탄소섬유보강근을 철근 대체재로 사용하기 위해서 단기 역학적 특성뿐 아니라 장기간 역학적특성에 대한 연구가 필히 수행 되어야 하고 현재도 진행 중이다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 CFRP bar의 지속하중에 대한 저항성을 평가하기 위해 ASTM 기준에 따라 약 1,000시간 동안 탄소섬유보강근 인장강도의 40%를 재하하는 크리프 시험을 진행 후 잔류 인장강도 확인을 위한 추가 인장시험을 진행하였다. 크리프 시험 결과, 탄소섬유보강근의 변형률은 지속하중 하에서 1,000시간 경과 후 하중재하 초기 변형률보다 약 4.9% 상 승하였고 크리프 파괴는 발생하지 않았다. 잔류 인장강도는 일반 인장강도의 95% 수준으로 측정되었고 잔류 탄성계수는 일반 탄성계 수의 85 % 수준이었다. 따라서 본 연구에서 진행한 인장강도의 40 %가 1,000시간 동안 재하되었을 때 탄소섬유보강근은 안전한 것으 로 확인되었다.

Tensile tests and creep tests were carried out at high temperatures on an Al-Al4C3 alloy prepared by mechanical alloying technique. The material contains about 2.0 % carbon and 0.9 % oxygen in mass percent, and the volume fractions of Al4C3 and Al2O3 particles are estimated at 7.4 and 1.4 %, respectively, from the chemical composition. Minimum creep rate decreased steeply near two critical stresses, σcl (the lower critical stress) and σcu (the upper critical stress), with decreasing applied stress at temperatures below 723 K. Instantaneous plastic strain was observed in creep tests above a critical stress, σci, at each test temperature. σcu and σci were fairly close to the 0.2% proof stress obtained by tensile tests at each test temperature. It is thought that σcl and σcu correspond to the microscopic yield stress and the macroscopic yield stress, respectively. The lower critical stress corresponds to the local yield stress needed for dislocations to move in the soft region within subgrains. The creep strain in the low stress range below 723 K arises mainly from the local deformation of the soft region. The upper critical stress is equivalent to the macroscopic yield stress necessary for dislocations within subgrains or in subboundaries; this stress can extensively move beyond subboundaries under a stress above the critical point to yield a macroscopic deformation. At higher temperatures above 773 K, the influence of the diffusional creep increases and the stress exponent of the creep rate decreases.

In this study, solid solution heat treatment of consolidated nickel-based superalloy powders is carried out by hot isotactic pressing. The effects of the cooling rate of salt quenching, and air cooling on the microstructures and the mechanical properties of the specimens are analyzed . The specimen that is air cooled shows the formation of serrated grain boundaries due to their obstruction by the carbide particles. Moreover, the specimen that is salt quenched shows higher strength than the one that is air cooled due to the presence of fine and close-packed tertiary gamma prime phase. The tensile elongation at high temperatures improves due to the presence of grain boundary serrations in the specimen that is air cooled. On the contrary, the specimen that is salt quenched and consists of unserrated grain boundaries shows better creep properties than the air cooled specimen with the serrated grain boundaries, due to the negative creep phenomenon.

Since the 1990s, the second generation of Zirconium alloys containing main alloy compositions of Nb, Sn and Fe have been used as a replacement of Zircaloy-4 (Zr-Sn-Fe-Cr), a first-generation Zirconium alloy, to meet severe and rigorous reactor operating conditions characterized by high-burn-up, high-power and high-pH operations. In this study, the mechanical properties and creep behaviors of Zr-Sn-Fe-Cr and Zr-Nb-Sn-Fe alloys were investigated in a temperature range of 450~500˚C and in a stress range of 80~150 MPa. The mechanical testing results indicate that the yield and tensile strengths of the Zr-Nb-Sn-Fe alloy are slightly higher compared to those of Zr-Sn-Fe-Cr. This can be explained by the second phase strengthening of the β-Nb precipitates. The creep test results indicate that the stress exponent for the steady-state creep rate decreases with the increase in the applied stress. However, the stress exponent of the Zr-Sn-Fe-Cr alloy is lower than that of the Zr-Nb-Sn-Fe alloy in a relatively high stress range, whereas the creep activation energy of the former is slightly higher than that of the latter. This can be explained by the dynamic deformation aging effect caused by the interaction of dislocations with Sn substitutional atoms. A higher Sn content leads to a lower stress exponent value and higher creep activation energy.

