When a small gear rotates at a very high speed over 40,000 rpm, frictional heat is generated on the gear surfaces. Thermal deformations and stresses arising from frictional heat may lower the efficiency and fatigue life of the high-speed gear. Especially, such frictional heat has much stronger effects on the performance of millimeter-sized high-speed gears used for surgical and dental hand-pieces, due to a small surface area. An analytical equation was derived to calculate frictional temperature on a mating gear surface and conduction heat transfer analysis was performed. Thermal deformation and contact stresses were then calculated using FEM for gears used for medical hand-pieces. The contact stresses of the meshed gear and pinion increase by 19.4% and 16.4%, respectively, when the frictional thermal deformations are considered.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the family stresses and its managing strategy to cope with the stresses, and family strengths among commuting couples. The participants of this study consisted of a national samples of 134 couples (268 individuals), whose has been commuting for at least six months The major findings obtained from the study are summarized in the following: 1) The degree of family stresses among commuting couples was 2.98, when the maximal stress value was set to 5.0. The most stressful aspect for the commuting couples came from the role of parents who care for their children. 2) The degree of coping strategy among commuting couples was 3.37, when the maximal coping strategy value was set to 5.0. Among the strategies, the 'cognitive restructuring' shows the first. 3) The degree of family strengths among commuting couples was 3.76, when the maximal strengths value was set to 5.0. Also factors affecting the family strengths among commuting couples are dependent on their educational degree, religion, kind of jobs, commuting and conjugal periods, moving person, meeting frequencies, self-esteem and marital satisfaction. 4) The most effective variable of family strengths among commuting couples was marital satisfaction.

During ethanol fermentation, bacterial strains may encounter various stresses, such as ethanol and acid shock, which adversely affect cell viability and the production of ethanol. Therefore, ethanologenic strains that tolerate abiotic stresses are highly desirable. Bacteria of the genus Deinococcus are extremely resistant to ionizing radiation, ultraviolet light, and desiccation, and therefore constitute an important pool of extreme resistance genes. The irrE gene encodes a general switch responsible for the extreme radioresistance of D. radiodurans. Here, we present evidence that IrrE, acting as a global regulator, confers high stress tolerance to a Zymomonas mobilis strain. Expression of the gene protected Z. mobilis cells against ethanol, acid, osmotic, and thermal shocks. It also markedly improved cell viability, the expression levels and enzyme activities of pyruvate decarboxylase and alcohol dehydrogenase, and the production of ethanol under both ethanol and acid stresses. These data suggest that irrE is a potentially promising gene for improving the abiotic stress tolerance of ethanologenic bacterial strains.

Deep drawing is a forming process in which a blank of sheet metal is radially drawn into a forming die by the mechanical action of a punch and converted to required shape. Deep drawing involves complex material flow conditions and force distributions. Radial drawing stresses and tangential compressive stresses are induced in flange region due to the material retention property. These compressive stresses result in wrinkling phenomenon in flange region. Normally blank holder is applied for restricting wrinkles. Tensile stresses in radial direction initiate thinning in the wall region of cup. The thinning results into cracking or fracture. The finite element method is widely applied worldwide to simulate the deep drawing process. For real-life simulations of deep drawing process an accurate numerical model, as well as an accurate description of material behavior and contact conditions, is necessary. The finite element method is a powerful tool to predict material thinning deformations before prototypes are made. The proposed innovative methodology combines two techniques for prediction and optimization of thinning in automotive sealing cover. Taguchi design of experiments and analysis of variance has been applied to analyze the influencing process parameters on Thinning. Mathematical relations have been developed to correlate input process parameters and Thinning. Optimization problem has been formulated for thinning and Genetic Algorithm has been applied for optimization. Experimental validation of results proves the applicability of newly proposed approach. The optimized component when manufactured is observed to be safe, no thinning or fracture is observed.

Residual stresses can be produced during manufacturing processes, eg. welding, machining and plastic working, and also in service. It can be superimposed with externally applied loads, so that unexpected deformations and failures of members will be occurred. Especially, the strength and the life of welded components are affected extensively by the residual stresses distributed around their weldments not only under static loads, but also fatigue loads. These residual stresses are not kept constant, but relaxed or redistributed during service. Under static loads the relaxation takes place when the residual stress superimposed with external stress exceeds locally the yield stress of material used. It is shown that under fatigue loads the residual stress is considerably relieved by the first or few cycle loading, and then gradually relaxed with increasing loading cycles. Although many investigations in this field have been carried out, the phenomenon and mechanism of the stress relaxation by mechanical means are still not clear, and there are few comprehensive models for predicting specific effects on the stress relaxation. In this study, the effects of applied static and fatigue loads on the residual stress relaxation were Investigated, and a model to predict quantitatively the residual stress relaxation was proposed.

