This research is related to nonlinear stability analysis of advanced microbeams reinforced by Graphene Platelets (GPLs) considering generic geometrical imperfections and thermal loading effect. Uniform, linear and nonlinear distributions of GPLs in transverse direction have been considered. Imperfection sensitivity of post-bucking behaviors of the microbeam to different kinds of geometric imperfections have been examined. Geometric imperfection is first considered to be identical as the first buckling mode, then a generic function is employed to consider sine-type, local-type and global-type imperfectness. Modified couple stress theory is adopted to incorporate size-dependent behaviors of the beam at micro scale. The post-buckling problem is solved analytically to derive load-amplitude curves. It is shown that post-buckling behavior of microbeam is dependent on the type geometric imperfection and its magnitude. Also, post-buckling load can be enhanced by adding more GPLs or selecting a suitable distribution for GPLs.

LiTaO3 single crystals were growth without cracking using Pt-Rh crucible and Ir crucible. The starting composition to get the melt of congruent melting composition, which has been dependent upon the experimental procedure, was taken after fixing the total growing process by the result of preliminary experiments. The Rh contamination from the Pt-Rh crucible was to be neglected if the crystal had been grown under inert atmosphere, which resulted in the crystal color being slightly yellow. This color was decolored after 24 hour's annealing at 1200℃ under air atmosphere. The optimum conditions for the crystal growing and the diameter control were so dependent upon the crucible material in spite of using the crucible of the same size. The liquid-solid interface of LiTaO3 crystal of 1" diameter has been flat if the rotation speed was 45rpm.

Fracture resistance(J-R) curves, which are used for elastic-plastic fracture mechanics analyses, are known to be dependent on the specimen geometry. The objective of this paper is to investigate the effect of crack tip constraint an the J-R curves in CT specimens. Fracture toughness tests on CT specimens with varying planform size were performed and test results showed that the J-R curves were increased with an increase in the planform size. Finite element analysis were also performed and the numerical results showed that this experimental phenomenon was probably due to the relaxation of crack tip constraint resulting from the stress triaxiality.

The rigid-plastic finite element formulation including the inertia force is derived and then the rigid-plastic finite elemnt program considering the inertia effect is developed. In order to consider the strain hardening, strain rate hardening and thermal softening effects which are frequentrly observed in high-velocity deformation phenomena, the Johnson-Cook constitutive odel is applied. The developed program is used to simulate two high-velocity deformation problemss ; rod impact test and hdigh-velocity compression precess. As a result of rod impact test simulation, it is found that the siulated result has a good agreement with the experimental observation. Through the high-velocity compression process simulation. it is also found that the accuracy of the simulated results is dependent upon the time increment size and mesh size.

In this paper, the classical and non-classical boundary conditions effect on free vibration characteristics of functionally graded (FG) size-dependent nanobeams are investigated by presenting a semi analytical differential transform method (DTM) for the first time. Three kinds of mathematical models, namely; power law (P-FGM), sigmoid (S-FGM) and Mori-Tanaka (MT-FGM) distribution are considered to describe the material properties in the thickness direction. The nonlocal Eringen theory takes into account the effect of small size, which enables the present model to become effective in the analysis and design of nanosensors and nanoactuators. Governing equations are derived through Hamilton's principle and they are solved applying semi analytical differential transform method. The good agreement between the results of this article and those available in literature validated the presented approach. The detailed mathematical derivations are presented and numerical investigations are performed while the emphasis is placed on investigating the effect of the several parameters such as small scale effects, spring constant factors, various material compositions and mode number on the normalized natural frequencies of the FG nanobeams in detail. It is explicitly shown that the vibration of FG nanobeams is significantly influenced by these effects. Numerical results are presented to serve as benchmarks for future analyses of FG nanobeams.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of fairness, culture, and service points on organizational management to maximize the ability of organizational members. The subjects of the survey were selected from major hospitals, small and medium hospitals. A total of 500 questionnaires were distributed, but 404 (80.8%) were used for the final analysis. The SPSS WIN 20 program was used to analyze the collected data. The following conclusions were obtained. First, in this study, organizational fairness did not show any general difference, and fairness was obtained with relatively high scores. In terms of improving organizational culture, size of hospital there is a statistically significant difference. the larger the organization, the more the organizational culture needs to be improved. Organizational fairness were significant differences in service encounter points and size of hospital. Second, the correlation between fairness, organizational culture improvement, service contact point and management performance showed a very positive correlation. Third, fairness has no effect on business performance. However, in this study, organizational culture improvement and service contact points are statistically significant and positive (+) influence on dependent variable management performance. Therefore, in order to improve the organizational culture of the hospital, it is necessary for the CEO to the vision, core, to discuss and make a reasonable plan. In order to actively cope with rapidly changing hospital environment, it will be necessary to positively support the of new medical market and the increase of market share.

