연구목적: 본 연구의 목적은 열연화주입형 gutta percha와 resilon의 온도 변화에 따른 점탄성 변화를 관찰하고 조작성을 비교하기 위함이다. 연구 재료 및 방법: Obtura-II 시스템을 이용하여 세 종류의 gutta percha와 resilon을 $140^{\circ}C$와 $200^{\circ}C$로 가열한 후 사출 온도를 측정하였다. 점도계를 이용하여 온도 변화에 따른 재료들의 점탄성 특성(전단탄성계수, G'; 전단점성계수, G"; 손실 탄젠트, tan${\delta}$; 복소점도, ${\eta}^*$)을 관찰하였다. 점도계와 차동주사열측정기(DSC)로 재료들의 상전이 온도를 측정하였고 가압법으로 $60^{\circ}C$와 $40^{\circ}C$에서 재료들의 점조도를 비교하였다. 결과: 세 종의 gutta perchas는 온도에 따라 서로 다른 점탄성 특성을 나타냈다. $40-50^{\circ}C$에서 연화된 재료의 고체화 상변이가 일어났고, 점도계와 DSC로 측정된 상변이 시작 온도는 유사하였다. 상변이 시작 온도와 가압 시 점조도는 재료들마다 차이를 보였다(p < 0.05). Resilon은 gutta percha와 비슷한 유변학적 특성을 보였다. 결론: 열연화된 근관충전재는 냉각과정 동안 유변학적 특성의 변화를 나타냈고 재료들마다 서로 다른 점탄성 특성은 근관 내주입 시와 충전 시 서로 다른 조작성을 보임을 알 수 있다.

In this study, modeling methods for viscoelastic material are reviewed to investigate the vibration characteristics. Frequency response functions are obtained by employing experimental modal analysis and compared with the modeling results from a commercial software NASTRAN. Properties of equivalent model of the beam with damping material are also calculated by using the RKU equation.

Stress relaxation experiments were performed to obtain the material properties to be used in the linear viscoelastic study. Master curve of the modulus of polystyrene were obtained by using the time-temperature superposition principle. Because Shyu and Tobolsky's tensile relaxation modulus master curve or Polystyrene material showed very large difference, in-house data were required to calculate the residual stresses in injection-molded products more accurately. Our own experimental data showed that the master curve Shyu's data should be shifted about two orders in material time coordinate.

Geomaterials such as soil and rock are composed of discrete elements of microstructures with different grains and microcracks. The studies of these microstructures are of increasing interest in geophysics and geotechnical engineering relating to underground space development We first show experimental results undertaken for direct observation of microcrack initiation and propagation by using a newly developed experimental system, and next a homogenization method for treating a viscoelastic behavior of a polycrystalline rock.

Vehicle vibrations arise from engine and road surface excitations. The engine mount system of a passenger car sustains the engine weight and insulates the excitation force from the engine system. The dynamic properties of viscoelastic material used for the vehicle engine mounts have large variation due to environmental factors such as environmental temperature and humidity etc. The present study aims to investigate the variability of dynamic characteristics in rubber engine mounts considering both environmental temperature change and material model errors/uncertainty. The engine mounts for a passenger car were modeled using finite element method. Then, the dynamic stiffness variability of the engine mounts were estimated using Monte Carlo simulation method. In order to estimate the variations in the storage and loss moduli of the viscoelastic materials, the material properties of the synthetic rubber were expressed as a fractional-derivative model. Next, in order to simulate the uncertainty propagation of the dynamic stiffness for the engine mounts due to the storage and loss moduli variations, the Monte Carlo simulation was used. The Monte Carlo simulation results showed large variation of the engine-mount stiffness along frequency axis.

The purpose of this study was to quantify the clinical assessment of rigidity at wrist in patients with Parkinson's disease. The experimental system was designed that the effect of gravity was negated by restricting motion at the horizontal plane and inertia was predetermined from a biomechanical measurement. Forty five patients with Parkinson's disease participated in this study. Viscoelastic properties were calculated from the experimental data acquired during intermittent passive movement of wrist. Viscoelastic constants correlated well with the rigidity scores of UPDRS, i.e., Spearman's r=0.733 and 0.905 for spring and damping constants, respectively. The results suggest that viscoelastic properties can be used as quantitative measures of rigidity.

An ACR/HMMM film was prepared by blending high-solid ACR with curing agent, hexamethoxymethyl melamine (HMMM). An active curing reaction was observed at $170^{\circ}C$. The dynamic viscoelastic $T_{g}$ of the final film increased with the static viscoelastic $T_{g}$ of the film. The log damp value, which means a viscoelastic ratio, decreased with the increase in the curing temperature of the film. Physical properties of the films were within a suitable range for films, and by an accelerated weathering resistance test the films were proved weather resistible ones.

Synergistic interactions between xanthan (X) and carob (C) were investigated by studying the linear viscoelastic behavior of X, C, and X/C mixtures at sol and gel states. At the solution state, storage modulus (G') dominates the linear viscoelastic properties of X/C mixtures. The gelation temperature (52 to $57^{\circ}C$) was weakly dependent on the xanthan fraction (${\phi}x$) in the mixture. The ${\phi}x$ also had a strong effect on G' until ${\phi}x=0.5$. The elastic active network concentration (EANC) of X/C gels was estimated from the pseudo-equilibrium modulus. The EANC for systems with ${\phi}x=0.25$, 0.5, 0.75, and 1 at 1% total concentration was 2.3, 4.4, 4.1, and 0.32 (${\times}10^{-3}\;mol/m^3$), respectively. The maximum synergistic effect was observed at about ${\phi}x=0.5$. The G' at the transition state of X/C mixed gel was proportional to ${\omega}^{3/2}$ at ${\omega}$>${\omega}_{tr}$ (the onset transition frequency) compared to the theoretical limit of ${\omega}^{1/2}$.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) has been found to be effective treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD). This study aims to evaluate the effect of DBS for rigidity during DBS surgery. Six Parkinsonian patients who received STN-DBS surgery participated in this study. The examiner imposed flexion and extension of a patient's wrist randomly. Resistance to passive movement was quantified by viscoelastic properties (two damping constants for each of flexion and extension phase and one spring constant throughout both phases). All Viscoelastic constants decreased by DBS (p<0.01). Specifically, reduction in damping constant during flexion ($B_f$) was greater than those of damping constant during extension ($B_e$) and of spring constant (p<0.05). $B_f$ would be appropriate for evaluation of effect of DBS for rigidity during DBS surgery.

본 연구의 주목적은 에너지 비율 인자와 위상각을 이용한 연성포장의 피로예측 모델을 개발하는 것이다. 본 연구에서 도입된 에너지 비율 인자와 위상각은 점탄성 재료의 기본적인 성질을 반영하기 위하여 사용되었다. 에너지 비율 인자는 가상 방출 에너지와 시험 중 파괴시 까지의 누적 방출 에너지의 비로 정의된다. 위상각은 아스팔트 혼합물의 응력과 변형률의 차이로부터 발생한다. 아스팔트 콘크리트 혼합물의 실험결과를 이용하여 위상각이 측정 되었으며 초기 stiffness와 초기 위상각의 관계가 제시 되었다. 본 연구 결과 아스팔트 콘크리트 혼합물의 점탄성 재료라는 고유한 성질을 반영할 수 있는 에너지 비율 인자와 위상각을 활용한 연성포장용 피로 예측 모델이 제안되었다.
