The purpose of this paper is to develop a more precise damper model of the joint for the quantification of the joint mechanical properties. We modified the linear damper model of a knee joint model to nonlinear one. The normalized RMS errors between the simulated and measured joint angle trajectories during passive pendulum test became smaller with the nonlinear damper model than those of the linear one which indicates the nonlinear damper model is better in precision and accuracy. The error between the experimental and simulated knee joint moment also reduced with the nonlinear damper model. The reduction in both the trajectory error and the moment error was significant at the latter part of the pendulum test where the joint angular velocity was small. The nonlinearity of the damper was significantly greater at thin subject group and this indicates the nonlinearity is a useful index of joint mechanical properties.

Recently, multidimensional joint inversion of geophysical data based on fundamentally different physical properties has been actively studied. Joint inversion can provide a way to much more accurately image the subsurface structure. Through the joint inversion, furthermore, it is possible to directly estimate non-geophysical material properties from geophysical measurements. In this study, I derive the objective functions and normal equations of three different joint inversion approaches: one approach based on the structural similarity using cross-gradient, and the other two using the a priori information on the model parameters and the correlation between material properties. Since all the equations derived in this study are based on the same inversion method (smoothness constrained least-squares), it is possible to mix the joint inversion methods so as to produce a new joint inversion algorithm.

The purpose of this paper is to suggest a practical and simple method for the identification of the joint mechanical properties and to apply it to human knee joints. The passive moment at a joint was modeled by three mechanical parts, that is, a gravity term, a linear damper term and a nonlinear spring term. Passive pendulum tests were performed in 5 fat and 5 thin men. The data of pendulum test were used to identify the mechanical properties of joints through sequential quadratic programming (SQP) with random initial values. The identification was successful where the normalized root-mean-squared (RMS) errors between the simulated and experimental joint angle trajectories were less than 10％. The parameter values of mechanical properties obtained in this study agreed with literature. The inertia, gravity and the damping constant were greater at fat men, which indicates more resistance to body movement and more energy consumption fer fat men. The suggested method is noninvasive and requires simple setup and short measurement time. It is expected to be useful in the evaluation of joint pathologies.

This study statistically investigates relationships between physical properties of rocks and topography by measuring and analyzing section, topographical and measured parameters of 58 bedrock outcrops at areas covered by gneiss, schist, granite, andesite, sandstone and limestone in the Korean Peninsula. Multiple linear regression analysis suggests that the joint spacing, joint continuity, weathering grade and maximum joint width of rocks among the measured parameters are related to the topographical parameters with statistical significances. Therefore, this study suggests that rock properties such as joint spacing, joint continuity, weathering grade and maximum joint width seem to greatly influence topography, although various factors can affect topographical parameters.

We evaluated the electric properties of Bi-2223 jointed tapes processed by both resistive-and superconducting-joint methods. For resistive-joint. filler materials of wood metal Pb/Sn. In and silver paste were used whereas for superconductive-joint lap joint method was used. In the resistive joint tape. critical transport property(CCR) n-value and contact resistance were observed to be in the range of 10-85% 1-8,9. and 0.71x10$\^$-6/-0.13x10$\^$-6/Ω, respectively. depending on their filler materials. Specifically it is believed that the electrical properties of resistive joint tape are significantly related to the resistivity of filler materials. On the other hand the CCR of superconductin joint type was varied 55 to 85% with uniaxial pressure probably due to the irregular microstructure in the transition region.

Because do placing joint after smallest $1{\sim}3$ day about concrete that is placed beforehand in field, it is difficult that remove laitance happening harden concrete. This laitance happens a problem of bond properties, deterioration in strength. In this research got following conclusion as result that do research about bond properties the way of disposal placing joint. Air Jet is loft interior and exterior. Water Jet appeared that laitance Removal Capacity is superior to dimension within 5%. Deterioration in strength is measured 37% by splitting tensile strength test result by laitance. Deterioration in strength by laitance do more than 30% that removal of laitance is predicted must consist necessarily at concrete horizontality placing joint stroke.

The adhesively bonded tubular single lap joint shows large nonlinear behavior in the loaddisplacement relation, because structural adhesives for the joint are usually rubber toughened, which endows adhesives with nonlinear shear properties. since the majority of load transfer of the adhesively bonded tubular single lap joint is accomplished by the nonlinear behavior of the adhesive, its torque transmission capability should be calculated incorporating nonlinear shear properties. However, both the analytic and numerical analyses become complicated if the nonlinear shear properties of the adhesive are included during the calculation of torque transmission capabilities. In this paper, in order to obtain the torque transmission capabilities easily, an iterative solution which includes the nonlinear shear properties of the adhesive was derived using the analytic solution with the linear shear properties of the adhesive. Since the iterative solution can be obtained very fast due to its simplicity, it has been found that it can be used in the design of the adhesively bonded tubular single lap joint.

Masonry walls are of a complex (anisotropic) structure in terms of their mechanical properties. The mechanical properties of the walls are affected by the properties of the materials used in wall construction, joint thickness and the type of masonry bond. The carried-out studies, particularly in the seismic zones, have revealed that the most of the conventional masonry walls were constructed without considering any engineering approach. Along with that, large-scale damages were detected on such structural elements after major earthquake(s), and such damages were commonly occurred at the brick-joint interfaces. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of joint thickness and also type of mortar on the mechanical behavior of the masonry walls. For this aim, the brick masonry walls were constructed through examination of both the literature and the conventional masonry walls. In the construction process, a single-type of brick was combined with two different types of mortar: cement mortar and hydraulic lime mortar. Three different joint thicknesses were used for each mortar type; thus, a total of six masonry walls were constructed in the laboratory. The mechanical properties of brick and mortars, and also of the constructed walls were determined. As a conclusion, it can be stated that the failure mechanism of the brick masonry walls differed due to the mechanical properties of the mortars. The use of bed joint thickness not less than 20 mm is recommended in construction of conventional masonry walls in order to maintain the act of brick in conjunction with mortar under load.

We evaluated the electric properties of Bi-2223 jointed tapes processed by both resistive- and supercondcuting-joint methods. For the resistive-joint, filler materials of wood metal, Pb/Sn, In, and silver paste were used, whereas, for the superconductive-joint, the lap joint method were used. In the resistive-joint tape, it was observed that the electrical properties such as current transport property, n-value, and contact resistance of the tape were significantly related to the resistivity of filler materials. On the other hand, in the superconducting-joint tape, the current transport property was dependent on the uniaxial pressure. Specifically, the current transport property varied 50 to 80% with uniaxial pressure, probably due to the irregular microstructure in the transition region.
