The understanding of impact-induced delamination is important in safety and reliability of composite structure. In this study, a model for arrest toughness is proposed in consideration of fracture behavior of composite materials. Also, the probabilistic model is proposed to describe the variability of arrest toughness due to the nonhomogeneity of material. For these models, experiments were conducted on the Carbon/Epoxy composite plates with various thickness using the impact hammer. The elastic work factor used in J-Integral is applicable to the evaluation of energy release rate. The fracture behavior can be described by crack arrest concept and the arrest toughness is independent of the delamination size. Additionally, a probabilistic characteristics of arrest toughness is well described by the Weibull distribution function. A variation of arrest toughness increases with specimen thickness.

An elast-biscoplastic finite element analysis is performed to investigate detailed growth behavior of creep cracks and the numerical results are compared with experimental results. The results of mesh translation method are compared with those of node release method. Load line displancement curve obtained from the crack growth analysis by mesh translation shows the improved results than that obtained from the crack growth by node release method when the secondary creep rate is only used as creep material property. The results of accounting for primary creep rate and instantaneous plasticity shows a good agreement with the experimental result.

Evidence has suggested that an anion channel blocker, 4, 4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2, 2' disulfonic acid (DIDS) could trigger Ca release from skeletal sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) by binding to a 30 kDa SR protein. Since the high molecular weight $Ca^{2＋}$ release channel (CRC)/ryanodine receptor (RyR) is the main SR protein that conducts $Ca^{2＋}$ efflux in skeletal muscles, the relationship between CRC and the 30kDa protein remains to be elucidated.(omitted)

This paper presents the analysis results for the core degradation processes and the fission product release of the PHEBUS FPT0 experiment using MELCOR1.8.3. The objective of this study is to assess models associated with the core damage and fission product behavior in MELCOR. The calculation results were much improved through sensitivity studies. Thermal/hydraulic behavior in the core and the circuit was well predicted under the intact core geometry. In non-eutectic model case. the UO$_2$ dissolution model in the MELCOR always showed such a tendency that the resulting dissolved UO$_2$ mass was small at the highly oxidized condition due to the model logic. Total H$_2$ generation mass was underpredicted because the stiffner was not modeled and the liner in the shroud was not allowed to be oxidized in MELCOR. Some difficulties were found in modeling the activation product were solved by manipulating the RN input associated with the initial fission product inventory. These problem were occurred because there are no control rod model in MELCOR. Generally the fission product release ratio showed a similar trend compared with the measured data except the activation product. which have no model to simulate in MELCOR.

This paper described an experimental investigations of combustion instability mode in a lean premixed dual swirl combustor for micro-gasturbine system. When such the instability occurs, a strong coupling between pressure oscillations and unsteady heat release excites a self-sustained acoustic wave which results in a loud, annoyed sound and may also lead a structural damage to the combustion chamber. The detailed period of flame behavior and heat release in combustion instability mode have been examined with high speed OH and CH-PLIF system and $CH^*$ chemiluminescence measurement, flame tomography with operated at 10 kHz and 6 kHz each. Experiment results suggest that unstable flame behavior has a specific frequency with 200 Hz and this frequency is accords with about 1/2 sub-harmonic of combustor resonance frequency, not fundamental frequency. This is very interesting phenomenon that have not reported yet from other previous works. Therefore, when a thermo-acoustic instability with Rayleigh criterion occurs, the fact that the period of heat release and flame behavior are different each other was proposed for the first time through this work.

삼투정 펠렛은 경구를 통한 약물전달 시스템에 폭넓게 사용되고 있으며, 이러한 삼투정 펠렛은 수팽윤성 시드층과 모델약물인 니페디핀을 포함하는 약물층 그리고 약물의 방출을 조절하는 반투막 층으로 구성되어 있다. 이번 연구에서는 모델약물인 니페디핀을 포함한 삼투정 펠렛을 제조하고, 반투막층으로 사용되는 초산셀룰로오스(CA)와 Eudragit RS의 코팅두께에 따른 약물방출 거동과 알긴산 나트륨과 알긴산 나트륨의 가교가 삼투정 펠렛의 약물방출에 미치는 영향에 대하여 확인하고자 하였다. 모델약물인 니페디핀을 포함한 삼투정 펠렛의 제조는 유동층코팅기를 이용하여 제조하였으며, 비교적 높은 코팅 수율로 $1500{\sim}1700{\mu}m$ 내외의 펠렛이 제조됨을 SEM을 통하여 확인하였다. 이렇게 얻어진 펠렛의 반투막 층의 코팅두께에 따른 약물방출 거동을 보면 반투막의 코팅 두께가 증가할수록 약물의 방출이 지연됨을 확인하였다. 알긴산 나트륨을 반투막층 위에 코팅하였을 경우 인공위액(pH 1.2)에서는 약물방출이 거의 일어나지 않았으며, 인공장액(pH 6.8)으로 교체한 후 약물방출이 서서히 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 알긴산 나트륨을 염화칼슘을 이용하여 가교시켰을 경우 약물의 방출이 급격히 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 이번 실험을 통하여 삼투정 펠렛의 약물방출은 반투막충의 코팅두께에 영향을 받으며, 알긴산 나트륨이 삼투정 펠렛의 약물방출에 영향을 끼침을 확인하였다.

