The method of vibration analysis used is the one developed by the senior author. He developed and reported, in 1974, a simple but exact method of calculating the natural frequency of beam and tower structures with irregular cross-sections and attached mass/masses. Since 1989, this method has been extended to two-dimensional problems with several types of given conditions and has been reported at several international conferences. This method uses the deflection influence surfaces. The finite difference method is used for this purpose, in this paper. In order to reduce the pivotal points required, the three simultaneous partial differential equations of equilibrium with three dependent variables, w, M$_{x}$, and $M_{y}$, are used instead of the one forth order partial differential equation. By neglecting the M$_{x}$ terms, the size of the matrices needed to solve the resulting linear equations are reduced to two thirds of the "non-modified" equations.tions.

This paper is especially concerned with the weldment between support beam and square bar that plays important roles in control box of Expansion Joint as a brdige structure. Fatigue strength ({TEX}$$\sigma$_{ult}${/TEX}) of the weldment is dependent on notch factor ({TEX}$K_{f}${/TEX}) become important factors to predict fatigue life. The fatigue notch sensitivity (η) for metals can be divided into two types ; high and low notch sensitivity. In this work, the Expansion Joint weldment was found to have low notch sensitivity. The maximum strain distribution during static loading is similar to the FEM analysis. Fatigue test of real structure was performed up to {TEX}$10^{6}${/TEX} cycles to be compared with predicted endurance limit.

The residual stress changes on thermo-mechanical loading in the interface region of the Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC)/Thermally Grown Oxide (TGO)/Bond Coat (BC) were calculated on the TBC-coated superalloys using a Finite Element Method (FEM). It was found that the residual stress of the interface boundary was dependent upon mainly the oxide formation and the swelling rate of the oxide by creep relaxation. During an oxide swelling, the relaxation of residual stress which is due to creep deformation increased the TBC's life. In the case of the fine grain size of TGO scale, the TBC stresses piled up by oxide swelling could be relaxed by diffusional creep effect of TGO.

The geometric size and the refrigeration capacity of a refrigeration system are strongly dependent on the capacity of heat exchanger, which is one of the key design parameters. In this paper, the effect of the capacities of heat exchangers on the performance of a real refrigeration system operated in a vapor compression cycle was analyzed by the numerical simulation. From the results, the conditions that gave the maximum values of the refrigeration capacity or COP were respectively determined as a function of the capacities of condenser and evaporator under the given ambient and operating condition.

A powder of destructive adsorbent was prepared by impregnating Mn and Cu on the surface of amorphous aluminosilicate. It catalytically dimerized tert-butyl mercaptan into di-tert-butyl disulfide on its surface. Turnover of the dimerization was strongly dependent on the surface morphology of the adsorbent, which could be altered by modification of aluminosilicate support. During the process of impregnation, which involved heat treatment at 500 ${^{\circ}C}$, the shape of the pore was preserved, though large fraction of micropores were eliminated. The reactive sites on the surface were poisoned as dimerization products strongly adhered on them. Therefore, high surface area was not always desirable. When the surface was heavily populated with “inkbottled” pores with a narrow entrance in uniform size, heavy poisoning of the reactive sites turned the destructive adsorbents almost useless.

Si$_3$N$_4$-6wt%Y$_2$O$_3$-lwt%Al$_2$O$_3$was prepared by hot pressed and gas pressure sintering to investigate the effect of microstructure on erosion behaviors. Hardness and fracture toughness were measured with prepared specimens to study the high temperature erosion properties. A gas blast type erosion tester was used In examine erosion behavior of the specimens up to 700$^{\circ}C$. In case of GPS silicon nitride, the erosion rate increases up to 500$^{\circ}C$ and decreases over 500$^{\circ}C$. Maximum erosion rate was observed at 300$^{\circ}C$ for HP silicon nitride. The principal factors affecting the high temperature erosive wear of brittle materials are largely dependent on high temperature properties of grain boundaries.

Some perovskites $A($Cu_{1}3}Nb_{2}3}$)O_3(A=$Sr^{2+}$$, $Ba^{2+}$ and $Pb^{2+}$) and their series of mixed perovskites have been prepared by solid state reaction. Single perovskite phase was obtained in Sr or Ba rich samples, but pyrochlore phase was found in Pb rich samples. The stability of perovskite phase is dependent on the ionicity of bonding as well as the tolerance factor. All the obtained perovskites have tetragonal symmetry distorted by Jahn-Teller effect of $Cu^{2+}$. In the case of $Sr(Cu_{1}3}Nb_{2}3})O_3$, some superlattice lines caused by threefold enlarging of fundamental unit cell were observed. And, the symmetry of B site octahedron and the bonding character of B-O bond have been studied by IR, ESR and diffuse reflection spectroscopy. It appeared that the symmetry and the bonding character are influenced by such factors as the size and the basicity of A cation.

This paper presents the analytical solutions for the size-dependent static analysis of the functionally graded (FG) beams with various boundary conditions based on the nonlocal continuum model. The nonlocal behavior is described by the differential constitutive model of Eringen, which enables to this model to become effective in the analysis and design of nanostructures. The elastic modulus of beam is assumed to vary through the thickness or longitudinal directions according to the power law. The governing equations are derived by using the nonlocal continuum theory incorporated with Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. The explicit solutions are derived for the static behavior of the transversely or axially FG beams with various boundary conditions. The verification of the model is obtained by comparing the current results with previously published works and a good agreement is observed. Numerical results are presented to show the significance of the nonlocal effect, the material distribution profile, the boundary conditions, and the length of beams on the bending behavior of nonlocal FG beams.

Forced vibration behavior of porous metal foam nanoplates on elastic medium is studied via a 4-variable plate theory. Different porosity distributions called uniform, symmetric and asymmetric are considered. Nonlocal strain gradient theory (NSGT) containing two scale parameters is employed for size-dependent modeling of porous nanoplates. The present plate theory satisfies the shear deformation effect and it has lower field variables compared with first order plate theory. Hamilton's principle is employed to derive the governing equations. Obtained results from Galerkin's method are verified with those provided in the literature. The effects of nonlocal parameter, strain gradient, foundation parameters, dynamic loading, porosity distributions and porosity coefficient on dynamic deflection and resonance frequencies of metal foam nanoscale plates are examined.

Nonlocal elasticity and Reddy plant theory are used to study the vibration response of functionally graded (FG) nanoplates resting on two parameters elastic medium called Pasternak foundation. Nonlocal higher order theory accounts for the effects of both scale and the effect of transverse shear deformation, which becomes significant where stocky and short nanoplates are concerned. It is assumed that the properties of FG nanoplate follow a power law through the thickness. In addition, Poisson's ratio is assumed to be constant in this model. Both Winkler-type and Pasternak-type foundation models are employed to simulate the interaction of nanoplate with surrounding elastic medium. Using Hamilton's principle, size-dependent governing differential equations of motion and corresponding boundary conditions are derived. A differential quadrature approach is being utilized to discretize the model and obtain numerical solutions for various boundary conditions. The model is validated by comparing the results with other published results.
