Steel structures have been generally painted to prevent corrosion damage. However, the painted film is deteriorated with increase in service life, and then corrosion damage resulting in cross sectional area occurs on steel surface. As a result, the buckling strength of steel structures can be decreased due to the corrosion damages. The evaluation method of the axial buckling strength of columns about a variety of section shapes and supporting conditions have been presented, but evaluation method of buckling strength about irregular nonprismatic columns is not established. In this study, the axial buckling strength of corroded steels was evaluated based on the buckling test results of corroded steel specimens that were cut off at a temporary steel structure. The corroded specimens were picked up total 10 specimens according to various slenderness ratio from the web of a temporary structure's main beam. The length of specimens is 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600mm respectively. The rust productions were removed by the chemical treatment. Then, the surface geometry was measured at intervals of $1{\times}1mm$ by using the optical 3D digitizing system, and the residual thickness of the specimens was calculated. The axial buckling test was performed on 10 corroded specimens and 12 non-corroded specimens under the fixed-fixed support condition. From the test results, the effect of corrosion damages on axial buckling load was investigated. Regardless of corrosion damage degree, the axial buckling strength of corroded specimens and non-corroded specimens was evaluated identically by using minimum average residual thickness or average residual thickness to minus its standard deviation. Reasonable measuring intervals of residual thickness was proposed by using the results to apply for practical works.

Dome stretching tests and tension tests were performed to evaluate the formability of a copper alloy used for manufacturing the regenerative cooling chamber. The test specimens were prepared to investigate the effect of heat treatment and direction of specimens on the formability. The test results show that forming limit values are increased by the heat treatment of the material but the variation of the forming limit values by manufacturing direction is negligible compared to the heat treatment effect, and forming limit values are also different according to the test methods. These results indicate that the high temperature heat treatment of the material before bulging is a very important process to deform the inner cylindrical structure of the regenerative cooling chamber into a nozzle shape by the bulging process without necking or fracture and the test methods also have a great effect on a evaluation of the formability. The forming limit diagram obtained in this study would be utilized to the design of regenerative cooling chamber nozzles.

Field emission behaviors from diamond-like carbon films were investigated. The films were deposited on n-type Si wafer by ion beam sputtering method using 3 cm Kaufman type ion source. Regardless of the film thicknesses and atomic bond structure, the emission current was much enhanced by electrical breakdown between anode and the film surface. The effective work function was estimated to be about 0.1 eV. In order to identify the emission site, tungsten tip was scanned the damaged region damaged region but localized to a specific site. Analysis using Auger electron spectroscopy and SEM shows that SiC compound was not a sufficient condition for the electron emission. This result showed that the enhanced emission was mainly due to the changes in the chemical bond of the damaged region rather than the enhanced electric field caused by the morphological change.

In this paper an finite element approach for the edge crack analysis of silicon-steel sheet during cold rolling is presented. Based on the damage mechanics, the proposed approach follows the analysis steps which are composed of damage initiation, damage evolution and fracture. Through those steps, we can find out the initiation instant of crack and resulting propagated length and shape of the crack. The material constants related to fracture is experimentally obtained by tension tests using standard sheet-type specimen and notched sheet-type specimen. To evaluate the prediction accuracy, we performed a pilot rolling test with a initially notched sheets. It is shown that the results obtained by the approach converged to the experimental one concerning about the direction and length of propagated crack. The capability of the proposed one is demonstrated through the application to the actual silicon-steel rolling mill.

In this study, the effects of specimen size and side-groove on the results of the J-R test for leak-before-break (LBB) evaluation were investigated. A series of J-R tests were conducted at both RT and $316^{\circ}C$, using three different sizes of compact tension (CT) specimens machined from SA508 Gr.1a piping material: 12.7 mm-thick 1T-CT, 25.4 mm-thick 1T-CT, and 25.4 mm-thick 2T-CT with and without side-groove. The results showed that side-grooving reduced the J-R curve for all specimens and the effect of side-grooving was more significant at $316^{\circ}C$ than at RT. As the thickness of the specimens decreased and the width of the specimens increased, the J-R curve slightly decreased at RT but it increased at $316^{\circ}C$. However, the variation in the J-R curve of SA508 Gr.1a with the thickness and width of CT specimen was insignificant.

The co-bonded dissimilar composite under a wide range of temperature change shows thermal distortion due to the differences in thermal expansion characteristics of the composite materials. Analysis of the thermal expansion characteristics of each composite is required for the design of co-bonded dissimilar composite structure with considering the shape distortion during the manufacturing process. In this work, digital image correlation (DIC) technique is introduced for measuring the thermal distortion characteristics of co-bonded dissimilar composite specimen, carbon/epoxy and silica/phenolic. The thermal distortion of co-bonded dissimilar composite specimen is numerically estimated and compared with the experiments. The estimated results is successfully validated using the measured results.

