Abstract: Based on two-microphone transfer function method, the measuring method of incident sound power in duct is introduced, The special test equipment is built, and the test and measurement program of incident sound power in duct is written, and effect factors of measurement are analyzed.
The method was used to measure sound absorption coefficient, acoustic impedance of materials and transmission loss of mufflers.
Two material specimens were tested using the two methods, the results of the analytical and numerical uncertainty methods showed good agreement [4].
When M is 0, it is a condition with no flow, acoustic characteristics of materials and mufflers are often tested in this condition.

Abstract.
Earth’s surface shows significant regional differentiation on account of morphological features, force types and the role of nature, material composition and formation age, thus, it forms different landscape patterns, and these spatial patterns to some extent reflect geomorphologic formation and evolution law.
Materials and method Study area.
Since the Mesozoic era the Neocathaysian tectonic system has controlled the deposition of material and the landscape pattern including the topographic and geomorphologic features (Li, 2004).
Fig.3 Maximum elevation value map Fig.4 Minimum elevation value map The classification of landforms mainly include morphology, the composition of the original material, the formation year and so on, the elevation of the geomorphologic surface and the relative local relief of the land surface are the most basic morphological index and they also indicate the landforms’ endogenic force effect and characteristics in macroscopic.

On the other hand, from a practical viewpoint, welding and joining techniques for the UFG steel are indispensable for being used it as structural materials.
However, the material properties of the heat affected zone (HAZ) in the UFG steel weldment fall down less than the base metal due to the grain growth and softening by weld heat input.

Abstract: Ultra-high toughness cementitious composite (UHTCC) exhibits the pseudo-hardening
feature when subjected to tensile load and has high tensile strain capacity of normally up to 3%.
The strain hardening engineered cementitious composite recently proposed by Victor Li [1], is generally regarded as one of the most promising construction materials for controlling crack width of structural elements.
(a)UHTCC (b) concrete (c) steel bar Fig.1 Materials constitutive relationship For steel bar, stress hardening after yielding is not considered.
Based on cracking in the two materials concrete and UHTCC, there are two possible cases for computing the cracking moment of the composite beam.
