Although concrete members are not normally designed to resist direct tension, the knowledge of tensile strength is of value in estimating the cracking load. In general, there are three types of test method for tensile strength ; direct tension test, flexural tension test, and splitting tension test. Though direct tensile strength represents the real tensile strength of concrete, direct tension tests are seldom carried out, mainly because it is very difficult to applicate a pure tension force. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the test methods, effect of aspect ratio, and the size effect on the direct tensile strength. Direct tension test, using bonded end plates, follows RILEM and U.S.Bureau of Reclamation. And other test methods follow ASTM provisions. Four kinds of aspect ratio and two kinds of size effect are tested. Same variables are tested by direct tension test and splitting tension test for comparison between the two test methods. Test results show that direct tensile strength of concrete is more affected by aspect ratio and size than other kinds of strength.

In this study the plastic buckling analysis of a simply supported plate under biaxial compression/tension loading is carried out considering the plastic compressibility. Plastic buckling of a biaxially loaded rectangular plate is governed by two kinds of mechanism, the tension strengthening and plastic weakening under which the optimal combination of tension and compression is obtained for the buckling strength. To consider the plastic compressibility, the Drucker-Prayer plastic potential is employed. General eigenvalue equations are derived for a rectangular plate within the framework of small strain plasticity and isotropic hardening.

Laminated rubber bearing is the most commonly used device for seismic base isolation of bridge structures. It is important to know performance and behavior characteristics of the laminated rubber bearings. The main evaluation factors of the rubber bearing are classified as compressive, shear and tensile behavior characteristics. The reference data of compressive and shear characteristics are rich, but the reference data of tensile characteristics is scarce. In this study, tensile test results of the rubber bearing with variation of shape factor and shear deformation are investigated for mechanical property. When tensile deformation in normal condition is increasing, tensile cycle behavior curve becomes non-linear and tensile breaking point is 300%. On the other hand, tensile breaking point is shear deformation condition is about 40%. Furthermore, when shape factor is lower, tensile breaking point is decrease. This results mean that tensile breaking point is decreased in triaxial tensile deformation because of cracks caused by internal void of the rubber bearings. This experimental data can be used as the reference data of tensile characteristics for designing seismic isolation of structures.

공정계 및 공정계 조성에 가까운 주조용 AISi합금은 자동차엔진 생산분야 등에서 광범위하게 사용되고 있다. 일반적으로 AISi합금은 적용 분야에 따른 다양한 요구조건을 충족시키기 위하여 공정 조직 내 Si lamellar 상의 개량을 목적으로 종종 열처리를 행하나, 그들의 기계적 성질은 주로 응고 기간 중의 주조 조직 변화에 의해 결정되어진다. 본 연구는 1차 정출상들에 대한 미세화 첨가원소와 공정조직 내 Si의 형상 및 결정입 사이에서 나타날 수 있는 상호 작용에 대하여 관찰하였으며, 특히 AISi9 및 AISi14 합금에서의 인장 및 마모 특성은 물론 그들의 미세 조직 변화에 대한 P와 Sr의 동시 첨가 효과에 대하여 조사하였다. 동시 첨가한 경우 공정 조직 내 Si의 개량화는 물론 1차 정출상의 미세화를 통하여 단일 첨가에 비하여 상기 합금의 인장 및 마모 특성을 동시에 증가시켰다.

