Toughening mechanisms and mechanical properties of three different polyolefin-based composite systems we studied using the tensile, Izod impact and double-notch lout-point-bending (DN-4PB) test, which is well known be an effective tool for probing the failure mechanism (s) around the subcritically propagated crack tip. Microscopy observations such as optical microscopy and transmission electron microscopy were carried out lot the test samples. A detailed investigation clearly shows that a variety of toughening mechanisms, i.e., shear yielding, craze, particle-matrix debonding, rubber particle cavitation, crack deflection and bifurcation, are observed around crack tip damage zone. These toughening mechanisms are responsible for the observed, improved fracture toughness. Based on this study, DN-4PB technique is sufficient to obtain the information needed to describe the fracture behavior of polyolefin-based composites as well as their corresponding toughening mechanisms.

철강구조물 부재 내에 노치나 균열이 존재할 수 있고, 외부의 피로하중에 의하여 취약부에서 발생한 균열이 진전하여 전구조물의 최종파손을 야기시킬 수 있다. 부재를 보다 안전하게 사용하고 또한 신뢰성을 확보하기 위해서는 이미 손상된 부재에서 균열의 진전상태를 계측할 수 있는 방법이 확립되어져야 하고, 파괴역학적 파라미터를 이용한 사용재의 균열진전거동특성이 평가되어야 한다. 균열길이의 측정방법은 지금까지 많은 연구자들에 의하여 개발되어져 왔는데 크게 광학현미경을 이용하여 육안으로 직접 균열길이를 측정하는 방법과 컴플라이언스, 초음파, AE 또는 전기적 신호를 통하여 얻어진 결괄부터 균열길이로 환산하는 간접적인 방법으로 대별된다. 대부분의 균열길이의 측정방법은 많은 수작업이 요구되고, 특히 하한계응력확대계수영역의 미세한 균열진전량을 측정하기에는 어려움이 따르고 있다. 이에 대하여 전도체 시험편에 일정전류를 흐르게 하고 균열길이의 증가에 따라 변화하는 전위차로 이를 균열길이로 평가하는 전기적인 측정방법이 있다. 이 방법은 실험장치가 비교적 간단하고 미세한 균열길이의 측정이 용이하여 균열길이의 직접적인 측정이 곤란한 고온역 그리고 충격하중하에서의 균열길이 측정에 이용이 확대되고 있다. 이 글에서는 여러 균열길이 측정방법의 장.단점에 대하여 고찰하고, 그 중 많은 장점을 갖고 있는 직류전위차법의 실험방법을 소개한다.

우리는 가끔 도로상에 설치되어 있는 맨홀뚜껑이 뒤집혀 있는 것을 보거나, 맨홀뚜껑 이탈로 인한 차량 파손 소식을 접할 수 있다. 맨홀뚜껑은 일반적으로 도로나 보도에 많이 설치되어 있고, 현재 사용중인 KS규격의 맨홀뚜껑은 마모 및 충격 등 여러 가지 복합적 요인으로 인하여 소음이 발생하고, 또한 극히 일부는 도로에서 이탈하여 인적, 물적 피해를 발생시키고 있는 실정이며 이를 방지하기 위해 많은 연구와 제품 등이 만들어 지고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 KS규격 맨홀뚜껑의 정적 및 동적 특성을 각종 해석프로그램과 진동실험을 통해 분석하였고, 파라미터 해석을 통한 거동의 핵심 요소 등을 확인하였다. 이러한 분석결과는 보다 안전하고 경제적인 맨홀뚜껑을 개발하는데 중요한 기초자료로 활용될 것이라 판단된다.

지중매설관은 경우에 따라 긴 수송거리를 보이기 때문에 부식 및 충격에 의한 파손 등에 대한 모니터링이 어려운 실정이다. 이러한 조건을 극복하기 위하여 복합관 및 다중관을 설치하고 있으나, 이에 대한 연구는 아직 미비한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 발파진동원에서 고정된 이격거리, 매설심도에서 배관 상단에 특정 진동속도를 발생시키는 발파 하중을 고려하여, 이격거리에 대한 수치해석을 수행하였으며 장약량에 따른 이격거리와 발파효율을 측정하였다. 실험값과 수치해석 값의 오차는 발파지점에서 가까울수록 크게 나타났으며 발파지점과 마주보는 방향이 반대방향보다 크게 나타났다.

