The indentation process in the Vickers hardness test is a kind of controlled local plastic deformation. Vickers hardness is defined as indenting force per unit area indented by a pyramid-shaped diamond at the hardness test. That is a measure of mechanical resistance against indentation of a rigid body into the deformable material. Therefore it is well known that Vickers hardness has a direct relation with the flow stress of the strain-hardened tmaterial. This relation is theoretically investigated and the result is given for use in practice.

Measurement methods in order to measure the mechanical properties nondestructively have been studied. The mechanical properties of the structural and turbine rotor steels are related with their magnetic properties. If the magnetic properties of the cold rolled carbon steel sheet (CR) for a car are measured nondestructively, its mechanical properties are analogized by their magnetic properties. And then the mechanical properties are monitored on-line by measuring the magnetic properties. We prepared three CR materials, CBQ 3060, CBQ 3041, and CBQ 3036, were prepared in order to measure their mechanical and magnetic properties. The Vickers hardness,yield strength, and tensile strength were measured by ASTM E 8M, and the reversible magnetic permeability was measured by the surface type probe. The coercivity calculated by the peak interval of reversible magnetic permeability increased linearly with the increase of Vickers hardness, yield strength, and tensile strength. The amplitude of the peak interval of reversible magnetic permeability drastically decreased when the lift-off was increased.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the antibacterial effect of functional multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) on the conventional glass ionomer cement(GIC). The MWCNT was incorporated into a commercial powder at 0.125, 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0 wt%. Specimens for vickers hardness(VHN) disks(Ø$10mm{\times}2mm$) each were prepared. Indention were made using a load of 200 N and 20 s dwell on four specimens for each distilled water storage time 1d, 7d, and 14days. The antibacterial effects using agar diffusion test with S. mutans and S. aureus. The diameters of the inhibition zones produced around the materials were measured. The results revealed that all the vickers hardness values were increase significantly with incubation time(p<0.05). Regarding the antibacterial effect for S. mutans, all the tested groups showed a slightly higher value not significantly with the control group(p<0.05). However S. aureus statistical analysis indicated a significant difference for antibacterial agents between control and MWCNT containing 0.25 wt%(p<0.05). These results of this study provide that the conventional GIC with containing MWCNT show good antibacterial effect against and favorable mechanical properties. Further this study on the efficient functionalization of multiwall carbon nanotube will be needed.

Interrupted creep tests were carried out on the Mod.9Cr-1Mo steel in order to investigate the structural degradation during creep. The ranges of creep stress and temperature were from 71 to 167MPa and 873 to 923k, respectively. The change of hardness and tempered martensitic lath width were measured in the grip and gauge parts of interrupted specimens. The lath structure was thermally stable in static conditions, but was not stable during creep, and the structural evolution was enhanced by creep strain. The relation between the change in lath width and strain was described in the from, $\delta$W= a ($W_s-W_o$)$cdot;varepsilon$, where $\varepsilon$ is the strain, $W_o$is the initial lath width, $W_s$ is the final lath width depending solely on stress, and a is the constant of the magnitude of 0.67 $\mu$m /strain. The change in Victors hardness was expressed by a one-valued function of creep life consumption ratio. Based on the empirical relation between strain and lath width, a model was proposed to explain the relation between change in hardness and creep life consumption ratio. The model revealed that about 65$%$ of dislocations in lath structures were eliminated by the migration of subboundaries.

In the present study, the Weibull statistical analysis using the Monte-Carlo simulation has been performed to investigate the micro-Vickers hardness measurement reliability considering the variability. Experimental indentation test were performed with a micro-Vickers hardness tester for as-received and quenching and tempering specimens in SCM440 steels. The distribution of micro-Vickers hardness is found to be 2-parameter Weibull distribution function. The mean values and coefficients of variation (COV) for both data set are compared with results based on Weibull statistical analysis. Finally, Monte-Carlo simulation was performed in order to evaluate the effect of sample size on the micro-Vickers hardness measurement reliability. For the parent distribution with shape parameter 30.0 and scale parameter 200.0 (COV=0.040), the number of sample data required to obtain the true Weibull parameters was founded by 20. For the parent distribution with shape parameter 10.0 and scale parameter 200.0 (COV=0.1240), the number of sample data required to obtain the true Weibull parameters was founded by 30.

고온 사용 설비의 잔여수명을 진단하는 비파괴적인 여러 가지 방법 중에서 현장에서 간단히 측 정을 함으로써 경년열화 정도를 비교적 쉽게 알아낼 수 있는 경도법에 대하여 살펴보았다. 이 방법은 크립손상 평가뿐만 아니라 피로 손상 평가에도 사용되고 있으며 외국의 경우 현장에서 많이 사용되고 있는, 가장 보편화된 방법 중의 하나이다. 국내의 경우에도 노후화된 고온 사용 설비가 상당수되기 때문에 설비의 안전성이나 경제적인 운용을 위해서 이들의 손상 정도를 정 기적으로 진단할 필요성이 매우 크나 이에 대한 연구 성과는 외국에 비하여 미미한 편이기 때 문에 앞으로 이에 대한 많은 노력이 이루어져야 한다고 생각되나. 특히 현장에서는 휴대용 시 험기를 사용하여야 하나 수명평가에는 비커스 경도값을 사용하고 있기 때문에 이들의 경도 환 산에 대한 D/B 확충이 시급한 실정이다. 또한 기존 기술의 습득 및 손상 평가의 정확도 향상, 새로운 방법들의 개발 그리고 이들의 현장 적용 등을 위해서는 실기 사용재의 입수, 정보교환, 전문가시스템(expert system) 개발을 위한 D/B 구축 등 산 . 학 . 연의 협동이 절실히 요구된다.

The aim of this study was to compare compressive strength and microhardness of recently introduced alkasite restorative materials with glass ionomer cement and flowable composite resin. For each material, 20 samples were prepared respectively for compressive strength and Vickers microhardness test. The compressive strength was measured with universal testing machine at crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. And microhardness was measured using Vickers Micro hardness testing machine under 500 g load and 10 seconds dwelling time at 1 hour, 1 day, 7 days, 14 days, 21 days and 35 days. The compressive strength was highest in composite resin, followed by alkasite, and glass ionomer cement. In microhardness test, composite resin, which had no change throughout experimental periods, showed highest microhardness in 1 hour, 1 day, and 7 days measurement. The glass ionomer cement showed increase in microhardness for 7 days and no difference was found with composite resin after 14 days measurement. For alkasite, maximum microhardness was measured on 14 days, but showed gradual decrease.

Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), a self-polymerizing resin for removable orthodontic devices, has been used as a dental orthodontic device for many years because of its advantages such as color stability, volume stability, and tissue compatibility. However, such a removable orthodontic device has a disadvantage that the longer the use in the oral cavity due to the low strength of the PMMA fracture of the orthodontic device resin in use. In this study, zinc nanoparticles (ZNP) were mixed with orthodontic PMMA to introduce strength effect. Rectangular samples ($1.4{\times}3.0{\times}19.0mm$) of orthodontic PMMA (0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0%) containing ZNP were prepared. The finished specimen was tested for three-point bending strength at a speed of 1 mm / min, and the Vickers hardness was measured three times using a hardness tester. The surface roughness was measured with a surface roughness. As a result, the 3-point bending strength did not change significantly (p>0.05). Surface energy increased significantly. As a result, we successfully synthesized ZNP in this study and prepared the dispersed resin specimen for calibration. It will be possible to develop high-density dental orthodontic resins.
