본 연구는 진단용 X선 에너지 영역에서 고순도의 납 0.5mm 와 실리콘(Si)과 이산화티탄($TiO_2$)을 이용한 X선 융합차폐체의 선량을 측정하고 차폐율을 비교 측정하였다. 실험을 위하여 실리콘(Si)과 이산화티탄($TiO_2$)을 혼합하여 1 mm 두께의 패드형 차폐체를 제작하고, 차폐체의 두께를 1mm 씩 증가시키며 X선을 조사하여 0 mR이 될 때까지 선량을 측정하였다. KS A 4025의 권고에 따라 X선 조사조건은 각각 60 kVp 20 mAs, 100 kVp 20 mAs로 하였으며, 두 개의 관전압 조건에서 차폐체가 없을 경우의 조사선량을 기준으로 차폐체가 있을 경우의 선량과 비교하여 차폐율을 구하였다. 두께 0.5 mm 납판 차폐체의 차폐율은 60 kVp에서 95.92%, 100 kVp에서 85.26%로 측정되었고, 실리콘(Si)과 이산화티탄($TiO_2$)패드 차폐체를 적용하였을 경우 60 kVp, 20 mAs 조건에서 두께가 11 mm 이상일 때 10회 조사 평균선량은 1.77 mR, 차폐율은 납판 0.5 mm 차폐체와 등가의 차폐율을 나타내었으며, 13 mm에서 측정선량이 0 mR이 되었다. 100 kVp, 20 mAs 조건에서는 17 mm 두께에서 납 0.5 mm 차폐체와 등가 이상의 차폐율이 관찰 되었고 23 mm 두께에서 100% 의 차폐율을 관찰할 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 실리콘-이산화티탄 화합물은 실리콘의 물성이 그대로 존재하면서 금속화합물과 융합할 수 있다는 결과를 얻었으며, 이후 방사선 흡수가 더 뛰어난 금속화합물등과 혼합할 경우 납의 위해성을 포함하지 않으며, 재료와 가공성에서 경제적이며, 실리콘의 강점을 살려 탄성과 유연성이 뛰어난 저선량용 방사선 차폐재의 제작 가능성을 확인해 볼 수 있었다.

This study conducted basic studies to develop electromagnetic wave shielding maternity wear. We investigated electromagnetic wave shielding fabrics and products as well as surveyed actual wearing states for pregnant women aged 35 to 44 and women who gave birth within the past one year. Available electromagnetic wave blocking products for pregnant women were blankets, aprons, maternity belts, and underwear. These only cover the abdomen and it was hard to find out electromagnetic waves shielding maternity wear, which can enhance functionality and complement the body shapes of pregnant women. The aged mother responded pregnancy delay was mostly attributable to late marriage, career, financial difficulty and health problems. Major health threats to babies were high stress levels during pregnancy, followed by electromagnetic waves from electronic devices. They prioritized physical activity, design, functionality and safety when wearing maternity wear. When purchasing maternity wear, they emphasized design, price, materials and size. The most preferred clothing was one-piece dress; consequently, only 11.1% of them were satisfied with the quality of maternity wear with complaints mostly about design and price. A total of 63% of respondents tried to protect themselves from electromagnetic waves. Most aged mothers showed a positive intention on purchasing electromagnetic waves blocking maternity wear for babies with concerns dealing with safety of materials, prices, ease of laundry, and body complementing design.

Since the introduction of shoulder arthroplasty by Neer in 1974, the design of not only the glenoid component but also the humeral component used in shoulder arthroplasty has continually evolved. Changes to the design of the humeral component include a gradually disappearing proximal fin; diversified surface finishes (such as smooth, grit-blasted, and porous coating); a more contoured stem from the originally straight and cylindrical shape; and the use of press-fit uncemented fixation as opposed to cemented fixation. Despite the evolution of the humeral component for shoulder arthroplasty, however, stem-related complications are not uncommon. Examples of stem-related complications include intraoperative humeral fractures, stem loosening, periprosthetic fractures, and stress shielding. These become much more common in revision arthroplasty, where patients are associated with further complications such as surgical difficulty in extracting the humeral component, proximal metaphyseal bone loss due to stress shielding, intraoperative humeral shaft fractures, and incomplete cement removal. Physicians have made many attempts to reduce these complications by shortening the stem of the humeral component. In this review, we will discuss some of the limitations of long-stem humeral components, the feasibility of replacing them with short-stem humeral components, and the clinical outcomes associated with short-stemmed humeral components in shoulder arthroplasty.

The present status of the thennomechanica1 evaluation of functionally gradient materials(FGMs) for space plane application was reviewed, in which research activities and the cooperation of the national project team organized to study FGM science were demonstrated. The project team was divided into three working groups; de singing, processing and evaluation, each of which had their own tasks in the project cooperation. The testings details of the various thennomechanical tests for the FGM samples fabricated by the processing groups were described, along with their corresponding heating conditions of the real environments in the space plane application. For small-sized samples, laser beam heating test and burner heating test were well applied to study the heat shielding and heat resisting properties. Arc-heated wind tunnel test and high temperature!high velocity gas flow test were used for large-sized panel assemblies having cooling structures. The criteria for the evaluation of the heat shielding and heat resisting properties of the FGMs, as well as a crack activation mechanism in their differential temperature heating, were proposed on the basis of the observation in the burner heating test.

