In this study, a PDMS-based low-elasticity magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) was fabricated and the Taguchi method was used to identify the factors affecting the elastic modulus. The mixing entropy was calculated using optical microscopy to confirm particle dispersion, which was referenced in the process establishment. In the MRE process, four parameters, namely the curing agent, particle type, particle fraction, and applied magnetic field, were divided into three levels. The elastic modulus of the specimen was compared at the off-state and at 0.2 T using compression tests, and the obtained signal to noise ratio indicated that the softness and change in the elastic modulus of the MRE was mainly affected by the curing agent and the particle fraction.

This paper presents a part of micormechanics-based elastic modeling (Lee and Pyo, 2007) of particle-reinforced composites containing slightly weakened interfaces. The Eshelby's tensor for a damaged ellipsoidal inclusion to model particles with slightly weakened interfaces is incorporated into a micormechanical formulation by Ju and Chen (1994). A damage model in accordance with the Weibull's probabilistic function is also developed to simulate the progression of weakened interface in the composites.

Longitudinal wave tests with finite elastic medium were performed to investigate the difference between measured values and theoretical values of propagation velocity and elasticity modulus. Each accelerometer was attached on finite elastic medium with same phase and different positions to check the particle motion. The results show that measured values of elasticity moduli from both time domain and frequency domain were similiar to theoretical value. Polarity of signal depends entirely on the phase of accelerometer. It proved that the propagation velocity and the particle motion are in the same direction when a compressive stress is applied. And also the propagation velocity and the particle motion depend on the intensity of the stress and material properties respectively.

A constitutive model based on a combination of a micromechanics-based weakened interface elastic model (Lee and Pyo, 2007) and a crack nucleation model (Karihaloo and Fu, 1989) is proposed to predict the effective elastic behavior of particle-reinforced composites. The model specifically considers imperfect interfaces in particles and microcracks in the matrix. To exercise the proposed constitutive model and to investigate the influence of model parameters on the behavior of the composites, numerical simulations on uniaxial tension tests were conducted. Furthermore, the present prediction is compared with available experimental data in the literature to verify the accuracy of the proposed constitutive model.

The attenuation coefficients of SiC particle reinforced low-density polyethylene (LDPE) matrix composites were measured by pulse echo method and dynamic elastic measure method with varying the volume fraction of SiC particle ranged from 0% to 40% and the size of SiC particles ranged from 0.8$\mu$m to 48$\mu$m. The SiCp/LDPE composites were fabricated with the melt injection process and the fabricated composites showed almost full density above 99% up to 40vo1% SiCp reinforcements. The attenuation constant of LDPE measured by dynamic elastic constant had same result with that measured by pulse echo method, but the attenuation constant of SiCp/LDPE measured by dynamic elastic constant did not have same result with that measured by pulse echo method.

The effect of particle property on FOD(foreign object damage) and strength degradation in structural ceramics especially, silicon carbide was investigated by accelerating a spherical particle having different material and different size. The damage induced showed significant differences in their patterns with increase of impact velocity. Also percussion cone was formed at the back part of specimen when particle size became large and its impact velocity exceeded a critical value. The extent of ring cracks was linearly related to particle size, however the impact of steel particle produced larger ring cracks than that of SiC particle. Increasing impact velocity the residual strength showed different degradation behaviors according to particle and its size. In the region the impact site represents nearly elastic deformation behavior, the residual strength was dependent upon the depth of cone crack regardless of particle size. However in elastic- plastic deformation region, the radial cracks led to rapid drop in residual strength.

Effects of particle property variation of cone crack shape according to impact velocity in silicon carbide materials were investigated. The damage induced by spherical impact having different material and size was different according to materials. The size of ring cracks induced on the surface of specimen increased with increase of impact velocity within elastic contact conditions. The impact of steel particle produced larger ring cracks than that of SiC particle. In case of high impact velocity, the impact of SiC particle produced radial cracks by the elastic-plastic deformation at impact regions. Also percussion cone was formed from the back surface of specimen when particle size become large and its impact velocity exceeded a critical value. Increasing impact velocity, zenithal angle of cone cracks in SiC material was linearly decreasing not effect of impact particle size. An empirical equation, $\theta=\theta_{st}-\upsilon_p(180-\theta_{st})(\rho_p/\rho_s)^{1/2}/415$, was obtained from the test data as a function of quasi-static zenithal angle of cone crack($\theta_{st}$), the density of impact particle(${\rho}_p$) and specimen(${\rho}_s$). Applying this equation to the another materials, the variation of zenithal angle of cone crack could be predicted from the particle impact velocity.

The vertical profiles of the extinction coefficient, the backscatter coefficient, and the lidar ratio (i.e., extinction-to-backscattering ratio) for Asian dust and pollution aerosols are determined from Raman (inelastic) and elastic backscatter signals. The values of lidar ratios during two polluted days is found between 52 and 82 sr (July 22, 2009) and 40~60 sr (July 31, 2009) at 52 nm, with relatively low value of particle depolarization ratio (<5%) and high value of sun photometer-derived Angstrom exponent (> 1.2). However, lidar ratios between 25 and 40 sr are found during two Asian dust periods (October 20, 2009 and March 15, 2010), with 10~20% of particle depolarization ratio and the relatively low value of sun photometer-derived Angstrom exponent (< 0.39). The lidar ratio, particle depolarization ratio and color ratio are useful optical parameter to distinguish non-spherical coarse dust and spherical fine pollution aerosols. The comparison of aerosol extinction profiles determined from inelastic-backscatter signals by the Raman method and from elastic-backscatter signals by using the Fernald method with constant value of lidar ratio (50 sr) have shown that reliable aerosol extinction coefficients cannot be determined from elastic-backscatter signals alone, because the lidar ratio varies with aerosol types. A combined Raman and elastic backscatter lidar system can provide reliable information about the aerosol extinction profile and the aerosol lidar ratio.

This study focuses on fabricating silver flake powder by a mechanical milling process and investigating the formation of flake-shaped particles during milling. The silver flake powder is fabricated by varying the mechanical milling parameters such as the amount of powder, ball size, impeller rotation speed, and milling time of the attrition ballmill. The particle size of the silver flake powder decreases with increasing amount of powder; however, it increases with increasing impeller rotation speed. The change in the particle size of the silver flake powder is analyzed based on elastic collision between the balls, taking energy loss of the balls due to the powder into consideration. The change in the particle size of the silver flake powder with mechanical milling parameters is consistent with the change in the diameter of the elastic deformation contact area of the ball, due to the collision between the balls, with milling parameters. The flake-shaped silver particles are formed at the elastic deformation contact area of the ball due to the collision.

To analyze the effects of oyster shell particles, inserted in the self-hardening matrix such as cement paste, on strength, homogenization analysis using micro structure was used to estimate and assess the apparent elastic modulus of oyster shell particle. DIB modeling technique was used to represent of the micro structure of oyster shell mixed concrete. The results showed that the apparent elastic modulus of LOS (large oyster shell particle) was changed with the amount of LOS inserted. In particular, when the amount of LOS was 200% of the weight of cement, the apparent elastic modulus of LOS tended to decrease rapidly. This could mean that the strength of oyster shell mixed concrete is much affected by LOS inserted material in mixed ratio of 200%.