본 연구는 과학영재 중학생과 일반 중학생의 완벽주의 성향과 스트레스 요인별 강도를 비교하고 완벽주의 유형과 스트레스와의 관계를 살펴보는 데 그 목적이 있다. 질문지 조사를 통해 143명의 과학영재 중학생과 148명의 일반 중학생의 완벽주의 성향과 스트레스를 살펴본 결과, 전반적인 완벽주의 성향은 과학영재집단이 비교집단에 비해 높게 나타났는데 특히 영재집단의 자기지향적 완벽주의가 높았으며, 스트레스는 일반학생들이 영재집단에 비해 더 많이 받고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 영재집단의 경우 학교생활에서 느끼는 스트레스와 사회적으로 부과된 완벽주의에 있어 유의한 상관을 나타냈다.

In this study, contact analysis in a functionally graded (FG) layer loaded with two circular punches is solved using the finite element method (FEM). The problem is consisted of a functionally graded layer that resting on an elastic semi-infinite plane and is loaded with two rigid punches of circular geometry. External loads P and Q are transferred to the layer via two rigid punches. The finite element model of the functionally graded layer is created using the ANSYS package program and a 2-dimensional analysis of the problem is analyzed. The contact lengths, obtained as a result of the analysis are compared with the analytical solution in the literature. In the study, the effects of parameters such as distances between punches, loads, inhomogenity parameter on contact zones, initial separation loads and distances, normal stresses, stresses across depth and contact stresses are investigated. As a result, in this study, it can be said that the magnitude of the stresses occurring in the FG layer is less than the homogeneous layer, therefore the life of FG materials will be longer than the homogeneous layer. When the distance between the punches is 2.25, the initial separation distance is 6.98, and when the distance between the punches is 4, the initial separation distance decreases to 6.10. In addition, when the load increased in the second punch, the initial separation load decreased from 55 to 18. The obtained results are presented in the form of graphs and tables.

상록활엽수의 저온스트레스에 대한 저항성과 내 건성을 파악하고자 대표적인 상록활엽수인 붉가시나무와 구실잣밤나무의 초겨울 비교 수분 관계 특성을 기온 변화와 함께 해석하였다. 10월 이후 강수량과 기온이 급격하게 감소하였으며, 이러한 감소에 대해 붉가시나무와 구실잣밤나무는 세포 내 용질의 양을 증가시켜 삼투 포텐셜을 저하시키는 삼투조절을 행하였다. 그 결과, 두 종 모두 원형질 분리점과 팽윤 상태에서의 삼투 포텐셜은 11월에서 보다 12월에 더욱 낮은 값을 기록하였으며, 이러한 삼투조절 능력은 같은 수분 포텐셜에서도 11월보다 12월에 더욱 높은 팽압을 유지할 수 있게 하였다. 또한, 구실잣밤나무는 이러한 삼투조절 능력에다 붉가시나무에 비해 세포벽 유연성을 높게 가짐으로서 겨울철의 저온 스트레스와 수분 스트레스 하에서 팽압을 유지하는데 기여하고 있는 것을 나타내었다.

심해나 해상조건이 나쁜 지점에서 운영될 해양구조물의 설계시에는 파랑하중에 대한 구조물의 피로수명예측이 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 랜덤파랑하중에 의해 해양구조물에 발생되는 응력의 bandwidth가 구조물의 피로수명예측 결과에 주는 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. 구조물의 동적거동해석은 비선형 점성저항력의 선형화를 통한 주파수영역해법을 사용하여 수행되었으며, 랜덤응력스펙트럼을 구하고 이를 바탕으로 피로해석을 수행하였다. 피로손상의 예측을 위한 랜덤응력 cycle의 산정은 narrow band cycle 산정법과 함께 wide band process 에 대하여 더 적정한 rainflow cycle 산정법을 사용하였다. 수심이 다른 지점에 위치한 2개의 구조물을 택하여 예제해석을 수행하였으며, 두 응력 cycle 산정법에 의해 얻은 피로해석 결과들을 비교하고 응력의 bandwidth의 영향을 분석하였다.
