Purpose: This study aimed: to confirm the balance ability of patients with spinal cord injury in the sitting state through a functional reach test using an elastic aid; and to propose a balance improvement plan. Methods: The study evaluated seven patients with spinal cord injury who could maintain a sitting posture through minimum assistance. A functional reach test was performed before and after wearing an elastic aid while sitting on a chair, and the effects before and after use of the elastic aid were compared and analyzed through a motion analyzer. Results: In the functional reach test, the forward movement distance of the hand was 97.45 mm before wearing the elastic aid, but significantly increased to 131 mm after wearing the aid (p<0.05). Corresponding forward movement distances for the shoulder were 81.26 mm and 113 mm (p<0.05 for the increase). There was no statistically significant change in lateral functional arm extension. Conclusion: It was confirmed, through a functional reach test, that trunk stability in patients with spinal cord injury increased with use of an elastic aid. In future, more efficient rehabilitation treatment programs will be possible if trunk stability in patients with spinal cord injury is improved by using elastic aids, and if various exercise treatments are also included in the rehabilitation programs.

It has been reported that the plugged steam generator tube of Three Mile Island Unit 1 in America was damaged by growing flaw and then this steam generator tube destroyed the nearby steam generator tubes of normal state. On this account, stabilizer installation is necessary to prevent secondary damage of the steam generator tubes. The flow-induced vibration is one of the major causes of the fluid-elastic instability. To guarantee the structural integrity of steam generator tubes, the flow-induced vibration caused by the fluid-elastic instability is necessary to be suppressed. In this paper, the effective velocity and the critical velocity are calculated to evaluate the fluid-elastic instability. In addition, stability ratio value of the steam generator tubes is evaluated in order to propose one criterion when to determine stabilizer installation.

The paper discussed the effect of a tip mass on the stability of pipes on elastic foundations. Governing equations of motion are derived by extended Hamilton's principle, and the numerical scheme using finite element method is applied to obtain the discretized equations. With or without internal damping, the critical flow velocities of the pipes are investigated according to the variation of elastic foundation parameters and tip mass ratios. Also. the relationship between the eigenvalue branches and the corresponding flutter modes of the cantilevered pipes with a tip mass on the elastic foundations is fully investigated.

일반적으로, 보-기둥 부재로 구성된 강뼈대구조물의 설계는 개별부재의 유효좌굴길이를 고려하여 설계기준에서 제시한 안정성 평가식을 적용하고 있다. 그러나 이 방법은 구조물에서 상대적으로 작은 압축력이 적용되는 부재에서는 유효좌굴길이가 커지는 문제가 발생하게 된다. 이러한 문제를 극복하고자 본 연구에서는 대상 구조물의 초기결함(initial imperfection)을 고려한 2차 탄성해석법을 제시한다. 이 방법은 탄성좌굴 고유치해석으로 산정된 좌굴모드 및 좌굴고유치, 개별부재의 축력을 이용하여, 가장 작은 무차원 세장비를 가진 부재를 선정하고, 그 부재에 대하여 기하적, 재료적인 효과가 고려된 설계기준의 기준강도곡선으로부터 좌굴모드에 대한 증폭량을 산정한다. 이렇게 결정된 증폭량을 대상 구조물의 좌굴모드에 증폭시켜 2차 탄성해석을 수행하고, 개별부재의 안정성을 평가한다. 본 방법의 타당성을 확인하기 위하여, 8층 및 4층으로 이루어진 평면 강뼈대구조물에 적용시키고, 설계기준에서 제시하는 안정성 평가법과 비교한다.

The paper presents the dynamic stability of a vertical cantilevered pipe conveying fluid and having translational linear spring supports. Real pipe systems may have some elastic hanger supports or other mechanical attached parts., which can be regarded as attached spring supports. Governing equations are derived by energy expressions, and numerical technique using Galerkin's method is applied to discretize the equations of small motion of the pipe. Effects of spring supports on the dynamic stability of a vertical cantilevered pipe conveying fluid are fully investigated for various locations and spring constants of elastic supports.

본 논문은 탄성지반위에 놓인 비국소 자기-전기-탄성 나노 판의 구조안정에 관하여 1차 전단변형이론을 이용하여 분석하였다. 4변이 단순지지된 자기-전기-탄성 나노 판의 좌굴하중을 구하기 위하여 Navier 방법을 적용하였다. 기존의 연구들에서는 2방향 좌굴해석은 거의 연구되지 않았다. Maxwell 방정식과 자기-전기 경계조건에 따라 자기-전기-탄성 나노 판의 두께 방향에 따른 자위 및 전위의 변화가 결정된다. 자기-전기-탄성 나노 판의 탄성이론을 재 공식화하기 위하여 Eringen의 비국소 미분 구성 관계식을 사용하였고 변분이론을 이용하여 비국소 탄성이론의 지배방정식을 연구하였다. 탄성지반의 효과는 Pasternak의 가정을 적용하였다. 비국소 이론과 국소 이론의 관계를 계산 결과를 통하여 분석하였다. 또한, 전위 및 자위의 크기, 비국소 매개변수, 탄성지반 매개변수 그리고 폭-두께 비에 따른 구조적 안정문제를 연구하였다. 분석 결과들은 전위 및 자위의 효과를 나타내었다. 이러한 계산 결과들은 자기-전기-탄성 재료로 구성된 신소재 구조물에 관한 향후 연구의 비교자료가 될 수 있을 것이다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to observe the immediate effects of elastic taping and isometric exercises on balance ability in the elderly. Research design, data and methodology: 15 elderlies were participated in this study and randomly assigned into two group. The intervention group was applied elastic taping on ankle joint while the control group performed isometric ankle exercise in three sets for 30 seconds per set. Anterior-posterior and medial-lateral postural sway speed were measured after the experiment. To compare the change in balance ability between groups after the experiment, independent t-test was used. To investigate the change in balance ability between pre- and post-experiment within the groups, paired t-test was used. Results: A significant difference in medial-lateral postural sway speed was found after elastic taping application only in the intervention group (p>0.05). However, there was no significant difference between the groups. Conclusions: In conclusion, this finding supported that elastic taping would be helpful to support ankle stability and increase balance ability for the elderly as well as performance for sports athlete that was demonstrated in previous studies. Further studies will be necessary to confirm the long-term effects of elastic taping application on motor control and the risk of falling.

An analysis is presented on the stability of an elastic cantilever column subjected to a concentrated follower force as to the influence of the elastic restraint and a tip mass at the free end. The elastic restraint is formed by the rotatory springs. For this purpose, the governing equations and boundary conditions are derived by using Hamilton's principle, and the critical flutter loads and frequencies are obtained from the numerical evaluation of the eigenvalue functions of the considered system.

This paper addresses the method for the shape design sensitivity analysis of the buckling load in the continuous elastic body. The sensitivity formula for critical load is analytically derived and expressed in terms of shape variation, based on the continuum formulation of the stability problem. Though the buckling problem is more efficiently solved by the structural elements such as beam and shell, the elastic solids are considered in this paper because the solid elements can be used in general for any kind of structures whether they are thick or thin. The initial stress and buckling analysis is carried out by the commercial analysis code ANSYS. The sensitivity is computed by using the mathematical package MATLAB using the results of ANSYS. Several problems including straight and curved beams under compressive load, ring under pressure load, thin-walled section and bottle shaped column are chosen to illustrate the efficiency of the presented method.
