An artificial neural network (ANN) application is presented for flexural and axial vibration analysis of elastic beams with various support conditions. The first three natural frequencies of beams are obtained using multi layer neural network based back-propagation error learning algorithm. The natural frequencies of beams are calculated for six different boundary conditions via direct solution of governing differential equations of beams and Rayleigh's approximate method. The training of the network has been made using these data only flexural vibration case. The trained neural network, however, had been tested for cantilever beam (C-F), and both end free (F-F) in case the axial vibration, and clamped-clamped (C-C), and Guided-Pinned (G-P) support condition in case the flexural vibrations which were not included in the training set. The results found by using artificial neural network are sufficiently close to the theoretical results. It has been demonstrated that the artificial neural network approach applied in this study is highly successful for the purposes of free vibration analysis of elastic beams.

Nondestructive evaluation using surface waves needs an analytical solution for the reference value to compare with experimental data. Finite element analysis is very powerful tool to simulate the wave propagation, but has some defects. It is very expensive and high time-complexity for the required high resolution. For those reasons, it is hard to implement an optimization problem in the actual situation. The developed engine in this paper can substitute for the finite element analysis of surface waves propagation, and it accomplishes the fast analysis possible to be used in optimization. Including this artificial intelligence engine, most of soft computing algorithms can be applied on the special database. The database of surface waves propagation is easily constructed with the results of finite element analysis after reducing the dimensions of data. The principal wavelet-component analysis is an efficient method to simplify the transient wave signal into some representative peaks. At the end, artificial neural network based on the database make it possible to invent the artificial intelligence engine.

Smart structures are those structure that could adopt some behavior to prevent instability in their responses. The recognition of stability deterioration has been performed through rigid mathematical formulations in control theory and unpredicted results could not be addressed in control systems since they are able to only work under their predefined condition. On the other hand, incorporating all affecting parameters could result in high computational cost and delay time in the response of the systems. Artificial intelligence (AI) method has shown to be a promising methodology not only in the computer science by at everyday life and in engineering problems. In the present study, we exploit the capabilities of artificial intelligence method to obtain frequency response of a smart structure. In this regard, a comprehensive development of equations is presented using Hamilton' principle and first order shear deformation theory. The equations were solved by numerical methods and the results are used to train an artificial neural network (ANN). It is demonstrated that ANN modeling could provide accurate results in comparison to the numerical solutions and it take less time than numerical solution.

인공우식 유발 용액 제조 방법 중의 하나인 White의 방법에 사용되는 $Carbopol^{(R)}$ 907의 생산이 최근 중단되면서, 그동안 사용되어 왔던 $Carbopol^{(R)}$ 907을 대체할 새로운 법랑질 보호제가 요구되게 되었다. 기존 White의 방법에 따라 $Carbopol^{(R)}$ 907을 사용하여 제조하고, 같은 방법으로 $Carbopol^{(R)}$ 2050을 사용하여 인공 탈회 용액을 제조한 후, 1일부터 20일까지 법랑질 표면에 인공우식을 유발시키고 편광현미경으로 관찰하여 병소 깊이의 변화와 우식 양상을 평가하였다. 편광 현미경 소견을 관찰한 결과, $Carbopol^{(R)}$ 907과 $Carbopol^{(R)}$ 2050을 사용한 탈회 용액으로 유발된 인공 우식은 자연 발생의 치아우식증과 매우 유사한 소견을 보였다. $Carbopol^{(R)}$ 907과 $Carbopol^{(R)}$ 2050을 사용한 탈회 용액으로 인공 우식을 유발한 영구치 법랑질 병소의 탈회 기간 경과에 따른 병소 깊이를 회귀 분석한 결과, $Carbopol^{(R)}$ 907을 사용한 경우는 회귀식이 Y = 8.4X - 0.4이었고, $Carbopol^{(R)}$ 2050을 사용한 경우는 회귀식이 Y = 9.8X + 8.0이었다. $Carbopol^{(R)}$ 907을 사용한 경우에 대한 회귀식의 R square 값은 0.945이었고, $Carbopol^{(R)}$ 2050을 사용한 경우는 R square 값이 0.965로 나타났다. 초기 법랑질 우식 병소 연구에 있어 인공 우식 유발 용액 제조시에 $Carbopol^{(R)}$ 2050을 사용한 경우가 $Carbopol^{(R)}$ 907를 사용한 경우보다 병소 깊이 증가가 더 빠르게 나타났으며, 회귀 분석 결과에서 R square 값이 0.965와 0.945로 나타나 탈회 기간과 병소 깊이가 매우 높은 상관관계를 가지고 있으며, 병소 깊이의 조절이 매우 용이하다고 사료되었다.

