Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:Density of states in the channel bulk area of a-Si:H thin-film transistors (TFTs) was extracted by using low-frequency noise analysis. The drain current noise power spectral density shows 1/f^γ behavior at relatively high frequencies (f > 1 kHz), which is due to the exponential distribution of tail states. For the analysis, the modified number fluctuation model which is correlated with mobility fluctuation was used. From the relationship (γ=1- kT/Et ) between exponent γ and the slope of exponential distribution Et of band tail states, the distribution of the band tail near conduction band was extracted.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:The purpose of this study is to identify and quantify the effect of the mixing features of concrete such as size of coarse aggregate, high strength and steel fiber reinforcement on chloride penetration through micro-cracks. In examining the effect of size of coarse aggregate on chloride penetration through cracks, the cracks should not impact on chloride penetration directly, although small size of coarse aggregate can lead to complicated micro-cracks in concrete. On the contrary, chloride should easily penetrate through micro-cracks concentrated at the surface of coarse aggregates. In examining the effect of high strength concrete on chloride penetration through cracks, high strength concrete has an excellent performance to resist with chloride penetration. If cracks are generated in high strength concrete, however, its performance is reduced up to the level of ordinary concrete.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:The paper is concerned with using experiments and numerical simulations to study the mechanical performance of a Honeycomb Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (HFRP) sandwich panel at different temperatures, especially at low temperatures coupled with cyclic loadings. All physical tests were performed in a temperature controlled room and used a three-point bending setup where the applied load gradually increased from zero to 36kN. Experimental results show that the stiffness of the panel becomes softer at some lower temperatures. In order to eliminate the influence of the initial conditions, an incremental method was introduced to process the experimental results. This method treated all displacements and strains as zero when applying a load of 4.5kN. Furthermore, the change in stiffness of the panel was obtained through the use of a special equivalent stiffness which involved measuring the change of the stiffness of the panel. After comparing different methods, the composite shell method was used to build finite element models for numerical simulations in ABAQUS. Reduction of moduli and Random Mesh Size Method (RMSM) were employed to simulate microcracking between fibers and matrix and debonding between the core and face sheets, respectively.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:Air sparging (AS) is one of the in-situ groundwater remediation techniques for remediating volatile organic compounds (VOCs) contaminated soil, and the knowledge of air flow features is essential in designing air sparging system for soil remediation. The centrifuge modeling technique was employed to simulate the in-situ conditions and to investigate air follow characteristics during air sparging by using glass beads as soils. Several centrifugal modeling tests were performed under various g-levels. According to the test results, the zone of influence (ZOI) during air sparging is in a truncated-cone shape under various g-levels, which can be expressed by the lateral expansion around the air injection point and the cone angle between the vertical axis and the boundary of ZOI. A 2D numerical model is used to model the air movement during air sparging process. The ZOI and the water saturation distribution were obtained. The results agree well with the centrifuge test data, which indicates the two phase flow model is reasonable to simulate the air sparging process. It was also shown that air compressibility and buoyant force have a significant influence on the extent of ZOI and should be adequately considered. Hence centrifuge modeling and numerical simulation can be used as a design tool for in-situ air sparging system.

Optical fiber sensors based on waveguide technology are promising and attractive in chemical, biotechnological, and civil engineering applications. The LPFG-based microfluidic system used to measure the transmission powers of different chloride ion concentration solutions of sea sand and seawater. The results show the relationship between transmitted light intensities and different chloride ion concentration solutions was close to linear. This system could be potentially used to discriminate the different chloride ion concentration solutions.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:This study examined the nanostructure InN compact layer and Au nano particles to dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).We presents the DSSCs with Nitrided indium compact layer (InN-CPL) prepared by radiofrequency magnetron sputtering and doping Au particle in photoelectrode. The InN-CPL effectively reduces the back reaction in the interface between the indium tin oxide (ITO) transparent conductive film and the electrolyte in the DSSC. The Au particles effect conduction band of the TiO2 to rise open-circuit voltage to 0.7 v. The Au particles effectively rise inject electrons efficiency. For the DSSC without InN-CPL, the short-circuit current density and solar energy conversion efficiency are 15.6 mA/cm² and 6.35 %, respectively. However, DSSCs with InN-CPL effectively rise short-circuit current density. The DSSC fabricated on 90 nm InN-CPL and doping Au particle showed the maximum power conversion efficiency of 8.9 % (AM1.5G) due to effective prevention of the electron transfer to electrolyte.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:Objective: This study aimed to investigate fluoride release, flexural strength and surface characteristics of three orthodontic acrylic resins (A) blended with (1) sodium fluoride powder (NaF), (2) calcium fluoride powder (CaF2), and (3) glass ionomer cement powder (GIC). Material & Methods: Acrylic resin was blended with NaF, CaF2 , and GIC to make orthodontic acrylic plates. Each sample group was divided into subgroups at fluoride concentrations 5%, 10% and 20%. The acrylic resin was cured in a round stainless steel mold and kept in a bottle with 10 ml. deionized water then kept in an incubator at 37°C. The deionized water, changed every day, was tested for fluoride release up to six mo by Orion machine. For the flexural strength test, the samples were cured in a stainless steel mold, 64 mm. long, 10 mm. wide and 3.3 mm. high according to standard of ISO 20795-2 and testing was done up to 6 mo in deionized water. Scanning electron microscope determined surface characteristics after being blended. Results: Fluoride release was observed from orthodontic acrylic plates blended with NaF, CaF2 and GIC. The results of the ANaF and the A- CaF2 group decreased fluoride level greatly at day 2, but the A-GIC group was observed at day 7. The A-NaF group and the A-GIC group could not detect fluoride level after mo 4 and 2, respectively. The A-CaF2 group found greater long term fluoride release than the A-NaF and the A-GIC group especially at 20% concentration (up to six mo). Significant differences (p<0.05) of fluoride release level (ppmF) among the A-NaF, A-GIC, and A-CaF2 groups at 5% concentration in every time point from day 1 to the mo 5, but not significant in mo 6 similar to the 10% concentration comparison. Whereas, comparing the 20% concentration among groups, significant differences (p<0.05) were found between groups in all periods of time (from the day 1 to mo 6). When comparing the different concentrations of 5%, 10%, and 20% in each group, significant differences (p<0.05) were found in every concentration at every time period of the A-GIC group from day 1 to mo 2, in the A-CaF2 group from day 1 to mo 6 and in the A-NaF group from day 1 to mo 4. Conclusion: Fluoride release was observed from orthodontic acrylic plates blended with NaF, CaF2 and GIC. The longest duration of fluoride release from orthodontic acrylic plates was found in the CaF 2 group followed by the NaF and GIC groups. The flexural strength in every group decreased over time. This result implied that the flexural strength decreased during fluoride release. The acrylic surface was seen to be porous in every period of the fluoride release process.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:the most common forms of damage mechanisms in water transportation pumps are cavitaion, erosion and corrosion. Type and intensity of failure mechanisms are affected by type of fluent, operation condition, and materials which are used in pump fabrication. Realizing the active mechanisms on failure of booster pump's inner surface was the aim of this investigation. In this study, scanning electron and optical microscopy and image analyses software were used to investigate morphology. Corrosion rate was measured by electrochemical test and water analyses. The results showed that cavitaion was the main mechanism of failure. In addition, scanning electron microscopy images and total hardness of feed water prove the erosion mechanism.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:This study focuses on the method to determine the slip surface in waterfront soil slope analysis under static and seismic conditions. Based on the limiting equilibrium theory and the stress analyzing method, a new method to determine the slip surface is suggested. In the method, the two basic assumptions are considered in order to solve the problem. One is that the slip surface comprises a series of straight lines, and the other is that the interslice boundary is an inclined plane. Three balance equations for any slice are proposed. The iterative method to solve the balance equations is also suggested. In the new method, the slip surface is obtained slice by slice going from downhill to uphill in terms of the balance equations of the slice, not predefined.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:The tunnel construction often encounters the problem of adaptability of sand-gravel formation and earth pressure balance shield (EPBS) construction, which has brought new technical problems and challenges to those who are participating in the construction project. In order to ensure the normal operation of shield construction, the soil must have ideal plasticity and l iquidi ty, and low permeability to intercept groundwater. Therefore, we must adopt the soil improvement techniques ,namely, to inject the modified materials (mud, foam, polymer, etc.) into excavation face and earth pressure tank(if necessary, to the screw conveyor) to ensure the stability of excavation face, achieve EPBS driving, and help to reduce mechanical load, reduce land subsidence, and increase driving speed at the same time. The ground improvement technique is an important part of the EPBS method. The quality of the application of soil improvement technology is very important to maintain the stability of excavation face and the screw dump device's dumping smoothly. It also has a significant impact on the shield machine's functioning safely,economically and efficiently.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:Based on the modal superposition and dynamic programming theory, a method is proposed to identify bidirectional moving forces from orthotropic plate bridge responses in time domain. The bridge deck is modeled as an orthotropic plate and the moving vehicle loads are modeled as two groups of axle loads moving cross the bridge deck in two opposite directions. The equation of motion is formulated in state space and the resulting damped least-square identification problem is solved using the dynamic programming method with regularization on the solution. Some numerical simulations show that the proposed method is effective, accurate and suitable for the bidirectional moving vehicle load identification. Some parameter effects of measurement noise and of eccentricity of moving loads on the identification accuracy are discussed as well.

