The pavement for high speed weigh-in-motion system have to have durability for a long time without deformation such as rutting so as to sustain precision, accuracy and repeatability. In this paper, PTCP(Post-Tensioned Concrete Pavement) that heavy traffic resistance and durability provide was constructed and field application was evaluated.

Pressure tubes are major component of nuclear reactor, but only selected samples are periodically examined due to numerous numbers of tubes. Current in-service inspection result show there is high probability of flaw existence at uninspected pressure tube. Probabilistic analysis is applied in this study for the integrity assessment of uninspected pressure tube. All the current integrity evaluations procedures are based on conventional deterministic approaches. So it is expected that the results obtained are too conservative to perform a rational evaluation of lifetime. More realistic failure criteria, based on FAD are also proposed for the probabilistic analysis. As a result of this study failure probabilities for various conditions are calculated, and examined application of FAD and LBB concept.

Probabilistic analysis is applied in this study for the integrity assessment of un-inspected pressure tube. But all the current integrity evaluations procedures are based on conventional deterministic approaches. So many integrity evaluation parameters are not directly apply to probabilistic analysis. As a result of this study failure assessment diagram are proposed based on test data.

Segregation in asphalt pavements occurs as a result of the non-uniform distribution of coarse and fine aggregates and causes premature distresses, such as cracking, raveling, and stripping. The effect of segregation on rutting, however, has not been clearly identified. Experimental and analytical work performed in this study indicates that rutting performance is affected by segregation of mixtures. However, the aggregate structure of mixtures appears to be a more critical factor that determines the rutting performance, rather than the level of segregation. Based on the field mixtures evaluated, an increase of coarse aggregate volume in an asphalt mixture is an important factor that results in good rutting performance. This effect holds true for mixtures with lower levels of air voids, but for mixtures with higher levels of air voids, the air voids effect becomes dominant, resulting in a reduction in rutting performance. An air void content of 10% appears to be a threshold that determines the rutting performance of Superpave mixtures. Once the air void content exceeds 10%, the rutting performance of Superpave mixtures decreases significantly, despite the coarse aggregate volume.

금형을 이용하는 소성가공에서는 형 사이에서 셩형되는 소재가 소성변형되지만 이때 소재는 형의 표면을 따라 미끄러지면서 유동하므로 형재료와 소재간에는 큰 마찰력이 작용하고, 형재료는 이 마찰력에 의하여 전단응력이 작용하게 된다. 따라서 이러한 전단응력이 반복하여 작용하는 프레스가공 등에서는 형의 수명이 항상 문제가 된다. 물론 형의 수명은 형재료가 프레스압력에 견디지 못하여 형이 균열되거나 펀치가 절단되는 것 같은 형재료의 강인성이 불충분하기 때문에 비교적 조기에 일어나는 파손에 의하여 수명의 대상으로 되는 경우도 있지만 무엇보다도 형의 수명을 죄우하는 가장 중요한 사항은 형재료의 내마멸성이다. 따라서 본 연구에서서는 이들 제인자를 고려하여 Die 및 Punch의 재료로 널리 사용되는 냉간성형용 Die강인 STD 11의 마멸특성을 알기 위하여 미끄럼 속도, 접촉압력 및 미끄럼 거리등을 변화시켜 내마멸성을 나타내는 최적사용조건을 찾고자 하는 것을 목적으로 하였다.

In the present work, the two-back stress model is proposed and continuum damage mechanics (CDM) is incorporated into the plastic constitutive relation in order to describe the plastic deformation localization and the damage evolution in a deforming continuum body. Coupling between damage mechanics and isothermal rate independent plasticity is performed using the kinematic hardening rule, which in turn is formulated by combining the nonlinear Armstrong-Frederick rule and the Phillips rule. The numerical analyses are carried out within h deformation theory. It is noted that the damage evolution within a work piece accelerates the plastic deformation localization such that the material with lower hardening exponent results in a rapid shear band formation. Moreover, the results from the numerical analysis reflected closely with the micro-structures around the fractured regime. The effects of the various hardening parameters on deformation localization are also investigated. As the nonlinear strain rate description in the back stress evolution becomes dominant, the strain localization becomes intensified as well as the damage evolution.

A material model has been presented, at the continuum level, for the representation of superplastic deformation coupled with microstructural evolution. The model presented enables the effects of the spatial variation of distributions of grain size to be predicted at the process level. The model has been tested under conditions of both homogeneous and inhomogeneous stress and strain by carrying out detailed comparison of predicted distributions of grain size and their evolutions with experimentally obtained data. Experimental measurements have shown the extent of the spatial variation of the distribution of grain size that exists in the titanium alloy, Ti-6Al-4V. It is shown that whilst not large, the variations in grain size distributions are sufficient to lead to the development of inhomogeneous deformation in test pieces, which ultimately result in localisation of strain and failure.

To evaluate elastic and micro-failure properties of MEMS materials, the electro-statically operated test devices were designed and fabricated by micro machining technology. The test structures consist or comb drives for loading and suspending beams in testing. From the analysis of beam displacement based on elastic beam theory, elastic modulus and yield strength of Al film were measured. And, by introducing the micro notch and cyclic loading, the micro-failure was Induced and the micro-fracture toughness of Si film was evaluated. Moreover, the cycles to failure were estimated from the degradation of resonant frequency. Finally, the effects of notch on micro failure were discussed.

Rutting on asphalt pavement surface is an important damage in most roadways in the world. Most of researches have developed prediction model for rutting on asphalt pavement as a function of physical properties of asphalt binder. But this study was devised to estimate rutting based on fundamental properties of asphalt mixture, not binder. Therefore this study objective is to estimate rutting based on volumetric properties, that is Air void, Void in mineral aggregate(VMA) and Void filled with asphalt(VFA), of asphalt mixture with various asphalt binders, aggregates and aggregate gradation. Results showed that it was possible to estimate rutting depth based on volumetric variables of asphalt mixture. In addition, VMA, the variable which is nor used In mix design in Korea, showed a significant correlation with rutting, It is recommended that VMA is adapted as a variable in domestic mix design. Also, It showed that VFA in the specification should be lowered at least 5% point since VFA was somewhat higher than optimum.

In the present, the formation of shear band under a simple shear deformation is investigated using a rate-independent elastic-plastic constitutive relations. Moreover, the strain gradient terms are incorporated to obtain a non-local plastic constitutive relation, which in turn represented using combined two-back stress hardening model. Then, the continuum damage model is also included to the proposed model. The post-localization behavior are studied by introducing a small imperfection in a work piece. The strain gradient affects the shear localization significantly such that the intensity of shear band decreases as the strain gradient coefficient increases when the J2 flow theory is employed.
