The purpose of the paper is to determine the influence of two widely used steel fibers and polypropylene fibers on the sulphate crystallization resistance, freeze-thaw resistance and surface wettability of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). Tests were carried out on cubes and cylinders of plain UHPC and fiber reinforced UHPC with varying contents ranging from 0.25 to 1% steel fibers and/or polypropylene fibers. Extensive data from the salt resistance test, frost resistance test, dynamic modulus of elasticity test before and after freezing-thawing, as well as the contact angle test were recorded and analyzed. Fiber hybridization relatively increased the resistance to salt crystallization and freeze-thaw resistance of UHPC in comparison with a single type of fiber in UHPC at the same fiber volume fraction. The experimental results indicate that hybrid fibers can significantly improve the adhesion properties and reduce the wettability of the UHPC surface.

A robot manipulator is usually operated in two modes: free motion and constraint motion according to the fact whether the robot comes into contact with the environment or not. At the moment of contact, impact occurs, and sometimes, it can possibly degrade the robot's performance such as vibration and at worst, shortens its lifetime. In this article, a new proposed algorithm is described by introducing a command signal modification method on the basis of impedance control and a validity of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated by showing the simulation study.

Wet foams formed through direct foaming were stabilized using various concentrations of amiphiphilic particles that could control pore size and porosity. These porous materials showed moderate strength upon compression with high porosity. Bubble size and wet foam stability were tailored by amphiphile concentration, particle concentration, contact angle, and pH of the suspension to obtain crack-free porous solid after sintering. Closed and open pores were obtained with sizes of 30~300 ${\mu}m$ and porosities of over 80%.

We develop a wireless, contact free power transfer mechanism that is safer than the direct metallic contact and robust to imperfect alignment on landing at the base station. A magnetic field is created using inductors on both the transmitting and receiving sides. We use the inductive wireless recharging to increase autonomy and decrease the sensor interference by reducing the inductor loop size. By locating four independent small receiver loops and corresponding four circuits around the quadrotor UAV, we can increase safety from circuit malfunctions in comparison to the use of just one loop. On the base station, four folding robotic bars are used to realign the receiver loops over the transmitter loops. After adequate recharging as measured by battery voltages or power consumption at the bae station, the UAV sends a signal to the base station to open the robotic bars and takes off once freed from the robotic bars.

The transient analysis of delaminated smart composite laminates is studied using an improved layerwise laminate theory. The theory is capable of capturing interlaminar shear stresses that are critical to delamination. The presence of discrete delamination is modeled through the use of Heaviside unit step functions. Stress free boundary conditions are enforced at all fee surfaces. Continuity in displacement field and transverse shear stresses are enforced at each ply level. In modeling piezoelectric composite plates, a coupled piezoelectric-mechanical formulation is used in the development of the constitutive equations. Numerical analysis is conducted to investigate the effect of nonlinearity in the transient vibration of bimodular behavior caused by the contact impact of delaminated interfaces. Composite plates with delamination, subject to external loads and voltage history from surface bonded sensors, are investigated and the results are compared with corresponding experimental results and plates without delamination.

1H NMR spectra of D2O solutions containing 2,2-dimethylaziridine (1) or 2-methylaziridine (2) and [SiW11COⅡO39]6- (SiW11Co) or [SiW11NiⅡO39]6- (SiW11Ni) exhibit separate signals for the free ligand and the complex, indicating that the ligand exchange is slow on the NMR time scale. Identified are two linkage isomers with the methyl group of 2 at trans or cis position with respect to the metal. The isotropic shifts of 1 and 2 coordinated to SiW11Ni originate mainly from the contact shifts, and they agree reasonably with the relative values reported for similar ligands coordinated to bis(2,4-pentanedionato)nickel(Ⅱ). The isotropic shifts for the SiW11Co complexes were separated into contact and pseudocontact contributions. The pseudocontact shifts show that (χ∥-χ⊥) is positive, while that for the SiW11Co complexes of pyridine derivatives is negative. This result indicates that the ordering of dxy and dxz, dyz orbitals in SiW11Co complexes can be reversed by ligands.

