In this study, we developed a method to predict the residual stress distribution and thermal deformation caused by in-mold labeling (IML) processes. IML is one of the injection molding processes for injecting a material into a cavity and subsequently inserting a decorated film. The IML process can yield products with decorations of outstanding excellent quality in only one working step. Although the IML process has various advantages, it causes defects such as film delamination, wash-out, and flow marks. In particular, deformation is considered to be a major concern in terms of delamination. To validate the model, the deformation predicted by using a numerical model was compared with experimental results, and both results showed good agreement. We verified that the developed method can be used to obtain the design guidelines for preventing delamination in the initial design stage of the IML process.

Carbon fiber-reinforced plastic, well known high specific strength and high specific stiffness, have been widely used in the aircraft industry. Mostly the CFRP structure is fabricated by lamination of carbon fiber or carbon prepreg, which has major disadvantage called delamination. Delamination is usually produced due to absence of the through-thickness direction fiber. In this study, three-dimensional carbon preform woven in three directions is used for fabrication of aircraft wing unit structure, a part of repeated structure in aircraft wing. The unit structure include skin, stringer and rib were prepared by resin transfer molding method. After, the 3D structure was compared with laminate structure through compression test. The results show that 3D structure is not only effective to prevent delamination but improved the mechanical strength. Therefore, the 3d preform structure is expected to be used in various fields requiring delamination prevention, especially in the aircraft industry.

Purpose: Endoscopic incision and submucosal dissection (EISD) is a technique that is being implemented for the resection of gastric adenomas and early gastric cancer (EGC). Since EISD requires a high degree of skill and experience, and due to its association with a moderate risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, its use has been limited. The objective of this study is to investigate the clinical benefits of EISD based upon clinical data on the EISD procedure. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted at Soonchunhyang University Hospital and it included 179 gastric adenoma and early gastric carcinoma lesions from 164 patients who had undergone an EISD from February 2003 to May 2005. Results: Among the total of 179 lesions, the distributions of EGC and adenomas were 70.3% (126/179) and 23.4% (42/179) respectively. The sizes of lesions were divided into 10 mm or less, $11{\sim}20\;mm,\;21{\sim}30\;mm$ and greater than 31 mm and each rates are 10.0% (18/179), 46.3% (83/179), 30% (50/179) and 15.0% (28/179). Among 120 cases which could be measured depth of lesion in according to pathologic findings, m1 (0.8%, 1/120), m2 (38.3%, 46/120), m3 (25%, 57/120), sm1 (11.7%, 14/120), sm2 (1.6%, 2/120) were diagnosed as early stages of gastric cancer. The complete resection rate was 85.2% (150/176) and en-bloc resection rate was 96.0% (169/176). Complications as such as perforation and bleeding developed in 4.4%(8/179) and 21.2% (38/179), respectively. Conclusion: EISD is an effective in the endoscopic treatment for gastric adenoma and early gastric cancers. However, further evaluation of this method and long-term follow-up will be necessary for an evaluation of the recurrence rate after resection of a tumor.

In diabetics, the frozen shoulder has been difficult to treat. They tend to respond poorly to manipulation. In this report we present the rationale and results of arthroscopic selective capsular release for those patients. Nine patients, who were diabetics, developed frozen shoulders which failed to respond to conservative management. They had persistent pain, stiffness, and limited function. An arthroscopic release was performed by progressively releasing the anterior structures from superior to inferior. Postoperatively physiotherapy was carried out daily to maintain the range of movement. At a follow up of 12 to 37 months the patients were assessed using the American Shoulder Society scheme. In addition, the patients were assessed preoperatively and postoperatively on four criteria: pain, external rotation, abduction and function. We found that the patients were statistically significantly improved in all four categories. Three of the nine patients had no pain, full range of motion compared with the opposite side and full function. There was one poor result of no improvement. The remaining five patients had improved but still had residual abnormalities. We consider arthroscopic release to be an effective treatment for the resistant diabetic frozen shoulder.

The effects of the coating thickness on the thermal durability and thermal stability of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) with a gradient coating thickness were investigated using a flame thermal fatigue (FTF) test and thermal shock (TS) test. The bond and topcoats were deposited on the Ni-based super-alloy (GTD-111) using an air plasma spray (APS) method with Ni-Cr based MCrAlY feedstock powder and yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), respectively. After the FTF test at 1100 ℃ for 1429 cycles, the bond coat was oxidized partially and the thermally grown oxide (TGO) layer was observed at the interface between the topcoat and bond coat. On the other hand, the interface microstructure of each part in the TBC specimen showed a good condition without cracking or delamination. As a result of the TS test at 1100 ℃, the TBC with gradient coating thickness was initially delaminated at a thin part of the coating layer after 37 cycles, and the TBC was delaminated by more than 50% after 98 cycles. The TBCs of the thin part showed more oxidation of the bond coat with the delamination of topcoat than the thick part. The thick part of the TBC thickness showed good thermal stability and oxidation resistance of the bond coat due to the increased thermal barrier effect.

