In this paper, the compensation of interfacial scatter due to adhesive layer and adherend thickness ratio variation was applied to improve measuring precision by calculating ultrasonic attenuation coefficient in the Al/Epoxy dissimilar bonded components. The optimum condition of theoretical value and experimental measuring accuracy by the ultrasonic method in the Al/Epoxy dissimilar bonded components have been investigated. From the experimental results, we proposed a measurement method of the interfacial crack lengths by the ultrasonic attenuation coefficient and discussed it.

The ultrasonic attenuation coefficients were measured by interfacial crack length in the adhesive components of double-cantilever beam(DCB). The energy release rate, G, was obtained by the experimental measurement of compliance. The numerical analysis by the boundary element method(BEM) and Ripling's equation was investigated. The experimental results represent that the relation between interfacial crack length for the ultrasonic attenuation coefficient and energy release rate is increased proportionally. A measurement method of the interfacial crack length by the ultrasonic attenuation coefficient was proposed and discussed.

Static and dynamic responses of micro double cantilever beam structures interacted by electrostatic forces are obtained employing Galerkin's method based on Euler beam theory. Variations of static and dynamic responses as well as natural frequencies are estimated for several sets of beam properties and applied voltages. It is shown that the variations of beam properties resulted by manufacturing process influence the deflections and the modal characteristics significantly. Such information can be usefully employed for the design of MEMS structures.

In this paper a dynamic behavior of a double-cracked cnatilver beam with a tip mass and the moving mass is presented. Based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, the equation of motion is derived by using Lagrange's equation. The influences of the moving mass, a tip mass and double cracks have been studied on the dynamic behavior of a cantilever beam system by numerical method. The cracks section are represented by the local flexibility matrix connecting two undamaged beam segments. ,Therefore, the cracks are modelled as a rotational spring. Totally, as a tip mass is increased, the natural frequency of cantilever beam is decreased. The position of the crack is located in front of the cantilever beam, the frequencies of a double-cracked cantilever beam presents minimum frequency.

The simple and effective optical technique synthesizing holographic interferometry and speckle photography is presented. The optical system used in this experiment is based on image holography. A cantilever beam located on the precision translator is used to evaluate this measurement system. Experimental results agree well with the actual displacements within the error of 2.8%. As an its application, three dimensional contact deformation in the ball indentation is measured by using this optical system and compared with the numerical analysis by finite element method.

In this study, the fracture behaviour of DCB(double cantilever beam) specimen with aluminum foam composite materials is analyzed by simulation. By comparing the analysis results with two models of 25 mm and 40 mm, the model with thickness of 25 mm is weaker than 40 mm at fatigue life and damage. Two models are unfavorable at 'SAE Transmission' in case of nonuniform fatigue load and rainflow matrices are weakest at 'SAE Bracket history'. In damage matrices, the model with 25 mm of thickness is weaker than the model with 40 mm of thickness but the model with 40 mm of thickness relative damage possibility is higher than in case of 25 mm. As two models are safest at 'SAE Transmission', the relative damage becomes the lowest value from 1.1 to 1.8 %. The mechanical property can be investigated by applying these analyses results with the real composite structure bonded with adhesive and analyzing fracture behaviour.

The Compact Tension (CT) type test was performed in order to evaluate the fracture toughness performance of glass fiber-reinforced laminated timber. Glass fiber textile and sheet Glass fiber reinforced plastic were used as reinforcement. The reinforced laminated timber was formed by inserting and laminating the reinforcement between laminated woods. Compact tension samples are produced under ASTM D5045. The sample length was determined by taking account of the end distance of 7D, and bolt holes (12 mm, 16 mm, 20 mm) had been made at the end of artificial notches in advance. The fracture toughness load of sheet fiberglass reinforced plastic reinforced laminated timber was increased 33 % in comparison to unreinforced laminated timber while the glass fiber textile reinforced laminated timber was increased 152 %. According to Double Cantilever Beam theory, the stress intensity factor was 1.08~1.38 for sheet glass fiber reinforced plastic reinforced laminated timber and 1.38~1.86 for glass fiber textile reinforced laminated timber, respectively. That was because, for the glass fiber textile reinforced laminated timber, the fiber array direction of glass fiber and laminated wood orthogonal to each other suppressed the split propagation in the wood.

In this study a cohesive zone model was used to simulate the delamination phenomena which occurs by a successive crack initiation and propagation in composite laminates. The cohesive zone model was incorporated to the classical finite element method via cohesive element formulation and then implemented into the user-subroutine UEL of a commercial finite element program Abaqus. To validate the formulation and implementation of the cohesive element the finite element results were compared with the experimental data of double cantilever beam and end notched flexure tests. The numerical results well agree with the experimental load-displacement curves. Also the effect of the elastic stiffness and the size of the cohesive element on the global load-displacement curves were studied numerically. To minimize the mesh-dependency of the crack propagation path and eliminate the zig-zag patterns in the load-displacement curve, cohesive elements should be refined at the crack-tip.

To enhance the performance of graphene-based devices, it is of great importance to better understand the interfacial interaction of graphene with its underlying substrates. In this study, the adhesion energy of monolayer graphene placed on dielectric substrates was characterized using mode I fracture tests. Large-area monolayer graphene was synthesized on copper foil using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) with methane and hydrogen. The synthesized graphene was placed on target dielectric substrates using polymer-assisted wet transfer technique. The monolayer graphene placed on a substrate was mechanically delaminated from the dielectric substrate by mode I fracture tests using double cantilever beam configuration. The obtained force-displacement curves were analyzed to estimate the adhesion energies, showing 1.13 ± 0.12 J/m² for silicon dioxide and 2.90 ± 0.08 J/m² for silicon nitride. This work provides the quantitative measurement of the interfacial interactions of CVD-grown graphene with dielectric substrates.
