The purpose of this study was to evaluate the fracture strength and removal torque value (RTV) of a conventional angled abutment and a newly developed angled abutment (Beauty up abutment) with an angulated screw access hole. Each abutment was divided into a control group and an experimental group (n = 20, respectively). To measure the fracture strength, the abutment was connected to the internal hex implant with 30 Ncm torque, and a load was applied at 30 degree angle with cross-head speed of 1 mm/min using a universal testing machine according to the ISO 14801:2016 standard. To measure RTV, each abutment was fastened to the implant with 30 Ncm torque. Retightening was performed after 10 minutes, and initial RTV was measured with a digital torque gauge. After retightening, a load of 250 N was applied to the abutment at a 30 degree angle using a chewing simulator. After a total of 100,000 repeated loads, RTV was measured. Statistical analysis was performed using Wilcoxon signed rank test and Mann-Whitney U test (α = .05). The fracture strength of the experimental group was statistically significantly lower than that of the control group (P = .009). There was no significant difference between initial RTV and post-loading RTV between the experimental group and the control group (P = .753, P = .527, respectively), and cyclic loading did not significantly affect RTV in both groups (P = .078).

Fourteen model pile load tests using a calibration chamber and instrumented model pile were preformed to investigate the variation of the behaviors of driven piles in sands with soil and lateral cyclic loading conditions. Results of the model tests showed that the first loading cycle generated more than 70% of the pile head rotation developed for 50 lateral loading cycles. Lateral cyclic loading also made an increase of the ultimate lateral load capacity of piles for $K_0$=0.4 and an decrease for $K_0$ higher than 0.4. Higher portion of the increase or decrease in the ultimate lateral load capacity by lateral cyclic loading was generated for the first loading cycle due to densification of loosening of the soil around the pile by lateral cyclic loading. It was also observed that a two-way cyclic loading caused higher ultimate lateral load capacity of driven piles than a one-way cyclic loading. When the pile was in the ultimate state, the maximum bending moment developed in the pile increased with increasing $K_0$ value of soil and was insensitive to the magnitude and number of lateral cyclic loading.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate how mandibular implant-supported fixed complete prosthesis, implant and mandible responded mechanically, according to curvature of arch, number and location of fixture, and amounts of load. The shape of mandibular arch was tapered or square form and, 4 or 6 fixtures were implanted in each arch model. A vertical load of 10kg was applied at the center of prosthesis and a vertical load of 20kg was applied at the location of the 10mm or 20mm cantilever posterior to the most distal implant. Three-dimensional finite element analysis was performed for stress distribution and deflection using commercial software(ABAQUS program) for Sun-SPARC Workstation. The results were as follows : 1. The case square arch form was more stable to compare with that of tapered arch form in respect of stress distribution and displacement under vertical load on the center of prosthesis. 2. 6-implants cases were more stable than 4-implants cases for decreasing bending torque under vertical load on the center of prosthesis. 3. Under vertical load on cantilever extension, the case of 10mm long cantilever was more stable than that of 20mm long cantilever in respect of stress distribution and displacement. 4. Under vertical load on cantilever extension, 6-implants cases had a tendency to reduce displacement and to increase the reaction force of supporting point due to increasing of the bending stiffness of the prosthesis than 4-implant case. 5. When the ends of 10mm or 20mm long cantilever were loaded, the most distal implant was under compressive stress but the second most distal implant was under the highest tensile stress and the remaining implants were under varying tensile stress. 6. Because 6-implants cases had smaller displacement than 4-implants cases, 6-implants cases were more favorable in respect of prevention of screw loosening under repeated loadings.

본 논문에서는 연직 불연속면을 포함하는 지반에서 얕은 심도 2-arch 터널 굴착에 따른 거동특성을 실험적으로 연구하였으며, 2-arch 터널 굴착에 따른 필러부 하중전이 특성을 관찰하였다. 연직 불연속면의 위치를 변화시키고, 2-arch터널 시공단계별로 모형실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과, 2-arch 터널 굴착에 따른 이완하중이 불연속면이 위치한 곳에 집중되었고, 불연속면에 차단되어 불연속면을 넘어서까지 하중이 전이되지는 않았다. 또한 인접한 터널의 하반을 굴착할 때보다 상반을 굴착할 때에 필러부와 지반변형에 더 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

