  • The possibility of earthquakes in vulnerable regions indicates that efficient technique is required for seismic protection of buildings. During the recent decades, the concept is moving towards the insertion of base isolation on seismic prone buildings. So, investigation of structural behavior is a burning topic for buildings to be isolated in base level by bearing device. This study deals with the incorporation of base isolation system and focuses the changes of structural responses for different types of Lead Rubber Bearing (LRB) isolators. A number of sixteen model buildings have been simulated selecting twelve types of bearing systems as well as conventional fixed-base (FB) scheme. The superstructures of the high-rise buildings are represented by finite element assemblage adopting multi-degree of freedoms. Static and dynamic analyses are carried out for FB and base isolated (BI) buildings. The dynamic analysis in finite element package has been performed by the nonlinear time history analysis (THA) based on the site-specific seismic excitation and compared employing eminent earthquakes. The influence of the model type and the alteration in superstructure behavior of the isolated buildings have been duly assessed. The results of the 3D multistory structures show that the lateral forces, displacement, inertia and story accelerations of the superstructure of the seismic prone buildings are significantly reduced due to bearing insertion. The nonlinear dynamic analysis shows 12 to 40% lessening in base shear when LRB is incorporated leading to substantial allowance of horizontal displacement. It is revealed that the LRB isolators might be potential options to diminish the respective floor accelerations, inertia, displacements and base shear whatever the condition coincides. The isolators with lower force intercept but higher isolation period is found to be better for decreasing base shear, floor acceleration and inertia force leading to reduction of structural and non-structural damage. However, LRB with lower isolator period seems to be more effective in dropping displacement at bearing interface aimed at reducing horizontal shift of building structure.

  • Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between ground reaction force (GRF) and attack time according to the position of hand segments during counter attack in Kendo. Method: The participants consisted of 10 kendo athletes (mean age: $21.50{\pm}1.95yr$, mean height: $175.58{\pm}5.02cm$, mean body weight: $70.96{\pm}9.47kg$) who performed standard head strikes (A) and counter attack with a preferred hand position of +10 cm (B), 0 cm (C), and -10 cm (D). One force-plate (AMTI-OR-7., USA) was used to collect GRF data at a sample rate of 1,000 Hz. The variables analyzed were the attack time, medial-lateral GRF, anterior-posterior GRF (AP GRF), peak vertical force (PVF), and loading rate. Results: The total attack time was shorter in types A and C than in types C and D. The AP GRF, PVF, and loading rate had significantly higher forces in types C and D than in types A and C. The attack time (bilateral and unilateral leg support and total) was positively correlated with the GRF variables (vertical GRF and loading rate) during the counter attack in Kendo (r = 0.779 [$R^2=0.607$], p < 0.001). Conclusion: The positions of the hand segments can be changed by various conditions of the opponent in Kendo competitions; however, the position preferred by an individual can promote the successful ratio of the counter attack.

  • 다이아그리드 노드의 지진 및 바람에 의한 반복하중에 대한 구조성능을 해석적으로 평가하는 것은 용접특성의 반영이 어려워서 한계가 있다. 이 연구에서는 횡하중을 받는 다이아그리드 노드의 구조거동을 알아보기 위해 다이아그리드의 노드부를 축소한 모형을 이용해 실험을 수행했다. 실험체는 총 5개이며 실험의 변수는 각 부분의 용접방법, 측면스티프너와 가새 웨브의 겹침길이이다. 한쪽 대각가새에는 인장력을, 다른쪽 대각가새에는 압축력을 가하는 반복가력 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 주요 파괴 원인은 축력과, 방향이 상이한 두 힘의 합력으로 인한 부가적 모멘트에 의한 작용으로 나타났다. 인장력에 의해서 가새 부재의 플랜지가 파단하였고, 압축력에 의해서 가새 플랜지의 국부좌굴이 일어났다. 또한 겹침길이와 용접타입은 초기 강성, 항복 내력 및 에너지 흡수능력에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

  • A rotordynamic analysis was performed with a dry vacuum pump, which is a major equipment in modern semiconductor and LCD manufacturing processes. The system is composed of screw rotors, lobes picking air, helical gears, driving motor, and support rolling element bearings of rotors and motor. The driving motor-screw rotor system has a rated speed of 6,300 rpm, and was modeled utilizing a rotordynamic FE method for analysis, which was verified through 3-D FE analysis and experimental modal analysis. As loadings on the bearings due to the gear action were significant in the system considered, each resultant bearing load was calculated by considering the generalized forces of the gear action as well as the rotor itself. Each resultant bearing loading was used in calculating each stiffness of rolling element bearings. Design goals are to achieve wide separation margins of lateral and torsional critical speeds, and favorable unbalance responses of the rotor in the operating range. Then, a complex rotordynamic analysis of the system was carried out to evaluate its forward synchronous critical speeds, whirl natural frequencies and mode shapes, unbalance responses under various unbalance locations, and torsional interference diagram. Results show that the entire system is well designed in the operating range. In addition, the procedure of rotordynamic analysis for dry vacuum pump rotor-bearing system was proposed and established.

