In this study, we analyzed and compared the ultrasonic welding with the laser welding for the pure aluminium thin plates in a series of secondary lithium-ion batteries which are currently being produced by the ultrasonic welding; and performed the experiment for the purpose of the preceding study to replace the ultrasonic welding method with the laser welding method. As a result, the weld width of ultrasonic welding was 5mm, but that of laser welding was about 1~1.5 mm. As a result of tension test, the tensile strength was high when the pulse duration hour was short at the low peak power, while the high tensile strength was achieved when the pulse duration hour was long at the high peak power. The value of tensile strength was higher in the ultrasonic welding while the laser welding showed a maximum 45% better result as for the welding width.

Non-metallic composite overwrap repair methods utilize resin based fiber-reinforced composite materials, which have higher specific strength to weight ratio and stiffness, superior corrosion and fatigue resistance, and substantially reduced weight when compared to carbon steel. Non-metallic repair methods/systems can allow desired functional properties to be achieved at a respectable economic advantage. For example, non-metallic composite repair systems have at least a 50 year design stress of 20 ksi and approximately 25% of the short term tensile strength of fiberglass. For these systems, the contribution of the repaired steel to the load carrying capability need not be considered, as the strength of the repair itself is sufficient to carry the internal pressure. Worldwide experience in the Oil & Gas industry confirms the integrity, durability, inherent permanency, and cost-effectiveness of non-metallic composite repair or rehabilitation systems. A case study of a recent application of a composite repair system in Saudi Aramco resulted in savings of 37% for offshore subsea line and 75% for onshore above grade pipeline job. Maintaining a pipeline can be costly but it is very small in comparison to the cost of a failure. Pipeline proponents must balance maintenance costs with pipeline integrity. The purpose is not just to save money but also to attain a level of safety that is acceptable. This technology involves the use of an epoxy polymer resin based, fiber-reinforced composite sleeve system for rehabilitation and /or repair pipelines.

파괴 인성 실험은 상아질-복합레진 계면의 파절 저항성을 평가할 수 있는 임상적으로 신뢰 할 만한 방법이다. 본 연구의 목적은 상아질-레진 계면의 파괴인성과 미세인장결합강도를 측정하여 이 두 실험방법이 상아질-레진 결합을 평가하는 데 가지는 유용성을 비교, 평가하는 것이다 파괴 인성 측정에는 short-rod 시편 형태를 이용하였다. 각 시편에서는 소의 하악절치에서 절단한 치아 절편을 포함시켜 결합면을 얻었다. 미세인장 결합강도 또한 소의 하악절치 순면을 연마하여 상아질을 노출시킨 후 상아질 접착제를 도포하고 레진 블록을 축조하여 측정하였다. 각 시편들은 $37^{\circ}C$ 증류수에 24시간 보관한 후 각 실험방법에 맞게 인장력을 가하여 측정치를 구하였다. 통계분석은 95% 신뢰수준의 ANOVA와 Tukey's test를 이용하였으며, 두 실험방법의 상관관계를 보기 위해 Pearson's 상관계수를 계산하였다. 전자현미경 검사를 통해 미세구조 또한 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 파괴인성은 SE군이 가장 높은 값을 나타냈으며, Adper Single Bond 2 (SB), OptiBond Solo (OB) ONE-STEP PLUS (OS), ScotchBond Multi-purpose (SM)군 순으로 나타났고, Clearfil SE Bond (SE)군은 다른 실험군에 비해 유의하게 높은 값을 나타내었으나 (p <0.05), 다른 실험군 사이에는 유의차가 없었다 (p > 0.05). 2. 미세인장결합강도는 SE군이 가장 높은 값을 나타냈으며, SB, OB, SM, 그리고 OS 순으로 나타났다. SB, OB, SM, SE군 사이에는 통계학적인 유의차가 없었으나 (p > 0.05), OS군의 미세인장결합강도는 다른 4개의 실험군에 비해 낮은 값을 나타내었다 (p < 0.05). 3. FE-SEM관찰에서 피막도가 두껍게 나타난 SM군, SE군과 피막도가 얇은 OS군, OB군, SB군 간에 파괴양상이 다르게 나타났다 즉 전자는 접착층 내 파괴가 일어난 반면, 후자는 resin tag나 레진 침투층 내에서 파절되는 양상을 나타내었다. 4. 파괴 인성과 미세인장결합강도 사이에는 통계학적으로 유의 한 상관 관계가 없었다 ($r^2=0.223$, t=0.927). 이와 같은 결과를 토대로, 상아질 접착제의 임상적 효율성을 평가하고자 할 때는 결합강도 뿐만 아니라. 파괴인성도 함께 고려하여 임상적용의 예견성을 높여야 한다고 결론내릴 수 있다.

