Effects of two-step aging treatment on the stress corrosion cracking(SCC) resistance of 7050 Al alloy were investigated by transmission electron microscopy, electrical conductivity measurement and stress corrosion facter(SCF) evaluation. It was found that η', principal hardening phase, transformed to η during over aging above maximum hardness, and SCC resistance was improved by increasing of the size and interspacing of η particles in matrix and grain boundary. The electrical conductivity increased with aging time, but SCF decreased due to the decrease of yield strength. This results mean increase of SCC resistance The optimum two-step aging condition in forged 7050 Al alloy was to be first aged at $120^{\circ}C$ for 6h and then finally aged at $175^{\circ}C$ for 12h.

Flow behaviors of rice starch-water systems containing 3-9% (w/v) of native and gelatinized starch solutions were studied with the capillary tube rheometer in the temperature range of $30-80^{\circ}C$. Flow behaviors of rice starch-water systems showed non-Newtonion behavior which could be expressed as ${\gamma}{\;}=\;{\psi}(^{\tau}g_c-{\tau}_yg_c)^N$. Flow parameters ${\psi}$, N and $^{\tau}_y$ were determined for native and gelatinized solutions. These parameters indicated that native rice starch solution shows a dilatancy and the gelatinized solution ranges from pseudoplastic to mixed type flow behavior with increasing concentrations. The value of flow behavior index for gelatinized solutions was about 1.2 in all samples but for native solutions, the values were 0.87-0.90. The values of yield stress, which were negligible below 5%, were increased with the increase in concentration from 5 to 9%. The value of consistency index was exponentially dependent on concentration and temperature. The values of activation energy for native and gelatinized solutions were 0.13-2.71 and 5.39-9.57 kcal/g mole, respectively.

In the capacity spectrum method(CSM) using a linear response spectrum, the peak response of an inelastic system under a given earthquake load is estimated transforming the system into the equivalent elastic one. The CSM for estimating the peak inelastic response is evaluated in this paper. The equivalent period and damping ratio are calculated using the ATC-40, G lkan, Kowalsky, and Iwan methods, and the performance points are obtained according to the procedure B of ATC-40. Analysis results indicate that the ATC-40 method generally underestimates the peak response resulting in the unsafe design, while the G lkan and Kowalsky methods overestimate the responses. The Iwan method produces the values between those by the ATC-40 method and the G lkan and Kowalsky methods, and estimates the responses relatively closer to the exact ones. Further, it is found that the Kowalsky method gives the negative equivalent damping ratios depending on the hardening ratios, and thereby can not be used to estimate the responses in some cases.

This paper aims at investigating the bending strength of high-strength concrete beams with compressive strength of 80 MPa. The experimental parameters included nominal yielding strength of rebar with 400 and 600 MPa, rebar ratio ranging from 0.98 to 1.97%, and shear span-effective depth ratios (a/d) of 6.0 and 4.8. Experimental results were discussed regarding load-deflection relationship, ductility, bending strength, and prediction of bending strength of beams. Test results indicate that the use of high-strength rebar increased bending strength but decreased ductility. As span-effective depth ratio increased, the ductility of test beams decreased. In addition, test results of bending strength were compared with predictions from the current KCI code, Eurocode 2 and Korean Highway Design Specification (KHDC). The design code predictions for bending strength underestimated the experimental results. Therefore, the current design code predictions for bending strength of high-strength concrete beams would provide conservative design. Predictions of bending strength from KCI code using strength reduction factors and those from Eurocode 2 as well as KHDC using material factors were similar each other.