Ti-Ni합금은 CsCl구조의 B2상, monoclinic 구조의 B19'(M)상과 rhombohedral 구조의 R상(R)이 나타난다고 알려져 있고, 이들 상의 변태에 의해 열탄성 마르텐사이트와 응력유기 마르텐사이트에 의한 형상기억효과와 초탄성 효과를 가지고 있다. 또한 Ti-Ni 합금은 우수한 형상기억특성을 가질 뿐만 아니라 생체적합성, 가공성 및 내식성 등이 뛰어나 공업분야 및 생체분야에서 폭 넓게 활용되고 있다. Ti-Ni합금의 형상기억특성은 냉간가공 후 어닐링 처리의 온도와 시간에 따른 matrix 내 Ni의 농도, 석출물의 밀도와 크기, 전위밀도와 전위주위의 응력장에 의해 영향을 받는다고 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 Ti-Ni합금의 형상기억 특성 및 변태온도에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 다양한 냉간가공률의 시료를 제작하여 다양한 온도에서 Annealing 처리를 하여 냉간가공률 및 Annealing 온도가 형상기억특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Ti-50.4 at.% Ni 합금은 진공 아크 용해로에서 용해 하였으며, 용해된 Ingot는 열간단조 및 열간 압출한 후 냉간 인발과 중간온도에서 어닐링을 반복하면서 직경 0.5mm의 선재로 만들었다. 최종적으로 제작한 선재의 냉간가공률은 9.5%, 18.2%, 34.5%, 45% 이었다. 각 시편은 5X10-5torr의 진공으로 석영관에 진공 봉입하여 각각 673K, 723K, 783K에서 1hr 열처리 하였다. 합금의 형상기억특성과 변태온도는 DSC에 의해 조사되었다. DSC 측정 결과, 냉간가공률이 증가함에 따라 마르텐사이트 변태 온도는 감소하였고, 어닐링 온도가 증가함에 따라 마르텐사이트 변태 온도는 증가하였다. 또한 가공률이 증가하여도 R상 변태온도는 큰 변화가 없었고, Annealing온도가 증가함에 따라 R상 변태온도는 감소하였다. 또한, 형상기억특성은 인장시험기를 이용한 정하중 열싸이클 테스트를 이용하여 평가 하였다. 냉간 가공률이 증가함에 따라 안정한 형상기억특성을 나타내었다.

Composite ablative tubes required capabilities of ablative and structural characteristics were fabricated through filament winding technique and several experiments were conducted to evaluate the structural performance of composite ablative tubes. For this purpose, manufacturing procedures were briefly described and then resin digestion method was applied to measure the fiber volume fraction and the void content of composite ablative tubes. The configuration of tensile specimen fur composite ablative tubes with not losing the continuity of reinforced fibers was suggested by evaluating mechanical properties of several types of the specimen with different widths. Also, suitable processing variables for composite ablative tubes were determined by evaluating mechanical properties of several types of the specimen with different processing variables. In addition, acoustic emission signals were obtained during the proof test and could be applicable to study the crack initiation and the damage mode of composite ablative tubes. Finally, the structural reliability of composite ablative tubes could be verified to satisfy design requirements through the proof and burst tests.

This study aims to present the practical Nitrogen monoxide (NO) removal capacity of cement mortar with Titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) which is one of the paving materials by considering the environment of pavement in urban areas. NO removal capacity test under designated conditions of humidity of inflow gas and the test with variation of the degree of saturation of specimen were conducted. In the test for humidity, dry specimen is subject to the test and NO removal ratio was observed. Humidity-NO removal ratio curve is a log normal distribution in shape, and the maximum NO removal ratio appears at specific humidity. NO removal capacity test relying on the degree of saturation was carried out with wet specimen to reflect the unsaturated pavement by rainfall and domestic sewage. Wet specimen presents less NO removal capacity than dry specimen and the recovering evolution of NO removal capacity follows evaporation. Moreover, $TiO_2$ under the specific depth of specimen hardly contributes to NO removal capacity.

Inner shell material of LNG storage tanks that store ultra-low temperature LNG at -162℃ requires structural integrity assessment of a crack-like defect. From the viewpoint of conventional fracture mechanics, the assessment has mainly performed by single parameter using stress intensity factor K, J-integral and CTOD. However, the stresses in a material of crack tip are not unique caused by constraint loss due to size and geometry of the structure. Various attempts have been made to complement a single parameter fracture mechanics, typically with Q-stress. In this paper, we have performed a two-parameter approach by deriving the Q-stress coupling with J-integral suitable for the evaluation of the crack tip stress field in the non-linear elastic region. A quantitative evaluation of the constraint effect has performed by using the J-Q approach. It was evaluated that the SENB type specimen had a crack ratio of 0.1 to 0.7 and the wide type specimen had a crack ratio of 0.2 to 0.6.