A Series of hydrophilic-hydrophobic copolymeric surfaces of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and various alkyl methacrylate (RMA) have been prepared by in-situ solution copolymerization using a redox radical initiator. Contact angles of various probing fluids on the polymeric surfaces were determined in air (hydrophobic environment) and under water (hydrophilic environment). From contact angle data, the dispersive interaction contribution (${\gamma}^d_s$) and the polar contribution (${\gamma}^p_s$) to the total surface free energy (${\gamma}^d_s$) and interfacial energetic quantities (e.g., water-polymer, liquid-polymer interface, etc.) were estimated by surface and interface physicochemical theory. From the comparison of surface energetic components between hydrophobic and hydrophilic media, it is found that surface and interface energetic components of polymeric surface as a representative low-energy surface are highly dependent on environmental fluids. Also, from the correlation between interfacial energetic results and surface energetic criterion of biocompatibility, we found that HEMA/BMA, HEMA/HMA copolymer systems are in the region of biocompatibility.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the degree of occlusal contact under the fixed implant prosthesis of partially edentulous patients which was hased on occlusal concept of implant prosthesis. From the patients who have free-standing implant supported prosthesis of unilateral partially edentulous area, occlusal and occlusal contact point of th enatural tooth side and implant side of light closure and heavy closure were analyzed by T-scan system throuht pre-and post-adjustment and the degree of occlusal contact was estimated by Shimstock. The following results were obtained : 1. The occlusal force of natural tooth side(NF) from mid-sagittal axis was relatively constant at light and heavy closure through pre-and post-adjustment, but the occlusal force of implant side(IF) was decreased significantly at light closure(P<0.01) and heavy closure(P<0.05) of post-adjustment. 2. Natural tooth side-implant side moment(MIMoment) fo occlusal force from mid-sagittal axis was significant(p<0.05) through pre-and post-adjustment and the deviation from mid-sagittal axis was increased at light closure of post-adjustment, but was decreased at heavy closure of post-adjustment. 3. Comparing the NF and IF, IF was greater at heavy closure of pre-adjustment, and NF was greater at light closure of post-adjustment, and the NF and IF was relatively equally distributed at light closure of pre-adjustment and at heavy closure of post-adjustment. 4. The number of occlusal contact point of natural tooth side(NC) was relatively constant through pre-and post-adjustment, but the number of occlusal contact point of implant side(IC) was significantly decreased(P<0.05) at light closure of post-adjustment, and was not significant but was lesser at heavy closure of post-adjustment. 5. Difference of the NC and IC was greater at light closure of post-adjustment, but it was less at heavy closure of post-adjustment, and therefore occlusal contact point of natural tooth side and implant side was relatively equally distributed at heavy closure of postadjustment. 6. When bilaterally distribution of occlusal force and occlusal contact point was established, degree of occlusal contact of implant suporoted prosthesis with opoosing teeth at light clousre was $34.13{\pm}21.69{\mu}m$.

The updated Lagrangian Finite Element Method is introduced to analyse rigid body-fluid impact problem which is characterized by incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and impact-contact conditions between free surface and rigid body. For the convenience of numerical computation, velocity fields are splinted into vicous and pressure parts, and then the governing equations and boundary conditions are decomposed in accordance with the decomposition. However, Viscous stresses acting an the solid boundaries are neglected on the assumption that very small velocity gradients may occur during extremely small time interval of the impact. Four coded quadrilateral elements are used to discretize the space domain and the fully explicit time-marching algorithm is employed with a reasonably small time step. At the beginning of each time step, contact velocity of the rigid body is computed from the momentum balance between the body and the fluid. The velocity field is then computed to satisfy the discretized equations of motions and incompressibility and contact constraints as well as an exact free surface boundary condition. At the end of each time step, the fluid domain is updated from the velocity field. In the present time stepping numerical analysis, behaviour of the free surface near the body can be observed without any difficulty which is very important in the water impact problem. The applicability of the algorithm is illustrated by a wedge type falling body problem. The numerical solutions for time-varying pressure distributions and impact loadings acting ion the surface are obtained.
