The strain sensing properties of th system xNiO-(1-x) CaO with various compositions (x=0.001-0.05) are evaluated and the origin of the phenomena is guessed. We have found out that the high temperature electrical conductivity of the xNiO-(1-x)CaO increases by applying the compressive stress at $1000^{\circ}C$. When the applied load is removed, the electrical conductivity rapidly decreases and returns to the original value, but a small hysteresis of the stress-conductivity curve is observed. After the loading test, the lattice parameter of the specimen is found lengthened. The correlation between the lengthening of the lattice parameter and the increases in the electrical conductivity by loading is discussed. The amount of the "expanded type" Ni(II)O6 clusters in the xNiO-(1-x)CaO grains is supposed to be increased by the applied stress, which would be the origin of the strain dependent electric conduction in the xNiO-(1-x)CaO system.aO system.

this paper presents an implementation of digital control system of speed sensorless for Reluctance Synchronous Motor (RSM) drives with direct torque control (DTC). The problem of DTC for high-dynamic performance RSM drive is generating a nonlinear torque due to a saturated nonlinear inductance curve with various load currents. The control system consists of stator flux observer, compensating inductance look-up table, rotor position/speed/torque estimator, two hysteresis band controllers, an optimal switching look-up table, IGBT voltage source unverter, and TMS320C31 DSP controller. The stator flux observer is based on the combined voltage and current model with stator flux feedback adapitve control that inputs are the compensated inductances, current and voltage sensing of motor terminal with estimated rotor angle for wide speed range. The rotor position is estimated rotor speed is determined by differentiation of the rotor position used only in the current model part of the flux observer for a low speed operation area. It does not requrie the knowledge of any montor paramenters, nor particular care for moter starting, In order to prove the suggested control algorithm, we have simulation and testing at actual experimental system. The developed sensorless control system is showing a good speed control response characterisitic result and high performance features in 20/1500 rpm with 1.0Kw RSM having 2.57 ratio of d/q reluctance.

In recent years, mica has been successfully used as a substrate for the growth of flexible epitaxial ferroelectric oxide thin films. Here, we systematically investigated the flexibility of mica in terms of its thickness, repeated bending/unbending, extremely hot/cold conditions, and successive thermal cycling. A $20-{\mu}m-thick$ sheet of mica is flexible even up to the bending radius of 5 mm, and it is durable for 20,000 cycles of up- and down-bending. In addition, the mica shows flexibility at 10 and 773 K, and thermal cycling stability for the temperature variation of ca. 400 K. Compared with the widely used flexible polyimide, mica has a significantly higher Young's modulus (ca. 5.4 GPa) and negligible hysteresis in the force-displacement curve. These results show that mica should be a suitable substrate for piezoelectric energy-harvesting applications of ferroelectric oxide thin films at extremely low and high temperatures.

Spherical nickel ferrite nanoparticles were synthesized using the thermal decomposition method and coated with cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) after the synthesis. Transmission electron microscopy images showed that the average diameter of the particles was 9.40 nm. The status of the CTAB-coating on the surface of the particles was checked using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Their hysteresis curve showed that the particles exhibited a superparamagnetic behavior. The $T_1$ and the $T_2$ relaxations of the nuclear spins were observed in aqueous solutions of the particles with different particles concentrations by using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner, which showed that the $T_1$ and the $T_2$ relaxivities of the particles in water were $0.57mM^{-1}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ and $10.42mM^{-1}{\cdot}s^{-1}$, respectively. In addition, using an induction heating system, we evaluated their potentials for magnetic hyperthermia applications. The aqueous solution of the particles with a moderate concentration (smaller than 6.5 mg/mL) showed a saturation temperature larger than the hyperthermia target temperature of $42^{\circ}C$. These findings show that the CTAB-coated nickel ferrite particles are suitable for applications as $T_2$ contrast agents in MRI and heat generators in magnetic hyperthermia.

This study proposes an RCS composite damping device that can achieve seismic reinforcement of existing buildings by dissipating energy by inelastic deformation. A series of experiments assessing the performances of the rubber core pad, hysteretic steel slit damping device, and hybrid RCS damping device were conducted. The results showed that the ratios of the deviations to the mean values satisfied the domestic damping-device conformity condition for the load at maximum device displacement in each direction, at the maximum force and minimum force at zero displacement, as well as the hysteresis curve area. In addition, three analysis models based on load-displacement characteristics were proposed for application to seismic reinforcement design. In addition, the validity of the three proposed models was confirmed, as they simulated the experimental results well. Meanwhile, as the shear deformation of the rubber-core pad increased, the hysteretic behavior of super-elasticity greatly increased the horizontal force of the damping device. Therefore, limiting the allowable displacement during design is deemed to be necessary.

Traditional metal dampers have disadvantages such as a higher yield point and inadequate adjustability. The experimental results show that the low yield point steel has superior energy dissipation hysteretic capacity and can be applied to seismic structures. To overcome these deficiencies, a novel compound metal damper comprising both low yield point steel plates and common steel plates is presented. The optimization objectives, including "maximum rigidity" and "full stress state", are proposed to obtain the optimal edge shape of a compound metal damper. The numerical results show that the optimized composite metal damper has the advantages such as full hysteresis curve, uniform stress distribution, more sufficient energy consumption, and it can adjust the yield strength of the damper according to the engineering requirements. In view of the mechanical characteristics of the compound metal damper, the equivalent model of eccentric cross bracing is established, and the approximate analytical solution of the yield strength and the yield displacement is proposed. A nonlinear simulation analysis is carried out for the overall aseismic capacity of three-layer-frame structures with a compound metal damper. It is verified that a compound metal damper has better energy dissipation capacity and superior seismic performance, especially for a damper with double-objective optimized shape.

