PURPOSE. The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the fracture loads and modes of failure for the full range of natural teeth under simulated occlusal loading. MATERIALS AND METHODS. One hundred and forty natural teeth were taken from mandibles and maxillas of patients. There were 14 groups of teeth with 10 teeth in each group (5 males and 5 females). Each specimen was embedded in resin and mounted on a positioning jig, with the long axis of the tooth at an inclined angle of 30 degrees. A universal testing machine was used to measure the compression load at which fracture of the tooth specimen occurred; loads were applied on the incisal edge and/or functional cusp. RESULTS. The mean fracture load for the mandibular first premolar was the highest (2002 N) of all the types of teeth, while the mean fracture load for the maxillary first premolar was the lowest (525 N). Mean fracture loads for the mandibular and maxillary incisors, and the first and second maxillary premolars, had significantly lower values compared to the other types of teeth. The mean fracture load for the teeth from males was significantly greater than that for the teeth from females. There was an inverse relationship between age and mean fracture load, in which older teeth had lower fracture loads compared to younger teeth. CONCLUSION. The mean fracture loads for natural teeth were significantly different, with dependence on tooth position and the sex and age of the individual.

파형 강판은 파형 형상으로 가공한 강판으로 교량, 건축물, 암거 등의 구조물에 많이 사용된다. 파형강판을 이용한 거더의 구조물 적용시 국부적인 면내 압축하중에 의해 크리플링현상이 발생할 수 있는데 높은 면외방향의 강성을 갖는 파형강판의 특성 때문에 보강재를 사용하지 않는 경우가 많이 있고 파형형상에 따라 지압하중의 경계조건이 달라진다. 몇 연구자들이 제형파형강판의 지압강도에 대한 연구를 하였으나 파형형상이 지압강도에 미치는 영향이 크게 고려되지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이에 따른 영향을 유한 요소해석법을 통하여 여러 가지 파형형상에 대한 변수해석을 하고 지압강도를 복부판 내하력과 플랜지 내하력으로 나누어 파형 형상과 지압강도와의 상관관계를 파악하였다.

혼합모드 피로하중을 받는 균열을 갖은 CTS 시편에 대하여 균열경로 예측이론과 Tanaka 의 등가 응력확대계수식을 적용하여 피로균열진전거동을 평가하였다. 새롭게 생성되는 균열선단의 응력확대계수 산정은 ANSYS 를 이용한 유한요소법을 통해 이루어졌고, 균열경로와 균열증분은 마이크로소프트 엑셀에 프로그래밍한 균열경로예측식과 Paris 식으로 계산되었다. 균열증분으로 새롭게 생성된 균열선단의 기하학적인 정보는 엑셀의 기능을 이용해 ANSYS 의 KSCON 명령어가 인식할 수 있게 변화시켜 균열모델링을 용이하게 하였다. 반복적인 균열해석을 위해 유한요소법과 엑셀을 결합한 FECTUM(Finite Element Crack Tip Updating Method)을 개발하였다. 개발된 FECTUM 을 편측 3 점 굽힘을 통해 혼합모드의 구현이 가능한 SENB 시편(Single Edge Notched Bend Specimen)에 적용해본 결과, 균열경로는 물론 파단될 때까지의 피로하중 반복수의 차이가 3% 미만으로 잘 일치하는 모습을 보여, 개발된 기법의 타당성을 검증하였다.

It was estimated by an analysis method thai the inner shell of HANARO reactor will be deformed due to pressure, loads, creep and growth during reactor operation. To confirm the analysis validity and safe operation of reactor, we developed tools to remotely measure the straightness of the inner shell located 12m below the pool top. The performance and the accuracy of the measurement tools have been verified through tests using a dummy inner shell and steel straight edge. The accuracy of the measurement shows very good results with a maximum error of 0.06mm by steel straight edge. The technical experiences described in this paper will be a good reference not only for the operation and maintenance of HANARO but also for the next performance of the measurement in the future.

Static response of an elastic beam on a two-parameter tensionless foundation is investigated by assuming that the beam is symmetrically subjected to a uniformly distributed load and concentrated edge loads. Governing equations of the problem are obtained and solved by pointing out that a concentrated edge foundation reaction in addition to a continuous foundation reaction along the beam axis in the case of complete contact and a discontinuity in the foundation reactions in the case of partial contact come into being as a direct result of the two-parameter foundation model. The numerical solution of the complete contact problem is straightforward. However, it is shown that the problem displays a highly non-linear character when the beam lifts off from the foundation. Numerical treatment of the governing equations is accomplished by adopting an iterative process to establish the contact length. Results are presented in figures to demonstrate the linear and non-linear behavior of the beam-foundation system for various values of the parameters of the problem comparatively.

Surface edge crack in transversely isotropic piezoelectric material is analyzed. The concentrated antiplane mechanical and inplane electrical loadings are applied to an arbitrary point of the surface, where the impermeable crack boundary condition is imposed. Using Mellin transform the problem is formulated, from which Wiener-Hopf equations are derived. By solving the equations the solution is obtained in a closed form. Mechanical and electric intensity factors and energy release rate are obtained and discussed. This problem could be used as a Green's function to generate the solutions of other problems with the same geometry but of different loading conditions.

In this study, the sliding wear in spur gears, using Archard's wear model, is analyzed. Formulas of tooth sliding wear depth along the line of action are derived. The tooth profile is modified Id make a smooth transmission of the normal loads and the cylinder profile for reducing the pressure spike is suggested. The sliding wear rate is calculated with these profiling results. We expect these modification methods to contribute to the reduction of sliding wear in the root and the tip of tooth and tooth edge.

In this paper, we examine the dynamic electromechanical behavior of an edge crack in a piezoelectric ceramic layer bonded between two elastic layers under the combined anti-plane mechanical shear and in-plane electric transient loadings. We adopted both the permeable and impermeable crack boundary conditions. Fourier transforms are used to reduce the problem to the solution of two pairs of dual integral equations, which are then expressed to a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. Numerical values on the dynamic energy release rate are presented to show the dependences upon the geometry, material combination, electromechanical coupling coefficient and electric field.

Wind tunnel pressure tests were conducted on a 1:100 scale model of a large industrial building with solar panels mounted parallel to the flat roof. The model form was chosen to have the same aspect ratio as the Texas Tech University test building. Pressures were simultaneously measured on the roof, and on the topside and underside of the solar panel, the latter two combining to produce a nett panel pressure. For the configurations tested, varying both the lateral spacing between the panels and the height of the panels above the roof surface had little influence on the measured pressures, except at the leading edge. The orientation of the panels with respect to the wind flow and the proximity of the panels to the leading edge had a greater effect on the measured pressure distributions. The pressure coefficients are compared against the results for the roof with no panels attached. The model results with no panels attached agreed well with full-scale results from the Texas Tech test building.

In this paper, structural behaviors of anchor systems subjected to shear loads are analyzed by using fracture analysis and experiments. Two dimensional finite element analyses of concrete anchor systems to predict breakout failure of concrete through progressive fracture are carried out by utilizing the so-called embedded crack model. Three dimensional finite element analyses are also carried out to investigate the fracture behavior of anchor systems having different effective lengths, edge distances, spacings between anchors, and direction of loads. Results of analyses are compared with both experimental results and design values of ACI code on anchor, and then applicability of finite element method for predicting fracture behavior of concrete anchor systems is verified.
