In this paper, lattice Boltzmann method(LBM) results for a laminar flow in a microchannel with rough surface are presented. The surface roughness is modeled as an array of rectangular modules placed on the top and bottom surface of a parallel-plate channel. The effects of relative surface roughness, roughness distribution, and roughness size are presented in terms of the Poiseuille number. The roughness distribution characterized by the ratio of the roughness height to the spacing between the modules has a negligible effect on the flow and friction factors. Finally, a significant increase in the Poiseuille number is observed when the surface roughness is considered, and the effects of roughness on the microflow field mainly depend on the surface roughness.

The current study investigates the dynamic effects in the tornado-structure response of an aeroelastic self-supported lattice transmission tower model tested under laboratory simulated tornado-like vortices. The aeroelastic model is designed for a geometric scale of 1:65 and tested under scaled down tornadoes in the Wind Engineering, Energy and Environment (WindEEE) Research Institute. The simulated tornadoes have a similar length scale of 1:65 compared to the full-scale. An extensive experimental parametric study is conducted by offsetting the stationary tornado center with respect to the aeroelastic model. Such aeroelastic testing of a transmission tower under laboratory tornadoes is not reported in the literature. A multiaxial load cell is mounted underneath the base plate to measure the base shear forces and overturning moments applied to the model in three perpendicular directions. A three-axis accelerometer is mounted at the level of the second cross-arm to measure response accelerations to evaluate the natural frequencies through a free-vibration test. Radial, tangential, and axial velocity components of the tornado wind field are measured using cobra probes. Sensitivity analyses are conducted to assess the variation of the structural dynamic response associated with the location of the tornado relative to the lattice transmission tower. Three different layouts representing the change in the orientation of the tower model relative to the components of the tornado-induced loads are considered. The structural responses of the aeroelastic model in terms of base shear forces, overturning moments, and lateral accelerations are measured. The results are utilized to understand the dynamic response of self-supported transmission towers to the tornado-induced loads.

Mantle heterogeneity is closely related to the distribution and circulation of volatile components in the Earth's interior, and the behavior of volatiles in the mantle strongly influences the rheological properties of silicate rocks. In mantle xenoliths, these physicochemical properties of the upper mantle can be recorded in the form of microstructures and fluid inclusions. In this paper, I summarized and reviewed the results of previous studies related to the characteristics of microstructures and fluid inclusions from peridotite xenoliths beneath the Rio Grande Rift (RGR) in order to understand the evolution and heterogeneity of upper mantle. In the RGR, the mantle peridotites are mainly reported in the rift axis (EB: Elephant Butte, KB: Kilbourne Hole) and rift flank (AD: Adam's Diggings) regions. In the case of the former (EB and KB peridotites), the type-A lattice preferred orientation (LPO), formed under low-stress and low-water content, was reported. In the case of the latter (AD peridotites), the type-C LPO, formed under low-stress and high-water content, was reported. In particular, in the case of AD peridotites, at least two fluid infiltration events, such as early (type-1: CO₂-N₂) and late (type-2: CO₂-H₂O), have been recorded in orthopyroxene. The upper mantle heterogeneity recorded by these microstructures and fluid inclusions is considered to be due to the interaction between the North American plate and the Farallon plate.

Composite deck plate using a pre-assembled re-bar truss for slab with corrugated zinc galvanized sheet iron at manufactory, is given the improvement on design, manufacture, and performance for construction work of cast-in-place reinforced concrete slab by enabling to cast concrete directly without the form work. There are two methods in analyzing composite deck : Simplified 2D analysis and 3D analysis. Although simplified 2D analysis is being used up to date, the use of 3D analysis, allowing for the vierendeel behavior of composite deck by real configuration correlating to bar reducing, is demanded. To compare the simplified 2D analysis applied to allowable stress design with 3D analysis applied to limit state design, 8 specimen are manufactured. Main variables include the depth of slab, the length of span, the diameter of bottom bar and lattice bar, and the presence of corrugated zinc galvanized sheet iron. The comparison from the experimental result and analytical result indicates that applying of simplified 2D analysis is possible for the use of D10 with bottom bar. However, it is more reasonable to apply 3D analysis which allows to indicate vierendeel behavior considered the real configuration.

In modular fixturing systems, a given part or a subassembly is fixed by placing fixture elements such as locators and clamps adequately on a plate with a lattice of holes. It is known that the minimal number of point contacts to restrict translational and rotational motions on a plane is four and the type of three locators and a clamp(3L/1C) is the minimal future. Brost and Goldberg developed the complete algorithm to automatically synthesize 3L/1C types of fixtures which satisfy the condition of form closure. Due to the nature of the fixture, the clearance between the fixture and the part is extremely small. It is hard to load the part repeatedly and accurately for human as well as for robot. However the condition of loadability has not been taken into account in the B&G algorithm. In this paper, a new method to decide a given fixture to be loadable by using configuration space is proposed. A method to plan for a part to be loaded by using compliance safely even in the presence of control and sensing uncertainty is proposed is well.

