In this study, microstructural and piezoelectric characteristics of PNW-PMN-PZT ceramics manufactured using attrition milling method were investigated. Sintering temperature of the ceramics was varied from $1080^{\circ}C$ to $1240^{\circ}C$. With increasing sintering temperature, dielectric constant increased. In the specimen sintered at $1120^{\circ}C$, electromechanical coupling factor(Kp) and density showed the maxinum values of 0.546 and 7.78[$g/\textrm{cm}^3$], respectively. In the specimen sintered at $1160^{\circ}C$, mechanical quality factor(Qm) also showed the maxinum value of 1,943. Contour vibration mode piezoelectric transformer with the size of $27.5{\times}27.5{\times}2.5mm$ using PNW-PMN-PZT ceramics was manufactured and its driving characteristics for T5 fluorescent lamp was investigated. Taking into consideration temperature rise of 6.8[$^{\circ}C$] and efficiency of 98.23%, it can be concluded that the transformer is suitable for driving the T5 fluorescent lamp.

In this paper, in order to develop the low temperature sintering ceramics for multilayer piezoelectric transformer, PMN-PZT ceramics were manufactured with the variations of sintering times, and their microstructural, piezoelectric and dielectric properties were investigated. To manufacture multilayer piezoelectric transformer, the low temperature sintering composition is need, hence, $Li_2CO_3$ and $Bi_2O_3$ were used as sintering aids and the specimens were sintered during 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 minutes, respectively. At the specimen sintered during 90 minute, mechanical quality factor(Qm), electromechanical coupling factor(kp) and dielectric constant were showed the optimum values of 2356, 0.504 and 1266, respectively. All the specimens showed tetragonality phase, and pyrochlore phase was not shown.

In this study, lead-free piezoelectric ceramics were investigated for pressure sensor applications as a function of the amount of $CeO_2$ addition at Bi(Na,K)$TiO_3-SrTiO_3$ system. With increasing the amount of $CeO_2$ addition, the density and dielectric constant increased. Electromechanical coupling factor($k_p$) showed the maximum value(kp, 0.39) at 0.1wt% $CeO_2$ addition and decreased above 0.1wt% $CeO_2$ addition., Density, dielectric constant(${\varepsilon}_r$) increased but mechanical quality factor(Qm), piezoelectric constant(d33) decreased in $CeO_2$ addition, respectively.

$(K_{0.5}Na_{0.5})NbO_3$ (NKN) ceramics doped with $Li_{2}CO_3$ as sintering aids were manufactured in order to develop the low temperature sintering ceramics for piezoelectric device. The sintering aids were proved to lower the sintering temperature of doped NKN ceramics due to the effect of $Na_{2}CO_{3}-Li_{2}CO_3$ liquid phase. All the specimens showed the orthorhombic phase without secondary phase. And also, the piezoelectric properties of specimens were improved with increasing $Li_{2}CO_3$ contents. At sintering temperature of $930^{\circ}C$, the density, electromechanical coupling factor (kp), mechanical quality factor (Qm) and dielectric constant(${\epsilon}_{\gamma}$), piezoelectric constant of 0.3 wt.% $Li_{2}CO_3$ added specimen showed the optimum values of $4.255 g/cm^3$, 0.37, 234, 309, 136 pC/N, respectively.

Recently, piezoelectric transformer is applied to wide fields. Multi layer piezoelectric transformer has the advantage of high step up ratio, high electromechanical coupling coefficient(Kp) and high mechanical quality factor(Qm), however it shows the peeling-phenomenon of electrode, and high price due to high sintering temperature. Therefore this study focus on the method for fabrication of high power rosen type piezoelectric transformers. The composition of $0.01Pb(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3)O_3$ - 0.08Pb$(Mn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$-0.91Pb$(Zr_{0.505}Ti_{0.495})O_3$(abbreviated as PNN-PMN-PZT) ceramics is employed for this study.

