Flow-induced voids during resin impregnation and poor fiber wetting give serious effects on the mechanical properties of composites in resin transfer molding process. In order to better understand the characteristics of resin flow and to investigate the mechanism of void formation, flow visualization experiment for the resin impregnation was carried out on plain weaving glass fiber mats using silicon oils with various viscosity values. The permeability and the capillary pressure for the fiber mats of different porosities were obtained by measuring the penetration length of the resin with time and with various injection pressure. At low porosity and low operating pressure, the capillary pressure played a significant role in impregnation process. Video-assisted microscopy was used in taking the magnified photograph of the flow front of the resin to investigate the effect of the capillary pressure on the void formation. The results showed that the voids were formed easily when the capillary pressure was relatively high. No voids were detected above the critical capillary number of 2.75$\times$$10^{-3}, and below the critical number the void content increased exponentially with decrease of the capillary number. The content of void formed was independent of the viscosity of the resin. For a given capillary number, the void content reduced with the lower porosity of the fiber mat.

In this paper, after studying structural performance for the representative corrugated steel plate used in Korea, we proposed the optimum shape for section of corrugated steel plate considering a width of steel plates that can be produced currently in the factory. Using AISI(1986) in examination for the performance of the corrugated steel plate, we determined the mechanical limit of the optimum sections considering shear force and bending moment of corrugated steel plate and also determined the geometric limit of them considering formability, shapes and ratio between width of steel plate before forming and that after forming. As a result of examination for performance of steel plate applying algorithm for searching optimal sections algorithm developed in this study to the existing representative corrugated steel plate, allowable force and moment of inertia indicated the maximum values at bending radius 76mm and internal bending angle $50^{\circ}$. And as an application result of the optimum design system that used SS490 with 1,550mm of width and 4,700mm of length considering current production situation in Korea, we developed the new section with more than 2 times of structural performance comparing with existing corrugated steel plate.

Purpose : We sought to determine the early change of ventricular geometry and function after concomitant surgeries of modified Dor procedure and mitral valve annuloplasty by using magnetic resonance imaging. Materials and Methods : We enrolled 21 patients with dilated heart failure who underwent modified Dor procedure (n=8), mitral valve annuloplasty (n=6), or both surgeries (n=7). Cine MRI was used to assess left ventricular dimensions and function before and after surgery. We measured the left ventricular end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes and the dimensions of the left ventricular long-axis and short-axis. Left ventricular stroke volume, ejection fraction, and sphericity index were calculated from these measurements. These parameters were analyzed and compared between three different surgery groups to explain the combined effect of the concomitant surgeries. Results : MRI was performed within average $12\;{\pm}\;15$ days (range 1-58 days) before and $38\;{\pm}\;50$ days (range 7- 231 days) after the surgery. The patients who underwent concomitant surgeries had more profound enlargement of left ventricle and decreased contractility prior to surgery than those in the patients who underwent single surgical procedure. Left ventricular end-diastolic volume and endsystolic volume significantly decreased in all patients regardless of surgery type after surgery. Ejection fraction significantly increased only in the patients who got modified Dor procedure without mitral valve annuloplasty (25.4% to 40.7%). Sphericity index increased in patients with modified Dor procedure but decreased in patients with mitral valve annuloplasty (0.65 to 0.78 vs. 0.75 to 0.65). In the patients who underwent concomitant surgeries showed no significant change in sphericity index after surgery. Conclusion : The early change of the left ventricular geometry and function after the concomitant surgeries with modified Dor procedure and mitral valve annuloplasty in patients with dilated heart failure includes a marked reduction in left ventricular volume and in stroke volume. The shape of the left ventricle does not change because the effect of sphericity index decrease from mitral valve annuloplasty is counteracted by the effect of sphericity index increase from modified Dor procedure. Improvement of left ventricular ejection fraction is not the early change after the concomitant surgeries.

This study was conducted to develop a cylindrical paperpot manufacturing equipment which is capable of continuously producing paperpots with a constant size. The equipment consists of the soil supply part, the paper supply part, the pot manufacturing part, the paperpot cutting part and its process for manufacturing paperpot from the soil supply to the paperpot cutting is continuously performed. As a result of the performance test using this equipment, we suggest that the optimal moisture content and injection pressure to supply soil are 50%~60%, and 0.5 Mpa respectively. Moreover the appropriate temperature for adhesive strength is $150{\sim}160^{\circ}C$ taking into account the performance of device and adhesion time. Also, considering the cutting speed and safety, it is appropriate to adopt a straight blade having a clean plan at a minimum angle of $30^{\circ}$. In addition, the manufacturing capacity of the developed equipment was 3300 pots per hour.

