In the cold forging, elastic deformation of the die has been investigated to improve the accuracy of cold forged parts with F.E.M analysis using DEFORM, and with experiments using strain gauges. In the experiments, initial billet was selected to easily find the effect of elastic deformation according to the forging modes, extrusion and upsetting type, and only extrusion type. Elastic deformation of the die can be obtained by the signal from the strain gauges and this signal can be amplified by data acquisition system during the process. In the F.E.M analysis, two types of analysis are used to predict elastic strain of the die. To improve an accuracy of forged product and die dimension, this study compared with strain distribution between experiment and F.E.M analysis. As a result, the history of the deformation of the die and elastic recovery of forged product can be obtained by the elastic strain analysis of forged product and die according to the forging modes.

In this paper, the properties of strain sensors made of spin-capable multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were characterized and their sensing mechanisms analyzed. The key contribution of this paper is a new fabrication technique that introduces a simpler transfer method compared to spin-coating or dispersion CNT. Resistance of the MWCNT sheet strain sensor increased linearly with higher strain. To investigate the effect of CNT concentration on sensitivity, two strain sensors with different layer numbers of MWCNT sheets (one and three layers) were fabricated. According to the results, the sensor with a three-layer sheet showed higher sensitivity than that with one layer. In addition, experiments were conducted to examine the effects of environmental factors, temperature, and gas on sensor sensitivity. An increase in temperature resulted in a reduction in sensor sensitivity. It was also observed that ambient gas influenced the properties of the MWCNT sheet due to charge transfer. Experimental results showed that there was a linear change in resistance in response to strain, and the resistance of the sensor fully recovered to its unstressed state and exhibited stable electromechanical properties.

The through-thickness variations of strain and microstructure of high-speed hot rolled 1050 pure aluminum sheet were investigated. The specimens of 1050 aluminum were rolled at temperatures ranging from 410 to $560^{\circ}C$ at a rolling speed of 15 m/s without lubrication and quenched in water at an interval of 30ms after rolling. The redundant shear strain induced by high friction between rolls and the aluminum sheet was increased largely beneath the surface at a rolling reduction above 50%. Recrystallization occurred in the surface regions of the specimen rolled to reduction of 65% at $510^{\circ}C$, while only recovery occurred in the other regions.

Numerous experimental investigations on metallic materials and solid polymers have shown that relaxation behavior is nonlinearly dependent on prior strain rate. The stress drops in a constant time interval nonlinearly increase with an increase of prior strain rate. And the relaxed stress associated with the fastest prior strain rate has the smallest stress magnitude at the end of relaxation periods. This paper deals with the performance of three classes of unified constitutive models in predicting the characteristic behaviors of relaxation. The three classes of models are categorized by a rate sensitivity of kinematic hardening rule. The first class uses rate-independent kinematic hardening rule that includes the competing effect of strain hardening and dynamic recovery. In the second class, a stress rate term is incorporated into the rate-independent kinematic hardening rule. The final one uses a rate-dependent format of kinematic hardening rule.

The elastic deflections of the cold forging die influence the dimensional accuracy of forged parts. The die dimension is continuously changed during the loading, unloading, and ejecting stage. In this paper, we evaluated the elastic deflections of cold forging die during the loading, unloding and ejecting stage with experimental and FEM analysis. Uni-axial strain gages are used to measure elastic strain of die during each forging stage. Strain gages are attached un the upper surface of die. A commercial F.E.M. code, DEFORM$-2D^{TM}$ is used to predict the elastic strains of die, to be compared those by experiments. Two modelling approaches are used to define the reasonable analysis method. The first of the two modelling approaches is to regard the die as rigid body over forging cycle. And then, the die stress is analyzed by loading the die with pressure from the deformed part. The other is to regard the die as elastic body from forging cycle. The elastic strain of tool is calculated and the tool is elastically deformed at each strep. The calculated results under the elastic die assumption are well agreed wish experimental data using the strain gages.

For the mass production of DFAIII and for the development of techniques of separation and purification of it, the methods of production of DFAIII and its recovery was investigated by fermentation with the strain of Arthrobacter ureafaciens KCTC 3387 and by enzyme reaction. In the first method, DFAIII was produced by fermentation with the strain of Arthrobacter ureafaciens KCTC 3387 and recovered from culture supernatant with silica gel gy filtration, in the second method, it was produced by enzyme reaction and recoverd with the same method of the first, and in third method it was produced by fermentation and recovered by addition of ethanol to the culture supernatnat.Against 25g/L of initial concentration of inulin, 1.57, 4.40, 0.34 g/L of powder of DFAIII was recovered respectively and the rate of recovery was 6.3, 17.6 1.4% and the purity was estimated at 81, 97, 87% respectively. For the production of DFAIII and its recovery, enzyme reaction method was the highest in the rate of recovery and its purity. By fermentation method, DFAIII was produced with 50% fo initial concentration of substrate but th rate of recovery was lower than enzyme reaction method and purity was lowest among the three methods. Ethanol pricipitation method showed the lowest rate of recovery.

We propose an accurate and efficient estimation method of transverse shear stresses for analysis and design of laminated composite structures by 4-node quadrilateral degenerated shell elements. To get proper distributions of transverse shear stresses in each layer, we use 3-dimensional equilibrium equations instead of constitutive equations with shear correction factors which vary diversely according to the shapes of shell sections. Three dimensional equilibrium equations are integrated through the thickness direction with complete polynomial membrane stress fields, which are recovered by REP (Recovery by Equilibrium in Patches) recovery method. The 4-node quadrilateral degenerated shell element used in this paper has drilling degrees of freedom and shear stresses derived from assumed strain fields that are set up at natural coordinate systems. The numerical results demonstrate that the proposed estimation method attains reasonable accuracy and efficiency compared with other methods and FE analysis using 4-node degenerated shell elements.

Aspergillus oryzae U1521, which was a genetically engineered strain, produced 1,000,600 U per g . glucose of extracellular alkaline protease within 72 h in a submerged fermentation. However, the alkaline protease was not detected during the first 24 h. Northern blot analysis indicated that the enzyme synthesis was repressed at the transcriptional level during the lag period. Both catabolite repression and pH of the growth medium significantly affected the enzyme production. Use of this enzyme as a silver recovery agent from used X-ray film was confirmed by experiments in the shake-flask scale.

Isothermal cyclic stress-strain deformation and thermomechanical deformation (TMD) of 429EM stainless steel were analyzed using a rheological model employing a bi-linear model. The proposed model was composed of three parameters: elastic modulus, yield stress and tangent modulus. Monotonic stress-strain curves at various temperatures were used to construct the model. The yield stress in the model was nearly same as 0.2% offset yield stress. Hardening relation factor, m, was proposed to relate cyclic hardening to kinematic hardening. Isothermal cyclic stress-strain deformation could be described well by the proposed model. The model was extended to describe TMD. The results revealed that the hi-linear thermomechanical model overestimates the experimental data under both in-phase and out-of-phase conditions in the temperature range of $350-500^{\circ}C$ and it was due to the enhanced dynamic recovery effect.
