비뉴톤 점탄성 Maxwell 요소와 탄성 스프링으로 이루어진 3 요소 비뉴톤 모델로부터 응력완화 식을 유도하였다. 이 식을 응력완화 실험 결과에 적용하여 여러 가지 모델 파라메타를 계산하였다. 모델 파라메타로부터 계산한 이론 곡선은 실험적인 응력완화 곡선과 잘 일치하였다. 비선형 점탄성 모델 파라메타로부터 섬유고분자 물질의 홀부피, 미세구조, 점탄성성질, 역학적인 성질 등을 연구하였다. 응력완화 실험은 용매기를 부착한 인장 시험기를 사용하였으며, 시료는 두 종류의 polyacrylonitrile-polyvinylchloride 공중합체와 또 다른 두 종류의 PVC 모노 필라멘트 섬유를 여러 온도의 공기와 물속에서 응력완화 실험을 하였다.

Interaction of blood flow and leaflet behavior in a bileaflet mechanical heart valve was investigated using computational analysis. Blood flows of a Newtonian fluid and a non-Newtonian fluid with Carreau model were modeled as pulsatile, laminar, and incompressible. A finite volume computational fluid dynamics code and a finite element structure dynamics code were used concurrently to solve the flow and structure equations, respectively, where the two equations were strongly coupled. Physiologic ventricular and aortic pressure waveforms were used as flow boundary conditions. Flow fields, leaflet behaviors, and shear stresses with time were obtained for Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid cases. At the fully opened phase three jets through the leaflets were found and large vortices were present in the sinus area. At the very final stage of the closing phase, the angular velocity of the leaflet was enormously large. Large shear stress was found on leaflet tips and in the orifice region between two leaflets at the final stage of closing phase. This method using fluid-structure interaction turned out to be a useful tool to analyze the different designs of existing and future bileaflet valves.

Viscoelastic properties of PET filament fibers on stress relaxation were investigated in the solvents of $H_2$O, 0.05% NaOH and 50% DMF using an Instron (UTM4-100 Tensilon) with solvent chamber. The theoretical stress relaxation equation derived by applying the Ree-Eyring's hyperbolic sine law to dashpot of three element non-Newtonian model was applied to the experimental stress relaxation curves, and the model parameters $G_1,G_2$, ${\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$ were obtained. By analyzing temperature dependency of the relaxation time, the values of activation entropy, activation enthalpy and activation free energy for flow in PET filament fiber were evaluated, the activation free energy being about 25.7 kcal/mol. The self diffusion coefficient and hole distance were obtained from parameters ${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$ and crystallite size in order to study the self diffusion and the orientation of crystallites in amorphous region and the effect of solvent.