The ring specimen is subjected to a compressive diametral load and contains two angled central cracks. Numerical modeling in this study is performed. It is shown that the obtained numerical results are in a very good agreement with the experiments. Effect of the crack orientation angle on the failure modes and loading-displace responses is discussed. In the range of 0°∼40°, the fracture paths are curvilinear forms starting from the tip of pre-existing cracks and grow towards the loading points. For the crack orientation angle 90°, vertical fractures will split the specimen and the horizontal cracks do not influence the fracture process.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:The mechanical analysis is applied for the steel box girder bridge with orthotropic plate and pavement by means of Finite Element Method. The interaction between steel bridge and pavement on the long-span steel bridge is evaluated in three calculation stages. The emphasis of the analysis includes the mechanical characteristics and the influential factors of large components(cross diaphragm)and local components (U-shaped ribs).

Our study investigated improving sewage sludge's recyclability by making lightweight bricks from it. The bricks' compressive strength, specific gravity, water absorption and so on were measured to evaluate its characteristics. Its compressive strength ranged from 1.11 MPa to 10.92 MPa (3-class clay brick, the Korean standard, is 10.78 MPa or more). Its highest compressive strength was obtained at the mixing ratio of SS:MBA:BFS:WA = 6:1:1:2, and its range of specific gravity was 0.73-1.02 g/cm³. Heavy metal did not leach from it.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:In order to solve the problem of aeolian sand subgrade compaction, we studied the technology of impact compaction, applied it to the engineering practice and analyzed its effect with Rayleigh wave. The technology of impact compaction can combine the compaction of potential energy and kinetic energy and make it easier for the materials to reach their elastic stage. With the combined function of "knead-roll-impact", the impact compaction road roller can compact the soil body and offer 6∼10 times impact force and 3∼4 times the depth of influence more than the vibratory roller. The impact compaction methods of aeolian sand subgrade were put forward. The comparative field compaction tests between impact and vibratory compaction are carried through, which are detected by Rayleigh wave. The results show that the impact compaction can make the density of the aeolian sand subgrade 2∼5% higher than the vibratory compaction, and reach the influence depth of 7 metres. To sum up, the impact compaction can clearly increases the strength and stiffness of aeolian sand subgrade with a dynamic elastic modulus of 202.63MPa.

In our study, we used a 20 meter length of Photonics crystal fiber (PCF) to generate multiwavelength signals. Variable optical attenuator is employed in the setup to study its effect on the output signals.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:The effects of carbonation age, fly ash content in the binder and the water to binder ratios on the carbonation depth of fly ash concrete is investigated and the micromechanical properties of the hardened paste and the inter facial transition zone is analyzed with the micro-hardness method. The experimental results show that replacing Portland cement in concrete with fly ash increases the carbonation rate at early ages, while the late age carbonation rate is lowered. Micromechanical analysis shows that the carbonation reaction increases the micro-hardness of the paste and the compactness of the ITZ. For the relative low replacement levels, the width of the ITZ is reduced if the concrete is carbonated.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:Single storey industrial plant, civil building and shelters from rain in stadium and gymnasium both have roof system. They are spatial structures. This paper intends to calculate the internal load of a simple truss when external load is applied between truss nodes. Quadrangular pyramids supporting system was also discussed. For the roof trusses, if the node is rigid connection, they can not be simplified as hinges connection. If the node of quadrangular pyramids is rigid connection, the author of this paper speculated that if the supporting bar does not occur bending deflection, the calculation that simplified the rigid connection as hinge connection is approximately right which needs future experimental validation. The buckling analysis of the top chord for roof trusses and the bars in quadrangular pyramids supporting system are both important.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:Seismic response of a high-rise building under rare earthquake is numerically investigated in the paper. The Height of the building is 266m, which goes beyond the limit of 150m in Chinese standard, so nonlinear analysis should be performed to investigate its elasto-plastic behaviors under severe earthquake excitations. In the finite-element model for analysis, beam-column members of the structure are simulated by beam elements, while the core tube is simulated by shell elements. The concrete damage plasticity model is used for concrete members, while the kinematic hardening rule is defined for steel beam-column members. Four sets of earthquake wave, including 3 sets of strong earthquake records and 1 set of artificial wave, are adopted in the analysis. The analysis results show that, under severe earthquakes, steel frame members and steel truss members in the strengthened floors keep elastic. Severe damages are detected in almost all coupling beams in the core tube, as well as shear-walls near strengthened stories, where lateral stiffness would decrease seriously. Through the investigation, it is also found that the largest story drift is less than the maximum allowable value in the Chinese code for seismic design of buildings. So it is concluded that the high-rise building will not collapse when the place is subjected to severe earthquakes. Besides, some design suggestions are proposed according to nonlinear dynamic analysis in the paper.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:The processing and recycling experiments of dust from Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) in industrial conditions aimed at highlighting the minimizing possibility of this waste by transforming it into a by-product that can represent either a secondary raw material for steel making in EAF or to recover iron, zinc and lead (the Waltz process). Electric-arc furnace dust (EAFD) is a by-product of steel production and recycling. This finegrained material contains high amounts of zinc and iron as well as significant amounts of potentially toxic elements such as lead, cadmium and chromium. Therefore, the treatment and stabilization of this industrial residue is necessary. Leaching test is a method of evaluating the impact of waste that is stored (soil, water table).

