[Purpose] Aerobic exercise training (AT) reverses aging-induced deterioration of arterial stiffness via increased arterial nitric oxide (NO) production. Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), an endogenous inhibitor of NO synthase, was decreased by AT. However, whether AT-induced changes in ADMA levels are related to changes in nitrite/nitrate (NOx) levels remains unclear. Accordingly, we aimed to clarify whether the relationship between plasma ADMA and NOx levels afected the AT-induced reduction of arterial stifness in middle-aged and older adults. [Methods] Thirty-one healthy middle-aged and older male and female subjects (66.4 ± 1.3 years) were randomly divided into two groups: exercise intervention and sedentary controls. Subjects in the training group completed an 8-week AT (60%-70% peak oxygen uptake [${\dot{V}}O_{2peak}$] for 45 min, 3 days/week). [Results] AT signifcantly increased ${\dot{V}}O_{2peak}$ (P < 0.05) and decreased carotid β-stifness (P < 0.01). Moreover, plasma ADMA levels were significantly decreased while plasma NOx levels and NOx/ADMA ratio were significantly increased by AT (P < 0.01). Additionally, no sex diferences in AT-induced changes of circulating ADMA and NOx levels, NOx/ADMA ratio, and carotid β-stifness were observed. Furthermore, the AT-induced increase in circulating ADMA levels was negatively correlated with an increase in circulating NOx levels (r = -0.414, P < 0.05), and the AT-induced increase in NOx/ADMA ratio was negatively correlated with a decrease in carotid β-stifness (r = -0.514, P < 0.01). [Conclusion] These results suggest that the increase in circulating NOx with reduction of ADMA elicited by AT is associated with a decrease in arterial stiffness regardless of sex in middle-aged and older adults.

The dynamic characteristics of externally pressurized journal bearing have been studied theoretically. The Reynolds' equation has been solved by FDM, and the dynamic coefficients have been calculated by using perturbation method. The bearing is compensated by orifice or double-pad diaphragm control valve. The effects of diaphragm initial gap and stiffness are considered. As the results of analysis, it is shown that a control valve has better performance than orifice.

The externally pressurized air journal bearings which have two circumferential grooves with inherently compensated restrictors are analyzed. Two circumferential grooves with restrictors are made on the bearing surface in order to increase the stiffness and damping coefficients. In this paper, the dynamic characteristics such as stiffness and damping coefficients of this type of bearings are calculated. As a result of theoretical analysis, it is verified that there exist the groove depth and the distance between two grooves which generate the maximum stiffness at the given bearing dimensions.

디젤 엔진의 푸쉬로드 타입의 밸브 트레인에서의 힘의 전달 과정을 기구학적 응용을 통하여 구하였다. 이러한 힘의 최종 전달 단계인 캠과 평판 종동물의 접촉에서의 작용하중과 상대 운동 속도를 계산하였고 접촉면에서의 유막 두께를 고체면의 탄성변형을 고려하여 계산하였다. 특히 탄성 유체 윤활의 해석을 하는데 있어서 안정성과 수렴성이 우수한 멀티그리드 멀티레벨 기법을 사용하였으며 동하중 상태를 고려하여 유막 두께를 계산하고 기존의 정상상태의 해석해와 비교하였다.

This paper describes the effects of exciting frequency on the stiffness and damping coefticients of a 5-pad tilting pad journal bearing, LOP (load on pad) type. The stiffness and damping coefficients are investigated experimentally under the different values of exciting frequency, bearing load and shaft speed. These coefficients are estimated by measuring the response of the relative displacement between the bearing and the shaft and acceleration of the bearing due to the known exciting loads acting on the bearing. In order to analysis the response of exciting load, displacement and acceleration, a FFT analyzer is used. It is shown that the variation of exciting frequency has a little effect on both the stiffness and damping coefficients. Both the stiffness and damping coefficients in the loading direction are decreased by the increase of shaft speed but increased by the increase of bearing load.

Under the huge seismic loads, there are too many risks about which high-rise buildings lost their lateral stiffness caused by plasticity on frame members. Because of earthquake is important cause to bring the collapes countinue to human's life, many reports examined these phenomenons in various angles. And some of them reported the high possibility about building collapse by deformation concentrations under huge earthquakes. For preventing these phenomenons, researchers suggest some items-such as adding damping devices or strengthen their ductility or stifness. This report suggests choose the method of strengthen building stiffness and suggests the alternative designs using high strength steel-SM570TMC, and provides the results of time-history analysis about the alternative designs for investigation.

Springs are widely utilized in machine element. To find out stiffness of coil spring, the space beam theory using the finite element method is adopted in this paper. In three dimensional space, a space frame element is a straight bar of uniform cross section which is capable of resisting axial forces, bending moments about two principal axes in the plane of its cross section and twisting moment about its centroidal axis. The corresponding displacement degrees of freedom are twelve. The displacements of nodal points due to small increment of force are calculated by the finite element method and the calculated nodal displacements are added to coordinates of nodal points. The new stiffness matrix of the system using the new coordinates of nodal points is adopted to calculated the another increments of nodal displacements, that is, the step by step method is used in this paper. The results of the finite element method are fairly well agreed with those of various experiments. Using MATLAB program developed in this paper, spring constants can be predicted by input of few factors.

본 논문에서는 실내실험을 통하여 U형 강박스거더의 상부 수평브레이싱이 비틂거동에 미치는 영향을 파악하고 기존의 제안식에 대한 적정성을 검토하기 위하여, 실제 시공되고 있는 U형 강박스거더 단면 크기의 2/3 정도 되는 캔틸레버보 형식의 시험체를 제작하여 상부 수평브레이싱의 형태 및 패널 간격에 따른 비틂강성의 효과를 파악하였다. 그 결과, 상부 수평브레이싱을 설치함으로써 거더의 비틂강성이 상당히 증가함을 알 수 있었으며, 브레이싱의 패널 구성을 가장 경제적으로 설계하기 위해서는 폭과 길이의 비가 약 1:1.5 즉, 대각선브레이싱과 상부 플랜지의 경사 예각이 약 $40^{\circ}$로 설치하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단되었다.

최근 전통적인 구조 최적화 알고리즘의 단점을 극복하기 위해서 부재 변위기여도를 이용뼈 부재 사이즈를 조절함으로써 건물의 변위을 만족시키는 재분배기법이 실용적인 고층 건물 변위설계법으로 인식되고 있다. 재분배 기법을 이용한 변위 설계법은 변위에 효과적인 부재는 물량은 증가시키고, 변위제어에 효과적이지 못한 부재의 물량은 감소시키는 방법으로 변위를 제어한다. 기존 연구에서 재분배 기법은 동적 변위기여도에 근거하여 지진하중을 받는 철골 구조물의 변위를 효과적으로 제어할 수 있었다 기존의 연구에서 재분배 기법은 정하중과 지진하중을 받는 고층 건물의 변위를 효과적으로 제어할 수 있었으나, 재분배 기법으로 설계된 구조물의 비선형 성능에 대한 평가는 이루어 지지 못했다. 본 연구에서는 변위 제어 뿐 만 아니라 비선형 특성을 함께 개선할 수 있는 재분배 기법을 개발하기 위한 기초 연구로서, 재분배 기법의 비선형 특성 평가 모델을 개발하고, 이를 구조 시스템 중에서 가장 단순한 형태인 철골 모멘트 저항 골조 예제에 적용히여 철골 모멘트 저항 골조에 대한 재분배 기법의 비선형 특성을 평가하였다.
