Monolith aperture-type oxygen sensors with simple structure of YSZ(pin-hole)/Pt/ YSZ(solid electrolyte)/Pt were fabricated by co-firing technique. To enhance the yield of productivity, a couple of YSZ green sheets for diffused barrier and solid electrolyte were prepared by tape-casting and co-firing method. The limit current characteristics of the oxygen sensors were measured between 500 and $650^{\circ}C$ The heating temperature of $600^{\circ}C$ was optimum as a portable oxygen sensor in the range of oxygen concentration from 0 to 75 vol%. Linear proficiency of limit current behavior as a function of oxygen concentration was controlled by the variation of aperture dimension. The fabricated oxygen sensors showed the stable sensing output for 30 days. Gas leakage in bonding area due to warping, cracking and thermal cycling was not found in the period.

Kikukawa's compliance method using the conventional crack mouth clip-on gauge was proposed as a desired measurement technique to monitor the notched specimen fatigue behavior. The measurement technique makes it possible to continuously monitor the initiation and growth of incipient small part-through crack originated at the notch root and the phenomenon of crack closure. The variarion of natural flaw geometry with fatigue cycling was investigated. The test results on 7075-T6 aluminium alloy suggest the dependence of effective stress intensity factor range ratio .upsilon. on the maximum stress intensity factor .KAPPA.max.

In this study, we observe the application of shape memory alloy(SMA) into smart structures for repeatable actuation, because SMA changes its material properties and characteristics progressively under cyclic loading conditions and finally reaches stable path(state) after a certain number of stress/temperature loading-unloading cycles, so called 'training'. In this paper, SMA wires that have been in a stable state through the training are used. Stress-strain curve of the SMA wire at different temperature levels are measured. In addition, we observe other important effects such as the rate effect according to strain rates for rapid actuation response. The current work presents the experimental test using SMA wire after training completion by mechanical cycling. Through these tests, we measure the characteristics of SMA. With the estimated SMA properties and effects, we compare the experimental results with the simulation results based on the SMA constitutive equations.

The electrochromic WO$_3$ thin films were prepared by using an electron - beam evaporation technique. The influence of the electron - beam evaporation conditions. especially the vacuum pressure, and resistance of ITO substrate on the structural and electrochromic properties of the investigated film was presented. This films showed electrochromic behavior in an aqueous electrolyte of 1 M H$_2$SO$_4$. Among these WO$_3$ thin films, films prepared at a vacuum pressure of 10$^{-4}$ mbar were found to be most stable in terms of cycling durability. The chemical stability of film against dissolution in the aqueous solution was also shown to depend on the quantity of water in the film.

This study investigate changes in mechanical behaviors such as indentation load-displacement and hardness of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) using cycling of thermal shock test. Relatively dense and porous TBCs on nickel-based bondcoat/super alloy are prepared using different starting granules, 204C-NS and 204NS commercial powers, and the effect of double layers of 204C-NS on 204NS and 204NS on 204C-NS are investigated. The highest temperature applied during thermal shock test is $1100^{\circ}C$ and the maximum number of cycles is 1,200. The results indicate that bilayered TBC showed a relatively mechanically resistant property during thermal shock cycles and that the mechanical behavior is influenced by the microstructure of TBCs by exposure to high temperature during tests or different starting granules.

Al film(135.5 nm thick) with Pd film(39.6 nm thick) on the top of it was made by thermal evaporation method. Electrical resistance change due to hydrogen absorption and desorption was measured by four point measurement method. The sample was activated by hydrogen absorption and desorption cycling at room temp. Hydrogen was introduced into the film by increasing hydrogen gas pressure step by step up to 640 torr at room temp. The resistance change ratio was decreased to 12 % with increasing hydrogen pressure in contrast to normal metal behavior. This strange tendency was not understood yet. Further study is needed to find out the mechanism of hydrogen absorption in Al in Al/Pd film.

The electrochromic $WO_3$ thin films were prepared by using the electron beam deposition technique. The influences of vacuum pressure were examined in terms of the surface morphology and the electrochromic properties of films. From the results, the electrochromic behavior of electron beam deposited films strongly depends on the vacuum pressure during deposition. The film prepared under a vacuum pressure of $5{\times}10^4$ mbar was found to be rather stable when subjected to the repeated coloring and bleaching cycles in an aqueous acid electrolyte of 1M $H_2SO_4$. It was also found that the degraded film by repeated cycling in the aqueous acid solution changed the grain shape of film surface.

Shape memory recoverable stress and strain of Ti-42.5at%Ni-10at%Cu alloys were measured by means of constant temperature tensile tests. The alloys' transformation behavior is B2 - B19 by DSC result. The strain by tensile stress were perfectly recovered by heating at any testing conditions but shape memory recoverable stress increased to 66MPa and then slightly decreased. Transformation temperatures from thermal cycling under constant uniaxial applied tensile loads linearly increased by increasing tensile load and their thermal hysteresis are about 110K and their maximum recoverable strain is 6.5% at 100MPa condition.

o-Phenylenediamine (o-PD) was electropolymerized on glassy carbon electrodes under a potential cycling condition. The resulting polymer films mediated electrons for the reduction of molecular oxygen at pH=1.0. It was found from the RDE, RRDE, and cyclic voltammetry experiments that the modified electrodes reduce oxygen to hydrogen peroxide at about 300 mV lower potential than the bare glassy carbon electrode. The polymer film consisted of more than two components. Among those, only one component was active in oxygen reduction, which was formed mainly in the earlier stage of the electropolymerization. 2,3-Diaminophenazine, a cyclic dimer of o-PD, was also active in the oxygen reduction reaction, from which it was suggested that the active polymeric component has a structural unit similar to the cyclic dimer. Finally, the electropolymerization mechanism for the formation of the active and inactive components has been proposed.

A new type of earthquake resilient reinforced concrete (RC) shear wall structure, installed with replaceable coupling beams and replaceable corner components at the bottom of wall piers, is proposed in this study. At first, the mechanical behavior of replaceable components, such as combined dampers and replaceable corner component, is studied by cyclic loading tests on them. Then, cycling loading tests are conducted on one conventional coupled shear wall and one new type of coupled shear wall with replaceable components. The test results indicate that the damage of the new type of coupled shear wall concentrates on replaceable components and the left parts are well protected. Finally, a case study is introduced. The responses of one conventional frame-tube structure and one new type of structure installed with replaceable components under the wind and the earthquake are compared, which verify that the performance of new type of structure is much better than the conventional structure.
