In an earlier publication (Serrano et al. 2014), the theoretical basis for evaluating the shear strength in rock joints was presented and used to derive an equation that governs the relationship between tangential and normal stresses on the joint during slippage between the joint faces. In this paper, the theoretical equation is applied to two non-linear failure criteria by using non-associated flow laws, including the modified Hoek and Brown and modified Mohr-Coulomb equations. The theoretical model considers the geometric dilatancy, the instantaneous friction angle, and a parameter that considers joint surface roughness as dependent variables. This model uses a similar equation structure to the empirical law that was proposed by Barton in 1973. However, a good correlation with the empirical values and, therefore, Barton's equation is necessary to incorporate a non-associated flow law that governs breakage processes in rock masses and becomes more significant in highly fractured media, which can be induced in a rock joint. A linear law of dilatancy is used to assess the importance of the non-associated flow to obtain very close values for different roughness states, so the best results are obtained for null material dilatancy, which considers significant changes that correspond to soft rock masses or altered zones of weakness.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical experience with arthroscopic debridement for septic arthritis of the shoulder joint and to report on our patient outcomes. Methods: The retrospective analysis included 36 shoulders (male:female, 15:21), contributed by 35 patients (mean age, 63.8 years) treated by arthroscopy for septic arthritis of the shoulder between November 2003 and February 2016. The mean follow-up period was 14.3 months (range, 12-33 months). An additional posterolateral portal and a 70° arthroscope was used to access the posteroinferior glenohumeral (GH) joint and posteroinferior subacromial (SA) space, respectively. Irrigation was performed with a large volume of fluid (25.1±8.1 L). Multiple suction drains (average, 3.3 drains) were inserted into the GH joint and SA space and removed 8.9±4.3 days after surgery. Intravenous antibiotics were administered for 3.9±1.8 weeks after surgery, followed by oral antibiotic treatment for another 3.6±1.9 weeks. Results: Among the 36 shoulders, reoperation was required in two cases (5.6%). The average range of motion achieved was 150.0° for forward flexion and T9 for internal rotation. The mean simple shoulder test score was 7.9±3.6 points. Nineteen shoulders (52.8%) had acupuncture or injection history prior to the infection. Pathogens were identified in 15 shoulders, with Staphylococcus aureus being the most commonly identified pathogen (10/15). Both the GH joint and the SA space were involved in 21 shoulders, while 14 cases involved only the GH joint and one case involved only the SA space. Conclusions: Complete debridement using an additional posterolateral portal and 70° arthroscope, a large volume of irrigation with >20 L of saline, and multiple suction drains may reduce the reoperation rate.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is frequently associated with inflammatory lesions of the spine and continuous fatigue stress fractures; however, an association with an intraspinal synovial cyst has not been previously reported. A 55-year-old man with a five year history of AS who presented with back pain and a right radiculopathy was admitted to the hospital. Five years previously, he underwent a percutaneous vertebroplasty for an osteoporotic L1 compression fracture, and was diagnosed with AS at that time. Plain radiographs showed aggravated kyphosis and a stress fracture through the ossified posterior element, below the prior vertebroplasty. Magnetic resonance images revealed a right foraminal cystic lesion at the L2-L3 level with effacement of the nerve root. A 1.6 cm cystic lesion that appeared to arise from the L2-L3 facet joint without direct communication was excised from the L2-L3 foramen. Pathological examination confirmed synovial cyst. The patient's symptoms resolved immediately after surgery except for a mild dysesthesia of the right leg. We report herein a rare case of foraminal synovial cyst associated with AS accompanying posterior element fracture with a review of literature.

본 연구에서는 핫스템핑 소재로 사용되는 보론합금강판 22MnB5의 단일 겹치기 점용접에서 용접부의 강도 향상을 위한 최적화를 수행하였다. 최적화 과정은 다구찌 실험계획법에 의해 행해졌으며 공정변수는 전류, 가압력 및 통전시간으로 선정하였고, 잡음인자로서 핫스템핑 시 소재의 가열온도와 유지시간을 고려하였다. 가열조건에 따라 22MnB5 표면의 알루미늄 도금층과 모재 간의 확산반응에 의해 화합물층 두께에 산포가 발생하였으며 이러한 산포는 너겟의 형성에 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 한편 용접부의 인장전단강도를 목적함수로 하였을 때, 이러한 가열조건에 강건한 최적의 용접 조건은 전류 8kA, 가압력 4kN, 통전시간 18cycle로 선정되었다. 최적 조건의 검증 결과 용접부의 인장전단강도 는 32kN으로서 요구되는 규격인 23kN보다 크게 증가되었다.

