Abstract
Given the social demand for self-powering wearable electronics, it is necessary to develop composite materials that exhibit both good flexibility and excellent piezoelectric performances. Intensive research on synthesis methods and devising characterization techniques for piezoelectric nanomaterials in various forms has been conducted. In particular, characterization techniques for piezoelectric nanomaterials require..... More

Abstract
The thermoplastic forming (TPF) process of metallic glass (MG) is a unique and powerful method that cannot be performed using conventional crystalline alloys. Because the mechanical and thermal properties of MGs are more favorable with smaller sample sizes, TPF is particularly useful for microscale and nanoscale part molding and micro-patterning......

Abstract
This study investigated the microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-1Gd-1Y-1Zn (at.%) alloys containing designed amounts of Ce or La. The Mg₅(Gd,Zn) phase formed in the as-cast Mg-Gd-Y-Zn-Ce/La alloys and disappeared after a homogenization treatment at 500°C for 24 h. The addition of Ce and La resulted in the formation of.....

Abstract
Transparent and conductive ZnO 50 nm/Au 8 nm/ZnO 50 nm tri-layer films were deposited on poly-imide films by radio frequency (RF) and direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering at room temperature, and then the effect of electron irradiation on the crystallization, electrical resistivity and optical properties of the films was considered.....

Abstract
The gas tungsten arc (GTA) weldability of high-Mn (HMn) steel and austenitic stainless steel (STS) 316L using dissimilar metal welds (DMWs) was investigated, to fabricate a fuel tank for an LNG-fueled ship. Three types of welding fillers, HMn steel, STS 309LMo and Inconel 625, were applied to the DMWs. The..... More

Abstract
With the development of additive manufacturing technology, many types of materials are being utilized, and methods of printing the materials and characteristics of their hydration properties are being studied in the fields of construction and biotechnology. Tricalcium silicate (C3S), which is used as a cement material or biomaterial, is a..... More

Abstract
To manufacture composites with required properties, it is extremely important to select an appropriate filler. Carbon-based nano materials such as carbon black, graphene and carbon nanotube (CNT) have been extensively investigated as reinforcing and conducting fillers. Because of their high aspect ratio coupled with superior physical properties, 1-dimensional CNTs are..... More

Abstract
This study investigates the effects of precompression and subsequent annealing on the tensile deformation behavior of a rolled AZ31 Mg alloy at room temperature using digital image correlation (DIC). When the as-rolled sample (AR sample) is subjected to precompresssion along the rolling direction (RD) and transverse direction (TD), the sample’s..... More

Abstract
We investigated various numerical methods including a physical-based empirical equation, linear regression, shallow neural network, and deep learning approaches, to compare their accuracy for predicting the hardness of tempered martensite in low alloy steels. The physical-based empirical equation, which had been previously proposed with experimental data, was labelled and used..... More
