The hardenability of boron steel specimens with different molybdenum and chromium contents was investigated using dilatometry and microstructural observations, and then was quantitatively measured at a critical cooling rate corresponding to 90 % martensite hardness obtained from a hardness distribution plotted as a function of cooling rate. Based on the results, the effect of an austenitizing temperature on the hardenability and tensile properties was discussed in terms of segregation and precipitation behavior of boron atoms at austenite grain boundaries. The molybdenum addition completely suppressed the formation of pro-eutectoid ferrite even at the slowest cooling rate of 0.2 oC/s, while the chromium addition did at the cooling rates above 3 oC/s. On the other hand, the hardenability of the molybdenum-added boron steel specimens decreased with an increasing austenitizing temperature. This is associated with the preferred precipitation of boron atoms since a considerable number of boron atoms could be concentrated along austenite grain boundaries by a non-equilibrium segregation mechanism. The secondary ion mass spectroscopy results showed that boron atoms were mostly segregated at austenite grain boundaries without noticeable precipitation at higher austenitization temperatures, while they formed as precipitates at lower austenitization temperatures, particularly in the molybdenum-added boron steel specimens.
This study investigates the property of crack growth at the specimen of structural steel. The behaviour of fracture mechanics on the specimens with only a center crack and with holes existed symmetrically near a center crack is studied. The tensile load is applied on the specimens with these conditions. Stress intensity factors are obtained by the basis of these experimental values and these values are verified with the structural analysis of finite element method. As the length of center crack becomes larger in case of the specimen with holes existed symmetrically near a center crack, the values of deformation energy and stress become larger. On the contrary, the values of deformation energy and stress become smaller as the length of center crack becomes larger in case of the specimen with only a center crack. By examining the stress intensity factor in this study, this value becomes rather smaller although the length of center crack becomes larger. There is the position where crack is likely to happen or weak part at the mechanical structure or the machine. As the holes are punctured and arranged adequately near this crack or weak part by using the result of this study, the fracture due to it can be prevented.
This study investigated the microstructure and tensile properties of a recently made block-type Ni-Cr-Al powder porous material. The block-type powder porous material was made by stacking multiple layers of powder porous thin plates with post-processing such as additional compression and sintering. This study used block-type powder porous materials with two different cell sizes: one with an average cell size of 1,200 μm (1200 foam) and the other with an average cell size of 3,000 μm (3000 foam). The γ-Ni and γ’-Ni3Al were identified as the main phases of both materials. However, in the case of the 1,200 foam, a β-NiAl phase was additionally observed. The relative density of each block-type powder porous material, with 1200 foam and 3000 foam, was measured to be 5.78% and 2.93%, respectively. Tensile tests were conducted with strain rates of 10−2~10−4 sec−1. The test result showed that the tensile strength of the 1,200 foam was 6.0~7.1 MPa, and that of 3,000 foam was 3.0~3.3 MPa. The elongation of the 3,000 foam was higher (~9%) than that (~2%) of the 1,200 foam. This study also discussed the deformation behavior of block-type powder porous material through observations of the fracture surface, with the results above.
These days, the Composite Slabs with Deep deck plate was commonly used in domestic construction site, and, the application of the Slim Floor system was increased from the Enlargement and High-rise Building. But, Slim Floor system using the deep deck was shown safety problem caused by the deflection and local buckling in construction phase when used to more than 6m. Therefore, for solving the problem, the installation of the shores is essential. This study is realize the long span slab without shores from control the deflection through applied the pre-tensioning elements in cap deck. In addition, by applying the pre-tensioning member as the tensile member of the Cap Deck composite slab, the pre-tensioning member for the shores tries to be used as the structural member. Accordingly, to determine the flexural performance of the Cap deck composite slab through the pre-tensioning force in tensile member, and, the composite effect of the cap deck composite slab by the experiments.