본 연구는 국내 현장에서 적용되고 있는 SRC 기둥-RC 보 강축 방향 접합부의 구조 성능을 평가하기 위하여 국내 현장 조사 및 기존 연구 자료를 기초로 접합부 상세를 분류하였고, 6개의 실험체를 제작하여 구조 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과로부터 하중-변위 이력 및 최대 내력 도달 이후의 내력 저하 등에 대한 거동을 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 넓은 보 단면 (RCW-P, RCW-W, RCW-F) 및 T형 보 단면 (RCT-W) 실험체들이 H형강 브라켓 부착형 실험체(HBR-L, HBR-S)에 비해 대체로 우수한 구조적 거동을 보여주었으며, 설계 내력을 상회하는 내력을 보유하고 있었다. 또한 현장에서 적용하여도 무리가 없는 것으로 판단된다. 특히, T형 보 단면 (RCT-W)을 갖는 실험체가 최대 내력 및 최대 내력 도달 이후 강도 저하 등 전반적으로 다른 접합 형태를 갖는 실험체에 비해 우수한 구조 성능을 보유하고 있었다. 그리고 H형강 브라켓 부착형 실험체들 (HBR-L, HBR-S)은 설계 내력에 미치지 못한 최대 내력을 보여 주었고 최대 내력 도달 이후 급격한 하중 저하를 나타내며 취성적인 거동을 보였다.

Facet joint synovial cysts are uncommon intraspinal abnormalities, which appear to be secondary to degenerative changes of the joints. They can cause chronic back pain and radiculopathy, as shown in spinal stenosis. When symptomatic cysts fail to respond to conservative measurements, surgical decompression is known as the standard treatment. Percutaneous steroid injections, and distension of the cysts under fluoroscopic guidance, may be a minimally invasive treatment option. Here, the case of a patient with a symptomatic L5-S1 facet joint synovial cyst and left S1 radiculopathy, who responded satisfactorily to percutaneous treatment, is presented.

At present. about 0.3 million and more THRs (Total Hip Replacement) in a rear are being done worldwide. The increase in mechanical failure with the increase in THR, required more revisions. Revisions compensate mainly the wear of the artificial joint frictional surface and the loosening of the cup and stem. According to recent researches, loosening is mainly due to wear debris UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) from frictional surfaces . To overcome the wear problems associated with artificial joint materials , new surface structures with regular Patterns were designed and fabricated The lubrication Properties were examined to evaluate the wear of the frictional surfaces. The surface structure manifested a Pattern of "dents" with a 0.2-1.0 mm of diameter and 0.6-2.0 mm of Pitch. From the friction test of the SUS316L vs UHMWPE using the frictional tester, we found that the lubrication Performance was improved due to of drastically reduced amount of abrasion. There were optimum sizes for the diameter and the pitch of the Pattern. The results demonstrated that the lubrication properties could be improved by Patterning of the frictional surfaces. The surface Patterning was effective in preventing wear of the frictional surfaces, and the life of an artificial joint could be extended with such Patterning.

Carroll과 Ruppert(1988)는 준가능도(quasi-likelihood)를 이용하여 에스트라제 측정자료를 회귀분석하였다. Jung과 Lee(1997)는 준가능도을 이용한 회귀분석모형의 적합도정통계량을 제안하였으며 검정 별과 기각되지 않아 본 분석모형이 타당하다고 주장하였다. 그러나 Lee와 Nelder(1998)의 잔차그림을 검토한 결과, 상기 모형으로는 평균증가에 따른 분산증가를 충분히 반영할 수 없었다. 본 논문에서는 Lee와 Nelder(1998)의 평균과 분산의 동시모형으로 에스트라제 자료를 재분석하고 잔차그림을 이용하여 모형의 타당성을 재평가하였다. 또한 분산에서 산포모형에 대한 적합도검정에는 Lee와 Nelder(1998)의 제한가능도(restricted likelihood)에 근거한 검정법이 보다 적절함을 제시하였다.

In this paper, to access the suitability of recycled aggregate for structural applications, concrete strength i.e., compressive, tensile and flexural strength were evaluated and compared with those specimens made of natural aggregates. Test results indicated that 30 to 42% of the mentioned strength decreases. To study the performance of frame structures made of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) two reinforced RAC frames were prepared and tested under monotonic loading. The joint regions of one of the RAC frame were casted with micro-concrete. A reference specimen was also prepared using natural aggregate concrete (NAC) and subjected to a similar loading condition. The RAC frame resulted in a brittle mode of failure as compared to NAC frame. However, the presence of a micro-concrete at the joint region of an RAC frame improved the damage tolerance and load resisting capacity. Seismic parameter such as energy dissipation, ductility and stiffness also improves. Conclusively, strengthening of joint region using micro-concrete is found to have a significant contribution in improving the seismic performance of an RAC frame.