발전 설비는 기대 수명동안의 안정성을 확보하기 위하여 해당 규격에 부합하도록 설계하여 건설된다. 하지만 가동 중 다양한 복합 환경에 노출됨에 따라 구조물을 이루고 있는 재료의 열화 현상이 가속화되어 예기치 못한 파손이 발생할 수 있다. 기계적 물성은 재료의 기계적 거동을 나타내는 주요 척도가 되며 이는 신뢰성 및 안전과 직결된다. 하지만 기존의 역학물성을 측정하는 대부분의 시험법들은 특정 크기의 시편을 요구하고 파괴적인 시험법이기 때문에 가동 중 시설물에 적용하기가 불가능하였다. 이러한 한계점을 극복하고자 비파괴적이고 정량적인 시험이 가능한 연속압입시험법이 최근 각광받는 시험법으로서 많은 연구자들에 의해 연구되고 있다. 이 시험법은 시험 대상물의 형상에 제약을 받지 않으며 시험 절차가 매우 간단하다는 장점을 가진다. 또한 대상의 국소 부위에 시험할 수 있어 취약 부위 판별이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 대표응력-대표변형률 기법을 통하여 인장물성을 평가하고, 압입 하중 차이를 이용하여 소재에 존재하는 잔류응력을 평가하는 기법을 소개한다. 또한, 연속압입시험을 이용하여 실제 발전소 파이프의 취약부위로 알려진 용접부에 대하여 인장물성 및 잔류응력을 측정함으로써 실제 산업체의 신뢰성 평가가 적용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The fatigue crack growth model is derived and the retardation model is proposed. The fatigue crack growth model considers the residual plastic stretch on the crack surface which results from the plastic deformation at the tip of fatigue crack. The fatigue crack growth rate is calculated by using the cumulative fatigue damage and plastic strain energy in the material elements at the crack tip. This model gives the crack growth rate in reasonable agreement with test data for aluminum alloy AL6061-T651 and 17-4PH casting steel. The fatigue crack growth retardation model is based on the residual plastic stretch produced from a tensile overload which reduced the plastic strain range of the following load cycles. A strip-yield model of a crack tip plasticity is used for the calculation of a plastic zone size. The proposed retardation model characterized the observed features and delayed retardation of the fatigue crack growth under tensile overload.

핵융합로 제1벽 재료의 후보재로 고려되는 Fe-Cr-Mn계 스테인리스강을 진공 용해하여 이 합금의 미세 조직 및 기계적 성질 그리고 부식 특성에 미치는 Mn, W의 첨가 효과 및 소둔 열처리 온도의 효과에 대하여 실험하였다. 미세 조직 분석은 광학 현미경 관찰, XRD분석 등으로 행하였으며, 기계적 시험으로는 상온 인장 시험, 경도 시험 및 충격 시험을 행하였다. 그리고 부식 시험으로는 부식 환경을 염산과 황산으로 나누어 각 환경에서의 양극 분극 시험을 행하였다. Mn함량이 증가할수록 오스테나이트상이 증가하고 있으나, $\alpha$'마르텐사이트는 급격히 감소하는 대신$\varepsilon$마르텐사이트는 Mn함량이 20%일 때 최대간을 보인 뒤 감소하고 있다. Mn함량이 증가할 수록 또한 소둔 온도가 상승할수록 항복 강도, 인장 강도 및 경도는 감소하였으며 연신율은 증가하였다. 이러한 결과는 합금 중의 오스테나이트 및 마르텐사이트 조직의 함량과 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 판단된다. 한편 합금 중의 Mn함량이 증가할수록 부식 환경에 관계없이 부식 저항성의 변화는 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 W함량이 증가하면 환경에 관계없이 임계 전류 밀도를 감소시키나, 부동태 전류 밀도는 HCI환경에서는 감소시키고 H$_2$SO$_4$환경에서는 오히려 증가시키는 상반된 효과가 나타났다.

In this study, a fatigue testing system capable of performing load-controlled tension-tension tests for micro-specimens was developed by using an electro-magnetic actuator. Using this system, fatigue testing as well as tensile testing can be performed over a wide range of loading frequencies. Further, a new laser interferometric strain/displacement gage was used during fatigue testing to obtain high-resolution measurements of the cyclic deformation of thin films. Since the testing machine and the displacement gage are stable and show quick responses, the displacement can be measured instantaneously and continuously during fatigue testing, and high-resolution results can be obtained.

To overcome weak and brittle tensile characteristics of concrete, many studies have been conducted on fiber reinforced concrete (FRC). Recently, high performance fiber reinforced cementitious composites (HPFRCC), which shows strain hardening behavior, has been actively investigated. However, most of the studies focused on the material behavior of HPFRCC itself. Only a few studies have been conducted on the tensile behavior of HPFRCC with steel reinforcement. Therefore, a tension stiffening test for HPFRCC members has been conducted in this study in order to investigate the effect of a reinforcing bar on the tensile behavior of HPFRCC. Tensile stress-strain relationship of HPFRCC has been derived from the tests. The HPFRCC resisted tensile stress continuously from the first cracking to the yield of reinforcing bar. Through the comparison with the tensile behavior of HPFRCC members without a reinforcement, it was shown the tensile strength and capacity of HPFRCC were reduced due to the combined effect of the high shrinkage of HPFRCC, restraining effect of steel reinforcement, and the strain hardening behavior of HPFRCC. It is expected that the tension stiffening test results can be useful for an application of HPFRCC with steel reinforcement as structural members.