Compared to steel of the same weight in steel concrete structures, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) is known to have greater strength and better resistance to corrosion. As such, it is being proposed as an effective structural material. Despite its many advantages, FRP has not been rapidly adopted in civil structures. This is because it is more expensive, prone to brittle fracture, and has weak fire resistance. To examine changes in the mechanical properties of FRP and the effectiveness of fire resistant coating, this study conducted tensile tests on coated and uncoated specimens over varying temperature. Glass fiber has excellent fire resistance since it does not melt or burn at high temperatures. However, epoxy is unable to withstand exposure to temperatures exceeding the transition temperature, thus leading to unsatisfactory structural performance and fire resistance. This study investigated the behavioral changes in FRP by exposing the specimens to temperatures ranging from room temperature (approx. 25℃) to 300℃, so as to improve the fire resistance of epoxy.
In this paper, we study the calculation for the fracture area of the tension specimens using digital image processing techniques. This study was able to calculate the area of the fracture region on the basis of improved image. To extract the area in the original image, we have to use opening operation, close operation, the Hit-or-Miss operation and Bottom hat filter, Top hat filter, etc. In particular, to extract the area of the composite specimen discussed in this study, we have to use the combination of the operations and filters because it is non-isotropic material, or should develop a new algorithm based on it.

PURPOSES : This study was performed to evaluate the possibility of Indirect Tensile Strength (ITS) as a testing method that can predict cracking on pavement. METHODS: Three asphalt binders and one kind of aggregate were used in this study, and all asphalt mixtures were produced using Gyratory Compactor followed asphalt mix design. The ITS test was performed for the mixture which are artificially short-term aged using the oven. The ITS properties were analyzed by air void, compaction temperature, asphalt content, and asphalt binder. RESULTS: The results of this study indicated that (1) the compaction temperature did not show relationship with the ITS test; (2) there was no specific trend between the asphalt content and the ITS test; (3) the ITS could reveal the property of kinds of asphalt binders; (4) the asphalt mixture that were produced at optimum temperature suggested by manufacturer did not exhibit optimum result for all asphalt binder. CONCLUSIONS : The possibility of ITS was confirmed from this study for replacement of the Marshall Stability method. However, it needs to perform in further studies of aggregate and compaction property to suggest a new ITS standard value.
This study is experimentally investigated whether or not a relationship exists between the mechanical properties anddamping capacity of cold-rolled 316L stainless steel. Deformation-induced martensite was formed with surface relief anddirectionality. With the increasing degree of deformation, the volume fraction of ε- martensite increased, and then decreased,while α'- martensite increased rapidly. With an increasing degree of deformation, tensile strength was increased, and elongationwas decreased; however, damping capacity was increased, and then decreased. Tensile strength and elongation were affectedin the α'- martensite; hence, damping capacity was influenced greatly by ε- martensite. Thus, there was no proportionalrelationship between strength, elongation, and damping capacity.
Partially earth anchored (PEA) can improve the structural safety and economic feasibility of multiple span cable stayed bridge (CSB). The PEA-CSB can restrain axial compressive load acting on a tower and reduce the global buckling length of a stiffened girder. For these reasons, structural members subject to axial forces can be effectively utilized and material quantity required for a steel deck can be reduced to save construction cost. In this study, the PEA system was verified for its application on a multiple span CSB. The CSB is a four-tower multi-span bridge which has a main span length of 500 m. As high tensile stress was generated at the top of the bridge decks at the mid-span between two main columns, a hybrid deck system for enhancing the bridge deck sections was proposed. While the composite sections made of concrete and steel were used near to the main columns, steel sections were used at the mid-span between two main columns.
Over the past few decades, high-nitrogen austenitic steels have steadily received greater attention since they provide a unique combination of high strength and ductility, good corrosion resistance, and non-magnetic properties. Recently, highnitrogen 18Mn-18Cr austenitic steels with enhanced strength have been developed and widely used for generator retaining rings in order to prevent the copper wiring from being displaced by the centrifugal forces occurring during high-speed rotation. The high-nitrogen austenitic steels for generator retaining ring should be expanded at room temperature and then stress relief annealed at around 400˚C to achieve the required mechanical properties. In this study, four kinds of high-nitrogen 18Mn-18Cr austenitic steels with different nitrogen content were fabricated by using a pressurized vacuum induction melting furnace, and then the effects of nitrogen content, cold working, and stress relieving on tensile properties were investigated. The yield and tensile strengths increased proportionally with increasing nitrogen content and cold working, and they further increased after stress relieving treatment. Based on these results, a semi-empirical equation was proposed to predict the tensile strength of highnitrogen 18Mn-18Cr austenitic steels for generator retaining rings. It will be a useful for the effective fabrication of high-nitrogen 18Mn-18Cr austenitic steels for generator retaining rings with the required tensile properties.