약물의 서방화에 있어서 독성이 특히 강하거나 유효 치료영역이 좁은 약물일수록 초기 버스트는 매우 중요하다. 이러한 약물의 전달을 위한 단일층으로 이루어진 나노미립구의 이용은 표면에 존재하는 약물 때문에 초기 버스트가 커서 서방화에 적절치 못하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 생분해성 고분자인 덱스트란과 락타이드-글리콜라이드 공중합체(PLCA)를 이용한 이중층 나노미립구를 제조하여 서방성 방출 거동을 보이는 약물 전달체 제조에 대한 연구를 수행 하였다. 덱스트란과 PLCA의 나노미립구는 W/O/W법을 이용하여 이중 에멀젼 과정을 통해 제조하였고 계면활성제로는 폴리(비닐 알코올)(PVA)을 사용하였다. 덱스트란의 생체외 방출 거동을 확인하기 위해 동결 건조된 시료를 직경 $3{\times}1mm$ 몰드를 이용하여 웨이퍼를 제조하여 증류수에서 7일간 방출 거동을 확인하였다. 이중층 나노미립구는 각각의 단일고분자로 이루어진 나노미립구에 비해 다른 방출거동을 보였다. 특히 유화제인 PVA농도가 $0.2\%$인 것이 0차 방출에 가까운 결과를 보였다. 본 실험을 통해 대조군인 물리적인 혼합 모델, 덱스트란 또는 PLGA로만 이루어진 웨이퍼 및 단일층 미립구에 비해 이중층 나노미립구의 내부물질인 덱스트란의 방출 거동이 서방형을 보임을 확인할 수 있었으며 PVA의 함량에 따라 방출 거동을 조절할 수 있었다.

Modified singular fracture process zone(S-FPZ) model is proposed in this paper to determine a fracture criterion for continuous crack propagation in concrete. The investigated fracture properties of the proposed fracture model are strain energy release rate at a micro-crack tip and the relationship between crack closure stress(CCS) and crack opening displacement(COD) in the FPZ. The proposed model can simulate the actual fracture energy of experimental results fairly well. The results of the experimental data analysis show that specimen geometry and loading condition did not affect the CCS-COD relation. However, the strain energy release rate is a function of not only specimen geometry but also crack extension. The strain energy release rate remained constantly at the minimum value up to the crack extension of 25 mm, and then it increased linearly to the maximum value. The maximum fracture criterion occurred at the peak load for specimens of large size. The fracture criterion remained at the maximum value after the peak load. The variation of the fracture criterion is caused by micro-cracking and micro-crack localization. The fracture criterion of strain energy release rate can simply be the size effect of concrete fracture, and it can be used to quantify the micro-cracking and micro-crack localizing behavior of concrete.

The objectives of this study were to investigate the influence of gamma irradiation for sterilization on poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) with different molecular weight and the effect of gamma irradiation on the release behavior of 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU, carmustine) from PLGA wafer with various irradiation doses. The effect of gamma irradiation on PLGA was evaluated by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). The weight average molecular weight (M$_{w}$) and glass transition temperature (T$_{g}$) of PLGA decreased after gamma irradiation. The extent of M$_{w}$ reduction was dependent on irradiation dose and PLGA molecular weight. Using EPR spectroscopy, we successfully detected gamma irradiation induced free radicals in PLGA. The gamma irradiation increased the release rate of BCNU from PLGA wafer at applied irradiation doses except 2.5 Mrad of irradiation dose in this study.study.

Thermal cross-linking method of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) using poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) was carried out on PVA/PAA hydrogels. The level of gelation was measured in the PVA/PAA hydrogels with various PAA contents. The swelling behavior at various pHs showed that the swelling kinetics and water contents of the PVA/PAA hydrogels reached equilibrium after 30 h, and the time to reach the equilibrium state decreased with increasing PAA content in the hydrogel. The water content increased with increasing pH of the buffer solution. The permeation and release of the drug were tested using indomethacin as a model drug. The permeated and released amounts of the drug increased with decreasing the PAA content because of the low free volume in the hydrogel due to the higher cross-linking density. The kinetic profile of drug release at various pHs showed that all samples reached the equilibrium state within the 5 h.
