When taking X-ray, Some of them are not only absorbed as they pass through the body, but some are scattered and blurred. To prevent this problem, 'X-Ray Grid' was placed between the body and the film. Conventionally, in order to manufacture an X-ray grid, a lead sheet and an aluminum sheet were adhered with epoxy or the like, cut to a predetermined thickness, and formed in a line at a predetermined angle. New grids are actively being developed to solve this problem. In this study, Laser beam was irradiated on a photosensitive glass having high X-ray transmittance to form an oblique lattice type channel. When the photosensitive glass is exposed to Laser beam, Previous studies have shown that laser exposure to photosensitive glass reacts with UV-Laserto form high-precision microstructures. The photosensitive glass exposed by the laser is heat-treated at a high temperature to crystallize the exposed part. When the crystallized patterns are etched with a hydrofluoric acid liquid solution, a structure having a depth is completed. The completed structure is filled with metals with X-ray shielding properties. The angle of incidence can be processed up to 18, which is the angle of incidence of ordinary X-ray, The upper surface line width of theetched pattern is 20um or less and The depth of processing after etching was found to be more than 100um, which means 'the filler can be deposited sufficiently'.

This study aimed to compare chin deviation in angle measurement on posteroanterior(PA) cephalogram and computed tomography (CT). Chin deviation was assessed as menton(Me) deviation in angle measurement on PA cephalogram and CT images of 35 patients who had orthognathic surgery (19 male and 16 female with average age of 22.1±3.33yr). The difference between the Me deviation was calculated and statistical analysis was performed to compare the deviation direction and asymmetry severity on the two imaging modalities. There was statistically significant difference in the difference of Me deviation between PA cephalogram and CT by one-simple t-test (p<.05). The mean difference of Me deviation was 2.21°± 1.84°. The maximum difference of Me deviation was 8.64°. There were statistical agreements in the deviation direction (k =0.82, p<.05) and in the severity of facial asymmetry (k =0.37, p<.05). The difference of the deviation direction was detected in 2 patients (5.71 %). The difference of the severity of facial asymmetry was in 15 patients (42.86%). The chin deviation in angle measurement might be different between PA cephalogram and CT in some patients.

The fracture of mechanical structure is caused by internal cracks in the material. Particularly, the fracture can also be seen to happen under the stress that is lower than yield strength in case of high strength steel because of the crack happening from the defect inside the material. In this study, high strength steel with four holes near the center crack were designed by angle and fatigue experiments, and the simulation analyses to verify the experimental results were carried out. As the results of this study, the crack growth rates are shown to be 0.000485, 0.000434 and 0.000422 respectively at the inclined angles of center crack as 22.5°, 45° and 67.5°. The maximum deformation energies become 0.0848mJ, 0.0603mJ and 0.0582mJ respectively at the inclined angles of center crack as 22.5°, 45° and 67.5°. It is thought that this study result can be utilized as the basic data at the study on the material existing with the defects of crack and hole.

목적: 원거리와 근거리에서 얼굴을 고정시키는 고정 장치와 각도기를 이용하여 주시방향과 주시각도에 따라 사위도의 변화 여부의 상관성을 조사하였다. 방법: 20~30대 남여 30명을 대상으로 머리 고정 장치를 이용, 원거리와 근거리에서 마독스 로드와 시표를 이용해 정면을 바라볼 때의 사위량과 왼쪽과 오른쪽으로 각각 20°와 40° 방향을 바라볼 때 사위량이 변화를 3회 반복 측정하였다. 결과: 정면을 바라볼 때의 사위량에 비해 좌․우로 20°와 40°로 각이 증가할수록 사위량이 감소하는 결과를 보였으며 또한 주시방향이 왼쪽과 오른쪽일 때 각각 다르게 나타났다. 사위검사 시 주시 방향과 각도에 따라 안경과 콘택트렌즈의 처방 값이 달라질 수 있음을 고 려하여야 한다는 결과가 도출되었다. 결론: 양안시 평가에 있어 기본이 되는 사위 검사는 얼굴을 포롭터에 수평이 되도록 하지 않으면 프리즘 효과 때문에 비점수차가 발생하여 부정확한 값이 얻어질 수 있다. 사위 검사 시 수평 주시방향과 주시각도에 따라 정면에서 측면으로 갈수록 값이 감소하였으며, 왼쪽과 오른쪽으로 돌릴 때도 감소량이 다르게 나타났는데 이유는 해부학적으로 코 쪽의 시야가 상대적으로 좁고, 외안근의 작용 방향의 제한성에 기인한다고 생각된다. 따라서 사위 검사 시 바른 자세로 검사를 실시해야 하고, 검사자도 이를 숙지하여 사위 변화 값을 최소화해야 한다.