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:In order to study the characteristic of seismic response of the reinforced slope subjected to earthquake, the seismic response spectrum of slope reinforced with piles under the two different diameters were compared and analyzed. The seismic acceleration response shows a steady amplification with the increase of height without water in substratum, and the maximal seismic response occurs near the crest of slope. The dominant frequency of the amplification of seismic response spectrum of the slope reinforced with piles under the smaller diameter obviously shifts to the medium and low frequency. In addition, because of the liquefaction of substratum and the resulting dynamic failure of the pile, the response components of the medium and low frequency also are strengthened further. The results show that the global stiffness of the reinforced slope is obviously affected by the diameter of the pile and the liquefaction in substratum, which thereby affects the seismic acceleration response and the distribution of spectral amplification factor.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:The steam reforming of toluene as a model compound of biomass gasification tar was carried out over Mg and La oxide-promoted Ni-metal oxide/Al 2O3 catalysts. Catalysts were prepared by two different methods, co- and sequential impregnation. The findings indicate that conversion of gas products was improved with the use of prepared catalysts especially on syn-gas (H2 and CO) species and the highest conversions were obtained at the reaction temperature of 800°C. LHV's of product gas when using catalysts at 800°C were over 4 MJ/m³ and ratios of H2 to CO were between 2.49-2.77. For long term test, Carbon and hydrogen conversion to CO and H2 of the catalysts with respect to time on stream in the steam toluene reforming for 480 min were studied. La2O 32O3 catalyst revealed the highest and stable conversion rate of closely 50% and 70% for CO and H2, respectively. Whisker carbon species and encapsulating carbon were found on used catalysts after reaction. The La2O32O3 catalyst showed lesser amount of whisker carbon and encapsulating carbon.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:The properties of ultrathin films have been studied within the framework of Ising model and the method of random-field interactions. It is shown that the Curie temperature is inversely proportional to the number of layers. Critical exponent ν has been obtained and it is shown that it does not depend on the type of crystalline lattice. As a characteristic, that allows to evaluate the smallness of magnetic objects, one can take the length of the spin-spin correlation ξ. It is used to describe the spin fluctuations near the critical temperature. In the case when the film thickness is less than the correlation length of bulk samples, there appear various size effects. In particular, the decrease of film thickness can lead to a reduction of phase transition temperature: according to measurements on films of iron, nickel and cobalt [1-8], Tc decreases with decreasing of film thickness N (here N is the number of monolayers). The experimentally observed dependence of the Curie temperature on the thickness Tc(N) can be described by the relation introduced in [6-7]: Ε def= Tc(N&rarr∞)-T c(N)/Tc(N&rarr∞)=c0(N-N˜) ^-λ, where Tc(N&rarr∞) def= T ∞ temperature of bulk sample, c0 and N˜ - constants. The argument λ is related to the critical exponent of the spin-spin correlation ν as follows: λ = 1/ν [9]. And, as was shown in [10-12] the constants and argument of the dependency (1) essentially depend on the type and symmetry of the crystal lattice of sprayed film and its substrate. In this paper we assess the influence of film thickness and its crystal structure on the temperature of magnetic phase transition. To solve this problem we use the following model.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:Strong earthquakes (>7.0 Ms) critically change pedosphere, how the changed soils disturb tree root growth related to forest restoration is unclear globally. Therefore, a total of 15 plots were established in non-removed and landslide areas of Cupressus funebris and Cryptomeria fortunei plantations near northern section of fault belt of Wenchuan Earthquake (8.0 Ms) occurring in May 12, 2008, China. 112 and 114 small fine roots (&le2.0 mm in diameter) in all the plots were sampled in June and October of 2009. Mean tips length/length, area/ length, volume/length, mean tips length/biomass, specific root area and specific root length in 0.0-0.5, >0.5-1.0 and >1.0-2.0 mm diameters of roots were examined. This study revealed 1) root parameters did not respond to the landslide soils in the June, but did until the October, suggesting after many root tips and tiny roots die in winter, the roots lose sensitivity to a changing soil environment; 2) mean tips length/length and mean tips length/biomass decreased for Cupressus funebris, and increased for Cryptomeria fortunei as well as area/length and volume/length in the landslide soils, implying both species roots have different processes of forest restoration; 3) the smallest sized roots were more sensitive to the landslide soils than the other sized roots, which are better indicators for the forest restoration.

In view of these specific natures of the bioreactor, system identification method was firstly used to linearize the nonlinear system and simplify the model of the biological reactor; then a new sliding mode controller with adaptive reaching law is designed for the reactor. The control method can not only analysis the sliding mode movement near or along the switching surface, but also design the dynamic process in trending segments of the system effectively, thus ensure good movement quality in the entire state space. Simulation results prove that the sliding mode control with adaptive reaching law can improve the control performance with negligible chattering and enhanced robustness.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:The effects of Sn addition on the cast microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion behavior were comprehensively investigated. Cast AM60 alloy mainly consisted of primary Mg matrix and Mg17Al12 phase, and the microstructure virtually remained unchanged by the Sn additions up to 2%. Most of added Sn solute atoms were observed to dissolve into the Mg17Al12 phase and only a few fine MgAlSn precipitates were found in the high Sn alloys. Tensile strength at both room and 175°C was rather deteriorated by increasing Sn content, however the creep strength was significantly enhanced by it. Polarization characteristics of cast AM60 based alloys were not remarkably affected by the Sn content.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:Thick-walled hollow cylinder is an important class of engineering structure, the stress state of which depends on the loads and properties of the body materials. Under the assumptions of σθ-σr=c (σθ and σr denote the hoop stress and radial stress, respectively, c is a constant), inverse analysis of thick-walled hollow cylinder composed of functionally graded materials with uniform pressure acting on the outer surface is carried out. Analytical solutions for the Young's modulus variation in the radial direction are obtained. It is found that only when the Young's modulus E(r) is a specific monotone increasing function of the radius r, the pre-specified stress distribution can be satisfied. Comparing with classical homogeneous materials, stress concentration at the inner surface of hollow cylinder composed of functionally graded materials can be alleviated. Hence the elastic ultimate bearing capacity of hollow cylinder can be improved strikingly. For functionally graded materials, the elastic ultimate bearing capacity can be improved strikingly by increasing the thickness of cylinder, which is not so obvious for classical homogeneous materials.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:This paper presents a method to seal the moving parts in underwater robots, especially robot fish. The proposed seal for under water robots is developed using Magneto Rheology (MR) fluid. MR fluid is a kind of smart material, of which the viscosity varies with the external magnetic field. This fluid is composed of silicon oil and small magnetic particles, which are micrometer sized, and when an external magnetic field is applied to the fluid, the small particles align with the magnetic flux line. The arrays of magnetic particles in the fluid inhibit the fluid flow, which changes the viscosity of fluid. Taking advantage of this phenomenon, we devised a seal with a permanent magnet and MR fluid. Our analysis demonstrates the performance of the developed seal. The magnetic equivalent circuit method and Finite Element Method (FEM) are used to calculate the magnetic field and the analysis results show that the developed seal can sustain 10 atm pressure.

This paper aims at verifying the proposed simulation methods and providing several examples of its application to FRP sandwich panels. In this regard, four categories were simulated including: perfect bonding, microcracks, debonding Case I, and debonding Case II. Each category contained six ABAQUS models with two types of loads, thermal loads and applied mechanical loads. Results showed that microcracking would lower the stiffness of the panel, but not as much as debonding between the core and the face sheets.

The method is based on both windowing and zero-padding of the signal. The expectation is that the method can provide harmonic amplitude more visible for the purpose of motor fault analysis. The method is tested on 3 different motor conditions: healthy, stator fault, and rotor fault motor at full load condition. The method can provide more visible harmonic amplitudes than other methods, because it can eliminate the leakages and provide smoother plotting. Thus, it can help improve accuracy of motor condition classification and the prediction of the fault severity levels.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:Introduction: The most widely used preservative system for natural rubber latex to date is the ammonia-based system preventing spontaneous coagulation and putrefaction due mainly to bacteria contamination. Objectives: The study compared 2 types of Thai orthodontic elastics, produced from natural rubber latex with different ammonia contents with commercial orthodontic elastics in terms of initial extension force, residual force, force loss, swelling index, breaking strength and maximum displacement. Materials and Methods: Thai orthodontic elastics were developed from 2 types of natural rubber latex; low ammonia < 0.15% (Thai-L), and high ammonia not < 0.6% (Thai-H). The mechanical properties of Thai orthodontic elastics were compared with commercial elastics (Ormco). Mechanical properties were tested using a universal testing machine (Instron 5566). Data were analyzed by One-way ANOVA and Tukey's test compared the measurements among groups. Results: Ormco had the highest initial extension force and showed significant differences with Thai-L and Thai-H. Thai-L had the highest residual force but showed no significant difference compared with Ormco. Thai-L had the lowest percent of force loss and showed significant differences with Thai-H and Ormco. Thai-L had lower force loss than Thai-H. For swelling index, Thai-L had the highest elasticity. For breaking strength and maximum displacement, both Thai elastics met the Australian Standard (AS) for breaking strength and maximum displacement, similar to Ormco elastics. Conclusion: All elastics met the specifications of the AS for breaking strength and maximum displacement.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:Considering the dynamic nonlinear characteristics of soil by equivalent linear method, one-dimensional wave models were established to study the seismic effects along depth of deep soft sites under far-field ground motions of great earthquake. The results show that the magnified effect of acceleration response spectrum of each layer present more outstanding under far-field ground motions than under Suzhou artificial waves, with the increasing of bedrock peak ground acceleration, there is probability that the peak of long-period component of acceleration response spectrum appears higher than that of the short-period within 15m depth, which may adversely affect the long-period building structures. However, the reduction coefficient of peak ground acceleration (PGA) along depth according to the three levels of earthquake fortification standard was relatively higher when inputting far-field ground motions of great earthquake. As the curve fitted by Longjun Xu et al. based on records collected California Strong Motion Instrumentation Program geotechnical arrays of the United States and Hosokura Mine arrays of Japan, is not suitable for Suzhou area, suited quantitative formula about reduction coefficient curve of PGA with depth in deep soft site is given. Besides, maximum shear strain at the depth of approximately 15m and 40m present to be greatly changed when inputting far-field ground motions of great earthquake, with the growth of inputting bedrock peak ground acceleration, the layer in the depth of about 15m comes to be the most unfavorable position of shear deformation.

