aircraft fly in the sky, their flight always contains some danger. It is very difficult to prove the fault, and the operator should suffer the principle of liability without fault or the similiar one. In case the liability without fault will be imposed upon the operator for the damage of the third parties, it is necessary to bring in the liability protection system for the protection and up upbringing of the air carriage. The Burden of danger of the air carriage will be reduced by introducing the system. A domestic legislation measure should be necessarily taken as soon as possible as a legal security measure on these matters.

The Remote Control Munition System is a anti-personnel munitions system to replace land mines that are hard to retrieve and can inflict damage on friendly forces and civilians. As operating environments and methods change, quality improvement is necessary to ensure appropriate durability. Therefore, corrosion resistance evaluation was performed according to the surface treatment of ALDC12, the main assembly material. We conduct the potentiodynamic polarization, cyclic corrosion test to perform analysis on corrosion behavior. Additionally, we try to observe the pitting on the surface through SEM analysis. In conclusion, among the three surface treatments, Anodizing surface treatment is judged to be the most suitable for corrosion durability in a field environment.

Gantry mechanisms have been widely used for precision manufacturing and material handling in electronics, nuclear, and automotive industries. Dual-drive servo mechanism is a way to increase control bandwidth, in which two primary axes aligned in parallel are synchronously driven by identical servo motors. With this mechanism, a flexible coupling (compliance mechanism) is often introduced in order to avoid the damage by the servo mismatch between the primary drives located at each side of gantry. This paper describes the design guidelines of the dual-drive servo mechanism with focus on its dynamic characteristics and control ramifications. That is, the effect on the system bandwidth which is critical on the system performance, the errors and torques exerted on guide ways in case of servo mismatch, the vibration characteristics concerned with dynamic error and settling time, and the driving force required at each axis for control are thoroughly investigated.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to investigate the shear bond strength of luting cements used with implant retained restorations on to titanium specimens after different surface treatments. MATERIALS AND METHODS. One hundred twenty disc shaped specimens were used. They were divided into three groups considering the surface treatments (no treatment, sandblasting, and oxygen plasma treatment). Water contact angle of specimens were determined. The specimens were further divided into four subgroups (n=10) according to applied cement types: polycarboxylate cement (Adhesor Carbofine-AC), temporary zinc oxide free cement (Temporary CementZOC), non eugenol provisional cement for implant retained prosthesis (Premier Implant Cement-PI), and non eugenol acrylic-urethane polymer based provisional cement for implant luting (Cem Implant Cement-CI). Shear bond strength values were evaluated. Two-way ANOVA test and Regression analysis were used to statistical analyze the results. RESULTS. Overall shear bond strength values of luting cements defined in sandblasting groups were considerably higher than other surfaces (P<.05). The cements can be ranked as AC > CI > PI > ZOC according to shear bond strength values for all surface treatment groups (P<.05). Water contact angles of surface treatments (control, sandblasting, and plasma treatment group) were 76.17° ± 3.99, 110.45° ± 1.41, and 73.80° ± 4.79, respectively. Regression analysis revealed that correlation between the contact angle of different surfaces and shear bond strength was not strong (P>.05). CONCLUSION. The retentive strength findings of all luting cements were higher in sandblasting and oxygen plasma groups than in control groups. Oxygen plasma treatment can improve the adhesion ability of titanium surfaces without any mechanical damage to titanium structure.

It has been known that variable structure control(VSC) has theoretically powerful control technique of providing fast response, no overshoot, and very robust control with respect to system parameter variations and disturbances. However, the technique has not become more widely extended in the industrial circles because chattering phenomenon which may excite high-frequency unmodelled plant dynamics and damage to system components exists. In this paper, a modified variable structure control(MVSC) is developed to alleviate these problems which are applied to the position control of induction motor. While the conventional VSC makes the structure of the system change with high-frequency switching on the center of the one switching surface, in the MVSC two switching surface are used to establish a sliding sector. The structure of the system will be changed with low-frequency switching. Therefore, the proposed algorithm has the properties of reducing chattering, retaining the benefits achieved in the conventional VSC, and working even under the influences of parameter variations. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the control strategy proposed here for the position control of induction motor.

