In order to elucidate the machinability of lead brass, orthogonal machining experiment was conducted in SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) equipped with a micro-machining device at a cutting speed of $7{\mu}m/s$ for brass containing 0.2 to 3wt% Pb. The microfactors (i.e., shear angle, contact length between chip and tool) were determined by in-situ observations. Machinability of brass containing lead is discussed in terms of the microfactors and the cutting resistant force tested by lathe cutting. The dynamic behavior of the chip formation of lead brass during the machining process was examined: The chips of lead brass form as a shear angle type. The shear angle increases with the content of lead in (6:4) brass. The pronounced effect of lead on the contact length between chip and tool was observed above 1% Pb. The cutting resistant force tested by lathe decreases remarkably with the lead content in brass. The observed microfactors are in close relation to the tested resistant force in macromachining.

The configuration of an open ground floor (pilotis) is a common and very critical irregularity observed in multistory reinforced concrete frame structures. The characteristics and the geometrical formation of the beams of the first story proved to be a critical parameter for the overall seismic behavior of this type of Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures. In this work the combination of open ground floor (pilotis) morphology with very strong perimetrical beams at the level of the first story is studied. The observation of the seismic damages and the in situ measurements of the fundamental period of four buildings with this morphology and Π-shaped plan view are presented herein. Further analytical results of a pilotis type Π-shaped RC structure are also included in the study. From the measurements and the analytical results yield that the open ground floor configuration greatly influences the fundamental period whereas this morphology in combination with strong beams can lead to severe local shear damages in the columns of the ground floor. The structural damage was limited in the columns of the ground floor and yet based on the changes of the in situ measured fundamental period the damaged level is assessed as DI=88%. Furthermore, due to the Π-shape of the plan view the tendency of the parts of the building to move independently strongly influences the distribution of the damages over the ground floor vertical elements.

We observed internal space charge behavior for two types of epoxy composites under dc electric fields to investigate the influence of water at high temperature. In the case of glass/epoxy specimen, homocharge is observed at water-treated specimen, and spatial oscillations become clearer in the water-treated specimens. Electric field in the vicinity of the electrodes shows the injection of homocharge. In aramid/epoxy specimens, heterocharge is observed at water-treated specimens, i.e. negative charge accumulates near the anode, while positive charge accumulates near the cathode. Electric field is enhanced just before each electrode. In order to further examine the mechanism of space charge formation, we have developed a new system that allows in situ space charge observation during ion migration tests at high temperature and high humidity. Using this in situ system.

The steel plate-girder bridges with concrete gravity piers have possibilities of overturning by lateral inertial force which can be reproduced by sudden earthquake attack. This paper explores an overturning mechanism of existing concrete gravity pier onto the sandy soil in the event of lateral push-over load by in-situ experimental observation. The in-situ push-over experiment for pier with earth anchors between spread footing and rock beds exhibits a reasonable enhancement of ductility against overturning. In unanchored system, a flexural crack at cold joint of concrete pier is not developed because of the over-turning of the pier. This leads a global instability (rotation) of pier-footing system with relatively low stresses in pier itself. While a lateral load is persistently increased in anchored system, the successive flexural cracking failure at cold joint is observed even after the local shear failure of soil due to redistribution of stress equilibrium between soil and pier structure as long as a tensile action of anchor cable is active.

The in-situ heating transmission electron microscopy experiment allows us to observe the time- and temperature-dependent dynamic processes in nanoscale materials by examining the same specimen. The temperature, which is a major experimental parameter, must be measured accurately during in-situ heating experiments. Therefore, calibrating the thermocouple readout of the heating holder prior to the experiment is essential. The calibration can be performed using reference materials whose phase-transformation (melting, oxidation, reduction, etc.) temperatures are well-established. In this study, the calibration experiment was performed with four reference materials, i.e., pure Sn, Al-95 wt%Zn eutectic alloy, NiO/carbon nanotube composite, and pure Al, and the calibration curve and formula were obtained. The thermocouple readout of the holder used in this study provided a reliable temperature value with a relative error of <4%.

Synthesis and characteristics of Cu nanopowder were considered by in-situ characterization method using SMPS in pulsed wire evaporation process. With increasing pressure in chamber, particle size and degree of agglomeration increased by increase of collision frequency. Also, it was found from the XRD analyses and BET measurements that crystallite size and particle size decreased with elevating applied voltage. However, SMPS measurements and TEM observation revealed the increase of particle size and degree of agglomeration with increase of applied voltage. These results suggested that particle growth and agglomeration depend on overheating factor in chamber at the early stage and thermal coagulation in filtering system during powder formation until collection.

To evaluate the wear characteristics of very thin ceramic coated layer, it is very important to investigate its wear process in great detail. An effective method for investigating the wear of a thin layer is the observation of wear process in microscopic detail, using in-situ system. In this study, based on the SEM Tribosystem as in-situ system, the microscopic wear mode of TiN coatings was investigated in repeated sliding. Consequently, four modes were revealed for TiN coatings: Ploughing, powder formation, flake formation and coating delimitation. Sc(Severity of contact) can clarify transition condition of those microscopic wear modes.

Electromigration(EM) tests were carried out on Al and Cu films in HV systems to study surface migration. The Al films were made on oxidized silicon wafers by thermal evaporation, in-situ annealed at 300$^{\circ}C$, patterned, and EM tested at 260$^{\circ}C$ and 4.5MA/$\textrm{cm}^2$. SEM observation with back scattered electron mode on the EM tested Al films disclosed that thinning took place under the native Al oxide. In the case of Cu films, tested using in-situ TEM, thinning was also observed at the early stage of void formation even though the thinned areas were much less than those of the Al films.

We report the new threadlike structures outside the blood vessels of mice. For this, we developed an in-situ searching method of the structure by vital staining with the dye of acridine orange and using a fluorescent stereomicroscope designed specifically for this purpose. We consider that the newly found threadlike structure might be rediscovery of the extra-vascular Bonghan duct which was reported in 1963 by Bonghan Kim.