Theoretical investigation is conducted based on the Lypumov dynamic stability theory. Based on B-R criterion, an improved method to evaluate the dynamic stability of suspen-domes is proposed. According to the method and time-history response curves, the dynamic stability of the suspen-domes is evaluated under horizontal seismic excitations. The dynamic stability characteristics, stability mode and cable mechanical behavior of the suspen-domes with different rise-span ratios are analyzed. The results show that the effect of the rise-span ratios on the dynamic stability is different.

The impact of inclined arch rib angle and the number of cross brace between main and stable arch ribs on the seismic internal force response under lateral random seismic excitation is also studied in this research.

The reactor was possessed of a high nitrogen removal efficiency at pH=8.0 where the similarity of microbial community structure between active sludge and biofilm samples was the lowest about 84.6% and the richness of bacterial community was the most abundant in biofilm compared with other pH conditions. pH=7.0 was good for the microbes in active sludge but unfavorable for anaerobic bacteria. At pH=9.0, the effects were presented with both bacterial activities and microbial community structure and when pH=6.0 the amount of microbial types dramatically dropped.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:Since Ronan Point tower local collapse in UK in 1968, progressive collapse phenomenon in structures attracted more attention for civil engineers all over the world so there were no useful researches and manual codes related to progressive collapse designing before. Progressive collapse occurs when loading pattern, boundary condition and resisting path changed, so critical elements undergo excessive unpredicted loading. We cannot omit reason of collapse as well as prevention of distribution of it that cause progressive collapse. Also, we cannot predict exact location of collapse beginning, so we should generalized design guides to whole or part of structures elements based on risk analyzing. Also we can use load carrying element removal scenario for critical elements. To prevent progressive collapse, structural systems require to having a well-distributed, redundant lateral load resisting system and ductile connections capable of undergoing large inelastic rotations without failing. There are some new guides and criteria for elements and connections to be designed to resist progressive collapse. Depends on required accuracy, importance of the buildings and acceptable risk level, the analysis methodologies ranged from linear to nonlinear with static and dynamic approaches. In this paper, codes and researches recommendations to resist progressive collapse for steel structures are presented, classified and compared. Also, applicable design methods based on codes and some retrofitting methods are summarized.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:The effects of nitric oxide (NO) in protecting maize (Zea mays) roots against cadmium (Cd) toxicity were investigated. Maize seedlings pretreated for 24 h with 10-40 μM sodium nitroprusside (SNP), an NO donor, and subsequently exposed to 5 μM Cd for 24 h exhibited significantly greater root elongation as compared with the plants without SNP pretreatment. The pretreatment with 20 μM SNP alleviated Cd toxicity most obviously. SNP reduced Cd-induced accumulation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and malonodialdehyde (MDA), which indicated NO alleviated Cd-induced oxidative damage. Cd treatment resulted in an upregulation of activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and the contents of glutathione (GSH) and ascorbate (ASC). Though SNP suppresses activities of POD, SOD and APX, it increases the production of non-enzymic antioxidants including glutathione (GSH) and ascorbate (ASC). The protective effect of SNP on Cd toxicity can be reversed by 2-(4-carboxy-2-phenyl)-4,4,5,5 -tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide (cPTIO), a NO scavenger, suggesting that the protective effect of SNP is attributable to NO released. These results suggest that NO plays an important role in protecting the plant against Cd-induced oxidative damage.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:Free field response of partially saturated sands to cyclic loading, with a particular attention to soil liquefaction has been studied. The study has been conducted using a numerical model elaborated for the liquefaction of partially saturated soils together with a cyclic elastoplastic constitutive relation implemented in a finite element program. The numerical model and the analysis of the influence of soil saturation on the free field response, for different positions of the water table have been investigated respectively. The result shows that the soil saturation degree largely affects the free field response to cyclic loading, with a decrease in soil saturation leading to a decrease in the rate of generation of excess pore-water pressure, and consequently to a reduction in the liquefaction risk.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:The blasting vibration derived from multiple blasts and its effects on surrounding rock in a longspan tunnel will probably give rise to cumulative damage of surrounding rock, and weaken surrounding rock's stability. Blastmate III, made by the Canadian company Instantel, is utilized to monitor the vibration signals from multiple blasts. Blasting vibration decay law and allowed safety distance of blasting are calculated by using Sadaovsk formula. Then, cumulative effects are analyzed by Hilbert-Huang Transform method as well as consequential instantaneous energy spectrum, and UTEP is presented to indicate the change of cumulative effects and damage in surrouding rock. The research shows that during the progress of damage evolution, "strengthening" and" deteriorating" may alternately appear several times. This is a zigzag reciprocating process in damage evolution of surrounding rock.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:The reinforced RC girder with external prestress is applied more and more widely. Reinforcement of the girder is influenced by various factors, among which the concrete intensity degree and the prestress degree are mainly analyzed through the finite element software ABAQUS to learn their influence on the anti-bending bearing capacity of the externally reinforced RC simply supported beam.Since the reinforcement stresses of RC girder (regular reinforced concrete beam) are far less than the maximum intensity of the reinforcing steel bar, the concrete in the pulled area cracks, which causes the stiffness of constructional elements to decrease, deform and expand so that the elements become useless before it is damaged. External prestress can effectively improve such defect of the RC girder, and a great deal of research has been carried out. Due to the experimental boundedness and discreteness, large general finite element software ABAQUS is adopted to analyze the anti-bending bearing capacity of the externally reinforced RC girder, which is based on the size of experimental constructional elements in literature.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:This paper presents an overview of the work undertaken by Rolls-Royce to introduce Hot Isostatically Pressed (HIP) large bore, austenitic stainless steel pipework into a safety critical application - a Nuclear Reactor plant. It describes the advantages of using HIP product forms to combine separate sections of straight pipe and elbows and, in so doing, reducing the number of structural plant welds. Although the HIP process is not new, it was new in its application to Rolls-Royce designed nuclear reactor plant. As a consequence, Rolls-Royce has implemented an evolving, staged development programme, starting with HIP bonding of solid valve seats into small bore valve pressure boundaries. This was followed by powder HIP consolidation of leak-limited, thin-walled toroids, and has culminated in the powder HIP consolidation of thick-walled components - vessels and pipework. The paper provides an overview of the Rolls-Royce development programme. Mechanical testing and metallurgical examination results of sample material taken from different sections of a large bore pipe are presented. The paper describes the benefits that Rolls-Royce has realised so far through the introduction of HIP components. Structural integrity benefits are described, such as improved grain structure, improved mechanical properties, and enhanced capability for ultrasonic inspection. Project-based benefits are also described, such as provision of an alternative strategic sourcing route, cost and lead-time reductions.

