Al-Mg-Si alloys are light weight and have excellent corrosion resistance, and are attracting attention as a liner material for high-pressure hydrogen containers in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Because it has excellent plastic hardening properties, it is also applied to car body panel materials, but it is moderate in strength, so research to improve the strength by adding Si-rich or Cu is in progress. So far, the authors have conducted research on the intergranular fracture of alloys with excessive Si addition from the macroscopic mechanical point of view, such as specimen shape. To evaluate their impact tensile properties, the split-Hopkinson bar impact test was performed using thin plate specimens of coarse and fine grain alloys of Al-Mg-X (X = Cr,Si) alloy. The effect of the shape of the specimen on the characteristics was studied through finite element method (FEM) analysis. As a result, it was found that the intergranular fracture of the alloy with excessive Si depended on the specimen width (W)/grain size (d), which can be expressed by the specimen size and grain size. As W/d decreases, the intergranular fracture transforms into a transgranular fracture. As the strain rate increases, the fracture elongation decreases, and the fracture surface of the intergranular fracture becomes more brittle. It was confirmed that intergranular fracture occurred in the high strain rate region even in materials with small grain sizes.

This study reports an experimental and analytical exploration of concrete columns laterally confined with Fe-based shape-memory alloy (Fe-SMA) spirals. For performing experiments, Fe-SMA rebars with a 4% prestrain and diameter of 10 mm were fabricated and concrete columns with internal Fe-SMA spiral reinforcement were constructed with a diameter of 200 mm and height of 600 mm. An acrylic bar with an attached strain gauge was embedded in the center of the specimen to measure local strains. Experimental variables encompassed the Fe-SMA spiral reinforcement, spacing, and activation temperature. Uniaxial compression tests were conducted after applying active confinement to the concrete columns through electrical-resistance heating. Notably, as the Fe-SMA spiral spacing decreased, the local failure zone length and compressive fracture energy of the prepared specimens increased. Additionally, a model incorporating compressive fracture energy was proposed to predict the stress–strain behavior of the. This model, accounting for active and passive confinement effects, demonstrated accurate predictions for the experimental results of this study as well as for previously reported results.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the tensile fracture energy absorption capacity of hybrid fiber reinforced cement composite by strain rate. Experiment result, it was confirmed that PVA suppressed the microcrack around the HSF at the strain rate 101/s, which resulted in the improvement of the pullout resistance of the HSF.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the direct tensile fracture behavior of steel fiber hybrid reinforced cement composite by strain rate. Experiment result, it was confirmed that SSF suppressed the microcrack around the HSF at the strain rate 101/s, which resulted in the improvement of the pullout resistance of the HSF.

본 논문에서는 압축파괴에너지를 이용하여 고강도 구속콘크리트에 대한 응력-변형률 모델을 제안하였다. 참고문헌[5]에서 저자가 실시한 압축실험에는 변형률 게이지를 부착한 아크릴 막대를 실험체의 중앙부에 매립하여 압축부재의 국부 변형률 측정을 시도하였다. 이 아크릴 막대를 이용한 국부 변형률 측정은 매우 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 압축파괴영역길이는 아크릴 막대로부터 측정된 국부 변형률 분포에 기초하여 정의되었다. 구체적으로, 구속콘크리트의 국소파괴영역길이는 압축강도 발현시의 변형률 εcc의 2배 이상 변형률이 증가하는 영역으로 정의하였다. 또한, 동일한 횡구속압을 받는 압축부재에 흡수된 에너지양은 부재의 형상이나 크기에 관계없이 일정하다는 가정에서 압축파괴에너지를 도입한 구속콘크리트의 응력-변형률 관계를 제안하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 모델은 본 연구의 실험결과뿐만 아니라 타 연구자들의 실험결과를 대체적으로 잘 예측하는 것으로 나타났다.
