The pitch and orthogonality of two-dimensional (2-D) gratings were measured using a metrological atomic force microscope (MAFM), and the measurement uncertainty was analyzed. Gratings are typical standard devices for the calibration of precision microscopes, Since the magnification and orthogonality in two perpendicular axes of microscopes can be calibrated simultaneously using 2-D gratings, it is important to certify the pitch and orthogonality of such gratings accurately for nanometrology. In the measurement of 2-D gratings, the MAFM can be used effectively for its nanometric resolution and uncertainty, but a new measurement scheme is required to overcome limitations such as thermal drift and slow scan speed. Two types of 2-D gratings with nominal pitches of 300 and 1000 nm were measured using line scans to determine the pitch measurement in each direction. The expanded uncertainties (k = 2) of the measured pitch values were less than 0.2 and 0.4 nm for each specimen, and the measured orthogonality values were less than $0.09^{\circ}$ and $0.05^{\circ}$, respectively. The experimental results measured using the MAFM and optical diffractometer agreed closely within the expanded uncertainty of the MAFM. We also propose an additional scheme for measuring 2-D gratings to increase the accuracy of calculated peak positions, which will be the subject of future study.

A dynamic triaxial discrete element numerical model of lightweight soil was established using the discrete element method to study the microscopic mechanism of expanded polystyrene (EPS) particles in the soil under cyclic loading. The microscopic parameters of the discrete element model of the lightweight soil were calibrated depending on the dynamic triaxial test hysteresis curves. Based on the calibration results, the effects of the EPS particles volume ratio and amplitude on the contact force, displacement field, and velocity field of the lightweight soil under different accumulated strains were studied. The results showed that the hysteresis curves of lightweight soil exhibit nonlinearity, hysteresis, and strain accumulation. The strain accumulated in remolded soil is mainly tensile strain, and that in lightweight soil is mainly compressive strain. As the volume ratio of EPS particles increased, the contact force first increased and then decreased, and the displacement and velocity of the particles increased accordingly. With an increase in amplitude, the dynamic stress of the particle system increased, and the accumulation rate of the dynamic strain of the samples also increased. At 5% compressive strain, the contact force of the particles changed significantly and the number of particles deflected in the direction of velocity also increased considerably. These results indicated that the cemented structure of the lightweight soil began to fail at a compressive strain of 5%. Thus, a compressive strain of 5% is more reasonable than the dynamic strength failure standard of lightweight soil.

멀티 앤빌 프레스(multi-anvil press)는 일반적으로 5-25 GPa의 압력범위와 ${\sim}2,300^{\circ}C$의 온도범위를 구현할 수 있는 고압 기기로, 지구과학에서는 상부맨틀-맨틀전이대까지의 지구 구성물질의 구조를 연구하는 데 도움이 된다. 본 연구에서는 광물의 상전이를 이용한 멀티 앤빌 프레스에 대한 압력-부하 보정(pressure-load calibration) 과정을 소개하고, 시료실(sample chamber) 내에 존재할 수 있는 온도구배에 대해서 논의하였다. 압력-부하 보정은 14/8 G2, 14/8 step, 14/8 HT 조립세트(assembly set)와 18/12 조립세트에 대해 1,100톤 멀티 앤빌 프레스를 이용하여 수행했다. 초기 물질로 석영, 규회석구조의 $CaGeO_3$, 포르스테라이트를 사용했고, 고압상의 동정은 XRD 분석을 통해 수행하였다. 광물의 상전이를 통해 $1,200^{\circ}C$에서 시료에 가해지는 압력을 유추할 수 있었으며, ${\alpha}$-석영에서 코에사이트로의 상전이는 3.1 GPa, 석류석 구조의 $CaGeO_3$에서 페로브스카이트 구조의 $CaGeO_3$로의 상전이는 5.9 GPa, 코에사이트에서 스티쇼바이트로의 상전이는 9.2 GPa, 포르스테라이트에서 와즐리아이트로의 상전이는 13.6 GPa의 압력 확인에 이용했다. XRD 결과로 획득한 압력-부하 보정 곡선은 기존에 보고된 유사한 기기의 압력-부하 보정 곡선에 비해 동일 압력을 구현하기 위해 50톤 가량의 유압이 더 필요한 것으로 확인됐다. 이러한 차이는 시료실의 크기 및 조립세트의 압력 매체(pressure medium)와 이차앤빌 사이의 마찰력으로부터 기인한 유압 손실에 의한 것으로 생각된다. 또한 본 연구에서는 14/8 HT 조립세트에서의 시료실 내의 온도구배를 확인했다. 특히 열전대(thermocouple)의 위치 변화에 따라 시료실 높이에 평행한 방향으로 약 ${\sim}200^{\circ}C/mm$에 해당하는 온도구배가 존재한다. 본 연구로부터 구한 멀티 앤빌 프레스의 압력-부하 보정 곡선과 시료실 내의 온도구배 값은 앞으로 맨틀 내에서의 다양한 비정질 및 결정질의 지구물질에 대한 원자 구조의 변화와 그에 따른 물성 변화를 설명하는 데 적용할 수 있다.