Some distinctive defects in the conventional stow net were examined and presented in the previous report of this series. To find out the more effective gear by correcting the defects, the authors carried out another experiment by using a newly designed gear. 1. Special features of the newly designed gear are: (1) stretched width of front end on top, bottom and side panel are decreased 20%, on the other hand, the frank of the panels are increased 10% compared with the conventional gear. Front end of top and bottom panels are bias cutten up to 20% of the length of panels. (2) Length of the head rope and ground rope are shortened 6% by changing of the shape of the top and bottom panels. (3) Lacing lines are attached to four longitudinal seaming lines with suitable hanging ratio. (4) Stretched height of the shearing device were shortened 17%, and the buoyancy on top of the device were increased 20%. (5) Length of the biforked pendants were arranged to be shorter on top-most and bottom-most ones, and loner on middle ones. 2. The observed result can be expressed as (1) Wrinkles in the front end of top panels are removed and fringe line of panels become smooth. (2) Opening height of mouth is observed 3% higher than that of the conventional gear. (3) Opening width is 1.5 to 1.6 times wider than that of the conventional gear. (4) Hydrodynamic resistance is decreased 10%-17%.

고체산화물 연료전지 (Solid Oxide Fuel Cell, 이하 SOFC)는 제조형태에 따라 크게 평판형과 원통형으로 구분할 수 있다. 단위면적당 출력 효율이 높은 평판형의 장점과 원통형의 밀봉이 용이한 장점을 동시에 가지는 평관형 형태로 지지체를 제작하였으며, 셀의 배치를 평면상 직렬로 연결하는 다전지식으로 구성함으로 전극의 길이나, 셀 간격을 기존 평판형이나 원통형에 비해 대폭 감소시켜 단위면적당 전압 및 출력효율을 높이고자 하였다. Segmented 평관형 지지체의 소재로는 연료전지의 성능 특성에 관여하지 않으며 열사이클 저항성과 기계적 강도가 우수한 spinel구조를 가지는 $MgAl_2O_4$를 선정하였다. 연료가스의 원활한 공급이 가능하도록 carbon을 기공 전구체로 사용하여 압출성형하였으며 건조과정에서 crack이 생기지 않는 공정을 확립한 후 $1400^{\circ}C$ 에서 소결하였다. 제조된 지지체는 수은침투법과 3점 굽힘 강도법으로 기공율과 기계적 강도를 각각 측정하였다. Anode를 스크린 프린팅법으로 지지체 위에 적층한 후 미세구조를 확인하였고 이를 바탕으로 다공성이며 기계적 강도를 가지고 음극과의 반응이 없는 우수한 지지체를 제조할 수 있었다.

POD (proper orthogonal decomposition) is applied to turbulent leading-edge separation bubble to extract coherent structures. A two-dimensional leading-edge separation bubble is simulated by discrete-vortex method, where a time-dependent source forcing is incorporated. Based on the wealth of numerical data, POD is applied in a range of the forcing amplitude ( $A_{o}$ = 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5) and forcing frequency (0 .leq. $f_{F}$H/ $U_{\infty}$.leq. 0.3). It is demonstrated that the structures of POD have noticeable changes with local forcings. In an effort to investigate the mechanism of decreasing reattachment length, dynamic behaviors of the expansion coefficients and contributions of the eigenfunctions of POD are scrutinized. As the forcing amplitude increases, the large-scale vortex structures are formed near the forcing amplitude increases, the large-scale vortex structures are formed near the separation point and the flow structures become more organized and more regular, accompanying with the reduction of reattachment length. By further inverstigation of POD global entropy, it is seen that the reattachment length is closely linked to the degree of organization of the flow structures.es.s.

Prior to the advent of microvascular surgery, conventional prosthetic rehabilitation offered limited success to re-establish the physiological function in oromaxillofacial reconstruction. Microvascular surgery provided a new frontier and there are multitude of flaps. Each flap has the benefits and limitation for the application to various defects. Advantage of the scapular flaps over other reconstructive methods include the ability to design multiple cutaneous panels on a separate vascular pedicle allowing improvement in three-dimensional relationship and osseointegrated implants can be palced to restore occlusal and masticatory function. Here I present the detailed description of the important surgical anatomy as well as graft dissection and clinical application of free vascularized scapular flap.

본 논문에서는 수중 초음파 통신용 QPSK 버스트 수신기를 DSP시스템을 이용하여 구현하기위한 시스템 설계에 대하여 논한다. 본 논문에서 고려하는 시스템은 25kHz의 반송주파수를 사용하고, 심벌율은 5kHz이며, 데이터 전송율은 10,000bps이다. 송신기에서 심벌정보를 전송하기 위해 펄스성형필터를 거친 신호를 디지털 믹서기를 이용하여 디지털 영역에서 반송주파수 대역으로 신호를 변조한 후 200kHz로 샘플링하는 D/A변환기를 이용하여 전송 아날로그 신호를 생성한다. 수신기에서는 수신 신호를 디지털로 처리하기 위하여 100kHz로 free running하는 A/D 변환기를 이용하여 수신 데이터를 얻는다. 수신기에서는 32심벌 길이의 프리앰블을 이용하여 프레임 동기를 찾음과 동시에 개략적인 심벌시간 동기와 위상편이를 추정한다. 추정한 위상편이값은 2차 PLL (phase-looked loop)의 초기값으로 사용하여 위상 추적을 수행하는 전송 시스템이다. 또한, 된 논문에서는 실해역 전송 시험 테이터를 통하여 조류의 변화에 의해 발생하는 Doppler 편이를 보상하기 위하여 PLL이 필수적으로 필요함을 보인다.