In this paper, a non-conforming 3-D 8-node solid element(MQM10) has beets applied to the analyses of static and dynamic bending problems of laminated composite plates The QM10 element exhibits stiffer bending stiffness which is caused by the reduction of degree of freedom from Q11 element. As an effective way to correct the relative stiffness stiffening phenomenon the modification of Gauss sampling points for composite plates is proposed. The quantity of modification is a function of material properties. Also, another two modified equations are obtained, one is modification for stress, and the other is modification of coefficient of shear modulus in free vibration. It is noted that MQM10 element can analyse the static and free vibration problems of various 3-dimensional composite plates composed of unidirectional laminae, woven laminae or braided laminae. The results of MQM10 element are in good agreement with those of 20-node element.

The failure of LCC analysis is recognized as a serious risk for companies in fast-paced business environment. LCC analysis has been mentioned and analyzed only in accounting perspectives, but recently engineering perspectives of LCC analysis based on the execution of appropriate procedures become more important than the accounting perspectives. Especially, the practical use of reliability engineering related methodologies is recognized as a key factor for the LCC analysis. For the practical use of reliability methods, LCC analysis for unexposed problems is a key issue, and utilizing FMEA and FTA techniques is needed to solve the unexposed problems. Reliability, maintainability, availability, and safety should be evaluated by the LCC analysis with the reliability methods, so we study methodologies for the LCC analysis. Present Worth can be calculated by multiplication of Annual Equivalent Cost and PWAF. Reliability engineering related methods are needed for the process of dividing Present Worth into PWAF, and the practical use of reliability methods can improve accuracy of LCC analysis.

Effects of MnO2 addition ranged from 0.0wt% to 5.0wt% on the microstructure and dielectric and piezoelectric properties of the Pb(Zr0.52 Ti0.48)O3 Ceramics have been investigated. The solubility limit of MnO2 in Pb(Zr0.52 Ti0.48)O3 is about 0.5wt%, and MnO2 as a valence state of Mn3+ is substituted for (Zr, Ti) lattice site in PZT solid-solution. The addition of MnO2 up to 0.5wt% in Pb(Zr0.52 Ti0.48)O3 brings increase of density, but decreased of grain size and tetragonality. Dielectric constant slightly decreases, but both coupling factor(Kp) and mechanical quality factor(Qm) increase with the addition of MnO2. However, excess amount of MnO2 addition more than 0.75wt% results in rapid decrease of resistance. Dielectric constant and tan $\delta$ increase due to the second phase and inhomogeneous Mn distribution.

Five model coils of 6.6 kV motor were manufactured with several defects. These stator coils have artificial defects such as void of groundwall insulation, removal of semi-conductive coating and damage of strand insulation. Epoxy-mica coupler(80 pF) was connected to five model coil terminals. The voltage applied to the coils was 3.81 kV, 4.76 kV, 6.0 kV and 6.6 kV, respectively. Partial discharge(PD) tests performed in the laboratory and shield room. Digital PD detector(PDD) and turbine generator analyzer(TGA) were used to measure PD activity. TGA summarizes each plot with two quantities such as the normalized quantity number(NQN) and the peak PD magnitude(Qm). The PD levels in pC were measured with PDD. PD patterns of model coils were indicated the internal and slot discharges. PD patterns are consistent with the result of measurement using PDD and TGA instruments. AC breakdown test was performed on five model coils in order to confirm the result of PD measurements. All the failures were located in a line-end coil at the exit from the core slot.

RAINBOW(Reduced And Internally Biased Oxide Wafers) are a new class of high-displacement, piezoelectric actuator produced by selectively removing oxygen from one surface of ceramic using a high-temperature chemical reduction process. In this paper, RAINBOW actuator materials of $0.4Pb(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-0.6Pb(Zr_{x}Ti_{1-x})O_3$ ceramics were prepared. Its dielectric and piezoelectric properties were investigated in the vicinity of MPB. The piezoelectric properties showed the maximum value of ${\epsilon}r$ = 4871, $d_{33}$ = 610 ($10^{-12}$ m/V), $d_{31}$ = -299 ($10^{-12}$ m/V), $k_{33}$ = $71\%$, Qm = 70, in $0.4Pb(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_{3}-0.6Pb(Zr_{405}Ti_{595})O_3$ composition sintered at $1250^{\circ}C$. The strain - electric field characteristics of RAINBOW actuator were significantly improved comparison with the conventional bulk actuator. The prepared RAINBOW actuator showed about $390\;{\mu}m/100\;V$ displacement.
