The fatigue damage of compressor blade steel KMN-I was investigated using nonlinear ultrasonic testing and the relation curve between the material nonlinearity parameter β and the fatigue life was obtained. The results showed that the nonlinearity parameter increased first and then decreased with the increase of the fatigue cycles. The microstructures were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that some small defects like holes and pits appeared in the material matrix with the increase of the fatigue cycles, and the nonlinearity parameter increased correspondingly. The nonlinearity parameter reached the peak value when the microcracks initiated, and the nonlinearity parameter began to decrease when the microcracks further propagated to macrocracks. Therefore, it is proved that the nonlinearity parameter can be used to characterize the initiation of microcracks at the early stage of fatigue, and a method of evaluating the fatigue life of materials by nonlinear ultrasonic testing is proposed.

Photoconductive and photorefractive characteristics of fullerene- and nanotubes-doped organic thin films based on conjugated organics, such as polyimide, polyaniline, pyridine, etc. have been studied. In addition, the liquid crystal mesophase with nanoobjects has been investigated. The increase of the charge carrier mobility of nanosensitized organics has been established. The nonlinear refraction and cubic nonlinearity have been investigated at wavelength of 532 nm via four-wave mixing technique using Raman-Nath diffraction regime. The thin holographic grating has been written at the spatial frequencies placed in the range of 90-150 mm-1. The energy density has been chosen in the range of 0.1-0.9 J × cm -2. The correlation between photoconductive and nonlinear optical parameters has been revealed. The nanostructured materials can be proposed for different area of nano- and microelectronic applications.
