  • The research on the confinement behavior of ultra high performance concrete without and with the use of steel fibers (UHPC and UHPFRC) has been extremely limited. In previous studies, authors experimentally investigated the axially compressive behavior of circular steel tube confined concrete (STCC) short and intermediate columns with the employment of UHPC and UHPFRC. Under loading on only the concrete core, the confinement effect induced by the steel tube was shown to significantly enhance the utimate stress and its corresponding strain of the concrete core. Therefore, this paper develops a simplified stress - strain model for circular STCC columns using UHPC and UHPFRC with compressive strength ranging between 150 MPa and 200 MPa. Based on the regression analysis of previous test results, formulae for predicting peak confined stress and its corresponding strain are proposed. These proposed formulae are subsequently compared against some previous empirical formulae available in the literature to assess their accuracy. Finally, the simplified stress - strain model is verified by comparison with the test results.

  • Streptomyces sp. No.8, which produced glucose isomerase was isolated from soil samples. The isolated strain, No.8, was identified as belonging to the Genus Streptomyces. A mutant strain, SM 805, showed the greatest ability to produce glucose isomerase. It was developed from the strain, No.8, by mutagenesis induced by NTG and UV treatment. The mutant strain, SM 805, produced about 7 times more glucose isomerase than the parental strain, No.8. This enzyme catalyzed the isomerization of D-xylose, D-glucose and D-ribose. It was inactive in the absence of metal ions, but was activated by the addition of $Mg^{2+}$ or $Co^{2+}$. The optimum temperature and pH for enzyme activity were $80^\circ{C}$ and pH 8.5, respectively. The enzyme was stable in a pH range of 6.0 to 10.0, and it was highly thermostable. There was no activity loss below $80^\circ{C}$, and even above $90^\circ{C}$ about 45% of its activity was retained. The reaction equilibrium was reached when about 53% fructose was present in the reaction mixture. Whole cells containing glucose isomerase from Streptomyces sp. SM 805 were immobilized by glutaraldehyde treatment. The resultant immobilized enzyme pellets showed a relatively long stability during the isomerizing reaction. The half-life of the immobilized enzyme during the operating was 45 days in the presence of 10mM $Mg^{2+}$.

  • The strain rate effects on the interaction between a Mode I matrix crack and an inclined elliptic matrix-inclusion interface under dynamic tensile loadings were investigated numerically, and the results are in agreement with previous experimental data. It is found, for a given material system, that there are the first and the second critical strain rates, by which three kinds of the subsequent crack growth patterns can be classified in turn with the increasing strain rate, namely, the crack deflection, the double crack mode and the perpendicular crack penetration. Moreover, such a crack deflection/penetration behavior is found to be dependent on the relative interfacial strength, the inclined angle and the inclusion size. In addition, it is shown that the so-called strain rate effect on the dynamic strength of granule composites can be induced directly from the structural dynamic response of materials, not be entirely an intrinsic material property.

  • A SAW strain sensor based on Shear Horizontal wave with an 92 MHz central frequency was developed. It consists of SAW sensor, PCB substrate and bonding material (Loctite 401). External force applied to PCB substrate bonded to a piezoelectric substrate induces strain at the substrate surface, which causes changes in the elastic constant and density of the substrate and hence the propagation velocity of the SAW. The change in the velocity of the SAW result in a frequency shift of the sensor and by measuring a frequency shift, we can extract the strain induced by the external force. The $41^{\circ}$ YX $LiNbO_3$ was used because it has a Leaky shear horizontal(SH) wave propagation mode and a high electromechanical coupling coefficient ($K^2$=17.2%). And to compare with Rayleigh wave mode, $128^{\circ}$ YX $LiNbO_3$ was used. And to make a stable and low insert loss, Split IDT structure was used. The obtained sensitivity and linearity of the SAW strain sensor in the case of Split IDT were measured to be 17.2 kHz / % and 0.99, respectively.
