Full Paper Manuscript Preparation Instructions
It is strongly recommended that authors use the Template to format their papers. The template includes
all items with proper format such as headings, fonts, and spacing. Simply begin typing in the appropriate
sections, removing instructional and descriptive text.
Use Microsoft Word to prepare your document.

The paper must be clearly written in English and have originality. It has been neither copyrighted,
published, nor under contribution for publication elsewhere.
Color figures/tables are available only in CD journal so journal booklets and reprints will be printed allin monochrome.
In the paper title, the first letter of a word other than prepositions, conjunctions and articles are all capitalletters including hyphen-connected words.
1. Style of manuscript

2. Preparation of manuscript
2.1 Title(1) The title of the paper should reflect the contents suitably and concisely. Sequential numbered titlingshould be avoided.
(2) Abbreviated symbols, if not conventionally used, should be avoided.
(3) Description of element symbols·When an element name is used as a symbol of material, the use of element symbols should be avoided
and the name of the element should be fully spelled out.

·When the element name is used as a chemical symbol or adjectively used, the element symbol can beused.

(4) Expressions such as "Study on" or "On the" should be avoided as the start of the title.
(5) Definite articles and indefinite articles should be avoided as much as possible.
(6) Capitalize the first letter of each word other than prepositions, conjunctions and articles.
2.2 Description of author(s)Both the first name and last name should be written out fully. Middle names can be abbreviated.
2.3 Description of affiliation(s)(1) When authors belong to different research organizations, each organization should be designated bysuperscript numbers, in the form 1,2 etc. The name of the department, name of the organization, andthe address (city only) should be fully written out and should be separated by commas. The postal zip
code and country name should also be given.
(2) The name of the research organization should be given under the names of the authors.
(3) When an author's present affiliation is different from the name of the organization in which theresearch was performed, it should be expressed as a footnote using an asterisk.
(4) For graduate students and undergraduate students, the affiliation should be expressed as a footnote
using an asterisk

2.4 Abstract
The abstract should give readers concise information about the content of the article and indicate themain results obtained and conclusions drawn. It should be self-contained with no reference to figures,tables, equations or bibliographic references.

2.5 Keywords
Except for proper nouns, all letters should be small letters.
(1) It is advisable to select keywords from the title and abstract, since these contain important words.
However, keywords can also be selected from other parts of the manuscript.
(2) Keywords should be selected so as to be concrete meaningful words with as narrow definition as
possible.
Critical, Stress Æcritical stressLifeÆtool life, fatigue life(3) Use keywords in noun form
Studied experimentallyÆ experimental study(4) Name of elements, name of chemicals, name of compounds and so forth should be fully spelled out
instead of using the symbol of the element.
CrMo steelÆchromium molybdenum steel
E→Young's modulus, modulus of longitudinal elasticity(5) Simplified symbols and abbreviated forms cannot be used.
ESRÆelectro-slag remelting, electro-spin resonance(6) Use of compounded words and phrases should be avoided unless they are commonly used.
(7) Be careful not to omit popular words.
(8) In case that the authors have difficulty deciding whether to include a word or not, please select themas keywords.

Major heading:1., 2.,···

Sub-heading:

2.7 Tables and figures
2.7.1 Tables (see example in the Template)(1) Tables should be placed as closely to the first reference in the text. Please make sure that each tableappears clearly. Tables should be numbered consecutively, and Arabic numerals should be used.
(2) Table caption should be centered above the Table, starting with a capital letter and ending with aperiod.
(3) Headings in the Table should begin with a capital letter.
(4) The size of table text is 10 point or bigger.
2.7.2 Figures (including photographs) (see example in the Template)(1) General instructions:1) Figures should be sequentially numbered in the following manner: Figure 1, Figure 2. If a figure isdivided into several parts, each part should be labeled as follows: (a), (b), (c).
2) The locations of (a), (b), (c) are in the same position for each part shown below for example.

3) Figure captions should be written below the figure, starting with a capital letter and ending with aperiod.
4) The original photograph should not be of a once-half-tone type. Clear contrast, and vivid lines andcontours are required. The quality of photos should be good enough to review.
(2) Drawing instructions:
Please confirm that figures are printed clearly before submitting your manuscript. Please note thatthe hard copy will be printed in black and white.

2.7.3 Expression of physical quantities in figures and tables
Expression of the quantity symbol is required.
In the Figures and Tables, physical quantities should be expressed with use of the quantity symbol asshown in the following Figure.
The angle should be expressed as 10°, 20°...
Physical Quantity, Symbol(in Roman letter)/ Unit(in Italic) (in Roman)e.g.) Time, t / s
Temperature, T / K
Current Density, I / A·m-2
Residual Stress, σ / MPa
2.8 Numerical equation

Numerical equations in the main text should be expressed as, for example, x/3,a/(b + c) instead of.
The exponential symbol should be expressed as “exp”, if possible.
The expression of 4*10-2 is used instead of 4 ·10-2.

,

2.9 Decimal point and thousand-unit comma
The decimal point for numerals should be put at the lower level of a numeral.
The thousand-unit comma should not be used to prevent confusion with decimal points.
2.10 Unit
Use International System of Units (SI - MKSA) as primary units.
2.11 Numerical, Roman and Greek letters used for Tables and numerical equations
Examples: quantity symbols:
length; l, area; A, S, volume; V, v, pressure; P, force; F, time; t, vector; A, a,scientific constants; N, kmathematical symbols exponential function; exp(when expressed by e, it is printed in italic letters)
natural logarithms; ln x
general logarithms; log x
sine; sin
cosine; costangent; tan
2.12 Acknowledgments
Acknowledgments should be made at the end of the manuscript, leaving an interval of one line after
the body of the text. Financial assistance, the use of apparatus and the receipt of research funding andso on, should all be acknowledged in this section.

2.13 Appendix
Tables and Figures and equation numbers in the Appendix, should be numbered separately from thenumbering in the main text, by writing: A1, A2, etc.
2.14 Footnotes and References(1) No footnotes are allowed in the main text. Comments and notes are to be shown in the references.
(2) Citation of references should be made sequentially, in the form 1, 2) or 3-6). List of References shouldbe attached.
(3) One reference number should correspond to one reference. Even if another reference of the sameauthor is cited, allocate a different reference number and do not use the expression, “ibid”.
(4) A reference is described in the order: names of authors (no need for comma before “and”), theabbreviated name of the journal, volume number (year), page. Volume numbers should be expressed
in Gothic type, and the names of books in italics. The abbreviation of foreign journals should follow
the ISO standard.
(5) When there are less than 15 authors, all of the names should be given, instead of using “et al”.
