Transplanted cortical bone grafts of freeze-dried bones also function as sustaining for defected bones, however, it has less strength and is fragile without rehydration. In this study, strength and stiffness of freeze-dried bone from bovine cortical bones were evaluated by three point bending test according to different time frames such as rehydration times of 0.5, 3, 6, 12 and 24 hrs in electrolyte solution and was compared with those of frozen bones. The strength and stiffness of frozen bone were $264.4\pm36.7$ MPa, $17.0\pm1.5$ GPa, respectively. The strength and stiffness of freeze-dried bone which fat was removed by treatments of chloroform-methanol solutions for 6 days, then was freeze-dried at $-80^{\circ}C$ and sterilized with ethylene oxide gas, were $224.9\pm27.6$ MPa, $19.2\pm2.8$ GPa, respectively. The strength and stiffness of feeze-dried bone were decreased 15.0% and increased 13.2% than these of frozen bone, respectively. The strength and stiffness of freeze-dried bone rehydrated for 6 hrs were restored to 96.0% strength and 99.2% stiffness of frozen bone. The rehydration time of freeze-dried bone which had the highest strength and stiffness was six hours and three hours, respectively. The results of the mathematica program for the variation of the strength and stiffness showed 3 hours and 30 minutes of rehydration time in electrolyte solution for the best condition in the strength and stiffness which was adequate to treat freeze-dried cortical bone.

This paper deals with the flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete beams by means of thin fiber reinforced plastic(FRP) laminas. This study focuses on modeling of structural of concrete bonded FRP laminate in flexural bending members. Used computational equation is derived by relation of stress and strain. The section analysis is based on experimental observations of a linear strain distribution in the cross section until failure, and a multi-linear moment-deflection curve that is divided into four regions, each terminated by a similarly numbered point. The load-deflection relationship in each region is assumed to be linear. The present model is validated to compare wit the experiment of 4-point bending tests of R/C rectangular beams strengthened with CFRP laminates, and has well predicted the moment-displacement relationships of members.

Reaction bonded silicon carbide(RBSC) composite for heat-exchanger was fabricated by molten Si infiltration method. The raw materials with variable particle sizes were used in this experience. The finer the particle size in sintered silicon carbide was the more increasing 3-point bending strength and fracture toughness. As the adaptable particle sizes had been occupied interstice arising from packing sample, the mechanical properties were increased. In the PCS1-1 sample, the 3-point bending strength and fracture toughness were 323MPa and $4.9\;MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$, respectively.

In order to prevent the possibility of mixing of metal powder during food grinding processing with the metal roll mill this study was conducted to develope the materials of ceramics roll as a substitute of gray cast iron mill. Since the ceramics is brittle material and can be broken easily by a crack, it was needed to develope engineering ceramics roll materials with high elastic modulus and fracture toughness. Adding 0∼50 wt% Al$_2$O$_3$as densification additives to porcelain body material and forming the ceramics an different condition, mechanical properties were evaluated. The material structure’s densification process was analyzed by SEM and XRD. The evaluation of the mechanical properties of ceramics roll materials were compared and analyzed by non-destructive test using Young’s modulus and destructive test using 3-point bending strength and fracture toughness. The results showed several correlative results. Porcelain body material with 40 wt% Al$_2$O$_3$content heated at 1,200$\^{C}$ for 5h was high bulk density of 2.77, Young’s modulus of 118.4Gpa, 3-point bending strength of 137 MPa and fracture toughness of 2.88 MPa$.$m$\^$$\sfrac{1}{2}$/ . After analyzing the relationship between non-destructive test and destructive test, the coefficient of determination was more than 0.9. Therefore, the evaluation of non-destructive test by ultrasonic was turned out to be feasible in evaluating the mechanical properties of ceramics.

