Many experimental results have revealed that the development of cavitaition during tensile deformation is limited by the Presence of liquid phases. However, the presence of liquid phases does not always lead to high-strain-rate superplasticity, because too much liquid causes intergranular decohesion at grain boundaries/interfaces in metal-matrix composites. Thus, it is important to examine the nature of interfaces of superplastic composites in order to understand the origin of superplastic flow related to liquid grain boundaries during high-strain-rate superplastic deformation. This study shows that a large elongation is obtained at the temperature, that is close to the onset temperature for partial melting in the superplastic composites, but the elongation significantly decreases at slightly higher temperatures, which are close to the end temperature fur partial melting. This indicates that there is an optimum amount of the liquid phase for obtaining high-strain-rate superplasticity in these materials.

The pull strength and fracture mechanism were investigated to evaluate the reliability and compatibility of Sn-8Zn-3Bi joints, the solder paste on lead and lead-free plating under thermal shock conditions. At the Sn-8Zn-3Bi solder joint, no crack initiation was observed during thermal shock test. After 1000 cycles, the strength of the solder joint decreased not sharply but reduced gradually compared with initial conditions. The decrement of strength was affected by ${\gamma}-Cu_5Zn_8$ IMC growth which caused the IMC fracture on the fracture surface and a change in fracture mode and initial crack point. Clearly, the Sn-8Zn-3Bi solder shows good reliability properties and compatibility with lead-free plated Cu LF under thermal shock temperatures between 248K and 423K.

Carbon fiber reinforced plastics(CFRP) have gained increased application in aerospace structures because of their specific strength and stiffness, but are sensitive to impact-induced damage. An experimental investigation was carried out to evaluate the impact resistance of CFRP according to the ply angle. The specimens of angle ply laminate composites were employed with [0.deg. $_{6}$/ .deg.$_{10}$/0.deg.$_{6}$], in which 6 kinds of ply angle such as .deg.=15.deg., 30.deg., 45.deg., 60.deg., 75.deg. and 90.deg. were selected. The impact tests were conducted using the air gun type impact testing machine by steel balls of diameter of 5 mm and 10 mm, and impact-induced damages were evaluated under same impact speed of V=60m/s. The impact damaged zones were observed through a scanning acoustic microscope (SAM). The obtained results were summarized as follows: (1) Delaminations on the interfacial boundaries showed th directional characteristics to the fiber directions. The delamination area on the impact side (interface A) was considerably smaller compared to that of the opposite side (interface B). (2) Cracks corresponding to other delaminations than those mentioned in SAM photographs were also seen on the impact damaged zone. (3) The delamination patterns were affected by the ply-angle, the dimensions of the specimen, and the boundary conditions. (4) The impact damaged zone showed zone showed the delamination on the interfacial boundaries, transverse shear cracks of the surface layer, and bending cracks of the bottom layer.r.r.r.

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.

마그네슘 합금은 구조용으로 사용 가능한 금속 재료 중 가장 가벼운 소재이며, 동시에 비강도 및 비강성과 같은 기계적 특성이 우수하여 알루미늄 합금의 뒤를 이을 차세대 경량 재료로써 주목을 받고 있다. 더욱이 석유자원의 대부분을 소비하고 있는 운송기기 분야에서는 경량화를 통한 연비향상과 배출가스 저감이 가장 큰 과제이며, 이 문제를 해결하기 위한 노력의 일환으로 최경량 소재인 마그네슘 합금의 사용량은 더욱 증가할 것으로 기대된다. 한편 기존의 마그네슘 합금 관련 연구는 새로운 합금의 개발에 치우쳐 있었으며, 상대적으로 이들 합금을 활용하기 위한 가공기술, 특히 용접에 대한 연구는 아직까지 많이 부족한 실정이다. 이는 철강재와 비교하여 마그네슘 합금의 고유물성이 용접의 관점에서는 상당히 열악하기 때문으로, 마그네슘은 융점 및 비점은 낮은 반면, 증기압과 열전도율은 높고 표면장력 및 점성은 낮은 특성을 가지고 있다. 그러므로 타 공법에 비해 상대적으로 입열이 적고 고속용접이 가능한 레이저의 적용이 최적으로 판단된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Nd:YAG 레이저를 사용하여 압연판재로 상용화되어 있는 AZ31B 마그네슘 합금의 맞대기 용접성을 조사하였으며, 용접부의 미세조직과 용접조건에 따른 용접부의 기계적 특성을 비교 및 검토하였다. 용접부의 기계적 특성은 인장 및 경도시험을 통해 평가하였다. 그 결과 레이저 출력 1.2kW를 적용한 경우에 안정적인 강도를 얻을 수 있었으며 레이저 출력 1.5kW, 용접속도 80mm/sec의 조건에서 모재 인장강도 대비 103% 그리고 연신율 대비 47.1%의 최적의 결과가 얻어졌다. 또한 용접부의 경도는 모재와 동등하거나 다소 높은 수준이었다. 이는 용접시 용접부내 잔류하는 알루미늄에 의한 고용 강화 효과와 금속간화합물의 석출 빈도 증가, 그리고 레이저 용접의 특징인 급열급랭 공정에 기인한 결정립 미세화의 영향 때문으로 사료된다. 한편 용접부 미세조직을 관찰한 결과, 열영향부의 존재는 두드러지지 않았으며 용융경계부에서는 주상정이, 그리고 용접부 가운데에서는 등축정이 관찰되었다.

