A new experimental technique is proposed to localize the flow limiting segment(FLS) during forced expiration. The present technique is based on the pressure drip across FLS and a consequent change in airway resistance, which can provide an accurate and objective location of FLS. During forced expiratory maneuver artificially induced by a strong negative pressure (-100mmHg) applied at the trachea in an anesthetized open chest dog, airway resistance( R) was calculated from air flow and airway pres- sure signals at various airway locations and lung volumes, At the lung volumes above 10 % VC, FLS located in the trachea 6cm lower from the larynx. With the lung volume decreased below 8% VC, FLS jumped upstream to End-3rd generation of the airway. These results were similar with the previous reports from excised dog lungs, which demonstrated the validity of the present technique. Since the present technique provides a more objective measure of FLS location, it would be useful in future studies of expiratory flow limitation.

Current fighter pilots, flying new generation aircrafts with high performance, are under severe stress during aerial combat maneuvering when they are exposed to high sustained +Gz(Head-to-foot) acceleration stress. Two major factor limiting performance during high sustaied +Gz acceleration stress are loss of vision-greyout or blackout, and loss of consciousness (LOC). These symptoms are believed to occur as a result of insuff- icient blood flow to the retina and the brain. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of high sustained +Gz stress under different seat back angle. The results. obtained by the biodvanmic computer simulations using the ATB(articulated total body) model, are represented with respect to three variables, such as HIC(head injury criterion) value, average G, and maximum G. The results demonstrate that the seat back angle(over $30^{\circ}C$) had a significant effect to decrease +Gz stress on the head segment and had no significant effect on HIC.

본 보에서는 축대칭포텐시얼유동에 대한 경계적분방정식의 해법이 제시된다. 이 문제는 고리용출점과 고리보오텍스에 의해서 표시되는데 이들의 세기는 한 구간내에서 매개변수 $\zeta$의 선형함수로 근사된다. 물체의 형상은 3차 B-spline으로 표시된다. 속도가 계산되는 점이 고리용출점이나 고리보오텍스에 접근할 때의 극한표현식이 $\zeta{ln}\zeta$항까지 유도된다. 수치계산에서 양 옆구간에 의한 주치적분은 정확하게 서로 상쇄되기 때문에 특이점에 의한 유기속도중 $\(\frac{1}{\zeta}\)$에 비례하는 항은 계산에서 제외된다. 그리고 ${ln}\zeta$에 비례하는 항과 $\zeta{ln}\zeta$에 비례하는 항은 해석적으로 적분이 가능하기 때문에 수치계산에서 이에 비례하는 항을 빼고 계산한 후 해석적으로 계산한 값을 더해 준다. 기타 수치적분은 4점 Gaussian Quadrature 공식에 의해서 수행되었다. 수렴률을 정하기 위하여 구간의 개수에 따른 평균자승근오차를 조사하였으며, 이 방법의 수렴률은 2에 접근점이 밝혀졌다.
