A set of full size cold rolled steel sheets has been prestrained in the direction of rolling by uniform tensile elongation of 3% and 6%. Then mid-sized tensile specimens were cut from each of the full size sheets at 30, 45, 60 and 90 degrees to the rolling direction. The mid-sized tensile specimens were then prestrained again by uniform tensile elongation by 1%, 2%, 5%, 10% and 15%. finally, miniature tensile specimens were prepared from each of the mid-sized specimens at every 10 degrees to the specimen axis. From the tensile tests on miniature specimens material's hardening behavior under non-proportional loading has been investigated. There are a number of new observations which has not been known to the authors before current work. One of them is continuous reservation of orthoropic symmetry during tensile elongation of mid-sized specimens. Another is continuous rotations of orthotropy axes. Existing theories seem to fail to explain this observations. A new model is proposed in relation to the rotation of orthotropy axes.

The main purpose of this study was to determine whether the inelastic moment-rotation character-istics defined by the lower-bound curve permit economical ALFD for noncompact plate gilders. The study was also intended to determine the benefits of improving the moment-rotation to illustrate the ar plication of the ALFD to noncompact plate girders and to show the Influence of various parameters on the design process. To accomplish these objectives, 34 preliminary designs were made by ALFD or LFD or WSD. In the study, this method of analysis is described first. Next, the design procedures are described. Finally, the resulting designs are presented and discussed.

With the conventional CW Doppler velocity meter, bl-directional velocities cannot be separated. The new CW Doppler system uses quadrature detection and phase rotation to produce simultaneous independent audio and velocity signals for forward and reverse blood flow direction, is fabricated. Specially, this system shows that phase rotation method for flow direction separation provides easy and satisfactory feature. From in vivo blood flow measurement, we can easily differentiate typical artery flow from vein flow, and measure both velocity characteristics qualitatively.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the present conditions of the night work and shift work systems in the heavy chemical industrial complexes found in Changwon, Masan, and Chinhae. Korea. We will attempt to define and classify their problems; and to discover further ways to improve their systems. Fifty production factories were carefully selected as the subjects for this study. The shift systems were classified into five categories. The consecutive night shifts were long in almost all cases with 6 days (36 factories) and 7 days (13 factories). It was found that the night work of about] 2 hours continues for a long period in the weekly rotation full-day shift systems and the night-including non-full-day shift systems, and there was no holiday during a shift cycle in the continuous full-day shift systems. The work time in most shift systems was longer than the 44-hours/week permitted by Korean law. Considering the characteristics of these various types of shift systems, the most essential thing to reduce the shift workers' work load may be to shorten their working hours and improve the schedule of shift systems. It is highly recommended as a fundamental solution. to reduce the portal-to-portal hours from 12 to 8 in the night-including non-full-day shift systems and the weekly rotation full-day shift systems, and at least to employ a 4-team 3-shift system in the continuous full-day shift systems. In addition to this, it should from now on be taken as a goal to restructure the types of shift systems by taking such measures as avoiding continuous night work if possible, providing sufficient off-duty intervals both before and after night shift, providing increased opportunities for workers to nap during night work. and increasing the number of holidays.

The relatedness of naturalized Bradyhizobium japonitum populations with soil physico-chemical characteristics as affected by paddy rice-upland soybean rotation cropping with conventional and none fertilization in Chilgog clay loam soils were determined as follows. The populations of B. japonicum in soils were increased from about $10^1$ in continuous paddy upto $10^1cells/g.soil$ only in one-year rotation of upland use with soybean cropping. Compared to the densities in plots of conventional fertilization, those in none fertilization were high ranging from 1.9 to 10 fold in 2-year upland use rotation and both in 3-year upland use rotation and 4-year upland use, respectively. The populations were positively correlated with soil organic matter $contents(r=0.83^*),\;Ca/K(r=0.74^*),\;and(Ca+Mg)/K(r=0.72^*)$ and were negatively correlated with soil $hardness(r=-0.73^*)$. And the soil populations increased by paddy-upland rotation resulted in superior symbiotic potentials to those in continuous paddy use in terms of nodule mass, nitrogenase activity, and soy-bean shoot dry weight.

A drum bioreactor was used for the treatment of sandy soil contaminated with three kinds of aromatic compounds (phenol, naphthalene, and phenanthrene), and its performance was evaluated in two different operation modes; intermittent and continuous rotation of drum. When the drum bioreactor was operated with one rotation per day, the microbial growth was relatively low, and most of the compounds remaining in soil, except naphthalene of 90 mg/kg dry soil, disappeared mainly due to volatilization. In contrast, when the drum was continuously rotated at 9 rpm (rotation/min), the number of microorganisms was drastically increased and nitrate was consumed for growth as a nitrogen source. Phenol and phenanthrene were removed at rates of 56.7 mg/kg dry soil/day and 3.2 mg/kg dry soil/day, respectively.

Many rheocasting processes had been proposed because of the difficulty of recycling, the limit of material, and the high cost of raw material in thixocasting. But, these rheocasting processes also had disadvantages such as the high initial Investment cost and the lower mechanical properties than thixocasting. In this study, a continuous fabrication of rheological material with pressure rotation equipment was newly devised to overcome the disadvantages of rheocasting process. In order to investigate the thixoformability, reheating experiments were carried out with the material fabricated by the newly devised equipment. Morphological characteristics between mechanical stirring and reheating were compared.

Researchers have elaborated several accurate methods to calculate member-end rotations or moments, directly, for bridge-type structures. Recently, the concept of rotation and moment propagation (RMP) has been presented considering bending flexibility, only. Through which, in spite of moment distribution method, all joints are free resulting in rotation and moment emit throughout the structure similar to wave motion. This paper proposes a new set of closed-form equations to calculate member-end rotation or moment, directly, comprising both shear and bending flexibility. Furthermore, the authors program the algorithm of Timoshenko beam theory cooperated with the finite element. Several numerical examples, conducted on the procedures, show that the method is superior in not only the dominant algorithm but also the preciseness of results.

It is widely known that the temperature variation introduces the axial force along a CWR(Continuous Welded Rail) in the railway bridges. Additional axial forces are generated due to many other reasons. These includes the interaction between the bridge girder and the CWR; acceleration or deceleration of the vehicles; support rotation (or deflection) of the girder. Among aforementioned reasons, this study investigates the influence of the support rotation on additional axial forces throughout the numerical study and the field test. Several strains gauges are installed along the CWR and the strains are measured under passing trains. It is expected that the elaborated estimation of the axial force on CWR will be beneficial for future railway maintenance.

In this paper, A new type of piezoelectric step motor using piezoelectric torsional actuator and a pair of one-way clutch bearing is designed, manufactured and tested. The torsional actuator consists of 16-polygonal tube that can produce angular displacement using shear mode of piezoceramic. One-way clutch bearing convert oscillation of torsional actuator into continuous rotation. After performance testing of torsional actuator, the optimum condition for driving motor is investigated in terms of wave shape, excitation frequency and electrical field. The performance of the motor is experimentally evaluated. As a result, square wave has larger rotation speed than sin wave, and the maximum rotation speed of 57 rpm is measured at 3850 Hz and 100V/mm.
