The purpose of this study was to investigate the displacement and pattern of stress distribution on periodontal ligaments of maxillary first and second molar, and on orthodontic mini-implant (OMI) surface, according to three different insertion angles to the bone surface of OMI using Dragon helix appliance, which is a newly introduced scissors-bite correcting appliance. OMI were placed between second premolar and first molar with three different insertion angles (45, 60, 90 degrees). Displacement and maximum stress distribution area (MSDA) were analyzed by finite element analysis. When the insertion angle to the alveolar bone surface was 90 degrees, maxillary first and second molar both exhibited MSDA at the palatal root apex. Maxillary first molar did not show any significant displacement, while the second molar exhibited intrusive and palatal displacement. On the OMI, as the insertion angle decreased, the MSDA shifted towards the tip, and the amount of displacement had increased. When the OMI was inserted at a 90 degree angle, anchor loss was minimized and scissors-bite correcting effect was maximized.

Purpose: The change of the marginal bone around dental implants have significance not only for the functional maintenance but also for the esthetic success of the implant. The purpose of this study was to investigate the load transfer of internal conical joint type implant according to marginal bone resorption by using the three-dimensional finite element analysis model. Materials and methods: The internal conical joint type system was selected as an experimental model. Finite element models of bone/implant/prosthesis complex were constructed. A load of 300 N was applied vertically beside 3 mm of implant axis. Results: The pattern of stress distribution according to marginal bone resorption was similar. The maximum equivalent stress of implant was increase according to marginal bone resorption and the largest maximum equivalent stress was shown at model of 1 mm marginal bone resorption. Although marginal bone loss more than 1mm was occurred increasing of stress, the width of the stress increase was decreasing. Conclusion: According to these results, the exposure of thin neck portion of internal conical joint type implant is most important factor in stress increasing.

The transformed field domain analysis method was developed in this study to investigate the aspects of the stress distribution in overlaid concrete pavement systems under multi-axle vehicle loads. The overlay was assumed to be perfectly bonded or perfectly unbonded to the existing concrete pavement. The loads considered included the dual tired single-axle, tandem-axle, and tridem-axle loads, and the effects of the overlay's thickness, elastic modulus, and Poisson's ratio on the stress distribution were investigated. Details of the analysis method in the transformed field domain to analyze the overlaid pavement was described in this paper and the analysis results were verified by comparing with those obtained using the finite element method. From the analysis, it was found that the maximum tensile stress in the existing slab decreased as the overlay's thickness, elastic modulus, and Poisson's ratio increased, and the bonded overlay showed more significant effects than the unbonded one. The overlay's Poisson's ratio did not much affect the stresses, and the features of the maximum stress reduction in the existing slab due to the increase of the thickness, elastic modulus, and Poisson's ratio of the overlay were investigated. The effects of the number of axles on the stress distribution and the maximum stress were also investigated.

Purpose: This study is aimed to assess changes of stress distribution dependent on different connection lengths and placement of the fixture top relative to the ridge crest. Materials and methods: The internal-conical connection implant which has a hexagonal anti-rotation index was used for FEM analysis on stress distribution in accordance with connection length of fixture-abutment. Different connection lengths of 2.5 mm, 3.5 mm, and 4.5 mm were designed respectively with the top of the fixture flush with residual ridge crest level, or 2 mm above. Therefore, a total of 6 models were made for the FEM analysis. The load was 170 N and 30-degree tilted. Results: In all cases, the maximum von Mises stress was located adjacent to the top portion of the fixture and ridge crest in the bone. The longer the connection length was, the lower the maximum von Mises stress was in the fixture, abutment, screw and bone. The reduction rate of the maximum von Mises stress depending on increased connection length was greater in the case of the fixture top at 2 mm above the ridge crest versus flush with the ridge crest. Conclusion: It was found that the longer the connection length, the lower the maximum von Mises stress appears. Furthermore, it will help prevent mechanical or biological complications of implants.

