Growth of cubic SiC has been carried out on oxided Si substrate using atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD). Hexamethyldisilane (HMDS) was used as the single precursor and nonflammable mixture of Ar and $H_2$ was used as carrier gas. Epitaxial growth had performed depositions under the various $H_2$ conditions which were adjusted from 0 to 100 seem. The effects of $H_2$ was characterized by surface roughness, thickness uniformity, films quality and elastic modulus. Thickness uniformity and films quality were performed by SEM. Surface roughness and elastic modulus were investigated by AFM and Nano-indentor, respectively. According to the $H_2$ flow rate, Poly 3C-SiC thin film quality was improved not only physical but also mechanical properties.

Greenhouses have been damaged due to the uplift pressure from strong wind, for which rebar piles are often installed near the greenhouse to resist the pressure. For the effective design of rebar piles, it is necessary to access the shear strength of soil on which the greenhouse is constructed. This study experimentally evaluates the shear strength of the soil beneath the greenhouse. Four soil samples were collected from four agricultural sites, and prepared for testing with 75, 80, 85, and 90% compaction rates. One-dimensional unconfined compression test (UC), consolidated-undrained triaxial test (CU), and resonant column test (RC) were performed for the evaluation of shear strength and shear modulus. Generally, the higher shear strength and modulus were observed with the higher compaction rates. In particular, the UC shear strength increases with the increase of #200 sieve passing rate. Resulting from the CU test, the sample with the most of coarse soil had the highest friction angle, but the variation is small among samples. Resulting from the CU and RC tests, the ratio of maximum shear modulus with the major principle stress at failure was the higher at the finer soil. The ratio was two to three times greater than the ratio from the standard sand. This indicates that the shear strength is lower for the fine soil than the coarse soil at the same shear modulus. The results of this study will be a useful resource for the estimation of the pull-out strength of the rebar pile against the uplift pressure.

Quartz crystal oscillator is frequently used in measuring a very small amount of mass attached to or adsorbed on the surface of an electrode on the quartz plate. The physical principle is that the resonance frequency of the shear vibration of the quartz caused by an applied electric field is a function of the mass. Recently, effort has been tried to measure physical properties of viscoelastic fluids, such as viscosity and shear modulus. This paper presents useful formula that can be used in estimating the properties of viscoelastic fluids. Important finding in this analysis is that the formula can produce multiple values for the physical properties of the viscoelastic materials.

We investigate the structure and properties of SiC (Silicon Carbide) nanotubes using molecular dynamics simulation based on the Tersoff bond-order potential. For small diameter tubes, the Si-C bond distance of SiC nanotubes decreases as the nanotube diameter is decreased, due to curvature of the nanotube surface. We find that Young's modulus of SiC nanotubes is somewhat smaller than that of the other nanotubes considered so far. However, Young's modulus for SiC nanotubes is larger than that of ${\beta}$-SiC and almost equal to the experimental value for SiC nanorod and SiC whisker. The strain energy of the SiC nanotubes is also lower than that of the other nanotubes. The lower strain energy of SiC nanotubes raises the possibility of synthesis of SiC nanotubes.

This paper describes the mechanical characteristics of poly 3C-SiC thin films grown on Si wafers with thermal oxide. In this work, the poly 3C-SiC thin film was deposited by APCVD method using only Ar carrier gas and single precursor HMDS at $1100^{\circ}C$. The elastic modulus and hardness of poly 3C-SiC thin films were measured using nanoindentation. Also, the roughness of surface was investigated by AFM. The resulting values of elastic modulus E, hardness H and the roughness of the poly 3C-SiC film are 305 GPa, 26 GPa and 49.35 nm respectively. The mechanical properties of the grown poly 3C-SiC film are better than bulk Si wafers. Therefore, the poly 3C-SiC thin film is suitable for abrasion, high frequency and MEMS applications.

