Primary water stress corrosion cracking has occurred in dissimilar weld areas in nuclear power plants. Residual stress is a driving force in the crack. Residual stress may be generated by weld or surface machining. Residual stress due to surface machining depends on the machining method, e.g., milling, grinding, or EDM. The stress is usually distributed on or near the surface of the material. We present the measured residual stress for machining on SA 508 and austenitic stainless steels such as TP304 and F316. The residual stress can be tensile or compressive depending on the machining method. The depth and the magnitude of the residual stress depend on the material and the machining method.

Research and development of mineral-resource-related products has progressed with the increased need to develop mineral resources. The DTH hammer is a resultant product. However, owing to particular work conditions of underground drilling, it is difficult to obtain direct data on the DTH hammer. A DTH drill rig requires a significant amount of money and time for actual testing. This thesis aimed to resolve this problem by using CAE. In a previous paper, the structure of the DTH hammer and its movement were analyzed, and a standard model based on simulation was proposed. Then, experimentation and comparison verification were conducted. In this paper, by using an experimental design method, we derived a control factor of the impact force and efficiency of the DTH hammer and attempted to optimize the design. As a result, the impact energy increased by 14.9%, and the efficiency increased by 3.3%.

The general soil nailing method, which is currently used domestically and internationally to stabilize the slopes of sandy slopes, is to form a kind of gravity-type retaining wall by drilling the ground and grouting it with a single steel bar. This method can reduce construction costs, ease of construction, relative strength and displacement, and is highly efficient. The difference between grouting and rebar adhesion to the yield pullout force and the difference between the amount of deformation in relation to the same pullout resistance was analyzed through field tests to identify engineering excellence, and in terms of construction cost, the reduction effect was evaluated by analyzing the difference in the number of drillings and the impact on the overall construction cost, such as material cost, when the same strength constant is applied to the ground with the same resistance.

Background: Crestal bone loss known as saucerization is a frequently observed phenomenon. Recent studies have shown that implants with micothreaded crest module reduced the force concentration in the crestal region thus resulting in no or reduced crestal bone loss. This study presents a clinical, histologic, and histometric evaluation of implants with microthreaded crest module and SLA surface. Methods: The implants were placed in the mandible of 5 beagle dogs weighing 10-15kg. Four premolars were bilaterally extracted 8 weeks prior to implant placement. Mucoperiosteal flap was elevated and drilling with increasing diameter was performed under saline irrigation. After countersinking 2 implants were placed in each side resulting in 4 implants per dog. Healing period of 8 weeks was allowed before sacrificing the animals. Histologic preparation was performed for histologic and histometric analysis. Bone to implant contact as well as percentage of bone area inside threads were measured. T-test was used for statistical analysis with pvalue p<0.05. Results: 1. Healing was uneventful without any cover screw exposure. New bone formation around the implants was observed without any inflammatory infiltration. 2. Bone to implant contact in the microthread and thread were 43.90 ${\pm}$ 20.30 %, and 53.19 ${\pm}$ 20.97 % respectively. The overall bone to implant contact was 48.54 ${\pm}$ 20.95 %. 3. Percentage of bone area inside threads were 54.43 ${\pm}$ 10.39 %, and 38.44 ${\pm}$ 16.44 % for the microthread and thread respectively. There was statistically significant difference(p<0.05). The overall percentage of bone area inside threads was 46.67 ${\pm}$ 15.68 %.

$Si_{3}N_{4}$-BN based machinable ceramics were fabricated by hot-pressing at $1800^{\circ}C$ for 2 h under a pressure of 25 MPa. The microstructure, mechanical properties, and machinability were investigated. With increasing h-BN content from 5 vol% to 30 vol%, three point flexural strength decreased from 1000 MPa of monolithic S $i_3$ $N_4$ to 720～400 MPa. The fracture toughness, $K_{IC}$ , was decreased from 7.6 MPaㆍ$m^{1/2}$ of monolithic S $i_3$ $N_4$ to 6.5～4.1 MPaㆍ$m^{1/2}$. The grain size and aspect ratio of $\beta$-S $i_3$ $N_4$ slightly decreased with increasing h-BN content. S $i_3$ $N_4$ monolith could not be machined due to brittle fracture, but S $i_3$ $N_4$-BN based machinable ceramics could be machined without fracture, showing excellent machinability. With increasing h-BN content, the thurst force during cutting and micro-drilling process was decreased.

Wooden model erosion control dam was made with pitch pine, of which the strength properties was evaluated. Wooden model erosion control dam was made with diameter 90 mm of pitch pine round posts treated with CUAZ-2 (Copper Azole), changing joint in three different types. In each type, erosion control dam was made in nine floor (cross-bar of five floors and vertical-bar of four floors), of which the hight was 790 mm. And then strength properties were investigated through horizontal loading test and impact strength test, and the deformation of structure through image processing (AICON 3D DPA-PRO system). In horizontal loading test of wooden model erosion control dam using round post of diameter 90 mm, whether there was stone or not did not affect strength much when using self drill screw, but strength was decreased by 23%. In monolithic type of erosion control dam using screw bar, strength was increased by 1.5 times and deformation was decreased when filling with stone. When reinforcing with screw bar that ring is connected to self drill screw, strength was increased by 4.8 times. In impact strength test of wooden model erosion control dam made with round post of diameter 90 mm, the erosion control dam connected with self drilling screw not filling with stone was totally destroyed by the 1st impact, and the erosion control dam using screw bar was ruptured at cross-bar at which 779 kgf of impact was loaded in the 1st impact. In the 2nd impact, the base parts were ruptured, and reaction force was decreased to 545 kgf. In the 3rd impact, whole base parts were destroyed, and reaction force was decreased to 263 kgf.

Objective: The result of finite element analysis depends on material properties, structural expression, density of element, and boundar or loading conditions. To represent proper elastic behavior, a finite element model was made using Hounsfield unit (HU) values in CT images. Methods: A 13 year 6 month old male was used as the subject. A 3 dimensional visualizing program, Mimics, was used to build a 3D object from the DICOM file which was acquired from the CT images. Model 1 was established by giving 24 material properties according to HU. Model 2 was constructed by the conventional method which provides 2 material properties. Protraction force of 500g was applied at a 45 degree downward angle from Frankfort horizontal (FH) plane. Results: Model 1 showed a more flexible response on the first premolar region which had more forward and downward movement of the maxillary anterior segment. Maxilla was bent on the sagittal plane and frontal plane. Model 2 revealed less movement in all directions. It moved downward on the anterior part and upward on the posterior part, which is clockwise rotation of the maxilla. Conclusion: These results signify that different outcomes of finite element analysis can occur according to the given material properties and it is recommended to use HU values for more accurate results.
