This study describes the tensile test results of AISI type 304 under room and elevated temperatures. The tensile tests for AISI type 304, which is widely used for airframe structural applications, are performed according to ASTM standard. Normal probability plot was used to evaluate A and B Basis value for tensile strengths. Ramberg-Osgood parameter assuming an exponential relationship between stress and small plastic strain was obtained by least square estimate for test data. After room and elevated temperature tensile tests the surface of fractured specimens was observed by SEM images and EDX.

In order to clarify the effect of Nb addition on the ductile-brittle transition property of sintered TiC, TiC-10 mol% Nb composites were researched using a three-point bending test at temperatures from room temperature to 2020 K, and the fracture surface was observed by scanning electron microscopy. It was found that the Nb addition decreases the ductile-brittle transition temperature of sintered TiC by 300 K and increases the ductility. The room temperature bending strength was maintained at up to 1800 K, but drastically dropped at higher temperatures in pure TiC. The strength increased moderately to a value of 320MPa at 1600 K in TiC-10 mol% Nb composites, which is 40% of the room temperature strength. Pores were observed in both the grains and the grain boundaries. It can be seen that, as Nb was added, the size of the grain decreased. The ductile-brittle transition temperature in TiC-10 mol% Nb composites was determined to be 1550 K. Above 1970 K, yieldpoint behavior was observed. When the grain boundary and cleavage strengths exceed the yield strength, plastic deformation is observed at about the same stress level in bending as in compression. The effect of Nb addition is discussed from the viewpoint of ability for plastic deformation.

The fatigue crack growth behavior of the SA516/60 steel used for pressure vessels was examined experimentally at room temperatures $25^{\circ}C$,$-30^{\circ}C$, $-60^{\circ}C$, $-80^{\circ}C$, $-100^{\circ}C$ and $-120^{\circ}C$ with stress ratio of R=0.05, 0.1 and 0.3. fatigue crack propagation rate da/dN related with stress intensity factor range $\Delta$K was influenced by stress ratio in stable than fatigue crack growth (Region II) with an increase in $\Delta$K. The resistance of fatigue crack growth at low temperature is higher compared with that at room temperature, which is attributed to the extent of plasticity-induced by compressive residual stress according to the cyclic loads. Fractographic examinations reveal that the differences of the fatigue crack growth characteristics between room and low temperatures are explained mainly by the crack closure and the strengthening due to the plasticity near the crack tip and roughness of the crack faces induced.

Purpose: To investigate the temperature-based differences of cortical bone ultrashort echo time MRI (UTE-MRI) biomarkers between body and room temperatures. Investigations of ex vivo UTE-MRI techniques were performed mostly at room temperature however, it is noted that the MRI properties of cortical bone may differ in vivo due to the higher temperature which exists as a condition in the live body. Materials and Methods: Cortical bone specimens from fourteen donors ($63{\pm}21$ years old, 6 females and 8 males) were scanned on a 3T clinical scanner at body and room temperatures to perform T1, $T2^*$, inversion recovery UTE (IR-UTE) $T2^*$ measurements, and two-pool magnetization transfer (MT) modeling. Results: Single-component $T2^*$, $IR-T2^*$, short and long component $T2^*s$ from bi-component analysis, and T1 showed significantly higher values while the noted macromolecular fraction (MMF) from MT modeling showed significantly lower values at body temperature, as compared with room temperature. However, it is noted that the short component fraction (Frac1) showed higher values at body temperature. Conclusion: This study highlights the need for careful consideration of the temperature effects on MRI measurements, before extending a conclusion from ex vivo studies on cortical bone specimens to clinical in vivo studies. It is noted that the increased relaxation times at higher temperature was most likely due to an increased molecular motion. The T1 increase for the studied human bone specimens was noted as being significantly higher than the previously reported values for bovine cortical bone. The prevailing discipline notes that the increased relaxation times of the bound water likely resulted in a lower signal loss during data acquisition, which led to the incidence of a higher Frac1 at body temperature.