본 연구는 154 kV, 345 kV급 초고압 케이블의 수직구간 활락 안전성에 대한 평가를 진행하였다. 안전성에 대한 평가는 유한요소해석법을 이용하여 진행하였으며, 당사에서 제작한 케이블 및 클리트에 대하여 케이블의 자중과 발열에 따른 제품 내부의 응력과 케이블의 변형량에 초점을 맞추어 비교 분석하였다. 해석 결과, 하중 및 발열에 대해 재료의 인장강도 측면에서 충분한 안전율을 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 변위 해석 또한 최대 변위 발생부가 최대 응력 발생부와 관계없는 케이블 끝단에서 나타나는 것으로 볼 때, 재료 건전성 측면에서 안전한 것으로 해석되었다. 본 연구는 향후 경사지나 수직구간의 포설 설계시 해석적 방법으로 포설 안전성을 확보하는데 기여할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The optimum design of the cylindrical shell under external pressure loading is considered. The design variable is a skin thickness of the unstiffened parallel middle body shell. Overall buckling strength and direct stress and displacements constraints are considered in the design problem The optimum design is achieved with one of the standard nonlinear constrained optimization technique. A method for calculating the sensitivity coefficients is developed using the direct differentiation.

일반적으로 구조부재의 안전성 평가는 계측된 센서의 변형률로부터 부재의 최대응력 또는 부재력 수준을 결정하고 설계기준에 의한 부재의 허용응력 또는 설계 강도와의 비교에 의해서 이루어진다. 그러나 이러한 설계기준은 건물의 설계단계에서 미리 가정된 하중 및 부재의 강도에 대한 여러 확률분포 또는 안전율을 반영하여 작성된 것으로 실질적으로 센서로부터 측정한 데이터를 직접 설계기준에 반영하는 것은 합리적이지 못하다. 본 연구에서는 실제 센서로부터 측정되는 변형률을 이용하여 합리적으로 구조부재의 안전성 평가를 수행하기 위한 방법을 모색하고자 한다. 설계기준을 고려한 변형률 제한치, 저감계수가 도입되었으며 이에 추가적으로 센서와 관련한 계수를 도입하여 구조부재의 안전성 평가를 위한 방향을 제시한다.

ECC is a special kind of high performance cementititous composite which exhibits typically more than 2% tensile strain capacity by bridging microcracks at a crack section. Therefore, micromechanics should be adopted to obtain multiple cracking and strain hardening behavior. This paper propose a linear elastic analysis method to simulate the multiple cracking and strain hardening behavior of ECC. In an analysis, the stress-crack opening relation modified considering the orientation of fibers and the number of effective fibers is adopted. Furthermore, to account for uncertainty of materials and interface between materials, the randomness is assigned to the tensile strength(${\sigma}_{fci}$), elastic modulus($E_{ci}$), peak bridging stress(${\sigma}_{Bi}$) and crack opening at peak bridging stress(${\delta}_{Bi}$), initial stress at a crack section due to chemical bonding, (${\sigma}_{0i}$), and crack spacing(${\alpha}_cX_d$). Test results shows the number of cracking and stiffness of cracked section are important parameters and strain hardening behavior and maximum strain capacity can be simulated using the proposed method.

사면 안정 해석은 주로 파괴 활동면의 전단 강도와 발휘되는 전단 강도의 최대비로서 표현되는 파괴활동의 추정을 위해 기존의 고전적인 방법을 사용하거나 이와 유사한 방법등이 사용되어 왔다. 이러한 방법들은 토질에 있어서의 상호 작용력과 그에 따른 전당력 및 사면 활동면의 반복되는 추정등의 가정으로 불확실성을 내포하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 토질전체를 연속체로 규정하고 비선형 유한요소법을 이용한 토질의 실제 응력과 강도를 정확하게 계산하였다. 사면 안정은 점차적 인증력의 증가로서 사면의 붕괴 활동면이 나타나FEo 까지로 해석되었다. 제시된 방법의 세부적인 사항은 예제를 통하여 설명되어 있다.

한반도 주요 지체구조구에 대한 최대지진을 지진 및 지질자료를 이용하여 여러 가지 방법으로 결정하였다. 한반도에서 발생한 가장 큰 지진은 MMI IX - X의 범위에 걸치며 이는 M= 7.0 - 7.7 에 해당한다. Gumbel의 극대치 제3분포를 이용하면 지체구조구별 최대지진은 M = 7.1 - 7.9의 범위에 놓이고, 응력방출 양상을 분석하면 M = 6.7 - 7.7 가 도출된다. 단층길이와 규모와의 상관관계에서 최대지진은 M = 7.4 - 7.6 에 놓인다. 한반도의 주요 지체구조구 사이에 최대지진의 현격한 차이를 나타내는 지진 및 지질학적 증거는 없다. 역사지진의 평가에서 강진들은 대략 1 계급( M=0.7) 과대 평가되는 경향이 있으므로, 한반도의 최대지진은 대략 M = 7.0으로 추정된다.
