A volume integral equation method (VIEM) is introduced for the solution of elastostatic problems in an unbounded isotropic elastic solids containing interacting multiple anisotropic inclusions subject to remote uniaxial tension. The method is applied to two-dimensional problems involving long parallel cylindrical inclusions. A detailed analysis of stress field at the interface between the matrix and the central inclusion is carried out for square and hexagonal packing of the inclusions. Effects of the number of anisotropic inclusions and various fiber volume fractions on the stress field at the interface between the matrix and the central inclusion are also investigated in detail. The accuracy of the method is validated by solving the single inclusion problem for which solutions are available in the literature.

A volume integral equation method (VIEM) is used to calculate the plane elastostatic field in an isotropic elastic half-plane containing multiple isotropic or anisotropic inclusions subject to remote loading. A detailed analysis of stress field at the interface between the matrix and the central inclusion in the first column of square packing is carried out for different values of the distance between the center of the central inclusion in the first column of square packing of inclusions and the traction-free surface boundary in an isotropic elastic half-plane containing multiple isotropic or anisotropic inclusions. The method is shown to be very accurate and effective for investigating the local stresses in an isotropic elastic half-plane containing multiple isotropic or anisotropic inclusions.

A volume integral equation method(VIEM) is applied for the effective analysis of elastic wave scattering problems in unbounded solids containing general anisotropic inclusions. It should be noted that this newly developed numerical method does not require the Green's function for anisotropic inclusions to solve this class of problems since only the Green's function for the unbounded isotropic matrix is Involved In their formulation for the analysis. nis new method can also be applied to general two-dimensional elastodynamic problems with arbitrary shapes and number of anisotropic inclusions. Through the analysis of plane elastodynamic problems in unbounded isotropic matrix with an orthotropic inclusion, it is established that this new method is very accurate and effective for solving plane elastic problems in unbounded solids containing general anisotropic inclusions.

A volume integral equation method (VIEM) is introduced for solving the elastostatic problems related to an unbounded isotropic elastic solid; this solid is subjected to remote uniaxial tension, and it contains multiple interacting isotropic inclusions. The method is applied to two-dimensional problems involving long parallel cylindrical inclusions. A detailed analysis of the stress field at the interface between the matrix and the central inclusion is carried out; square and hexagonal packing of the inclusions are considered. The effects of the number of isotropic inclusions and different fiber volume fractions on the stress field at the interface between the matrix and the central inclusion are also investigated in detail. The accuracy and efficiency of the method are clarified by comparing the results obtained by analytical and finite element methods. The VIEM is shown to be very accurate and effective for investigating the local stresses in composites containing isotropic fibers.

A volume integral equation method (VIEM) is introduced for the solution of elastostatic problems in unbounded isotropic elastic solids containing multiple interacting isotropic or anisotropic diamond-shaped inclusions subject to remote uniaxial tension. The method is applied to two-dimensional problems involving long parallel diamond-shaped cylindrical inclusions. A detailed analysis of the stress field at the interface between the matrix and the central inclusion is carried out for square and hexagonal packing of the inclusions. The effects of the number of isotropic or anisotropic diamond-shaped inclusions and of the various fiber volume fractions for the circular inclusions circumscribing its respective diamond-shaped inclusion on the stress field at the interface between the matrix and the central inclusion are also investigated in detail. The accuracy and efficiency of the method are examined through comparison with results obtained using the finite element method.

A recently developed numerical method based on a volume integral formulation is applied to calculate the accurate stress intensity factors at the crack tips in unbounded isotropic solids in the presence of multiple anisotropic inclusions and cracks subject to external loads. In this paper, a detailed analysis of the stress intensity factors are carried out for an unbounded isotropic matrix containing an orthotropic cylindrical inclusion and a crack. The accuracy and effectiveness of the new method are examined through comparison with results obtained from analytical method and finite element method using ANSYS. It is demonstrated that this new method is very accurate and effective for solving plane elastostatic problems in unbounded solids containing anisotropic inclusions and cracks.

