Nitric oxide (NO) system has been implicated in a wide range of physiological functions in the nervous system. However, the role of NO in regulating the neural activity in the gustatory zone of nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) has not been established. The present study was aimed to investigate the role of NO in the gustatory NTS neurons. Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing about 50 g, were used. Whole cell patch recording and immunohistochemistry were done to determine the electrophysiological characteristics of the rostral gustatory nucleus of the tractus solitaries and distribution of NO synthases (NOS). Neuronal NOS (nNOS) immunoreactivity was strongly detected along the solitary tract extending from rostral to caudal medulla. Resting membrane potentials of NTS neurons were $-49.2{\pm}2\;mV$ and action potential amplitudes were $68.5{\pm}2\;mV$ with a mean duration measured at half amplitude of $1.7{\pm}0.3\;ms$. Input resistance, determined from the response to a 150 ms, -100 pA hyperpolarizing current pulse, was $385{\pm}15\;M{\Omega}$, Superfusion of SNAP or SNP, NO donors, produced either hyperpolarization (68%), depolarization (5%), or no effect (27%). The hyperpolarization was mostly accompanied by a decrease in input resistance. The hyperpolarization caused by SNAP or SNP increased the time to initiate the first action potential, and decreased the number of action potentials elicited by current injection. SNP or SNAP also markedly decreased the number of firing neural discharges of the spontaneous NTS neural activity under zero current. Superfusion of L-NAME, a NOS inhibitor, slightly depolarized the membrane potential and increased the firing rate of NTS neurons induced by current injection. ODQ, a soluble guanylate cyclase inhibitor, ameliorated the SNAP-induced changes in membrane potential, input resistance and firing rates. 8-Br-cGMP, a non-degradable cell-permeable cGMP, hyperpolarized the membrane potential and decreased the number of action potentials. It is suggested that NO in the gustatory NTS has an inhibitory role on the neural activity of NTS through activating soluble guanylate cyclase.

The arches may buckle in a symmetrical snap-through mode or in an asymmetry bifurcation mode if the load reaches a certain value. Each bifurcation curve develops as pressure increases. The governing equation is derived according to the bending theory. The balance of forces provides a nonlinear equilibrium equation. Bifurcation theory near trivial solution of the equation is developed, and the buckling pressures are investigated for various spring constants and opening angles.

최근 강구조물과 해양구조물에 있어서 박판 부재인 고장력강이 널리 사용되면서 좌굴이 발생할 가능성이 커지고 있다. 특히 선박구조는 상자형 박판 구조물로서 용접이나 절단등의 열 가공에 의하여 필연적으로 판부재에 초기처짐이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 초기처짐은 박판부재가 좌굴을 동반한 복잡한 비선형 거동을 나타낼 때 악영향을 미치는 요소이다. 결과적으로 선체구조물이나 해양구조물에 안정성과 정확성을 부여하기 위해서는 발생 가능한 초기처짐을 이상화하여 2차좌굴 거동을 고려한 붕괴 매커니즘을 초기구조설계에 반영하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 종방향 압축하중이 작용하고 네변 단순지지조건인 판에 실제 계측된 여러 가지 초기처짐형상을 적용한 유한요소 해석을 하였다. 해석방법으로서는 범용 유한요소프로그램인 ANSYS의 탄소성대변형 유한요소법을 적용하였고 해석제어는 Newton-Raphson method와 Arc-length method를 병용하였다.

Deployable structures are space frames consisting of straight bars that are linked together into bundle and can be deployed large, load bearing structures. Deployable structures are easy to set up, to assemble, to disassemble, to transport and to keep for the use. Also, reusability and flexibility are another important advantages for environmental matter. Since deployable structures have various advantages, they offer viable alternatives for a wide range of potential applications in the temporary construction industry as well as in the aerospace industry. The purpose of this thesis is to decide on geometrical parameters of the design through the numerical analysis and create a final configuration of deployable structures using the geometrical parameters. The Multibody Dynamic Analysis that is dealt with mechanics and aeronautics is used for the method of analysis.

