In this study, during the injection molding process, a device was manufactured and evaluated that calculates a cooling time by measuring a vibration signal generated from a mold using an acceleration. The last two parts, one of which has a large magnitude change in the measured vibration signal of a mold, were divided into a cooling start section (paking end section) and a mold opening section, and the time difference at the relevant points was calculated as the cooling time. The cooling time was monitored on a 5-inch light guide plate mold by applying the method. The manufactured device was attached to a fixed base of mold to measure the cooling time, and data was obtained remotely using Bluetooth technology. Then, the measured cooling time was compared with the cooling time set in the injection molding machine to evaluate the accuracy. As a result of the experiment, the cooling times measured by the devices were 15.675±0.024 sec, 20.637±0.014 sec and 25.623±0.079 sec of each conditions. Also, the measurement results were shown with errors of 0.655±0.044 sec, 0.637±0.014 sec, and 0.662±0.013 sec, respectively.

Zirconium has excellent mechanical strength and high heat resistance and excellent corrosion resistance, and it is very important to study zirconium's dissimilar welding properties since it can be used in various applications under harsh environments. Similar welding of pure zirconium and dissimilar metal welding of pure zirconium and pure titanium were performed by TIG welding, and the welding properties were studied in association with microstructural and mechanical properties. In the Zr/Zr welded specimen, sound FZ and HAZ regions showed a basketweave microstructure composed of plate α phase. FZ region of Zr/Ti dissimilar welded specimen exhibited a maximum hardness value of 354.8 Hv, which is about three times higher than that of Ti base metal, due to the precipitation of very fine metastable ω and α phases in the beta matrix. In addition, due to the microstructural continuity in the FZ and HAZ regions, excellent elongation property of 21% was exhibited.

Energy-dissipative rocking (EDR) columns are a class of seismic mitigation device capable of dissipating seismic energy and preventing weak-story failure of moment resisting frames (MRFs). An EDR consists of two hinge-supported steel columns interconnected by steel dampers along its height. Under earthquakes, the input seismic energy can be dissipated by plastic energy of the steel dampers in the EDR column. However, the unrecoverable plastic deformation of steel dampers generally results in residual drifts in the structural system. This paper presents a proof-of-concept study on an innovative device, namely self-centring energy-dissipative rocking (SC-EDR) column, aiming at enabling self-centring capability of the EDR column by installing a set of shape memory alloy (SMA) tension braces. The working mechanism of the SC-EDR column is presented in detail, and the feasibility of the new device is carefully examined via experimental and numerical studies considering the parameters of the SMA bar diameter and the steel damper plate thickness. The seismic responses including load carrying capacities, stress distributions, base rocking behaviour, source of residual deformation, and energy dissipation are discussed in detail. A rational combination of the steel damper and the SMA tension braces can achieve excellent energy dissipation and self-centring performance.

Previous studies have shown that pile-soil interactions have significant influences on the isolation efficiency of an isolated structure. However, most of the existing tests were carried out using a 1-g shaking table, which cannot reproduce the soil stresses resulting in distortion of the simulated pile-soil interactions. In this study, a centrifuge shaking table modelling of the seismic responses of a friction pendulum bearing isolated structure with a pile foundation under earthquakes were conducted. The pile foundation structure was designed and constructed with a scale factor of 1:100. Two layers of the foundation soil, i.e., the bottom layer was made of plaster and the upper layer was normal soil, were carefully prepared to meet the similitude requirement. Seismic responses, including strains, displacement, acceleration, and soil pressure were collected. The settlement of the soil, sliding of the isolator, dynamic amplification factor and bending moment of the piles were analysed to reveal the influence of the soil structure interaction on the seismic performance of the structure. It is found that the soil rotates significantly under earthquake motions and the peak rotation is about 0.021 degree under 24.0 g motions. The isolator cannot return to the initial position after the tests because of the unrecoverable deformation of the soil and the friction between the curved surface of the slider and the concave plate.

The free and forced vibration in addition to electric energy harvesting of a piezoelectric disk resting on two-parameter foundation modeled by modified couple stress as well as Kirchhoff plate theory is probed. The governing equations and boundary conditions are obtained using Hamilton's principle. Then, the free and forced vibration are solved using numerical solutions, generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM) and Newmark-beta method. The forced vibration is resulted from a base excitation load. Also, the possible voltage which can be harvested from this system is obtained using generalized integral quadrature method. The validity of the formulation and solution procedure is confirmed using a compassion study. The impact of parameters such as length effect, inner to outer radius ratio, and foundations parameters on the free and forced vibration as well as energy harvesting is investigated in detail. This paper can be a basis for future studies in the area of piezoelectric harvesters in small scales.

