This paper investigated the vibration analysis fer the Euler-Bernoulli complete and truncate wedge beams by Differential Transformation Method(DTM). The governing differential equation of the Euler-Bernoulli complete and truncate wedge beams with regular singularity is derived and verified. The concepts of DTM were briefly introduced. Numerical calculations are carried out and compared with previous published results. The usefulness and the application of DTM are discussed.

Hot cross wedge rolling process as an incremental forming has many advantages such as the material usage, the short process time, the automatic equipment line and the low forming load. However, it occurs some defects such as the surface groove, the axis warping and the Mannesmann hole. In this paper, the defect of the Mannesmann hole was carried out. Finite element analysis was utilized to reveal the stress distribution, the rotation of the specimen and the change of section profile. Cross wedge rolling experiment was also conducted on the generation of the Mannesmann hole. It was demonstrated according to the spreading angle with respect to the various types of material. In the view point of metal flow, the smaller forming angle and the larger spreading angle increase opportunities of the defect hole generations.

Let A be a finite set of integers. For any integer $h{\geq}1$, let h-fold sumset hA be the set of all sums of h elements of A and let h-fold restricted sumset $h^{\wedge}A$ be the set of all sums of h distinct elements of A. In this paper, we give a survey of problems and results on sumsets and restricted sumsets of a finite integer set. In details, we give the best lower bound for the cardinality of restricted sumsets $2^{\wedge}A$ and $3^{\wedge}A$ and also discuss the cardinality of restricted sumset $h^{\wedge}A$.

When a rigid wedge is indented in to a semi-infinite block, the material is bulged up around the wedge that is generally called lip. The previous works in this filed considered the outer profile of the lip to be linear. But, present authors observed both experimentally and with the aid of finite element analysis that the profile of the lip is not always linear, and it depends on the angle of the wedge and friction parameters. So, in this work, attempts have been made to calculate hardness of indentation for different wedge angles and friction parameters. As hardness is intrinsic property of material, consideration of either linear or parabolic lip will not be affected much. A comparative study of hardness for linear and parabolic free surface profiles of the piled up material around the cone is analyzed in this work.

Predicting fracture properties requires an understanding of structural failure behaviour in relation to specimen type, dimension, and notch length. Facture properties are evaluated using various testing methods, wedge splitting test being one of them. The wedge splitting test was numerically modelled three dimensionally using the finite element method on self compacting concrete specimens with varied specimen and notch depths in the current work. The load - Crack mouth opening displacement curves and the angle of rotation with respect to notch opening till failure are used to assess the fracture properties. Furthermore, based on the simulation results, failure curve was built to forecast the fracture behaviour of self-compacting concrete. The fracture failure curve revealed that the failure was quasi-brittle in character, conforming to non-linear elastic properties for all specimen depth and notch depth combinations.

Objective: Generally, it is known that there is a correlation between excessive calcaneus eversion and a patient with low back pain and it also affects pelvic alignment. However, there are not enough studies that show calcaneal eversion having an effect on the alignment of the trunk. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: A 3-dimensional motion analysis system was used to assess the lower limbs, pelvic alignment, and trunk alignment with increased unilateral and bilateral calcaneal eversion in twenty-one subjects. All subjects were asked to maintain a static posture for seven seconds on a wedge three times per posture for measurement and analysis purposes. The wedge used in the process was a lateral wedge with a 10-degree tilt to the lateral direction. To unify all of the subjects' foot position, the front and inner side of the wedge were marked. The height of the tilted wedge's inner side and flat wedge were balanced equally in order to be able to maintain the lateral part of the foot to the same height when producing an increased calcaneal eversion. Results: Comparing the changes in trunk and pelvic alignment in accordance to calcaneal eversion for each posture, there was a significant different in the X and Y-axis for each posture, but not in the Z-axis (p<0.05). Thus, it can be confirmed that calcaneal eversion in the sagittal plane and frontal plane may have and effect on the pelvis and the trunk. Conclusions: Postures with increased bilateral and unilateral calcaneal eversion has an effect on pelvic alignment, but does not cause any changes in trunk alignment.

