Nakcyguri is one of the offensive weapons most often used in Taekkyon games, The purpose of this study was to investigate kinetic factors on two types of Nakcyguri, one of which uses hip bending and the other uses little it. 12 taekkyoners (males) who are the students of Y University participated in this study. They have been practicing on Taekkyon for five years or more. Positions of CoM, the elapsed time of each phase, ROM of joint and segment angles, ground reaction forces, joint moments of supporting leg were analyzed for this study. The results were as follows; in Nakcyguri with hip bending than without hip bending, anterior/posterior ROM of pelvis, head and swing foot were larger by flexing-extending more, and both vertical and posterior components of GRF were larger during phase 4. It was considered that hip bending produced posterior momentum as well as vertical momentum of trunk during Nakcyguri. In conclusion hip bending was essential and so useful to the successful attack.

The effect of high temperature-moisture on corrosion and mechanical properties for Sn-0.7Cu, Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu (SAC305) solders on flexible substrate was studied using Highly Accelerated Temperature/Humidity Stress Test (HAST) followed by three-point bending test. Both Sn-0.7Cu and SAC305 solders produced the internal $SnO_2$ oxides. Corrosion occurred between the solder and water film near flexible circuit board/copper component. For the SAC305 solder with Ag content, furthermore, octahedral corrosion products were formed near Ag3Sn. For the SAC305 and Sn-0.7Cu solders, the amount of internal oxide increased with the HAST time and the amount of internal oxides was mostly constant regardless of Ag content. The size of the internal oxide was larger for the Sn-0.7Cu solder. Despite of different size of the internal oxide, the fracture time during three-point bending test was not significantly changed. It was because the bending crack was always initiated from the three-point corner of the chip. However, the crack propagation depended on the oxides between the flexible circuit board and the Cu chip. The fracture time of the three-point bending test was dependent more on the crack initiation than on the crack propagation.

The effect of microwave irradiation on wood bending was investigated in this study. The specimens irradiated with microwave were bent around a form by using pedestal-steel and clamps. The specimens, korea red pine (Pinus densiflora), for this test were water-soaked for 78 hours. Saturated specimens were boiled in water for an hour. The size of specimens was 350mm(L) by 20mm(R) by 10mm(T). These specimens were heated by microwave of 2,450MHz. The most suitable time for microwave irradiation seems to range from 60 to 90 seconds. Wood moisture content decreased remarkably with the increase of irradiation time. When a softened wood piece is bent, its convex side was stretched while the concave side was compressed. It can be compressed considerably, but stretched very little. Therefore the failure will be governed by the tensile breaking strain and occur mainly on the convex face. So we obtained results from three different bending process methods as follows : 1) When bending with a pedestal-steel, convex face had not tensile breakings, but concave face had compression fails. 2) When bending with a clamp, bending time increased more than pedestal-steel and occurred tensile breaking. 3) Bending with a pedestal-steel and a clamp was found to be the most excellent operation method in this study.

The earth station antenna operating on a GEO communication satellite is influenced by sun interference in the period of the spring or the autumn eqinox. Such phenomena are also undertaken by ray-bending phenomena in atmosphere. Therefore the prediction time of sun interference does not theoretically match actual interference time. In this paper, the actual sun interference time has been analyzed in consideration of ray-bending phenomenon, the size of main reflector of earth station antenna and elevation angle between an earth station antenna and a satellite. Ray-bending phenomenon in atmosphere is proved to be disregarded if the Mugungwha satellite is luanched in 1995. The analysis results are compared with actual measurement values of sun interference time at local earth stations and the two data are in accord well.

Moving force identification is a very important inverse problem in structural dynamics. Most of the identification methods are eventually converted to a linear algebraic equation set. Different ways to solve the equation set may lead to solutions with completely different levels of accuracy. Based on the measured bending moment responses of the bridge made in laboratory, this paper presented the time domain method (TDM) and frequency-time domain method (FTDM) for identifying the two moving wheel loads of a vehicle moving across a bridge. Directly calculating pseudo-inverse (PI) matrix and using the singular value decomposition (SVD) technique are adopted as means for solving the over-determined system equation in the TDM and FTDM. The effects of bridge and vehicle parameters on the TDM and FTDM are also investigated. Assessment results show that the SVD technique can effectively improve identification accuracy when using the TDM and FTDM, particularly in the case of the FTDM. This improved accuracy makes the TDM and FTDM more feasible and acceptable as methods for moving force identification.