The seismic performance of the reinforced concrete (RC) special-shaped column to steel beam connections with steel jacket used in the RC column to steel beam fabricated frame structures was investigated in this study. The three full-scale specimens were subjected to cyclic loading. The failure mode, ultimate bearing capacity, shear strength capacity, stiffness degradation, energy dissipation capacity, and strain distribution of the specimens were studied by varying the steel jacket thickness parameters. Test results indicate that the RC special-shaped column to steel beam connection with steel jacket is reliable and has excellent seismic performance. The hysteresis curve is full and has excellent energy dissipation capacity. The thickness of the steel jacket is an important parameter affecting the seismic performance of the proposed connections, and the shear strength capacity, ductility, and initial stiffness of the specimens improve with the increase in the thickness of the steel jacket. The calculation formula for the shear strength capacity of RC special-shaped column to steel beam connections with steel jacket is proposed on the basis of the experimental results and numerical simulation analysis. The theoretical values of the formula are in good agreement with the experimental values.

Steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are classified as lateral load-resisting systems. The feasibility of openings in the steel plate is a characteristic of SPSWs. The use of openings in SPSWs can lower the load capacity, stiffness, and energy dissipation. This study proposes a novel form of SPSWs that provides convenient access through openings by combining steel plates and eccentrically braced frames (EBFs). The proposed system also avoids a substantial reduction in the strength and stiffness. Hence, various geometric forms were analyzed through two different structural approaches. Groups 1, 2, and 3 included a steel EBF with a steel plate between the column and EBF in order to improve system performance. In Group 4, the proposed system was evaluated within an SPSW with openings and an EBF on the opening edge. To evaluate the performance of the proposed systems, the nonlinear finite element method (NL-FEM) was employed under cyclic loading. The hysteresis (load-drift) curve, stress contour, stiffness, and damping were evaluated as the structural outputs. The numerical models indicated that local buckling within the middle plate-EBF connection prevented a diagonal tension field. Moreover, in group 4, the EBF and stiffeners on the opening edge enhanced the structural response by approximately 7.5% in comparison with the base SPSW system.

악골과 구강은 피부, 근육, 입술, 뺨, 치은, 혀, 점막 등의 다양한 연조직으로 구성되어 있으며, 악구강계의 정상적인 기능을 평가하기 위해서는 각 연조직의 특성을 이해하는 것이 중요하다. 또한 각 조직의 질병 이환 여부와 치료 전후의 상태를 평가, 비교하는 것도 중요하므로 이를 평가하기 위한 다양한 연구들이 진행되어 왔다. 특히, 최근에는 촉각센서(tactile sensor)라는 새로운 기기가 개발되면서 연조직의 탄성 및 경도와 관련된 특성을 밝히려는 시도가 이루어지고 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 구강안면동통과 관련성이 높은 측두근, 교근 및 승모근의 근육상태를 촉각센서를 이용하여 평가함에 있어 먼저 술자간, 술자내 신뢰도를 조사하고자 하였다. 건강한 성인 남자 5명의 좌우측 전측두근, 교근 및 상부승모근의 경도와 탄성을 촉각센서(Venustron II, Axiom Co., Japan)를 이용하여 측정하였다. 각 근육당 표본수는 10개였다. 피검자를 의자에 바로 앉힌 다음, 피검자의 안면피부에 촉각센서의 probe를 각 근육에 수직되게 위치시켜 근육의 경도와 탄성을 측정하였다. 교근과 전측두근은 수축시 최대풍융부를 촉진하여 펜으로 표시하고 치아가 가볍게 닿게 한 안정 상태에서 센서의 probe를 근육의 최대풍융부에 수직으로 motor-drive를 이용하여 눌러서 측정하였다. 승모근은 상부를 촉진하여 표시한 다음, 동일한 방법으로 측정하였다. 피검자에 대하여 같은 날 2명의 술자가 각각 근육의 경도와 탄성의 변화를 측정하여 술자간 신뢰도 조사하였고, 2일 뒤 다시 한번 측정하여 술자내 신뢰도를 조사하였으며 통계분석에는 Correlation coefficient 및 Paired t-test를 이용하였다. 실험결과, 전측두근, 교근 및 상부승모근의 경도와 탄성에 대한 두 검사자의 평균값은 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으며 서로 높은 상관관계를 보여주었다. 또한 한 검사자가 2일의 간격을 두고 시행한 두 번의 검사에서도 두 검사간 평균값은 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으며 서로 높은 상관관계를 보여주었다. 즉, 촉각센서를 사용한 교근과 전측두근 및 상부승모근의 경도와 탄성의 평가는 높은 술자간, 술자내 신뢰도를 보여주었으며, 두경부 근육을 정량적으로 평가할 수 있는 재현성 높고 효과적인 검사법이라고 할 수 있다.
