관절잡음의 발생은 측두하악 관절의 구조적, 기능적 이상의 징후로 여겨져왔다. 이러한 관절잡음을 평가하는데 electrovibratography가 비침습적이고 신뢰할만한 방법으로 제시되어 왔으며 이를 통해 관절잡음의 진동수와 진폭 및 전체 에너지 양상을 숫자화하고 도식화 하는 것이 가능하게 되었다. 기존의 연구에서 여러 가지 관절잡음의 양적, 질적 분석이 시도되어 왔다. 이번 연구의 목적은 관절 잡음이 도식화되어 나타나는 frequency spectrum pattern을 integral>300Hz/<300Hz ratio와 함께 분석하는 것이다. 본 실험에서는 Joint Vibration AnalysisTM를 사용하여 측두하악 관절 장애의 증상이 없는 10명의 대조군과 관절 잡음과 동통이 있으나 개구제한을 보이지 않는 정복성 관절원판 변위의 범주에 있는 20명의 실험군에서 관절진동을 분석하였으며 관절진동 기록 시에 Jaw tracker를 함께 사용하여 개폐구시 관절잡음 발생의 위치를 감별하고 치아접촉음을 배제하여 관절잡음을 분석하였다. 그 후 실험군을 frequency spectrum pattern에 따라 4가지 하위 그룹으로 나누어 분석하였다. 실험 결과 실험군과 대조군의 하위 그룹 1에서 유사한 frequency spectrum pattern과 ratio범위를 보였으며 실험군의 하위 그룹 2,3,4 에서는 더 불규칙한 에너지 양상을 보이는 frequency spectrum pattern과 더 큰 ratio가 관찰 되었다. 이번 연구를 통해 Joint Vibration AnalysisTM가 악관절 진동의 특성을 감별하는데 유용함을 알 수 있었고 Joint Vibration AnalysisTM를 이용한 지속적인 진동 분석이 환자 교육뿐 아니라 성공적인 턱관절 기능이상의 진단과 치료에 유용할 것으로 사료된다.

This study is analyzed by the simulation of automotive steering system. The maximum equivalent stress of $2.2418{\times}109Pa$ and the maximum total displacement of 0.014929m are shown at the universal joint and its lower part respectively. As the minimum cycle of 34.047 is shown at the universal joint in case of fatigue analysis, it is possible to have greatest damage at this part. In case of natural frequency analysis at vibration, its frequency of 47 to 59Hz is occurred generally. The maximum total displacement of 0.5m is shown at handle on the natural frequency of 57 to 58Hz. And the displacement over 2m is shown at the lower part of universal joint on the natural frequency of 58 to 59Hz. As the basis of the simulation analysis of steering system, passenger's comfort of car body can be improved in the design of practical part and the design effect necessary to safe driving can be promoted.

In this studies, joint time-frequency analysis techniques were applied to analyze ultrasonic signals in the degraded austenitic 316 stainless steels, to study the evolution of damage in these materials. It was demonstrated that the nonstationary characteristics of ultrasonic signals could be analyzed effectively by these methods. The WVD was more effective for analyzing the attenuation and frequency characteristics of the degraded materials through ultrasonic. It is indicated that the joint time-frequency analysis, WVD method, should also be useful in evaluating various damages and defects in structural members.

In this paper, a simplified ultrasonic CT system, which uses the information in three directions, that is, 90°, ＋45° and －45°about the inspection plane, is applied to the high strength steel, and the frequency analysis method for enhancing the C scan or CT image is developed. This frequency analysis method is based on the frequency response property of the material. By comparing the magnitudes in the frequency domain, the special frequency which shows a significant difference between the welded joint and base material was found and used to obtain a C scan or CT image. Experimental results for several kinds of specimens, having a welded joint by electron beam welding, a weld joint by arc welding, on a fatigue crack, showed that the obtained C scan or CT image has better resolution than the results of previous experiments using the maximum value of the received waveform.

