The creep behavior and creep fracture of sintered alumina at high temperature were investigated under four point flexural test. Steady-state creep behavior was observed at low bending stress and primary creep until fracture was observed at hish bending stress. The loading history of bending stress did not affect on steady-state creep rate. Intergranular fracture was dominant for fracture of alumina at room and high temperature. However, transgranular fracture was dominant on creep of alumina under high temperature by nucleation and growth of microcracks due to residual flaws or cavities in the material.

We have studied the generation, growth and behavior of chemical species and particles in silane PCVD. We included the plasma chemistry of silane, particle nucleation by homogeneous formation, acrosol dynamics and transport phenomena of chemical species and particles. The concentration profile of chemical species and particles were shown as a function of reactor length. The effects of process variables such as reactor pressure, total gas flow rate and electrical field strength on the behavior of chemical species and particles were analyzed.

The effect of grain size on corrosion resistance and high temperature oxidation behavior was studied in 22Cr-15Ni-5W super austenitic stainless steels for desulfurization equipment as a heat power station. In the high temperature oxidation test, oxidation rate was increased as the temperature increased from $600^{\circ}C\;to\;800^{\circ}C$. In vapor, oxidation rate was faster than that in air. Because the vapor was inhibited nucleation of $Cr_2O_3$ film. And the high temperature oxidation resistance at $600^{\circ}C{\sim}800^{\circ}C$ was excellent from all specimens and specimen of the smallest grain size was the most excellent. Because increasing of diffusion course through the grain-boundary was promoted nucleation and growth of $Cr_2O_3$ film. In the test temperature at $600^{\circ}C{\sim}800^{\circ}C$, Cr rich round particle oxide was formed in air, whereas Fe rich needle type oxide was developed in vapor.

The effect of wheel surface condition on solidification behavior of Al-Cu ribbon was investigated in order to establish extreme levels of heat extraction. The condition of wheel surface was changed either by heating the wheel surface up to $200^{\circ}C$ or by coating boron nitride(BN) onto the the rim of a wheel. Heating the wheel surface up to $200^{\circ}C$ improved the wetting behavior between the molten metal and the rotating wheel, leading to an increase in the ratio of columnar structure to the entire thickness of Al-4.3wt%Cu and Al-33.2wt%Cu ribbons. For Al-4.3wt%Cu ribbon, assuming one grain as a single heterogeneous nucleation event at the contact point, the nucleation density with the wheel surface heated to $200^{\circ}C$, was $4{\times}10^6/mm^2$, and in the cases of BN coating with thin and thick layers, $10^5/mm^2$ and $5{\times}10^4/mm^2$, respectively. The largest cooling capacity of the wheel corresponded to the heated wheel surface, and as the thickness of BN coating layer increased, the cooling capacity of the wheel gradually decreased.

The volatilization of alkali ions in (K,Na)NbO₃ (KNN) ceramics was inhibited by doping them with alkaline earth metal ions. In addition, the grain growth behavior changed significantly as the sintering duration (t_s) increased. At 1,100 ℃, the volatilization of alkali ions in KNN ceramics was more suppressed when doped with alkaline earth metal ions with smaller ionic size. A Ca²⁺-doped KNN specimen with the least alkali ion volatilization exhibited a microstructure in which grain growth was completely suppressed, even under long-term sintering for t_s = 30 h. The grain growth in Sr²⁺-doped and Ba²⁺-doped KNN specimens was suppressed until t_s = 10 h. However, at t_s = 30 h, a heterogeneous microstructure with abnormal grains and small-sized matrix grains was observed. The size and number of abnormal grains and size distribution of matrix grains were considerably different between the Sr²⁺-doped and Ba²⁺-doped specimens. This microstructural diversity in KNN ceramics could be explained in terms of the crystal growth driving force required for two-dimensional nucleation, which was directly related to the number of vacancies in the material.

From results obtained by adjusting experimental variables based on the kinetic, the nucleation rate for formation of precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) was investigated. Formation behavior of PCC was investigated for various concentrations of NaOH solution and $Na_2CO_3$ addition methods in the $Ca(OH)_2$ slurry. The range of nucleation rate was investigated for dissolution rates of major ion concentrations, $Ca^{2+}$ and $CO{_3}^{2-}$. In case of high concentration of major ions, vaterite and calcite were synthesized. The high nucleation rate was achieved for lower either $Ca^{2+}$ or $CO{_3}^{2-}$ ion concentration, calcite was mainly synthesized and when concentration of major ions was low, aragonite was synthesized. Furthermore, the formation of calcite was decreased with increasing concentration of NaOH. homogeneous aragonite could be obtained by addition 5 M NaOH. Therefore, in this study, specific shape of polymorphs could be prepared through controlling supersaturation.

Nanoindentation is simply an indentation test in which the length scale of the penetration is measured in nanometres rather than microns or millimetres, the latter being common in conventional hardness tests. Three-dimensional molecular dynamics simulations have been conducted to evaluate the nanoindentation test. Molecular dynamics simulations were carried out on single crystal copper by varying crystal orientations to investigate nano-behavior of material beneath an indenter in nanoindentation. Morse potential function was used as an interatomic force between indenter and thin film. The result of the simulation shows that crystal orientation significantly influenced the slip system, dislocation nucleation and dislocation behavior.

Tests on the fracture behavior of CFRP-concrete composite bonded interfaces have been extensively carried out. In this study, a progressive damage model is employed to simulate the fracture behaviors. The crack nucleation, propagation and more other details can be captured by these models. The numerical results indicate the fracture patterns seem to depend on the relative magnitudes of the interface cohesive strength and concrete tensile strength. The fracture pattern transits from the predominated adhesive-concrete interface debonding to the dominated concrete cohesive cracking as the interface cohesive strength changes from lower than concrete tensile strength to higher than that. The numerical results have an agreement with the experimental results.

The droplet behavior of 83.9 wt.% HAN water solution was investigated experimentally with various ambient temperature and nitrogen environment. At the initial stage of evaporation under thermal decomposition temperature of HAN, gradual decreasing of droplet diameter was observed. After that, the droplet started to expand due to the internal pressure build up by water nucleation inside the droplet. The micro explosion was observed at higher temperature than the decomposition temperature of HAN and the remaining droplet showed similar behavior of single composition droplet. The decreasing rate was augmented as the ambient temperature increasing.
