Bars of OFHC Cu with the diameter of 45 mm were processed by equal channel angular pressing up to 16 passes via route $B_c$, and homogeneity of their microstructures and mechanical properties was examined at every four passes which develop the equiaxed ultrafine grains. In general, overall hardness, yield strength and tensile strength increased by 3, 7, and 2 times respectively compared with those of unECAPed sample. Cross-sectional hardness exhibited a concentric distribution. Hardness was the highest at the center of bar and it decreased gradually from center to surface. After 16 passes, overall hardness decreased due to recovery and partial recrystallization. Regardless of the number of passage, yield strength and tensile strength were quite uniform at all positions, but elongation showed some degree of scattering. At 4 passes, coarse and ultrafine grains coexisted at all positions. After 4 passes, uniform equiaxed ultrafine grains were obtained at the center, while uniform elongated ultrafine grains were manifested at the upper half position. At the lower half position, grains were equiaxed but its size were inhomogeneous. It was found that inhomogeneity of grain morphology and grain size distribution at different positions are to be attributed to scattering in elongation but they did not affect strength. The present results reveal the high potential of practical application of equal channel angular pressing on fabrication of large-sized ultrafine grained bars with quite homogeneous mechanical properties.

This work presents a modified analytical model for the bending behavior of axially functionally graded (AFG) carbon nanotubes reinforced composite (CNTRC) nanobeams. New higher order shear deformation beam theory is exploited to satisfy parabolic variation of shear through thickness direction and zero shears at the bottom and top surfaces.A Modified continuum nonlocal strain gradient theoryis employed to include the microstructure and the geometrical nano-size length scales. The extended rule of the mixture and the molecular dynamics simulations are exploited to evaluate the equivalent mechanical properties of FG-CNTRC beams. Carbon nanotubes reinforcements are distributed axially through the beam length direction with a new power graded function with two parameters. The equilibrium equations are derived with associated nonclassical boundary conditions, and Navier's procedure are used to solve the obtained differential equation and get the response of nanobeam under uniform, linear, or sinusoidal mechanical loadings. Numerical results are carried out to investigate the impact of inhomogeneity parameters, geometrical parameters, loadings type, nonlocal and length scale parameters on deflections and stresses of the AFG CNTRC nanobeams. The proposed model can be used in the design and analysis of MEMS and NEMS systems fabricated from carbon nanotubes reinforced composite nanobeam.

종이재(PA)와 대부분의 석탄회(FA)는 현재 매립에 의존하거나, 일부 시멘트의 대체재로 밖에 쓰이지 않는 폐기물로써, 이들을 자원으로 재활용한다면 환경을 보전할 뿐만 아니라 유용한 대체자원이 될 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 점토를 30 wt%로 고정하고 폐기물의 양을 70 wt%로 하되, 폐기물내의 PA 대 FA의 비율은 $1:6{\sim}7:0$, 소결 온도는 $1150{\sim}1350^{\circ}C$ 범위내에서 변화시켜 제조된 소결체의 미세구조 및 물성을 분석하였다. 저온($1150{\sim}1200^{\circ}C$) 소결시에는 PA 첨가량이 증가할수록, 소결밀도가 증가한 반면, 높은 온도($1250{\sim}1350^{\circ}C$)에서 소결한 경우, PA첨가량이 증가할수록 과소결 현상이 발생하였고, 이로인해 미세구조가 불균일해지고 기공율이 증가되었다. 또한 시편의 기계적 특성은 미세구조의 균일성에 크게 좌우되었다. 예를들어 $1225^{\circ}C$에서 소결한 경우, 미세구조가 균일한 시편(10PA-60FA-30Clay)은 미세구조가 불균일한 시편(70PA-30Clay)에 비해 상대밀도값은 비슷하였으나 압축강도는 2배이상 높았다. 미세구조의 불균일성은 과소결에 인한 것으로 나타났다.

$\beta$-SiC와 AIN의 혼합분말로부터 열간가압소결에 의하여 고밀도의 SiC-AIN 고용체가 $1870^{\circ}C$에서 $2030^{\circ}C$ 사이의 온도범위에서 제조되어졌다. 온도와 SiC/AIN의 비 및 seed의 존재에 따라 AIN과 $\beta$-SiC(3C) 분말의 반응은 2 H (wurzite) 구조로의 전이를 나타내었다. 결정상들은 SiC-rich 및 AIN-rich 고용체로 구성되었다. $2030^{\circ}C$, 1시간에서 5 wt%의 $\alpha$-SiC seed를 첨가한 50 % AIN/50% SiC의 조성에 대하여 완전한 고용체가 얻어졌으며, 미세구조가 비교적 균일한 2 H상의 결정립 크기를 가지고균일한 성장경향을 나타내었다. SiC-AIN 고용체에 있어서 $\alpha$-SiC seed의 변수가 전이기구 및 결정립의 크기와 모양을 비롯한 결정립 크기의 분포, 조성의 불균일성과 구조적 결함 등에 영향을 미칠 수 있었다.
