In this study, hydroxyapatite (HAp) and hydroxyapatite-yttria stabilized zirconia (HAp-3YSZ) with 20 vol. %– (ZrO2+3 %mol Y2O3) nanopowders were consolidated very rapidly to full density by High-frequency induction heat sintering (HFIHS). Effects of temperature and the addition of 3YSZ on the toughness, hardness and microstructure properties have been studied. 3YSZ second phase toughening HAp composites with higher toughness were successfully developed at relatively low temperatures through this technique. Compared with hardness and toughness obtained for pure HAp, the hardness and toughness for HAp-20vol. % 3YSZ were much higher.

Nanostructured Alumina - 20 vol% 3YSZ composites powder were synthesized by wet-milling technique. The starting materials were a mixture of Alumina micro-powder and 3YSZ nano-powders. Nano-crystalline grains were obtained after 24 h milling time. The nano-structured powder compacts were then processed to full density at different temperatures by high-frequency induction heat sintering (HFIHS). Effects of temperature on the mechanical and microstructure properties have been studied. composites with higher mechanical properties and small grain size were successfully developed at relatively low temperatures through this technique.

최근 새로운 행정수도의 이전이 예상된 남한 중부 충청지방에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 우리는 이 지역에서 1996년 9월 이후 한국교원대학교 지진관측망을 설치하석 운영 중이며, 이 관측망 중 2개 관측소에서 기록된 60개의 지진자료를 바탕으로 확장 Coda 규격화법을 이용하여 QP-1 과 QS-1을 동시에 측정하였다. 부족한 자료를 보충하기 위해서 한국지질자원연구원 관측망 중 한국교원대학교 관측망과 지리적으로 인접한 1개의 관측소에서 기록된 33개의 지진자료도 함께 분석하였다. 측정된 QP-1은 (1.9±3.0)×10-3에서 (5.4±1.5)×10-4으로, QS-1은 (2.4±1.4)×10-3에서 (6.3±1.1)×10-4으로 주파수가 3.0Hz에서 24Hz로 늘어남에 따라 줄어드는 주파수 의존적 특성을 보인다. 이 값을 주파수의 지수형태로 나타내면 QP-1=0.003f-0.62, QS-1=0.006f-0.071이다. 이 값들은 지진학적으로 안정한 전 세계의 다른 지역의 값과 유사하며 남한 남동부 지역값에 비해서는 다소 약한 주파수 의존을 나타낸다. 이는 고주파수에서 높은 Q-1값 때문이다. 남한 남동부와 충청 동부지역 간의 Q-1의 차이를 평가하기 위해서는 보다 많은 관측이 요구된다.

Using a developed high-frequency induction heated combustion method. the simultaneous synthesis and densification of WC-xvol.%Co() hard materials was accomplished using elemental powders of W, C and Co. A complete synthesis and densification of the materials was achieved in one step within a duration of 1min. The final relative densities of the composite were over 98.5% for all cases, under the applied pressure of 60 MPa and the induced current. The hardness of the composites decreases and the fracture toughness increases with increasing cobalt content. As the carbon to tungsten ration increases, the hardness increase, but the fracture toughness decreases. The maximum values for the fracture toughness and hardness are 15.1 (at 20vol.%Co, W:C=1:1), and 1928 (at 5vol.%Co, W:C=1:1.3), respectively. Therefore we concluded that the HFIHCS method. which can produce WC-xvol.%Co within 1 minute in one step is superior to conventional ones.

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) training of the knee extensors is a useful way to rehabilitate the ability to stand and walk. However, training using FES has not been able to solve the problem of fatigue; clinical application of FES quickly produces muscle fatigue, due to the continuous activation of the muscles of the lower extremity. Therefore, reduction of muscle fatigue is an important factor in increasing the effectiveness of FES training in paraplegia. Intermittent high frequency alternating stimulation is a method that combines the advantages of high frequency (leading to strong muscle contractions) and alternating stimulation (reducing muscle fatigue), thereby continuously strengthening muscles. It is not known whether low frequency simultaneous stimulation results in stronger muscle contraction than high frequency alternating stimulation. This study compared the effectiveness of high frequency alternating stimulation with low frequency synchronized stimulation. Muscle power using FES on the quadriceps of 20 normal subjects were compared. Intermittent high frequency alternating stimulation did not produce more powerful muscle contraction than intermittent low frequency synchronized stimulation, because the muscle characteristics differed individually. Significant individual variation according to muscle characteristics was founded when applying FES. Accordingly, when physical therapists use FES to treat patients, they must be aware of individual variation in muscle characteristics.
