In this study, tensile tests were performed using standard and notched-bar specimens under two different displacement rates and various temperatures, in order to investigate the effects of the stress and strain concentration at the notched section on the dynamic strain aging (DSA) behavior of carbon steel piping material. In addition, finite element simulations were conducted to evaluate quantitatively the stress and strain states for both types of specimen under uniaxial tensile loading. The results showed that serration and an increase in tensile strength, which are considered to be evidence of DSA in carbon steels, can be observed from tensile tests for notched-bar specimens. It was also found that the temperature region of DSA observed in the notched-bar specimens was higher than the DSA region observed in the standard tensile specimens tested under the same displacement rate. The results of finite element analysis showed that this behavior is associated with the high strain rate at the notched section, which is caused by the stress and strain concentration.

High strain rate tensile tests were performed to measure the strain rate sensitivity of fiber reinforced composite material. The composite material was developed for the light weight design of an automotive FEM(front end module) carrier. Standard specimens for quasi-static tests of fiber reinforced composites can be found in ASTM D3039. However, in case of high strain rate tests, it was hard to find standard specimen shapes. In this study, three kinds of tensile specimens designed based on ASTM D638 were investigated to determined the adequate gauge width of tensile specimen for fiber reinforced composite. A drop tower type of high speed tensile apparatus was developed for strain rates of about 15/s and 100/s. Gauge width of 6mm, 8mm and 10mm were investigated. Test results showed the specimen of 8mm width was adequate for the high strain rate tensile tests of fiber reinforced composite. It was found the strength of the composite material increased as the strain rate increased.

In this study, it was performed damage assessment and repair of small scale aircraft adopted on composite. This aircraft adopted the sandwich structure to skin of wing. This study aims to investigate the residual strength of sandwich composites with nomex honeycomb core and carbon fiber face sheets after the open hole damage by the experimental investigation. The 4-point bending tests were used to find the bending strength, and the open hole was applied to introduce the simulated damage on the specimen. The bending strength test results after open hole were compared with the results of no damaged specimen test. In addition, The damaged composite structure was repaired using external patch repair method after removing damaged area. After that, this study presents comparison results of the experimental investigation between the damaged and the repaired specimen. It was found that the bending strength of repaired specimen was recovered up to 95% of undamaged specimen.

In this study the split ring (SR) test was investigated for its applicability to the measurement of the tensile strength of rock specimen of NX size. The concept of the SR test is the same as the half ring (HR) test (Choi et al., 2019) except that the expected fracture plane is perpendicular to the loading direction. Because of this perpendicularity, however, it was believed that the SR test could be more accurate than the HR test. Like the HR specimen, the SR specimen is a curved prismatic bar with a uniform section. Appealing to a basic bending theory in strength of materials, the tensile strength for the special bar can be calculated analytically. Numerical simulations using LS-DYNA revealed, as expected, that the strength errors were 1% and 5% for the tensional and compressional SR tests, respectively, which were much lower than that (12%) of the HR test. To identify the performance of the two SR tests, laboratory experiments were conducted. The HR and Brazilian tests were also performed for comparison. The experiments showed that the ratios of the tensional and compressional SR to Brazilian strengths were 1.2~1.4 and 1.1~1.2, respectively, which are too small compared to empirical values in ordinary bend tests. Consequently, it is concluded that the SR test is not appropriate for use in tensile strength test of rock specimen of NX size. But the ratio of the HR to Brazilian strengths was within 1.7~2.0 for both the previous and present studies, showing a good consistency in their test results.

원전은 고온기능시험 이후 2차계통 내부를 상대습도 40%이하로 관리하여 계통 재질 부식을 최소화하고 있다. 일반적으로 발전소에서는 운전 정지 후 상대습도 40%이하로 낮추는데 15일정도 소요되지만, 발전소 계통 중 일부 곡관부위는 약 60일정도 소요된다. 본 연구는 일부 계통 재료가 상대습도 제한치(<40%) 이상의 환경에서 장기간(최대 60일) 노출시 재료 건전성에 미치는 영향 평가이다. 평가를 위해 시편의 실험 전, 후 무게변화를 이용한 부식률 측정과 표면분석을 위해 광학현미경을 이용하였다. 사용 시편의 재료는 SA516 Gr.70이며 표면상태를 인위적으로 산화피막을 생성 시킨 것(2개)과 산화피막이 없는 것(6개)으로 2종류로 제작하였다. 총 시험기간은 60일이고 시험기간 중 산화피막이 없는 시편은 7일, 21일, 60일에 시편을 2개씩 꺼내어 무게를 측정하여 부식률을 계산하였다. 실험결과, 산화피막이 없는 시편은 노출되는 시간에 따라 부식률이 각각 0.35(7일), 0.21(21일), 0.67(60일) mpy이었고 산화피막이 있는 시편은 0.06(60일) mpy였다. 산화표면 분석결과, 산화피막이 없는 시편은 노출되는 시간에 관계없이 물방울이 맺힌 부분에 pitting을 확인하였다. 하지만, 산화피막이 있는 시편은 pitting의 흔적은 없었다. 산화피막이 없는 시편의 경우 시간에 따라 부식률은 높아지지만 학계에서 통용되는 뛰어난 내부식성 재료의 부식률 기준인 < 1 mpy이하기 때문에 재료 건전성에 미치는 영향은 거의 없을 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 대부분 원전의 경우 고온기능시험 또는 운전기간 동안에 2차계통 구성 재료 표면에 산화막이 생성되었기 때문에 산화피막이 있는 시편의 결과로 판단하면 상대습도 40%이상에 60일 이상 노출되어도 부식은 거의 일어나지 않았을 것으로 사료된다. 실증실험결과를 가지고 종합적으로 평가하면 상대습도 40%이상 환경에서 곡관부위가 60일이상 노출되어도 재료 건전성에 미치는 영향은 거의 없을 것으로 판단된다.

The puncture properties of short-fiber reinforced rubber were investigated as functions of fiber aspect ratio(AR: length of fiber/diameter of fiber), fiber content, specimen size and testing velocity. The puncture stresses of the matrix and short-fiber reinforced rubber decreased with specimen size, and increased with testing velocity at same specimen size. As the fiber AR increased the puncture stress at given fiber content also increased. The problem of the specimen shape was investigated by the comparison of the tensile strength with puncture stress. The forces acting in the membrane wall of the matrix and the short-fiber reinforced rubber showed a similar data regardless of specimen size. And those increased with testing velocity at same specimen size. As the fiber AR increased the force acting in the wall at given fiber content also increased. Overall, it was found that the specimen size, testing velocity had an important effects on the puncture properties.

The effects of the specimen size and temperature on the compressive strength of ATJ graphite were investigated. Compressive tests were conducted in accordance with ASTM C 965 at room temperature, $700^{\circ}C$ and $900^{\circ}C$. Three types of cylindrical specimen at room temperature were used in uniaxial tests, where the diameter-to - length ratios were one to two for the ASTM standard specimen, one to one for the Type I specimen, and one to 0.5 for the Type II specimen. Two kinds of cylindrical specimens, with and without antioxidant coating, were tested at elevated temperature. The Compressive strength of the expanded specimens(Type I, II) were slightly higher than that of standard specimen at room temperature. The compressive strength of a specimen with antioxidant coating increased as the temperature increased to $900^{\circ}C$. In contrast, that of the non-coated specimen decreases sharply due to the oxidation of the specimen.
