Using the principle of the cross capacitor, a precise system for measuring the electric constants of liquids has been developed. The four electrodes of the cross capacitor were formed around fused-silica tube by plating a gold film. The effect of a non-uniform tube wall ok the measured permittivity was investigated As the individual characteristics of the tubes were determined to be constant, the pure dielectric constants extracted from any effect of the fused-silica material could be precisely derived with uncertainty of less than ${\pm}$ 0.02∼0.05 %.

Perforated plates are used for the steam generator tube-sheet and the Reactor Vessel Closure Head in the Nuclear Power Plant. The ASME code, Section III Appendix A-8000, addresses the analysis of perforated plates, however, this analysis is only limited to the flat plate with a triangular perforation pattern. Based on the concept of the effective elastic constants, simulation of flat and spherical perforated plates and their equivalent solid plates were carried out using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The isotropic material properties of the perforated plate were replaced with anisotropic material properties of the equivalent solid plate and subjected to the same loading conditions. The generated curves of effective elastic constants vs ligament efficiency for the flat perforated plate were in agreement with the design curve provided by ASME code. With this result, a plate with spherical curvature having perforations can be conveniently analyzed with equivalent elastic modulus and equivalent Poisson's ratio.

The total number of elastic constants of an anisotropic body is 9 and thus it is very difficult to measure these constants experimentally. The number of elastic constants can be reduced if a rock or rock mass is regarded as isotropic or transversely isotropic material. Since only 4 stress-strain relationships can be obtained, it is theoretically impossible to determine all 5 constants from a single uniaxial compression teat. Lekhnitskii overcame this problem by suggesting the fifth equation based on laboratory tests. But his equation is theoretically wrong and does not agree with experimental results. This paper describes the stress-strain relationships and the independent/dependent elastic constants of an anisotropic mass and suggests a testing mothed to determine 5 independent elastic constants for a transversely isotropic rock.

The dielectric constants and dielectric losses of ZrTiO$_4$thin films deposited by DC magnetron reactive sputtering were investigated. The paraelectric properties were measured in the 100kHz range. As the deposition temperature increased (up to 67$0^{\circ}C$), the dielectric losses (tan$\delta$) decreased (down to 0.017$\pm$0.007), while the dielectric constants ($\varepsilon$) were in the range of 35$\pm$7. Post annealing at 80$0^{\circ}C$ in oxygen for 2h reduced tan$\delta$ down to 0.005$\pm$0.001, higher than those of well-sintered bulk ZrTiO$_4$.

This study aims to measure the reflection loss and the material constants of the fabricated samples for electromagnectic wave absorber precisely and easily by using 20mm$\Phi$coaxial tube with the end-short-type. The authors have estabilished the extraction algorithm of material constants by one port method and proved that the results of the experiments coincided with the calculated ones. On the basis of the above results the validity of the proposed measuring method is confirmed. This measurement method could be used effectively for the design of microwave absorbe and for its evaluation.

Low Temperature Cofired Ceramics (LTCC) technology is a promising technology to integrate many devices in a module by embedding passive components. For the module substrate, most LTCC structures have dielectric constants below 10 to reduce signal delay time. Some components, which need high dielectric constants, have not been yet embedded in LTCC module. So, embedding capacitor with high capacitance by applying another dielectrics with high dielectric constants in LTCC is an important issue to maximize circuit density in LTCC module. In this study, electrical properties of embedded capacitor fabricated by dielectric paste of high dielectric constants (K-100) and co-firing behavior with LTCC were investigated. To prevent camber development of co-fired structure, constrained sintering process was tested. Dielectric properties of embedded capacitors were calculated from their capacitance and impedance value. Temperature coefficient of capacitance were also measured.

In this paper, all the materials constants of the PMN-32%PT single crystals grown by the solid state crystal growth method were measured by the resonance method. PMN-PT crystals of tetragonal symmetry have six elastic constants, three piezoelectric constants and two dielectric constants for their independent material constants. These materials constants were extracted from six sets of crystal samples of each different geometry to have different vibration modes respectively. Measured results showed that the crystal has larger electromechanical coupling factor k/sub 33/ (∼86%) and piezoelectric constant d/sub 33/ (∼1200pC/N) than conventional piezoceramics. Validity of the measurement was confirmed through comparison of the results with the impedance spectrum from finite element analysis of the samples and the results measured with a commercial do meter.

High temperature dielectric constants of the various ceramic materials have been measured using cavity perturbation method. The measurements were applied to refractory, traditional and fine ceramic powder compacts from room temperature to $1200^{\circ}C$. Calibration constant in the equation suggested by Hutcheon et al., was determined from the dielectric constants of reference specimen (teflon and alumina) at room temperature. From these results, informations on the refectory materials were obtained for the microwave kiln design and understanding of the microwave heating effects of ceramics have been improved.

An ultrasonic resonance scattering spectroscopy technique is developed and applied for reconstructing elastic constants of a transversely isotropic cylindrical component. Immersion ultrasonic measurements are performed on tube samples made from a boron/aluminum composite material to obtain resonance frequencies and dispersion curves of different guided wave modes propagating in the tube. Theoretical analysis on the acoustic resonance scattering from a transversely isotropic cylindrical tube is also performed, from which complete backscattering and resonance scattering spectra and theoretical dispersion curves are calculated. A sensitive change of the dispersion curves to the elastic properties of the composite tube is observed for both normal and oblique incidences; this is exploited for a systematic evaluation of damage and elastic constants of the composite tube samples. The elastic constants of two boron/aluminum composite tube samples manufactured under different conditions are reconstructed through an optimization procedure in which the residual between the experimental and theoretical phase velocities (dispersion curves) is minimized.

The purpose of this paper is to provide the experimenters who use the oblique incidence ultrasonic method for anisotropic elastic constants measurement eith some useful relations. In particular, the equivalence of the times of flight by the energy ad phase velocities, which is key to the oblique incidence method, is proved explicitly. This equivalence greatly simplifies the analysis of immersion measurement results. In oredr to correctly measure the transit time of an immersed sample using the oblique incidence, the receiving transducer should be shifted laterally, and an expression in given for this shift. A method for determining all nine elastic constants of an orthotropic material is briefly described and the measurement results are listed for SiC particulate reinforced A1 matrix composites.