Experimental results suggested that hardness decreases with the decrement of grain size, which exhibits an inverse Hall-Petch effect. A remarkable room temperature creep behavior of nanocrystalline Ta films was revealed during indentation response. Creep stress exponent decreases with the decrement of feature scale, such as grain size and indent displacement. Grain boundary (GB) mediated process involving atomic diffusion and the emission of dislocation at GB is believed to be the dominant deformation mechanism.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:The nature of high specific strength compared with other structural materials has led to wide application of Mg alloys. However, Mg alloys often exhibit relatively low strength and/or low surface stability, which can limit the practical application of the alloy system. In order to achieve high strength, the commercial AZ61 alloys were extruded, so that the application of the alloy system can be extended towards new structural parts for requiring the light nature of the alloy system. In this study, a high temperature extrusion has been carried out for the commercial Mg alloys (AZ61). The productivity and mechanical properties of the alloy were critically affected by the extrusion conditions such as temperature, extrusion ratio and extrusion speed. The texture development and alloy strengths with respect to the extrusion conditions have been discussed in terms of microstructural observations and phase analyses.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:This paper proposes new procedures of motor fault detection. The proposed methods are based on filtered-signals and eliminated-signals. Generally, the raw stator phase currents collected from the motors are firstly filtered in order to get rid of measurement noises. If the new signals are called "Filtered-Signals" and the signals eliminated from the raw stator phase currents are called "Eliminated-Signals". The first proposed procedure is to detect the motor faults by spectrum of PSD slope from the filtered-signals. The second proposed procedure is to detect the motor faults by spectrum of the eliminated-signals. The both methods are tested on 3 different motor conditions: healthy, stator fault, and rotor fault motor at full load condition. The experiments show that the both methods can differentiate conditions clearly and they also can indicate the levels of fault severity. Thus, it can be effective when the both methods are applied simultaneously to analyze the faults.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:Objectives: The study aimed to compare the residual forceoflocally produced Thai orthodontic elastomeric ligatureswith 2 commercial brands.Materials and Methods: The study compared Thai clear and blue orthodontic elastomeric ligatures with clear and blue commercial brands[Unitek (USA) and W&H (China)]. The dimensional characteristics of the ligatures (i.e., inner diameter, outer diameter and cross-section thickness) were measured. Then initial extension force was measured. After that, the residual force was determined at day 1and repeated on day 2,3,4,5,6,7,14,21, and 28 andthe percentage of residual force wascalculatedaccording to ISO 21606:2007. The data were analyzed with Two-way ANOVA and multiple linear regression (p<0.05). Results: Thai ligatures had significantly greater inner diameter(clear 1.22 mm, blue 1.21 mm) and cross-section thickness (clear 0.78 mm, blue 0.79 mm) in both colors when compared with Unitek and W&H brands. Thai ligatures had no significant difference in cross-section thickness between clear and blue.Thai clear ligatures hadthe highest initial extension force(2.30 N). Thai ligatures showed similar force decay patterns as other brands, rapidly decreasing the first day, gradually decreasing over 7 days and remaining nearly constant until 28 days.However, both clear and blue Thai elastomeric ligatures had significantly less outer diameters (clear 3.12 mm, blue 3.15mm). Thai blue ligatures had the lowest initial extension force (1.96 N).TheThai clear and blue demonstrated less percentage of residual force in the first day (clear 53.00%, blue 50.66%) and28 days (clear, 37.69%, blue, 37.00%) butthey were clinically acceptable. In general, clear ligatures exhibited a greater percentage of residual force than blue ligatureamong the 3 brands. Conclusion: Thai orthodontic elastomeric ligature properties are comparable to commercially available brands and acceptable for clinical application.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:This paper presents a low-power multistage amplifier with a novel capacitor-multiplier frequency compensation (CMFC) technique. The proposed compensation strategy can allow the circuit to occupy less silicon area and to drive large capacitive loads more effectively. Moreover, smaller physical capacitance results in higher gain-bandwidth product (GBW) and improved transient responses. Furthermore, the capacitor multiplier stage (CMS) embedded in CMFC creates a left-half plane (LHP) zero, which boosts the phase margin and enhances the stability of the amplifier. Implemented in a commercial 0.5-μm CMOS technology and driving 500pF capacitive load, a three-stage CMFC amplifier achieves over 120dB gain, 1.699MHz GBW and 1.625V/μS average slew rate, while only dissipating 330μW under 3.3V supply.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:In order to calculate the combined deformations of an Euler-Bernoulli cantilever beam subjected to bending moment, twisting moment, transverse load and axial load, particle flow code in 3 dimensions (PFC3D) is used with parallel bonds model. The computed deformations, including transverse deflections, rotations about axis, maximum normal and shear stresses, were compared with the analytical beam-theory solution in terms of axial tension, axial compression and none axial load, respectively. Between computed results and analytical beam-theory solution, the error bands are greater than 99.7% at the beam tip, while the error of the transverse deflection of the whole beam is less than 0.6%. So, the PFC3D is able to precisely simulate the combined deformation of cantilever beam, and this work has special reference to engineering calculations and designs when PFC is applied to model the mechanical behaviors of continuum materials.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:Anti-seepage reinforcement technology of splitting grouting to improve the stability of dam, has been an effective reinforcement method in the field of dam reinforcement. Based on the extended SMP criterion and stress-dilatancy relation considering large strain, the governing equations of axisymmetric problem in the plane strain condition and the partial differential equations for the boundary-value problem of cavity expansion in frictional cohesive soils were established. Then, the early phase of splitting grouting is regarded as the plane strain question of cylindrical expansion infinite soil. Under initial grouting pressure, the soil body was supposed as ideal elastic mass. However, the soil body was supposed to generate plastic damage considering large strain with the increase of grouting pressure and submit the extended spatial mobilization plane theory. Solutions of radial and hoop stresses and strains around the grouting cavity were obtained by recursive computations. Furthermore, the influence of damage softening parameter, cohesion and friction angle was examined by a parametric study.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:Microstructural evolution of a copper alloy processed by accumulative roll-bonding (ARB) was investigated by EBSD analysis. The grains became thinner and elongated to the rolling direction with increasing the number of ARB cycles. The subdivision of the grains to the rolling direction actively begins to occur after 5 cycles of the ARB, resulting in formation of ultrafine grains with small aspect ratio. After 8 cycles, the ultrafine grained structure with the average grain diameter of 250nm developed in almost whole regions of the sample. In addition, the fraction of high-angle grain boundaries increased with the number of ARB cycles and reached about 0.7 after 8 cycles. The texture development of the ARB processed samples was different depending on the number of ARB cycles and the positions in the thickness.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:Piled embankments are increasingly used to construct highways on soft soils. End-bearing piles for supporting embankment exhibit different characteristics for the soil arch developed within the embankments. A numerical analysis was conducted to evaluate the soil stress concentration ratio, pile and soil settlements, pile axial force, negative skin friction (NSF) and location of the neutral plane (NP) during embankment filling and consolidation of soft soils. The results indicate that the stress concentration ratio varies with time and most of the embankment load is born by the pile. The soil pressure on the soft soils increase and reach a maximum value during the filling, then decrease gradually and maintain nearly a constant value at the end of the consolidation. The settlement of shallow soft soils differs significantly from that of the deep soft soils. The location of the NP shows a complicated variation.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:Cast IN738LC alloy mainly consists of primary gamma matrix, gamma prime precipitates, and carbides. SEM-EDS analysis results suggested that most of the carbides are MC type ones that possess high Ti or Ta contents. MC carbides were partly dissolved into the matrix during the solid solution treatment, and the morphology and size of carbides were influenced by the solid solution treatment temperature. Characteristics of gamma prime precipitates were also significantly affected by the solid solution treatment conditions. Single or duplex size distributions of gamma prime precipitates were obtained depending on the solid solution treatment condition. Higher tensile strength was obtained in the case of finer precipitation size and in the case of single size distribution as compared with that of duplex size distribution.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:Landfills come with a cover barrier which includes a compacted silty clay liner essential to safety on site. However this barrier encounters problems, especially those related to the differential settlement, which may cause stress in the clay layer leading to the development of cracks. Generally speaking, tensile stress damage and shearing are observed on the cap cover. Due to the weak mechanical performance of the clay layer it was proposed to add polypropylene fibre reinforcement. Direct tensile tests and compression tests under low confinement were carried out on unreinforced and reinforced soils.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:Mn doped ZnO films with different doping concentration were synthesized by sol gel method using the spin coating technique. Zn1-xMnxO thin films are prepared using 2- methoxyethanol solution of zinc acetate dehydrate and manganese acetate tetrahydrate. The quantity of Mn in the sol was synthesized with undoped ZnO, 2%, 4%, 6% and 8 % of Mn doped ZnO with an annealing temperature of 500°C. The FESEM images showed many spherical shaped nanoparticles on the cross-sectional of the films. The optical properties were characterized using UV-Vis where the transmittance and band gap value were affected by certain amount of Mn concentration. These films achieve tunable band gap characteristics by means of changing the dopant concentration. It shows an initial decrease of band gap for small concentrations of Mn, followed by an increase at higher Mn doping concentrations.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:Aluminium alloy members under axial force have broad application in structural field. Owing to low elastic modulus, aluminium alloy members are easier buckling than steel members. Based on the reasonable and equivalent calculation model and the related calculation formulas of rotational restraint stiffness kφ, lateral restraint stiffness kx, and distortional buckling critical half-wave length λ that provided by lipped channel web plate to flange under longitudinal distribution stress, the distortional buckling load calculation formula of the lipped channel is derived combining the thin-walled bar buckling theory in elastic medium. The distortional buckling loads and distortional buckling critical half-wave lengths at the different wall thickness have been calculated using the calculation formulas of this paper, and the results have been comparatived with the finite strip method. The comparison results show that: the average ratio of caculation results from formulas of this paper and results from CUFSM is 0.997and0.971 respectively,the corresponding variance is 2.9*10-5and 7.5*10-5. So the calculation results of this paper is in good agreement with the finite strip software, the calculation formula of this paper has enough calculation precision and good stability. At the same time, the calculation results of this paper is more concise than calculation formula for the same type, easy to be applied, may be used in practical applications and taken account into design codes and guidelines.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:This article utilities ocean battery drive LED lamp which is a symbol of NTOU. One of the renewable green energy is sea water existing by the nature. The sea water battery has convenience of usage and storage. LEDs will be a great benefit to the saving-energy and environmental protection in the lighting lamps region. When we consider that the choice for providing power type, origin and green, the ocean battery may offer the electric power of Direct Current (D.C.) for a long time which causing it unexpected deficient and does not cause the marine pollution. There are two experiments respectively to analyze that how long time the ocean battery can consume and these characteristics. One is to have the loading resistance 2.95 KΩ in order to form the circuit, lets the ocean battery discharge continually, each process 10 minutes later, gauges its voltage; Another lets the ocean battery itself nature electric discharge, uses the tri-ammeter to gauge the ocean battery voltage. Then we design a LED chart for NTOU fonts having dimensions of 2000 × 10 × 5 mm³ composing the soft LED lamp strip which weld them on the aluminum based plate as indicative lamp in the night navigation. The starting minimum voltage is 5 V and the maximum voltage is 12 V. The results show that so long as the ocean battery vibrates light flipping, the voltage starts unstable, will draw steady-state value after a few time. In other words, the air bubble will affect the voltage value in the ocean battery; therefore we must pay attention to solve this question.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:Sound barriers are widely used as an important engineering measure to mitigate traffic noise pollution in urban elevated roads. However, structure design codes on sound barrier used in urban viaduct is empty, which is a key reason for the short service life of sound barrier. Numerical simulation of characteristics of running cars induced wind loads on sound barrier of elevated roads is carried out based on the method of computational fluid dynamics. The changing course of wind loads on the surface of sound barrier is reappeared in the process of cars passing by the sound barrier. The distribution rule of wind loads on the surface of sound barrier at different space positions is revealed.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:In the traditional classification of the soil stratums, geological engineers mostly classify the soil stratums according to their experience. However, it is very probable that these classification results are subjective, random and uncertain. There is a significant regional difference, so different people may have different results for the same soil stratums classification. Therefore, the concept of fuzzy cluster is introduced in this paper, which makes the physics-mechanical indexes of the soil as the basic parameters, and the soil stratums are classified through mathematical analysis. In order to ensure that classification results are reasonable and effective, the cluster validity index is applied to test results. Through engineering examples analysis, the present classification method is practicable in geotechnical stratums division.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:Understanding the relationship between amino acid sequences and folding rates of proteins is an important challenge in computational and molecular biology. All existing algorithms for predicting protein folding rates have never taken into account the sequence coupling effects. In this work, a novel algorithm was developed for predicting the protein folding rates from amino acid sequences. The prediction was achieved on the basis of dipeptide composition, in which the sequence coupling effects are explicitly included through a series of conditional probability elements. Based on a non-redundant dataset of 99 proteins, the proposed method was found to provide an excellent agreement between the predicted and experimental folding rates of proteins when evaluated with the jackknife test. The correlation coefficient was 87.7% and the standard error was 2.04, which indicated the important contribution from sequence coupling effects to the determination of protein folding rates.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:NiTi shape memory alloy is widely used in dental applications such as orthodontics arch wire, mini screw implant, orthodontics spring, etc., because of its favorable superelasticity and shape memory effect. Wire drawing is a fundamental manufacturing process used for producing orthodontics arch wires. It is well known that cold-work occurred during wire drawing operation is also important to control mechanical properties and transformation temperature of NiTi wires. Thus, the purpose of this work is to study the effect of cold working by means of reduction ratio of cross - sectional area and heat-treatment temperatures on transformation and mechanical behavior of the drawn wires for utilized as orthodontic wires. The wire material used in this study is Ni 51.4Ti48.6 (at%) alloy with various initial diameters with targeted wire diameter of 0.51mm (0.02 inch). The die for wire drawing is made of tungsten carbide which is inserted into a steel case. The dies were designed to have different reduction ratio of cross sectional area for 4 levels; 10%, 20%, 30% and 40%, respectively. The lubricant used in this study is sodium stearate powder. In order to investigate the influences of heat-treatment temperatures, the drawn wires are heat-treated at 400 °C and 600 °C for 3.6ks.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:In this paper, Plate Frame Interaction (PFI) developed by other researches for modeling Steel Plate Shear Wall (SPSW) is applied for designing a half-scale, single bay and one story SPSW. After designing of SPSW, one specimen is constructed accordingly. In order to determine the mechanical properties of steel, coupon test is performed; and then again theoretical relations based on PFI is re-checked. In this study, gravity loads are neglected and only seismic resistance of SPSW is considered. With cyclic lateral loading as quasi-static load, according to Acceptance Criteria for Cyclic Racking Shear Tests For Metal-Sheathed Shear Walls with Steel Framing (AC154) and obtaining its hysteretic loops, force displacement diagram of the specimen is determined. Comparison of theoretical and experimental results shows that ultimate strength of SPSW based on theoretical analysis is lower than that of experimental analysis. By the way, due to large deformation of beam during the applied loading, it is proposed that plastic moment of beam be get higher, rather than that of proposed quantity. However, through increasing of beam and column rigidity and attention to weak girder- strong column theory, it is estimated that ultimate strength, ductility and energy dissipation of steel shear wall will significantly improve.

