The purpose of this study was to evaluate the torque effect of othodontic wires. Ten types of orthodontic wires (five types of materials, two types of cross-sectional dimensions) were selected. Each group of ire type was constituted with five specimens. These specimens were tested on the universal testing machine(Instron) with specially-designed jig. The torque-twist curve of each wire was obtained and the results were analyzed statistically. The results were as follows. 1. 0.017'$\times$ 0.025' wire showed more torque effect than 0.016'$\times$ 0.022' wire at the same twist. 2.Torque effect was the greatest in stainless steel and the least in Nitinol. 3.The maximum amount of torque was the greatest in heat-treated Blue Elgiloy and the least in Nitinol.

In this paper, hydraulic damper was studied to solve vibration problems of bridge, structures and several mechanic parts rising magnetic fluid. The damper was modeled using Magneto Rheological fluid and MR damper was manufactured on the basis of design drawing. To investigate the efficacy of magneto rheological phenomenon. experiments were performed on the several design parameters using Universal Testing Machine(UTM). Damping efficacy were examined by frequencies. displacement and electric currents through experiments.

In object analysis, line and curve finding plays a universal role. And, it can be accomplished by detecting ridges and ravines in digital gray-scale images. In this paper, we present a new method of detecting ridges and ravines by using local min and max operations. This method uses erosion and dilation properties of these fuzzy logic operations and requires no information of ridge or ravine direction, so that the method is simple and easy in comparison with the conventional analytical methods. The experimental results show that the technique has a strong ability in finding ridges and ravines.

We have identified two new features related to the coherent transport in the mesoscopic loop structure of aluminum wire, including the autocorrelation of the conductance fluctuations beyond $B_c$ and fine structure in the low-field magnetoresistance curve in the superconducting transition regime, which, to the best of our knowledge, have not been reported in the literature. Since the electrons in Al have a phase coherence length larger than $1\;{\mu}m$ at or below T = 3K, which is comparable to the dimensions of the structure, the wave nature of the electronic transport has been clearly observed: the universal conductance fluctuations, the Aharonov-Bohm oscillations, and the Altshuler-Aronov-Spivak oscillations. Due to the transition of Al to a superconducting state at T = 1.3 K, the coherent phenomena of Cooper pairs, i.e., the Little-Parks oscillations, have also been observed.

An Articulated tower is one of the compliant offshore structures connected to the sea-bed through a universal joint which is the most vulnerable location of the tower that sustains the randomly fluctuating shear stresses. The time history response of the bottom hinge shear is obtained and presented in the spectral form. The fatigue and fracture reliability assessment of the tower joint against randomly varying shear stresses have been carried out. Non-linear limit state functions are derived in terms of important random variables using S-N curve and fracture mechanics approaches. Advanced First Order Reliability Method is used for reliability assessment. Sensitivity analysis shows the influence of various variables on the hinge safety. Fatigue life estimation has been made using probabilistic approach.

In this research, the tensile strength of molded parts and pressure distribution were analyzed to study the cavity filling stage and packing stage in injection molding. The measurement of cavity pressure was obtained by a data acquisition system with the installation of transducers in the cavity. Molded parts were tested by a universal testing machine to obtain the tensile strength. For the experimental work, the tensile strength of molded parts increased with longer packing time and exact freezing time of the gate was obtained by a cavity pressure curve. In addition, the effect of packing did not occur and tensile strength was almost constant after early 1.5 sec of the freezing time of gate. Density tended to be higher about 0.2% due to a larger degree of mold temperature and melt temperature. Also, changing pressure in the cavity was effectively sensed. Thereafter, the possibility of the development of pattern recognition expert system was confirmed on the basis of the experimental results.

The cyclical behavior of Alloy 617 was examined at 25 ℃ and high temperatures of 800, 850, 900, and 950 ℃ in air to obtain its fatigue life curves. The specimens tested at 25, 800, and 850 ℃ cyclically hardened, whereas those tested above 900 ℃ cyclically softened from the first cycle, that is, their fatigue life was reduced at high temperatures owing to loss of strength. Parameters of the typical Coffin-Manson-Basquin relationship were determined for each test temperature. Interestingly, no significant difference in fatigue life was observed for the specimens tested in the range of 800-950 ℃. Owing to the similarity in fatigue life, we determined fatigue strength and fatigue ductility exponents that could be applied for this temperature range. The parameters obtained were close to the universal slopes, although the fatigue ductility exponent was slightly different. The proposed fatigue life curves were compared with those presented in ASME code.

Background: Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MSMS) for simultaneous analysis of multiple microbial secondary metabolites (MSMs) is potentially subject to interference by matrix components. Methods: We examined potential matrix effects (MEs) in analyses of 31 MSMs using ultraperformance LC-MSMS. Twenty-one dust aliquots from three buildings (seven aliquots/building) were spiked with seven concentrations of each of the MSMs ($6.2pg/{\mu}l-900pg/{\mu}l$) and then extracted. Another set of 21 aliquots were first extracted and then, the extract was spiked with the same concentrations. We added deepoxy-deoxynivalenol (DOM) to all aliquots as a universal internal standard. Ten microliters of the extract was injected into the ultraperformance LC-MSMS. ME was calculated by subtracting the percentage of the response of analyte in spiked extract to that in neat standard from 100. Spiked extract results were used to create a matrix-matched calibration (MMC) curve for estimating MSM concentration in dust spiked before extraction. Results: Analysis of variance was used to examine effects of compound (MSM), building and concentration on response. MEs (range: 63.4%-99.97%) significantly differed by MSM (p < 0.01) and building (p < 0.05). Mean percent recoveries adjusted with DOM and the MMC method were 246.3% (SD = 226.0) and 86.3% (SD = 70.7), respectively. Conclusion: We found that dust MEs resulted in substantial underestimation in quantifying MSMs and that DOM was not an optimal universal internal standard for the adjustment but that the MMC method resulted in more accurate and precise recovery compared with DOM. More research on adjustment methods for dust MEs in the simultaneous analyses of multiple MSMs using LC-MSMS is warranted.