The nanomechanical properties of fully lithiated and unlithiated silicon nanowire deposited on silicon substrate have been studied with atomic force microscopy. Silicon nanowires were synthesized using the vapor-liquid-solid process on stainless steel substrates using Au catalyst. Fully lithiated silicon nanowires were obtained by using the electrochemical method, followed by drop-casting on the silicon substrate. The roughness, derived from a line profile of the surface measured in contact mode atomic force microscopy, has a smaller value for lithiated silicon nanowire and a higher value for unlithiated silicon nanowire. Force spectroscopy was utilitzed to study the influence of lithiation on the tip-surface adhesion force. Lithiated silicon nanowire revealed a smaller value than that of the Si nanowire substrate by a factor of two, while the adhesion force of the silicon nanowire is similar to that of the silicon substrate. The Young's modulus obtained from the force-distance curve, also shows that the unlithiated silicon nanowire has a relatively higher value than lithiated silicon nanowire due to the elastically soft amorphous structures. The frictional forces acting on the tip sliding on the surface of lithiated and unlithiated silicon nanowire were obtained within the range of 0.5-4.0 Hz and 0.01-200 nN for velocity and load dependency, respectively. We explain the trend of adhesion and modulus in light of the materials properties of silicon and lithiated silicon. The results suggest a useful method for chemical identification of the lithiated region during the charging and discharging process.

In this study, an innovative and smart glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) hybrid bar was developed for stronger durability of concrete structures. As comparing with the conventional GFRP bar, the smart GFRP Hybrid bar can promise to enhance the modulus of elasticity so that it makes the cracking reduced than the case when the conventional GFRP bar is used. Besides, the GFRP Hybrid bar can effectively resist the corrosion of conventional steel bar by the GFRP outer surface on the steel bar. In order to verify the bond performance of the GFRP hybrid bar for structural reinforcement, uniaxial pull-out test was conducted. The variables were the bar diameter and the number of strands and pitch of the fiber ribs. Tensile tests showed a excellent increase in the modulus of elasticity, 152.1 GPa, as compared to that of the pure GFRP bar (50 GPa). The stress-strain curve was bi-linear, so that the ductile performance could be obtained. For the bond test, the entire GFRP hybrid bar test specimens failed in concrete splitting due to higher shear strength resulting in concrete crushing as a function of bar deformation. Investigation revealed that an increase in the number of strands of fiber ribs enhanced the bond strength, and the pitch guaranteed the bond strength of 19.1 mm diameter hybrid bar with 15.9 mm diameter of core section of deformed steel the ACI 440 1R-15 equation is regarded as more suitable for predicting the bond strength of GFRP hybrid bars, whereas the CSA S806-12 prediction is considered too conservative and is largely influenced by the bar diameter. For further study, various geometrical and material properties such as concrete cover, cross-sectional ratio, and surface treatment should be considered.

Seismic safety analysis of rockfill dams are consist of the stability analysis as an simplifed method and the dynamic analysis as an detailed method. When high risk dams such as Multi-purpose dams were often applied detailed method by dynamic analysis, dynamic properties of dam materials such as shear modulus are considered as most important factor. Dynamic material properties such as shear modulus had to be investigated by cyclic triaxial test et al. during design and construction stage but these were not conducted because of the condition of domestic seismic design technique. MASW and SASW methods had been applied as a non destructive method to investigate dynamic material properties of existing rockfill dam, has no problems in dam safety at present. These methods were usually performed under the assumptions that the subsurface can be described horizontally homogeneous and isotropic layers. Recent studies(Marwin, 1993, Kim, 2001) showed that surface waves generated through inclined structures have different characteristics from those through a horizontally homogeneous layered model. further Kim et al(2005) and Min and Kim(2006) showed that central core type rockfill dam overestimated the shear wave velocities as increasing the depth through the 3D numerical modelling dut to the effect of outer rockfill and geometrical reasons In this study the results of shear wave velocities of seven rockfill dams form comprehensive facility review, was carried out from 2003 to 2007, were collected and analysed to establish the shear wave velocity distribution characteristics in increasing confining stress in rockfill dams and surface wave velocity ranges in rockfill dam through MASW and the limitation in application are discussed to be utilized as an reference value for dynamic analysis.

3C-SiC thin films are widely used in extreme environments, radio frequency (RF) environments, and bio-materials for micro/nano electronic mechanical systems (M/NEMS). The mechanical properties of 3C-SiC thin films need to be considered when designing M/NEMS, so Young's Modulus and the hardness need to be accurately measured. Young's Modulus and the hardness are influenced by N-doping. In this paper, we show that the mechanical properties of poly (polycrystalline) 3C-SiC thin films are influenced by the N-doping concentration. Furthermore, we measure the mechanical properties of 3C-SiC thin films for N-doping concentrations of 1%, 3%, and 5%, by using nanoindentation. For films deposited using a 1% N-doping concentration, Young's Modulus and the hardness were measured as 270 GPa and 30 GPa, respectively. When the surface roughness of the thin films was investigated by using atomic force microscopy (AFM), the roughness of the 5% N-doped 3C-SiC thin film was the lowest of all the films, at 15 nm.