Chassis part in automotive body is affected by fatigue load at driving on the ground. Universal joint on this part is influenced extremely by the fatigue load. Fatigue life, damage and natural frequency are analyzed at universal joint under nonuniform fatigue load. The york part at universal joint is shown with the maximum equivalent stress and displacement of 60.755 MPa and 0.21086 mm as strength analysis. The possible life in use in case of 'SAE bracket' is the shortest among the fatigue loading lives of 'SAE bracket', 'SAE transmission' and 'Sine Wave'. The damage at loading life of 'SAE transmission' is the least among 3 types. The frequency of damage in case of 'Sine Wave' is 0.7 with the least among 3 fatigue loading life types but this case brings the most possible damage as 80% at the average stress of 0. Natural vibration at this model is analyzed with the orders of 1'st to 5'th and maximum frequency is shown as 701.73 Hz at 5'th order. As the result of this study is applied by the universal joint on chassis part, the prevention on fatigue damage in automotive body and its durability are predicted.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM. Qualitative and semi-quantitative methods have been developed for TMJ sound classification, but the criteria presented are completely inhomogeneous. Thus, to develop more objective criteria for defining TMJ sounds, electroacoustical systems have been developed. We used Joint vibration analysis in the BioPAK system(Bioresearch Inc., Milwaukee, USA) as the electrovibratography. PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to examine the TMJ sounds with repect to frequency spectra patterns and the integral > 300 Hz /< 300 Hz ratios via six-months follow-up. MATERIAL AND METHODS. This study was done before and after the six-months recordings with 20 dental school students showed anterior disk displacement with reduction. Joint vibrations were analyzed using a mathematical technique known as the Fast Fourier Transform. RESULTS. In this study Group I and Group II showed varied integral > 300 /< 300 ratios before and after the six-months recordings. Also, by the comparative study between the integral > 300 /< 300 ratios and the frequency spectrums, it was conceivable that the frequency spectrums showed similar patterns at the same location that the joint sound occurred before and after the six-months recordings. while the frequency spectrums showed varied patterns at the different locations that the joint sound occurred before and after six-month recordings, it would possibly be due to the differences in the degree of internal derangement and/or in the shape of the disc. CONCLUSIONS. It is suggested that clinicians consider the integral > 300 /< 300 ratios as well as the frequency spectrums to decide the starting-point of the treatment for TMJ sounds.

The aim of this study was to analyze the characteristics of knee joint sound in frequency domain and classify the knee joint diseases. The spectral analysis of knee joint sounds was performed using LPC(Linear Predictive Coding) and Wigner-Ville distribution. Ten normal subjects and 5 patients with meniscal tearing were enrolled. Each subject was seated on a chair and underwent active knee flexion and extension for 60 seconds. Sampling frequency was 10kHz and electronic stethoscope and electro-goniometer were applied during the knee motion for data collection. The spectral analysis showed 3 peaks in both groups and the difference energy distribution in time-frequency domain. These results suggest that the diagnosis of knee joint pathology using the auscultation could be easier and more correct.

Acoustic emission (AE) signals, emanated during local failure of aluminum alloys, have been the subject of numerous investigations. It is well known that the characteristics of AE are strongly influenced by the previous thermal and mechanical treatment of the sample. Possible sources of AE during deformation have been suggested as the avalanche motion of dislocations, fracture of brittle particles, and debonding of these particles from the alloy matrix. The goal of the present study is to determine if AE occurring as the result of fatigue crack propagation could be evaluated by the joint time-frequency analysis method, short time Fourier transform (STFT), and Wigner-Ville distribution (WVD). The time-frequency analysis methods can be used to analyze non-stationary AE more effectively than conventional techniques. STFT is more effective than WVD in analyzing AE signals. Noise and frequency characteristics of crack openings and closures could be separated using STFT. The influence of various fatigue parameters on the frequency characteristics of AE signals was investigated.

본 연구에서는 이변량 극치분포를 이용하여 연최대치 호우사상을 평가하였다. 이를 위해 특정 재현기간을 가지는 호우사상의 강우량을 비동시결합 재현기간, 동시결합 재현기간 그리고 구간조건부 결합재현기간의 세 가지를 이용하여 산정하였다. 이때, 결합재현기간별 호우사상의 값의 크기가 서로 다르게 산정되는 이유를 이변량 분포의 확률특성을 보여주는 사분면을 이용하여 설명하였다. 호우지속기간 24시간인 경우에 동시결합재현기간을 이용하여 산정한 확률강우량은 전통적인 방법으로 얻어진 강우지속기간 24시간의 확률강우량과 유사하게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 전통적인 강우빈도해석의 제약사항을 극복하는데 도움이 될 것으로 보여진다. 이변량 빈도해석으로 얻어진 확률호우사상은 저류시설물의 계획시 통계적으로 보다 유용하면서도 간단한 설계 호우사상을 제공할 수 있을 것으로 보여진다.

The modelling techniques of a center pillar-to-roof rail joint for low frequency vibration analysis are examined and some fundamental problems are addressed. To develop a simplified beam-spring model of the joint, the present work is focused on 1) practical shell modelling techniques and 2) joint spring stiffness estimation methods a practical model-updating method to match the calculated natural frequencies to the experimentally determine ones is proposed, particularly focusing on spot welding modelling. In joint spring modelling, the results from the model with one joint spring are compared with those from the model with three coupled springs. Finally, some fundamental problems in beam-spring modelling are addressed.