This article makes a comparison with anti-carbonation ability of concrete under restraint and non-restraint condition. The compressive strength and carbonation depth are tested, and the changes of micro-structure are also analyzed with TG-DSC and MIP analysis. The results reveal that single-dimensional restraint condition can efficiently improve the pore structure of concrete. And expansive agent also has a slight improvement to it.

In other words, the new fast multipole method (FMM) adopting diagonalization and the generalized minimal residual (GMRES) algorithm are jointly employed to solve the equations related to virtual boundary element collocation method (VBEM) with RBF interpolation on virtual boundary. In this paper, the numerical scheme suitable for original FMM with respect to two-dimensional problem of elasticity is optimized, through the introduction of concept of diagonalization, in terms of the radial basis function to express the unknown virtual load functions, in order to further improve the efficiency of the problem to be solved. Then large-scale numerical simulations of elastostatics might be achieved by the method. Numerical examples in the paper have proved the feasibility, efficiency and calculating precision of the method.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:In order to investigate the influence of the traps which exist in the multi-quantum-well (MQW) of GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs), we analyzed the output current fluctuation known as random telegraph noise (RTN) at reverse-biased region. We could find the two-level current fluctuations at two samples (S1, S2) and the low-level average time (τlow) is larger than the high-level average time (τhigh) at both samples, which means that the energy level of the trap is located below the mid-gap of used material. With increasing a reverse bias voltage, in case of S1, τhigh becomes higher and τlow becomes lower as the energy level of the trap becomes relatively higher in reference to quasi Fermi level, EFn. On the contrary, the τhigh becomes lower and the τlow becomes higher at S2 as the energy level of the trap becomes relatively lower in reference to quasi Fermi level, EFp.

In order to improve the quality of servo-valve products by depressing and overcoming the self-excited high-frequency pressure oscillations and noise appearing in pilot stage of a hydraulic servo-valve, application of magnetic fluid in a hydraulic servo-valve is developed in this paper. Large damping can be introduced by the magnetic fluids into the servo-valve if magnetic fluids are filled into the working gaps of the hydraulic servo-valve torque motor. After the construction and working principle of a hydraulic servo-valve with magnetic fluids are introduced, the high-frequency pressure oscillation signals are tested and recorded when magnetic fluids are applied or not in the servo-valve. Experimental results are compared and analyzed by using FFT analysis method. It is shown that pressure oscillations of the servo-valve are depressed when magnetic fluids are applied.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:The explicit dynamic code LS-DYNA3D is used to simulate limited-thickness concrete slabs penetrated and perforated by steel projectiles with velocities from 381 m/s to 1058 m/s. The concrete slab is modeled with Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) elements near the trajectory while Finite Element Method (FEM) elements in the others of the target, which is called FE-SPH method. The elastic-plastic model and Johnson-Holmquist concrete model are used to describe the mechanical behaviors of the projectiles and target slabs, respectively. The residual velocities computed by both FEM and FE-SPH method agree well with those of experimental results. For brittle concrete, the penetration and perforation phenomenon modeled by FE-SPH are in closer agreement with the experimental results than those modeled by FEM. Simulation of penetration and perforation by FEM require artificial element erosion set, which would lead to distortion of modeled results.

