The purpose of this study was to measure and compare tensile and shear strength for 4 types of new direct-bonding brackets and same brackets after recycling and to evaluate the change of bracket slot width after recycling. Four types of new direct-bond brackets were bonded to recently extracted human premolar teeth and the tensile and shear strength was measured by Universal Testing Machine. The brackets were recycled by chemical process and the tensile and shear test was repeated. To evaluate the change of the bracket slot width, slot width was measured by the Topcon Universal Measuring Microscope before and after recycling. Following results were obtained: 1. There was no satistically significant difference between the tensile and shear strength of recycled brackets and those of new brackets. 2. In both new and recycled brackets, the tensile and shear strength of perforated base bracket was lower than those of photoetched, foilmesh and contou-lok mesh base brackets. (P<0.01) 3. There was no statistically significant difference in bonding strengths of control group bonded only once and two times. 4. There was no statistically significant difference in the change of the bracket slow width after recycling process. 5. Of the failure, the combination type (58%) in the tensile strength and the tooth adhesive interface (65%) in the shear strength was the most common type.

This paper presents the results of experimental and numerical model analyses on partially encased composite columns under concentric loads. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of replacing the conventional longitudinal and transverse steel bars by welded wire mesh on the structural behavior of these members under concentric loads. To achieve these goals experimental tests on four specimens of partially encased composite columns submitted to axial loading were performed and the results were promising in terms of replacing the traditional reinforcement by steel meshes. In addition, a numerical FE model was developed using the software DIANA$^{(R)}$ with FX+. The experimental results were used to validate the numerical model. Satisfactory agreement between experimental and numerical results was observed in both capacity and deformability of the composite columns. Despite of the simplifying assumptions of perfect bond between steel and concrete, the numerical model adequately represented the columns behavior. A finite element parametric study was performed and parameters including thickness of the steel profile and the concrete and steel strengths were evaluated. The parametrical study results found no significant changes in the partially encased columns behavior due to variations of the steel profile thickness or yield strength. However, significant changes in the post peak behavior were observed when using high strength concrete and these results suggest a change in the failure mode.

Typical confidence intervals for a mean or mean residual life (MRL) are centered about the mean or mean residual life. We discuss novel confidence intervals that produce statements like "we are 95% confident that the MRL function, e(t), is greater than a prespecified $\mu_o$ for all t in the interval [0, $\hat{\theta})$)" where $\hat{\theta}$ is determined from the sample data, confidence level, and $\mu_o$. Also, we can have statements like 'we are 95% confident that the MRL of population 1, namely $e_1$(t), is greater than the MRL of population 2, $e_2$(t), for all t in the interval [0, $\hat{\theta}$)" where $\hat{\theta}$ is determined from the sample data and confidence level. We illustrate these one and two sample confidence intervals on internal bonds (tensile strengths) for an important modem engineered wood product, called medium density fiberboard (MDF), used internationally.

Despite the improvements in bond strengths of dentin adhesives and resin-modified glass ionomers, the marginal seal of cervical restorations remains a concern. Microleakage at poorly sealed margins can result in staining, post-operative sensitivity, pulpal irritation, and recurrent caries. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of surface penetrating sealant(SPS) on the microleakage of cervical restorations. 45 extracted human teeth were selected, and Class V preparations were prepared on the both buccal and lingual surface of the teeth to the following dimensions : 1.5mm axially, 3mm mesiodistally, and 3mm incisogingivally. After cervical restoration with composite resin, compomer, glass ionomer each restoration was treated as three methods: No Tx., Scotchbond Multipurpose Adhesive$^{\circledR}$, Fortify$^{\circledR}$. The sections were examined with a stereomicroscope to determine the extent of microleakage at enamel and dentin margins. The results of this study were as follows. 1. All groups showed some microleakage. 2. Gingival cavity wall with cementum margin showed significantly higher leakage value than occlusal cavity wall with enamel margin. 3. The group treated with SPS showed significantly lower leakage value than no treated group(p<0.05). But there is no difference between Fortify$^{\circledR}$ and Scotchbond Multipurpose adhesive$^{\circledR}$. The results of this study suggest that SPS are effective in reducing microleakage of class V restorations. But it is certain that some microleakage still occurred despite the application of SPS.

Particleboard(PB) is one of the most commonly used wood-based composite materials, which can be prepared by utilizing any kind of low grade wooden materials like waste wood which contains formaldehyde itself. Therefore, PB have been of considerable interest, in issues regarding the formaldehyde emission problems. Wood wastes are carbonized by the carbonization kiln at $800^{\circ}C$. Charcoal has been known as a formaldehyde adsorber. Thus, in this study, we fabricated PBs with carbonized waste particles cores, to examine the possibility of developing less formaldehyde emitting boards. The physical and mechanical properties were evaluated by Korean Standard (KS F 3104). The moisture content of PBs ranged from 6.76 to 8.36%. Internal bond strengths decreased with the increase in the content of carbonized core particles. Formaldehyde emission showed minimum value at 25% of carbonized core particles, but the emission values increased when the amount of carbonized cote particles increased. When 25% of carbonized core particles was used, PBs met KS F 3104 standard properties.