Electronic properties of passive films formed on Ti at film formation potentials $(E_f)V_{SCE}$ in pH 8.5 buffer solution and in an artificial seawater were examined through the photocurrent measurement and Mott-Schottky analysis. The passive films formed on Ti in pH 8.5 buffer solution exhibited a n-type semiconductor with a band gap energys $(E_g);E_g^{n=2}=3.4$ eV for nondirect electron transition, and $E_g^{n=0.5}=3.7$ eV for direct electron transition. These band gap values were almost same as those for the passive films formed in artificial seawater, indicating that chloride ion ($Cl^-$ in solution did not affect the electronic structure of the passive film on Ti. $E_g$ for passive films formed on Ti were found to be greater than those ($E_g^{n=0.5}=3.1$ eV, $E_g^{n=2}=3.4$) for a thermal oxide film formed on Ti in air at $400^{\circ}C$. The disorder energy of passive film, determined from the absorption tail of photocurrent spectrum, was much greater than that for the thermal oxide film farmed on Ti in air at $400^{\circ}C$. The greater $E_g$ and the higher disorder energy for the passive film compared with those for the thermal oxide fIlm suggest that the passive film on Ti exhibited more disorded structure than the thermal oxide film. The donor density (about $2.4{\times}10^{20}cm^{-3}$) for the passive film formed in artificial seawater was greater than that (about $20{\times}10^{20}cm^{-3}$) formed in pH 8.5 buffer solution, indicating that $Cl^-$ increased the donor density for the passive film on Ti.

Recently root caries is reported as an increasing oral disease Many researchers studied in vivo and in vitro enamel lesions but due to its peculiar structure and different chemical composition compared to the enamel, little effort has been made to root caries study. The purpose of this study is to compare and to evaluate the effect of pH on the progression of artificial root caries lesion. Under the constant degree of saturation, the specimens were divided into 4 groups(pH 4.3, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0). Each group was immersed in acid buffer solution for 1, 3, 5, 7 days and examined using the polarizing microscope. The results were as follows: 1. The body of the lesion in the dentin showed higher degree of positive birefringence compared to sound dentin. 2. The rate of progression of the lesion slowed as the pH increased. 3. In all groups, the lesion progressed rapidly at the initiation or the experiment but increased gradually as time elapsed. In conclusion, the study shows that the pH in the acid buffer solution influenced the rate of progression of the lesion in artificial root caries. Compared to the previous enamel study, the initial pattern of the lesion progressed rapidly and as time elapsed increased gradually.

Titanium and its alloy have been widely used in dental implant and orthopedic prostheses. Electrochemical characteristics of dental implant in the various simulated body fluids have been researched by using electrochemical methods. Ti-6Al-4V alloy implant was used for corrosion test in 0.9% NaCl, artificial saliva and simulated body fluids. The surface morphology was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The electrochemical stability was investigated using potentiosat (EG&G Co, 263A). The corrosion surface was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). From the results of potentiodynamic test in various solution, the current density of implant tested in SBF and AS solution was lower than that of implant tested in 0.9% NaCl solution. From the results of passive film stability test, the variation of current density at constant 250 mV showed the consistent with time in the case of implant tested in SBF and AS solution, whereas, the current density at constant 250mV in the case of implant tested in 0.9% NaCl solution showed higher compared to SBF and AS solution as time increased. From the results of cyclic potentiodynamic test, the pitting potential and |$E_{pit}\;-\;E_{corr}$| of implant tested in SBF and AS solution were higher than those of implant tested in 0.9% NaCl solution.

자외선 및 블루영역 차단 기능을 갖는 화장품의 원료로 사용되기 위한 박막 판형의 ZnO 및 Fe₂O₃ 성분을 포함하는 인공 칼라민 세라믹 분말 소재를 합성하였다. 20 : 1에서 50 : 1 범위의 높은 종횡비를 가지는 (0001)면의 판형 ZnO 세라믹 분말 소재는 아연공기전지로 전력 생산한 후에 회수한 전해질을 출발 물질로 하여 징크아세테이트와 소듐시트레이트 혼합 용액에서 중화반응을 통한 석출로 합성하였다. 아이언 클로라이드 용액의 첨가량을 증가시키는 방법으로 인공 칼라민 세라믹 분말 내의 Fe₂O₃ 함량을 높일 수 있었으며, 이 경우 자외선뿐만 아니라 가시광선의 블루 영역을 일부 흡수하였다. 포타슘 아세테이트 용액을 첨가시킬 경우에는 Zn(OH)₄^2- 음이온의 분해를 촉진하여 (0001) 면 위에 수직 방향으로 격벽 형태로 성장한 박막을 얻을 수 있었는데, 이 경우 자외선을 흡수할 수 있는 기회가 증가하면서 자외선 흡수율이 증가하였다. 아이언 클로라이드 용액과 포타슘 아세테이트 용액의 첨가량을 함께 조절하면 박막 판형의 인공 칼라민 세라믹 분말의 조성 및 형상을 최적화시킬 수 있어서 화장품 제형을 진행할 경우 블루영역의 광투과도가 크게 감소하였다.
