Cantilever retaining wall movements generally depend on the intensity and duration of ground motion, the response of the soil underlying the wall, the response of the backfill, the structural rigidity, and soil-structure interaction (SSI). This paper investigates the effect of material properties on seismic response of backfill-cantilever retaining wall-soil/foundation interaction system considering SSI. The material properties varied include the modulus of elasticity, Poisson's ratio, and mass density of the wall material. A series of nonlinear time history analyses with variation of material properties of the cantilever retaining wall are carried out by using the suggested finite element model (FEM). The backfill and foundation soil are modelled as an elastoplastic medium obeying the Drucker-Prager yield criterion, and the backfill-wall interface behavior is taken into consideration by using interface elements between the wall and soil to allow for de-bonding. The viscous boundary model is used in three dimensions to consider radiational effect of the seismic waves through the soil medium. In the seismic analyses, North-South component of the ground motion recorded during August 17, 1999 Kocaeli Earthquake in Yarimca station is used. Dynamic equations of motions are solved by using Newmark's direct step-by-step integration method. The response quantities incorporate the lateral displacements of the wall relative to the moving base and the stresses in the wall in all directions. The results show that while the modulus of elasticity has a considerable effect on seismic behavior of cantilever retaining wall, the Poisson's ratio and mass density of the wall material have negligible effects on seismic response.

Using the nano Fe powders having 50 nm in diameter, Fe compact bodies were fabricated by injec-tion molding process. The relationship between microstructure and material properties depending on the volume ratio of powder/binder and sintering temperature were characterized by SEM, TEM techniques. In the compact body with the volume percentage ratio of 45(Fe powder) : 55(binder), which was sintered at $700^{\circ}C,$ the relative density was about $97{\%},$ and the values of volume shrinkage and hardness were about $66.3{\%}$ and 242.0 Hv, respec-tively. Using the composition of 50(Fe powder) : 50(binder) and sintered at $700^{\circ}C,$ the values of relative density, volume shrinkage and hardness of Fe sintered bodies were $73.3{\%},\;47.6{\%}$ and 152.8 Hv, respectively. They showed brittle fracture mode due to the porous and fine microstructure.

Dynamic characteristics of powder metal is very important to mechanical structures requiring high strength or endurance for impact loading. But owing to distinctive property of powder metal, that is relative, it has been investigated restrictively compared to static characteristics. The objectives of this study is to investigate dynamic characteristics of powder metal and compare it to a fully density material. To find the characteristics, an explicit finite element method is used for simulation of Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar experiment based on the stress wave propagation theory. We obtained a dynamic stress-strain relationship and dynamic behavior of powder metal, as well as the variation of material properties during dynamic deformation.

Plasma polymerized hexamethyldisiloxane thin film was fabricated by employing an inter-electrode capacitively coupled type apparatus under the following conditions : carrier gas flow rate of 11 sccm, reaction pressure of 0.1 torr, discharge frequency of 13.56 MHz and discharge power of 30∼90 W. Polymerization rate of thin film fabricated at the discharge power of 90W is 32.5nm/min. Relative dielectric constant and dielectric loss tangent of thin film shows 3.2∼3.8 and 2.6x10$\^$-3/∼4.51x10$\^$-3/ respectively in the frequency range of 1 kHz∼1 MHz. As the annealing temperature is increased, the relative dielectric constant gradually decreases while the dielectric loss tangent increases. The current density increase gradually with increasing annealing temperature and electric field. The electric conduction of the heaxamethyldisiloxane thin film shows Schottky effect.

In this paper, we introduced a LIF measurement method and summarized the theoretical side. When an altered wavelength of laser and electric power, lamp applied electric power, we measured the relative density of the metastable state in mercury after observing a laser induced fluorescence signal of 404.8nm and 546.2nm, and confirmed the horizontal distribution of plasma density in the discharge lamp. The results confirmed the resonance phenomenon regarding the energy level of atoms along a wavelength change, and also confirmed that the largest fluorescent signal in 436nm, and that the density of atoms in 546.2nm ($6^3S_1\rightarrow6^3P_2$) were larger than 404.8nm ($6^3S_1\rightarrow6^3P_1$). According to the increase of lamp applied electric power, plasma density increased, too. When increased with laser electric power, the L1F signal reached a saturation state in more than 2.6mJ. When partial plasma density distribution along a horizontal axis was measured using the laser induced fluorescence method, the density decreased by recombination away from the center.

