The purpose of this study was to examine, by the method of finite element analysis, how implant geometry with or without connection between natural tooth and osseointegrated abutments affected the stress distribution in surrounding bone and osseointegrated prosthesis. The mandibular first and second molars were removed and the two osseointegrated implants were placed in the first and second molar sites. Stress analysis induced by prostheses with connection(Model A)or without connection(Model B) between natural tooth(second bicuspid) and two osseointegrated abutments(first molar and second molar) was performed under vertical point load(Load P1) or distributed point load(Load P2). The results were as follows; 1. Under vertical point load, mesial tilting was shown in both Model A and Model B and inferior displacement of Model A was greater than that of Model B in the second bicuspid. 2. Under vortical point load, the first and second molars showed mesial tilting in both Model A and Model B, and inferior displacement of them was similar in Model A and Model B and was less than that of the second bicuspid. 3. Under distributed point load, mesial displacement was shown in Model A and Model B and inferior displacement of Model A was less than that of Model B in the second bicuspid. 4. Under distributed point load, mesial tilting was shown and inferior displacement of Model A was similar to that of Model B in the first and second molars. 5. In Model A under vertical point load, high stress was concentrated in the corneal portion of first molar and distributed throughout the second molar and the second bicuspid, and the stress distribution of the second molar was greater than that of the second bicuspid. 6. In Model B under vertical point load, high stress was concentrated in the coronal and mesio-cervical portion of the first molar. 7. In Model A under distributed point load, high stress was concentrated in the mesio-cervical portion of the first molar and evenly distributed throughout the second molar and the second bicuspid. 8. In Model B under distributed point load, high stress was concentrated in the disto-cervical portion of the second bicuspid and evenly distributed throughout the first and second molars.

A mixture preparation strategy was proposed and evaluated in a diesel-natural gas dual-fuel engine to reduce hydrocarbon (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions under low load conditions. An experimental investigation was conducted in a single-cylinder compression-ignition engine. Natural gas was supplied with air during the intake stroke, and diesel was injected directly into the combustion chamber during the compression stroke. First, effects of diesel start of energizing (SOE) and natural gas substitution ratio on the combustion and exhaust gas emissions were analyzed. Based on the results, the mixture preparation strategy was established. A low natural gas substitution ratio and a high exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) rate were effective in reducing the HC and CO emissions.

The vehicle loading test under the strict traffic control is generally carried out as a present practice in an evaluation process of the bearing capacity of a bridge. The quasi-static load test is recently proposed to mitigate the traffic condition of test, and analyze the disturbed acceleration time-history data of free vibration due to the ambient traffic on the bridge by Fourier transform to calculate only the natural frequencies of the bridge. The calculated frequencies have some errors due to the analysis technique as well as the influence of ambient traffic loads, and in addition to it is cumbersome to obtain the free vibration data during a quasi-static load test. In this study, the wavelet transform technique using Morlet wavelet is used to analyze the acceleration data recorded during a quasi-static load test on a bridge and calculate the natural frequencies and the modal damping ratios of the bridge. The study results show that the wavelet transform technique is a reliable and reasonable method to analyze test data and obtain the natural frequencies and the modal damping ratios of a bridge regardless of the data types i.e. free or forced vibrations.

In order to reduce damage from natural disasters, prevention activities through analysis and predicting based on meteorological factor and damage data is required. Other countries already have continuously studied on natural disasters and developed reducing disasters damage. But the risk assessment model for natural disaster is not to Korea. Therefore, a previous model of hurricane, Florida Public Hurricane Loss Model(FPHLM), is the basis and is applying to domestic situation. Accordingly, this study introduces the variables selecting process because input variables should be selected under Korea present state and be used. The estimating representative damage method would be necessary along with selecting housing types representing relevant areas because estimating damage amount of all over relevant areas housing was very hard during damage estimating process. But there is no exact representative housing types in the Korea. Therefore, we select housing types applicable to risk assessment model for natural disasters representing the Korea through previous studies and literature reviews. We using ASCE 7-98(Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, 1998) standard which estimated wind load using 3-second gust. ASCE 7-98 divided Main Wind Force Resistance System(MWFRS) and Component and Cladding(C&C) and it estimated wind load. Therefore, we estimate wind load affected by 3-second gust of a typhoon Maemi through calculating wind load process using selected representative detached house types in the process of selecting input variables for previous disaster predict model. The result of houses damage amount is about 230 hundred million won. This values are limit the 1-story detached dwelling, 19~29pyeong(62.81~95.56 $m^2$) of total area and flat roof. Therefore, this process is possible application to other type houses.

