The applicability of the field-consistency paradigm, which was originally employed for analysis of locking due to constrained energy having the second power of a strain, is extended to the constrained energy having a quadratic form of strain. For the extension, nearly-incompressible plane strain problem is considered by introducing the concept of reduced minimization. The field-consistent analysis of the plane strain problem leads to a clear and systematic understanding on the relation amongst constraints imposed on element, spurious constraint -free optimal points, and integration order used.

The temperature dependence of piezoelectric strain constant and the electric field induced strain are investigated as a function of PT in 0.5[xPT-(1-x)PZ]-0.5PNN ceramics. The piezoelectric strain constant d31 has the highest value(360$\times$10-12m/V) at PT=0.68. The temperature dependence of d31 is improved as Curie temperature of sample is increased, and the electric field dependence of induced strain is decreased with the coercive field increased. This ceramic system shows both piezoelectric effect and electrostrictive effect under the applied electric field. The piezoelectric of tetragonal phase is higher than that of rhombohedral phase, and the magnitude of electrostrictive constant is appeared in the order of morphotropic, rhombohedral and tetragonal phase. The piezoelectric strain constant with applied field must be considered theelectrostrictive effect due to 90$^{\circ}$domain wall displacements, and the displacement of bimorph type actuator agrees with the calulated value well.

The evaluation of the electromechanical properties of HTS CC tapes is one of the foremost procedures to be done to ensure the applicability of superconducting wires to electric devices. A precise measurement of the stress and strain is important in deriving the mechanical properties under operating environment. Up to now, there is no standard test method yet for the electromechanical property evaluation of HTS tapes under self field and external magnetic field although there are already reports on the different devices used to evaluate these properties. Strain can be measured by adopting a strain gauge or a high resolution double extensometer. In this study, strain effect on $I_c$ in HTS CC tapes under magnetic fields was evaluated. Comparison of advantages and setback of strain measuring devices were discussed. In addition, a dual strain measurement system using both the SG and extensometer may be practical to lessen the burden in case one of the measuring devices does not work well.

To develop the piezoelectric actuator, the structural, dielectric and piezoelectric properties and electric fieldinduced strain of the ceramics(Pb$\_$1-2/Ba$\_$x/)[Mg$\_$1/2/W$\_$1/2/)$\_$0.03/-Ni$\_$1/3/Nb$\_$2/3/)$\_$0.12/-(Zr$\_$0.5/Ti$\_$0.5/)$\_$0.85/]O$_3$(x=0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, 0.1) were investigated with the substitution of Ba. The tetragonality of crystal structure and grain size decreased by the substitution of Ba. Curie temperature decreased due to the decrease of the tetragonality, and dielectric constants increased with the substitution of Ba. The coercive field, remnant polarization and electromechanical coupling factor also decreased, whereas the piezoelectric constatns d$\_$33/ and d$\_$31/ were showed the highest value of 430 and 209(x10$\^$-12/C/N), respectively, because of the increase of dielectric constant. The strain induced by 60Hz AC electric field had the maximum value of 204x10$\^$-6/Δℓ/ℓ at the substitution of Ba 3mol%. As the applied electric field approaches to the coercive field, the piezoelectric element is depolarized and the electric field induced strain revealed non-linearity.

Strain IV caused highest reduction of germination and caused abnormal elongation of all part of the plant which finally died. Milyang 23 and Nampungbyeo formed mesocotyl. Samnambyeo and Jinjubyeo did not formed mesocotyl on the soil surface in nursery boxes when they were planted on soil infested with each strain of F. moniliforme. Infected seedlings with mesocotyl recovered after transplanting in the the field. The most frequency of Strain IV was isolated from infected rices and this strain was isolated from all part of rice. When rice seedling infected with Strain IV were transplanted in paddy field, most of rice showed Bakanae symptom. Ear emergence of rice was more delayed when seedlings infected with Strain IV were transplanted than that of healthy plant. Number of panicle per hill and grain yield from rice when infected rice seedling by Strain IV were transplanted were more decreased than that of the healthy plant in paddy field.

The feasibility of using combined treatments of electric field and chemical mutagen N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitroso-guanidine (NTG) for the strain improvement of Saccharomyces sp. in ethanol production was examined. The treatment of electric field alone resulted in no effect on the lethality of yeast cells under the conditions of this study. However, when the electric field was applied together to the treatment of yeast cells with NTG, the electric field increased the lethal effect and auxotrophic mutation rate of NTG. The combined treatment of electric field and NTG also increased the chances of. obtaining superior yeast strains for the ethanol production from tapioca. A higher number of improved clones was obtained by the combined treatments of electric field and NTG than by the NTG treatment alone. The best clone, NF 30-9, which was also obtained by the combined treatment, produced $11.07\%$ (w/v) ethanol from tapioca slurry containing 25% (w/v) reducing sugar while the parental strain produced 9.77% (w/v).

The contribution of the non-$180^{\circ}C$ domains to the electric-field-induced strains (EFI-strains) of PZT ceramics was evaluated by an XRD method and by an interferometric method. The XRD intensity ratio of 200 and 002 diffraction peaks of tetragonal PZT was measured under strong electric fields. The amount of the $90^{\circ}$ domain reorientation was evaluated and the strain due to the domain reorientation was calculated. It was confirmed that the EFI-strain of PZT ceramics was equal to the sum of the strain calculated from the d$_33$ constant determined by the resonance-antiresonance method and the strain due to the $90^{\circ}$ domain reorientation. The amount of the $90^{\circ}$domain reorientation has a linear relation with the c/a ratio in the "soft" PZT ceramics. A Mech-Zehnder interferometer was constructed to measure the EFI-strains vs. electric-field curves of PZT ceramics as a function of frequency. The EFI-strain vs. electric-field curve showed a hysteresis due to the effect of the non-$180^{\circ}$ domain reorientation when the applied voltage was high and its frequency was low. The apparent piezoelectric constant increased from the d$_33$ value determined by the resonance-antiresonance method with decreasing frequency. This deviation was attributed to the non-$180^{\circ}$ domain contribution.tribution.

The strain distribution in a wide strip drawn through a wedge-shaped die is obtained from the numerical integration of strain increments along the flow path of material points in the slipline field for a non-hardening material under the plane strain condition. It is shown that the strain in the surface layer increases with friction and that the strain at the mid-plane is a function of area reduction only. The redundant deformation factor, obtained from the average strain in a drawn strip, increases with friction. For the workability analysis of a strip drawing process, the strain states along with hydrostatic stresses are needed for the evaluation of a damage function based on the hole-growth mechanism of ductile fracture. The critical maximum of the damage function is assumed to be a material constant. As a result, mid-plane cracking is likely to occur in a process at a small reduction, with a large die angle, and in poor lubrication. Distortions of an initially transverse line are also calculated.

Effects of electric-field-induced lattice distortion on the polarization and strain were investigated in Pb(Mg/sub 1/3/Nb/sub 2/3)O₃ relaxor ferroelectric ceramics in the temperature range of -50℃∼90℃. The ratio of residual strain and polarization (S/sub r//P/sub r/ rarely depends on the temperature. However, the ratio of the electric field included strain and polarization (S/sub induced//P/sub induced/) increased as the temperature decreases below phase transition temperature. To explain these experimental results, a simple rigid ion model concentrating on only Bo/sub 6/ octahedron was suggested.
