The fatigue analysis and lifetime evaluation are very important in design procedure to assure the safety and reliability of the rubber components. Recently, the design, analysis and evaluation technology was required to achieve the high quality, fidelity, reliability of rubber products. However, rubber manufacturing companies of our country have uesd the method of trial and error and experience in the process of a compound mixing, manufacturing and improvement of rubber properties. The objectives of this study are to establish the test methods of rubber material and to make the database of rubber material properties and to evaluate the performance of rubber components and to construct the prediction system of fatigue life. Fatigue lifetime prediction methodology of the rubber component was proposed by incorporating the finite element analysis and fatigue damage parameter from fatigue test.

Dried-red pepper, whole and powdered types, was subjected to a storage-study by investigation the effects of packaging methods (polycloth & polyethylene/polycloth, whole dried-red pepper; nylon/polyethylene-lam-inated film, red pepper powder), temperature (ambient, $5{\sim}10^{\circ}C$) and gamma irradiation doses (0-10 kGy). After 6 months storage in polyclith sack at ambient temperature, all whole dried-red pepper showed quality deterioration, such as weight change, insect infestation, discoloration and chemical changes, After 2 years storage in combined packaging with polyethylene/polycloth sack of 5-7.5 kGy irradiated whole dried-red pepper at ambient temperature, however, quality deterioration was not observed. Gamma-irradiated red pepper powder (7.5-10kGy) showed a good quality in hygienic, physicochemical and organoleptic evaluation after 2 years of storage at ambient temperature.

Various characteristics(thermal expansion, microstructure, etc.) and mechanical properties of CNT-aluminum nano composites manufactured by volume production system were evaluated. Also, formability and durability were evaluated for potential applications in automotive parts, via compared with high-elasticity material (A390) and the current commercial product. As a result, this composite has excellent mechanical properties and formability, therefore, to verity its potential for application as light and high strength materials in automobile part.

Concrete scaling is the progressive surface deterioration of susceptible subjected to freeze-thaw cycling in the presence of moisture. Particularly, it has been recognized that chlorides present in deicing agents can significantly increase concrete surface scaling. Domestic area of most be happened chloride deicer damage. Because daily mean temperature is below 0$^{\circ}C$ from the area of domestic most. Use of deicing chemicals has been and will continue to be a major part of highway snow and ice control methods. Chloride-containing chemicals such as calcium chloride or rock salt are main deicers for the road. Extensive use of chloride deicers is, however, not only the source of substantial cost penalties due to their corrosive action and ability to deterioration roadway surface materials but also the source of environmental damages. In this study, Use of (40, 27, 21MPa) pavement concrete analyze freeze-thaw test and scaling on the chlorides present.

The polyethylene pipe can use semi-permanent because of the high corrosion resistance with chemical stability. In addition to, there is the merit that is an easy to establish and to maintain. However, as the reason that it is simply degraded when the polyethylene pipe was exposed to the outside, mainly it is used to lay under the ground with low-pressure gas transportation pipe. In this study, the nondestructive evaluation method was used to maintain the integrity of the polyethylene pipe. We simulated the various defects on the polyethylene pipes, and then the AE signal occurred according to the impact test of steel ball was evaluated by the acoustic emission method. From the results, the waveform and dominant frequency could be distinguishing from the defect shapes of polyethylene pipe. Especially, in the case of notch defect, the AE signals occur different by the angle and depth of the notch.

Nanocomposite anodes for rechargeable lithium battery are prepared by mixing tin and nickel nanoparticles via wet method and their electrochemical properties are examined. The Sn-Ni nanocomposite anode shows a maximum discharge capacity of 700 mAh $g^{-1}$ at the first cycle but very poor cycle performance. This means that the electrode porosity and the Ni component formed by the simple mixing of nanoparticles no longer play the role of buffering the volume expansion/contraction of Sn component during charge-discharge. To solve the cycle performance problem, a novel nanostructured Sn-Ni anode should be designed and tested.

It is necessary to check the fault of phased array antenna, when the active phased array radar installed in the site is suspected performance degradation due to external impact or long-term operation. However, the near-field test should be performed in anechoic chamber in order to measure the phased array antenna, so that much time and cost must be applied for radar disassembly and transportation, and the operational availability of the radar system is deteriorates. Therefore, we propose a near-field scanner with mobility to check the fault of the phased array antenna at the site, and the effectiveness of the proposed scanner was verified with ${\pm}0.5dB$ magnitude and ${\pm}1.5^{\circ}$ phase in comparison with measured data in anechoic chamber.

The results of an experimental study on the development and the evaluation of lightweight and high strength composites utilizing by-products and calcium silicates for construction materials are presented in this paper. The composites using early strength portland cement, by-Products( f1y ash, silica fume), silica powder, quick lime, gypsum, A1 powder and fibers(PAN-derived CF, alkali-resistance GF) were prepared using various mixing conditions. As the test results show, PAN-derived CF and alkali-resistance GF were suitable for rein-forcing fiber of the composites. And the mechanical properties,such as compressive tensile flexural strength, and toughness of Lt. Wt. fiber reinforced calcium silicates cement comp-osites were improved by increasing the fly ash and silica fume contents, and fiber contents, especially by increasing fiber contents the toughness of the composites were remarkably in-creased. Also, compressive tensile flexural strength,and toughness of the composites rein-forcing PAN-derived CF were higher than those of the composites reinforcing alkali-resistance GF..

This paper describes the electrical characteristics of ZnO surge arresters associated with the variation of surrounding conditions. To investigate the deterioration behaviors of ZnO surge arresters due to lightning surges, 8/20[${\mu}s$], 2.5[kA] impulse currents were injected to the ZnO surge arrester under test. The leakage currents of ZnO surge arrester subject to power frequency AC voltage were measured in different surrounding temperature and wet conditions. As a result, it was found that the leakage current is increased and its asymmetry is pronounced as the number of injection of the impulse current and the ambient temperature increase. Also, in the wet test the outside leakage current flowing through the housing surface of the ZnO surge arrester is much larger than the intrinsic leakage current of ZnO surge arrester element. The results obtained in this work can be a lied as factors of improving the reliability and performance of monitoring system for surge arresters.

Post weld heat treatment (PWHT) of weldment of the low alloy Cr-Mo steel, in general, is carried out not only to remove residual stress and hydrogen existing in weldment but to improve fracture toughness of weld heat affected zone (HAZ). There occur some problems such as toughness decrement and stress relief cracking (SRC) in the coarse grained region of weld HAZ when PWHT is practiced. Especially, embrittlement of structure directly relates to the mode of fracture and is appeared as the difference of fracture surface such as grain boundary failure. Therefore, in this paper, the effect of heating rate on PWHT embrittlement under the various kinds of stresses simulated residual stress in weld HAZ was evaluated by COD fracture toughness test and observation of fracture surface. Fracture toughness of weld HAZ decreased with increment of heating rate under no stress, but it was improved to increment of heating rate under the stress. Grain boundary failure didn't almost appear at the heating rate of 600.deg.C/hr but it appeared from being the applied stress of 294 MPa at 220.deg.C/hr and 196 MPa at 60.deg.C/hr.