The crystal structure of ZnS fabricated by gas-liquid phase reaction was refined by the Rietveld program using X-ray diffraction data. The R-weighted pattern (R$\sub$wp/) of ZnS powder was 10.85%. The fraction of HCP phase was closely related with extra amount of H$_2$S gas. The lattice parameters and crystalline size were changed by the relative ratio of multi-phase. The luminescence property of ZnS:Cu, Al green phosphors prepared by conventional methods was good in the range of 91∼94% and 150∼190${\AA}$, respectively. According to the maximum entropy electron density(MEED) methods, any defects in (001) plane of cubic phase were not found. We suggest that both the Rietveld and maximum entropy density methods may be useful tools for studying luminescence mechanism of other phosphors materials.

The effort attempts to investigate the influence of various non-oriented electrical steel sheets on the core loss of a switched reluctance motor (SRM). The core loss of the motor inherits a strong correlation with flux density and permeability of the material. The study involves the use of laminated 2.7 % high silicon steel suitable for the motor in view of its higher flux density and lower core loss. The accurate prediction of core loss leaves way to suggest measures for improving the performance of the SRM. The dynamic simulation measurements of a 1.5 kW, three-phase 12/8 SRM involve the finite element method (FEM) and use the data obtained experimentally from Epstein frame. The closeness of the simulated and hardware results obtained with laminations of M400-50A, DI MAX-M19 and DI MAX-M15 both for the stator and rotor, espouse a greater significance to the findings in terms of the core loss density and forge new dimensions for its use in the drive industry.

Most tunnel lining material which has been used in the domestic is a concrete. But many problems as the construction period, the cost, and the crack occurrence for the design, construction, and management were happened in the concrete lining. For this reason, many research institutes like the Korea Highway Corporation recognize the necessity of an alternate material development and grow on the interest for that. So in this study, the seismic behaviour characteristics for the application of the Corrugated Steel Plate Lining in cut-and-cover tunnel are evaluated as several conditions for the backfill height, the cutting slope, and the relative density of backfill soil are changed. The compressive stress which is calculated in the Corrugated Steel Plate Lining by the seismic load is decreased as the backfill height increases and the cut slope grows gentle. Also, the moment shows the tendency of decrease according to the increase of the backfill height. But in the case of the relative density of the backfill soil is small, the moment increases according to the increase of the backfill height and affects the dynamic behaviour characteristic. So it is considered that the relative density of the backfill soil is also the important point. As the result in analyzing the seismic response characteristics of the reinforcement spacing of the Corrugated Steel Plate, the variation in the compressive force is hardly happened, but the moment and the shear force increase on the reinforcement spacing being narrow.

The suspension arrangement of insulators provides flexibility and assists in power transmission in transmission lines. The performance of the insulator string is strongly influenced by the environmental conditions to which it is exposed, its shape and the inherent material properties of suspension-type insulators. The suspension-type insulators are mostly made from glass, porcelain and ceramic material due to their high resistivity. Irregularity in charge distribution throughout the porcelain insulator may lead to accelerated aging and electrical breakdown. A very high and steep lightning impulse voltage may also cause breakdown of suspension-type insulators. We investigated various material characteristics such as alumina addition, surface morphology, x-ray diffraction pattern and relative density of suspension porcelain insulators manufactured in 1989 (36,000 lbs.), 1995 (36,000 lbs.) and 2001 (36,000 lbs.) by the KRI Company for use in 154 kV high power transmission lines. We compared the material characteristics of these porcelain insulators with that of the top-of-the-line porcelain insulators (36,000 lbs.) manufactured by the NGK Company in 2000. These suspension-type porcelain insulators were exposed to arc and flashover tests to examine their electrical and mechanical strength. It was noted that alumina addition (17 wt.%) for K-2001 was one of the major contributors to the enhancement of the performance of the porcelain insulators and to their ability to withstand very high current generation during the arc test. The porcelain insulators manufactured during 2001 also showed the highest relative density of 95.8% as compared to the other insulators manufactured in 1989 and 1995 respectively 94.2% and 91.5%. We also discuss reports of various failure modes of suspension-type porcelain insulators.