On August 4, 2020, 2750 tons of ammonium nitrate stored in a storage warehouse at the Port of Beirut exploded. This explosion is said to be the largest ammonium nitrate explosion ever. By applying the TNT equivalency method, TNT equivalent amount corresponding to the explosion energy of 2750 tons of ammonium nitrate was calculated, and it is found to be 856 tons. Overpressure and impulse were calculated in a range up to 3600 m from the blast using the Kingery-Bulmash explosion parameter calculator tool. As the distance from the explosion center increases, the overpressure and impulse decrease exponentially, but the overpressure decreases more significantly, showing that overpressure is more affected by distance than the impact. As a result of applying the damage criteria to evaluate the effects of overpressure and impulse on the structure, the critical distances at which partial collapse, major damage, and minor damage to the structure occur are found to be approximately 500, 800, and 2200 m from the center of the explosion, respectively. The probit function was applied to evaluate the probability of damage to structures and human body. The points where the probability of collapse, major damage, minor damage, and breakage of window-panes to structures are greater than 50% are found to be approximately 500, 810, 2200, and 3200 m, respectively. For people within 200 m from the center of the explosion, the probability of death due to lung damage is more than 99%, and the 50% probability of eardrum rupture is approximately 300 m. The points with a 100% probability of death due to skull rupture and whole body impact due to whole body displacement are evaluated to be 300 and 100 m, respectively.

A design development test for carbon/epoxy composite laminates for an aircraft flight control system is performed. The design development test includes moisture absorbing test, tensile, compressive, bearing and lap shear tests. The moisture absorbing behavior for different fiber orientation angles is investigated and the changes in mechanical characteristics are compared. In the in-plane tensile test, the effect of damages such as scratches and impacts is studied. The bearing test is performed for different fastening types. The resulting design allowable stress and environmental load enhancement factor are used for the structural analysis and certification tests for the flight control system.

Composite rotor blades for rotorcraft have an intrinsic vulnerability to foreign object impact from its inherent structural characteristics of insufficient strength in the thickness direction, which may easily lead to internal structure damage. Therefore, defects and strength reducing effects caused by foreign object impact should be considered in fatigue evaluation of composite blades. For this purpose, the flaw tolerant safe-life and fail-safe concepts were adopted in fatigue evaluation since 1980s, and recently those concepts have been replaced by the damage tolerance concept. In this paper, the relevant standards for fatigue evaluation are analyzed focusing on fiber reinforced composite rotor blades used in rotorcraft. In addition, fatigue evaluation procedure of composite blades considering impact damages is proposed by reviewing the practices implemented through domestic development projects.

A rubber diaphragm is a critical element of accumulators. The material of a diaphragm is nitrile rubber so as to recover and adjust the large deformation under external pressure fluctuation. The performance of accumulators is influenced by the deformation behaviors of the diaphragm. A large deformation behavior of the diaphragm has been investigated using the commercial finite element program MARC K7.1. The several elastic moduli have been used in linear analysis and Ogden's coefficients have been used in non-linear analysis. As a result, it has been shown that the deformation behavior with a elastic modulus of $0.3 kg/mm^2$ is similar to the behavior of non-linear analysis. And, the modified diaphragm shape to reduce the stress concentration has been proposed.

This paper presents an experimental study on the failure characteristics of SnAgCu lead-free solder balls. To estimate the effect of Ag, three types of SnAgCu balls are first prepared by varying the weight percent of Ag(1.0, 3.0, 4.0 wt%) and then analyzed by reliability tests such as thermal shock, high speed ball shear, and drop tests. Thermal shock test reveals that the higher the weight percent of Ag is, the longer the fatigue lift becomes. To the contrary, high speed ball-shear test and drop test show that the shear strength and the fracture toughness of solder balls are inversely proportional to the weight percent of Ag, respectively, Reasons for these observations will be further investigated In the future work.

The aim of the current work is to characterise a piecewisely-integrated composite bumper beam based on the IIHS bumper crash protocol. IIHS bumper crash FE analysis for an aluminium type bumper beam was carried out to get the information about the dominant loading types at several regions in the bumper beam during crash. In the meantime, robust stacking sequences against tension and compression have been searched for using FE analysis of a coupon type model. After determining most effective stacking sequences for tension and compression, three-point bending simulation was preliminarily carried out to investigate the combination performance of them. Finally, IIHS bumper crash FE analysis for the piecewisely-integrated composite bumper beam, which consisted of the combination of tension effective stacking sequence and compression efficacious stacking sequence, was conducted and the result was compared with other types of composite bumper beams. It was found that the newly suggested piecewisely-integrated composite bumper beam showed superior crashworthy behaviour to those of uni-modal stacking sequence composite bumper beams.
