  • 수두증 환자의 뇌압을 조절하기 위해 사용되는 션트밸브의 압력-유량제어 특성과 설계변수 변화에 따른 특성곡선의 변화를 수치적으로 해석 하였다. 해석에 사용된 션트밸브는 국내에서 설계 제작된 일정 압력형 다이아프램 타입이며 실험을 통하여 해석의 타당성을 검증하였다. 션트밸브 내부에 장착된 압력-유량 제어용 소형 다이아프램이 실리콘 일래스토머 계통의 유연한 재질이므로 유동구조 상호해석을 수행하였다 구조해석시의 재료 비선형성을 고려하여 고탄성 재료에 대한 므니 리블린(Mooney-Rivlin) 근사를 적용하였다. 수치해석결과 얻어진 압력-유량제어 특성곡선은 실험결과와 유사하였고 션트밸브를 통한 압력강하의 대부분은 소형 다이아프램에서 이루어짐을 확인할 수 있었다 본 연구에서 해석된 션트밸브의 압력-유량 특성곡선의 기울기는 7.37mm$H_2O$.hr/cc로서 상용 션트밸브의 기울기 평균값 0.40mm$H_2O$.hr/cc과 비슷하여 일정압력형 션트밸브의 특성을 잘 나타내었다. 오프닝압력의 크기는 밸브 다이아프램의 초기쳐짐량 크기에 의존하였고. 25mm$H_2O$와 80mm$H_2O$의 오프닝압력을 얻기 위해서는 10.2$\mu$m와 35.3$\mu$m의 초기쳐짐량이 필요하였다. 밸브가 열리면서 유동이 발생할 경우, 유동 오리피스 간극이 107m 이내이므로 션트밸브의 성공적인 동작을 위해서는 정밀설계와 제작기술이 요구된다. 본 연구를 통해 다이아프램의 초기쳐짐량과 유동 오리피스를 형성하는 다이아프램 끝단의 라운딩 크기가 압력-유량 특성곡선의 기울기에 영향을 미치는 주요 설계변수임을 확인하였다.

  • This study aims to introduce a new bracing system by which even super-wide frames with large openings can be braced. The proposed system, hereafter called Cable-Pulley Brace (CPB), is a tension-only bracing system with a rectilinear configuration. In CPB, a wire rope passes through a rectilinear path around the opening(s) and connects the lower corner of the frame to its opposite upper one. CPB is a secondary load resisting system with a nonlinear-elastic hysteretic behavior due to its initial pre-tension load. As a result, the required energy dissipation would be provided by the MRF itself, and the main intention of using CPB is to contribute to the initial and post-yield stiffness of the whole system. Using a stiffness calibration technique, optimum placement of the CPBs is discussed to yield a uniform displacement demand along the height of the structure. A displacement-based design procedure is proposed by which the MRF with CPB can be designed to achieve a uniform distribution of inter-story drifts with predefined values. Obtained results indicated that CPB leads to significant reductions in maximum and residual deformations of the MRF at the expense of minor increase in the maximum base shear and developed axial force demands in the columns. In the case of a typical 5-story residential building, compared to SMRF system, CPB system reduces maximum amounts of inter-story and residual drifts by 35% and 70%, respectively. Moreover, openings of the frame are not interrupted by the CPB. This is the most appealing feature of the proposed bracing system from architectural point of view.

  • This study strives to seek the background in Ho-Seo Bank(HQ)'s foundation and its urban meaning. First, the thesis intends to understand the autonomous characteristics of Ho-Seo Bank which had been supported by Korean capitalists(landowners and merchants), keeping their pure capitals acquired by regular traditional marketplaces and farming works around Yesan. Second, through quantification data, it deals with reasons that the Ho-Seo Bank have been situated on a triangular corner that meets three roads toward a main thoroughfare toward Gongju to Hongseong, a railroad station, and a downtown area(Honmachi(本町通)) each. Third, it discusses the subsequent changes of Yesan's urban landscape that resulted from the Ho-Seo Bank's foundation(1913). In other words, thanks to a newly founded Ho-Seo Bank's headquarter(1922) and partly opening of a railway(Gyeongnam, 1922), Yesan became more advanced constructing both a political venue for a military police, a county office, et cetera, and then an educational place for schools. In conclusion, such urban phenomena shows there would be a dual combination between Korean people(aboriginal landowners and intellectuals) in autonomous efforts and Japanese officials in heteronomous controls. This thesis further contends that Ho-Seo Bank architecture itself reflects their status in the locality, who envisioned a 'cultural equality,' competing with Japanese aggressors, and its firm and massive form shows a new building type of bank architecture, literally representing the safeness and firmness, so differentiated from other buildings with the 'Secession' style in colonial areas under the control of the world powers.