All radiation thermometers have a size-of-source effect (SSE) and a self-radiation effect (SRE). The SSE,defined as dependence of the detector signal of a radiation thermometer on the diameter of a source, is critically dependent on the wavelength since diffraction is the main cause. In this paper, we have measured the SSE and the SRE of TRT2 (Transfer Radiation Thermometer 2, HEITRONICS) widely used as a transfer standard in low and middle temperature range. At $300^{\circ}C$, The radiation temperature difference between the 60 mm diameter blackbody and 10 mm diameter blackbody due to the SSE was estimated to be $3.5^{\circ}C$ in low temperature mode ($8-14\;{\mu}m$) and $0.5^{\circ}C$ in middle temperature mode ($3.9\;{\mu}m$). In addition, the measured radiation temperature difference of the blackbody due to the SRE was found to be 110 mK when the body temperature change of TRT2 was set at $2.6^{\circ}C$.

Purpose: Hydroxyapatite(HA) has been widely used due to its chemical similarity to bone and good biocompatibility. HA is composed of macropores and micropores. Too much irregularities of the micropores are ineffective against the adhesion and proliferation of osteoblast. Many efforts have been tried to overcome these drawbacks. HA crystal coating on the irregular surface of HA scaffold, crystallized HA, is one of the method to improve cell adhesion. Meanwhile, the collagen has been incorporated with HA to create composite scaffold that chemically resembles the natural extracellular matrix components of bone. The authors proposed to examine the effect of collagen - coated crystallized HA on the adhesion and proliferation of osteoblast. Method: HA powder containing $10{\mu}m$ pore size was manufactured as 1 cm pellet size. For the making crystallized HA, 0.1 M EDTA solution was used to dissolve HA powder and heated $100^{\circ}C$ for 48 hours. Next, the crystallized HA pellets were coated with collagen (0.1, 0.5, and 1%). The osteoblasts were seeded into HA pellets and incubated for the various times (1, 5, and 9 days). After the indicating days, methylthiazol tetrazolium (MTT) assay was performed for cell proliferation and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activty was measured for bone formation. Result: In SEM study, the surface of crystallized HA pellet was more regular than HA pellet. MTT assay showed that the proliferation of osteoblasts increased in a collagen dose - dependent and time - dependent manner and had a maximum effect at 1% collagen concentration. ALP activity also increased in a collagen dose - dependent manner and had a highest effect at 1% collagen concentration. Conclusion: These data showed that crystallization and collagen coating of HA was effective for osteoblast proliferation and ALP activity. Therefore, our results suggest that crystallized - HA scaffold with collagen coating is may be a good strategy for tissue engineering application for bone formation.

Porous ceramic plates were prepared from Onggi clay and bamboo charcoal powder at 1100 and $1200^{\circ}C$ and their porous properties and water absorption, and the cooling effect of porous plates, were investigated to produce eco-friendly porous ceramics for a self-cooling system that relies on the evaporation of absorbed water. Porous properties were dependent on the particle size of charcoal powder pore forming additive and the firing temperature; properties were also found to be dependent on the total pore volume, average pore size and porosity, which had values of $0.103-0.243cm^3/g$, 0.81 - 2.56 mm and 20.9 - 38.2%, respectively, at $1100^{\circ}C$ and $0.04-0.18cm^3/g$, 0.33 - 2.03 mm and 10.8 - 30.9%, respectively, at $1200^{\circ}C$. Cooling temperature difference of flowing air parallel to surface of porous ceramic plates fired with two kinds of charcoal powder at $1100^{\circ}C$ was $3.5-3.6^{\circ}C$ at $26^{\circ}C$ and 60% of relative humidity in a closed box. Cooling temperature difference was dependent on the number of porous plates and the distance between porous plates. A simple and eco-friendly cooling system using porous ceramic plates fired from Onggi clay and charcoal powder was proposed.
