본 연구에서는 MR유체를 특징으로 하는 하지 재활운동 기구를 제안하고, 재활운동 기구에 적용하기 위한 소형 MR 유체 브레이크를 설계, 제작하여 성능을 평가하였다. MR유체 브레이크의 저항 특성은 MR유체에 부하되는 자기장의 변화에 의해 제어된다. 공간 제한을 고려하여 자기장 세기와 관련된 설계변수는 유한요소 프로그램인 ANSYS Workbench를 사용하여 최대 토오크가 발생할 수 있도록 결정하였다. 제안된 MR유체 브레이크를 제작하고, 자기장에 따른 토오크의 변화를 실험적으로 평가하였다. 전류를 공급하면, MR 유체 브레이크의 토오크는 증가하였으며, 그 반응은 매우 빠르게 나타났다. 공급하는 전류의 세기가 증가함에 따라 MR 유체 브레이크의 토오크는 MR유체의 빙햄 특성과 유사하게 증가하여 나타났다.

Objective: Meningeal lymphatic vessels are predominantly located in the parasagittal dural space (PSD); these vessels drain interstitial fluids out of the brain and contribute to the glymphatic system. We aimed to investigate the ability of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) in assessing the dynamic changes in the meningeal lymphatic vessels in PSD. Materials and Methods: Eighteen participants (26-71 years; male:female, 10:8), without neurological or psychiatric diseases, were prospectively enrolled and underwent DCE-MRI. Three regions of interests (ROIs) were placed on the PSD, superior sagittal sinus (SSS), and cortical vein. Early and delayed enhancement patterns and six kinetic curve-derived parameters were obtained and compared between the three ROIs. Moreover, the participants were grouped into the young (< 65 years; n = 9) or older (≥ 65 years; n = 9) groups. Enhancement patterns and kinetic curve-derived parameters in the PSD were compared between the two groups. Results: The PSD showed different enhancement patterns than the SSS and cortical veins (P < 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively) in the early and delayed phases. The PSD showed slow early enhancement and a delayed wash-out pattern. The six kinetic curve-derived parameters of PSD was significantly different than that of the SSS and cortical vein. The PSD washout rate of older participants was significantly lower (median, 0.09; interquartile range [IQR], 0.01-0.15) than that of younger participants (median, 0.32; IQR, 0.07-0.45) (P = 0.040). Conclusion: This study shows that the dynamic changes of meningeal lymphatic vessels in PSD can be assessed with DCE-MRI, and the results are different from those of the venous structures. Our finding that delayed wash-out was more pronounced in the PSD of older participants suggests that aging may disturb the meningeal lymphatic drainage.

In this paper, a steady axisymmetric MHD flow of two dimensional incompressible fluids is studied under the influence of a uniform transverse magnetic field. The governing equations are reduced to nonlinear boundary value problem by applying the integribility conditions. Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method (OHAM) is applied to obtain solution of reduced fourth order nonlinear boundary value problem. For comparison, the same problem is also solved by Variational Iteration Method (VIM).

MR (Magneto Rheological) fluids are well known as a smart fluid and their application researches to control vibration have been conducted by many researchers. However, their dynamic properties have not been identified clearly yet. Therefore, the MR effect is investigated by using a rotational viscometer and a single degree of freedom system with an MR damper. The results obtained from the experimental study show that stiffness and viscous damping coefficients of the system with an MR damper are changed according to the variation of the applied current.

자성유체는 암 치료와 질병진단 등과 같은 다양한 분야에서 유용한 응용의 가능성을 갖는다 [1]. 생리적 염도인 중성 pH에서 생체조직과 잘 교합하고, 높은 안정성을 가지는 자성유체는 자성 나노입자 표면에 화학적으로 흡착된 계면활성제 종류에 따라 달라진다 [2]. 본 실험에서는 화학적 공침법을 이용하여 Fe$^{2+}$와 Fe$^{3+}$ 의 몰비가 1:2인 수용액에 pH 12 이상의 과잉 알칼리(NH$_4$OH 12ml)를 첨가시켜 마그네타이트 콜로이드 용액을 제조하였다. 광감제로는 hematoporphyin을 사용하였으며 투입량은 1$\times$$10^{-3}$mol/l 였다. 또한 1차 및 2차 계면활성제로는 decanoic acid와 starch, citric acid, oleic acid 등이 각각 사용되었다. 각 계면활성제가 코팅된 자성미립자의 특성을 조사하기 위해 동결 건조 후 VSM, FT-IR 및 TEM 분석을 수행하여 자기적 특성과 코팅표면의 결합구조 및 미시적 구조를 분석하였다. 그리고, 각각의 계면활성제가 코팅된 자성유체의 독성을 조사하기 위해 rat를 이용한 생체실험이 병행되었다.

