Stress relaxation tests with different percent deformation were performed for crude and refined starch gels of acorn. With no relation to percent deformation, refined starch gel had higher initial stress ($\sigma_e$) and lower equilibrium stress ($\sigma_e$) than crude starch gel. But the ratio of equilibrium stress to initial stress ($\sigma_e$/$\sigma_o$) was minimum at 60 percent deformation. The analysis of relaxation curves by successive residual method revealed that the rheological behavior of acorn starch gels could be expressed by generalized Maxwell model. The element numbers of models for crude and refined starch gel were 7-element and 5-element at 60 percent deformation, and 5-element and 3-element at 45 percent deformation, respectively.

A series of experimental studies are conducted on the deformation and shear strength property of compacted loess. The results reveal that the relationships of both the initial moisture content (w) and the initial degree of compaction (K) of compacted loess with cohesion (w) and the angle of internal friction (${\varphi}$) are linear. The relationship between the secant modulus ($E_{soi}$) and K is also linear. The relationship between $E_{soi}$ and w can be fitted well by a second-order polynomial. Further, when the influences of w and K are ignored, the relationship between the confined compression strain (${\varepsilon}$) and vertical pressure (p) can be expressed by a formula. A correction formula for the deformation of compacted loess caused by a change in w and K is derived on the basis of the study results.

In this study, with the view to using effectively small and medium diameter Korean domestic woods as structural materials, cross-laminated woods were manufactured by using six species of Korean domestic softwoods and hardwoods, and bending creep properties were investigated for each species. The creep curves showed the shape of the exponential function plot, and the creep curves after 1 hour were able to estimate by fitting it to the power law. The initial and creep compliances of cross-laminated woods showed the higher values in wood species with a low density than in that with a high density. And by cross-laminating, the initial and creep compliances perpendicular to the grain considerably decreased, the extent of the decrease was found to be greater in creep deformation than in initial deformation. The creep anisotropies of cross-laminated woods were considerably decreased by cross-laminating. The relative creep of $C_{\bot}$ type composed of perpendicular-direction lamina in the faces decreased 0.59 - 0.64 times compared to that of $P_{\bot}$ type composed of perpendicular-direction laminae in all layers, and that for $C_{\parallel}$ type composed of parallel-direction laminae in the faces increased 1.5 - 1.6 times compared to that of $P_{\parallel}$ type composed of parallel-direction laminae in all layers.

The design of sheet metal working processes is based on the knowledge about the deformation mechanism and the influence of the process parameters. The typical geometric process parameters are the die geometry, the initial sheet thickness, the initial blank shape, and so on. The initial blank shape is of vital importance in the most sheet metal forming operations, especially in the deep drawing process, since the forming load and the strain distribution are significantly affected by the shape of an initial blank. The influence of the initial blank shape on a square cup deep drawing process is investigated by the numerical simulation and the experiment. The numerical simulation is carried out by a modified membrane finite element method which takes bending deformation into account. The numerical and experi-mental results show that the initial blank shape have strong influence on the forming load and the strain distribution. The numerical results are compared with the experimental results and other numerical results which are calculated with the membrane theory.

In the present study, the microstructural evolution and deformation behavior of AA 2014 aluminum alloys with different microstructures in a semi-solid state were investigated. For a given alloy, applied load and deformation time, the measured strain was higher at a higher temperature, indicative of a lower solid fraction. When a large proportion of the liquid was present as intragranular droplets, the alloy would not as easily deform because the effective liquid fraction between the solid grains had decreased. Greater deformation was achieved with higher grain boundary misorientations due to the enhanced wetting of the grain boundaries with liquid. A semi-empirical constitutive model is proposed for semi-solid deformation under the conditions in the present study. The mechanism of semi-solid deformation incorporates the initial flow of the liquid in the early stages of deformation, followed by a more gradual increase in the strain due to deformation by grain sliding accompanied by self-diffusion in the solid grains.

Objectives : The present study is to verify whether the deformation of ear acupuncture needle tips that are currently on the market is caused during the process of initial packaging. Methods : Ear acupuncture needles distributed from three different companies were collected to measure the size of the groove on the transparent plate which is used in for the intial packaging. Then the tolerance range for off-centered tips, which represent the range of the groove size that is safe from damaging the needle tip, was determined based on the vertical length measured from tip to handle. 200 ear acupuncture needles were dipped in alcohol and scanned to confirm the position of the needles. Stereo-microscope was used to observe the needle tips that were located outside the tolerance range. Results : The increased number of ear acupuncture needle tips placed outside the tolerance range were seen from in the order of C company, A company and B company. The increased deformation of the needle tips caused by initial packaging was observed in the order of A company, C company and B company. Conclusion : Only the ear acupuncture needles from B company showed the strong correlation between needle tip deformation and initial packaging. It has been observed that the deformation of the ear acupuncture needles is mainly due to manufacturing process, not the packaging process.

The formability of DP steels can be affected by not only initial texture but also deformation texture evolved during plastic deformation. To investigate the evolution of deformation texture during deep drawing, deep drawing process for DP steels was carried out experimentally. A rate sensitive polycrystal model was used to predict texture evolution during deep drawing process. In order to evaluate the strain path during deep drawing, a steady state was assumed in the flange part of deep drawn cup. A rate sensitive polycrystal model successfully predicted the texture development in DP steels during deep drawing process. It was found that the final stable orientations were strongly dependent on the initial location in the blank.

A novel finite element mesh regeneration method is presented for 3D shape optimization of electromagnetic devices. The method has its theoretical basis in the structural deformation of an elastic body. When the shape of the electromagnetic devices changes during the optimization process, a proper 3D finite element mesh can be easily obtained using the method from the initial mesh. For real engineering problems, the method guarantees a smooth shape with proper mesh quality, and maintains the same mesh topology as the initial mesh. Application of the optimum design of an electromagnetic shielding plate shows the effectiveness of the presented method.

The reorientations of the atoms by frictional shear deformation at the surface induce cracks at the boundary of the grain. The cracks grow and propagate in regions where the hydrostatic component of stress is least compressive because the compressive component restores the cracks by three-dimensional crystallizing $\pi$-bondings. The materials with Lder's band have very small amount of wear at the initial state. It suggests that initial frictional shear deformation be consumed to the formation of the Lder's band. The average wear amounts of the materials increase very steeply as the øu the stress-strain ratio at the ultimate point, decreases.

Geometric mapping technique has been used to find the shape of initial blank for sheet forming. The method was chosen because of its simplicity and numerical efficiency. Error in blank shape were measured along deformation path by FE analysis of forming. Blank shape was modified by volume additionaddition/Subtractiontraction method with taking with taking into account of deformation path. Modified blank shape shows an acceptable result, showing the current method can be an useful tool for predicting blank shape in the practical application. More test will be done to verify the validity of the method.