Calculation of elastic wave fields has important applications in a variety of engineering fields including NDE (Non-destructive evaluation). Scattering problems have been investigated by numerous authors with different solution schemes. For simple geometries of the scatterers (e.g., cylinders or spheres), the analysis of steady-state elastic wave scattering has been carried out using analytical techniques. For arbitrary geometries and multiple inclusions, numerical methods have been developed. Special finite element methods, e.g., the infinite element method and a hybrid method called the Global-Local finite element method have also been developed for this purpose. Recently, the boundary integral equation method has been used successfully to solve scattering problems. In this paper, a volume integral equation method (VIEM) is proposed as a new numerical solution scheme for the solution of general elasto-dynamic problems in unbounded solids containing multiple inclusions and voids or cracks. A boundary integral equation method (BIEM) is also presented for elastic wave scattering problems. The relative advantage of the volume and boundary integral equation methods for solving scattering problems is discussed.

미국흰불나방(Hyphontria cunea Drury) 종령유충과 나, 그리고 성충을 재료로하여 정세포가 정자로 변형되는 과정에서 나타나는 미토콘드리아의 분화과정을 전자현미경으로 관찰하였다. 다핵체를 이루고 있는 초기 정세포의 미토콘드리아는 축사가 형성되는 부위를 중심으로 집적된 후, 서로 유합되어 대형의 미토콘드리아 복합체인 부핵(Nebenkern)을 형성하였다. 부핵은 첨체형성 시기를 전후하여 세포의 장축을 따라서 길게 신장되며, 편모가 형성됨에 따라 축사를 중심으로 두께와 전자밀도가 서로 다른 두개의 미토콘드리아로 분리되었다. 분화가 계속됨에 따라서 서로 동일한 모양으로 변형된 미토콘드리아의 주변에서는 장축방향을 따라 다수의 미세소관이 분포하였고, 기질에서는 intramitochondrial crystalloid의 축적이 관찰되었다. 정자변형이 끝난 성숙정자의 미토콘드리아는 기질내부에 전자밀도가 높은 준결정물질이 함유된 미토콘드리아 유도체로 변형되었는데, 정자의 중편에서는 하나로 융합되어 있는 반면, 미부에서는 크기가 같은 두개의 유도체로 분리된 매우 독특한 형태로 관찰되었다.

생쥐 신장의 근위세뇨관과 원위세뇨관 세포의 미세구조에 미치는 염화 메틸수은의 독성에 대한 홍삼유출물의 첨독성적 영향을 전자현징경적으로 연구하였다. 염화 메틸수은 처리군의 근위세뇨관 세포에서는 대조군에서 보다 철세 융모가 다소 축소되고 불규칙한 배열을 하였다. Brush border의 인접 부위에서는 작은 경계들이 나타나고 세포질 중앙 부위에서는 치밀체를 함유한 큰 육포들이 관색되었다. Mitochondria는 상당히 팽대되고 기양막은 부분적으로 비후되었으며 다수의 ITsosome이 나타났다. 염화 메틸수은 처리군의 원위세뇨관 세롱에서는 불규칙한 세포 표면, 양사된 세포, 그리고 다수의 ribosome과 소수의 지방사이 나타났으며 mitochondria 는 팽대되고 기고막은 부분적으로 비후되었다. 염화 메틸수은-홍삼추출물 병행 처리군의 근위세뇨관 세포에서는 염화 메틸수은 처리군에서 보다 mitochondria의 팽대 정도가 감소되었으며 육포의 크기와 수도 상당히 감소되었다. 염화 메틸수은-홍모적출물 병행 처리군의 원위세뇨관 세롱에서는 세포 표면이 어느정도 규칙적이고 mitochondria의 정해와 기저막의 비후 정도가 감소되어 정상 세포와 거의 유사하였다.
