Recently developed austempered ductile irons(A.D.I.) have good mechanical properties. However it is still needed to examine the relationships between microstructures related to banitic reaction and the mechanical properties. From the mechanical tests such as impact test, hardness test, tensile test, and the microstructure observations, we concluded that the good mechanical properties of A.D.I. came from the fine banitic ferrite structure formed during the first stage of the austempering reaction.

3D printing has the advantage of being able to process various types of parts by layering materials. In addition to these advantages, 3D printing technology allows models to be processed quickly without any special work that can be used in different fields to produce workpieces for various purposes and shapes. This paper deals to not only increase the utilization of 3D printing technology, but also to revitalize 3D printing technology in applications that require similar cryogenic environments. The goal of this study is to identify the mechanical properties of polylactic acid and photopolymer resin processed by Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) and Digital Light Processing (DLP) respectively. The entire process is meticulously examined, starting from getting the thermal contraction using an extensometer. A uniaxial tensile test is employed, which enables to obtain the mechanical properties of the samples at both room temperature (RT) and cryogenic temperature of 77 K. As the results, photopolymer resin exhibited higher tensile properties than polylactic acid at RT. However, at cryogenic temperatures (77 K), the photopolymer resin became brittle and failure occurred due to thermal contraction, while polylactic acid demonstrated superior tensile properties. Therefore, polylactic acid is more suitable for lower temperatures.

상용 FFF (Fused filament fabrication) 3D 프린터로 제조된 탄소 단섬유강화 나일론 복합재료 구조의 내부 채움 패턴(Infill pattern)의 높은 공극률은 프린팅 된 구조의 기계적 성능을 결정한다. 본 연구는 프린팅 된 구조의 내부 채움 패턴의 공극률을 줄여서 기계적 특성을 개선하기 위해 사각형 내부 채움 구조로 제작된 Onyx 복합 재료 시편의 열압밀 조건에 따른 시편의 기계적 성능을 실험적으로 평가하고, 가장 우수한 기계적 물성을 유도하는 열압밀 공정 조건(145℃, 4 MPa, 12 min)을 찾았다. 현미경 관찰결과 열압밀 후처리를 겪은 복합재료 시편의 내부 채움 공극률이 효과적으로 줄어듦을 확인하였다. 후처리된 시편의 기계적 성능을 확인하기 위해, 후처리를 하지 않은 대조군 시편과, 후처리 후 밀도와 치수를 동일하게 설정하여 출력한 시편과 함께 인장시험 및 3점 굽힘시험을 수행하여 기계적 물성을 비교한 결과 열압밀 후처리를 수행한 경우 기계적 물성이 효과적으로 개선되는 것을 확인하였다.

3D printing has been expanding beyond the bio/nano field to the automobile and aviation industries. 3D-printing technology has to overcome real problems to have economic value compared to its unlimited usability. Typically, the difference in mechanical strength along the lamination direction requires sufficient research to ensure reliability. In this paper, we study the anisotropic properties of ABS based on the stacking method of FDM 3D printing. Specifically, the mechanical properties of ABS material are determined through a tensile test and 3-point bending test, and the in-plane orthotropic properties are ascertained.

As an accident tolerant fuel (ATF) concept, oxide dispersion strengthened Zircaloy-4 (ODS Zry-4) cladding has been developed to enhance the mechanical properties of cladding using laser processing technology. In this study, a simulation technique was established to investigate the mechanical properties and effects of Y₂O₃ particles for the ODS Zry-4. A 3D representative volume element (RVE) model was developed considering the parameters of the size, shape, distribution and volume fraction (VF) of the Y₂O₃ particles. From the 3D RVE model, the Young's modulus, coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and creep strain rate of the ODS Zry-4 were effectively calculated. It was observed that the VF of Y₂O₃ particles had a significant effect on the aforementioned mechanical properties. In addition, the predicted properties of ODS Zry-4 were applied to a simulation model to investigate cladding deformation under a transient condition. The ODS Zry-4 cladding showed better performance, such as a delay in large deformation compared to Zry-4 cladding, which was also found experimentally. Accordingly, it is expected that the simulation approach developed here can be efficiently employed to predict more properties and to provide useful information with which to improve ODS Zry-4.