A polishing method using magnetorheological (MR) fluid has been developed as a new precision technique to obtain a fine surface. The process uses a MR fluid that consists of magnetic carbonyl iron (CI) particles, nonmagnetic polishing abrasives, water and stabilizers. But the CI particles in MR fluids cause a severe corrosion problem. When coated with Xanthan gum, the CI particles showed long-term stability in corrosive aqueous environment. The surface roughness obtained from the MR polishing process was evaluated. A series of experiments were performed on fused silica glass using prepared slurries and various process conditions, including different polishing times. Outstanding surface roughness of Ra=2.27nm was obtained on the fused silica glass. The present polishing method could be used to produce ultra-precision micro parts.

A feasibility study on the alternating jet flow under the static electromagnetic field was carried out. When a fluid with electrical conductivity lies in the static electromagnetic field and moves electric current occurs in the fluid. Due to the electromagnetic field and the electric current, lorentz force generates in the fluid, which undergo the 'breaking' effect to the fluid. In order to simulate the complex fluid flow in the magnetic field, electromagnetic and fluid flow analysis need to be solved simultaneously. In the present study, a SOLA (SOLution Algorithm) scheme was used in order to calculate electromagnetic and fluid flow field. Jet flow without an electromagnetic field was compared with analytical solution in order to validate the flow analysis scheme. Effect of jet velocity on the flow pattern down the jet was investigated.

A post-processing program based on the OOP(Object-Oriented Programming) concept has been developed for visualization of MRI. User-friendly GUl(Graphic User Interface) has been built on the base of MFC(Microsoft Foundation Class). The program is organized as modules by classes based on VTK-library, and these classes are made to function through inheritance and cooperation which are an important and valuable concept of object-oriented programming. The major functions of this post-processor program are introduced and demonstrated, which include contour plot, surface plots, cut plot and clip plot as well as view manipulation (translation, rotation, scaling etc).

In this study, we attempted to quantify the relative importance of assumptions regarding blood rheology. Three patient-specific carotid bifurcation geometries and time-varying flow rates were obtained using magnetic resonance imaging. For each subject, CFD simulations were carried out assuming two different non-Newtonian rheology models Carreau and Ballyk models) and rescaled Newtonian viscosities based on characteristic shear rates to account for the shear-thinning property of blood. The sensitivity of WSS and oscillatory shear index (OSI) were contextualized with respect to the reproducibility of the reconstructed geometry and to assumptions regarding the inlet boundary conditions. We conclude that the assumption of Newtonian fluid is reasonable for studies aimed at quantifying the distribution of WSS-based extrema in an image-based CFD model of carotid bifurcation.

열화학 기상합성법을 이용한 탄소나노튜브의 성장에서 촉매 금속 층의 형성 공정은 탄소나노튜브의 직경 및 길이를 제어해주는 가장 중요한 요소이다. 탄소나노튜브의 대량합성을 위해 자성유체를 이용한 촉매 금속 층의 손쉬운 형성공정을 개발하였다. 수용성 폴리비닐알코올과 마그네타이트 나노 입자들이 혼합된 자성유체를 다양한 기판에 스핀 코팅하여 촉매 금속 층을 간편하게 형성할 수 있었다. 자성유체 제조 시 혼합된 수용성 폴리비닐알코올은 자성유체용액의 점성을 증가 시켜 주었으며, 이러한 점성의 증가는 스핀 코팅 시 용액과 기판간의 접착력을 증대시켜 주었다. 또한 건조 과정 이후에도 잔류되어 탄소나노튜브 합성 공정 중에 촉매금속이 응집되는 현상을 방지 차여 균일한 입자 크기를 유지하도록 하였다. 이는 고밀도의 수직 배열된 탄소나노튜브의 성장의 직접적인 원인으로 생각된다. 또한 탄소나노 튜브의 대량 합성을 위해서 Si 기판 치에 알루미나와 금속 기판에서도 탄소나노튜브의 성장을 시도하였다.