본 연구는 플라스틱 부품의 체결에 널리 활용되고 있는 스냅핏의 설계에 관하여 연구하였다. 이탈방지 기능이 우수한 이탈방지 스냅핏은 형상과 체결 메카니즘이 복잡하여 기존의 이론식에 기반한 체결력과 이탈력을 해석적으로 구할 수가 없다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이탈방지 스냅핏에 대하여 체결 메커니즘을 분석하고, 실험계획법에 기반하여 체결력 및 이탈력을 측정하고, 분산분석을 통하여 회귀식을 도출하였다. 실험계획은 중심합성계획을 사용하였다. Polybutylene terephthalate를 이용하여 시편을 제작하여 미소인장시험기를 이용하여 체결력과 이탈력을 측정하였다. 설계인자는 Length, Width, Thickness, Interference 등 4개를 선정하였으며, 2차 회귀모형을 이용하여 체결력과 이탈력에 대한 회귀식을 도출하였다. Length와 Width가 증가할수록 체결력은 낮아졌으며, Thickness와 Interference는 증가할수록 체결력이 증가하였다. 이탈력은 체결력과 반대의 결과를 나타내었다. 유한요소법을 이용하여 체결 역학에 대하여 분석하였다. Width는 체결단계에서 단면관성모멘트의 증가를 통한 보의 강성 증가 효과 보다는, 오히려 길이 증가에 따른 연성증대로 인하여 체결력을 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 낮은 체결력과 높은 이탈력을 위한 인자들의 영향도는 서로 상반되는 것으로 나타났다. 적정 수준의 이탈력을 유지하면서 체결력을 최소화하는 설계가 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

Timber structures are susceptible to moisture, contamination, and pest infestation, which can compromise their integrity and pose a significant fire hazard. Despite these drawbacks, timber's lightweight properties, eco-friendliness, and alignment with current architectural trends emphasizing sustainability make it an attractive option for construction. Moreover, timber structures offer economic benefits and provide a natural aesthetic that regulates building temperature and humidity. In recent years, timber domes have gained popularity due to their high recyclability, lightness, and improved fire resistance. Researchers are exploring hybrid timber and steel domes to enhance stability and rigidity. However, shallow dome structures still face challenges related to structural instability. This study investigates stability problems associated with timber domes, the behavior of timber and steel hybrid domes, and the impact of timber member positioning on dome stability and critical load levels. The paper analyzes unstable buckling in single-layer lattice domes using an incremental analysis method. The critical buckling load of the domes is examined based on the arrangement of timber members in the inclined and horizontal directions. The analysis shows that nodal snapping is observed in the case of a concentrated load, whereas snap-back is also observed in the case of a uniform load. Furthermore, the use of inclined timber and horizontal steel members in the lattice dome design provides adequate stability.

The postbuckling analysis of composite curved panels subjected to lateral loading was conducted by a nonlinear finite clement program, ACOS. Two kinds of graphite/epoxy composite materials, URN300 and USN 125 were tested to verify the finite element analysis. High stiffness composite material, URN300 curved panels showed the critical failure prior to initial buckling. On the contrary USN 125 curved panels showd no severe damage after snap-through. In both panels, the finite element and experimental results showed good agreement.

The main object of this study is to develop a reliable FEM simulation technique for stability test using ABAQUS software and to clarify the effect of base profile of a steel D&I(drawn and ironed) can on the dome reversal pressure. For the can after body making simulation, two kind of stability test, dome buckle test and axial crush test are performed. The factors studied in the base profile on the dome reversal pressure are the base diameter, the rim radius, the dome shoulder radius, the dome radius and the dome depth. Within the limits before the occurrence of normal snap-through buckling of dome, the dome reversal pressure is improved by decreasing the base diameter, increasing the dome depth or increasing the dome shoulder depth.

Most motion control systems consist of a desired trajectory generator, a motion controller such as a conventional PID controller, and a plant to be controlled. The desired trajectory generator as well as the motion controller is very important to achieve a good tracking performance. Especially, if the desired trajectory is generated actively utilizing the maximum velocity, acceleration, jerk and snap as given system specifications, the tracking performance would be better. For this, we make use of the properties of convolution operator in order to generate a smooth (S-curve) trajectory satisfying the system specifications. Also, the proposed trajectory generation method is extended to more general cases with arbitrary initial and terminal conditions. In addition, the suggested trajectory generator can be easily realized for real-time implementation. Finally, the effectiveness of the suggested method is shown through numerical simulations.
