The purpose of this study was to identify the differences of the static and the dynamic balance reactions in the flexion syndrome (FS) and the extension syndrome (ES) group of the patients with chronic lowback pain (LBP) and healthy subjects. Twenty subjects were included in each group. By using EquiTest 5.02, the static balance was measured by the equilibrium score and the strategy score of sensory organization test (SOT), while the dynamic balance was measured by the latency of motor control test (MCT) and the sway energy of adaptation test (ADT). Oswestry Disability Index (OSI) was used to measure level of the disability in patients with chronic LBP. The equilibrium scores, the strategies of SOT, and thelatencies of MCT of three groups were compared with one way ANOVA, while the sway energy of ADT was compared with repeated measures one way ANOVA. The results of this study showed that the equilibrium scores and the strategy scores of SOT were significantly lower in patients with chronic LBP than in healthy subjects. The equilibrium scores and the strategy scores of SOT were significantly differences between the FS and ES groups in condition 5 (support surface was sway-referenced and visual information waseliminated by eye closure), and 6 (support surface was sway-referenced and visual information was altered by sway-referencing). The FS group showed delayed average reaction time at large posterior translation, however, the ES group showed delayed average reaction time at large anterior translation, Even though the sway energy of the patients with chronic LBP were greater than that of healthy subjects during the toe down (plantar flexion rotation), the values between the FS and ES groups didn't show any significant difference. The disability level showed highly correlation with the equilibrium score of the condition 5. As the results, the FS and ES groups divided by the their symptoms and signs in patients with chronic LBP showed different balance reaction. Therefore, more accurate evaluation and balance treatments are needed to focus on their symptoms and signs in patients with chronic LBP.

Purpose : To evaluate the effects of elastic resistance exercise of lumbo-pelvic region and upper limbs muscle on equilibrium ability and shoulder pain of the elderly. Methods : The subject consisted of sixteen healthy elderly people(14 females. 2 males). They were from 61 to 83 years old and the mean age was 68.06. All subjects were assigned only the elastic resistance exercise group. The subject group received elastic resistance exercise for about 60 minutes per day, two times per weeks, during 8 weeks period. A Stop watch was used to measure static equilibrium ability and dynamic equilibrium ability and then pressure algometer was used to measure shoulder press pain threshold. All measurements of each subjects were measured at pre-experiment and post-experiment stage. SPSS 12.0 program was used to compile results. A Paired samples t-test was conducted to examine changes of static equilibrium, dynamic equilibrium and shoulder press pain threshold between pre-experiment and post-experiment. Results : The static equilibrium ability, dynamic equilibrium ability and shoulder press pain threshold were significantly differences between pre-experiment and post-experiment(p<.05). Conclusion : This data suggests that an eight week elastic resistance exercise improved static equilibrium ability and dynamic equilibrium ability and then reduced shoulder pain.

피에조콘을 이용하면 연약지반 개량후 임의의 시점에서 지반의 압밀도를 파악할 수가 있다. 이 경우 임의의 심도에서 피에조콘의 관입을 멈추고 간극수압이 일정한 값에 이를 때까지 간극 수압 소산시험을 실시하는데, 연약지반의 투수계수가 작기 때문에 대체적으로 상당히 오랜 시간 동안 소산시험을 하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 침하 분석기법 가운데 일반적으로 널리 알려져 있는 쌍곡선법, 아사오카법, 호시노법을 이용하여 간극수압 소산시험시의 평형간극수압을 각각 추정한 후 장시간에 걸친 실제 시험결과와 비교함으로써 간극수압 소산시험에 소요되는 시간을 단축할 수 있는 방법을 연구하였다. 그 결과, 호시노법을 이용한 추정방법이 가장 적합한 방법임을 알 수 있었으며 이를 이용한 효율적인 간극수압 소산시험 방법을 제시하였다.

As a truly meshfree method, meshless equilibrium on line method (MELM), for 2D elasticity problems is presented. In MELM, the problem domain is represented by a set of distributed nodes, and equilibrium is satisfied on lines for any node within this domain. In contrary to conventional meshfree methods, test domains are lines in this method, and all integrals can be easily evaluated over straight lines along x and y directions. Proposed weak formulation has the same concept as the equilibrium on line method which was previously used by the authors for enforcement of the Neumann boundary conditions in the strong-form meshless methods. In this paper, the idea of the equilibrium on line method is developed to use as the weak forms of the governing equations at inner nodes of the problem domain. The moving least squares (MLS) approximation is used to interpolate solution variables in this paper. Numerical studies have shown that this method is simple to implement, while leading to accurate results.

본 논문은 과도상태의 압력데이터로부터 평형상태의 압력을 예측하는 방법을 제시하고 있다. 압력을 측정하는 곳과 압력센서는 튜브로 연결되어져 있다. 측정하고자하는 압력 (측정압력)이 높은 경우에는 압력센서가 빠른 시간 내에 측정압력에 반응을 한다. 그러나 매우 낮은 압력을 측정하는 경우에는 압력센서가 실시간으로 측정압력에 반응을 하지 못하여 압력지연현상이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 압력지연현상을 파악하고자 여러 가지 실험이 수행되었다. 본 연구의 제시된 평형압력예측방법은 낮은 압력을 측정함에 있어서 측정시간을 단축시킬 수 있다.
