Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare straight and tapered implant designs in terms of marginal bone loss, the modified plaque index (mPI), and the modified bleeding index (mBI) for 5 years after functional loading. Methods: Twelve patients were recruited. Two types of implants were placed adjacent to each other: 1 straight implant and 1 tapered implant. Marginal bone loss, mPI, and mBI were measured every year for 5 years after loading. Results: The straight implants showed 0.2±0.4 mm of marginal bone loss at 5 years after loading, while the tapered implants showed 0.2±0.3 mm of marginal bone loss; this difference was not statistically significant (P=0.833). Our analysis also showed no statistically significant differences in mPI (straight implants: 0.3±0.3 vs. tapered implants: 0.2±0.3; P=0.414) or in mBI (straight implants: 0.3±0.4 vs. tapered implants: 0.2±0.3; P=0.317) at 5 years after prosthesis delivery. Conclusions: Straight and tapered implants showed no significant differences with respect to marginal bone loss, mPI, and mBI for 5 years after loading.

본 연구에서는 등가변형을 이용하며 테이퍼 말뚝의 지지력을 산정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 지반조건과 테이퍼각도를 고려하여 지지력을 산정하던 기존의 방법과 달리, 테이퍼말뚝의 지지력산정시 콘관입시험 결과를 활용하도록 하였다. 이때 테이퍼말뚝은 등가변형을 이용하여 형태를 단순화 시켰으며 이를 통해 실무에서 비교적 쉽게 지지력을 산정 할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법의 검증을 위해 실내시험과 현장시험을 실시하였다. 실내모형시험 결과로부터 측정된 극한지지력과 본 연구에서 제안된 방법에 의한 예측값을 비교한 결과 표준편차는 $0.05{\sim}0.121$, COV는 $0.04{\sim}0.05$의 값을 보여 대체적으로 유사한 결과를 보였으며, 현장시험은 약 2.5%의 오차를 보여 측정값에 근접함을 알 수 있었다. 그 결과 제안된 지지력 산정법은 테이퍼말뚝의 지지력을 비교적 정확하게 예측하는 것으로 나타났다.

본 논문에서는 여러 종류의 부채꼴 구조를 조합한 슬롯을 이용한 소형 광대역 테이퍼드 슬롯 안테나 설계에 대하여 연구하였다. 테이퍼드 슬롯 안테나를 소형화하고 낮은 주파수에서 동작하도록 하기 위하여 접지면에 부채꼴 구조를 조합한 슬롯을 추가하였다. 각 부채꼴 구조가 추가될 때 입력 반사 계수와 이득 변화를 슬롯이 없을 때와 비교하여 최종 제안된 안테나의 소형화 설계 과정을 체계적으로 설명하였다. 제안된 부채꼴 구조를 조합한 슬롯을 이용한 소형 광대역 테이퍼드 슬롯 안테나를 RF-35 기판 상에 제작하여 특성을 시뮬레이션 결과와 비교하였다. 실험 결과, 전압 정재파비(VSWR; voltage standing wave ratio)가 2 이하인 대역은 2.59-11.39 GHz이고, 대역내에서 이득이 3.3- 7.0 dBi로 측정되었다. 제안된 소형광대역 테이퍼드 슬롯 안테나는 접지면에 슬롯이 없을 때와 비교하여 크기를 36.9% 소형화할 수 있다.

A bearing is a mechanical component that transmits rotation and supports loads. According to the type of rotating mechanism, bearings are categorized into ball bearings and tapered roller bearings. Tapered roller bearings have higher load-bearing capabilities than ball bearings. They are used in applications where high loads need to be supported, such as wheel bearings for commercial vehicles and trucks, aircraft and high-speed trains, and heavy-duty spindles for heavy machinery. In recent times, the demand for reducing the driving friction torque in automobiles has been increasing owing to the CO₂ emission regulations and fuel efficiency requirements. Accordingly, the research on the driving friction torque of bearings has become more essential. Researchers have conducted various studies on the lubrication, friction, and contact in tapered roller bearings. Although researchers have conducted numerous studies on the friction in the lips and on roller misalignment and skew, studies considering the influence of roller shape, specifically roller shape errors including lips, are few. This study investigates the driving friction torque of tapered roller bearings considering roller geometric uncertainties. Initially, the study calculates the driving friction torque of tapered roller bearings when subjected to axial loads and compares it with experimental results. Additionally, it performs Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate the influence of roller geometric uncertainties (i.e., the effects of roller geometric deviations) on the driving friction torque of the bearings. It then analyzes the results of these simulations.

This paper performs static and dynamic tests of a multi-leaf spring and a tapered leaf spring to investigate their hysteretic characteristics. In the static test, trapezoidal input load is applied with 0.1Hz excitation frequency and with zero initial loading conditions. In the dynamic test, sinusoidal input load is applied with five excitation amplitudes and three excitation frequencies. In these tests, static and dynamic hysteretic characteristics of the multi-leaf spring and the tapered leaf spring are compared, and, the effects of excitation amplitudes and frequencies on dynamic spring rate are also shown. In this paper, actual vehicle tests are performed to study the effects of hysteretic characteristics of the large-sized truck's handling performance. The multi-leaf spring or the tapered leaf spring is used in the front suspension. The actual vehicle test is performed in a double lane change track with three velocities. Lateral acceleration, yaw rate and roll angle are measured using a gyro-meter located at the mass center of the cab. The test results showed that a large-sized truck with a tapered leaf spring needs to have an additional apparatus such as roll stabilizer bar to increase the roll stabilizer due to hysteretic characteristics.

Numerical methods are developed for calculating the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the tapered cantilever arches with variable curvature. The differential equations governing the free vibrations of such arches are derived and solved numerically, in which the effect of rotatory inertia is included. The parabolic shape is chosen as the arch with variable curvature while both the prime and quadratic arched members are considered as the tapered arch with variable curvature while both the prime and quadratic arched members are considered as the tapered arch. Comparisons the natural jfrequencies between this study and finite element method SAP 90 seve to validate the numerical method developed herein. The lowest four natural frequencies are reported as a function of four non-dimensional system parameters. The effects of both the rotatory inertia and cross-sectional shape are reported. Also, the typical mode shapes of stress resultants as well as the displacements are reported.

To improve the performance of the bent-axis type axial piston pump driven by the tapered piston, it is necessary to know the driving characteristics and mechanism of the tapered piston and the cylinder block. Since each piston not only rotates on its axis and reciprocates in the cylinder bore, but also revolves around the axis of the driving shaft, it is difficult to analyze the driving mechanism theoretically. The theoretical mechanism for the bent-axis type axial piston pump is studied by using the geometrical method. The driving range of the tapered piston is determined by theoretical equations. The experimental results show that the cylinder block is driven by one tapered piston in a limited range and the core parameters such as driving factor of the piston and the ahead delay angle influenced performance of the bent-axis type axial piston pump.

본 논문에서는 미국 AISC-LRFD기준에서 제시하고 있는 웨브 변단면 I형 보의 탄성 좌굴강도 산정식을 고찰하였다. 미국 AISC-LRFD 기준의 기본 개념은 웨브 변단면 보를 가장 작은 단면과 동일한 크기를 가지면서 길이가 다른 등가 일정단면보로 대치하는 것이다. 또한 비지지 구간에 작용하는 응력 구배와 이웃한 보의 횡방향 구속효과를 고려하기 위하여 수정계수(B)를 적용하고 있다. AISC-LRFD 기준에 제시된 수정계수(B)와 유한요소해석결과와의 비교를 통해 본 논문에서는 수정계수(B)를 산정하기 위한 재 정의된 방법을 제안하였다.