NiAI기 산화물 분산강화(Oxide Dispersion Strengthende:ODS)합금을 기계적 합금화 (Mechanical Alloying: MA)방법으로 제조하였으며, 열간압축방법으로 성형하였다. 연이어 단순항온처리에 의한 정상결정립성장과 특성조건에서의 thermomechanical treatment 에 의한 이차재결정화를 유도하였다. 결정립 조대화된 ODSD MA NiAI의 creep 성질 및 이에 조대화된 미세조직은 creep 성질이 저하된 반면, 이차재결정화된 MA NiAI의 creep성질은 크게 향상되었다. 이 creep 성질의 향상은 이차재결정화의 특성인 급격한 결정립의 조대화, 분산상의 성장억제 및 grain aspect ratio의 증가에 기인한 것으로 사료되었다. 이차재결정화된 ODS MA NiAI의 creep또는 glide controlled dislocation creep임을 제시하지만, 전체 creep속도가 결정립 크기 및 grain aspect ratio의 영향을 크게 받은 것을 볼 때, 결정립계 미끄럼기구가 주 creep 기구와 조합되어 MA NiAI의 전체 creep기구에 영향을 준 것으로 추정할 수 있었다.

In order to analysis creep characteristics and elastic recovery of the high-tech fibers for fishing gear materials, creep and elasticity tests were carried out on netting twines made of nylon, kevlar 29 and techmilon respectively. After creep tests, the rupture surface of raw materials was observed by scanning electron microscope(SEM). The results obtained are as follows: 1. Netting twines were arranged in order of creep rupture time as follow: techmilon, kevlar 29, nylon. The creep progressive pace was the fastest in techmilon. 2. In order of the creep elongating, netting twines were arranged as follows: nylon, techmilon, kevlar 29. 3. The rupture time T sub(r) decreased almost linearly with the increase of applied load L on the log-log scaled graph. The empirical equations computed for kevlar 29 and techmilon are as follows: T sub(r kevlar 29)=1.9512×1037L super(-15.773). T sub(r techmilon)=2.7146×1016L super(-6.831). 4. It was observed by SEM that creep was progressed in all netting twines. The difference of rupture morphology was recognized clearly in tensile and creep tests. 5. In order of the elastic recovery, netting twines were arranged as follows: techmilon, kevlar 29, nylon.

Zr-4 used for a cladding and an end plug of reactor component has creep deformation under operation at high temperature. Creep is regarded as the time dependent deformation of a material under constant applied stress. Although the major source of the deformation of zirconium component in water-cooled reactors is irradiation creep, the thermal creep may give a rise to significant deformation in reactor component especially at relatively high temperatures and at various constant stresses, and therefore it must be predicted accurately. Stress relaxation is the time dependent change of stress at constant strain and it is a process related intimately to creep. In this paper, the creep behavior and stress relaxation of Zr-4 is examined at the temperature of 500℃ that is 40% of the absolute melting temperature of Zr-4 under the stress below yield stress and under the various constant strains. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1) With an increase of stress, the steady state creep rate increases and the creep rupture time decreases. 2) The steady state creep rate ε(%/s) for the stress Σsub(c) (kgf/mm super(2)) of Zr-4 increases outstandingly. All the empirical equations computed for Zr-4 increases outstandingly. All the empirical equations computed for Zr-4 are in accord with Norton's model equation(ε=KΣ sub(c) super (n)). The constants of materials computed are as follows: K=3.9881×10 super(-5), n=1.9608 3) The rupture time T sub(r) (hr) decreases linearly with the increase of stress on the log-log scaled graph. The empirical equations computed for Zr-4 are in accord with Bailey's model equation (T sub(r)=K sub(1)Σsub(c) super(m)). The constants of materials computed are as follows: K sub(1)=1.2875×10 super(16), m=-3.467 4) It seems clear that the strain could be quantitatively dependent on the high temperature creep properties such as creep stress, rupture time, steady state creep rate and total creep rate. It is found that these relationships are linear on the log-log graph. 5) In stress relaxation test, as the critical constant strain that can be allowed to the specimen is larger, stress relaxation becomes more rapid, and as the constant strain is smaller, the stress relaxation becomes slower.

유동화 콘크리트의 건조수축 및 크리프 특성을 검토하기 위하여 유동화제 2종류와 일반감수제 1종류를 사용하여 재하 하중조건(압축강도의 15% 및 30%)별, 양생조건별로 압축강도 및 건조수축을 측정하고 기건상태하의 크리프 및 크리프변형을 측정하여 유동화 콘크리트의 장기 변형특성을 검토하였다. 그 결과, 유동화 콘크리트는 보통 콘크리트에 비하여 재령 28일의 압축강도는 약 22% 증가하였고, 건조수축은 15% 감소하였으며, 크리프변형은 약 11% 감소하였고 28일간의 크리프회복은 보통 콘크리트에 비하여 작음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 사용목적에 따른 적절한 유동화제의 선택과 적정량의 유동화제 사용은 건조수축 및 크리프변형에 효과적인 것으로 판단된다.