The respiratory experiment was made on laying hen fed acclimented to three temperatures of 10, 20, and 30$^{\circ}C$. 1. The FHP of laying hen decreased with increasing room temperature. 2. The feed intake and heat production(HP) all decreased with increasing temperature. However, the highest energy retention was found with optimum temperature (20$^{\circ}C$). 3, The MEm's were 128,110, and 110kcalkg 0.75 for the 10, 20, and 30$^{\circ}C$ of room temperature. The NAME's were 64,78, and 69 percent for the respective room temperature. The results indicated that the highest NAME was obtained with optimum temperature(20$^{\circ}C$). 4. Although there was no significant difference in the nitrogen retention(NR) at different temperatures, the NR was maximum at the optimum temperature(20$^{\circ}C$). 5. The experimental results suggest that in the Bone of thermal neutrality under cooler and hotter conditions heat loss is more dependent on the environmental temperature.

The effects of heat treatments and testing temperatures on the mechanical properties of Invar materials were investigated through experiments, which call influence the formability in metal forming fields. Annealing temperatures were changed from $900^{\circ}C$ to $1200^{\circ}C$ with an increment of $100^{\circ}C$ under two different furnace atmosphere(vacuum and H$_2$gas). Microstructure and hardness tests were performed for annealed specimens at room temperature(RT) and tensile tests were also performed by changing annealing temperatures as well as testing temperatures from RT to $300^{\circ}C$. The grain size of annealed materials increased with increasing annealing temperature, while micro-hardness distributions showed almost same hardness values regardless of annealing temperatures. Strength ratio (tensile/yield strength), which influences the forming characteristics of sheet metal, remained almost constant for various experimental conditions in case of unannealed specimens. However, it showed increasing tendency with increasing both annealing and testing temperatures, particularly at the testing temperature higher than $200^{\circ}C$. Therefore it can be concluded that press formability of fully-annealed Invar material can be improved by warm forming technique.

This paper demonstrated the performance of a palladium wire hydrogen sensor based on a fiber Bragg grating as a means of developing a quasi-distributed hydrogen sensor network capable of operating at cryogenic temperatures. The new approach employing a fiber Bragg grating based palladium hydrogen sensor described in this study is advantageous over other traditional hydrogen sensors because of the multiplexing capability of fiber Bragg gratings. The sensitivity of the hydrogen sensor at room temperature is approximately 2.5 times that of the hydrogen sensor at cryogenic temperatures.

Creep characteristic is an important failure mechanism when evaluating engineering materials that are soft as polymers or used as mechanical elements at high temperatures. One of the popular thermo-elastic plastics, Polyethylene(PE) which is used broadly for engineering purposes, as it has good properties and merits compared to other plastics, was studied for creep characteristic at various level of stresses and temperatures. From the experimental results, the creep limit of PE at room temperature is 75% of tensile strength. Also the creep limits decreased exponentially as the temperatures increased, up to 50% of the melting point. Also the secondary stage among the three creep stages was nonexistent nor was there any rupture failure which occurred for many metals.

Fatigue strength of NiAl and Ni$_3$Al particulate reinforced aluminum alloy composites fabricated by the diecasting method was examined at room and elevated temperatures. The results were compared wit h that of SiC particulate reinforced one. The particulate reinforced composites showed some improvement in the static and fatigue strength at elevated temperatures when compared with that of Al alloy. The composites reinforced by intermetallic compound particles showed good fatigue strengths at elevated temperatures especially $Ni_3AI_{p}/Al$ alloy composite showed good fatigue limit up to high temperature of 30$0^{\circ}C$. Adopting intermetallic compound particle as a reinforcement phase, it will be possible to develop MMC representing better fatigue property at elevated temperature.

The effects on the performance of natural smoke exhaust ventilators installed in high-rise buildings were analyzed depending on the wind velocities and smoke temperatures using CONTAMW tool. The results showed that the smoke exhaust ventilators can maintain given performances in such conditions as low smoke temperatures and low wind velocities. However, high smoke temperatures and high wind velocities can prevent the smoke ventilators to exhaust smokes from the fire room. Significant changes in stack effects in high-rise buildings can also occur with the opening of smoke ventilators in the fire floor.
