A thin film sensor, due to its piezoelectric properties, upon hitting the object, the direct mechanical stress on the film would cause the film to polarize and generate voltage.
The hysteresis loop was then used to determine ferroelectric parameters Pmax, Pr and Vc; Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) was used to determine the factors affecting the ferroelectric properties of samples. 3.
Piezoelectric properties are difficult to be measured directly, but are estimated based on the measured ferroelectric properties.
A high polarization in ferroelectric analysis suggests a higher voltage generated due to piezoelectric properties with the application of mechanical stress.
After factoring in the relative significance of the two important factors needed for a tactile sensor application, we conclude that the PSZT-PZT films perform better than PZT-PSZT films.

From the results, the UV light treatment affects the wettability properties of the anodised titanium without changing its microstructure and surface morphology.
This is due to the excellent mechanical properties of titanium such as high corrosion resistance, good mechanical properties, lightweight, and biocompatibility [2].
There are various factors that can affect the changes on phase formation of the titanium oxide such as type and concentration of electrolyte, applied voltage, current density, temperature, agitation speed, and surface area ratio [14-16].
So, the UV treatment is not contributing on the factors that can affect the phase changes on the titanium oxide as the UV light only affect the OH group of the specimen [8-10].
The Fig.3 also shows that the UV-A wave type produced more hydrophilic properties than UV-C.

A strong degradation of the mechanical properties is observed for temperatures higher than 275 °C.
The carbide precipitation in martensite can have a detrimental effect in mechanical properties when the material is tested at room temperature, but if carbides stay small enough no consequences in mechanical properties at room temperature would be observed.

Overview of the investigations Samples were taken out from the leaking pipeline system, and following characteristics were determined: · long term corrosion potential, corrosion rate, electrochemical impedance, pitting potential (provoked by chloride ions and ferric chloride), · bulk and local chemical composition (EDX, LA-ICP-MS), deposit composition, · mechanical properties, · microstructures (OM, SEM, EBSD), · microbiological effect (fluorescence microscopy).
Results of the chemical composition and mechanical properties determination The chemical composition values, the mechanical properties determined by tensile tests, the features of non-metallic inclusions (content and composition), the phases simulated by JMatPro as well as by Calphad with special regard to δ-ferrite content were all in compliance with the standard values.
Results of the microstructure investigations The microstructure investigations were focused on the influencing factors of pitting corrosion on austenitic stainless steels.
The complexity of the problem is demonstrated by the fact that some welds with heat tint did not show damage which suggests that not only the presence of an oxide layer, but other most likely operating factors (stagnation of medium) are necessary for initiating corrosion.
Description of the precise degradation mechanism requires knowledge and consideration of all influencing factors and their relationship.

The major influence of freeze-thaw damage is the mechanical properties of concrete including compressive, tensile and shear strength, elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio, etc.
There are two factors affecting the durability of concrete: from external view, are freezing speed and temperature, freeze-thaw cycles; from the internal perspective, are air-content of concrete, water-cement ratio, cement type and varieties of raw materials.
Guizhen Duan [3] summarizes the change rules of mechanical properties of the concrete after freeze-thaw damage, and analyses the main factors affecting the durability of concrete.
Conclusions According to the test results, the following conclusions can be obtained: (1) Mechanical properties including compressive strength, elastic modulus of concrete have significantly impact with the increase in the number of freeze-thaw cycles

The surface roughness , surface residual stress and work hardening constitute the three major factors affecting the quality of the workpiece surface [1].The surface roughness as an important factor in precision machinery manufacturing has aroused widespread concern [2].
Surface roughness largely determine the performance of various aspects of the use of parts, such as the contact stiffness, abrasion, corrosion, and fatigue properties.So study the formation mechanism of surface roughness, and establish the mechanical model of roughness has a certain practical significance.
The surface roughness equation, (7) This roughness mechanical model indicates that the surface roughness is influenced by the nose radius, cutting edge radius, elastic modulus, cutting force, flow stress,and material hardness.The mechanical model of the surface roughness is covering most of factors,so for the prediction of surface roughness has a higher accuracy.
The mechanical model does not take into account the factors - tool wear, flutter and other aspects.In the future research ,we need to establish a more perfect mechanical model.