  • Background: This study aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory efficacy of preemptive intravenous ibuprofen on inflammatory complications such as edema and trismus in patients undergoing impacted mandibular third molar surgery. Methods: Sixty patients were included and divided into three groups (800 mg IV ibuprofen + 50 mg dexketoprofen, 800 mg IV ibuprofen, and control). In all patients, preoperative hemodynamic values were recorded before the infusions. The operation was started at 15-min post-infusion. Evaluation of edema size on the face and mouth opening (trismus) was conducted in the preoperative period, and at postoperative 48 h and 1 week. Results: No difference was determined among the groups in trismus and edema size in postoperative measurements (P > 0.05). There was a difference between group 2 and group 3 only in measurement value of tragus-corner of the mouth on the postoperative day 2 (P < 0.05). A difference was found between the measurement values of trismus preoperatively and at preoperative day 2, and between postoperative day 2 and 1 week in group 3 based on time (P < 0.05). In group 3, edema on the face on postoperative day 2 increased significantly compared to that in the preoperative period (P < 0.001); in addition, edema increased significantly in groups 1 and 2 in the postoperative period but was less than that in group 3 (P < 0.001). Conclusions: In this study, intravenous ibuprofen was determined to be more effective alone or in combination in alleviating trismus and to better limit the postoperative edema.

  • Statement of problem: Repeated delivery and removal of abutment cause some changes such as wear, scratch or defect of hexagonal structure. It may increase the value of rotational freedom(RF) between hexagonal structures. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate surface changes and rotational freedom between the external hexagon of the implant fixture and internal hexagon of abutment after repeated delivery and removal under SEM and toolmaker's microscope. Materials and methods: Implant systems used for this study were 3i and Avana. Seven pail's of implant fixture, abutment and abutment screws for each system were selected and all fixtures were perpendicularly mounted in liquid unsaturated polyesther with dental surveyor. Each one was embedded beneath the platform of fixture. Surfaces of hexagonal structure before repeated closing and opening of abutment were observed using SEM and rotational freedom was measured by using toolmaker's microscope. Each abutment was secured to the implant future by each abutment screw with recommended torque value using a digital torque controller and was repeatedly delivered and removed by 20 times respectively. After experiment, evaluation for the change of hexagonal structures and measurement of rotational freedom were performed. Result : The results were as follows; 1. Wear of contact area between implant fixture and abutment was considerable in both 3i and Avana system. Scratches and defects were frequently observed at the line-angle of hexagonal structures of implant fixture and abutment. 2. In the SEM view of the external hexagon of implant fixture, the point-angle areas at the corner edge of hexagon were severely worn out in both systems. It was more notable in the case of 3i systems than in that of Avana systems. 3. In the SEM view of the internal hexagon of abutment, Gingi-Hue abutment of 3i systems showed severe wear in micro-stop contacts that were machined into the corners to prevent rotation and cemented abutment of Avana systems showed wear in both surface area adjacent to the corner mating with external hexagon of implant fixture. 4 The mean values of rotational freedom between the external hexagon of the implant fixture and internal hexagon of abutment were 0.48$\pm$0.04$^{\circ}$ in pre-tested 3i systems and 1.18$\pm$0.25$^{\circ}$ after test, and 1.80$\pm$0.04$^{\circ}$ in pre-tested Avana systems and 2.61$\pm$0.16$^{\circ}$ after test. 5. Changes of rotational freedom after test shouted statistical)y a significant increase in both 3i and Avana systems(P<0.05, paired t-test). 6. Statistically, there was no significant difference between amount of increase in the rotational freedom of 3i systems and amount of increase in that of Avana ones(P>0.05, unpaired t-test). Conclusion: Conclusively, it was considered that repeated delivery and remove of abutment by 20 times would not have influence on screw joint stability. However, it caused statistically the significant change of rotational freedom in tested systems. Therefore, it is suggested that repeated delivery and remove of abutment should be minimal as possible as it could be and be done carefully Additionally, it is suggested that the means or treatment to prevent the wear of mating components should be devised.

  • 본 연구는 빌트인 양문형 냉장고의 도어를 최대개방각도로 열었을 때 발생하는 댐핑힌지의 응력해석과 피로수명 해석을 다룬다. 댐핑힌지의 초기설계안에 대하여 유한요소해석을 수행한 결과, 브래킷핀에서 상부원판과 원통이 직각을 이루는 기하학적 불연속 부위에서 국부적 응력집중이 발생하였고, 최대 von Mises 등가응력이 재료의 항복강도를 초과하였다. 이 최대응력 발생 위치는 시작품을 제작하여 수행한 도어개폐 내구시험 시에 파손된 브래킷핀의 부위와 일치하였으며, 응력해석 결과로부터 계산된 피로수명도 내구시험 결과와 정합성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 브래킷핀의 초기설계 안에서 나타난 응력집중을 완화하기 위하여 브래킷핀의 형상을 변경하는 3가지 설계개선안을 도출하고 해석을 수행하여 안전성을 평가하였다. 설계개선안의 해석결과, 브래킷핀의 원판과 원통 사이에 필렛을 삽입하면 응력집중을 저감시키고 피로수명은 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 브래킷핀의 원판을 2단으로 변경하면 응력집중을 저감시키고 피로수명은 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 가장 우수한 설계개선안은 브래킷핀의 원판을 2단으로 변경하고 반경이 큰 필렛을 삽입한 경우로서, 응력집중이 가장 작고 피로수명이 무한대인 것으로 판단된다.
