This study was carried out to investigate the effect of cold working on the tensile strength of Fe-26Mn-4Co-2Al damping alloy. ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ and ${\varepsilon}$-martensite were formed by cold working, and martensite was formed with the specific direction and surface relief. With the increasing degree of cold rolling, volume fraction of ${\alpha}^{\prime}$-martensite was increased, whereas the volume fraction of ${\varepsilon}$-martensite was decreased after rising to maximum value at specific lever of cold rolling. Tensile strength was linearly increased with an increasing of degree of cold rolling. Tensile strength was strongly affected to the volume fraction of ${\varepsilon}$-martensite formed by cold working, but the effect of volume fraction of ${\varepsilon}$-martensite on the tensile strength was not observed.

The temperature and soot particle measurement technique in a laminar diffusion flame has been studied to investigate the characteristics of soot particle with temperature using a co-flow burner. The temperature distribution in the flame were measured by rapid insertion of a R-type thermocouple and the soot particles by LEM/LIS techniques. In these measurement, soot volume fraction, number density and soot diameters were analyzed experimentally. As a results, the spacial distributions of particle volume fraction, soot diameter, and number density are mapped throughout the flame using the Rayleigh theory for the scattering of light by particles. A laser extinction method was used to measure the soot volume fraction and laser induced scattering method was used to measure the soot particle diameter and number density. Also, we measured temperature without the effect of soot particles attached to the thermocouple junction, which is close to the nozzle. In this result, we found that upstream zone has a unstable flowing in co-flow diffusion flame and the y-axis temperature of flame has a uniform temperature distribution in the most soot volume fraction zone.

Laser induced incandescence (LII) method is frequently used to measure soot volume fraction in flames. In this study, experiments were performed to measure soot volume fraction in coaxial diffusion flame using LII method and calibrated with laser scattering/extinction method. The effects of laser intensity (>$1{\times}10^8W/cm^2$), laser wavelength (532nm, 1064nm) and detection wavelength (400nm, 600nm) on the LII signal were investigated. On the range of $4{\times}10^8{\sim}8{\times}10^8W/cm^2$ there were no effects of laser intensity on LII signal. Except these ranges, LII signal was increased with laser intensity. For the long gate width, the LII signals of the higher laser intensity (>${\vartheta}(GW/cm^2)$) cases had better correlation with soot volume fraction which were measured by laser extinction method compared with lower laser intensity cases. The errors of 2-dimensional cases at the calibration height were approximately 50% regardless of laser wavelength.

A laser extinction method was used to measure the soot volume fraction and Laser induced scattering method was used to measure the soot particle diameter and number density. Also, we measured temperature without the effect of soot particles attached to the thermocouple junction, which is close to the nozzle. In this result, we found that upstream zone has a unstable flowing in co-flow diffusion flame and the y-axis temperature of flame has a uniform temperature distribution in the most soot volume fraction zone.

This study was investigated the effect of carbon on the micro-structure and hardness of ductile cast iron roll with internal curing capacity. Spheroidal graphite existed at roll body with rapid cooling, but granular graphite existed at roll neck with slow cooling. The volume fraction of graphite increased at roll body with rapid cooling, That of roll neck with slow cooling decreased, but graphite size increased. The volume fraction of cementite decreased, but volume fraction increased. The cementite size was larger at roll neck than roll body. The hardness was decreased at roll body and roll neck due to volume fraction of cementite. The hardness of roll body was higher than roll neck.

This study evaluates the direct tensile strength of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) using tests. A total of 45 dogbone-shaped specimens are tested, with the test variables being the fiber volume fraction and notch length. The test results showed that the material properties of UHPC were largely dependent on the fiber volume fraction and compressive strength. When steel fibers with more than 1% fiber volume fraction are mixed in the manufacturing of UHPC, the tensile strength can be more than twice that of plain UHPC. In addition, the incorporation of steel fibers enabled the significant improvement of the initial cracking strength. However, the effect of the notch length on the tensile behavior was insignificant. An assessment of the direct tensile strength is conducted using machine-learning algorithms (ML). For evaluation of the direct tensile strength of UHPC using ML, a total of 98 test data, including 53 data from other research works and 45 data from this experimental program, were collected. In total, 67 data with a 70% confidence interval on a normal distribution curve were selected, with 47 data among 67 used for ML training and 20 data used for ML testing. As a result, the machine-learning algorithm with a steel fiber volume fraction predicted that the tensile strength has an average of 0.98 and the lowest values of regression evaluation metrics among analytical and ML-based models. It is considered that an ML-based model can help to predict a more accurate tensile strength of UHPC.

Kinds, shapes and fraction ratios of fibers have influence on properties of HPFRCC(High-Performance Fiver Reinforced Cementitious Concrete) like bending strength, strain capacity and fracture toughness. For example, hydrophilic fibers have different chemical bond strength from hydrophobic fibers, fiber shapes influence on fiber pull-out and rupture, and fiber volume fraction influence on bending strength. In this study, to estimate influences of kinds, shapes and fraction ratios of fibers, we make HFRCC with 3 kind of fiber in various volume fraction of fiber and compare cracking, bending strength and fracture toughness. As the results, bending strength of HPFRCC was increased as fiber volume fraction was increase and fiber tensile strength was increase, and strain capacity and fracture toughness of HFRCC was higher in fiber pull-out fracture than in fiber rupture fracture. And HFRCC showing pseudo strain hardening has higher fiber reinforce efficiency than others.

Effects of process parameters during thixocasting, such as solid volume fraction, mold temperature and extrusion ratio, on the mold filling behaviour and fluidity of Mg alloy(AZ91D) have been investigated. The semi-solid ingot held for 60 minutes at the semi-solid temperature range did not contain the equilibrium volume fraction of solid as expected from the phase diagram. Therefore, in order to obtain the desired solid fractions, and to suppress the exaggerated grain growth during heating, it was required to heat the ingot rapidly up to the temperature $10^{\circ}C$ higher than the semi-solid temperature suggested from the phase diagram for a specific volume fraction of solid. The experimental results show that mold filling behaviour and fluidity can be improved with the use of the higher mold temperature and the lower volume fraction of solid, but remain nearly unaffected by the change of extrusion ratio.

It is more appropriate to treat that the semi-solid mixture as a single phase material that obeys incompressibility in the global sense and to analyze the liquid flow only locally than the approach based on compressible yield criteria. In the present study, a numerical algorithm of updating the solid volume fraction based on mixture theory has been developed. Finite element analysis of simple upsetting was carried out using the proposed algorithm to investigate the degree of macro-segregation according to friction conditions and compressive strain rates under the isothermal condition. The simulation results were compared to experimental results available in reference to test the validity of the currently proposed algorithm. Since the comparison results show a good agreement it is construed that the proposed algorithm can contribute to the development of numerical analysis of determining the solid volume fraction semi-solid processing.