A novel linking method of these multiple valves and their control strategy contribute to the accomplishment of saving the numbers of power modules and the system power consuming, eventually the volume and weight of the system. For a N times M valves matrix, the saving numbers of power modules used for driving these valves are the difference between the product of N and M, and the plus of N and M.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:The issues of energy shortage, global warming and climate change have led to an increased interest in new energy sector, such as microalgae-based biofuels. There are many advantages to produce microalgae as a biofuel feedstock, for instance, high photosynthesis efficiency and uncompetition with traditional agriculture on farmlands. Benefiting from current culturing technologies, such as open ponds and photobioreactors, commercial microalgae farming (e.g., Earthrise) is booming. In this regard, identifying the main environmental benefits associated with microalgae production is pretty important to support this promising industry. Although there are many researches on microalgae production, published information available on the sustainably environmental benefits is fragmented. The aims of this paper are to investigate and analyze environmental benefits related with microalgae biomass production for biofuel usage from sustainability perspective, systematically and explicitly, including water resource, land, nutrient, greenhouse gases and genetic modification dimensions.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:The scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM) was extended to solve dam-reservoir interaction problems in the time domain and a dynamic stiffness used in the SBFEM of semi-infinite reservoir in the time domain was proposed, which was evaluated by the Bessel function. Based on the dynamic stiffness, transient responses subjected to horizontal ground motions were analyzed through coupling the SBFEM and finite element method (FEM). A dam was modeled by FEM, while the whole fluid in reservoir was modeled by the SBFEM alone or a combination of FEM and SBFEM. Two benchmark examples were considered to check the accuracy of the dynamic stiffness. Results were compared with those from analytical or substructure methods and good agreements were found.

In this paper, least squares support vector machines (LS-SVMs) are investigated to solve such a practical problem. It is the first time to apply the technique and analyze the forecast performance in the domain. For comparison purpose, other two non-parametric predictors are selected because of their effectiveness proved in past research. Having good generalization ability and guaranteeing global minima, LS-SVMs perform better than the others. Providing sufficient improvement in stability and robustness reveals that the approach is practically promising.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:The aim of this study is to investigate effect of Cu and Co additions on corrosion behavior of NiTi shape memory alloys for orthodontic application. Ni50.649.4, Ti49Ni46Cu5 and Ti50Ni47Co3 (at%) alloys were prepared. The specimens were melted by arc-melting furnace and homogenized at 800°C for 3.6 ks. Transformation temperatures were analyzed by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The corrosion behavior was assessed electrochemically in artificial saliva (pH 5.35) at 37°C. Open circuit potential (OCP) was monitored 3.6 ks followed by potentiodynamic techniques. The results show that all of specimens revealed transformation temperature close to oral temperature which may be utilized as orthodontic wire. Surface roughness was measured in order to ensure that there is no significant difference which might affect corrosion resistance. It is seen that by adding Co and Cu into NiTi alloys, the corrosion potential (Ecorr) and pitting corrosion potential (E break) increase resulting in lower corrosion rate. Conceivably, Co and Cu additions considerable affect the corrosion behavior of NiTi alloys by improving corrosion resistance in artificial saliva.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:To evaluate the influences of the canyon topography on large structures, based on a rigid frame bridge across a 137-meter-deep and 600-meter-wide canyon, the seismic response of the canyon topography is analyzed under seismic SH waves with the assumptions of vertical incidence and oblique incidence to obtain the surface ground motions, which are used as the excitations for the bridge. It indicates that canyon topography has significant and complex influences on the surface ground motions. The peak ground accelerations vary greatly from the bottom of the canyon to the upper corners. And the ground surface has been characterized by larger relative displacements in the case of oblique incidence. Compared with the uniform seismic excitations, it's hard to find out any regularity on structural seismic responses considering the canyon topography effects. The canyon topography can enlarge or minish the structural responses in terms of the different structure members, and it should be a carefully considered factor in structural seismic analysis and design.

