Four point bending is used to study the dependences of bond strength of benzocyclobutene(BCB) bonded wafers and BCB thickness, the use of an adhesion promoter, and the materials being bonded. The bond strength depends linearly on BCB thickness, due to the thickness-dependent contribution of the plastic dissipation energy of the BCB and thickness independence of BCB yield strength. The bond strength increases by about a factor of two with an adhesion promoter for both $2.6{\mu}m$ and $0.4{\mu}m$ thick BCB, because of the formation of covalent bonds between adhesion promoter and the surface of the bonded materials. The bond strength at the interface between a silicon wafer with deposited oxide and BCB is about a factor of three higher than that at the interface between a glass wafer and BCB. This difference in bond strength is attributed to the difference in Si-O bond density at the interfaces. At the interfaces between plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposited (PECVD) oxide coated silicon wafers and BCB, and between thermally grown oxide on silicon wafers and BCB, 12~13 and $15{\sim}16bonds/nm^2$ need to be broken. This corresponds to the observed bond energies, $G_0s$, of 18 and $22J/m^2$, respectively. Maximum 7~8 Si-O $bonds/nm^2$ are needed to explain the $5J/m^2$ at the interfaces between glass wafers and BCB.

Two NbCx-C1-x/Y2O3/Ti sputter-coated Al2O3 substrates (L 5.5 cm$\times$W 0.5 cm) were diffusion bonded together using hot press method at 95$0^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours under 1 MPa of applied pressure. 4 points bending tests were used to evaluate the mechanical performance of these precracked laminate beams. Two types of mechanical responses were observed: crack penetration through the interface for x=0.75, 1 and crack deflection into an interface for x=0.25, 0.5. The Al2O3/NbCx-C1-x/Y2O3/Ti system suggested here has been proves to be effective for the thermokinetical stability and tailorability of the interfaces of Al2O3/Ti composites at 95$0^{\circ}C$.

This study is investigate the bending behavior of real size RC beams strengthened with carbon fiber sheets. For experimental study, 1 control beam and 8 strengthened beams of real size(4 NU-beams and 4 U-beams) are tested and compared. NU-beam has not a V-shaped band and V-beam has a V-shaped band. The variables of experiment are composed of the number of carbon fiber sheets, the existence of U-shaped band, and four point loading, etc. The experimental results showed that the strengthening system with U-shaped band controls the premature debonding and provides a more ductile failure mode than the strengthening system without V-shaped band. It can be found from the load-deflection curves that as the number of fiber sheets is increased, the maximum strength and the flexural rigidity is increased. For the strengthening method with carbon fiber sheets of the real size RC beams, it is required the finding a solution to the bonding problem.

Effect of mixing homogeneity in powder mixtures of Si3N4 and sintering additive (10mol% YAG) prepared by coprecipitation on the mechanical properties of pressureless-sintered body was investigated. Sintering was performed in a graphtie furnace at 1850℃ for 0.5h under 0.15MPa N2 atmosphere using Si3N4 powder bed. Results from the measurement of Young's modulus, Vickers hardness, 4-point-bending strength, and KIC for the coprecipitation-treated (CP) and the mechanically-mixed specimens(MM) showed that a remarkable improvement in flexural strength and Weibull parameter can be achieved for the CPspecimens: (677±68MPa, 12.0) for CP samples and (539±108MPa, 5.5) for MM. Other properties were almost same irrespective of preparation methods.

The resistance-demand approach has emerged as an effective approach for determining the shear capacity of reinforced concrete beams. This approach is based on the fact that both the shear resistance and shear demand are correlated with flexural tensile strain from compatibility and equilibrium requirements. The basic shear strength, under a given loading is determined from the intersection of the demand and resistance curves. This paper verifies the applicability of resistance-demand procedure for predicting the shear capacity of high strength concrete beams without web reinforcement. A total of 18 beams were constructed and tested in four-point bending up to failure. The test variables included the longitudinal reinforcement ratio, the shear span to depth ratio, and the beam depth. The shear capacity of the beams was predicted using the proposed procedure and compared with the experimental values. The results of the comparison showed good prediction capability and can be useful to design practice.

This paper presents the behavior of geopolymer concrete beams reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars. In the study, ordinary Portland cement concrete and geopolymer concrete beams having GFRP bars were prepared and tested under four-point loading. The load-deflection diagrams and load capacities of the tested beams were obtained. It was observed that the tested beams exhibited good ductility and significant deflection capacity. The results showed that increasing the tension GFRP reinforcement ratio caused enhancement in the strength capacity of geopolymer concrete beams. In addition, the tested beams were analyzed to obtain the load capacity and the load-deflection responses. The theoretical load-deflection curves and load bearing capacities have been predicted well with the test results. Parametric study has been performed to determine the influences of concrete strength, shear span to depth ratio (a/d) and reinforcement ratio on the behavior of geopolymer concrete beams longitudinally reinforced with GFRP bars. It was concluded that increasing concrete strength led to an increase in load capacity. Besides, the ultimate load increased as the reinforcement ratio increased. On the other hand, increasing a/d ratio reduced the ultimate load value of GFRP reinforced geopolymer concrete beams.

Various material characteristics of HSA800 steel were examined and a quantitative criteria about the homogeneity of the strength was proposed. Whether HSA800 steel is satisfied the criteria for homogeneity of the strength or not was also examined. From the test results, the material characteristics of 1/4 point from the extreme fiber in the Z-direction satisfied the KS requirements. The excellent directional properties and impact resistance at low temperatures were also showed from the test results. HSA800 steel satisfied the criteria of homogeneity for the strength of the steel. However, it showed that some structures were banded together at 2/4 point from extreme fiber in the Z-direction from the microscopic tests and attention is needed to be paid in that point.

This study was performed to evaluate the flexural behavior of polymer concrete sandwich panels which was made of unsaturated polymer resin. Bending tests under 4point loading was conducted for the 8 type of sandwich panel with different core and facing thickness. Results show that Load-Deflection, shearing force- shear strain, moment strength - strain relationships were effected by core and facing thickness.
