This study investigates the effect of fatigue stress on the damping capacity in a damaged Fe-22Mn-12Cr-3Ni-2Si- 4Co damping alloy under fatigue stress. α’ and ε-martensite forms by fatigue stress in the damaged Fe-22Mn-12Cr-3Ni-2Si- 4Co damping alloy under fatigue stress. The α’ and ε-martensite forms with the specific direction and surface relief, or they cross each other. With an increasing fatigue stress, the volume fraction of α’-martensite and ε-martensite increases. With an increasing fatigue stress, the damping capacity increases with an increase in the volume fraction of ε-martensite. The increase in the damping capacity in the damaged Fe-22Mn-12Cr-3Ni-2Si-4Co alloy under fatigue stress strongly affects the increase of ε-martensite formed by fatigue stress, but the damping capacity of the damaged Fe-22Mn-12Cr-3Ni-2Si-4Co damping alloy under fatigue stress is strongly controlled by a large amount of α’-martensite.

To investigate a safety margin in the design of structural plant, plastic collaspse behaviors of statically indeterminate beams were numerically as the preliminary study. Through the calculations, it was revealed that the ultimate strength of statically indeterminate beams is much higher than that of statically determinate beams.

Recently carbon fiber reinforced plastic(CFRP) has been used structural materials in corrosive environment such as for water, chemical tank and chemical pipes. However, mechanical properties of such materials may change when CFRP are exposed to corrosive environment for long periods of time. Therefore, it is important to understand the effect of moisture absorption on mechanical properties of the CFRP. In this study, degradation behavior of immersed carbon fiber/epoxy resin composite material was investigated using acoustic emission(AE) technique. Fracture toughness test are performed on the compact tension(CT) test specimens that are pilled by two types of laminates [0˚2/90˚2]3s and [0˚2/90˚2]6sDuring the fracture toughness test, AE test was carried out to monitor the damage of CFRP by moisture absorption. In spite of the change of moisture absorption rate, the fracture toughness of CFRP was not change. As immersion time increased, AE event count numbers decreased in low amplitude range of AE for amplitude distribution histogram. The event in low amplitude range was known to be generated by debonding of matrix-fiber interface. Therefore, decrease of AE event count numbers in low amplitude range represents that debonding of matrix-fiber interface which was probably generated by moisture absorption.

The study was conducted to evaluate reliability of the longitudinal tensile properties of unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced composites. Two kinds of carbon fiber reinforced composites laminates were tested in order to examine the factors of variability and have the information concerning reliability improvement. Temperature dependence of the strength and its variability were investigated by means of testing at two kinds of temperatures. Statistical distributions of the respective mechanical properties were obtained from the tensile tests. As a result, strength of composites was directly proportional to the ultimate strain and was not proportional to the elastic modulus. The fracture behavior in bending of notched plate was studied for a composite material. The uniform bending tests of notched plates have been carried out for a wide range of notch radii. The experiment shows that the nominal stress at failure decreased with decreasing notch radius and it approaches a constant value when the notch radius is less than about 0.3mm. The critical maximum stress is governed by notch root radius alone in the case of a constant thickness of specimen.

Fatigue life and penetration behavior were examined analytically by variety of initial front face crack length and initial crack depth. The fatigue crack shape before penetration is almost semielliptical, and the aspect ratio by calculation using the Newman-Raju's formula is smaller than the value obtained by the experiment. It is found that the crack growth behavior on the back surface after penetration is unique and can be divided into three stage a, b and c. By using the K value proposed by the authors, particular crack growth behavior and the change in crack shape can be evaluated quantitatively. It is found that fatigue life and penetration behavior were more dependent on initial front face crack length than initial crack depth.

The high stress, low cycle fatigue test were carried out on HT80 plates with artificial part-through notch. The LBB conditions by the net section stress approach was examined in detail. Finite element methods for the state of deformation were also applied and the results were compared with the results from experiments. From the test results, it was noted that the LBB condition in fatigue test was dependent upon the maximun load change before and after the crack penetration. The LBB criterion By the net section stress approach were slightly dependent on initial crack size. It was shown that the state of deformation can be used to predict whether the component is likely to show LBB condition or they will be broken rapidly.

최근 각 방면의 해양개발에 대한 관심이 높아짐에 따라 해양구조물의 가공 및 보수수단으로서 수중용접기술의 개발연구가 선진국 등에서 시작되고 있으나 국내에서는 아직 이 방면의 연구를 찾아 볼 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 두께 10 mm의 국산구조용강판(SM41A)에 대하여 자작한 중력식용접장치에 의하여 6종의 국산피복아아크용접봉을 써서 수중용접을 실시하여 그 용접성을 조사하였고, 각 계통의 용접봉의 실용성을 검토하였다. 중요연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 운봉비가 1일 때 용접봉의 각도 40˚, 60˚, 80˚인 경우 용접봉각도가 비이드(bead) 외관에 큰 영향을 미치지 않는다. 2. 용접봉직경이 일정할 때 용접전류의 증가에 따라 입열량이 증가하므로 비이드 외관에 큰 영향을 미치나 용접봉직경에 대한 각 적정전류에서의 비이드외관은 양호하게 나타난다. 3. 수중용접에서 고산화티탄계 용접봉을 사용하였을 경우, 적정용접전류와 직경 사이에는 상관성이 존재하며, 그 적정용접전류의 범위는 비교적 넓다. 4. 저수소계 및 고셀롤로우스계 용접봉을 제외한 4종(일미나이트계, 라임티타니아계, 고산화티탄계, 철분산화철계)의 경우, 용접봉의 안정한 수중아아크가 유지되고, 양호한 수중용접이 얻어졌다. 특히 라임티타니아계, 고산화티탄계 및 일미나이트계는 용접결함이 없는 양호한 수중용접이 가능하다. 5. 수중용접부에 대한 매크로(macro)조직과 미시현미경조직은 마르텐사이트와 베이나이트조직을 나타내고, 그 외는 미세한 페라이트, 퍼얼라이트조직으로서 용접결함이 없는 양호한 용접부를 갖는다. 6. 시험표면층인 3층, 4층 및 6층 용접에서의 본드부근의 열영향부에 각각 경도의 피이크가 있으며, 그 외의 부분은 대체로 경도가 균일함이 확인되었다.
