The as-cast microstructures of A356 alloys contain coarse α-Al dendrites and circular eutectic silicon, which do harm to its mechanical properties.
Great affects were made to change its microstructure in order to enhance the mechanical properties [1-5].
The grain refining efficiency, grain refinement mechanisms, and the enhanced mechanical properties were investigated.
In the procedure of T6 heat treatment, quenching rate following the solution treatment is the key factor affecting the precipitation behavior [10-13].
It can be found that the size and shape factor of silicon particles were greatly improved.

When shear stress is applied to cells, they will deform due to the weak elastic mechanical properties.
It holds the promise to simultaneously integrate the multiphenotype of cells, the ECM materials and growth factor together to create artificial tissue constructs that mimic the mechanical, chemical and biological properties of native tissue.
For example, nerve guidance by means of certain growth factors can be realized by adding the growth factors to specific locations and orientations of fibres.
Vascular networks can be formed with appropriate distributions of endothelial or stem cells and the growth factors.

The same basic factors apply to both weld repair and surfacing.
Parts made of low-carbon and low-alloy steels can be repaired without adversely affecting the service life of the part.
In some cases, a discontinuity can be left in a weld without affecting the weld’s function.
Using Prony’s series method [6-7] and AutoSignal algorithm [8] the mechanical parameters of the system are determined (Table 2).

Resistance of these materials to combination of several adverse factors was observed.
However, there are also situations when more adverse factors can act in synergy.
I the paper [2], the authors focus on research of properties of mortars with blended matrix containing fly ash (type Cl and F), silica fume and metakaolin exposed to sulphate environment for the time up to 30 months.
Subsequently, basic physico-mechanical parameters were tested, mineralogical composition and microstructure examined.

The influence factors of machine tool's machining precision are geometric errors, thermal errors and cutting force errors.
ZHANG Yaoman et al[3] analyzed thermal properties of spindle assembly and headstock of machining center and calculated the thermal distort of spindle and headstock.
On the base of the literature above, thermal error test and temperture test are done on a certain machine center's mechanical principal spindle.
Then, temperture begin to be main affect factor of displacements of all directions.

Passenger thermal comfort is one significant aspect in cabin-related issues and it has become a key market competition factor for the civil airline industry.
The reduction of cabin pressure and very low RH at cruise altitude will affect several terms in the bio-heat balance equation.
We assume that the static theory of thermal comfort can be applied to the civil aircraft cabin and all the properties of the individual tissue as well as the insulation properties of garments worn are independent of the air pressure [5], air pressure and RH will mainly impact on the heat loss through skin diffusion and sweating, and heat loss by convection. 1) Heat loss through skin diffusion and sweating The evaporative heat loss from skin (Esk) is defined as [6]: (2) where w is the skin wettedness; Re is clothing water vapour resistance, m2Pa/W; pa is water vapour pressure, Pa; is the saturated water vapour pressure at the skin temperature, Pa
Such a low RH is believed to affect the basal wettedness of the skin, having a normal value of 0.06 which may drop to values as low as 0.02 in a very dry environment.

Most SPD methods are limited to laboratory investigations due to technical and economic factors.
The approach presented in this paper provides a contribution to cope with the limiting factors.
Further EBSD analysis is required as well other approaches to determine material characteristics and mechanical properties.
Mechanical properties were analyzed using hardness measurement.
Further developments will focus on the understanding of the interaction between the geometry of SPD forming elements and the resulting microstructure and mechanical properties.