In the civil engineering and architecture fields, welding for large sectional members, such as I section steel and H section steel, are usually performed. a flash welding system, by which large I section steel or H section steel can be welded for a short time, was newly developed. In order to know the basic characteristics of welded joints, the specimens were cut out from flash welded joints, and tensile and fatigue experiments were carried out. The joint efficiency of welded joints by flash welding is 100% for the specimens with reinforcements and 93% for without reinforcements. The fatigue strength of welded joints with reinforcement was about 50% of that of the base metal. Removing the reinforcement generated by flash welding, fatigue strength of flash welded joints became 75% of that of the base metal. In case of flash welded joints with reinforcements, after a couple of fatigue cracks had propagated, ductile fracture occurred at the toe. In flash welded joints without reinforcements, fracture occurred at the bond or at HAZ (Heat Affected Zone). In case of fracture at the bond, fracture was brittle, and in case at HAZ, fracture was ductile.

고온에 노출된 GFRP와 CFRP 보강근의 단지간보 실험을 통해 계면전단강도를 측정하였다. 1차 실험으로서, 노출시간과 온도를 변수로 하였으며, 적용된 고온 조건하에서 강도의 변화를 고찰하였으다. 1차 실험의 결과로부터 두가지 보강근에 대하여 임계온도가 $270^{\circ}C$로 동일한 것을 확인하였다. 이 연구에서 임계온도는 상온에서의 계면전단강도의 50%의 손실을 발생시키는 온도로 정의하였다. 계면전단강도에 대한 임계온도는 섬유의 종류가 아닌 레진이 성능에 지배된다는 것이다. 2차 실험에서는 임계온도하에서 0.25시간의 간격으로 노출시간에 대한 영향을 고찰하였다. 모든 실험 결과로부터, 노출시간의 영향은 노출온도에 비하여 그 영향이 크진 않지만 무시할 정도는 아닌 것으로 나타났다. 더욱이, 그 영향은 임계온도하에서 매우 중대함을 확인하였다.

Background: In anesthetic techniques, touching bones can cause needle bending. Theoretically, a needle should support such deflection without fracturing. However, it is possible that a needle may fracture depending on the quality and type of needle used. This study evaluated the physical, chemical, and micromorphological characteristics of long and short dental anesthetic needles, as well as the mechanical properties of flexural load and bending resistance when needles are subjected to different bending angles. Methods: Long and short needles (30G, Jets, Misawa, Selekto, Terumo, Unoject and 27G, Dencojet, Injex, Jets, Misawa, Procare, Setoject XL, Terumo) were evaluated. Scanning electron microscopy was used to evaluate the needle bevels and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy was used for the chemical analysis of needle compositions. Flexural loading and bending strength assessments were performed using a universal testing machine by bending the needles (n = 5) to angles of 30°, 60°, or 90°, or until fracture occurred. Results: The Injex 27G, Jets 27G, and Septoject XL 27G needles were all less than 30 mm in length. There were small percentage variations in the chemical compositions of the needles. Superior smoothness was observed for the Unoject 30G needle, which exhibited the highest fracture resistance at 60°. The Jets 30G needle exhibited greater resistance to fractures at 90°. The Procare 27G needle exhibited the highest load resistance to bending, followed by the Septoject XL 27G needle, and both needles were tied for the lowest fracture resistance. No needle fractured when bent to 30° or at less than three bends to 60° or 90°. Conclusions: Greater needle resistance to bending increases the probability of early fracturing. Thinner and shorter needles are more resistant than longer and thicker needles. Performing a single bend does not result in any significant risk of fracture or obliterate the lumen, allowing for the continued passage of anesthetic liquid.