The current ASME code for reinforced concrete containment structures are not based on probability concepts. The stochastic nature of natural hazard or accidental loads and the variations of material properties require a probabilistic approach for a rational assessment of structural safety and performance. The paper develops design load factors for the serviceability limit state of reinforced concrete containment structures. The target limit state probability is determined and the load factors are calculated by the numerical analysis. Design load factors are proposed and carried out the reliability assessments.

Natural periods are usually determined by the so-called linearized finite displacement theory even for a suspension bridge. This linearized method, with formulating structural stiffness by taking dead-load tension into consideration, calculates the natural periods of the bridge. As a result, the assumed initial tensions for each cable member may affect the accuracy of calculated natural periods and some other dynamic responses. This paper mainly demonstrates the effect of initially introduced tension accuracy on the evaluation of dynamic characteristics for a suspension bridge.

In this, three types of natural gas were employed to investigate the effect of low-calorific natural gas on the performance of and emissions from a heavy-duty CNG engine. The performance and emission characteristics were analyzed by conducting a full-load test, WHSC mode test, and WHTC mode test. The results showed that the torque of low-calorific natural gas with $9,800kcal/Nm^3$ of higher heating value decreased by 4.4 compared to that of the current natural gas with $10,400kcal/Nm^3$ of heating value. With low-calorific fuels, CO, $CO_2$, and $NO_x$ emissions decreased. However, THC emissions increased. According to the WHSC and WHTC mode test results, the thermal efficiency increased and the emission characteristics showed a similar trend to the full-load test results. Low-calorific natural gases cause a decrease in torque at full-load operation conditions and an increase in hydrocarbon emissions.

In this study, a series of dynamic centrifuge tests were performed for a soil-foundation-structural interaction system in dry sand with various embedded depths and superstructure conditions. Sinusoidal wave, sweep wave and real earthquake were used as input motion with various input acceleration and frequencies. Based on the results, a natural period and an earthquake load for soil-structure interaction system were evaluated by comparing the free-field and foundation accelerations. The natural period of free field is longer than that of the soil-foundation-structure system. In addition, it is confirmed that the earthquake load for soil-foundation-structure system is smaller than that of free-field in short period region. In contrast, the earthquake load for soil-foundation-structure interaction system is larger than that of free-field in long period region. Therefore, the current seismic design method, applying seismic loading of free-field to foundation, could overly underestimate seismic load and cause unsafe design for long period structures, such as high-rise buildings.

The effect of central axial load on natural frequencies of various thin-walled beams, are investigated by some researchers using different methods such as finite element, transfer matrix and dynamic stiffness matrix methods. However, there are situations that the load will be off centre. This type of loading is called eccentric load. The effect of the eccentricity of axial load on the natural frequencies of asymmetric thin-walled beams is a subject that has not been investigated so far. In this paper, the mentioned effect is studied using exact dynamic stiffness matrix method. Flexure and torsion of the aforesaid thin-walled beam is based on the Bernoulli-Euler and Vlasov theories, respectively. Therefore, the intended thin-walled beam has flexural rigidity, saint-venant torsional rigidity and warping rigidity. In this paper, the Hamilton‟s principle is used for deriving governing partial differential equations of motion and force boundary conditions. Throughout the process, the uniform distribution of mass in the member is accounted for exactly and thus necessitates the solution of a transcendental eigenvalue problem. This is accomplished using the Wittrick-Williams algorithm. Finally, in order to verify the accuracy of the presented theory, the numerical solutions are given and compared with the results that are available in the literature and finite element solutions using ABAQUS software.