  • 이상의 보고에서 임상의 들은 청소년기 운동선수에서 주관절 동통이 있을 때 반드시 골연골염에 대한 주의가 필요하며 비록 치료방법 및 예후에 있어 아직도 많은 논쟁은 있으나 초기발견이 매우 중요한 예후결정의 요소가 된다는 것을 주지하여야 한다. 많은 경우에 있어 초기에 보존적 치료시 증상의 호전 및 기능의 회복 그리고 운동으로의 복귀가 가능하다. 그러나 보존적 치료로 호전이 되지 않을 때 수술적 치료를 고려해야 하는데 이 때 수술적 치료 선택에 매우 신중해야 하며 수술적 적응증 역시 반드시 숙지하여야 한다.

  • The Rosette-joining system is a completely new press-joining method for cold-formed steel structures. One Rosette-joint has a shear capacity equal to that of approximately four screws or rivets. The Rosette thin-walled steel truss system presents a new fully integrated prefabricated alternative to light-weight roof truss structures. The trusses are built up on special industrial production lines from modified top hat sections used as top and bottom chords and channel sections used as webs which are joined together with the Rosette press-joining technique to form a completed structure easy to transport and install. A single web section is used when sufficient but can be strengthened by double-nesting two separate sections or by using two lateral profiles where greater compressive axial forces are met. An individual joint in the truss can be strengthened by introducing a hollow bolt into the joint hole. The bolt gives the connection capacity a boost of approximately 20%. A series of laboratory tests have been carried out in order to verify the Rosette truss system in practice. In addition to compression tests on individual sections of different lengths, tests have also been done on small structural assemblies and on actual full-scale trusses of a span of 10 metres. Design calculations have been performed on selected roof truss geometries based on the test results, FE-analysis and on the Eurocode 3 and U.S.(AISI) design codes.

  • 본 논문에서는 불란서에서 건설한 900 MWe급 가압경수형 원자로의 중성자 잡음해석 결과를 제시하였다. 중성자 잡음해석이란 노심내의 반응도 변화 및 노심의 수평운동으로 인한 노외검출기 신호의 변화를 해석하는 기법을 의미한다 이러한 방법은 Deterministic Dynamic Testing 기법중에서도 발전소의 정상운전 조건을 유지시키며 기존의 발전소 계측설비를 이용할 수 있다는 장점을 지니고 있다. 본 논문에 사용된 잡음신호는 울진 1호기 원자로의 시운전 시험기간에 구하였으며 이를 통계적 기술함수인 에너지 밀도함수(PSD), 검출기간의 상관함수 (CF)및 위상차(Phase Difference)로 나타내었다. 실험결과, 원자로 용기내의 냉각수 흐름 및 압력맥동 등에 의해 유도되는 Core Support Barrel(CSB)의 진동 주파수가 8Hz 근처임을 규명하였다.

  • Objectives : The purpose of this study was to determine whether electroacupuncture(EA) is effective in reducing pain on the severe ankle sprain classified as grade 3 in rats. Methods : The severe(grade 3) ankle sprain model was induced surgically by ankle ligament injury(the anterior talofibular, the calcaneofibular and the posterior talofibular) in the Sprague-Dawley rats(180~250 g). The effects of EA on weight bearing forces(WBR) of the affected foot were examined in a rat model of ankle sprain. EA was applied to either SI6, ST37, GB34, GB39 or GB42 acupoints by trains of electrical pulses(2 Hz, 1 ms pulse width, 2 mA intensity) for 15 min. Results : Cutting of the lateral ankle ligament complex produced the severe ankle sprain symptoms as grade 3. EA of the contralateral SI6 resulted in more analgesic effect than one of ipsilateral SI6 even though there was significant effect. EA of the ipsilateral GB34 and GB39 produced potent analgesic effects on the surgical ankle sprained pain behaviors. However, there were no significant analgesic effects in the contralateral GB34 and GB39 EA groups. In addition, both side of ST37 and GB42 did not result in analgesic effect on the surgical ankle sprained rat. Conclusions : The data suggest that EA induced analgesia shows point specificity on the severe ankle sprained pain model classified as grade 3.

  • 이 연구는 여성 노인들에게 15주간 라인 댄스 운동 프로그램을 실시하게 한 후 자세 제어와 반응 메커니즘을 관찰할 목적으로 균형성 요인을 분석해 낙상 예방을 위한 운동 중재 효과를 규명하고자 했다. 이를 위해 65세 이상 16명이 선정되었다. 균형성 판단 요인은 정적 직립 상태에서 압력 판에서 25초 서있는 동안 압력 판의 6가지(3방향 힘, 3방향 모멘트) 자료를 수집해 이를 바탕으로 좌우 및 전후 압력중심 변동폭, 이들의 압력 중심 속도, 흔들림 면적을 분석했다. 분석한 결과 라인 댄스 활동 후 전후 압력 중심의 변화 범위(p<.01)와 압력 중심의 평균 속도(p<.05)는 크게 감소를 보였다. 또한 흔들림 면적은 라인댄스 후 유의한 감소를 보였다(p<.001). 좌우 방향의 압력중심 범위와 속도는 큰 감소를 보이지 않았다. 앞으로 이와 유사한 연구를 수행하고자 할 때는 운동 중재 효과를 실제 낙상과 관련해 연구할 필요가 있으며, 또한 균형성 판단 요인을 신체계뿐만 아니라 전정계, 감각계 등을 관찰하는 연구가 필요하리라 본다.