다이아몬드에 버금가는 높은 경도뿐만 아니라 높은 화학적 안정성 및 열전도성 등 우수한 물리화학적 특성을 가진 입방정 질화붕소(cubic Boron Nitride)는 마찰.마모, 전자, 광학 등의 여러 분야에서의 산업적 응용이 크게 기대되는 자료이다. 특히 탄화물형성원소에 대해 안정하여 철계금속의 가공을 위한 공구재료로의 응용 또한 기대되는 재료이다. 특히 탄화물형성원소에 대해 안정하여 철계금속의 가공을 위한 공구재료로의 응용 또한 크게 기대된다. 이 때문에 각종의 PVD, CVD 공정을 이용하여 c-BN 박막의 합성에 대한 연구가 광범위하게 진행되어 많은 성공사례들이 보고되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 c-BN 박막의 유용성에도 불구하고 아직 실제적인 응용이 이루어지지 못한 것은 증착직후 급격한 박리현상을 보이는 c-BN 박막의 밀착력문제때문이다. 본 연구에서는 평행자기장을 부가한 ME-ARE(Magnetically Enhanced Activated Reactive Evaporation)법을 이용하여 c-BN 박막을 합성하고, 합성된 c-BN 박막의 밀착력에 미치는 공정인자의 영향을 규명하여, 급격한 박리현상을 보이는 c-BN 박막의 밀착력 향상을 위한 최적 공정을 도출하고자 하였다. BN 박막 합성은 전자총에 의해 증발된 보론과 (질소+아르곤) 플라즈마의 활성화반응증착(activated reactive evaporation)에 의해 이루어졌다. 기존의 ARE장치와 달리 열음극(hot cathode)과 양극(anode)사이에 평행자기장을 부여하여 플라즈마를 증대시켜 반응효율을 높혔다. 합성실험용 모재로는 p-type으로 도핑된 (100) Si웨이퍼를 30$\times$40 mm크기로 절단 후, 100%로 희석된 완충불산용액에 10분간 침적하여 표면의 산화층을 제거한후 사용하였다. c-BN 박막을 얻기 위한 주요공정변수는 기판바이어스 전압, discharge 전류, Ar/N가스유량비이었다. 증착공정 인자들을 변화시켜 다양한 조건에서 c-BN 박막의 합성하여 밀착력 변화를 조사하였다. 합성된 박막의 결정성 분석을 FTIR을 이용하였으며, Bn 박막의 상 및 미세구조관찰을 위해 투과전자현미경(TEM;Philips EM400T) 분석을 병행하였고, 박막의 기계적 물성 평가를 위해 미소경도를 측정하였다. 증착된 c-BN 박막은 3~10 GPa의 큰 잔류응력으로 인해 증착직후 급격한 박리현상을 보였다. 이의 개선을 위해 증착중 기판바이어스 제어 및 후열처리를 통해 밀착력을 수~수백배 향상시킬 수 있었다. c-BN 박막의 합성을 위해서는 증착중인 박막표면으로 큰 에너지를 갖는 이온의 충돌이 필요하기 때문에 기판 바이어스가 요구되는데, c-BN의 합성단계를 핵생성 단계와 성장 단계로 구분하여 인가한 기판바이어스를 달리하였다. 이 결과 그림 1에서 나타낸 것처럼 c-BN 박막의 핵생성에 필요한 기판바이어스의 50% 정도만을 인가하였을 때 잔류응력은 크게 경감되었으며, 밀착력이 크게 향상되었다.

Electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) for quantitative evaluation of delaminations inside of a composite material plate is described. Delaminations caused by the impact on composite materials are difficult to detect visual inspection and ultrasonic testing due to non-homeogenous structure. This paper proposes the quantitative evaluation technique of the defects made in the composite plates by impact load. Artificial defects are introduced inside of the composite plate for the development of a reliable ESPI inspection technique. Real defects produced by impact tester are inspected and compared with the results of visual inspection which shows a good agreement within 5% error.

We have experienced 25 cases of aortic aneurysm from October 1987 to January 1996. Patients ranged in age from 26yrs to 73yrs(mean age 52. Syrs). There were 13 males and 12 females. Eighteen cases were thoracic aneurysm and seven were abdom nal aneurysm. The cause of aneurysm were dissecting in 16cases aneurysms and non-dissecting in 9 cases. Risk factors of aortic aneurysm were hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, Marfan's syndrome. In thoracic aneurysm patients, 1'S cases of dissecting aneurysm underwent aneurysmectomy and replacement of vessel interposition graft with or without coronary artery implantation on the graft. 6 cases of non-dissecting aneurysm underwent operation with same policy as dissecting aneurysm. In 7 case of abdominal aneurysm,all patients underwent aneurysmectomy and graft interposition with straight i)r Y graft. Thcre were 5 postoperative death(mortality 20%). Several cases of complications were improved with proper managements. All survivors showed improvement in clinical symptom and sign and discharged without specific complications.

Nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) is a rare complication that occurs in about 0.05% of patients after openheart surgery, and NOMI refers to the mesenteric ischemia that's caused by splanchnic vasospasm without occlusion of the great intestinal vessels. In the presently reported case, NOMI developed to maintain the blood flow to the heart and brain after several minutes of a hypotensive status and the latter was caused by acute aortic dissection that complicated an aortic cannulation procedure. Unfortunately, the patient died even though the problems were diagnosed early and proper treatment was administered. Early diagnosis of NOMI by angiography and the selective infusion of vasodilators are thought to be the only way to improve survival for patients with clinically suspected NOMI.
