Stoichiometric and nonstoichiometric $Y_{3-x}Fe_{5+x}O_{12})$ polycrystalline samples (x=0.00, 0.05, 0.10, 0.30, -0.05, -0.10, -0.30) were prepared by solid state reaction method. The magnetic properties of the sample were investigated by FMR (ferromagnetic resonance) technique at microwave frequency 5.11 GHz (G-band) and 23.39 GHz (K-band) respectively. The spectroscopic splitting factor g were estimated to be 2.04~2.35 from the derivative absorption lines. As the samples became yttrium $(Y^{3+})$ excess and iron $(Fe^{3+})$ excess, Magnetizations were decreased. But resonance linewidth were increased. To investigate the anisotropy, the angular dependence of resonance magnetic fields were measured. Angular dependence of effective magnetizations were measured by FMR from 77 K to 300 K at K-band microwave frequency (23.39 GHz) and the saturation magnetizations were measured by VSM. The Bloch coefficients B and C were determined by fitting. $M_{eff}(0)$ was obtained by the extrapolation from 80 K. From this result, the spin wave stiffness constant D $(about\; 162~206 \;eV{\AA}^2)$and average square range of exchange interaction $$$(about \;5.84~12.13\;{\AA}^2)$ were determined.

Most of mold manufacturing procedures have been automated by the introduction of NC machine tool and CAD/CAM system. But the three-dimensional surface curvature of the mold must be done by hand work of well-skilled workers. Magnetic abrasive polishing powders were investigated for surface polishing for 3D curvature. This study aims to investigate homogeneously distributed hard phase in Fe matrix and strong bonding between Fe-matrix and hard phase. The NbC powder, $B_4C$ powder and $Al_2O_3$ powder were mixed in Fe-matrix respectively. Mixed Fe-hard phase powders were compacted by press and then these were melted by plasma melting. According to SEM, XRD and OM observation, Fe-NbC magnetic abrsive powder had the most homogeneous distribution and strong bonding. As a result of magnetic polishing, the surface roughness before magnetic polishing, 1 ${\mu}m$ $R_{max}$, was reduced to 0.2 ${\mu}m$ $R_{max}$ over the entire inner surface of the tube.

Bilayers of soft NiFe (150 nm-420 nm) on hard Ni (150 nm) were prepared by electrodeposition. The process of magnetization reversal in the NiFe/Ni bilayers was then investigated. The hysteresis loop generated by a magnetization reversal of soft NiFe under a positive saturation state of a hard Ni layer shows a shift along the negative field axis, which is clear evidence for the exchange spring effect in the NiFe/Ni bilayers. The dependence of the coercive field $H_c$ and exchange bias field Hex on the thickness of the NiFe layer was also investigated. As the NiFe thickness increases from 150 nm to 420 nm, both $H_c$ and $H_{ex}$ decrease rapidly from $H_c$= 51.7 Oe and $H_{ex}$ = 12.2 Oe, and saturate to $H_c$ = 5.8 Oe and $H_{ex}$ = 3.5 Oe.

The addition of titanium has come to produce an increase in the conductivity of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ and has been shown NTC ( negative temperature coefficient ) characteristics. Titanium enters the ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ lattice substitutionally as $Ti^{4+}$,thus producing an $Fe^{2+}$ and maintaining the average charge per cation at three. Thus the $Fe^{2+}$ acts as a donor center with respect to the surrounding $Fe^{3+}$ ions. The sintering temperature, compacting pressure and sintering tire have an effect on the electrical properties. C-V and other properties have been measured on polycrystalline samples of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ containing small deviations from stoichiometry and small amounts of added Titanium. This measurment was made in the course of an investigation of the NTC mechanism in oxides whose cations have a partially filled d-level. C-V and frequency properties have been applied to the measurement of the trap barrier properties at the grain boundary. The double Schottky barrier at the grain boundary is the major cause of the NTC mechanism in NTC thermistor of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ containing N-type impurity.

Theoretical and numerical assessments of approximate evaluations and simplified analyses of piezoelectric structures transverse shear modal effective electromechanical coupling coefficient (EMCC) are presented. Therefore, the latter is first introduced theoretically and its approximate evaluations are reviewed; then, three-dimensional (3D) and simplified two-dimensional (2D) plane-strain (PStrain) and plane-stress (PStress) piezoelectric constitutive behaviors of electroded shear piezoceramic patches are derived and corresponding expected short-circuit (SC) and open-circuit (OC) frequencies and resulting EMCC are discussed; next, using a piezoceramic shear sandwich beam cantilever typical benchmark, a 3D finite element (FE) assessment of different evaluation techniques of the shear modal effective EMCC is conducted, including the equipotential (EP) constraints effect; finally, 2D PStrain and PStress FE modal analyses under SC and OC electric conditions, are conducted and corresponding results (SC/OC frequencies and resulting effective EMCC) are compared to 3D ones. It is found that: (i) physical EP constraints reduce drastically the shear modal effective EMCC; (ii) PStress and PStrain results depend strongly on the filling foam stiffness, rendering inadequate the use of popular equivalent single layer models for the transverse shear-mode sandwich configuration; (iii) in contrary to results of piezoelectric shunted damping and energy harvesting popular single-degree-of-freedom-based models, transverse shear modal effective EMCC values are very small in particular for the first mode which is the common target of these applications.