The temperature prediction approaches of three important locations in an operational longitudinal slab track-bridge structure by using three typical neural network methods based on the field measuring platform of four meteorological factors and internal temperature. The measurement experiment of four meteorological factors (e.g., ambient temperature, solar radiation, wind speed, and humidity) temperature in the three locations of the longitudinal slab and base plate of three important locations (e.g., mid-span, beam end, and Wide-Narrow Joint) were conducted, and then their characteristics were analyzed, respectively. Furthermore, temperature prediction effects of three locations under five various meteorological conditions are tested by using three neural network methods, respectively, including the Artificial Neural Network (ANN), the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). More importantly, the predicted effects of solar radiation in four meteorological factors could be identified with three indicators (e.g., Root Means Square Error, Mean Absolute Error, Correlation Coefficient of R2). In addition, the LSTM method shows the best performance, while the CNN method has the best prediction effect by only considering a single meteorological factor.

오버레이 용접은 희석율에 의해 적층 두께에 따라 화학성분 함량과 용접부의 경도에 영향을 미치며 이는 파이프 제품의 표면성질을 결정한다. 이로 인해 오버레이 용접은 적층의 수를 고려하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 탄소강 모재에 내부식성 소재인 모넬 소재를 오버레이 용접하여 적층수에 따른 Fe함량, 모재와 모넬 소재와의 용접성, 부위별 경도와 표면 평탄도를 실험적으로 연구하였다. 각각의 평가는 평판의 모재와 파이프 모재에 3개의 층으로 오버레이 용접 후 실시하였다. Fe함량은 각 층별 시료를 채취하여 성분 분석을 통해 평가하였으며, 3Layer에서 만족하는 함량을 나타내었다. 또한 적층별 시편을 밴딩 시험하여 용접성을 평가하였다. 적층별 경도와 비드 평탄도는 Micro Vickers와 3차원 측정을 통해 평가하였다. 경도는 1Layer에서 발생하는 HAZ부에 의해 가장 높은 경도 값을 보였으며, 적층이 증가할수록 경도가 감소하였다. 비드 평탄도의 경우 적층수 증가에 따라 편차가 급격한 차이가 발생하였으며, 이는 경도와 함께 사용 목적의 측면에서 주의 깊게 고려해야 한다. 이러한 실험적 결과는 목적에 따른 용접 파이프 적층수의 결정 방법을 나타내었다.

Statement of problem. Proliferation of Candida albicans is primarily within the plaque on the fitting surface of the denture rather than on the inflamed mucosa. Consequently, the treatment of the denture is equally important as treatment of the tissue. Cleansing and disinfection should be efficiently carried-out as the organisms can penetrate into the voids of the acrylic resin and grow in them, from which they can continue to infect and reinfect bearing tissues. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the applicability of photocatalytic reaction to eliminate Candida albicans from acrylic resin denture base, and to investigate the anti-fungal effect with various UVA illumination time. Materials and Methods. The specimens were cured by the conventional method following the manufacturer's instruction using thermal polymerized denture base resin (Vertex RS: Dentimex, Netherlands). $TiO_2$ photocatalyst sol(LT), which is able to be coated at normal temperature, was made from the Ti-alkoxide progenitor. The XRD patterns, TEM images and nitrogen absorption ability of the $TiO_2$ photocatalyst sol(LT) were compared with the commercial $TiO_2$ photocatalyst P-25. The experimental specimens were coated with the mixture of the $TiO_2$ photocatalyst sol(LT) and binder material (silane) using dip-coater, and uncoated resin plates were used as the control group. Crystallinity of $TiO_2$ of the specimen was tested by the XRD. Size, shape and chemical compositions were also analyzed using the FE-SEM/ EDS. The angle and methylene blue degradation efsciency were measured for evaluating the photocatalytic activity of the $TiO_2$ film. Finally, the antifungal activity of the specimen was tested. Candida albicans KCTC 7629(1 ml, initial concentration $10^5$ cells/ ml) were applied to the experiment and control group specimens and subsequently two UVA light source with 10W, 353 nm peak emission were illuminated to the specimens from 15cm above. The extracted $2{\mu}l$ of sample was plated on nutrient agar plate ($Bacto^{TM}$ Brain Heart Infusion; BD, USA) with 10 minute intervals for 120 minute, respectively. It was incubated for 24 hours at $37^{\circ}C$ and the colony forming units (CFUs) were then counted. Results. Compared the characteristics of LT photocatalyst with commercial P-25 photocatalyst, LT were shown higher activity than P-25. The LT coated experimental specimen surface had anatase crystal form, less than 20 nm of particle size and wide specific surface area. To evaluate the photocatalytic activity of specimens, methylene blue degradation reaction were used and about 5% of degradation rate were measured after 2 hours. The average contact angle was less than $20^{\circ}$ indicating that the LT photocatalyst had hydrophilicity. In the antifungal activity test for Candida albicans, 0% survival rate were measured within 30 minute after irradiation of UVA light. Conclusion. From the results reported above, it is concluded that the UVA-LT photocatalytic reaction have an antifungal effect on the denture surface Candida albicans, and so that could be applicable to the clinical use as a cleaning method.