Metal 3D printing is utilized in various industrial fields due to its advantages, such as fewer restrictions on production shape and reduced production time and cost. Existing research on 3D printing metal materials focused on changes in material properties depending on manufacturing conditions and was mainly conducted in a room temperature environment. In order to apply metal 3D printing products to cryogenic applications, research on the properties of materials in cryogenic environments is necessary but still insufficient. In this study, we evaluate the properties of stainless steel (STS) 316L and CuCr1Zr manufactured by Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) in a cryogenic environment. CuCr1Zr is a precipitation hardening alloy, and changes in material properties were compared by applying various heat treatment conditions. The mechanical properties of materials manufactured using the LBPF method are evaluated through tensile tests at room temperature and cryogenic temperature (77 K), and the thermal properties are evaluated by deriving the thermal conductivity of CuCr1Zr according to various heat treatment conditions. In a cryogenic environment, the mechanical strength of STS 316L and CuCr1Zr increased by about 150% compared to room temperature, and the thermal conductivity of CuCr1Zr after heat treatment increased by about 6 to 10 times compared to before heat treatment at 40 K.

Predicting the mechanical properties of the 3-D scaffold using finite element method (FEM) simulation is important to the practical application of tissue engineering. However, the porous structure of the scaffold complicates computer simulations, and calculating scaffold models at the pore level is time-consuming. In some cases, the demands of the procedure are too high for a computer to run the standard code. To address this problem, the representative volume element (RVE) theory was introduced, but studies on RVE modeling applied to the 3-D scaffold model have not been focused. In this paper, we propose an improved FEM-based RVE modeling strategy to better predict the mechanical properties of the scaffold prior to fabrication. To improve the precision of RVE modeling, we evaluated various RVE models of newly designed 3-D scaffolds using FEM simulation. The scaffolds were then constructed using microstereolithography technology, and their mechanical properties were measured for comparison.

The shape retention finishing provides a fabric for easiness of no-ironing after laundering. In spite of the obvious importance of the new finishing treatment, few systematic studies have been performed on the handle of the fabrics finished by the durable press process. The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationships among the mechanical properties, durable press conditions, primary hand values and the total hand value of the fabrics finished by shape retention process. In this experiment, durable press grade of unfinished fabrics decreased below 2.5, but those of finished fabrics maintained above 4, but the mechanical properties of finished fabrics did not change significantly after laundering. In finished fabrics, D.P. value were correlated with mechanical properties, but had little effects with H.V. and T.H.V. Since the evaluation of the effect of durable press process was done with the naked eyes and standard sample, we could not know exactly change o( mechanical properties, but trace the change of mechanical properties which gave influences on the durable press effects by using KES-FB System.

This study investigates the dynamic magneto-mechanical behavior of magnetization-graded ferromagnetic materials Terfenol-D/FeCuNbSiB (MF). We measure the dynamic magneto-mechanical properties as a function of the DC bias magnetic field ($H_{dc}$). Our experimental results show that these dynamic magneto-mechanical properties are strongly dependent on the DC bias magnetic field. Furthermore, the dynamic strain coefficient, electromechanical resonance frequency, Young's moduli, and mechanical quality factor of Terfenol-D/FeCuNbSiB are greater than those of Terfenol-D under a lower DC bias magnetic field. The dynamic strain coefficient increases by a factor of between one and three, under the same DC bias magnetic field. In particular, the dynamic strain coefficient of Terfenol-D/FeCuNbSiB at zero bias achieves 48.6 nm/A, which is about 3.05 times larger than that of Terfenol-D. These good performances indicate that magnetization-graded ferromagnetic materials show promise for application in magnetic sensors.