The large container ships and fast patrol boats are complex marine structures. Therefore, their global mechanical behaviour has long been modeled mostly by refined beam theories. Important issues of cross section warping and bending-torsion coupling have been addressed by introducing special functions in these theories with inherent assumptions and thus compromising their robustness. The 3D solid Finite Element (FE) models, on the other hand, are accurate enough but pose high computational cost. In this work, different marine vessel structures have been analysed using the well-known Carrera Unified Formulation (CUF). According to CUF, the governing equations (and consequently the finite element arrays) are written in terms of fundamental nuclei that do not depend on the problem characteristics and the approximation order. Thus, refined models can be developed in an automatic manner. In the present work, a particular class of 1D CUF models that was initially devised for the analysis of aircraft structures has been employed for the analysis of marine structures. This class, which was called Component-Wise (CW), allows one to model complex 3D features, such as inclined hull walls, floors and girders in the form of components. Realistic ship geometries were used to demonstrate the efficacy of the CUF approach. With the same level of accuracy achieved, 1D CUF beam elements require far less number of Degrees of Freedom (DoFs) compared to a 3D solid FE solution.

Conventionally, metal materials are produced by subtractive manufacturing followed by melting. However, there has been an increasing interest in additive manufacturing, especially metal 3D printing technology, which is relatively inexpensive because of the absence of complicated processing steps. In this study, we focus on the effect of varying powder size on the synthesis quality, and suggest optimum process conditions for the preparation of AlCrFeNi high-entropy alloy powder. The SEM image of the as-fabricated specimens show countless, fine, as-synthesized powders. Furthermore, we have examined the phase and microstructure before and after 3D printing, and found that there are no noticeable changes in the phase or microstructure. However, it was determined that the larger the powder size, the better the Vickers hardness of the material. This study sheds light on the optimization of process conditions in the metal 3D printing field.

In this study, we perform 3-D reconstruction of human proximal femur from DICOM files by using voxel mesh algorithm. After 3-D reconstruction, the model converted to Finite Element model which developed for automatically making not only 3-D geometrical model but also FE model from medical image dataset. During this job, trabecular pattern, one of characteristic of human bone can be added to the model by means of giving it's own elastic property calculated from intensity in CT scanned image to the each voxel. And then another model is made from same image dataset which have two material properties - one corresponds to cortical bone, another to trabecular bone. Finally, validity of voxel mesh technique is verified through comparing results of FE analysis, free vibration and stress analysis.

For cuboid and ellipsoid crystallites of LiFePO₄ powders, by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and microscopic (TEM) studies, it is possible to determine the anisotropic parameters of the crystallite size distribution functions. These parameters were used to describe the cathode rate capability within the model of averaging the diffusion coefficient D over the length of the crystallite columns along the [010] direction. A LiFePO₄ powder was chosen for testing the developed model, consisting of big cuboid and small ellipsoid crystallites (close to them). When analyzing the parts of big and small rate capabilities, the fitting values D = 2.1 and 0.3 nm²/s were obtained for cuboids and ellipsoids, respectively. When analyzing the results of cyclic voltammetry using the Randles-Sevcik equation and the total area of projections of electrode crystallites on their (010) plane, slightly different values were obtained, D = 0.9 ± 0.15 and 0.5 ± 0.15 nm²/s, respectively. We believe that these inconsistencies can be considered quite acceptable, since both methods of determining D have obvious sources of error. However, the developed method has a clearly lower systematic error due to the ability to actually take into account the shape and statistics of crystallites, and it is also useful for improving the accuracy of the Randles-Sevcik equation. It has also been demonstrated that the shape engineering of crystallites, among other tasks, can increase the cathode capacity by 15% by increasing their size correlation coefficients.

The damping property of Fe-12Cr-22Mn-X alloys has been investigated to develop high damping and high strength alloy. Particularly, the effect of the phase of austenite, alpha and epsilon martensite, which constitute the structure of the alloys Fe-12Cr-22Mn-X alloys, on the damping capacity at room temperature has been investigated. Various fraction of these phases were formed depending on the alloy element and cold work degree. The damping capacity is strongly affected by ${\varepsilon}$ martensite while the other phase, such as ${\alpha}'$ martensite, actually exhibit little effect on damping capacity. In case of Fe-12Cr-22Mn-3Co alloy, the large volume fraction of ${\varepsilon}$ martensite formed at about 30% cold rolling, and in case of Fe-12Cr-22Mn-1Ti alloy, formed at about 20% cold rolling and showed the highest damping capacity. Damping capacity showed higher value in Fe-12Cr-22Mn-1Ti alloy than one in Fe-12Cr-22Mn-3Co alloy.