전치의 후방 견인시 교정력은 치아의 저항중심에서 벗어난 브라켓을 통해 적용되기 때문에 바람직하지 못한 경사이동이 발생하게 되고 이를 방지하기 위한 여러 가지 방법 중 호선에 curve나 전치부 호선에 치근 설측 토그를 부여하는 방법이 많이 사용된다. 이에 본 연구는 combination loop archwire와 hook을 이용한 활주역 학을 이용하여 전치를 후방 견인 시, compensating curve를 0도, 15도, 30도 부여하고, 이 때 나타나는 효과를 광탄성법으로 비교 연구하기 위하여 치아와 치조골 모형을 광탄성 모형으로 대체시키고 와이어와 브라켓을 주어진 조건으로 위치시 킨 후 편광판을 이용하여 초기 응력 상태를 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. Combination loop archwire와 활주역학으로 전치를 후방 견인 시 compensating curve가 0도, 15도, 30도로 증가할수록 전치부 치근단 부위의 최대 무의차수가 감소하였다. 2. Combination loop archwire와 활주역 학으로 전치를 후방 견인 시 compensating curve가 0도, 15도, 30도로 증가할수록 견치와 소구치 부위의 최대 무의차수가 증가하였다. 3. Combination loop archwire로 전치를 견인할 때보다 동일한 힘을 사용하여 활주역 학으로 견인할 때 전치부 치근단 부위에서 다소 낮은 무의차수를 나타내었다. 이상의 결과에서 Combination loop archwire와 활주역학을 이용한 상악전치의 후방 견인시 견인방법에 큰 차이 없이 호선에 부여한 compensating curve는 전치의 설측 경사이동 양상을 어느 정도 감소시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 힘의 적용위치가 저항중심에 더욱 가까운 hook을 이용한 활주 역학이 전치의 설측경사 방지에 더 효과적일 것으로 판단된다.가 높게 나타나는 현상을 부분적으로 설명하여 주는 것으로 사료된다.용한 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.ing할 경우, arch perimeter의 증가량은 Curve of Spee의 최대 길이의 1/2보다 적게 나타났다.$(_{60}PBS)$는 전단결합강도(SBS)의 $34\%$ 수준이었으며, 인장결합강도(TBS)에 대해서는 $61\%$ 수준이었으며, Non-etched Foil-Mesh base에서 최저 Peel 결합 강도$(_{60}PBS)$는 전단결합강도(SBS)의 $34\%$ 수준이었으며, 인장결합강도(TBS)에 대해서는 $55\%$ 수준이었다. 4. 단위 면적 당 결합강도에 있어서 전단결합강도(SBS)와 인장결합강도(TBS) 및 $75^{\circ}\;와\;90^{\circ}$ peel 결합강도는 Micro-Loc base와 Chessboard base에서 차이 가 없었으며 Non-etched Foil-Mesh base에서 가장 작았고(p<0.05), $0^{\circ},\;15^{\circ},\;30^{\circ},\;60^{\circ}$ peel응력을 적용한 결과 Chessboard base에서 가장 큰 Peel결합강도를, Non-etched Foil-Mesh base에서 가장 작은 결합강도를 보였다(p<0.05).았다. 6. 주사전자현미경으로 본 표면은 모든 제품에서 생산과정 중에 보이는 압흔과 pitting이 관찰되는데, 진성기업의 Stainless Steel은 가늘고 긴 압흔이 있으며 비교적 매끄러운 표면을 보이고, Unitek사의 경우 압흔과 함께 pitting 이 관찰되며, Ormco Stainless Steel의 경우 불규칙한 pitting이 다수 존재했다