Background:Individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) rely on their upper limbs for body-lifting activity (BLA). While studies have examined the electromyography (EMG) and kinematics of the shoulder joints during BLA, no studies have considered foot position during BLA.Objects:This study compared the effects of different foot positions during BLA on the shoulder muscle activities, peak plantar pressure, knee flexion angle, and rating perceived exertion in individuals with SCI.Methods:The study enrolled 13 mens with motor-complete paraplegic SCI, ASIA (American Spinal Injury Association) A or B. All subjects performed BLA with the feet positioned on the wheelchair footrest and on the floor independently. Surface EMG was used to collect data from the latissimus dorsi, pectoralis major, serratus anterior, and triceps brachii. The peak plantar pressure was measured using pedar-X and the knee flexion angle with Image J. Borg’s rating perceived exertion scale was used to measure the physical activity intensity level. The paired t-test was used to compare the shoulder muscle activities, peak plantar pressure, knee flexion angle, and rating perceived exertion between the two feet positions during BLA.Results:The activity of the latissimus dorsi, pectoralis major, serratus anterior, and triceps brachii and rating perceived exertion decreased significantly and the peak plantar pressure and knee flexion angle increased significantly when performing BLA with the feet positioned on the wheelchair footrest compared with on the floor (p<.05).Conclusion:These findings suggest that individuals with SCI may perform BLA with the feet positioned on the wheelchair footrest for weight-relief lifting to decrease the shoulder muscle activities and the rating perceived exertion and to increase the peak plantar pressure and the knee flexion angle.

In this study, a numerical approach for automotive louvered fin heat exchanger is carried out to investigate the effect of louvered angle on the heat transfer characteristics. The numerical simulation code STAR-CCM+ is utilized to calculate flow and temperature fields with polyhedral meshes. The results show that the flow efficiency is increased as the louver angle is high. Also, the outlet temperatures are nearly the same according to louver angles because the average Nusselt numbers are nearly equivalent regardless of louver angle.

For driver convenience, different types of transmission are being developed, such as AT(Automatic Transmission), AMT(Automated Manual Transmission), CVT(Continuously Variable Transmission) and DCT(Dual Clutch Transmission). To improve ride comfort and durability of the transmission, control system is important during launching and shifting process. For accurate control, vehicle mass and road gradient should be known. In this study, heavy duty vehicle’s mass and road gradient estimation method is developed. The method uses only signals from CAN(Controller Area Network) without applying extra sensors. Vehicle mass and gradient is estimated by LMS(Least Mean Square) method based on longitudinal vehicle dynamic model. To verify the estimation logic, test was conducted using a chassis dynamometer. The estimation results after test and test condition is compared. The error rate of vehicle mass estimation was 5 percent and gradient estimation result had 2 percent error.

In order to provide the basis data for broad use and safe design of carbon fiber reinforced plastic, this paper aims at investigating the fracture behavior on CFRP specimen composed of one directional fiber through three point bending test. On the basis of experimental result, the improvement of composite layer specimen can be secured with the other data to compare the existing specimen. The fracture behavior happened at the experimental procedure is investigated in this study. The maximum loads of 1200 N, 1700N and 1600N are shown respectively at the specimens with the layer angles of 30°, 45° and 60°. The highest load is shown at the layer angle of 60° among all specimens and the longest displacement is maintained until each of the layer structure is broken down. The fracture due to the force applied from the outside can be prevented by applying the result of this study to the real structure. As structural safety can be evaluated and anticipated through this study, it is thought that the safe design is devoted.

In this study, the buckling restoration at CFRP 3-Point bending specimen composed of 30°, 45°and 60° is investigated when the pressure at the lowest position on the compressed specimen is eliminated. The fracture configuration and stress contour of the specimen can be seen according to the laminate angle of fiber. The result of this study is thought to apply the data for the safe design of CFRP structure.

