This investigation was undertaken to establish the technologies of grain refinement and modification, and to characterize material properties, essential for high quality aluminum alloy castings. Grain refinement seldom changed DAS and eutectic Si size, but largely decrease grain size. The variations of grain size induced by grain refinement had a great influence on the elongation without changes in the tensile strength or yield strength. The optimum Ti level lies between 0.1% and 0.16% to achieve the best possible mechanical properties. DAS and grain size were little affected, but eutectic Si size was greatly refined by modification. The variation of eutectic Si size had a great effect on the elongation, impact value, fracture toughness and fatigue crack propagation rate without changes in the tensile strength or yield strength. The Sr content of 0.015% is optimum to modification.

The whisker grows at the plating of a lead frame so that it causes the serious problem like the short. To prove this case, many people have studied the cause and influence of the tin whisker growth. This study explains the grain size affects the growth of the whisker in the lead frame. By these studies about the whisker, the whisker growth is discovered by stresses generated by the intermetallic compound and CTE mismatch in both plating and base metal. The stresses or lattice defect generated in the plating process changes grain structure of plating. Consequently, these various stresses are stabilized by forming unspecified whiskers through lots of grain boundaries. Because the grain boundary is the path of the whisker growth, the smaller grain size exists, the more whiskers grow.

Annually, about 48-60% of sediment discharge of the Mekong River is delivered near the mouths of the Mekong River branches which is mostly coinciding with the southwest (SW) monsoon. This sediment budget in turn will be southwestwardly transported along the coast of the Mekong Delta (MD) during the northeast (NE) monsoon. Analysis of monsoonal changes in grain-size distribution (GSD) of surface sediment contributes to a better understanding of erosion and deposition processes along the MD. This study aims to figure out changes in GSD and sediment textures along the MD between SW and NE monsoons based on 183 surficial sediment samples collected along the MD during two field surveys carried-out in October 2016 and February-March 2017. Compared to the GSD during the SW and NE monsoon, the GSD along the MD changed significantly, especially in the estuary areas and along the coast of Bac Lieu and Ganh Hao. Whereas, in the west coast of the MD, GSD seem no changes between the two seasons. These changes in seabed sediment suggest that sediment with grain-sizes ranging from silt to fine sand can be transported during only a NE season.

As a class of materials, Ni-base superalloys are among the most difficult metal alloys to forge together with refractory metals and cobalt-base superalloys. The mechanical properties of Ni-base superalloys depend very much on grain size and the strengthening phases, $\gamma$' ($Ni_3$(Al,Ti)-type) and $\gamma$".($Ni_3$Nb-type). Especially, the control of grain size remains as a sole means for the control of mechanical properties. The grain size and distribution changes of the wrought superalloys during hot working and heat treatment are mainly controlled by the recrystallization and grain growth behaviors. In this presentation, prediction technology of grain size through the computer-aided process design, and numerical modeling for predicting the microstructure evolution of Ni-base superalloy during hot working were introduced. Also, some case studies were dealt with actual forming processes of Ni-base superalloys.

Chemical oxygen demand (COD), phytoplankton cell number and chlorophyll-a concentration (Chl-a), sediment mean grain size and ignition loss were studied to determine their temporal trends in the study area. Historical data of COD, cell number and Chl-a were gathered from the late 1960s or early 1980s to 1997, and trends in temporal domain were obtained from a simple regression. Sediments for grain size and ignition loss (as organic contents in sediments) were sampled from the Chokchon macrotidal flat bimonthly from September 1990 to November 1996, and were analyzed using the decomposition method of time series analysis. In general, the first three data showed increasing trends based on regression analysis. The trends of sediment grain size fluctuated in a neutral pathway while those of ignition loss yielded no increasing pattern. In contrast with the suggestions from Ahn and Choi (1998) who reported a coarsening variation in sediment grain size to be a cause of the directional and remarkable changes of macrofaunal communities in this area, we could not find such a corresponding variation pattern from our samples. In diagnosing eutrophication, a paradoxical phenomenon was encountered between the trends in water column (COD, cell number and Chl-a) and sediment (ignition loss) data. In this paper, we inferred the possible processes that produce the discrepancy. Some explanations and biological responses to eutrophication were predicted and discussed.