Screw loosening and subsequent pullout can be attributed to the reduction in bone mineral density in the vertebrae manifested by osteoporosis in which the decrease in fixation strength between the cancellous bone and screw threads are accelerated by repeated loads exerted by patients own weight and activities following the surgery. In this study, the change in pullout strength of the pedicle screws was investigated before and after repeated loads were imparted. For this purpose. Diapason pedicle screws $(6.7\times40mm)$ were inserted onto fresh porcine spine specimens (T1-L5) after bone mineral density was measured using a DEXA. With an MTS, an axial load was applied at a loading rate of 0.33mm/sec until failure to measure the maximum pullout strength. Flexion moment of 7.5N-m was then imparted at 0.5Hz for 2000 cycles. It was found that the maximum pullout strength was exponentially related to BMD regardless of load types ($107.71\;\times\;\exp^{(1.43{\times}BMD)}r^2=0.93$, P<0.0001 without repeated load; ($107.71\;\times\;\exp^{(2.19{\times}BMD)}r^2=0.78$, P<0.0001 with repeated load). The results suggest that the reduction in pullout strength for pedicle screws is far more prominent in osteoporotic spine than in normal spine especially as number of repeated load was increased. More importantly, it was demonstrated that the level of bone mineral density and the activity level of the patient should be evaluated in more detail for successful implementation of pedicle screw systems in spinal surgery.

The use of the ordinary double nut (i.e., ODN) composed of a master nut (i.e., M-nut) and a slave nut (i.e., S-nut) is a highly efficient method to prevent bolts loosening. A novel double nut (i.e., FODN) composed of a master nut (i.e., M-nut) and flat slave nut (i.e., FS-nut) is proposed to save raw materials. The bolt fastening tests with single nut, ODN and FODN are performed to investigate the preload and counterbalance forces. Corresponding finite element analysis (FEA) models are established and validated by comparing the preload with the experimental results. The load-bearing capacity, the extrusion effect, and the contact stress of each engaged thread for ODN and FODN are observed by FEA. The experimental and simulated results revealed that the bolt fastening with double-nut has different load-transferring mechanisms from single-nut. Nevertheless, for double-nut/bolt assemblies, the FS-nut can provide load transfer that is like that of the S-nut, and the FODN is a reasonable and reliable fastening method. Furthermore, based on the theory of Yamamoto, a formula considering the extrusion effect is proposed to calculate the preload distribution of the double-nut, which is applicable to varying thicknesses of slave-nuts in double-nut/bolt assemblies.

Recently, researchers in the field of structural health monitoring (SHM) have been rigorously striving to replace the conventional NDE techniques with the smart material based SHM techniques, employing smart materials such as piezoelectric materials. For instance, the electromechanical impedance (EMI) technique employing piezo-impedance (lead zirconate titanate, PZT) transducer is known for its sensitivity in detecting local damage. For practical applications, various external factors such as fluctuations of temperature and loading, affecting the effectiveness of the EMI technique ought to be understood and compensated. This paper aims at investigating the damage monitoring capability of EMI technique in the presence of axial stress with fixed boundary condition. A compensation technique using effective frequency shift (EFS) by cross-correlation analysis was incorporated to compensate the effect of loading and boundary stiffening. Experimental tests were conducted by inducing damages on lab-sized aluminium beams in the presence of tensile and compressive forces. Two types of damages, crack propagation and bolts loosening were simulated. With EFS for compensation, both cross-correlation coefficient (CC) index and reduction in peak frequency were found to be efficient in characterizing damages in the presence of varying axial loading.

본 연구는 산업현장에서 사용되는 분전반 내 터미널 블록의 탄화 사고를 예방하기 위한 목적으로, 전선 접속부 볼트의 이상(Abnormal) 풀림 각도에 따라 변화하는 정상전류 및 과전류의 접속부 발열 위험성을 확인하고 열적 특성을 통해 위험성을 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 터미널 블록에 Resistance temperature detector (RTD) 센서 보드를 설치하여 실시간으로 터미널 블록의 발열 온도와 온도의 변화를 측정하는 새로운 기법을 적용하였다. 실험 결과 정격 전류가 작은 터미널 블록 모델의 발열 온도가 높게 나타남에 따라 부하전류에 따른 터미널 블록 용량 선정의 중요성을 확인하였다. 또한 정격전류가 높은 터미널 블록의 정격 전류가 높을수록, 이상 풀림 정도가 클수록 탄화점이 빨라짐을 확인하였다. 이러한 발열 온도 모니터링을 통해서 실시간 발열 온도를 측정할 수 있었고 열적 분석을 통해서 단계별 위험수위 설정이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 탄화 위험성 측정 및 분석 결과는 탄화로 인한 화재 위험성에 대한 응용 연구의 이론적 기초를 제공할 수 있다. 또한 본 연구에서 새롭게 적용한 온도 센서 보드를 활용한 열화 측정 방법은 위험수준관리 및 전기적 접촉 불량으로 인한 화재 예방 활동에 광범위하게 적용 가능할 것으로 사료된다.