A molecular dynamic computer experiment was performed on a system of 108 particles composed of a single polymer chain and solvent molecules. The state considered was in the immediate neighborhood of the triple point of the system. The polymer itself is an analog of a freely jointed chain. The Lennard-Jones potential was used to represent the interactions between all particles except for that between the chain elements forming a bond in the polymer chain, for which the interaction was expressed by a harmonic potential. The self-diffusion coefficient and velocity autocorrelation function (VACF) of a polymer were calculated at various chain lengths $N_p$, and various interaction strengths between solvent molecules and a polymer chain element. For self-diffusion coefficients D, the Einstein relation holds good; as chain length $N_p$ increases the D value decreases, and D also decreases as ${\varepsilon}_{cs}$ (the interaction parameter between the chain element and solvent molecules) increases. The relaxation time of velocity autocorrelation decreases as ${\varepsilon}_{cs}$ increases, and it is constant for various chain lengths. The diffusion coefficients in various conditions reveal that our systems are in a free draining limit as is well known from the behavior of low molecular weight polymers, this also agrees with the Kirkwood-Riesman theory.

Various performances of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) applied with microplastics and expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads were evaluated. CompressIve and flexural strength, performance after ignition, flow-down in fresh state, and effective bond strength were evaluated. Designed weight of the cement panel with these mixtures was calculated based on the flexural strength. As a result of the experiments, it was confirmed that the EPS could reduce the density of UHPC with largest range. By maximum addition of EPS beeds, the density of UHPC decreased to 1300 kg/m³, and the compressive and flexural strengths for this mixtures were in ranges of 20-30 MPa and 15-20 MPa, respectively. On the other hand, lightest cement panel could be designed with UHPC having a density ranges about 2.0 g/cm³.

This work presents experimental and numerical investigations on the flexural performances of composite deep-deck plate slabs. Seven deep-deck plate slab specimens with topping concrete were fabricated; the height of the topping slab as well as presence and type of shear connector were set as the main variables to perform bending experiments. The flexural behaviors of the specimens and composite behaviors of the deck plate and concrete were analyzed in detail. The contributions of the deck plate to the flexural stiffness and strength of the slab were identified through finite element (FE) analysis. FE analysis was carried out using the validated FE model by considering the varying bond strengths of the deck plates and concrete, thickness of the deck plate, and types and spacings of the shear connectors. Based on the results, the degree of composite of the deep-deck plate was examined, and a flexural strength equation for the composite deck plate slabs was proposed.

폴리머 계열의 박층 라이너는 양호한 암반 조건에서 숏크리트와 철망을 대체할 수 있는 새로운 지보재로 고려되고 있으며, 1990년대부터 광산의 안정성 확보를 위해 사용되고 있다. 하지만 TSL의 지보 성능을 평가하기 위한 TSL의 특성에 대한 실험적 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 구성 성분이 다른 두 가지 TSL 재료에 대해 재령 7일에 인장강도와 부착강도를 측정하였고, EFNARC(2008)에서 제시하고 있는 지지력 평가 시험도 함께 실시하였다. 시험결과, 폴리머 함량이 높아질수록 재료의 인장강도는 높아지나 상대적으로 부착강도는 작아지는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 폴리머 함량은 상대적으로 작지만 시멘트계 성분이 포함된 TSL 재료의 경우에는 경화가 빠르기 때문에 부착파괴에 대한 저항성이 높게 나타났다. 이상과 같이 폴리머 함량에 따라 TSL의 성능이 상이하게 나타남을 확인할 수 있었다.

목적: 산부식제 적용후 치은 자극으로 인하여 지혈제를 사용할 때 다양한 pH를 가진 지혈제를 적용후 pH에 따른 레진 결합력 차이와 산부식제 재적용 여부에 따른 결합력 회복 정도를 비교하는 것이다. 재료 및 방법: 본 실험에서 사용된 지혈제 중 보스민, 아스트리제덴트, 헤모덴트로 대부분의 지혈제는 산도가 낮다. 또한 바이진은 눈의 충혈제거제로써 성분은 중성이다. 실험방법은 먼저 치관이 건전한 90개의 대구치 10개씩 9그룹으로 나눠 교정용 레진에 식립 한 후 치축과 수직으로 섹션 후 연마한 뒤 대조군은 통상적인 방법으로 산부식과 접착제를 도포 하고, 실험군은 산부식한 뒤 각각의 지혈제를 30초간 오염시킨다. 그 뒤 린스만 한 N 그룹과, 린스 후 산부식제 재적용한 R 그룹으로 나누어서 처치하고 처치한 상아질에 셀룰로이드 캡슐을 이용해 레진 접착을 시행한다. 그리고 인스트론을 이용해 전단력을 측정한다. 통계 분석은 유의수준 0.05 이하로 비교했다. 결과: 대조군과 비교하였을 때, Visine을 제외한 모든 지혈제에서 평균 결합력이 낮아짐을 볼 수 있었으나 통계적으로는 유의할만한 차이는 없었다. 또한 린스만 한 N군과 산부식제 재적용한 R군을 비교했을 때 모든 군에서 결합력 증가가 있었으나 통계적으로는 유의할만한 차이는 없었다. 결론: 임상에서 적용하는 30초의 짧은 적용 시간에는 pH에 따른 지혈제의 영향은 결합력에 영향을 줄 만큼 크지 않고 산부식제 재적용 등 다른 처치를 하지 않아도 린스를 하는 것만으로도 충분히 결합력 회복이 가능하다는 결론을 도출하게 되어 임상과정을 간단하게 하는데 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.
