Low-dislocation-density large-diameter GaAs single crystals with low-residual-strain have been strongly required. We have developed dislocation-free 3-inch Si doped GaAs crystals for photonic devices, and low-dislocation-density low-residual-strain 4-inch to 6-inch semi-insulating GaAs crystals for electronic devices by Vertical Bridgman(VB) technique. We confirmed that VB substrates with low-residual-strain have higher resistance against slip-line generation during MBE process. VB-GaAs single crystals show uniform radial profile of resistivity reflecting to the flat solid-liquid interface during the crystal growth. Uniformity of micro-resistivity of VB-GaAs substrate is much better than of the LEC-GaAs substrate, which is due to the low-dislocation-density of VB-GaAs single crystals.

In this study, the nano-deformation behavior of semi-solid Al-Si alloy was investigated using a molecular dynamics simulation as a part of the research on the surface crack behavior in thixoformed automobile parts. The microstructure of the grain-size controlled Al-Si alloy consists of primary and eutectic regions. In eutectic regions the crack initiation begins with initial fracture of the eutectic silicon particles and inside other intermetallic phases. Nano-deformation characteristics in the eutectic and primary phase of the grain-size controlled Al-Si alloy were investigated through the molecular dynamics simulation. The primary phase was assumed to be single crystal aluminum. It was shown that the vacancy occurred at the zone where silicon molecules were.

Rotor in small-medium induction motor has been usually manufactured by aluminum diecasting. In order to improve efficiency of induction motors, however, it is desirable that pure aluminum is replaced by high electrical conductivity copper alloy. For this purpose, a rotor is thixoformed with Cu-Ca alloy. Thermomechanical processing(TMP) is carried out to modify the semi-solid microstructure of the alloy and final microstructures and filling defects of thixoformed Cu- rotors are investigated. The characteristics of thixoformed Cu-rotor such as motor efficiency and torque are compared with those of Al rotor.

This paper deals with an experimental study on the initial condition of liquid film surface waves disintegration and investigation on the behavior of liquid film surface waves formed by the high speed air flow on the solid plane surface. The authors conducted the qualitative and quantitative study to in vestigate the liquid film flow phenomena, the liquid film disintegration mechanism, and droplet formation process with breaking the liquid film surface wave. The newly devised transparent rectangular test section which has semi-two-dimensional flow at the center of the bottom was introduced to perform the experimental study, and it can generate the uniform thickness liquid film at the bottom. The strobo streak camera was used to obtain the instantaneously transformed photographs. The electronic measuring device was also used to measure the liquid film thickness variation in order to perform the easy and effective analysis of complex flow phenomena in the air-water cocurrent flow.

The application of Al parts in passenger car has been increasing for the last decade, which gives many advantages such as better fuel efficiency, driving performance and safety. Control arm is one of the most preferably substituted parts from steel into Al alloys among numerous automotive parts. Currently, both wrought and cast Al alloys can find the application for control arm in passenger car. The balance between performance and cost determines a material as well as a fabrication process for a particular part model. In the present study, comparison among various processing techniques has been carried out to build up a data base for Al control arm fabrication.

Fused deposition(FD) modeling by Stratasys Inc., is one of the material deposition subfamilies of solid freefrom fabrication(SFF) technologies. In this process, build material in the form of a flexible filament, is heated to a semi-liquid state and extruded from a controlled deposition head onto a fixtureless table in a temperature controlled environment. The position of nozzle is computer controlled relative to the base, which allows geometric complex models to be made to precise dimensions. FDM provide what the part was directly tested by the worker. It provide believable data. This Study is identify to surface roughness by build orientation adjustment. So, the paper is the study on surface roughness by build orientation at FDM.

In this paper, a numerical model to analyze the performance of a vertical slit-type wave absorber is developed under the assumption of inviscid water waves. The formulation combines the linear potential theory with a semi-empirical description of the eddy-shedding at a slit-type wave absorber. We investigated the reflection coefficients over a wide frequency range for a vertical slit-type wave absorber both with and without a solid rear wall. Model test was conducted at KRISO' s two dimensional wave tank to validate the theoretical results. It is found that the agreement between theoretical results and experimental data is surprisingly good. We found that the wave absorbing system using a vertical slit plate has sufficient potentials for breakwaters for ocean development.

An electrorheological fluid (ERF) is typically a suspension of semi-conducting solid particles dispersed in an insulating carrier fluid, and shows a dramatic change in rheological properties when an external electric field is applied. This rapid and reversible change in flow properties has potential application in many electronically controlled mechanical devices, but the development of efficient devices and optimal materials for ERF is still hindered by incomplete understanding of the fundamental physical mechanisms involved. In recent years there have been considerable advances In relating microstructural models to the rheological behaviour, and these will form the basis of this review. Results of the theoretical calculations and simulations will be compared to the key experimental evidence available. An overview of the fundamental physical concepts behind electrorheological fluid behaviour will also be presented.

By virtue of progress of computer science, CAD/CAM technology has been developed greatly in each area. But the problems in the integration of CAD/CAM are not yet solved completely. The reason is that the exchange of data between CAD and CAM is difficult because the domains of design and manufacturing are different in nature. To solve this problem, a feature based modeller is developed in this study, which makes it possible to communicate between design and manufacturing through features. The modeller has feature, the concept of semi-bounded plane is introduced, and implemented as a B-rep sheet model using half-edge data structure. The features are then created on a part by local modification of the boundary on a part based on feature template information. This approach generalizes the modelling of features in a geometry model.

A numerical procedure for contact analysis and calculating subsurface stress was developed. The procedure takes the advantage of signal processing technique in frequency domain to achieve shorter computing time. Boussinesq's equation was adopted as a response function in contact analysis. The validity of this procedure was proved by comparing the numerical results with the exact solutions. The fastness of this procedure was also compared with other algorithm.