High Tc oxide superconductor with a Tc above 100 K has been successfully prepared by solid state reaction method in added-Pb BiSrCaCuO system. As compared with 123 compound, the formation reaction of the high Tc requires long time heat treatment. It is due to the transformation from the low Tc phase to high Tc phase. The sintering just below the melting point of the calcined powder mixture is effective on the formation of the high Tc phase in BiSrCaCuO system to be added with Pb. The growth of the high Tc superconducting phase has a thin plate shape, which is characterized by the c parameter of 37${\AA}$. The formation kinetics is also investigated in the samples with different Bi/Pb ratio and the 30% Pb addition is most preferable for the formation of the high Tc phase. The formation of the high Tc phases is delayed by the excessive addition of Pb. The lattice parameter(c) of the unit cell(both the low and high Tc phases) is increased with increase of Pb.

It had been studied the structure and the magnetic properties of singel phase Co2Y(Ba2Co2Fe12O22) powder, one of the hexagonal ferrite. The material was successfully prepared by a commercially applicable coprecipitation method. Adding asqueous solution of BaCl2, CoCl2 and FeCl2(Ba2+:Co2+:Fe2+=1:1:6 in mole ratio) to a mixture of NaOH and hydrogen peroxide solution, coprecipitate was formed with rapid oxidation of ferrous to ferric ion. The coprecipitate transformed to single phase Co2Y powder at heat treatment temperatures as low as 900$^{\circ}C$. The shape of Co2Y particles obtained at 900$^{\circ}C$ was hexagonal plate-like (diameter∼$\mu\textrm{m}$, aspect ratio>10). The structure of the Co2Y was refined by a Rietveld analysis of the measured X-ray diffractogram. The lattice parameters are ao=5.8602${\AA}$ and co=43.512${\AA}$. Co2Y is a soft magnetic material with saturation magnetization 30 emu/g and coecivity 170 . A standard X-ray diffraction pattern for Co2Y is proposed as well.

Single crystals of the superconducting Y-Ba-Cu oxide were grown by a flux technique. Stoichiometric mixture with excess BaO and CuOcontent was melted at 130$0^{\circ}C$, followed by fast cooling to 108$0^{\circ}C$ to prevent crystallizing of CuO. It was then reheated to 110$0^{\circ}C$ followed by being held at this temperature to control the number of nuclei, and cooled by 5$^{\circ}C$/hr to 80$0^{\circ}C$. This procedure was repeated with various compositions and crystals were obtained in cavity. Molten solution was seperated to two parts : the upper part of almost CuO and the rest of different composition. Appropriate composition of flux was 30mol% BaO and 70mol% CuO due to the seperation of molten solution. Single crystals have the habit of thin plate with good developed (001) crystal face, XRD, EDAX and single crystal X-ray investigations were carried out. The grown crystals have tetragonal structure with the lattice parameters a=b=3.84$\AA$, c=11.7$\AA$, and the space group P4/mmm. The crystal surface were observed by SEM.

The deformation mechanism of hexagonal close-packed materials is quite complicate including slips and twins. A deformation mechanism, which accounts for both slip and twinning, was investigated for polycrystalline hop materials. The model was developed in a finite element polycrystal model formulated with initial strain method where the stiffness matrix in FEM is based on the elastic modulus. We predicted numerically the texture of Mg alloy(AZ31B) sheet by using FEM based on crystal plasticity theory. Also, we introduced the recrystallized texture employed the maximum energy release theory after rolling. From the numerical study, it was clarified that the shrink twin could not be the main mechanism for shortening of c-axis, because the lattice rotation due to twin rejects fur c-axis to become parallel to ND(normal direction of plate). It was showed that the deformation texture with the pyramidal slip gives the ring type pole figure having hole in the center.

Hexagonal $\delta$-FeOOH was coated with Ba-Sol, which was produced by hydrolizing Ba(OC2H5)2, Ba-Sol coated $\delta$-FeOOH spread on a stainless plate, dried at 8$0^{\circ}C$ and then heat-treated. In this way, Ba-ferrite fine particles were produced. although there was a difference in a degree of hydrolysis of Ba(OC2H5)2, crystalline phase of Ba-ferrite appeared around 617$^{\circ}C$, and Ba-ferrite single phase was obtained after heat treatment at 80$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr. When Ba-ferrite was made from Ba-Sol coated $\delta$-FeOOH, $\delta$-FeOOH was thermally decomposed to $\alpha$-Fe2O3 at $700^{\circ}C$, producing a porous structure which was observed by TEM photographs. But the porous structure was not observed at 80$0^{\circ}C$. Ba-ferrite, heat-treated at 80$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr, had mean particle size of 1000$\AA$, lattice parameter of a0=5.889243 $\AA$ and c0=23.214502 $\AA$, a saturation magnetization ($\sigma$8) of 45.3 emu/g and a coercive force (Hc) of 5200Oe.