A5J32-T4 and A5052-H32 dissimilar aluminum alloy plates with thickness of 1.6 and 1.5 mm were welded by friction stir lap welding (FSLW). The FSLW were studied using different probe length tool and various welding conditions which is rotation speed of 1000, 1500 rpm and welding speed of 100 to 600 mm/min and material arrangement, respectively. The effects of plunge depth of tool and welding conditions on tensile properties and weld nugget formation. The results showed that three type nugget shapes such as hooking, void, sound have been observed with revolutionary pitch. This plunge depth and material arrangement were found to effect on the void and hooking for- mation, which in turn significantly influenced the mechanical properties. The maximum joint efficiency of the FSLWed plates was about 90% compared to base metal, A5052-H32 when the A5052-H32 was positioned upper plate and plunge depth was positioned at near interface between upper and lower plates.
본 연구에서는 GaN 나노와이어의 인장, 압축, 하중 제거 전산모사를 분자동역학 방법을 통하여 수행하였고, 평형 분자 동역학 방법인 Green-Kubo 방법을 이용하여 각각의 변형된 구조의 나노와이어의 열전도율을 구하였다. 단면의 형상이 육 각형이고, 길이 방향이 [0001] 격자 방향으로 형성된 나노와이어에 인장 하중이 작용하게 되면 나노와이어의 원자 구조는 초기의 wurtzite 구조에서 정방정계 구조로 변형된다. 초기 상태에 압축 하중이 작용하는 경우에는 상변이 현상은 나타나 지 않는다. 압축에서 인장으로 변형률이 증가함에 따라 나노와이어의 열전도율은 감소하는 경향을 나타낸다. 이 같은 열전 도율의 변화는 변형률에 따른 포논의 감쇠시간 감소에 의한 것이다. 인장에 의해 변형된 정방정계 구조의 나노와이어에서 인장 하중을 제거하는 경우에는 초기의 wurtzite 구조로의 역상변이 현상이 나타나고, 이와 같은 역상변이 과정에 wurtzite 구조와 정방정계 구조가 동시에 나타나는 중간 단계가 존재한다. 중간 단계의 열전도율은 같은 변형률에서 wurtzite 구조 일 때보다 낮은 특성을 갖는다. 내부 원자 구조에 따른 열전도율의 차이는 구조적 변형에 의한 포논의 군속도 변화에 따른 것이다.

The microstructure and tensile properties of Al-Mn/Al-Si hybrid aluminum alloys prepared by electromagnetic duocasting were investigated. Only the Al-Mn alloy showed the typical cast microstructure of columnar and equiaxed crystals. The primary dendrites and eutectic structure were clearly observed in the Al-Si alloy. There existed a macro-interface of Al-Mn/Al-Si alloys in the hybrid aluminum alloys. The macro-interface was well bonded, and the growth of primary dendrites in Al-Si alloy occurred from the macro-interface. The Al-Mn/Al-Si hybrid aluminum alloys with a well-bonded macro-interface showed excellent tensile strength and 0.2% proof stress, both of which are comparable to those values for binary Al-Mn alloy, indicating that the strength is preferentially dominated by the deformation of the Al-Mn alloy side. However, the degree of elongation was between that of binary Al-Mn and Al-Si alloys. The Al-Mn/Al-Si hybrid aluminum alloys were fractured on the Al-Mn alloy side. This was considered to have resulted from the limited deformation in the Al-Mn alloy side, which led to relatively low elongation compared to the binary Al-Mn alloy.