CFRP hardened by carbon fiber and resin has the property of high strength and low weight. Specifically, the strong feature against the external vibration environment is shown as CFRP is designed with the structure of multi-axes. So, CFRP in place of metal has been used at the various fields. CFRP specimens for mode Ⅱ are applied with the repetitive fatigue load in this study. These specimens have the fiber layer angles of 30°, 45° and 60°. The material properties of specimens are investigated with the result of fatigue fracture due to this load. As the study result, the smallest and largest reaction forces of 500 N and 540 N are shown at the layer angle of 30° and 60° respectively among these specimens. The separation of adhesive interface at 4000 fatigue cycles is happened earliest in case of the layer angle of 60°. But the separation of adhesive interface at 11000 fatigue cycles is happened latest in case of the layer angle of 45°. Through the result of fatigue property, it is thought that the basis data can be applied to evaluate the safety at CFRP structure applied with fatigue.

As CFRP as the single material has various material properties, it has been used at many fields. CFRP is utilized at the mechanical structure on the basis of the brittle fracture property and the performance of vibration damping. CFRP composed of multiple axes has the high natural frequency. It is shown to have more reinforced material property with the fiber design. This paper investigates the fatigue property of the bonded specimen for mode 1 at the laminate angles of 30°, 45° and 60°. According to the fiber design, each specimen bonded with the laminate angle is shown to have different fatigue property repectively. As the laminate angle is increased, the reaction force tends to be increased. In this paper, the laminate angle through the fiber design of CFRP is applied and the fatigue property at mode 1 is investigated. Through the study result, The safety of fatigue fracture is also checked at applying to the composite structure.

Through this study, velocity distribution characteristics of exit section and downstream straight length of square sectional 180° and 90° curved ducts were numerically analyzed with RSM (Reynolds Stress Model) by changing various flow parameters such as air velocity, surface roughness and hydraulic diameter etc. As a result of it, the maximum velocity profiles according to air velocity in 180° and 90° curved ducts were indicated at Y/D=0.8 and X/D=0.7 region. Also, the efficient measuring location in bended duct downstream was able to suggest when the most stable straight duct length in flow deviations were indicated at L/D=30 and L/D=10 region, and the standard deviation characteristics according to hydraulic diameter were mostly indicated at L/D=15∼30 and L/D=10 region considering minimum deviations in the same velocity condition.

As CFRP with only a single material shows the various fracture properties, it has been applied to the many areas through the whole industry. The method bonding with adhesive has been recommended to apply the CFRP to structure. But it is inevitable that the mechanical joints with bolt, nut and rivet have been used sometimes. This study investigates the effect that these joints influence the CFRP panel through the analysis result. The analysis models as CFRP panels with the thickness of 5 mm have four kinds of layer angles which are 30°, 45°, 60° and 75°. The fracture property is examined when the pressure by the mechanical joint is applied to the upper panel. As the joint pressure is distributed most effectively in case of the layer angle of 60°, it is shown that this pressure becomes lower and the deformation of panel becomes lowest. On the basis of this study result, it is thought that the foundation data for the design of CFRP structure can be provided and contributed to the safety design of structure.

Normalized muscle strength of hip and knee muscles showed a significant difference between men and women (p<.05). Valgus angle of the knee in women (t=-2.450, p=.025) were increased significantly than men. Conclusion: The therapist would consider the characteristics of these gender differences during performing movement test, exercise, and education for the individuals with PFPS.

Nowadays, the study of CFRP reinforced with carbon fiber is focused on improving the the mechanical property. The study on the fracture data of CFRP are not properly made out than that of the general mechanical joint. In this study, the fracture property of mode 1 at the same condition of tensile experiment is investigated by applying the layer angle to laminated CFRP with the thickness of 15 mm. When the reaction forces until dropping out the bonded surface are compared with the cases of the layer angles of 0°, 45° and 60°, the reaction force is shown to be most and the elapsed time until dropping out the bonded surface is longest at that of 45°. The deformation energy is also shown to have the highest value by dropping out the adhesive interface. As the basis of the analysis result of this study, the most safety with fracture resistance is shown in the case of 45°. the bonded structure applying the appropriate layer angle is thought to have the structural safety.
