  • The purpose of this study is to assess the stability of tunnel for a high speed railway crossing the fault zone. The area where the tunnel crossed the fault zone can be unstable during construction and operation. Geotechnical investigations have been conducted to determine an optimum excavation method by obtaining the material properties around the fault zone and to check the stability of the tunnel. For the numerical analysis, the FLAC, numerical analysis code based on finite difference method, was utilized to analyze the behavior of the fault at three points having typical ground conditions. Based on the results of numerical analysis, the combinations of compaction grouting and LW grouting were determined as suitable methods for pre-excavation Improvement of the ground surrounding the tunnel opening. In conclusion, the stability of the tunnel construction for the high speed railway within the fault zone may be obtained by adopting the optimum excavation method and the reinforcement method. The numerical analysis based on FLAC program contains errors caused by assumptions used in numerical analysis, therefore constant monitoring with respect to the change of ground condition and groundwater is highly recommended to minimize the numerical error and the possibility of damage to tunnel.

  • It is generally accepted that the surface quality of wafer edge is mostly damaged by the vibrations of the edge grinding machine. The surface quality of wafer edge is supposed to be the most dominant factor of the cracks, scratches, burrs and chips on the edge surfaces, which are the main defects of the wafers. In this study, the structure of a wafer edge grinder has been investigated through the frequency response experiment and the computer simulation to find ways to suppress the vibrations from the structure. The main reasons of the structural vibrations were analyzed. And further the design alterations were deduced from the results of the experiment and the simulation, and applied to the machine to check the effects of those alterations and to eventually improve the structural stability. The result shows that the machine can have much improved stability with relatively simple design changes.

  • Environmental-friendly and economical construction are the recent issues for civil structures and soilbag as facing wall is widely used for cut-slope remediation projects. However, the stability of structures is an important issue for the use of environmental-friendly and economical materials. In order to understand the stability of soilbag reinforced retaining wall, tensile resistance, rupture, tensile strength, and internal/external safety factor of the wall were analyzed with MSEW program and the results were compared to the safety factor of block-type reinforced walls. The stability of retaining wall was analyzed with reduction coefficients of connection strength to check the connection stability. Because it is possible to move between soilbag and geogrid connector for soilbag retaining wall, the safety factor of the wall was analyzed with different inclination angles of soilbag. The analysis result shows that the connection strength and internal/external stability of soilbag reinforced wall satisfy the stability criteria.

  • Statement of problem: Conventional mandibular complete denture lacks in support and stability for edentulous patients to use. Purpose: To enhance support and stability of mandibular complete denture, 2 implants were inserted on the inter-mental foramina space of edentulous patients. With 2 magnetic attachments on the inner side of the overdenture, we gave immediate loads and evaluated the stability of the implants, the responses of the supporting tissues, and the satisfaction of the patients. Material & methods: 6 edentulous patients (5 male, 1 female) each recieved 2 SLA implants in the inter-mental foramina region and implants were immediately loaded with overdenture with magnet attachments. To evaluate the implants stability and the peri-implant tissues, clinical exams, RFA tests and radiographic exams were preformed at the 1 week, 2wks, 6wks, 12wks, and 24wks. post- surgery. Results: The mean surgery time was $45.7{\pm}7.7mins$., while the denture delivery time was $45.5{\pm}12.6mins$. Only 2 of 14 implants were failed. Survived implants that remained were clincally and radiographically stable. Mean ISQ values were relatively stable, showing $69.71{\pm}5.55$, $69.00{\pm}9.48$, $67.92{\pm}7.86$, $67.92{\pm}9.58$, $70.08{\pm}7.61$, $71.92{\pm}6.43$ at the 1 wk, 2 wks, 6 wks, 12 wks, 24 wks. follow up check. Crestal bone changes were $-1.18mm{\pm}0.68mm$, $-1.35{\pm}0.69mm$, $-1.47{\pm}0.68mm$ at the 6wks, 12wks, 24wks. follow up check. Bleeding on probing(BOP index) was not significant. Conclusion: Mandibular ovedentures with 2 magnetic attachments over two interforaminal implants on edentulous patients for immediate function is a recommendable novel treatment for edentulous patients which shows stability on the implants and supporting tissue.

  • $\sub$e/$\^$2/, that were results from those three sources of such imperfection. Especially to eliminate the differences in severity among many raters the randomization procedure of raters sample was very effective in enhancing the reliability of ratings with comparatively small groups of examinees and raters. And we also introduced the new rating methods, i.e. the 2-step diagnostic procedures to check the sizes of the reliability stability of raters and the sore adjustment method to enumerate the optimal mean values in rating the examinees.

  • In this paper, we design the $H_{\infty}$ controllers satisfying robust stability and performance for underwater vehicle. The underwater vehicle has computations delay time and input delay. In addition, there exist parameter uncertainties by the roll motion coefficient error, buoyance error, and gravity error. We design the $H_{\infty}$ controllers using model-matching method and check the performance of the proposed controller by nonlinear simulation which includes time delay model, sensor error model, and actuator model.

  • A tetrahedral mesh generation scheme using 3-D operators has been presented. The proposed scheme employs new 3-D operators such as rearranging and modified finishing operators in addition to the previous trimming, wedging, digging, splitting and finishing operators. These new operators have been introduced in order to increase the stability of mesh generation process. Check processings with surrounded element edges and faces have also been optimized by employing a searching algorithm. Sample meshes are constructed to demonstrate the mesh generating capability of the proposed algorithm.

  • This study provides analytical evaluation of the Dual-Ann Work Module. The current hydraulic system was modeled using the HyPneu and analyzed to find the cause of the instability. The cause of the instability was determined to be primarily an interacting involving the pilot operated check valves and the counterbalance valves for fail safe mode of operation. A new design concept was developed to eliminate the potential for unstable operation while adequately meeting the need for a fail-safe feature.