약액주입도결토에 대한 연구의 주 목적중 하나는 약액주입으로 인한 토성변화를 연구하는 것이다. 특히 약액주입으로 인한 흙의 탄성계수나 전단계수와 강도특성의 변화는 우리의 관심을 끌어왔다. 본 연구에서는 입경에 따라 비표면적이 변화하므로 이에 의한 영향을 구명하고져 미고결기와 고 결토에 대한 일축압축 및 삼축압축시험을 실시하여 사질토의 장경이 물유리계약액고결토의 강도 및 강성에 미치는 영향에 대해 고찰하였다. 연구결과 시료토의 날경이 작을수록 고결토의 강도 및 강주이 증대되는 것이 발견되었으며, 모래의 비표면적과 약액겔강도와의 상관성을 구명함으로써 고결토의 담담추정의 가능성을 확인하였다.

Microstructural changes of AlOOH doped UO$_2$pellet after annealing up to 216h have been observed and they were compared with those of the standard pellet. Grain and pore size of UO$_2$pellet increased with the addition of AlOOH and its effect was still validated during annealing. Densification rate was reduced by the addition of AlOOH and it was attributed to coarsened pores with spherical shape. Grain and pore growth was stopped and density increase was the least after 144h of annealing. The variation of pore size resulting from annealing has a linear relationship with that of grain size.

A combined stochastic diffusion and mean-field model is developed for a systematic study of the grain growth in a pure single-phase polycrystalline material. A corresponding Fokker-Planck continuity equation is formulated, and the interplay/competition of stochastic and curvature-driven mechanisms is investigated. Finite difference results show that the stochastic diffusion coefficient has a strong effect on the growth of small grains in the early stage in both two-dimensional columnar and three-dimensional grain systems, and the corresponding growth exponents are ~0.33 and ~0.25, respectively. With the increase in grain size, the deterministic curvature-driven mechanism becomes dominant and the growth exponent is close to 0.5. The transition ranges between these two mechanisms are about 2-26 and 2-15 nm with boundary energy of 0.01-1 J $m^{-2}$ in two- and three-dimensional systems, respectively. The grain size distribution of a three-dimensional system changes dramatically with increasing time, while it changes a little in a two-dimensional system. The grain size distribution from the combined model is consistent with experimental data available.

The effect of grain size on the time-dependent piezoelectrice degradation of a poled PZT of MPB composition Pb0.988Sr0.012 (Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 with 2.4 mol% of Nb2O5 was studied, and the degradation mechanism was discussed. Changes in the internal bias field and the internal stress both responsible for the time-dependent degradation of poled PZT were examined by the polarization reveral technique, XRD and Vickers indentation, respectively. The piezoelectric degradation increased with increasing time and grain size, and the internal bias field due to space charge diffusion decreased with increasing grain size of poled PZT. The internal bias field, however, was almost insensitive to the degradation time regardless of the grain size. On the other hand, both the x-ray diffraction peak intensity ratio of (002) to (200) and the fracture behavior including the crack propagation support that the ferroelectric domain rearrangement of larger grain size showed rapid relaxation of the internal stress compared with smaller one, which is thought the origin of the larger piezoelectric degradation in the former. In conclusion, the contribution of space charge diffusion on the piezoelectric degradation of PZT is strongly dependent on both the grain size and the composition. Thus, the relaxation of internal stress due to the ferroelectric domain rearrangement as well as the amount and time-dependence of the internal bias field due to space charge diffusion should be considered simultaneously in the degradation mechanism of PZT.

본 연구는 저수지의 퇴적작용을 이해하는데 필요한, 저수지퇴적토 코어의 물리적 특성 변화에 대한 기초자료를 제공하기 위하여 수행되었다. 준설작업이 시행된 적이 없는 세 곳의 저수지에서 채취한 퇴적토 코어에 대하여 깊이에 따른 가비중, 유기물량, 평균입자크기, 모래의 비율 변화를 연중 일강수량 50mm이상일 때의 강수량을 합산한 연강수량(AP50) 변화 자료와 비교, 분석하였다. 저수지의 퇴적토 코어는 무기질 토양으로서 유기물은 육상식물의 잔재물로부터 기원하였으며, 유기물 함량이 10% 이하인 미사질양토 퇴적토에서 유기물 함량의 변화는 저수지로 유입되는 토양입자크기의 변화와 관계가 있었다. 퇴적토 코어의 입자크기 및 모래 비율의 급격한 변동은 강수량의 증감과 관계가 있었으며, 저수지의 수위 변화와 유속이 저수지의 퇴적토 형성에 영향을 미칠 수도 있다. AP50의 연간 변동 자료를 기초로 추정하였을 때, 10년 이내의 짧은 기간 동안 약 30cm 이상의 퇴적토가 쌓일 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 저수지에서 짧은 시간 동안 쌓여서 형성된 퇴적토에도 유역에서 발생한 인위적 또는 자연적 사건들이 퇴적토의 물리적 특성들에 반영될 수 있음이 확인되었다.
