The dual stage manipulator is composed of the voice coil motor (VCM) and piezoelectric ceramics transducer (PZT), which can produce the high precise displacement and express a well dynamic performance. However, inaccurate modeling of the dual stage will exacerbate the positioning accuracy. This paper presents an approach to model the dual stage system by using bond graph theory. And the state space equations can be derived through the bond graph straightforwardly, which can be used in computing simulations. Through designing the compensators for the dual stage system and simulating, the dual stage performs better dynamics characteristic than the single actuator system.

Zinc coating on carbon steels give the higher corrosion resistance in chloride containing environments and in carbonated concrete. However, hydrogen evolution accompanies the corrosion of zinc in the initial activity in fresh concrete, which can lead to the formation of a porous structure at the reinforcement -concrete interface, which can potentially reduce the bond-strength of the reinforcement with concrete. The present study examines the mechanism of the corrosion of hot-dip galvanized steel in detail, as in the model pore solutions and real concrete. Calcium ion plays an important role in the corrosion mechanism, as it prevents the formation of passive layers on zinc at an elevated alkalinity. The corrosion rate of galvanized steel decreases in accordance with the exposure time; however, the reason for this is not the zinc transition into passivity, but the consumption of the less corrosion-resistant phases of hot-dip galvanizing in the concrete environment. The results on the electrochemical tests have been confirmed by the bond-strength test for the reinforcement of concrete and by evaluating the porosity of the cement adjacent to the reinforcement.

1,3,2-Dioxaphosphorinanes are suitable compounds for studying the stereochemistry of substitution at phosphorus. Cis- and trans-5-hydroxymethl-5-methyl-2-thiono-2ethoxy-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinane were prepared, and their structures and stereochemistry unambiguously assigned by NMR and X-ray crystallography with acetoxy and 3,5-dinitrobenzoyloxy derivatives, respectively. Trans isomer gave $^{31}P$ NMR signal at higher field than cis isomer, and the ring proton Spectrum of cis isomer showed characteristic pattern for identifying its geometry. In X-ray crystallography they adopted a chair conformation with the ethoxy groups in the axial positions, and the sulfide groups in the equatorial positions. A flattening of the ring around the phosphorus center was noted, the POC bond angles were about $120^{\circ}$, and the C-O bonds in the ring were significantly longer than the C-O bond for the ethoxy group or the C-O bond for hydroxyl group.

The study investigates how financial markets respond to a shock to tone and semantic similarity of the Bank of Thailand press releases. The techniques in natural language processing are employed to quantify the tone and the semantic similarity of 69 press releases from 2010 to 2018. The corpus of the press releases is accessible to the general public. Stock market returns and bond yields are measured by logged return on SET50 and short-term and long-term government bonds, respectively. Data are daily from January 4, 2010, to August 8, 2019. The study uses the Structural Vector Auto Regressive model (SVAR) to analyze the effects of unanticipated and temporary shocks to the tone and the semantic similarity on bond yields and stock market returns. Impulse response functions are also constructed for the analysis. The results show that 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 1-year bond yields significantly increase in response to a positive shock to the tone of press releases and 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, 1-year and 25-year bond yields significantly increase in response to a positive shock to the semantic similarity. Interestingly, stock market returns obtained from the SET50 index insignificantly respond to the shocks from the tone and the semantic similarity of the press releases.

The cost of repairing the deterioration of concrete structures due to corrosion of the reinforcement steel has been the prominent figure in the maintenacne of the reinforced-concrete infrastructures. As an alternative material to steel reinforcement, the use of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) bar in concrete is being actively studied for the high resistance of chemical environment and high strength to weight ratio properties of GFRP. However, there remain various aspects of GFRP properties that still need to be studied before the standard design criteria can be established. One of the imminent issues is the bond between GFRP and concrete. In this study, the bond-behavior of GFRP bars in concrete is investigated via the pullout test with varying parameters: surface condition of GFRP bars and concrete compression strength. And the local bond-stress model of GFRP rabars with applying monotonc load was also derived from the present test.

In this study, an impact resistance of concrete segmented composites adopted shell's structures which have the excellent impact resistance was assessed. In order to enhance the performances of concrete segmented composite, the bond strength of mortar between the concrete blocks should be improved. Hence, in this study polymer mortars were applied to increase the bond strength of mortar. From the results of bond tests, the 15% latex mortar was selected and static and low-velocity impact tests were carried out for the specimens applied the plain and latex mortar. The concrete segmented composites, of which the bond strength of mortar was enhanced, showed improved low-velocity impact resistances. A Nonlinear finite element analysis using the discrete crack model showed similar energy dissipating capacities to the impact test's results. Consequently, by improving the analysis models for segmented composites, the impact resistances for manifold variables can be predicted and assessed.

Splice of reinforcement is inevitable in reinforced concrete structures and, generally, lap splices are used. Lap length for tension splice is determined from development length in tension. The development length is calculated from an experimental model which was based on data of tests on anchorage and splice. Longitudinal reinforcements in flexural members are deformed and, therefore, prying action happens in spliced reinforcements unlike anchored reinforcements. The prying action induces tensile stress in cover concrete and this tensile stress plays the same role to a circumferential tensile stress caused by bond. Because splitting failure is assumed to occur when the summation of tensile stresses caused by the prying action and the bond is equal to the tensile strength of the concrete, the prying action reduces the bond strength of spliced reinforcements. A theoretical model for the prying action is developed and effects of the prying action on the bond strength are assessed. The tensile stress by the prying action is proportional to tensile strength and modulus of elasticity of reinforcements. In addition, the tensile stress is inversely proportional to spacing of reinforcements. Consequently, longer splice length is required for spliced reinforcements with small spacing in flexible members.

In the present study, we attempted to apply DV-X$\alpha$ method to expressing the reactivity of materials. The expression of reactivity was discussed by comparison between ${\gamma}$-C$_2$G having hydraulic activity and ${\gamma}$-C$_2$S not having hydraulic activity at normal conditions. It was found that the model cluster used for calculation can finely reproduce the bulk and surface states using with and without point charge, respectively. The hydration state was also represented by placing OH￣ on the surface of the cluster. It was calculated that the bond strength of the first layer (as surface) was bigger than that of inner layers (as bulk) for ${\gamma}$-C$_2$S while that of the first layer for ${\gamma}$-C$_2$G was smaller than that of inner layers. Subsequently a model in which OH￣ is coordinated on Ca at the surface was also calculated. The bond strength with OH￣ was stronger than that without OH￣, while for ${\gamma}$-C$_2$G the bond strength with OH￣ was weaker than that without OH￣. From these results, it is concluded that the hydraulic activity depends on whether the bond strength for hydrated state becomes weaker than that unhydrated state or not.

In this study, the interfacial bond strength of a squeeze infiltrated $Al_{18}B_{4}O_{33}$/AS52 Mg composite was investigated by using a finite element method. Three types of Mg composites with volume fractions of 15, 25 and 35% were fabricated. Three-dimensional models of the composite were developed by using a unit cell model in order to determine the effective elastic modulus of the metal matrix composite and the interfacial bond strength between the whisker and magnesium matrix. After modeling, numerical results were compared with the experimental tensile test results of $Al_{18}B_{4}O_{33}$/AS52 Mg composites. The results showed that the effective modulus of the composite strongly depended on the interfacial strength between the matrix and reinforcement. Based on the numerical and experimental findings, it was found that the strong interfacial bond was achieved by the interfacial reaction product of 30 nm thick MgO, which led to an improvement in the mechanical properties of the $Al_{18}B_{4}O_{33}$/AS52 Mg composites.
