An experimental technique was developed to determine the strain-rate in a tensile specimen. Then one can calculate the transient isothermal elongational viscosity. Both shear and elongational viscosities were measured to study the effect of shear and elongational fields on the flow properties. The comparison between these viscosities shows that the onset of rapid viscosity growth as crystallization solidification proceeds occurs at about the same value of time at very small deformation rates (0.0028 and 0.0047 $s^{-1}$). The comparison of these measured viscosities as functions of shear and elongational Hencky strains also reveals that the onset of rapid viscosity growths starts at critical Hencky strain values. The behaviour of steady shear viscosity as function of temperature sweep was also explored at three different low shear rates. Finally, the influence of changing oscillatory frequencies and strain rates was also investigated.

Cellulose based Electro-Active Papers (EAPap) is very promising material due to its merits in terms of large bending deformation, low actuation voltage, ultra-lightweight, and biodegradability. These advantages make it possible to utilize applications, such as artificial muscles and achieving flapping wings, micro-insect robots and smart wall papers. This paper investigates the in-plane strains of EAPap under electric fields, which are useful for a contractile actuator application The preparation of EAPap samples and the in-plane strain measurement system are explained, and the test results are shown in terms of electric field, frequency and the oriental ions of the samples. The power consumption and the strain energy of EAPap samples are discussed. Although there are still unknown facts in EAPap material, this in-plane strain may be useful for artificial muscle applications.

An upper bound elemental technique(UBET) program has been developed to analyze forging load, die-cavity filling and optimum kinematically admissible velocity fields for flashless forging. The simulation for flashless forgings are applied plane and axisymmetric closed-die forging with rib-web type cavity. The kinematically admissible velocity fields for inverse triangular and inverse trapezoidal elements, are used to analyze flashless forging. Experiments have been carried out with pure plasticine billets at room temperature. Theoretical predictions of the forging load in plane-strain and axisymmetric forging are in good agreement with experimental results.

New typology of failure mechanisms for uniform compression fields are presented based on the classical theory of plasticity, in particular th normality rule, and the limit theorem. The concrete is assumed as a rigid-perfectly plastic material obeying the modified Coulomb failure criteria with zero tension cut-off. The failure mechanisms are capable of explaining flexural types of crushing failure in uniaxial uniform compression stress fields which are called struts in truss models. The failure mechanisms consist of sliding failure along straight failure lines or hyperbolic failure curves and rigid body rotation. The failure mechanisms involving straight failure lines are explained by constant strain expansion in the first principal direction and rigid body rotation motion. The failure mechanisms presented are applied to the explanation of bond failure of bar combined with concrete crushing failure and flexural crushing failure of concrete.

The actinomycete strain PK-A41 was isolated from a soil sample from pepper fields in Ko-yang, Korea. The strain PK-A41 inhibited the mycelial growth of some plant pathogenic fungi and oomycete, Alternaria mali, Colletotrichum orbiculare, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici, Magnaporthe grisea, Rhizoctonia solani, and Phytophthora capsici. The presence of LL-diaminopi-melic acid in the cell wall extract and the nucleotide sequence of the 16S rDNA region of the strain PK-A41 was assigned to Streptomyces scabiei. Further morpho-logical, biochemical, and pathological analyses also confirmed the strain PK-A41 to be S. scabiei, which is pathogenic to potato tubers. The maximum antibiotic production of the strain PK-A41 was achieved when grown on the glycerol peptone broth (GPB) medium for 9 days.

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.

Piezoelectric fields built in I $n_{x}$G $a_1$$_{-x}$N/GaN (x=0.06∼0.1) quantum wells (QWs) have been estimated by comparing the transition energies, both calculated and measured by photoluminescence (PL). The calculation was numerically carried out with a rectangular QW model, where the effective bandgap considering a bowing facto, energy levels quantized for the lowest lying electrons and heavy holes (1e-lhh), and biaxial compressive strain were included except for the piezoelectric fields. The calculated values were observed to be larger (9∼15 meV) than the measured values by PL, which was considered to be caused by the piezoelectric fields built in InGaN/GaN QW interface. In addition, we observed the energy shift by measuring the EPDPL (excitation power-dependent PL), which was compared with the energy difference caused by the piezoelectric fields.

Force is a crucial element to be measured in various industries, especially the machine tool industry. Mega units of force are required in fields such as the heavy and ship industries. Micro/nano units of force are required for microparticles. The detection of force generates a physical transformation due to the force imposed from the outside, atlrnd electrical voltage signals are obtained from the system. For the detection of force, an octagonal ring load cell based on circular ring theory is designed and produced. To design the octagonal strain ring, theoretical values with data from the ANSYS program are compared to determine the size of the octagonal strain ring. An octagonal strain ring of the chosen size is made with the SCM415 material. The strain gauges are attached to the octagonal strain ring, designed to construct a full Wheatstone bridge. The LabVIEW program is used to measure the data, and strain values are found. With the octagonal ring load cell completed in this way, experiments are conducted by imposing forces on the tangential axis and radial axis. Experiments are performed to verify if the octagonal ring load cell conducts measurements properly, and theoretical values are analyzed to find any differences. The data will later be used in further research to develop a machine-tool dynamometer.

Ti-8Ta-3Nb, as a new biomaterial, was prepared by cast and swaging process. Their deformation behavior of Ti-8Ta-3Nb alloy has been characterized on the basis of its flow stress variation obtained from the true strain rate compression testing in the temperature of $700-900^{\circ}C$ and strain rate of $0.001-10\;s^{-1}$. At the strain rates lower than $0.1\;s^{-1}$ and the all temperature ranges which consist of two phase ${\alpha}+{\beta}$ as well as single ${\beta}$ phase fields, the flow curves show a small degree of flow softening behavior. In contrast, the shapes of the flow curves at other strain rates indicate unstable behavior. The shapes of the flow curves were similar in both as-cast and swaged specimen as well as in both ${\alpha}+{\beta}$ phase and ${\beta}$ phase. The flow stress data did not obey the kinetic rate equation over the entire regime of testing but a good fit has been obtained in the intermediate range of temperatures ($750-850^{\circ}C$). In this range, a stress exponent value of about 7.7 in as-cast specimens and about 6.2 in swaged specimens with an apparent activation energy of about 300 kJ/mol and about 206 kJ/mol respectively have been evaluated.
