Four models in current use for cereal grain drying, equilibrium model, Morey model, partial differential equation model and simplified partial differential equation model, were modified to be suitable for natural air drying of barley. The predicted by the four models and experimental results were compared. Three models except equilibrium model predicted moisture comtent and grain temperature very well. But equilibrium model overpredicted moisture content and grain temperature of bottom layer. The degree of prediction of the four models for relative humidities of exhaust air didn't differ much from one another and equally the four models predicted relative humidity statisfatorily. Morey model took much shorter computing time than any other models. Therefore, considering the degree of prediction and computing time Morey model was the most suitable for natural air drying of barley.

The remaining life estimation for the aged component is very important because mechanical properties of the compo-nents are degraded with time of service exposure in high temperature etc. The destructive method is widely used for the estimation of material degradation, but it has a difficulty in preparing specimens from in-service industrial facilities. In order to evaluate the feasibility of ultrasonic evaluation method for properties of high temperature materials, 2.25Cr-1Mo steel specimens which were prepared by the isothermal aging heat treatment at 63$0^{\circ}C$ were evaluated by ultra-sonic measurements investigating the change of velocities and attenuation coefficient. In this results, attenuation coefficient was found to be sensitive to material degradation mainly attributed to the change of grain size and the precipitation of impurities in grain boundaries, but velocity was not for all specimens.

The flow stress of 304 stainless steel during high during hot forming process were determined by conducting hot compression tests at the range of 1273 K-1423 K and 0.05 /s-2.0 /s as these are typical temperature and strain rate in hot forging operation. Based on the observed phenomena, a constitutive model of flow stress was assumed as a function of strain, strain rate, temperature. Dynamic recrystallization was found to be the major softening mechanism with this conditions as previous studies. A finite element analysis was performed to predict the recrystallized volume fraction and the mean grain size in hot compression of 304 stainless steel.

Impedance spectroscopy was applied to low temperature polycrystalline Si in order to investigate the electrical/dielectric information in polycrystalline Si. By combined microstructure and impedance spectroscopy works, it was shown that the electrical information is sensitive to the corresponding microstructure, i.e., the grain size and distribution, judged from the capacitance vs. grain size relationship. At $360 mJ/cm^2$, the maximum in capacitance and the minimum in resistance correspond to the largest grain sizes of unimodal distribution in polycrystalline Si. The electrical/dielectric characterization is compared with Raman spectroscopic characterizations in terms of microstructure.

Although it was recently observed that severe fatigue damage was formed in Al or Cu interconnects due to the cyclic temperatures generated by Joule heating of the metal lines by the passage of alternating currents (AC), AC loading frequency effect on the damage evolution characteristics are not known so far. This work focused on the effect of AC loading frequency (100 Hz vs. 10 kHz) on the thermo-mechanical fatigue characteristics by using polycrystalline sputtered Cu lines with temperature cycles with amplitudes from 100 to $300^{\circ}C$. It was consistently observed that higher loading frequency accelerated damaged grain growth and led to earlier failure irrespective of Cu grain sizes. The frequency effect is believed to result from differences in the concentration of defects created by the deformation-induced motion of dislocations to the grain boundaries.

The semiconducting BaTiO3 ceramics used in this study were sintered in the reducing atomosphere(hydrogen gas) and neutral atmosphere(nitrogen gas), then were heat-treated in air to vary defect concentrations. In this experiment, the correlations between the composition analysis and electrical characteristics of these samples were investigated. When the BaTiO3 ceramics were sintered in N2 atmosphere, it was observed that the Ba contents near the interface were lower than that of the grain center, and these samples showed superior PTCR effects. From analysis of the resistivities of grains and grain boundaries by CIRM(Complex Impedance Resonance Method), it was confirmed that the PTCR effects were caused by the resistivity of grain boundaries. And from measurement of the capacitance at each temperature, the samples sintered in N2 atmosphere show the increase of room temperature resistance and the decrease of capacitance as a result of the increase of the charge depletion layers. This phenomenon agrees well with the cation deficiencies in the analytical results.

Magnetic multilayers of a ferromagnetic (FM)/insulator (I)/ferromagnetic (FM) structure have been studied to investigate magnetic exchange coupling between two FM layers. As the Mumetal $(Ni_{77}Fe_{14}Mo_{5}Cu_4$ wt%) growth temperature increases, the grain size and the surface roughness increase simultaneously. The smallest coupling field is obtained at $40^\circ{C}$ where the grain size is larger than that of the $20^\circ{C}$ sample. The exchange coupling field increases again at temperatures higher than $40^\circ{C}$ due to increase in the surface roughness of the Mumetal.

In this study, the capacitance-voltage properties of (Sr$_{1-x}$ .Ca$_{x}$)TiO$_3$(0.05$\leq$x$\leq$0.20)-based grain boundary layer ceramics were investigated. The ceramics were fabricated by the conventional mixed oxide method. The sintering temperature and time were 1480~150$0^{\circ}C$ and 4 hours, respectively. The 2nd phase formed by the thermal diffusion of CuO from the surface leads to very excellent dielectric properties, that is, $\varepsilon$$_{r}$>50000, tan$\delta$<0.05, $\Delta$C<$\pm$10%. The capacitance is almost unchanged below about 20[V] but it decreases slowly about 20[V]. The results of the capacitance-voltage properties indicated that the grain boundary was composed of the continuous insulating layers.ulating layers.s.

Bainitic microalloyed steels have drawn a lot of attention because of high strength combined with high toughness. In order to process the alloys easily , it is necessary to get the alloys of high hardenability. Mo and B were added to enhance the hardenability, which was demonstrated by TTT simulation and microstructures. It was also identified using BNCT that B, hardenability raising element, was distributed more evenly as cooling rate went up. Examination of grain coarsening temperature depending upon austenitizing temperature revealed that V and Ti effectively inhibited the grain growth up to $1000^{\circ}C\;and\;1050^{\circ}C$ respectively.

The destructive method is reliable and widely used for evaluating the properties of material but it is time-consuming and difficult to prepare specimens from in-service industrial facilities. In the present research, Barkhausen Noise (BN) has been used to evaluate changes of mechanical properties due to heat treatment condition. The BN voltage (rms voltage) was measured with grain size. The rms voltage of BN increased with the heat treatment temperature ($870{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$) because the grain size increased with the temperature. The rms voltage of BN decreased with various heat treatment processes, such as quenched, tempered and PWHT. The BN can be used for the nondestructive evaluation of the forged reactor vessels. and moreover, it may be effectively used in the field application.
