To examine the effed of Insulin on neuronal differentiation, telencephalic neuroblasts from chick embryonic brains were cultured in a serum-free medium. Indirect immunofluorescence microscopic studies revealed that the spedfic protein, MAP-2, was localized in both cell bodies and neurites of developing neuroblasts. Furthermore, treatinent of increasing concentration of Insulin promoted the MAP-2 synthesis as well as the neurite outgrowth activity. Thus, the enhancement of the morphological and biochemical parameters for neuronal differentiation appears to he closely correlated, and the neurotrophic effect of insulin may play a crucial role in neuronal process formation.

For the linearized differential algebraic equation of the nonlinear constrained system, exact initial values of the acceleration are needed to solve itself. It may be very troublesome to perform the inverse operation for obtaining the incremental quantities since the mass matrix contains the zero element in the diagonal. This fact makes the mass matrix impossible to be positive definite. To overcome this singularity phenomenon the mass matrix needs to be modified to allow the feasible application of predictor and corrector in the iterative computation. In this paper the proposed numerical algorithm based on the modified mass matrix combines the conventional implicit algorithm, Newton-Raphson method and Newmark method. The numerical example presents reliabilities for the proposed algorithm via comparisons of the 4th order Runge-kutta method. The proposed algorithm seems to be satisfactory even though the acceleration, Lagrange multiplier, and energy show unstable behaviour. Correspondingly, it provides one important clue to another algorithm for the enhancement of the numerical results.

The existence of the j-type collision periodic orbit is examined on the condition of mass ratio 0.9878449 and Jacobian constant 2.9∼3.4. Using the Birckhoff's regularization method and the 5th order Runge-Kutta variable step-sized numerical roution introduced by Fehlberg (1968). we test their periodicities. As the results, 4 j-type collision orbits and 5 peculiar orbits are represented. There are good agreements in this collision orbits with the relationship between the period and the shape of orbit proposed by Pinotsis Zikides(1984).

최근에 본 연구자에 의해서 단축 스크류 공정에서 카오스 스크류라고 명명되어진 카오스 혼합장치가 성공적으로 개발되었다. 기하학적 조건이나 공정조건에 대한 설계변수로 카오스 스크류를 설계하기 위하여 체류시간, 포인카레 단면 그리고 혼합패턴등에 대한 계산 과 해석이 이루어져야 하는데 이를 단지 Runge-Kutta 방법에 의해 속도장을 적분한다면 상당한 계산시간이 소비된다. 이러한 수치문제를 극복하기 위하여 본논문에서는 새로운 사 상법을 제안한다. 이 방법으　 사용하면 벽면 근처의 특이점 영역에서도 수치문제가 해결된 다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 수치사상법은 Runge-Kutta 방법에 비하여 수치계산의 효율성과 정확도 면에서, 특히 유안요소법으로 얻은 속도장에 대하여 우수함이 밝혀졌다. 이러한 사상 법은 공간주기 유동장뿐만 아니라 시간주기 유동장에서 적용할수 있다.

탄소성 캡 모델의 중요한 장점은 여러 가지 다공체의 전체적인 축차 및 체적의 비선형 상호거동을 동시에 다룰 수 있음에 있다. 그러나 대부분의 캡 모델이 가진 문제점중의 하나는 세 개의 독립적인 항복면이 불연속으로 연결되어 있음으로부터 기인된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 항복면 사이의 연결점에서의 탄소성 접선 계수는 특이점이 되고 수치해석상 잠재적인 어려움을 내재하고 있음을 나타내고 이러한 문제의 해결방안의 하나로 세 개의 항복면이 연속적으로 만나는 새로운 탄소성 캡 모델을 제시하였다. 본 논문에서는 모델의 증분형태의 구성식 및 새로운 응력을 구하기 위한 활동 항복면의 결정을 판단하는 알고리즘이 제시되었다. 동반 논문에서는 내재적인 응력적분 및 일관적인 접선계수를 유도하였고 예제계산들을 수행하였다.

The higher order singularities[1] are systematically examined, and discussed are their complementarity relation with the nonsingular eigenfunctions and their relations to the configurational forces like J-integral and M-integral. By use of the so-called two state conservation laws(Im and Kim[2]) or interaction energy, originally proposed by Eshelby[3] and later treated by Chen and Shield[4], the intensities of the higher order singularities are calculated, and their roles in elasticplastic fracture are investigated. Numerical examples are presented for illustration.

This paper presents a new stable composite control law for the flexible joint robot manipulators, which incorporate an additional stabilizing control law with the sliding property. The singularly perturbated models in this paper include inertia moments which are functions or the deformations of actuators as well as link positions. The values of renewedly defined fast controller variables are computer from the corrected reduced-order model without additional computational loads. Proposed schemes are compared with the conventional one. The simulations for 2 DOF flexible joint manipulator show that the proposed schemes are more stable than the conventional scheme, and especially effective for the manipulator with high joint-flexibilities.

Within the framework of anisotropic thermoelasticity, the problem of an interlaminar crack in a laminated fiber-reinforced composite subjected to a uniform heat flow is investigated. Under a state of generalized plane deformation, dissimilar anisotropic half-spaces with different fiber orientations are considered to be bound together by a matrix interlayer containing the crack. The interlayer models the matrix-rich interlaminar region of the fibrous composite laminate. Based on the flexibility/stiffness matrix approach, formulation of the current crack problem results in having to solve two sets of singular integral equations for temperature and thermal stress analyses. Numerical results are obtained, illustrating the parametric effects of laminate stacking sequence, relative crack size, crack location, crack surface partial insulation, and fiber volume fraction on the values of mixed mode thermal stress intensity factors.

The energy release rates for a dynamically growing crack in orthotropic materials are expressed explicitly in terms of dynamic stress intensity factors. The stress functions suitable for the problem are found and the evaluation of the J-integral for the theoretical singular crack tip fields yields energy release rates. The present results are simpler than the existing ones and can be reduced to the well known solutions in special cases. Examples of extracting stress intensity factors from the finite element solution using the present results are given for the dynamically growing crack problem of orthotropic materials.

The boundary element method was used for studying singularities of an interface crack with contact zones. The iterative procedure is applied to estimate the contact zone size. Because the contact zone size was extremely small in a tension field, a large number of Gaussian points were used for numerical integration of the Kernels. Stress extrapolation method and J-integral were used ofr determining stress intensity factors. When the interface crack was assumed to have opened tips, oscillatory singularities appear near the tips of the interface crack. But the interface crack with contact zone which Comninou suggested had no oscillatory behavior. The contact zone size under shear loading was much larger than that under tensile. The stress intensity factors computed by stress extrapolation method were close to those of Comninou's solution. And the stress intensity factor evaluated by J-integral was similar to that by stress extrapolation method.
