Thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) behavior of heat resistant austenitic stainless steel was evaluated in the temperature range from 100$^{\circ}C$ to peak temperatures of 600 to 800$^{\circ}C$; The fatigue lives under TMF conditions were plotted against the plastic strain range and the dissipated energy per cycle. In the expression of the inelastic strain range versus fatigue life, the TMF data obtained at different temperature ranges were located close to a single line with a small deviation; however, when the dissipated energy per cycle, calculated from the area of the stress-strain hysteresis loops at the half of the fatigue life, was plotted against the fatigue life, the data showed greater scattering than the TMF life against the inelastic strain range. A noticeable stress relaxation in the stress-strain hysteresis curve took place at the peak temperatures higher than 700$^{\circ}C$, but all specimens in this study exhibited cyclic hardening behavior with TMF cycles. Recrystallization occurred during the TMF cycle concurrent with the formation of fine subgrains in the recrystallized region, which is considered to cause the cyclic hardening of the steel.

S $r_{0.9}$/B $i_{2.1}$/T $a_{2}$/ $O_{9}$ solutions was synthesized by MOD (metalorganic decomposition) method. SBT thin films with 2000$\AA$ thickness were prepared on Ir $O_2$/ $SiO_2$/Si and Pt/Ti/ $SiO_2$/Si substrates using the spin coating process and then investigated the dielectric and electrical properties of them. In the case of using Ir $O_2$bottom electrode the hysteresis loop was saturated at lower temperature than Pt/Ti electrode but the breakdown phenomenon was occurred at low voltage because of the rough surface morphology and porous microstructure of SBT thin films. As the results of the fatigue and imprint characteristics related to the lifetime and reliability of devices after 10$^{10}$ cycles the fatigue rates were about 10% at the Ir $O_2$and Pt/Ti bottom electrodes. Both SBT thin films with Ir $O_2$ and with Pt/Ti bottom electrodes show a slight tendency to imprint after 10$^{9}$ cycles but do not lead to a failure.e.e.

PZT thin films(3500 ) have been prepared onto $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ substrates with a RF magnetron sputtering system using PB1.05(Zr0.52,Ti0.48)O3 ceramic target. We used two-step annealing techniques. As the RTA times and temperatures were increased, crystallization of PZT thin films were enhanced. The ferroelectric characteristics of PZT capacitors fabricated at $700^{\circ}C$ for 60 seconds were like these remanent polarization were $12.1 \muC/cm^2$, coercive field were 110 kV/cm, leakage current density were $4.1\times10-7 A/cm^2,\; \varepsilonr=442,$ and remanent polarization were decreased by 22% after 1010 cycles, respectively.

This paper presents the low cycle thermal fatigue of the engine exhaust manifold subject to thermo-mechanical cyclic loading. As a failure of the exhaust manifold is mainly caused by geometric constraints of the less expanded inlet flange and cylinder head, the analysis is based on the exhaust system model with three-dimensional temperature distribution and temperature dependent material properties. The result show that large compressive plastic deformations are generated at an elevated temperature of the exhaust manifold and tensile stresses are remained in several critical zones at a cold condition. From the repetition of these thermal shock cycles, maximum plastic strain range (0.454%) could be estimated by the stabilized stress-strain hysteresis loops. It is used to predict the low cycle thermal fatigue life of the exhaust manifold for the thermal shock test.

The post-annealing treatments on rf magnetron sputtered PZT($Pb_{1.05}(Zr_{0.52},\;Ti_{0.48})O_3$) thin films($4000{\AA}$) have been investigated for a structure of PZT/Pt/Ti/Coming glass(1737). Crystallization properties of PZT films were strongly dependent on RTA(Rapid Thermal Annealing) annealing temperature and time. We were able to obtain a perovskite structure of PZT at $650^{\circ}C$ and 10min. P-E curves of Pd/PZT/Pt capacitor demonstrate typical hysteresis loops. The measured values of $P_r$, $E_c$ were $8.1[{\mu}C/cm^2]$, 95[kV/cm] respectively. Polarization value decrease about 25% after $10^9$ cycles.

Observing the unique stress-strain curves of the superelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) in tension and compression, the primary intention of this study is to investigate the behavior of the shafts made of the same material, under torsional loading-unloading cycles for large angle of twist. Experiments have been performed for the superelastic SMA shafts with different unsupported lengths and angles of twist and the results are compared with those of stainless steel (SUS304) shafts under similar test conditions. As expected for the superelastic SMA, the residual strains are small enough after each cycle and consequently, the hysteresis under loading-reverse loading is much narrower than that for the SUS304. For large angle of twists, the torsional strength of the superelastic SMA increases nonlinearly and exceeds that of SUS304. Most interestingly, the slender solid superelastic SMA shafts are found to buckle when acted upon torsion for large angle of twist.

The potential offered by the thermo-mechanical properties of shape memory alloys (SMA) in structural engineering applications has been the topic of many research studies during the last two decades. The main issues concern the long-term predictability of the material behaviour and the fatigue lifetime of the macro structural elements (as different from the one of wire segments). The laboratory tests reported in this paper are carried out on bar specimens and they were planned in order to pursue two objectives. First, the creep phenomenon is investigated for two different alloys, a classical Ni-Ti alloy and a Cu-based alloy. The attention is then focused on the Cu-based alloy only and its fatigue characteristics at given temperatures are investigated. Stress and thermal cycles are alternated to detect any path dependency.

We report the exchange bias in antiferromagnet/ferrimagnet $Cr_2O_3/Fe_3O_4$ core/shell nanoparticles. The magnetic field hysteresis curve for $Cr_2O_3/Fe_3O_4$ nanoparticles after field-cooling (FC) clearly showed both horizontal ($H_{EB}{\sim}$610 Oe) and vertical (${\Delta}M{\sim}$5.6 emu/g) shifts at 5 K. These shifts disappeared as the temperature increased toward the Neel temperature of $Cr_2O_3\;(T_N{\sim}$307 K). The $H_{EB}\;and\;{\Delta}M$ values were sharply decreased between the $1^{st}\;and\;the\;2^{nd}$ magnetic field cycles, and then slowly decreased with further cycling. These results are discussed in terms of the formation of single domains with pinned, uncompensated, antiferromagnetic spin and their evolution into multi-domains with cycling.

Aging characteristics of 0.2PMN-0.8PZT multilayer ceramic actuators (MCA) has been investigated by applying both triangular wave function for unpoled and unipolar wave for poling. P-E hysteresis loops of the MCA had been distorted after about 90 million cycles running in triangular wave function. Effective electromechanical coupling coefficient was calculated in resonant and anti resonant frequencies. And pseudo-piezoelectric constant $d_{33}$ was also estimated from the strain versus electric field characteristics. The crack growth of MCA was clearly observed along to the boundary between electrode and inactive area. That results were thought due to the internal tensile stress came from both actuation of $d_{33}$ mode and motion of Poisson ratio.

VO2 exhibits metal-insulator transition (MIT), of which critical temperature (TC) is about 340 K. There have been many reports that MIT can be induced by UV light as well as heat. Clear mechanism regarding such photo-induced MIT has not been clarified. We have compared the MIT behaviors of VO2 thin film during heating-cooling cycles with and without light. We tried several light sources with different wavelengths (red, blue, and UV). Tc and hysteresis width of the resistance change were influenced by the illumination of the samples. We performed Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) studies, which can reveal the evolution of the local sample work function. In this presentation, we will discuss possible physical origins for the photo-induced effects on the MIT behaviors of the VO2 samples.
