해면골에 대한 평가는 일반적으로 골밀도를 기준으로 평가하지만, 골밀도는 뼈의 특성을 70-80% 정도만 설명하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이에 따라 골밀도로 설명이 되지 않는 나머지 특성을 뼈 미세구조의 형태학적 특성을 이용하여 설명하려는 노력이 생체역학 분야에서 오랫동안 있어 왔다. 본 연구는 CAD/CAM 분야의 feature extraction 기술을 이러한 생체역학 분야에 접목함으로써 뼈의 미세구조 평가를 위한 새로운 형태학적 지수 개발의 가능성을 탐색하고자 한다.

In our previous work, 3-dimensional hydrodynamic focusing microfluidic device (3D-HFMD) has been developed with the help of locally increased aspect ratio of thickness to width without any horizontal separation wall. In this study, we have investigated 3-dimensional hydrodynamic focusing behaviors inside the 3D-HFMD according to the various geometric and flow conditions. The parametric study has been extensively carried out for the effects of geometric and flow conditions on 3-dimensional hydrodynamic focusing with both 3D-HFMD and previous microfluidic device design based on three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The CFD simulations suggested the proper design window of channel geometry and flow conditions.

Ion concentration polarization (ICP) is one of the essential important mechanisms for biomolecule preconcentration devices as well as a fundamental transport phenomenon found in electrodialysis, electrochemical cell, etc. The ICP triggered by externally applied voltage enables the biomolecular analyte to be preconcentrated at an arbitrary position by a locally amplified electric field inside the microchannel. Conventional preconcentration methodologies using the ICP have two limitations: uncertain equilibrium position and hydrodynamic instability of preconcentration plug. In this work, a new preconcentration method in the dead-end microchannel around cation exchange membrane was numerically studied to resolve the limitations. As a result, the numerical model showed that the analyte was concentrated at a shock front developed in a geometrically confined dead-end channel. Furthermore, the electrokinetic behaviors for preconcentration dynamics were analyzed by changing microchannel's applied voltage and volumetric charge concentration of microchannel as key parameters to describe the dynamics. This work would provide an effective means for a point-of-care platform that requires ultra-fast preconcentration method.

An approach to understand the phase distribution in a multi-phase polycrystalline material is important since it can affect material properties and mechanical behaviors. A proper method is needed to describe the phase distribution. For this purpose, contiguity and probability functions(two-point correlation and lineal-path functions) are investigated for representing the phase distributions of microstructures. The mechanical behaviors are evaluated using the finite element method. The characteristics of probability functions and mechanical reponses of virtual samples are represented. It is confirmed that the topology of phase clustering affects the mechanical behavior of materials and that the strength is reduced as the clustering size increases.

In this paper, microchannels for the flow control of two fluids with different volumes have been designed, fabricated, and verified. The dimensions of the inlets were determined based on the Stokes equation in order to realize that the flow of the two fluids meet at the same time, and to maintain a certain configuration when the flows passed through each inlet channel. The designed microchannels were confirmed using computational fluid dynamics simulation for the incompressible, Newtonian, and transient flows. In addition, a microfluidic system containing the designed microchannels was fabricated by soft lithography, and the pressure-driven flows of the two fluids were characterized by microfluidic experiments.
