Dyeing properties using natural material named Sasa quelpaertensis Nakai were investigated under various conditions such as fabric type, pH, concentration, temperature, dyeing time and dipping count. Sasa quelpaertensis Nakai is a unique material in that it is raised only at Halla mountain in Jeju island and is known to have healing effect. Overall, wool fabrics were better than cotton fabrics in all aspects of the dyeing properties showing reddish yellow. For the fastness properties, robbins washing and perspiration fastness were excellent but lightfastness was poor as expected.

Leak Before Break(LBB) design concept is applied to piping systems of newly-built Yonggwang 3, 4 nuclear generating stations as a design alternative to the provision of pipe whip restraints, in recognition of the questionable benefits of providing such restraints. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the material properties (tensile and fracture toughness) of SA312 TP316 stainless steel and their associated welds manufactured for shutdown cooling system of Yonggwang 3, 4 nuclear generating stations. Effect of various parameters such as specimen orientation, test temperature, welding on material properties were examined.

Composites exhibit larger dispersion in their material properties compared to conventional materials due to larger number of parameters associated with their manufacturing processes. A $C^0$ finite element method has been used for arriving at an eigenvalue problem using higher order shear deformation theory for initial buckling of laminated composite plates. The material properties have been modeled as basic random variables. A mean-centered first order perturbation technique has been used to find the probabilistic characteristics of the buckling loads with different edge conditions. Results have been compared with Monte Carlo simulation, and those available in literature.

Concrete is a composite material and at meso-level, may be assumed to be composed of three phases: aggregate, mortar-matrix and aggregate-matrix interface. It is postulated herein that although non-linear material parameters are generally used to model this composite structure by finite element method, linear elastic fracture mechanics principles can be used for modelling at the meso level, if the properties of all three phases are known. For this reason, a novel meso-mechanical approach for concrete fracture which uses the composite material model with distributed-phase for elastic properties of phases and considers the size effect according to linear elastic fracture mechanics for strength properties of phases is presented in this paper. Consequently, the developed model needs two parameters such as compressive strength and maximum grain size of concrete. The model is applied to three most popular fracture mechanics approaches for concrete namely the two-parameter model, the effective crack model and the size effect model. It is concluded that the developed model well agrees with considered approaches.

To quantitatively assess the safety against seismic collapse of eccentrically braced steel frame (EBSF) system, 24 typical EBSFs with K-shape and V-shape braces with seismic precautionary intensities 8 and 9 were designed complying with China seismic design code and relative codes to constitute archetype space of this structure system. In the archetype space, the collapse probability of the structural system under maximum considered earthquakes (MCE) was researched. The results show that the structures possess necessary safety against seismic collapse when they respectively encounter the maximum considered earthquakes corresponding to their seismic precautionary levels, and their collapse probabilities increase with increasing seismic precautionary intensities. Moreover, the EBSFs with V-shape braces have smaller collapse probability, thus greater capacity against seismic collapse than those with K-shape braces.

To assess a creep life of elevated temperature plant components, inspections and analysis are usually focused on the critical locations. In this study, stress analysis of a weld region in branch part of Y-piece was conducted by using a three-dimensional finite element analysis. The stresses at the inner and outer surface in the weld part were estimated by using elastic and elastic-creep analysis. For the elastic-creep analysis two kinds of elastic-creep analysis was conducted. The one was assumed that base and weld material properties were same and the other was that material properties were different between base and weld metal. The material properties of base and weld metal were used from reference data. The results showed the stress relaxation level and its location. The result stresses are also compared with elastic stresses.

In this paper, synthetic conditions of titania nanparticle was investigated to enhance its uniformity of the particle size as a child particle on organic mother particle of liquid powder type electronic paper. The physical properties are very important to improve the uniformity of electrical charging properties Concentration of titania raw material ($C_9H_{19}NO_4Ti$) in the ethanol solvent, pH, and concentration of the solution in the D.I. water were selected as parameters. As a result, ultrafine and well crystallized titania nanoparticle with good uniformity could be synthesized as the concentration of the $C_9H_{19}NO_4Ti$ in the ethanol solvent, pH of the solution, and the amount of the D.I. water were increased. Using the optimized conditions, the titania nanparoticle with uniformly ultrafime size of 10 nm could be synthesized.

In this study, to show well favorable characteristics of warm forged material, we compared and analyzed microstructure and mechanical properties of general hot-forged material which finished heat treatment with warm-forged material which was produced by control cooling condition. Along with this, we suggested better direction of control cooling condition to be able to remove heat treatment process while satisfying mechanical properties.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influences on mechanical properties of motor pistons manufactured by casting, conventional forging and powder forging, using the comparison of characteristics like microstructure, hardness, tensile strength, and elongation. To form conventional forging piston, the experiment of visioplasticity was performed. As the model material, plasticine was used. To form powder forging piston, the shape of piston was simplified as simple cup shape. Material properties like workability, density variation before and after forging, and strain loci of material during forging were investigated. Powder forging and conventional forging technologies were effective to gain dense microstructure. In powder forging, distribution of such dense microstructuer was uniform. For hardness, pistons from powder forging and conventional forging technologies were much better than that from casting. For tensile strength and elongation, powder forging and conventional forging technologies were also advantageous.

In this paper, we studied on the electrical characteristics of insulation material of elastomer epoxy. As the results of test, properties of epoxy represent differently according to elastomer contents. Also, its permittivity, tan ${\delta}$ and BDV(Break-Down Voltage) strength show big difference when those compare before moisture absorption test and after moisture absorption test. From this test we find results that mush elastomer contents can cause insulation properties to degrade.