While perfluoroalkane (PFA), a liquid state nucleating agent for a rigid polyurethane foam (RPUF) to enhance the thermal insulation property, has the excellent nucleating characteristics, it is very expensive as well as environmentally harmful due to the fluoride compound. Many researches, therefore, have been performed to develop the alternative nucleating agents to replace PFA. In the present work, a multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) was used as a sloid state nucleating agent, and thereby the effects on the property changes of the RPUF were carried out. Average cell size decreased from 165.6 for base RPUF to $162.9{\mu}m$ and cell uniformity was also enhanced, showing the standard cell-size deviation of 45.6 and 35.2, respectively. While k-factor of base PUF was $0.01763kcal/m.hr.^{\circ}C$, that of the sample with 0.01 phr MWCNT showed 1.02% reduced value of $0.01745kcal/m.hr.^{\circ}C$. Though the compressive yield stress is nearly the same as $0.030{\times}105Pa$ for the both samples, initial modulus of the sample with 0.01 phr MWCNT was higher than that of base sample. it was considered as the results that small amount of MWCNT could play a sufficient role as the effective nucleating agent for RPUF, showing that an echo-friendly RPUF with reduced-cost could be fabricated, which has an enhanced thermal and mechanical properties.

A two-dimensional Lagrangian finite-difference computer program is developed for the wave propagation analysis of impact phenomena. The numerical scheme is the standard method originally proposed by Von Neuman and Richtmyer, using artificial viscosity to smooth shock fronts. The material model used in the study is the standard hydrodynamic-elastic-plastic relations with Von-Mises yield criterion. A test configuration consisted of a target and a projectile were calculated to understand the response of a colliding event. However, the computer code is in plane strain, the calculations were intended for generating the qualitative features of the model behaviors. Nevertheless, the computational results were consistent with the experimental observations and provided a rational basis to interpret the modes of failures.

To investigate the shear strength and hysteretic behavior of SRC column to H steel beam joints, seven cruciform specimens were fabricated and tested. The test specimens showed stable hysteresis behavior with a little pinching. The strength decreased with increase in deflection after the speciemens reached at the maximum strength. The shear strength of panel zones increased with increased in the concrete amount of SRC column sections. The shear strength may conservatively be estimated by the sum of shear yielding strength of steel column web, plastic bending strength of steel column flange and ultimate shear strength of concrete in the panel zone.

The joints are often the weakest areas in composite structures. In this paper, the thick aluminum-aluminum joint specimens and thick composite-aluminum single lap adhesive joint specimens were manufactured and the tensile tests were performed. The fracture mode of each specimen was investigated and the modified damage zone theory based on the yield strain was proposed and compared with experimental failure load of each mode. The failure loads of the thick aluminum-aluminum joint and composite-aluminum joint were predicted by the same failure criterion and they could be predicted to within 19.3% using the damage zone ratio method for all 14 cases investigated.

The properties of plasma-enhanced CVD phosphorous silicate glass (PECVD PSG) for passivation layer are studied . Phosphorous contentration was analyzed with X-ray fluores-cence. As a result, PECVD PSG has a limiting phosphors concentration of about 8 mole%. Curves relating to etcll rate, infrared absorption ratio, and sheet resistivity were adapted to monitor phosphorous concentration indirectly Dielectric properties, step coverage, crack resistance, and gettering effect are discussed in both of atmospheric pressure CVD (APCVO) and PECVD oxide. PECVD SiO2 film have density of about 2.4 g/㎤ at deposition rate of 450$\AA$/min, refractive index of about 1.53, and breakdown at fields of II-13 MV/cm. Crack resistance of PECVD oxide is greater than APCVD oxide. PECVD PSG films contained with 2 mole % phosphorous show good step coverage and gettering ability. The obtained results show more advantages in PECVD PSG than in APCVD PSG for device passivation.

The seismic base isolation design approach has been reviewed and modified to fit the nonlinear static analysis procedure for determination of the performance point of structures in a simpler way, such an adaptation may be possible for the fact that a structural system under development of damage due to earthquake loading keeps softening to result in period shifting toward longer side. The superiority of the proposed method to the state-of-the-practice approach is that the reasonably accurate performance point can be obtained without constructing the so-called acceleration displacement response spectrum required in application of capacity spectrum method. The validity of the proposed approach was verified by comparing the predicted values to the exact ones presented in the literature.