This paper summarizes results of a comprehensive analytical study aimed at evaluating the influence of strong ground motion duration on residual displacement demands of single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) and multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems. For that purpose, two sets of 20 earthquake ground motions representative of short-duration and long-duration records were considered in this investigation. While the influence of strong ground motion duration was evaluated through constant-strength residual displacement ratios, $C_r$, computed from the nonlinear response of elastoplastic SDOF systems, its effect on the amplitude and height-wise distribution of residual drift demands in MDOF systems was studied from the response of three one-bay two-dimensional generic frame models. In this investigation, an inelastic ground motion intensity measure was employed to scale each record, which allowed reducing the record-to-record variability in the estimation of residual drift demands. From the results obtained in this study, it was found that long strong-motion duration records might trigger larger median $C_r$ ratios for SDOF systems having short-to-medium period of vibration than short strong-motion duration records. However, taking into account the large record-to-record variability of $C_r$, it was found that strong motion duration might not be statistically significant for most of the combinations of period of vibration and levels of lateral strength considered in this study. In addition, strong motion duration does not have a significant influence on the amplitude of peak residual drift demands in MDOF systems, but records having long strong-motion duration tend to increase residual drift demands in the upper stories of long-period generic frames.

Inhibition of flowering in Lemna perpusilla 6746 by 30 mM sucrose was reversed by the addition of acetylcholine (>$10^{-4}M) supplemented with 10^{-4}M$ ascorbic acid to 1/10-strength Hunter's growth medium. The reversible effect of acetylcholine was found to be greater at early stages of flowering than in the later period. Promotive effects of both acetylcholine ($10^{-3}M) and eserine(10^{-5}M$) on flowering in the short-day plant under various photoperiodic conditions were studied. It was indicated that the application decreased length of the critical dark period for the floral induction, and it was also shown that the endogenous status of acetylcholine was involved in the floral response which had a correlation with phytochrome. Interruption of inductive dark periods by red irradiation (1min) immediately followed by far-red light (1 min) completely inhibited flowering, while the addition of acetylcholine and eserine to the medium under the same condition slightly promoted flowering, indicating possible involvement of phytochrome system in acetylcholine activity for photoperiodic sensitivity of floral response in Lemna perpusilla 6746.

Both tensile and tear properties of short-fiber reinforced Chloroprene rubber have been studied as functions of the fiber aspect ratio and fiber content. Both properties increased when both the fiber aspect ratio and fiber content were increased. The fiber reinforced rubbers exhibited maximum values of these properties at a fiber aspect ratio of about 300. When the fiber aspect ratio exceeds 400, the mechanical properties decreased with the fiber content because of the non-uniform dispersion of fibers. The tensile modulus was compared with the prediction by the Halpin-Tsai equations for randomly oriented cases. A bonding agent was used in the fiber treating process. It was found that the ultimate tensile strength, torque, tearing energy and tensile modulus of the rubbers with treated fibers were much higher than those with untreated ones.

The structural designs of RC flat plates that have no flexural stiffness by boundary beams may be governed not by strength conditions but by serviceabilities. Specially, since over-loading and tensile cracking in early-aged slabs significantly increase the short- and long-term deflections of a flat plate system, a construction sequence and its impact on the slab deflections may be decisive factors in designs of flat plate systems. In this study, the procedure of simulating slab deflections with considering construction sequences, concrete cracking, and long-term effects is proposed. The proposed method is practically useful, as it can predict well the slab deflections at construction and service stages only with a few input data. The proposed method is verified by comparisons with measured results in a real-scale test.
