We would like to show a measuring technique of azimuthal anchoring energy of the nematic liquid crystals. The electro-optical setup of liquid crystal cell, crossed polarizers and magnetic field was assumed. The planar or hybrid alignment cells were prepared. The director in the light entering substrate and the polarization of light was adjusted into parallel to the magnetic field. The director orientation of exit substrate and analyser maintained perpendicular to the magnetic field. As the magnetic field strength is increased, the director deviates from the easy axis and rotates to the field direction. We obtained an equation calculating the change of transmission with the field and measured experimentally the transmission. By comparing the calculating and experimental data, we obtained the azimuthal anchoring strength.

We have investigated the relationship between the polar anchoring energy and the surface order parameter in nematic liquid crystal (NLC), 4-n-pentyl-4-cyanobiphenyl (5CB), on the two kinds of the weakly rubbed polyimide (PI) surfaces. The observed polar anchoring energy of 5CB is approximately 2${\times}10^{-4}(J/m^2$) and then increases with increasing the rubbing strength (RS) on weakly rubbed surface (RS=57mm) with side chain at $30^{\circ}C$; same results are obtained on weakly rubbed PI surface without side chain. The surface order parameter of 5CB on rubbed PI surfaces increases with increasing the RS at a weak rubbing region. The surface order parameter of 5CB is strongly related to the characteristics of PI material. Consequently, we suggest that the polar anchoring energy of NLC is strongly attributed to the surface order parameter on rubbed PI surfaces.

Strengthening with externally post-tensioned CFRP strips is more effective in increasing load carrying capacity of existing structures as well as reducing crack width and deflection. This study developed concrete embedded anchorages system for externally post-tensioned CFRP strips, and carried out experimental study to verify anchoring performance quantitatively. Through experimental results, anchoring strength of concrete embedded anchorage were quantified into shear strength of anchor bolt, bearing strength of concrete at the front of anchor plate and bond strength between anchor plate and concrete surface. In addition, overall anchoring performances according to combination of each unit force are examined in this study.

Anchoring systems with structural stability and endurance have been one of the most important elements for PSC structures, especially for the structures using non-corrosive FRP tendons. FRP tendons are in increasing use for underground and coastal structures constantly contacted with fresh water or sea water because of their superiority to metallic ones in corrosion-resistance. In this study new non-metallic anchoring system for FRP tendons has been tested and investigated. The newly developed anchoring system utilizes FRP pipes and HEM (Highly Expansive Mortar). The major factors considered in this experiment were expansive pressure of HEM during its hydration and the strength of GFRP(Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic) Pipe. Anchoring forces of the new anchoring system were investigated from the pull-out testes. The authors analyzed pull-out procedures of the FRP tendons in the various pipe filled with HEM and suggested an improved idea to develop novel non-metallic anchoring system for FRP tendons

Evaluating methods of the polar and/or azimuthal anchoring strength coefficients by means of the renormalized transmission spectroscopic ellipsometry are demonstrated. The Anchoring strength coefficients can be evaluated from the measurement of ellipsometric parameters measured by the oblique incident transmission ellipsometry, where the effect of multiplebeam interference is eliminated. The device parameters such as the pretilt angle and cell gap can be determined simultaneously even in the case of the twisted nematic liquid crystal sample cells.

We propose a novel technique for evaluating the azimuthal anchoring strength of the alignment film on the nematic liquid crystal (LC). In our evaluation, a unique cell, which has two domain in one cell, was used; one is hybrid aligned nematic (HAN) region, the other is twsited nematic (TN) region (viz. HAN/TN two domain cell). From the comparison of director angles on the front substrate with each region, we are able to determine the angle between easy axis and real director axis on the front substrate. From this evaluation, the azimuthal anchoring strength was obtained accurately.

The liquid crystal (LC) aligning capabilities by the washing processes after rubbing on the two kinds of the rubbed polyimide (Pl) surface were studied. The polar anchoring energy of 4-n-pentyl-4'-cyanobiphenyl (5CB) increased with the rubbing strength RS on the two kinds of the rubbed PI surface. The polar anchoring energy of 5CB on the rubbed PI surface with alkyl side chains is larger than the rubbed PI surface with CONH moiety. Also, the surface ordering of 5CB on the rubbed PI surface with alkyl side chains is larger than the rubbed PI surface with CONH moiety. Therefore, the surface ordering of 5CB strongly depends on the polymers and washing process.

We have investigated the effect of molecular structure of polymer of rubbed polyimide (PI) films for surface liquid crystal alignment. To obtain surface alignment effect of Polymer molecular structure, we measured the polar (out of plane-tilt) anchoring strength and surface ordering of 5CB on rubbed PI surfaces. We have found that the polar anchoring strength of 5CB is depend on the polymer molecular structure of these unidirectionally rubbed PI surfaces.

In this study, side-face blowout failure strength of high strength headed reinforcing bar, which is vertically anchoring between RC or SFRC members, is evaluated throughout pullout test. The major test parameters are content ratio of high strength steel fibers, strength of rebar, length of anchorage, presence of shear reinforcement, and the side concrete cover thickness planned to be 1.3 times of the rebar. In pullout test, tensile force was applied to the headed reinforcing bar with the hinged supports positioned 1.5 and 0.7 times the anchorage length on both sides of the headed reinforcing bar. As a result, the cone-shaped crack occurred where the headed reinforcing bar embedded and finally side-face blowout failure caused by bearing pressure of the headed reinforcing bar. The tensile strength of specimens increased by 13.0 ~26.2% with shear reinforcement. The pullout strength of the specimens increased by 3.6 ~15.4% according to steel fiber reinforcement. Increasing the anchoring length and shear reinforcement were evaluated to reduce the stress bearing ration of the total stress.