The purpose of this study is to develop a zirconium-based alloy with low modulus and magnetic susceptibility to prevent the stress-shielding effect and the generation of artifacts. Zr-7Cu-xSn (x = 1, 5, 10, 15 mass%) alloys are prepared by an arc melting process. Microstructure characterization is performed by microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Mechanical properties are evaluated using micro Vickers hardness and compression test. The magnetic susceptibility is evaluated using a SQUID-VSM. The average magnetic susceptibility value of the Zr-7Cu-xSn alloy is 1.176 × 10^-8 cm³g^-1. Corrosion tests of zirconium-based alloys are conducted through polarization test. The average Icorr value of the Zr-7Cu-xSn alloy is 0.1912 ㎂/cm². The elastic modulus value of 14 ~ 18 GPa of the zirconium-based alloy is very similar to the elastic modulus value of 15 ~ 30 GPa of the human bone. Consequently, the Sn added zirconium alloy, Zr-7Cu-xSn, is very interesting and attractive as a biomaterial that reduces the stress-shielding effect caused by differences of elastic modulus between human bone and metallic implants. In addition, this material has the potential to be used in metallic dental implants to effectively eliminate artifacts in MRI images due to low magnetic susceptibility.

The metallic implant materials are widely used in biomedical industries due to their specific mechanical strenth, corrosion registance, and superior biocompatability. These metallic materials, however, suffer from the stress-shielding effect and the generation of artifacts in the magnetic resonance imaging exam. In the present study, we develope a Zr-based alloys for the biomedical implant materials with low elastic modulus and low magnetic susceptibility. The Zr-7Si-xSn alloys were fabricated by an arc melting process. The elastic modulus was 24~31 GPa of the zirconium-based alloy. The average magnetic susceptibility value of the Zr-7Si-xSn alloy was 1.25 × 10^-8cm³g^-1. The average I_corr value of the Zr-7Si-xSn alloy was 0.2 ㎂/cm². The Sn added zirconium alloy, Zr-7Si-xSn, is very interested and attractive as a biomaterial that reduces the stress-shielding effect caused by the difference of elastic modulus between human bone and metallic implant.

The paper deals with the interaction between three Griffith cracks propagating under antiplane shear stress at the interface of two dissimilar infinite elastic half-spaces. The Fourier transform technique is used to reduce the elastodynamic problem to the solution of a set of integral equations which has been solved by using the finite Hilbert transform technique and Cooke’s result. The analytical expressions for the stress intensity factors at the crack tips are obtained. Numerical values of the interaction efect have been computed for and results show that interaction effects are either shielding or amplification depending on the location of each crack with respect to other and crack tip spacing.

Conventional compression bone fracture plates sometimes cause osteoporosis under the plate due to their high rigidity which in turn transfer physiological load mostly through the plates and screws. In order to prevent the osteopenia we have designed a system which have a viscoelastic washer between plate and screw head. The washer is made of a biocompatible ploymer (untra high molecular weight polyethylene, UHMWPE). Three-dimensional finite element meshes of the human femur with the conventional and new concept bone plate ere generated and the comparative stress analyses are performed with static half-stance loading condition. The results of analyses showed that could reduce the stress shielding effect compared with the conventional plate.

This study investigated the relationships between the microstructure and the wear resistance of hardfaced iron/chromium alloys to examine the low stress abrasive wear mechanism. The effects of volume fraction of reinforcing phases(chromium carbide and eutectic phase) were studied. The alloys were deposited once or twice on a mild steel plate using a self-shielding flux cored arc welding process. The low stress abrasion resistance of he alloys against dry sands was measured by the Dry Sand/Ruber Wheel Abrasion Tester (RWAT). The wear resistance of hypoeutectic alloys, below 0.36 volume fraction of chromium-carbide phase (VFC), behaved as Equal Pressure Mode (EPM) for the inverse rule of mixture whereas the wear resistance of hypereutectic alloys, above 0.36 VFC, represented Equal Wear Mode (EWM) for the linear rule of mixture.

본 논문에서는 척추체 간 유합용 케이지의 응력방패현상을 감소시키기 위하여 강성 차이에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 최근 의료 임플란트 분야에서는 탄소섬유강화 폴리머를 이용하여 좋은 결과를 보여 왔다. 그러나 생체 역학적으로 이 재료에 대하여 요추체의 안정성과 골 이식재가 받는 응력에 관련한 연구는 없었다. 따라서 이전에 유효화한 요추체 (L2-L5) 비선형 유한 요소 모델을 이용하여 L4-L5 분절의 케이지의 강성 차이에 따른 효과를 알아보기 위하여 탄소섬유강화 폴리머와 티타늄 케이지를 이용한 후방 요추체 유합 모델을 만들었다. 자가골 보다 강성이 작은 탄소 섬유강화폴리머 케이지는 인접 분절의 하종판에 응력이 적게 걸리며, 골 이식재에 응력은 증가시켰다. 위의 결과로 탄소섬유강화 폴리머 케이지는 응력 방패 현상을 감소시킬 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 골 유합률을 증가시킬 수 있다.