An analytical approach to calculate time-dependent stresses and strains in initially cracked reinforced concrete section with biaxial bending was proposed. The method utilized the aging coefficient approach of Bazant and the linear creep theory. The position of neutral axis and strain and stress distributions of cracked section after creep and shrinkage were determined from the requirements of strain compatibility and equilibrium of a section. With this proposed algorithm, examples were given for rectangular section and a comparative analysis for stress and strain was also made.

A method of smart system identification of super high-rise buildings is proposed in which super high-rise buildings are modeled by a shear-bending system. The method is aimed at finding the story shear and bending stiffnesses of a specific story only from the horizontal floor accelerations. The proposed method uses a set of closed-form expressions for the story shear and bending stiffnesses in terms of the limited floor accelerations and utilizes a reduced shear-bending system with the same number of elements as the observation points. A difficulty of prediction of an unstable specific function in a low frequency range can be overcome by introducing an ARX model and discussing its relation with the Taylor series expansion coefficients of a transfer function. It is demonstrated that the shear-bending system can simulate the vibration records with a reasonable accuracy. It is also shown that the vibration records at two super high-rise buildings during the 2011 Tohoku (Japan) earthquake can be simulated with the proposed method including a technique of inserting degrees of freedom between the vibration recording points. Finally it is discussed further that the time-varying identification of fundamental natural period and stiffnesses can be conducted by setting an appropriate duration of evaluation in the batch least-squares method.

Stress relaxation behaviors of the cucumber under bending moment were tested with UTM at three levels of loading rate and initial deflection ratio. Sample cucumber was selected from three cultivars of cucumber, Cheongjangmadi, Baekdadagi, and Gyeousalicheongjang, because these cultivars are the most popular grown cultivars in Korea. When the bending moment was applied to the cucumber sample, the effective span between simple supports was held a constant value of 116mm with consideration of the selected sample length. The objectives of this study were to develop the rheological models such as linear and nonlinear models of the stress relaxation for the cucumber samples, and to investigate the effects of loading rate and initial deflection ratio on the stress relaxation behavior of the cucumber. The results of this study may be summarized as follows : 1. Stress relaxation behavior of the cucumber could be well described by the generalized Maxwell model for each level of deflection ratio. But the stress relaxation behavior of the sample was found to be initial deflection ratio and time dependent, and it was represented the nonlinear viscoelastic model as a function of initial deflection ratio and time. 2. Stress relaxation behavior of the cucumber samples was very highly affected by the loading rate and the initial deflection ratio. The more loading rate and initial deflection ratio resulted in the more initial bending stress and after stress relaxation progressed more rapidly. 3. At the same test conditions, it was found that the stress relaxation rate of Cheongjangmadi was faster than that of other cultivars.

This study is concerned with criterion for membrane to shell conversion in two-dimensional elastic-plastic finite element analysis using membrane/shell mixed element. It is well known that in the sheet metal forming some parts of the sheet deform under almost pure stretching (membrane) conditions, whereas other parts in contact with sharp tooling surfaces can develop significant bending strains. The membrane analysis has a short computational time however, in the membrane analysis the bending effects can not be condidered at all. On the other hand, the shell analysis allows the consideration of bending effects, but involves too much computational time. So Onatel),2), Yang et al3),4) developed the membrane/shell mixed element. Onate introduced the energy ratio parameter and Yang et al introduced the ratio of thickness to radius of curvature as the criterion. In the present study we propose a new criterion by using the angle between both side elements in the nodal point.

The strength and stiffness of structures would be weakened by thermal degradation of wood members which are exposed to a variety of heat including a fire. For this reason, thermal degraded wood members can't pertinently support the load. However, it is easy to repair or rehabilitate wood structures. So, the degraded wood members which can't support the load can be replaced with new members. For the sake of this advantage, there is a need for nondestructive evaluation(NDE) technique, which is very effective to assess wood members in service. In this paper, it was considered whether the stress wave method is adequate to estimate static bending MOE of thermal degraded wood. As the result, the relationship between static bending MOE and MOEsw in elevated temperature was found out significant. Therefore, the application of stress wave method for estimating static bending MOE of thermal degraded zzwood would be possible. However, it is thought that further research for the effects of exposure temperature, time, and thermal degradation on the relationship between static bending MOEb and MOEsw would be needed.
