This paper presents a two-stage electrohydraulic servovalve with a nozzle-flapper pilot stage, which is controlled by stack-type piezoelectric elements. The flapper moving mechanism developed in this research can compensate for the hysteresis problem and thermal expansion of the piezoelectric elements. The experimental result shows that this flapper moving mechanism has the frequency response of about 600 Hz. And a simplified servovalve system using this flapper moving mechanism has the frequency response of about 300 Hz at the supply pressure of 210 bar.

The piping system of a power plant suffers not only thermal expansion according to the temperature variation, but also many kinds of load: steady state vibrations due to the equipment operation or fluid flow, and transient vibrations due to the earthquake or explosion, etc. The snubbers are usually installed on the piping system to allow thermal expansion, and to reduce dynamic responses. Most snubbers are kinds of hydraulic and mechanical type, which can be degraded by leakage and abrasion, and required much cost for maintenance and replacement. Recently the wire rope type snubbers are developed and applied to the power plant, and proved as effective to reduce piping system vibration. Wire rope type snubber uses the bending rigidity and energy dissipation properties of ropes. This paper presents the procedure of design, and the method to apply hysteresis curve to the dynamic response analysis. Experiments were also conducted to confirm design results.

The characteristics of $Al_2TiO_5$ ceramics were influenced by the additives and the heat treatment that controls the microcrack behavior at grain boundaries. The effect of additives on $Al_2TiO_5$ ceramics were investigated in terms of mechanical properties and thermal expansion at high temperature. The $Al_2TiO_5$ were synthesized at $1500^{\circ}C$, $1550^{\circ}C$ and $1600^{\circ}C$ for 2h by reaction sintering. The formation of $Al_2TiO_5$ phase was increased by additives that enhanced the volume of the microcrack that can lead to low thermal expansion. The mechanical properties of the stabilized $Al_2TiO_5$ ceramics were increased remarkably at $1100^{\circ}C$, $1200^{\circ}C$ and $1300^{\circ}C$ due to the oneset of mechanical healing of grain-bondary microcracks at a high temperature. The amount of microcrack was decreased at lower sintering temperature that causes the increase of mechanical properties at high temperature.

Submicrometer, monosized ceramic powder of $Al_2TiO_5$$Al_2O_3$ ethanolic solutions. All particles produced by sol-gel-process were amprphous, monodispersed and with a narrow particle-size distribution. Compacts fired above $1300^{\circ}C$ formed aluminium titanate. Mullite formed first at $1480^{\circ}C$. After decomposition test at $1100^{\circ}C$, and cyclic thermal decomposition test at 750-1400-$750^{\circ}C$ for 100hrs., aluminium titanate was well stablized by composition with mullite.

The role of the strain energy and phase stability in the diffuse phase transition have been investigated in the highly disordered solid solution, (Pb1-xBax)(Zr0.4Ti0.6)O3 (0.2 x 0.4). X-ray diffraction analysis indicates that tetragonality (c/a) decreases with the increasing Ba content. Also as the Ba content increases, phase transition becomes more diffuse and at the same time dielectric relaxation as a function of measured frequencies in the 1KHz-10MHz range occurs very pronouncedly. In the Ba content range, 0.2 x 0.35, hysteresis loops are routinely observed and the loop is observed to narrow shape as the Ba content increases but becomes very slim at 40mol% Ba content. Moreover thermal analysis shows that there is no abrupt change in the thermal expansion coefficient below the apparent transition temperature at which dielectric constant becomes maximum. From the above results, it has been concluded that creation of the strain energy due to the distorthion that occurred during the phase transition suppresses diffuse phase transition.

$K_2CoCl_4$, single crystals were grown by the Czochralski method in Ar atmosphere. The thermal hysteresis of the dielectric constant at $T_c$ was investigated. $K_2CoCl_4$ crystal shows ionic hopping mechanism due to $K^+$ ion and the activation energy is nearly 0.62 eV. Thermal expansions along a-, b-, and c-axis of $K_2CoCl_4$, were measured on heating and the thermal expansion coefficients in each phase were calculated. From the result of the optical absorption measurement, we interpreted the absorption peak as transition energy between the splitted energy levels of the Co ion in the crystal field and it showed the possibility of the application to the optical band filter between 800 nm and 1200 nm.

Surface morphology and adsorption characteristics of black and white charcoals prepared from Korean traditional kiln were quantitatively analyzed. TGA and elemental analysis of charcoals were different from produced kiln, and thermal degradation temperature and carbon content of white charcoals were apparently higher than those of black charcoals. Surface morphology shows the activation progressed through the longitudinal direction of woods and new micropores were developed to radial direction on the surface of macropores as the furthermore activation resulting in the pore connection. BET adsorption isotherms show that there are low-pressure hysteresis due to the no desorption of adsorbates, which resulted in unique Type of charcoals overlapping Type I and Type IV. Such a low-pressure hysteresis is occurred from expansion of adsorbates, which were embedded in the micropore entrances and did not get out during the desorption run. The characteristics of charcoals such as specific surface area and pore size distribution did not show correct values depending on not only produced company but also sampling sites of one piece of charcoal. Therefore, it is not easy to suggest the quantitative characteristics of charcoals prepared from Korean traditional kiln. On the other hand, preparation the quality standard of charcoal is necessary for their special uses such as adsorbent.

In this research, we investigate the properties of membrane and thin film sensor which is using magnetic resonance properties. we expect to $Si_xN_y$ and SiC materials as membrane materials, we measured thin film stress and properties to find the best membrane fabrication condition. Of the two membrane, $Si_xN_y$ thin film is the better than SiC thin film. because of an adequate tensile stress and lower thermal expansion coefficient as sensor structure layer. After performing deposition and patterning thin film sensor material on $Si_xN_y$, we analyzed the magnetic hysteresis and magnetic resonance frequency of sensor. If the magnetic field which is applied in sensor material is removed, magnetization made by magnetic field is transited to elastic mode. moreover. energy radiation is induced during the transition and voltage generates in sensor by energy radiation. At this moment, If voltage generation period is longer, mechanical vibration is induced and signal is generated by mechanical vibration. we also see that as the increase of thin film sensor' length and width, magnetic resonance frequency is decreased.