The result shows: the axial force of pile shaft increases with the growth of embankment filling load and gradually rises down along pile shaft to a certain depth, then slowly decreases afterwards. The velocity of force changing varies from the correlated soil layers, which indicates that pile shaft resistance appears to be unlike in different pile sites; The ratio of pile shaft resistance area to the overall pile length is relatively high while of normal resistance area is smaller ,and when the upper load is mainly supported by bearing course on pile end, pile-net composite foundation turns to be friction and end-bearing pile; For each level of loads, both pile-soil stress ratio and load shearing ratio of pile increase modestly, then tend to be steady till the next load level is applying on.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:Based upon the vibratory equation and sound radiation impedance of a cylindrical shell, the sound field distribution of a finite cylindrical shell simply-supported at two infinite rigid cylindrical shells were resolved with considering the structural loss. An interface containing some buttons connected with all the programs was designed by using Matlab, and their data were all stored in a file. It has been shown that the sound radiation power of the cylindrical shell decreases and the radiation efficiency increases with increasing of structural damping loss factors; when the frequency of the driving force is low, the sound field shapes "∞" directivity pattern; When the frequency of the driving force grows higher the sound directivity pattern becomes complex due to superposition of axial modes and circumferential modes; Only when the radiation of the end plates is much weaker than the cylindrical shell the analytical results of the shell simply-supported at two infinite rigid cylindrical shells can be utilized to illustrate the sound radiation by a finite cylindrical shell with two end plates.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:Natural rubber latex products are used as orthodontic elastics but the increased incidence of latex allergies has led to the development of nonlatex orthodontic products. In Thailand, commercial nonlatex orthodontic elastics are not readily available and the cost of imported non latex products is relatively high. Thai non latex elasticshave been developedas alternative orthodontic products for latex-allergic patients and their costs are affordable.Objective: Tocomparethe mechanical properties of Thai nonlatex elastics with commercial natural latex orthodontic elastics for orthodontic application. Materials and Methods: Samples of imported latex orthodontic elastics [Ormco(USA), G&H (USA), Creative Orthodontics (China), Tomy Elastics (Japan)]were selected to compare their dimensional characteristics and mechanical properties with Thai non latex elastics. The dimensional characteristics of the elastics (i.e., inner diameter, cross-sectional thickness and cross-sectional area) were determined and their mechanical properties [(i.e., initial extension force (F0), 24 h- residual force (F24), percentage of force loss, force exerted at 3x the specified inner diameter(F3xID) and breaking force] were tested next. The data were analyzed with One-way ANOVA and multiple comparison by Tukey's test was used among groups (p<0.05). Results:Significant differences of dimensional characteristics and mechanical properties were found among each brand of elastics. Thai non latex elastics had significantly different mechanical properties from natural latex elastics as reported in previous studies(p<0.05). Thai non latex elastics had the lowest initial extension force (0.82N), 24-h residual force (0.56 N) and breaking force (19.63 N, 8.183 MPa) but the highest percentage of force loss after 24 h (32.62%).However, the percentage of force loss was higher than commercial non latexelastics as previously reported. Conclusion:Thai nonlatex elastics were not comparable to those of the latex elasticsregardingmechanical properties;however,these are acceptable for orthodontic application. Therefore, the clinical selection of elastics should be based on the patient's medical history and the specific mechanical properties of the type of elastic. Thai nonlatex orthodontic elastics can be a valid alternativefor patients with latex allergy in Thailand and this study contributes to the continuous development of Thai nonlatex orthodontic elastics.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:In this paper, we proposed a VLSI architecture of the modified discrete cosine transform (MDCT) for MPEG 2/4 AAC encoders. The MDCT transforms the time domain input signals to the frequency domain spectrums. It is considered one of the most computational intensive part in implementing the AAC encoder. The AAC encoder allows four types of audio blocks while encoding the audio files. With our algorithm, the proposed design can share the coefficients needed in the MDCT. Moreover, we used a 2-dimensional folding technique to reduce the hardware cost while maintaining the audio quality. The proposed design is realized in TSMC 0.18-um 1P6M technology and is operated at 50 MHz. With these techniques on special hardware design, the result shows some advantages on low complexity.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:The increase of ships crossing encounter in the intersection water of bidirectional navigation Y-fairway (YF) seriously decreases the port service level. So it is necessary to study the ship traffic rules in YF intersection water to improve this phenomenon. This paper first analyzes the ship navigation characteristics in YF intersection water. Then a simulation model for ship sailing operation system of YF is built to study the influence of different traffic rules on port service level. Traffic rules separately are First Come First Serve (FCFS), Larger Ship Priority (LSP) and Ship Leaving Port Priority (SLPP). Finally, a case study is introduced to analyze the influence of each rule on port service level. The results show that traffic rules have little effect on port service level for smaller scale ports. But LSP maintains higher port service level with the increase of port scale, while SLPP reveals obvious advantage if port scale continues increasing. And the advantage of SLPP is more and more obvious with the increase of port scale.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:A low cost and substrate-independent method has been established to synthesize vertically aligned ZnO nanowires (NWs) on iron oxide films coated silicon substrates via low pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) method at 650°C. In this study, Si substrates were dipped into the iron (III) nitrate nonahydrate solution prior to the synthesis process. This oxidized iron film facilitated the growth of highly oriented (002) ZnO seed layer, which allowed subsequent vertically aligned ZnO NWs to be grown on top of it during the synthesis. This approach has provided a good alternative to grow vertically aligned ZnO NWs without the need of considering the epilayer relationship between the ZnO and the material to be used as substrate.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:To ensure the pressure bars to work safely and reliably, the most important thing is that the bars should possess sufficient stability. The previous massive domestic and foreign literature is just about the instability of the pressure bars under the function of longitudinal critical force, the research on the instability under action of the lateral critical force is seldom. So the research on the stability under the function of the lateral critical force is of great importance. This paper deduces the formula of the lateral critical force with the energy method for the first time when the pressure bars is in the condition of instability, and the formula has good reference value for the research on instability of the pressure bars under the lateral critical force.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:Frame structure on a slope is a common kind of structure in a mountainous area. It can diminish the impact on environment, by avoiding to dug or fill the slope, using an opening platform, supported by beams and columns. Because the frame structure on a slope connects with the ground on different elevation level, it is evidently different from general frame structure in seismic design. Four sets of frame structure example on a slope sample are designed, with three opening floors connected with the ground on different elevation level, and three, six, nine, twelve upper floors correspondingly. The seismic responses characteristics of frames on a slope are studied in the paper from period, lateral deformation, seismic shear and so on, based on the analysis of the characteristics of frame structure on a slope. The main conclusions are as follows: the slope can enhance structural lateral stiffness to a certain extent; the opening floors connected with the ground on different elevation level, are not necessarily frail stories; the distribution of seismic force is uneven between the columns in the same floors which connect with the ground on different elevation level, and fixed columns undertake more than others, making them more fragile; the torsional effect is noticeable in the frame structure on a slope.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:Hourglass is obviously aroused in cold ring rolling simulation with reduced integration element because of ring vibrating violently and small contact area of ring and rollers. In the developed numerical simulation code named RingForm, two methods are used to control the hourglass. The first method is combination of artificial damping and artificial stiffness. The second is one-point quadrature element with hourglass control, which need not user-defined control parameters. Hourglass energy can be reduced to 3 percent of the internal energy. Using the latter, good elements are acquired, while computational efficiency is obviously lower than the former.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:Fraunhofer diffraction pattern from a circular aperture with the diameter of 10μm was observed using an optical fiber microprobe. The optical fiber microprobe started to detect optical power when the distance between the probe and the circular aperture was more than 292μm. When the probe was moved in a lateral motion, the light propagation showed a Bessel function profile. When the optical fiber microprobe was moved from 293μm to 309μm from the centre of the circular aperture in a transverse motion, the power detected was not consistent with a continuation of maxima and minima due to the effect of light propagation from the circular aperture. We also observed that the distance between the probe and the centre of the circular aperture was directly proportional with the radius of focused spot and inversely proportional with the Fresnel number.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:In Thailand, commercial orthodontic stainless steel wires are imported from overseas and expensive. However, lower cost general purpose stainless steel wires, the same type and number as commercial orthodontic stainless steel wires may be used for orthodontic purposes. Objective: This study aimed to determine the physical, mechanical and chemical properties of general purpose stainless steel wire compared with commercial orthodontic stainless steel wires. Materials and Method: Two commercial orthodontic stainless steel wires (Ormco and Highland) and general purpose stainless steel wire (SUS 304H) were evaluated. The physical and mechanical properties were studied according to ISO 15841:2006 and corrosion resistance was studied according to ISO 10271:2001. Surface characteristics and composition were studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and electron probe micro analyzer, respectively. Results: The experiment indicated that SUS 304H had the diameter and mechanical properties in the range of orthodontic stainless steel wires. The surface characteristics SUS 304H were similar from observation by SEM magnifications but SUS 304H had lower corrosion resistance due to lower nickel content. The composition confirmed that the three samples wires were genuine type 304. Conclusion: SUS 304H properties are comparable to commercial orthodontic wire properties.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:Numerical simulation for dynamic response of EPS geofoam seismic buffers placed behind the rigid retaining walls was carried out with the Fast Lagrangian Analysis for Continuum method (FLAC). The considerations of setting boundary condition of the numerical model, inputting and correcting the dynamic time series of seismic acceleration, and selecting the proper damping were discussed. The coincidence relations of compression-time for EPS geofoam buffers and the horizontal soil pressure -time for retaining wall were numerically calculated by using the proposed model. The calculating results were compared with the physical testing results. The comparisons showed that there were good agreements between the numerical data and the measured data. The numerical results indicate that EPS panels placed between the rigid retaining wall and the backfill soil have a good effect on reducing horizontal earth force during shaking acceleration and can act as seismic buffers against earthquake. The FLAC model provides a feasible way to analyze the dynamic response of EPS geofoam seismic buffers for further researches.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:Gate oxide shorts (GOS) defect is a critical factor in influencing yield or reliability of the wafer. Due to the conventional test vehicles are not appropriate to collect mass of testing data for GOS defect densities detection and have different manufacture process from the normal transistors resulting in the high testing cost. In this paper, a novel pseudo transistor matrix (PTM) is proposed for GOS density extraction which has almost the same structure as normal transistor. By assuming that GOS are completely independent, the defect density of GOS is extracted from the layout attributes and yield with PTM as a test vehicle to collect mass of testing data. Experimental results show that the extracted GOS defect density is in a good agreement with inline e-test data.

Bi-spectrum is used as a key method for processing the signal. The expectation is that the eliminated-signal may contain information for fault analysis. The spectrum and bi-spectrum of the signal are applied as signal processing methods to analyze the motor faults. The method is tested on 3 different motor conditions: healthy, stator fault, and rotor fault motor at full load condition. Based on experiments, the method can differentiate conditions clearly. They seem also to be able to measure fault severity levels by observing the change in among harmonic amplitudes.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:Abscisic acid (ABA) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) treatment significantly increased chilling tolerance in maize seedlings. ABA in combination with nitric oxide (NO) donor SNP further enhanced the ABA-induced chilling tolerance. But the addition of NO scavenger 2-phenyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3- oxide (PTIO) nullified the increasing effect of SNP on chilling tolerance. In addition, the combination of ABA and PTIO decreased the ABA-induced chilling tolerance. Measurement of activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) content and the level of lipid peroxidation (in terms of malondialdehyde) indicated that chilling stress induced an oxidative stress in maize seedlings. ABA treatment enabled maize seedlings to maintain higher SOD and CAT activities and lower level of H 2O2 and lipid peroxidation under chilling stress. ABA in combination with SNP further enhanced the ABA-induced increase in SOD and CAT activities and lowered the chilling stress-induced lipid peroxidation in the ABA-treated seedlings. But the addition of PTIO scavenged the increasing effect of SNP. In addition, the combination of ABA and PTIO had a contrary effect with that of ABA and SNP. These results suggest that the ABA-induced chilling tolerance is mediated by NO, NO is involved in ABA-induced chilling tolerance by increasing activities of antioxidant enzymes and reduced endogenous H 2O2 accumulation.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract:Passive ductile protective system is widely used because of its better performance than buttress wall. This paper intends to determine the sliding fall rock impact force against a steel column at first. Then the rigid protective structure and ductile protective structure were compared. At last the hidden principle that passive ductile protective system can reduce the impact force was revealed. Results indicate that rings for energy dissipation in passive ductile protective system can significantly decrease the bending stiffness EI and decrease the impact force. Buttress wall encounters a lot more impact force than passive ductile protective system because of its bulkiness. Thus to ensure the buttress wall non-destructive, the thickness of buttress wall increases and it is not economic.
