Nanoindentation has been widely used for evaluating mechanical properties of nano-devices, from MEMS to packaging modules. Residual stress is also estimated from indentation tests, especially the Knoop indenter which is used for the determination of residual stress directionality. According to previous researches, the ratio of the two stress conversion factors of Knoop indentation is a constant at approximately 0.34. However, the ratio is supported by insufficient quantitative analyses, and only a few experimental results with indentation depth variation. Hence, a barrier for in-field application exists. In this research, the ratio of two conversion factors with variation in indentation depth using finite elements method has been attempted at. The magnitudes of each conversion factors were computed at uniaxial stress state from the modelled theoretical Knoop indenter and specimen. A model to estimate two stress conversion factor of the long and short axis of Knoop indenter at various indentation depths is proposed and analyzed.

The indentation test, which is one of the testing methods for evaluating the mechanical properties of materials, can be applied to the evaluation of creep properties. Many studies related to the indentation creep test, however, have just focused on the characteristics of the steady-state creep, so there are wide discrepancies between the uniaxial test and the indentation test. To obtain accurate creep properties, it is therefore important to consider the effects of transient creep. In the present work, the Ogbonna et al.'s work on the spherical indentation test including the transient creep was expanded and applied to the conical indentation creep test. The characteristics of the transient creep were analyzed via finite element simulations and compared with those obtained through spherical indentation. Other effects, such as elastic strain, indenter shape, contact area, and representative strain, which have not been considered properly in prior studies on the creep test, are also discussed.

Mathematical modeling on the corrosion of the steel casing and main pipe due to the protection current resulting from a cathodic protection system was carried out using boundary element method. The model is consisted of Laplace's equation with non-linear boundary conditions(Tafel equations) and the iterative technique to determine the miexed potential of the steel casing. The model is applied to the normal steel casing section as well as abnormal one with defects such as metal touch and insulation defects. From the modeling procedure, we can calculate the potential distributions and current density distributions of the system. The theoretical results of the qualitatiive corrosion aspect along the steel casing and main pipe agree well with the experimental results within the experimental conditions studied.

To protect the underground pipeline from the mechanical damage and to enhance the cathodic protection effect, the river sand has been backfilled traditionally around the buried pipeline. However, river sand became depleted and expensive. One has to seek for the economic alternative materials. Crashed stone is a good candidate for the backfill material. In this study, how much the particle size and shape of the crashed stone can effect on the gas pipeline coating was examined. A series of laboratory and field test was performed. In the Lab, the increasing loads were applied to the coated pipeline surrounded by the crashed stone, where no significant damage was observed.

A combination of the instrumented indentation and 3D morphology measurement has been tried in order to perform a real-time property measurement of degraded materials in gas pipelines; three-dimensional indent morphologies were recorded using a reflective laser scanner after a series of insturmented indentations on three metallic specimens. Dimensions of the permanent deformation zone and contact boundary were analyzed from the cross-sectional profile over an remnant indent and used for estimating yield strength and hardness, respectively. Estimated yield strength was comparable with that from uniaxial tensile test and actual hardness implying material pile-up effects was lower than the calculated value from indentation curve by $20{\sim}30%$. It means that this 3D image analysis can explain the material pile-up effects on the contact properties. Additionally, a combined system of indentation and laser sensor was newly designed by modifying a shape of the indentation loading fixture.

This study deals with hardness evaluation for spot welding by using an instrumented indentation technique to improve the quality of the inspection methodology. First, an instrumented indentation test and a Rockwell hardness test were performed for normal and abnormal spot welding. The hardness to indentation force-displacement curve obtained using each of the tests was compared. Furthermore, an analysis was conducted using the hardness obtained by the instrumented indentation technique. A quality control standard based on reliability was this evaluated for spot welding.

박막이나 초미세 구조체의 경도 및 탄성계수 측정을 위한 나노 압입실험에서는 Oliver ＆ Pharr가 제안한 하중-변위 측정 나노압입법이 널리 쓰이고 있다 위 실험법에서, 나노경도(nano-hardness; H$_{n}$)는 최대하중을 계산된 접촉면적 (A$_{c}$)으로 나누어 평가하고, 압입자 및 박막의 탄성성질을 포함하는 환산 탄성계수 (reduced modulus ; E$_{r}$)는 하중제거곡선의 초기 기울기인 접촉탄성강성 (S)를 이용하여 계산한다. 그러나, 하중-변위 측정 나노압입법에서는 탄성 및 소성변형만이 고려되고 시간 의존적 변형거동 (time dependent deformation; TDD)은 고려되지 않는다.(중략)

In this paper, static perforation tests are conducted to predict the penetration energy for the composite laminates subjected to high velocity impact. Three methods are used to analyze the perforation energy accurately. The first method is to select the perforation point using the AE sensor signal energy, the second method is to retest the tested specimen and use the difference between initial and retested perforation energy, and the third method is to select the perforation point based on the maximum loading point in the retested load-displacement curve of the tested specimen. The predicted perforation energy results are presented and verified by comparing with those by the high velocity tests.

This study aims to investigate the residual strength of sandwich composites with Al honeycomb core and carbon fiber face sheets after the quasi-static indentation damage by the experimental investigation. The 3-point bending test and the edge-wise compressive strength test were used to find the mechanical properties, and the quasi-static point load was applied to introduce the simulated damage on the specimen. The damaged specimens were finally assessed by the 3-point bending test and the compressive strength test. The investigation results revealed the residual strength of the damaged specimens due to the quasi-static indentation. The both test results showed that the residual strength of the damaged specimen was decreased according to increases of the damaged depth.

Penetration resistance of bucket foundations with skirt wall in the silty sand of the western coast of Korea was analyzed by centrifuge modelling. The penetration resistance is induced when the bucket foundations are jacked into the soil without suction, and is directly related to the self-weight penetration depth. The procedure by Houlsby and Byrne (2005), which takes into account the effect of stress increase by frictional resistance of skirt wall, was utilized to generate the penetration resistance similar to the experimental results. This paper describes the methods by which major parameters such as lateral earth pressure coefficient and friction angle between the skirt wall and the soil are evaluated. The effect of changes in these parameters on the predictions is analyzed. Also, observed soil behaviour during jacking penetration is investigated.