준소조사면을 대상으로 한 측정자료로부터 콜리메이터에의한 산란영향과 웨지(wedge) 사용에 따른 부가적 효과를 알아보았다. 6MV 의료용 선형가속기에서 발생된 방사선속의 중심축에서 공기중과 폴리스틸렌 팬톰, 물에대해 점리함 및 반도체검출기를 이용한 측정으로 헤드산란(위ㆍ아래 콜리메이터)의 방사선 기원과 그 크기를 결정하였다. 편평화 필터에서 형성된 산란이 대부분 윗 콜라메이터 조절에 의한 영향이 가장 크게 미침을 알수 있었다. 준소조사면에서 웨지인자(wedge factor)의 깊이에대한 영향은 웨지 각이 클수록 많은 경향을 보였고 조사변에대한 영향은 0.28%였다. 임상적으로 10 $\times$10$\textrm{cm}^2$ 이하의 준소조사면과 wedge가 부가적으로 사용되는 10cm 깊이 이하의 조사면 변화에대한 관심으로 헤드산란 및 워지에의한 영향을 확인함으로서보다 적합한 선량계산을 도모하고자 하였다.

Objective : Lumbar lordotic curve on L4 to S1 level is important in maintaining spinal sagittal alignment. Although there has been no definite report in lordotic value, loss of lumbar lordotic curve may lead to pathologic change especially in degenerative lumbar disease. This study examines the changes of lumbar lordotic curve after posterior lumbar interbody fusion with wedge shape cage. Methods : We studied 45patients who had undergone posterior lumbar interbody fusion with wedge shape cage and screw fixation due to degenerative lumbar disease. Preoperative and postoperative lateral radiographs were taken and one independent observer measured the change of lordotic curve and height of intervertebral space where cages were placed. Segmental lordotic curve angle was measured by Cobb method. Height of intervertebral space was measured by averaging the sum of anterior, posterior, and midpoint interbody distance. Clinical outcome was assessed on Prolo scale at 1month of postoperative period. Results : Nineteen paired wedge shape cages were placed on L4-5 level and 6 paired same cages were inserted on L5-S1 level. Among them, 18patients showed increased segmental lordotic curve angle. Mean increased segmental lordotic curve angle after placing the wedge shape cages was $1.96^{\circ}$. Mean increased disc height was 3.21mm. No cases showed retropulsion of cage. The clinical success rate on Prolo's scale was 92.0%. Conclusion : Posterior lumbar interbody fusion with wedge shape cage provides increased lordotic curve, increased height of intervertebral space, and satisfactory clinical outcome in a short-term period.

본 연구는 30명의 여성에게 내 외측 wedge 삽입과 함께 flated heel 또는 5cm heel을 착용하도록 한 후, 넙다리네갈래근 중 안쪽빗넓은근(VMO)과 가쪽넓은근(VL)의 근활성도를 측정하여 비교하였다. 연구 결과 내외측 wedge 모두에서 flated heel 군에서는 가쪽넓은근이, 5 cm heel 군에서는 안쪽빗넓은근의 근활성도가 높게 나타났으며 가쪽넓은근에 대한 안쪽빗넓은근의 근활성도비(% VMO/VL) 또한 5cm heel 군에서 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 이는 안쪽빗넓은근과 가쪽넓은근의 근활성도에 영향을 미치는 외적 변수가 wedge의 내외측 위치보다는 힐의 높이에 의함을 알 수 있었다. 차후 무릎통증이나 무릎 불안정성으로 인한 하지 재활훈련 또는 하지보조기 제작 시에 하지 근육의 선택적 활성화를 유도하기 위한 변수로써 heel 높이를 고려할 수 있을 것이다.