Gravitational centers of precise spinning components must coincide with the rotational centers of those to reduce noise and vibration and to extend those lift as well. Therefore quality control should be performed in the manufacturing process, in which the unbalance moments are accurately measured. In this paper 3-point weighing method is adopted to measure the unbalance moment of small-sized precision spinning elements using electronic scales with 0.1 mg resolution. Firstly methods to eliminate the fixture error and to reduce the effects of frictional force that is known as side effect, are proposed. A measuring system is developed and various experiments are performed to verify the proposed approach. The measured and calculated values are analysed in statistical methods, and this provides the errors of the measuring system. The results show that the proposed theory and test procedures gives reliable unbalance moments and gravitational centers.

Computer simulations and test trials were carried out to obtain the optimal stamping conditions of the die design of the laser welded automotive body. The stamping process including gravity deflection bead calibration binder wrap, forming and spring back was simulated and compared with the results obtained from test trials. The production variables were determined from a preliminary operation and they were investigated in the simulation and the test trials. The formability was tested under the various conditions, such as the initial position of blank, blank holding force, corner radius and the shape of drawbead. Sound products without fracture, wrinkling and excessive weldline movement were produced by applying results obtained this investigation.

A two-dimensional particle flow cod (PFC) is used to study the effect of missile impact on the concrete target. For this purpose firstly calibration of numerical model was performed so that tensile strength of numerical models and experimental sample were the same. Secondly, a concrete model was built. The number of concrete layers and the angle of concrete layers related to horizontal axis were changed. Their numbers were 1, 2, 3 and 4. The angles were 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75° and 90°. A semi-circle missile was simulated at top of the concrete layers. Its velocity in opposite side of Y direction was 100 m/s. three measuring circles were situated at the below the missile in the model to receive the applied force. The load in the missile and measuring circles together with failure pattern were registered at the beginning of the impaction. The results show that concrete layers number and concrete layers angle have important effect on the failure load while the failure pattern was nearly constant in all of the models.

The difficulties, challenges and limitations faced in standard pressuremeter testing in the measurement of low soil deformations led a number of researchers to think about the possible modification of the equipment, and especially the replacement of the volumeter by a Hall Effect sensor. This article is a major contribution in this direction. It makes an attempt to detail the design, manufacture and operation of the new equipment. The calibration of the various components was carried out according to the rules presently in force. This proposal was applied, on an exploratory basis, to the data of a real site located in France. The authors present the preliminary results of some cyclic pressuremeter tests, previously carried out in the laboratory, on a sandy material, and they then provide a basic interpretation of these results. The findings indicated that the proposed apparatus is capable of providing high-quality information about constraints and deformations. Although these tests were performed within the laboratory, it was possible to analyze the power, quality, performance and insufficiencies of the proposed equipment.

A large scale resonant column testing equipment is under development. The would-be equipment is aiming to test 150mm-diameter specimens, which can contain as large a grain size as 25mm. Such a large specimen is hardly excitated with the existing fixed-free end condition because the torsional force cannot be effectively coupled to the specimen. The specimen will be rather resonated with free-free condition and the scheme is implemented with a rotational bearing installed between coil-magnet exciter and base pedestal. Presently the equipment was assembled and is under calibration with a cylindrical brass specimen.
