Many types of occlusal splints are used for treatment of craniomandibular disorders. Most widely used splint among them is flat-type centric relation splint. Insertion of splint into the mouth may cause increasing of vertical dimension, masticatory muscle realignment and rearrangement of maxillo-mandibular relationship, so as a result of splint treatment, occlusal relation may vary whether you like it or not. From this point of view, occlusal state of patient shold be frequently monitored to prevent undesired or harmful effect during occlusal splint therapy. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of occlusal splint, especially centric relation splint, on the occlusal contact state after 3 months treatment. 32 patients with craniomandibular disorders who had unilateral symptoms participated in this study. To observe and record occlusal contact state, the author used T-Scan system (Tekscan Co. U.S.A.) at both pretreatment and posttreatment. The recorded date were analyzed with regard to contact number, contact force and contact time, change of anterior tooth contact and coincidence of first contact point with affected side were observed, too. Aan last, the subjects were divided into 2 groups and compared, according to average value of VAS index, with respect to joint pain, sound and limitation of movement, respectively. The collected date were statistically processed with SPSS and the result as follows : 1. Total occlusal contact number and force were not changed by occlusal splint therapy but total occlusal contact time decreased slightly. 2. There was a tendency of increasing number of subjects with anterior tooth contact after treatment and change of first contact point side were observed in as many as 40.6% of subjects. 3. There were no difference between higher and lower group of VAS index, and between pretreatment and posttreatment in each group, either.

서비스전달과정에서 고객과 서비스제공자 사이의 인적 상호작용으로 정의되는 고객접촉은 다차원적 구조물로, 서비스품질에 강한 영향을 미치는 것으로 인식되고 있다. 고객접촉의 구성차원을 탐색하고, 이들이 서비스품질평가에 미치는 영향을 검증하기 위하여 강원도 설악권 호텔고객으로부터 설문조사를 통해 수집된 자료 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 고객접촉은 고객과 서비스종업원 사이에 이루어진 접촉의 질적 측면을 반영하는 접촉근접성과 물리적인 커뮤니케이션의 지속정도에 관련되는 커뮤니케이션시간 등 두 차원적 구조물로 나타났다. 둘째, 선행연구결과에서와 같이 고객접촉은 전반적인 서비스품질에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 셋째, 고객접촉 구성차원은 독립적으로 또 동시에 네 차원으로 밝혀진 서비스품질 차원에 전반적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, a numerical procedure to solve a contact problem has been developed. The procedure takes the advantage of signal processing technique in frequency domain to achieve the shorter computer processing time. The Boussinesq's equation was adopted as the response function. This procedure is applicable to the non-periodic surface profile as well as the periodic one. The validity of this procedure has been established by comparing the numerical results with the exact solutions. The effectiveness of this procedure is lied on the shorter computing time than any other contact analysis algorithm.

This paper presents a newly implemented parallel finite element procedure for contact-impact problems. Three sub-algorithms are includes in the proposed parallel contact-impact procedure, such as a parallel Belytschko-Lin-Tsay (BLT) shell element generation, a parallel explicit time integration scheme, and a parallel contact search algorithm based on the master slave slide-line algorithm. The underlying focus of the algorithms is on its effectiveness and efficiency for inclusion in future finite element systems on parallel computers. Throughout this research, a prototype code, named GT-PARADYN, is developed on the IBM SP2, a distributed-memory computer. Some numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the timing results of the procedure, discussing the accuracy and efficiency of the code.

A numerical method is presented for the dynamic analysis of spur gears rotating with very high angular speeds. For an efficient computation each gear is assumed to consist of a rotating rigid disk and an elastic tooth having mass, and finite element formulations are used for the equations of motion of the tooth. The geometric constraint is imposed between the rigid disk and the elastic tooth to fix them, and contact condition is imposed between the meshing teeth of the gears. At each iteration of each time step the Lagrange multiplier and contact force are revised by using the constraint error vector, and then the whole equations of motion are time integrated with the given Lagrange multiplier and contact force. For the accurate solution the velocity and acceleration constraints as well as the displacement constraint are satisfied by the monotone reductions of the constraint error vectors. Computing procedures associated with the iterative schemes are explained and numerical simulations are conducted with the spur gears.

This study analyzes the rolled circular rod strip with radius of loom and length of 350cm by using finite element analysis. The material strength and its durability of the rolled strip can be predicted through this study. As the penetration tolerance by contact decreases, the contact rigidity of strip increases. As the contact rigidity becomes the highest at the elapsed time of 1.2 second, the contact stress becomes the lowest. On the contrary, von-Mises stress becomes highest at this time. The total deformation on strip increases from the upper part of strip at the position near to rotating roll to the lower part of strip at the position near to fixing roll.

In this research, a numerical algorithm has been developed, which can be applied to the large deformation and large displacement contact problems between two deformable bodies. The contact conditions expressed in terms of the rate of angle change have been proposed considering the change in geometric shape and rate of contact force. A set of linear simultaneous equations is constructed by adding the geometric shape change and contact conditions to the original stiffness matrix. A new method to determine time increment has been proposed based on Euler method, in which the condition to prevent the contact bodies from penetrating and overrunning each other has been taken into consideration. Practical application to contact problem is extrusion in which bodies are sliding along the contact boundary.

The new principle to measure a sizing degree by a contact angle was developed using an automatic determination of the 3-end point coordinates of the water droplet on a sheet, which could diminish the operator's bias during measurement. A constant amount of water was first placed on a sample sheet by a water dispenser, and then an image of the liquid droplet was captured by a digital camera and then transmitted to a computer. The program measuring for contact angle extracted a liquid contour by Gaussian function combined with a 8-direction chain code. The Euclidean equation was applied to the binary image of the liquid contour in order to measure the diameter of the contour. Finally, the contact angle of the liquid was calculated by using the diameter and the top coordinates. In addition, a surface free energy of the sample sheet and an elapsed time taken up to the complete absorption into the sheet were simultaneously measured with the contact angle.

It is necessary to analyze the exact contact position and contact stress of the wheel-rail in order to predict damage to the wheel and rail. This study presents a wheel-rail contact analysis model that considers the deformation of the axle. When a wheel-rail contact analysis is performed using a full three-dimensional model of the wheelset and rail, the analytical model becomes very inefficient due to the increase in analysis time and cost. Therefore, modeling the element-coupling model of the wheel and rail as a three-dimensional element and the axle as a one-dimensional element is proposed. The wheel-rail contact characteristics in the proposed analysis model for straight and curved lines were analyzed and compared with the conventional three-dimensional analysis model. Considering the accuracy of the analysis results and time, the result shows that the proposed analytical model has almost the same accuracy as a full three-dimensional model, but the computational effort is significantly reduced.
