This paper deals with the applicability of linear elastic fracture mechanics under centrifugal force. Stress intensity factors K are calculated as a function of the inclination crack of length 2a, the position at different angular velocities 1200rpm, 2400rpm and at different values of the inclination crack angle .phi. ( .phi. = 0 .deg. , 15 .deg. , 30 .deg. , 45 .deg. , 60 .deg. , 75 .deg. , 90 .deg. ) and are measured in models of rotation disks using a boundary element method. Especially, stress intensity factors $K_{l}$ and $K_{ll}$ obtained separately from the crack tip of the mixed mode, were used to further investigate the influence of $K_{l}$ and $K_{ll}$ on fracture in rotating disks. With the increase in the speed of rotation, the effect of K/ sub l/became larger where as that of $K_{ll}$ became small. For the increase in the inclination crack angle .phi. , a decrease in $K_{l}$ and an increase in $K_{ll}$ were observed.

Background: The objective of this study was to describe the extent of pain relief after an epidural steroid injection in the patients suffering from chronic low back pain from herniated disks or lumbar spinal stenosis. Methods: The study was prospectively designed for patients suffering with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) and herniated disks (HD) who were referred to a hospital-based pain clinic for epidural steroid injections (ESI). The pain was assessed with using a visual analog scale at baseline, two weeks after the first ESI and two weeks after the third ESI. Results: Eighty patients were enrolled, and all of them provided pain ratings before and after the injections. The LSS patients seemed to improve less than did the HD patients. The results showed no significant differences in the triamcinolone dosage and the frequency of injections for determining the efficacy of ESI. Conclusions: The LSS patients tended to have a less effective respond to ESIs than did the HD patients. The unsatisfactory response to ESI by the LSS patients underscores the need for randomized controlled trials of performing ESI in this population.

Hard disk drives (HDD) in computer are used extensively as data storage capacity. The trend in the computer industry to produce smaller disk drives rotating at higher speeds requires an improved understanding of fluid motion in the space between disks. Laser sheet and digital camera was used for 2-dimensional visualization of the unsteady flow between the center pair of two co-rotating disks in air with a cylindrical enclosure (or shroud). Geometric parameters are gap height (H) between disks, and gap distance (G) between disk tip and shroud. The lobe-structured boundary between inner region and outer region was detected by inserted particles, and the number of dominant vortices was determined clearly It is found from flow visualization that the number of vortex cells can be correlated with Reynolds number based on H which is defined as $Re_H={\Omega}RH/v$ ranging from $3.18\times10^3\;to\;1.43\times10^4$, and decreases as the disk speed increases. The lobe pattern by vortex cells is changed to a circular pattern for the wide gap than narrow one.

The wear behaviors of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene pins against titanium alloy and stainless steel disks moving in two different kinematic motion were investigated by conducting repeat pass rotational sliding and linear reciprocal sliding wear tests. Linear reciprocal motion wore more the polyethylene pin than did repeat pass rotational motion for both disk materials. It means that the repeated directional change of contact stresses generates more wear debris in polyethylene. For the linear reciprocal sliding tests, titanium alloy disks were damaged with some scratches after one million cycles but no surface damage was observed on the polyethylene pins. On the other hand, fur the repeat pass rotational sliding tests, all titanium alloy disks were severely abraded on the entire region of sliding track. This phenomenon can be interpreted by that stress fatigue under repeated sliding contact initiated titanium oxide layer wear particles from disk surface, and these hard particles were embedded into polyethylene pin and then they severely abraded the disk surface. From these results it can be concluded that the kinematic motion in pin-on-disk wear tests play a crucial role on the wear behaviors of UHMWPE pins against titanium alloy and stainless steef discs.

The head to disk spacing must be decreased to increase recording densities in hard disk drives. Recently, to decrease the head to disk spacing, smooth disk having no bumps onto the lading zone has used. In this research, we compared the number of particles generated in HDD with smooth and textured disks. We used a sampling method using a particle sampler and a CPC (condensation particle counter) to detect particles in HDD. First, we sampled and counted panicles generated with disk rotational speed and various rest times when the smooth disk and textured disks were used, then analyzed the sampled particles by SEM (scanning electron microscopy) and AES (auger electron spectroscopy). In results of measuring particles, more particles in case of LZT disk drive generated than that of the smooth disk drive in all test modes. The number of particles generated in the smooth disk was very low. The particle generation increased as the rest time increased (smooth/LZT disks) and more particles in case of LZT disk drive generated than that of the smooth disk drive. In results of analyzing particle components, Al, Ti, Si components were detected and we could not found differences between components in case of smooth/LZT disk drive.

인터넷의 발달로 사용자는 원격지에 있는 컴퓨터에 24시간 접속할 수 있게 되었고 이에 따라 무정지 시스템에 대한 요구가 커지고 있다. 또한 이를 위해서 디스크와 호스트를 온라인으로 탈부착하는 기술에 대한 연구도 진행되고 있다. 이 논문은 스트라이핑으로 데이터를 저장하는 시스템에 온라인 디스크 부착을 할 때, 소프트웨어적인 부가적 작업을 줄일 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 SZIT라 불리는 메타데이터와 계산식을 이용하여 매핑하기 때문에, 전통적인 수식 기반 매핑 방법과 같이 빠른 매핑을 할 수 있으며, 디스크 확장으로 인한 전체 데이터를 재구성하는 오버헤드를 제거하는 장점을 가진다.

In this paper, we have designed and implemented the RAID controller board which connects to the host computer with serial ATA interface and connects to the disks with parallel ATA interface. Serial ATA interface is proposed to overcome the design limitation of parallel ATA while enabling the storage interface to scale with the slowing media rate demands for PC platforms. Serial ATA is to replace parallel ATA with the compatibility with existing operating systems and drivers, adding performance headroom for years to come. It Moreover, serial ATA provides even faster transfer rate of 150 Mbytes/s which is larger than that of current parallel ATA. The RAID controller board designed in this paper combines up to 4 disks with parallel ATA interface, and connects to PC host computer with serial ATA interface. We have implemented RAID controller using Verilog HDL language with FPGA chip. The RAID controller supports RAID level 0 and 1 functionality. Experimently, the average read/write performance of parallel ATA interface is about 30 Mbytes/s. Therefore, when 4 parallel disks is connected to the RAID controller board, we can get almost full throughput of serial ATA protocol using the RAID level 0 configuration with 4 disks.

Friction and wear properties of brake friction materials containing different metal fibers (Al, Cu or Steel fibers) were investigated using a pad-on-disk type friction tester. Two different materials(gray iron and Al-MMC)) were used for disks rubbing against the friction materials. Results from ambient temperature tests revealed that the friction material containing Cu fibers sliding against cast iron disk showed a distinct negative ${\mu}$-ν (friction coefficient vs. sliding velocity) relation implying possible stick-slip generation at low speed. The negative ${\mu}$-ν relation was not observed when the Cu-containing friction materials were rubbed against the. Al-MMC counter surface. As applied loads increased, friction materials showed higher friction coefficients comparatively. Friction materials slid against cast iron disks exhibited higher friction coefficients than Al-MMC disks during high temperature tests. On the other hand, high temperature test results suggested that copper fibers in the friction material improved fade resistance and the steel fibers were not compatible with Al-MMC disks showing severe material transfer and erratic friction behavior during sliding at elevated temperatures.
