Rubber components are widely used in many application such as vibration isolators, damping, ride quality. Rubber spring is used in primary suspension system for railway vehicle. Characteristics and useful life prediction of rubber spring was very important in design procedure to assure the safety and reliability. Non-linear properties of rubber material which are described as strain energy function are important parameter to design and evaluate of rubber spring. These are determined by physical tests which are uniaxial tension, equi-biaxial tension and pure shear test. The computer simulation was executed to predict and evaluate the load capacity and stiffness for rubber spring. In order to investigate the useful life, the acceleration test were carried out. Acceleration test results changes as the threshold are used for assessment of the useful life and time to threshold value were plotted against reciprocal of absolute temperature to give the Arrhenius plot. By using the acceleration test, several useful life prediction for rubber spring were proposed.

본 논문에서는 수치 해석 방법을 이용하여 $In_{x}Ga_{1-x}N/GaN$ (x=0.06~0.1) 양자우물 구조의 에너지 준위를 계산하였다. InGaN 벌크 샘플(bulk sample)의 PL(photoluminescence) 데이터로부터 bowing factor를 결정한 후 InGaN의 유효 에너지 밴드갭을 계산하였고, InGaN/GaN 양자우물 구조의 전도대와 가전자대의 오프셋(offset)을 0.67/0.33으로 정하였다. 다음으로, 양자화 효과에 의한 에너지 변위와 압전장(piezoelectric field)을 제외한 양축 압축 변형(biaxial compressive strain)에 의한 에너지 변위를 고려하여 기저준위 전자와 heavy hole(le-1hh)간의 천이 에너지를 계산하였다. 계산된 천이 에너지는 PL로 측정한 천이 에너지에 비해 약 9~15 meV 크게 관찰되었는데, 이것은 InGaN/GaN 양자우물 계면에 발생하는 압전장 때문인 것으로 생각된다.

Chevron rubber springs are used in primary suspensions for rail vehicle. Chevron rubber spring have function which reduce vibration and noise, support load carried in operation of rail vehicle. Prediction and evaluation of characteristics are very important in design procedure to assure the safety and reliability of the rubber spring. The computer simulation using the nonlinear finite element analysis program executed to predict and evaluate the load capacity and stiffness for the chevron spring. The non-linear properties of rubber which are described as strain energy functions are important parameters. These are determined by material tests which are uniaxial tension, equi-biaxial tension and shear test. The appropriate shape and material properties are proposed to adjust the required characteristics of rubber springs in the three modes of flexibility.

TPE is used as alternative for rubber, the best example is the weather strip for automobile. The nonlinear material properties of weather strip were important to predict the behaviors of weather strip. Uniaxial tension and equi-biaxial tension tests were performed to achieve the nonlinear material constant and stress-strain curves. The nonlinear material constant of weather strip is evaluated by using the nonlinear finite element analysis. In this paper, the prediction for weather strip is analyzed by using commercial finite element program, ANSYS. The nonlinear finite element analysis of weather strip is executed to predict the behavior of weather strip for automobile.

Tension tests of half-thickness concrete containment wall elements and material tests were conducted to derive a crack pattern and constitutive law of concrete. Main test variables are reinforcement ratio and the applied load ratio in two direction, and its effect on the behavior of reinforced concrete panel subjected to biaxial tension is investigated. Based on the test results, analytical expression is derived for the stress-strain relationship of concrete in tension. Ultimate analyses of reinforced concrete panels are carried out by a general purpose structural analysis computer program(ABAQUS), and its results are compared with the test results. The present analysis focuses on the effects of pre-analysis prior to test of specimens. These ultimate tensile analyses as pre-analysis are essential and important to design an effectual scheme of test.

Mechanical properties of rubber material are very important in design procedure to assure the safety and reliability of the rubber components. In this paper, the material test and accelerated heat aging test were carried out. In order to investigate the effects of heat-aging on the material properties, hardness, elongation, stress-strain curves and dynamic characteristics were obtained from various test conditions. Also, rubber material coefficients were determined by both the uniaxical and equi-biaxial tensile tests.

Using ab initio calculations, the effects of uniaxial, biaxial, and hydrostatic strains on the magnetocrystalline anisotropy of $L1_0$-orderd FePt and CoPt alloys were systematically investigated. Interestingly, the rates and the signs of magnetocrystalline anisotropy changes of FePt and CoPt were determined by the directions and dimensions of strains. The calculation results are consistent with the previous experimental observations and are expected to provide directions to tailor magnetic properties of various types of $L1_0$-ordered FePt and CoPt systems.

This paper presents the densification and microstructure evolution of bilayer components made from 316L stainless steel and M2 High speed steel during co-sintering process. The sintering was carried out at temperatures ranging from $1230-1320^{\circ}C$ in a reducing atmosphere. The addition of boron to 316L was examined in order to increase the densification rate and improve the sintering compatibility between the two layers. It was shown that the mismatch strain bettwen the two layers induces biaxial stresses during sintering, influencing the densification rate. The effect of boron addition was also found to be positive as it improves the bonding between the two layers.

Recently, the technology of incremental forming for sheet metal components has drawn attention for small-batch productions. In the present investigation, a forming tool containing a freely-rotating ball was developed and applied to forming of various shapes with full annealed Al 1050 sheet. Deformation characteristics occurring during forming with this tool was examined through FEM analysis and grid measurement. It was found that deformation modes developed along a straight path and around a corner are close to those of plane-strain and equi-biaxial stretching, respectively, and that cracks occur mostly at corners for the same depth of tool. FEM analysis was successfully applied to this special type of forming process and provided comparable results to the measurements from experiment.
