Blades of tidal stream turbines have to sustain many different loads during operation in the underwater environment, so securing their structural safety is a key issue. In this study, we focused on periodic loads due to wave orbital motion and propose a load reduction method with a blade design. The flap of an airplane wing is a well-known structure designed to increase lift, and it can also change the load distribution on the wing through deflection. For this reason, we adopted a passive flap structure for the load reduction and investigated its effectiveness by an analytical method based on the blade element moment theory. Flap torsional stiffness required for the design of the passive flap can be obtained by calculating the flap moment based on the analytic method. Comparison between a flapped and a fixed blade showed the effect of the flap on load reduction in a high amplitude wave condition.

Flutter stability and buffeting response have been the topics of most concern in the design state of long-span suspension bridges. Among approaches towards the aerodynamic stability, the aerodynamic-based control method which uses control surfaces to generate forces counteracting the unstable excitations has shown to be promising. This study focused on the mechanically controlled system using flaps; two flaps were attached on both sides of a bridge deck and were driven by the motions of the bridge deck. When the flaps moved, the overall cross section of the bridge deck containing these flaps was continuously changing. As a consequence, the aerodynamic forces also changed. The efficiency of the control was studied through the numerical simulation and experimental investigations. The values of quasi-steady forces, together with the experimental aerodynamic force coefficients, were proposed in the simulation. The results showed that the passive flap control can, with appropriate motion of the flaps, solve the aerodynamic instability. The efficiency of the flap control on the full span of a simple suspension bridge was also carried out. The mode-by-mode technique was applied for the investigation. The results revealed that the efficiency of the flap control relates to the mode number, the installed location of the flap, and the flap length.

Purpose: The second toe PIP joint free flap is a method of reconstruction used for abnormalities of the PIP joint of the finger. We report the results of the additional tenolysis in patients with a difference between passive ROM and active ROM after second toe PIP joint free flap. Methods: From March 2001 to July 2008, tenolysis was performed in patients with a difference in their active and passive ROM after second toe PIP joint free transfer, performed on 14 fingers. We performed a retrospective analysis of the medical records, noting the clinical and radiological findings. In addition, we measured the preoperative and postoperative range of motion of the PIP joint. Results: The average active ROM was $22.5^{\circ}$ at the three months after the joint transfer surgery, and was $38^{\circ}$ after additional tenolysis between five months and twelve months after the joint transfer. Conclusions: Additional tenolysis, after the second toe PIP joint free flap, might be a good option for improved results in patients with difference in active and passive ROM of a transferred PIP joint.

본 연구에서는 진동 운동하는 익형의 동적실속 특성을 향상시키기 위하여, 고정 앞전 Droop과 Gurney 플랩의 크기와 위치에 대한 최적설계를 수행하였다. 고정 앞전 Droop이 모멘트 특성의 개선에 효율적이나 양력특성의 저하를 유발 할 수 있다. 반면에 Gurney 플랩은 양력특성의 향상을 가져오지만, 모멘트특성을 악화시키는 특성이 있다. 고정앞전 Droop의 설계변수는 상호 보완적인 특성을 갖는 위치와 각도를 설정하였으며, Gurney 플랩은 그 길이를 설계변수로 설정하였다. 또한, 동적실속과 같이 비선형성이 강한 문제의 설계를 위해서 고차 다항식의 반응면 기법과 민감도 기반의 최적설계 기법을 사용하였다. 최적화는 양력과 모멘트 특성이 동시에 개선되도록 수행 하였다. 설계 결과 동적실속의 양력, 모멘트 및 항력특성의 향상을 가져올 수 있었으며, 가변 앞전 Droop과 Gurney 플랩을 결합한 능동제어장치에 버금가는 동적실속 제어 효과를 갖을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Purpose: Passive eruption is characterized by the apical shift of the dentogingival junction. As this occurs, the length of the clinical crown increases as the epithelial attachment migrates apically. Altered passive eruption occurs when the margin of gingiva is malpositioned incisally on the anatomic crown in adulthood and results in excessive gingiva. The purpose of this article is to evaluate esthetic results of crown lengthening procedure in altered passive eruption.s. Materials and Methods: Three patients who complained "My front teeth look too short" were included. Bone sounding with periodontal probe revealed that alveolar bone crest was close to CEJ. Based on the diagnostic information, a diagnosis of altered passive eruption was made. They were performed apically positioned flap procedure with osseous resection. Results: Six months later, all patients achieved favorable esthetic results and gingival margins were healthy and stable. Conclusion: When the diagnostic procedures reveal alveolar bone crest levels approximating the CEJ, apically positioned flap procedure with osseous resection is indicated.