This paper presents the flexural performance of double skin composite beams (DSCBs) at different Arctic low temperatures. 12 DSCBs were prepared and tested under two-point loading at different Arctic low temperatures of 20, -30, -50, and -70℃. The studied parameters include low-temperature level (T), steel-faceplate thickness (t), shear span ratio (λ), and spacing of headed studs (S). The experimental investigations under two-point loading tests showed that flexural failure occurred to all DSCBs, even including the specimen designed with the small λ ratio of 2.9. The ultimate strength behaviours of DSCBs were improved due to the improved mechanical properties of constructional materials and the confinement on shear connectors. The DSCB subjected to two-point loading and low temperatures exhibits a five-stage working mechanism. The stiffness and strength indexes of DSCBs increase linearly with temperature and t value increasing, while decreasing as shear span ratio boosts. In the contrast, the change of S value from 150 to 200 mm has little effect on the ultimate strength behavior of DSCB.

A quantitative study of impact damage of a soda-lime glass was carried out. An initiation and a propagation of cracks by the impact of two inds of steel ball was investigated. The fron, side and rear view of cracks were observed by a stereo-microscope. And the lowering of the benidng strength due to the impact of steel balls was examined through the 4-point bending test. A transparent glass is very helpful to understand and analyze the impact damage behavior of another brittle matereial. A deagdram about crack patterns according to the threshold impact velocity was sketched. A ring crack and a cone crack were formed at the low impact velocity. And as the impact velocity was higher, initial lateral crack was generated on the slanting surface of cone crack, and radial cracks were generated from the outermost ring crack. When the impact velocity of steel balls exceed a critical velocity, the contact site of specimens were crushed. According to the propagation of a cone crack, a rapid strength degradation occurred. In the specimen having crushed region, a bending strength was converged to a constant value instead of strength degradation.

The recent semiconductor packaging technology is evolving into a high-performance system-in-packaging (SIP) structure, and copper-to-copper bonding process becomes an important core technology to realize SIP. Copper-to-copper bonding process faces challenges such as copper oxidation and high temperature and high pressure process conditions. In this study, the bonding interface quality of low-temperature copper-to-copper bonding using a two-step plasma treatment was investigated through quantitative bonding strength measurements. Our two-step plasma treatment formed copper nitride layer on copper surface which enables low-temperature copper bonding. The bonding strength was evaluated by the four-point bending test method and the shear test method, and the average bonding shear strength was 30.40 MPa, showing that the copper-to-copper bonding process using a two-step plasma process had excellent bonding strength.

Since the ceramic/metal joint material is made at a high temperature, the residual stress development when it is cooled from bonding temperature to room temperature due to remarkable difference of thermal expansion coefficient between ceramic and metal. As residual stress at ceramic/metal joints influences the strength of joints, it is important to estimate residual stress quantitatively. In this study, it is attempted to estimate joint residual stress of $Si_3N_4/STS304$ joints quantitatively and to compare the strength of Joints. The difference of residual stress is measured when repeated thermal cycle is loaded under the conditions of the practical use of the ceramic/metal joint. And 4-point bending test is performed to examine the influence of residual stress on fracture strength. As a residual it is known that the stress of joint decreases as the number of thermal cycle increases.

This study is to examine bond strength of beam reinforced with GFRP rebar under 4-point bending test by adopting BRITISH STANDARD. The variables were made to have bonding length of 5times$(5d_b)$, 10times$(10d_b)$ and 15times$(15d_b)$ of the nominal diameter of GFRP rebar and were done to analyze the relationship between the bonding strength and the slip. In the result of the test, pull-out failure was dominant in the $5d_b$ and $10d_b$ specimen, both patterns of the pull-out failure and concrete splitting failure appeared in the $10d_b$. On the other hand, the $15d_b$ specimen showed only concrete splitting failure at the end of bonding length. Therefore, it was prove that available bonding length of the GFRP rebar under bending condition on static test is over $15d_b$ then farther research such as fatigue bending test, development of bonding model, FEM parameter study should be performed.
