The commutator of an automotive fuel pump motorhas been produced through various processes such as forging, segmenting, and assembling. And the conventional method producing the commutator of an automotive fuel pump motor is not appropriate for saving material and cost, because it makes each segment separated one by one. Therefore a new process design is required in order to avoid the assembling process. In this study, a new process design of the commutator has been carried out to save material and manufacturing time by FE analysis. In the FE analysis, three forging processes are proposed for producing copper(ASTM C11000) commutator of an automotive fuel pump motor. And forging experiments are performed to make an unsegmented commutator in order to verify the theoretically proposed process. And then, in order to get the final product the forged commutator is passed through various postprocessing such as machining, bending, resin forming, and shearing process. From the experimental result the forging process proposed from the FE analysis is verified to be an economical method for producing the commutator for an automotive fuel pump motor.

Cast stainless steel may experience embrittlement when it is exposed approximately to 300$\^{C}$ for a long period. In the present investigation, the three classes of the thermally-aged CF8M specimen were prepared using an artificially-accelerated aging method. After the specimens were held for 300, 1800 and 3600hrs. at 430$\^{C}$, respectively, the specimens were quenched in water which is at room temperature. Load versus load line displacement curves and J-R curves were obtained using the unloading compliance method. talc values were obtained using the ASTM E813-87 and ASTM E 813-81 methods. In addition to these methods, talc values were obtained using the SZW (stretch zone width) method described in JSME S 001-1981. The results of the unloading compliance method are J$\_$Q/=543.9kJ/㎡ for virgin materials. The values of J$\_$IC/ for the degraded materials at 300, 1800 and 3600hrs. are obtained 369.25kJ/㎡, 311.02kJ/㎡, 276.7kJ/㎡, respectively. The results obtained by the SZW method are compared with those obtained by the unloading compliance method. Both results are quite similar. Through the elastic-plastic fracture toughness test, it is found that the value of loc is decreased with an increase of the aging time.

Namely, after the specimen are held for 300, 1800 and 3600hrs. at 43$0^{\circ}C$ respectively, the specimens are quenched in water to room temperature. Load versus load line displacement curves and J-R curves are obtained using the unloading compliance method. $J_{IC}$ values are obtained following ASTM E 813-87 and ASTM E 813-81 methods. In addition to these methods, JIC values are obtained using SZW(stretch zone width) method described in JSME S 001-1981. The results of the unloading compliance method are $J_Q$=485.7 kJ/m$^2$ for virgin material, $J_{IC}$ of the degraded materials associated with 300, 1800 and 3600hrs are obtained 369.25 kJ/m$^2$, 311.02 kJ/m$^2$, 276.7 kJ/m$^2$, respectively. The results of SZW method are similar to those of the unloading compliance method. Through the elastic-plastic fracture toughness test, it is found that the value of $J_{IC}$ is decreased with increasing of the aging time. The results obtained through the investigation can provide reference data for a leak before break(LBB) of reactor coolant system of nuclear power plants.

In this study, a standardized test method to analyze tensile properties of multi-directional GFRP plate was proposed. Presently, tensile strength test of FRP composite reinforced with isotropic and orthotropic fiber is standardized according to ISO standard. Also, even though many studies were performed on test method to analyze the dynamic properties, the properties of tensile strength for multi-directional GFRP plate were not clearly identified. Currently, the domestic test method in accordance with ASTM, which is applicable to unidirectional FRP plate, gave tensile test results greater than actual properties. Thus, in this study, GFRP tensile test was conducted using the method found to be commonly applicable to all standards based on literature review of domestic and international references. Then, anchorage length experiments were performed using the proposed tension test method to evaluate validity of the method. Finally, optimal anchorage length was estimated from the numerical analysis to propose the standardized tensile strength method for GFRP multi-directional composite evaluation.

Various methods (OECD 301B, ISO 9439 and ASTM 5864) for biodegradability test of lubricants were reviewed, and a standard procedure was developed. Most lubrication products are released in rivers or sea then is degraded by microbial action in aerobic condition. Most international method are based on $CO_2$ evolution test. Inoculum obtained from a sewage disposal plant and test compound are cultivated in a mineral medium. Organic carbon of the test compound is degraded and oxidized through the enzymatic actions of inoculum, and ultimately mineralized to carbon dioxide. Biodegradability test conditions of lubricant oils were optimized. The highest biodegradability was achieved when the same medium as in ASTM 5864 and inoculum concentration of $10^4{\sim}10^5$ cell/L were used. The optimum standard materials were selected as aniline and sodium acetate. Additionally the effects of inoculum type on microbial growth and biodegradability were examined. Finally the standard operating procedure (SOP) for biodegradability test method was proposed.

The concrete pavement at Seohae Expressway in Korea has suffered from serious distress, only after four to seven years of construction. The deterioration of ASR has seldom been reported per se in Korea, because the aggregate used for the cement concrete has been considered safe against alkali-silica reaction so far. The purpose of this study is to examine the expansion behavior of aggregates of Korea due to alkali-silica reaction by ASTM C 1260 standard method of the accelerated mortar bar test (AMBT), stereo microscopic analysis, scanning electronic microscope (SEM) analysis, and electron dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX) analysis. The results are presented as it follows. The accelerated mortar bar test (AMBT) showed that mica granite and felsite of igneous rocks, aroke, red sandstone and shale of sedimentary rocks, slate of metamorphic rock, and dendrite and quartz of mineral rock showed more expansion than 0.1% at 14 days. But, some sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks expanded more than 0.1% at 28 days even though they were less than 0.1% at 14 days. The mortar bars, which showed more than occurred 0.1% expansion, resulted in cracking on surface. SEM and EDX analysis confirmed that the white gel was a typical reaction product of ASR. The ASR gel in Korea mainly consisted of Silicate (Si) and Potassium (K) from the cement. The crack in the concrete pavement was caused by ASR. It seems that Korea is no longer safe zone against alkali-silica reaction.

This paper provides the compressive failure strength value of composite laminate developed by using regression analysis method. Composite material in this document is a Carbon/Epoxy unidirection(UD) tape prepreg(Cycom G40-800/5276-1) cured at $350^{\circ}F(177^{\circ}C$). The operating temperature is -$-60^{\circ}F{\sim}+200^{\circ}F$($-55^{\circ}C{\sim}+95^{\circ}C$). A total of 56 compression tests were conducted on specimens from eight (8) distinct laminates that were laid up by standard angle layers ($0^{\circ}$, $+45^{\circ}$, $-45^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$). The ASTM-D-6484 standard was used for test method. The regression analysis was performed with the response variable being the laminate ultimate fracture strength and the regressor variables being two ply orientations ($0^{\circ}$ and ${\pm}45^{\circ}$).

In this paper, the total procedure for composite laminate mechanical joint (ASTM D5961 Proc. A, B) from fixture design to test analysis was showed. Composite laminate mechanical joints were analyzed using the FEM(Finite Element Method) and compared to test results. A progressive failure analysis was applied to FEM to analyze the failure behavior of test specimens. Three failure theories - maximum stress, maximum strain, and Tsai-Wu were applied to FEM to predict test failure load. General parameters for composite laminate joints were reviewed and the differences of bearing strength were compared with major parameters.