In this study, the flow control system with shape memory alloy in jet engine inlet was suggested to adjust the shock boundary layer interact~on for supersonic flight system. It consisted of the flap with shape memory alloy, spar with steel, and fixing device with aluminum alloy. The advantages of itself are a simple configuration, a passive air circulation by using the flap deflection due to pressure difference, and no need to be required the auxiliary devices. Finite element analysis was conducted to predict the thenno-mechanical behavlor of the flap system with shape memory alloy. The user-defined subroutine UMAT was implemented with ABAQUS to accon~modate the thermo-mechanical constitutive relation of shape memory alloy.

저자들은 1994년부터 1997년까지 수부에 급성 연부조직 손실과 신근건 결손을 가진 2명의 환자에 대해 지연처치후 동맥화된 족배 정맥 건피판술을 시행하였다. 피판의 생존 표면적은 2명 모두 100%였다. 피판 크기는 각각 $10{\times}10cm,\;6{\times}6cm$였다. 술후 2주째 능동적 굴곡운동과 수동적 신전 운동을 시작하였고 점진적인 저항운동을 5주간 실시하였다. 피판은 수부의 정상 피부와 비슷한 색깔과 피부상태를 보였다. 지연처치후 동맥화된 정맥 건피판은 순수 정맥피판이나 동맥화된 정맥피판보다 큰 피판을 만들 수 있으며 동맥화후 정맥피판의 생존율을 높여 복합 피판이 가능하게 하며 공여부의 주 동맥을 보존할 수 있고 얇은 조직을 얻을 수 있으며 피판을 심부 박리 없이 쉽게 거상할 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 단점으로는 두 단계의 수술이 필요하고 공여부 반흔과 족지의 신전이 약해질 수 있다.

The periodontal flap surgery is the most widely utilized surgical procedure to reduce the pocket depth and to access the subgingival root surfaces for scaling and root planing. The diagnosis of the periodontal lesion and the objective of the surgery will dictate the type of flap procedure which will be utilized to obtain the best result. The incisions, type of flap and the selection of suturing design must be planned and executed to fit the problem. Periodontal flaps are designed to preserve gingival integrity and to gain access to root surfaces for residual calculus removal and to thoroughly remove granulation tissue so bone defects can be visualized and treated. Gentle and efficient procedures result in optimum healing and minimal postoperative pain. When flaps need to be repositioned apically or less often, coronally, then the flaps must sit passively at the appropriate level before suturing. To ensure this, buccal and lingual flaps need to be elevated beyond the mucogingival junction so the elasticity of the mucosa allows for flap mobility. Sometimes it may be necessary to extend the flap elevation apically with a split incision approach to minimize the effect of the less elastic periosteum. Vertical incisions can aid in flap positioning by allow ing the clinician to suture the flap at a different level to the adjacent untreated gingiva. In osseous periodontal surgery, flaps are apically positioned to minimize postoperative pocket depth. In regenerative periodontal surgery including implant surgery, soft tissue cove rage of bony defects, graft materials, membranes, and bio logic agents is important so sulcular incisions and light suturing techniques are crucial.

A passive control using flaps will be an alternative solution for flutter stability and buffeting response of a long suspension bridge. This method not only enables a lightweight economic stiffening girder without an additional stiffness for aerodynamic stability but also avoid the problems from the malfunctions of control systems and energy supply system of an active control by winglets and flaps. A time domain approach for predicting the coupled flutter and buffeting response of bridge deck with flaps is investigated. First, the flutter derivatives of bridge deck and flaps are found by experiment. Next, the derivation of time domain model of self-excited forces and control forces of sectional model is reported by using the rational function approximation. Finally, the effectiveness of passive flap control is investigated by the numerical simulation. The results show that the passive control by using flaps can increase the flutter speed and decrease the buffeting response. The experiment results are matched with numerical ones.
