In recent years, it has been reported that dispersion of fine ceramic particles or nano-particles into thermoelectric materials can improve the Z value by decreasing the lattice thermal conductivity without adversely affecting the electrical conductivity [9-13].
The thermoelectric properties were measured in the temperature range from 77 K to 300 K.

Meanwhile, for the sample without or less hydrophilic mineral, cohesive force is affected mainly by water content, and for the sample with large content of hydrophilic mineral, water content and dry density affect cohesive force together.
For a certain sample, the variation of moisture content and dry density affects internal friction angle less, while affects cohesive force more.
Since the triaxial test of unsaturated soil is more complicated, longer and more influential factors than saturated soil, the test has a research on the shearing strength and the influential factors of the three typical unsaturated mixed-soil from west Sichuan by using the SWCC got from former test and converting the test into conventional undrained triaxial test through controlling the water content of soil indirect.
For the soil which contains less or a little hydrophilic mineral, water is the main factor which has effect on the cohesion.

Repeatability versus accuracy Input and Output of the Problem In this paper, the two input parameters affecting the dynamic behavior of the robot are link length and link mass.
These two variables can be used by robot controller to affect its locomotion.
It should be noted that length and mass are for properties of each link where as α0 and s are used for the entire robot.
The x-axis of these two figures represents the 5 levels for each of the four input factors.

Thin metal films are prone to residual stress which is developed during thin film formation and growth and influenced by external factors.
Instead of observing its electrical properties, it also becomes necessary to study its morphology and residual stress since they will affect the functional properties.
Lee, et al. who studied the mechanical properties of Al/AlN multilayer thin films, reported that measurement result on residual stress showed Al layers were subjected to compressive stress which was induced by the interface which caused overall increase of the compressive stress in the multilayer thin films [7].

There are many unique properties and mechanical characteristics which can only be observed in polymeric nanofibrils [1].
Other properties include sufficient mechanical durability to enable prolonged functionality, high strength, and a high degree of nanoporosity [2].
These materials are well-suited to aerospace, automotive and marine applications, which require a balance of good mechanical properties and lightweight [1].
Useful properties include high mechanical performance, UV protection, anti-microbial properties, electrical conductivity and thermo-regulation (by trapping heat to maintain thermal equilibrium) [21].
Summary By understanding the trends occurring in the field of electrospinning, it is possible to fully exploit the versatility, exceptional mechanical properties and unique functional properties of polymer nanofibrillar materials.

Introduction The possibility of combining different properties in one material, extending the field of use, has been achieved, and it is steadily improving, with metal matrix composites (MMC) [1].
Important factors affecting the final cost of the material are the type of reinforcement and the process technique.
In the present work, the intensity of mechanical mould vibration is given in units of gravity.
This temperature uniformity will result in a more homogenous microstructure and properties.

Stabilization incorporates the various methods to modify the properties of a soil to improve its mechanical properties.
Mechanical Properties The mechanical laboratory testing was conducted on the peat reinforced with various percentages of rubber chips (RC) at two different sizes and 5% cement content.
Compaction improves the mechanical properties.
The addition of cement induces a hydration process which reacts with water, thus affecting the dry density of the soil.
This is due to the fact that peat is a highly organic and tend to have poor mechanical properties.

And the thermal load is an important factor that controls box deformation to ensure the accuracy and reliability of heavy gear transmission, which can not be ignored.
Heat leads to the components temperature raising and large hot deformation, and gears engage accuracy is affected, then the force on gears engage surface is not homogeneous, it will cause many problems such as driving failure, low reliability, etc [3, 4].
Conclusion The paper established finite element model for heavy mechanical gearbox, and used NASTRAN analysis software to carry out numerical analysis on thermal characteristics.
