최근에는 다양한 중량의 구조물을 지진으로부터 보호하기 위해 지반으로부터 분리하는 면진장치로써 지반 격리용 받침이 활용된다. 지진의 피해를 저감시키는 설계방법 중에서 면진 설계는 구조물과 지반이 만나는 부분에 면진받침을 사용하는 방식으로 다른 내진/제진 설계 방법과 비교하면 가격대비 효율과 성능이 가장 우수하다. 본 연구에서는 지진 발생 이후 지속적으로 사용 가능한 새로운 개념의 자동복원 면진받침 시스템을 제안하고자 한다. 이러한 면진받침에 대한 성능을 검증하기 위하여 이론 적립 및 설계를 수행하고 실험체를 제작하여 실제 지진 데이터가 적용된 진동대 실험을 수행하였다. 기본특성실험, 면압의존성 실험, 속도의존성 실험, 변위의존성 실험에서 강도하중이 설계 목표치와 유사하였고, 거동 또한 설계값과 유사함을 확인하였고 이를 바탕으로 면진받침의 성능 검증을 분석하였다.

니티놀이라고 하는 니켈-티타늄 형태의 형상기억 합금(SMA)은 상당한 양의 변형이 발생한 후에 추가적인 열을 가하지 않더라도 상온에서 원래 모양으로 복원될 수 있는 초탄성 효과를 가진다. 이러한 독특한 재료 특성 때문에, 니티놀은은 의료, 전기, 전자 및 기계 분야뿐만 아니라 토목 공학 분야의 내진 개량을 위한 변위 제어 장치로 널리 사용되어 왔다. 탄소강과 달리 초탄성 형상기억합금은 피로 저항성이 강하며 하중 속도에 따라 강성(하중-변위특성)등의 기계적 물성치가 변화한다. 본 연구에서는 하중 사이클의 반복 횟수와 속도에 따라 초탄성 형상기억합금의 기계적 물성치가 어떻게 변하는가에 대한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구로 인해 표준화된 초탄성 형상기억합금의 기계적 물성치는 이후 초탄성 형상기억합금을 적용한 내진 장치의 설계과정에서 활용함으로써 설계 효율성을 높일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study investigates a new type of recentering damper system combining a shape memory alloy bar with initial tension force is proposed to improve the recentering of frictional damper dissipating energy. The recentering damper is a damper device with improved energy dissipation capability as well as a reduction in maintenance and reinforcement cost, and can be said to be a low-cost, high-efficiency damper device conforming to domestic reality. For the implementation of the theoretical mechanism for the recentering damper device, various parameters were selected and the theoretical and detailed design were carried out. In order to verify the design validity of the recentering damper, a high dimensional finite element analysis model was fabricated and analyzed using cyclic load. As a result of comparing and analyzing the behavior response of the recentering damper, it proved its superiority in terms of energy dissipation ability and stability. Based on these results, we propose an optimized system design method of recentering damper.

In this study, finite element (FE) analysis was performed to evaluate the seismic performance of the water treatment plant, which is a major state of the art water treatment plant, to predict tensile cracks and compressive failure. The FE model simulation for two facilities of the water purification plant was made considering the initial conditions, boundary conditions and water effect. For the nonlinear dynamic analysis, seismic analysis was performed using ground acceleration. Tensile cracks and compressive failure are analyzed and the effects on the structures are analyzed. As a result of the analysis, tensile cracks can be predicted to occur in the main structure.

White sponge nevus (WSN) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterised by rough thickening, fissure formation, and a whitish colour change in the oral mucosa. This disorder predominantly affects the nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium of the mucosa. We experienced a familial case of WSN (i.e., a mother and her two daughters) and performed keratin gene analysis and immunohistochemical staining. The results of a mutation analysis revealed the presence of a heterozygous missense mutation 344T to G in KRT13, predicting an amino acid change leucine (L) to arginine (R), in the 1A domain of the KRT13 polypeptide. Immunohistochemically, the loss of keratin 4 expression was found.

In this study, the seismic performance of concrete-steel composite moment frame structures equipped with seismic retrofitting systems such as seismic reinforcement, base isolators, and bracing members, which are typical earthquake damage mitigation systems, is evaluated through nonlinear dynamic analyses. A total of five frame models were designed and each frame model was developed for numerical analyses. A total of 80 ground acceleration data were used to perform the nonlinear dynamic analysis to measure ground shear force and roof displacement, and to evaluate the behavioral performance of each frame model by measuring inter-story drift ratios. The analysis results indicate that the retrofitting device of the base isolator make a significant contribution to generating relatively larger absolute displacement than other devices due to flexibility provided to interface between ground and column base. However, the occurrence of the inter-story drift ratio, which is a relative displacement that can detect the damage of the structure, is relatively small compared with other models. On the other hand, the seismic reinforced frame model enhanced with the steel plate at the lower part of the column was found to be the least efficient.

There are many case reports about cysts within the bones of the jaws associated with impacted third molars. When osmotic pressure is introduced into a cyst, the cyst expands and displaces the third molar. If continuity of cyst wall is lost, cystic expansion cannot occur, and the cyst cannot displace the third molar. This study analyzed four cases of pathologic migration of the third molar in ruptured cystic lesions that had formed bone tunnels and intraoral fistulas to identify the causes and factors contributing to this migration. Authors hypothesized that closure of fistulas repeated generation of pressure, it may temporarily increase the osmotic pressure within a cyst that has lost its continuity, causing displacement of the third molar. A cyst that has lost its continuity due to fistula formation within the oral cavity can cause ectopic displacement of the adjacent impacted teeth.

In this study, refined finite element (FE) analyses intended to evaluate the capacity of the existing water purification plant structures against seismic force are conducted with an aim to predict possibility generating tension crack and compression crushing. The FE models for three types of main plant structures were constructed to take ground condition, boundary condition, and water interaction into consideration for advanced simulation. The nonlinear dynamic analyses were performed by using ground motion data which have been used for seismic design. Both compression crushing and tention crack, which are distributed over concrete plant structures during peak ground acceleration (PGA), are investigated by analyzing failure possibility controlled with the strain limits. After observing FE analysis results, it is possible to predict tenstion cracking which can be found at some parts of the main structure.

This study mainly evaluate the aseismic performance of the existing intake tower structure, which is one of the national important infra structures, on the basis of the refined finite element (FE) analysis results. The realistic evaluation for structural damage was conducted by using the nonlinear material model that takes tension and compression strength of deteriorate concrete into consideration during FE modeling. In addition, not only tension crack but also compression crushing was analyzed by utilizing field contour functions provided in the program during nonlinear dynamic analyses when peak ground acceleration (PGA) occurred. After observing FE analysis results, it can be shown that the damage of the intake tower is the most likely to occur at the water level and the base support.