ASTM A387-Gr.91 강은 우수한 고온 강도, 크리이프 저항성 그리고 내산화성 등으로 인해 화력 및 바이오매스 발전 시설과 같은 고온 설비의 구조재료로 널리 사용되고 있다. 고온 환경에서 높은 강도는 탄화물과 탄질화물에 의한 석출강화가 주 요인으로 작용한다. 열처리 과정에서 Mo, Cr, Mn, 그리고 Fe는 구-오스테나이트 및 마르텐사이트 라스 입계에 $M_{23}C_6$ 탄화물로 석출되며, V, Nb, 및 N은 조직 내부에 미세한 MX 탄질화물로 석출된다. 따라서 합금의 고온 강도는 조직 내 석출물의 개수밀도와 크기에 크게 의존한다. 그러나 적용 환경의 특성 상 고온 노출에 따른 2차상 석출 및 조대화의 조직열화 현상이 발생하며, 이는 재료의 강도를 저하시킨다. 본 연구에서는 ASTM A387-Gr.91 강의 미세조직 열화에 따른 강도저하 및 파괴 양상을 고찰하는데 그 목적을 두었다. 본 연구에서 사용된 ASTM A387-Gr.91 강의 화학성분(wt, %)은 0.1 C, 0.38 Si, 0.46 Mn, 0.25 Ni, 8.38 Cr, 0.93 Mo, 0.18 V, 0.09 Nb, 그리고 나머지는 Fe 이다. 조직열화 및 기계적 강도저하 특성을 평가하기 위한 등온열화는 $650^{\circ}C$의 대기 환경에서 최대 1000시간동안 실시하였다. 열화된 시험편의 미세조직 및 탄화물에 대한 분석은 SEM과 EDS를 이용하여 실시하였다. 그리고 기계적 강도 평가는 인장실험과 비커스 경도시험을 통해 실시하였다. 또한 열화 시간에 따른 파단양상의 변화를 관찰하기 위해 인장시험편의 파단면을 SEM과 EDS를 이용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과, 열화에 따른 마르텐사이트 라스의 소실, 탄화물의 조대화, 그리고 2차상 석출의 조직 열화현상이 나타났다. 또한 기계적 강도는 조직 열화에 따라 저하되는 경향을 나타냈다.

Casting of metal matrix composites is an attractive process since it offers a wide selection of materials and processing conditions. Among the casting methods, melt-stirring technology is much attractive route in industrial application because it is more simple and inexpensive compared to squeeze casting or powder metallurgy. In the present work, effects of particle size, volume fraction of particles and mg addition on mechanical properties and thermal expansion coefficients of $\alpha$ -$Al_2O_{3(p)}$/LXA composites were studied. It is shown that $\alpha$ -$Al_2O_3$ particles formed at the interface of $\alpha$ -$Al_2O_3$ particles and matrix made an important role on mechanical properties. Ultimate tensile strength of most composite materials was not increased. But in the case of 5vol% addition of 16$\mu\textrm{m}$ $\alpha$ -$Al_2O_3$ Particle, Ultimate tensile strength of composite materials with 3wt.% Mg was increased. Volume fraction of reinforcements and mg content were thermal expansion coefficients of composite materials were decreased.

A method for the measurement of viscoelastic properties of heat denatured gluten network was developed in order to evaluate the noodle making quality of wheat flour. The stress relaxation of elongated heat denatured gluten network could be expressed by 6-element generallized Maxwell model. The tensile force of heat denatured gluten network increased by the heating time. The elastcity and viscosity of the first exponential term which covers 70-74% of the total relaxation increased as cooking time was extended up to 1q min. The addition of gluten network strengthening agent, potassium bromate, at 1000ppm level reduced the elasticity and viscosity, while weakening agent, L-cystein, increased them. The relaxation time decreased after 11 min of cooking in both cases. The elasticity and viscosity of heat denatured gluten were affected differently by the concentration of added urea.

The effects of strain-induced crystallization (SIC) on the mechanical properties of elastomeric composites as functions of extension ratio (${\lambda}$), multiwalled carbon nanotube (CNT) content, and carbon black (CB) content are investigated. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis shows that the degree of crystallinity increases with the increase in the CB and CNT content. As ${\lambda}$ increases, the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the composites increases, and the latent heat of crystallization (LHc) of the composites is maximum at ${\lambda}$=1.5. It is found that the mechanical properties have a linear relation with LHc, depending on the CNT content. According to the TGA (thermogravimetric analysis), the weight loss of the composite matrix is 94.3% and the weight of the composites decreases with the filler content. The ratio of tensile modulus ($E_{comp}/E_{matrix}$) is higher than that of tensile strength (${\sigma}_{comp}/{\sigma}_{matrix}$) because of the CNT orientation inside the elastomeric composites.
