The Fiber/Metal Laminates (FMLs) have been developed as a new composite material for aerospace application to reduce weight and improve damage tolerance. In this study, firstly FMLs were manufactured and the tensile test was performed to investigate the mechanical properties of FMLs. Furthermore, impact behavior of the low velocity on FMLs which consisted of different types of aluminum or fiber/epoxy layers was tested by the drop weight impact tester based on the different impact energy conditions. The load-time and energy-time curves were employed to evaluate the impact performance of different specimens. Moreover, finite element analysis (FEA) was also performed to simulate the tensile test and impact behavior of FMLs under the same conditions with the tests and good agreements have been obtained between the FEA predictions and experimental results.

Impact-echo test is a non-destructive testing method to determine dynamic properties of a material. This presentation introduces the experimental set-up and procedure of the test for rock specimens. In addition, the test results of domestic rocks collected in 5 different areas, a cement mortar and aluminium alloy are presented. The test results include resonance frequencies of P- and S-wave as well as damping ratios of the described 7 different materials. The differences between dynamic and static values of elastic moduli are about 10%, while the dynamic Poisson's ratios are greater than the static Poisson's ratios by at least 0.07. The damping ratio is dependent on the joint density and degree of weathering of a rock specimen.

In this study, a low-velocity impact test was performed to obtain the dynamic properties of solid propellants. The dynamic behavior of the solid propellant was examined by measuring the force and displacement of the impactor during the low-velocity impact test. The bending displacement was calculated by compensating for the local displacement caused by the low-velocity impact test in the form of three point bending and the shear displacement caused by using a short and thick solid propellant specimen. Stress and strain were calculated using compensated displacements and measured force, and dynamic properties of solid propellants were obtained from the stress-strain curve and compared with static bending test. The dynamic properties of solid propellant under the low-velocity impact loading at various operating temperature conditions such as room temperature(20 ℃), high temperature(63 ℃), and low temperature(-32 ℃) were compared and investigated.

Condition assessment of concrete structures is essential since their performance affects public safety. Impact resonance testing has been widely used for the nondestructive testing of the concrete structures. In this article, the background, basic principles of the impact resonance testing were described. Not only laboratory studies but also the field applications such as basement concrete of large structure and large slurry wall are described.

Bullet and fragment impact test with rocket motors was performed and characteristics of the results were analyzed. The material of the motor case was carbon epoxy composite. The motor was loaded with HTPE propellants to improve the insensitive munitions characteristics. In the tests, sound pressure and heat flux sensors were used to determine the category of response according to the standard. The reaction response of all of the HTPE motors impacted by bullet and fragment was judged as Type V burning.

교각에서의 기초세굴 단계 및 상부구조물의 영향에 따른 진동특성을 파악하기 위해 교각 시험체를 이용하여 충격진동실험과 Midas FEA ver.2.0를 이용한 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 기초세굴 모의는 교각시험체 기초 주위의 지반을 단계별로 굴착하였으며, 상부구조물의 영향은 철근콘크리트 블록을 제작하여 교각 시험체 위에 재하하였다. 충격진동실험과 수치해석결과, 강성이 작아지거나 질량이 커질수록 1차 모드 고유진동수도 작아지는 등 유사한 경향을 나타내었다. 대체적으로 충격진동실험으로 구한 1차모드 고유진동수는 수치해석으로 구한 값보다 작은 경향을 나타내었으며, 이는 지반의 강성변화를 수치해석 모델에서 연속적으로 반영하지 못하는 한계로 인해 발생한 오차로 판단된다. 따라서 1차 모드 고유진동수의 변화를 이용한 교각 세굴 건전성 평가를 위한 유한요소해석을 위해서는 지반물성을 보다 잘 모의할 수 있는 기법의 개발이 필요하였다.

다중패커시스템은 격리된 어느 특정 구간의 지하수를 채수할 수 있으며 그 구간의 온도, 압력 등의 자료를 연속적으로 관측할 수 있어 이를 통해 각 구간별 수리전도도를 구할 수 있다. 심도별 수직적 지하수두는 지상에서 연결 롯드를 통해 압력 측정 센서를 해당 심도까지 내려 롯드에서 설치된 압력 측정용 장비에서 관측할 수 있으며, 다중패커시스템을 이용한 수리시험으로는 양수시험, 순간충격시험, 간섭시험 등이 있는데, 본 논문에서는 순간충격시험을 이용한 결과를 제시하였다. 도출된 구간별 수리전도도를 다중패커시스템을 설치하기 전 나공에서 이중 패커를 이용한 정압주입시험의 결과와 비교하여 보았다. 다중패커시스템을 통해 획득된 심도별 지하수두는 정수두 (hydro-static)상태의 일정한 경향성이 없이, 각 심도에 존재하는 투수성 구조에 영향을 보이고 있음을 알 수 있었으며, 이는 다수의 관측공을 통해 수평 방향의 수리경사를 산출함에 있어 관측공의 심도에 대한 충분한 고려가 있어야 한다고 판단된다. 또한, 다중패커시스템을 이용한 수리시험 결과를 나공 상태에서 이중 패커를 이용한 정압주입시험 결과에 대해 심도별 도출되는 수리전도도가 국지적으로 분포하는 투수성 구조에 영향으로 인해 투수량계수 (transmissivity)로 환산한 유효 투수계수로 비교하여 결정질 암반의 수리 특성으로 제안하는 것이 타당한 것으로 분석되었다.

This research is focused on the investigation of impact strength and the microscopic observation of material behavior of glass fiber reinforced polypropylene in solid phase forming. The fiber weight per-centage of the composite materials was 20%, 30% and 40%. The solid-phase formed specimens were pre-strained to 10%,20%. and 30% strain levels. The forming temperatures of specimens were $100^{\circ}C$, $125^{\circ}C$ and $150^{\circ}C$. Izod impact test was performed with unnotched specimens. With increasing the glass fiber content ; the impact strength was increased.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the performance of shock absorption of recycled bumper applied to the standard of shock absorption for newly-developed bumper. For the experiment, two different passenger cars which have different types of bumper were selected. In this work, two kinds of reused bumpers were tested in accordance with an automotive safety regulation to verify exterior bumpers' impact energy absorption performance. The performance results of reused bumper test show that the shock absorption performance indicated the almost same performance and similar characteristics of 2.5 miles bumper test compared to the absorption performance of new bumper of test vehicles.

Components such as pressure vessel, hydraulic hose assembly, accumulator, hydraulic cylinder, hydraulic valve, pipe, etc., are tested under the impulse-pressure conditions prescribed in ISO and SAE standards. The impulse pressure test machine needs to have a high pressure, a precise control system and a long life. It should satisfy the requirements for fabrication of the impulse tester to generate ultra high pressure in the hydraulic system. In the impulse tester, a servo-valve control system is adopted; although the control application is convenient, it is expensive owing to the cost of developing the system. The type of the control system determines the pressure wave, which affects the components that are tested. In this study, the manufacturing process and the intensifier system design related to the flow, pressure, and the increasing rate of pressure are investigated. The results indicate the ultra high pressure waves in the system.