Composites composed of a precipitation harden 2124 alloy matrix reinforced by SiC whiskers, which are fabricated by powder metallugy, are suscepttible to fatigue damage due to the pile-up of moving dislocation and the microcrack initiation along SiC-Al interfaces, especially at the external surfaces of a body. The initial process, such as pile-up of dislocation or microcrack, that corresponds to the stage I during fatigue failure process are too small to be detected and characterized by conventional ultrasonic technique. This paper describes the applicability of an acoustic microscope with Line-Focus-Beam(LFB) lens of 225MHz to evaluate fatigue damage of SiC whiskers reinforced Al alloy. The specimens which were 6.6mm thick, 13mm wide, and 105mm long in the gage section were fatigued in tension-tension under load control. The velocity of leaky surface and leaky pseudosurface acoustic waves are obtained by FFT analysis technique from V(z) curve which is a record of output of piezoelectric transducer. These results are discussed with the change of number of fatigue cycles. The result obtained by acoustic microscope is compared with that by ultrasonic technique generated at 5MHz with conventional surface wave transducers.

The subway is one of the most common and important means of transportation in modern society. In order to use the subway safely, tracks are necessary, but trains are prone to derailment and collisions. In order for the train to run safely on the track, the fishplate that connects the line connection is used. The damaged railway was a fishplate for connecting subway lines used for 11 years, and damage analysis and countermeasures were presented. Beach marks were observed on both fracture surfaces, and striations appeared at the range of crack propagation. The damaged part is Cr carbide, which has a higher hardness than the base metal, and is judged to be embrittled and destroyed by fatigue. The SM50C fishplate was subjected to a cyclic stress of about 59% of the upper limit of tensile-compression fatigue limit, but inclusions were the cause of failure. In order to prevent fatigue failure of the SM50C steel fishplate, the occurrence of inclusions should be minimized and processed to have a homogeneous structure when manufacturing the fishplate. In addition, compressive residual stress is given through surface modification such as peening to control crack generation. It is necessary to minimize the change in shape that can become a stress concentration part along with accurate fastening of the bolt, and to design the stress distribution to be as uniform as possible.

In modern automotive control modules, mechanical failures of surface mounted electronic components such as microprocessors, crystals, capacitors, transformers, inductors, and ball grid array packages, etc., are mai or roadblocks to design cycle time and product reliability. This paper presents a general methodology of failure analysis and fatigue prediction of these electronic components under automotive vibration environments. Mechanical performance of these packages is studied through finite element modeling approach fur given vibration environments in automotive application. Using the results of vibration simulation, fatigue lift is predicted based on cumulative damage analysis and material durability information. Detailed model of solder/lead joints is built to correlate the system level model and obtain solder strains/stresses. The primary focus in this paper is on surface-mount interconnect fatigue failures and the critical component selected for this analysis is 80 pin plastic leaded microprocessor.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to assess the characteristics of tooth surface after using Gracy curet and Ultrasonic scaler Methods: In this study, 12 teeth extracted were used. 12 specimens were divided into three groups with the same numbers, which were classified into Control group, Gracy curet use group, and Ultrasonic scaler use group, and after performing instrument operation, we measured the roughness and the loss degree of tooth surface by using SEM. Results: In groups using Gracy curet and Ultrasonic scaler, the roughness and the loss of tooth surface increased significantly(p<0.05). In the roughness of groups using Gracy curet and Ultrasonic scaler, Ultrasonic scaler group was higher in crown, but Gracy curet group was higher in root. As a result of observation through SEM, the roughness and the loss degree increased in order of Control group, Ultrasonic scaler use group, and Gracy curet use group. Conclusions: Taken together above results, both hand instrument and ultrasound equipment create roughness and loss in crown and in root, and hand instruments makes rougher than ultrasonic instruments in root, so it is thought to require thorough and accurate technical application not to damage tooth surface when removing plaque.
