Recently, the need for strengthening reinforced concrete(R.C.) structure has been increased, particularly when there is an increase in load requirements, a change in use, a degradation problem, or design/construction defects. The use of composite materials for structural repair presents several advantages and has been investigated all over the world. It is well known that the incorporation of carbon fiber sheet(CFS) with concrete is one of the most effective ways to strengthen the R.C. structure. In this papers, experimentally investigated the ductile behavior of the R.C. beams strengthened with CFS, and provided the basic data for design of R.C. beams strengthened with CFS. Tests were carried out with 15 beams ($20cm{\times}30cm{\times}240cm$) reinforced with CFS, and with parameters including and the ratio of tensile reinforcement to that of balanced condition and number of CFS. The results show that strengthened and non-strengthened beams exhibit different ductile behovior. Non-strengthened beams showed increase of ductility as amount of the tensile reinforcement decreased. However, bearing capacity of the CFS-strengthened beams are dictated by the strength of the CFS layers that a very high ductility is indicated for the beams with large number of CFS.

In this work, finite element investigations were carried out to manufacture a seamless aluminum liner without crack generation using four-stage deep drawing followed by two-stage ironing process. In order to predict the crack generation during the liner manufacturing process, the Normalize Cockroft-Latham(NCL) which is one of ductile fracture criteria was adopted. In addition, the tensile tests were carried out to obtain the critical value of NCL by comparing the experimental and FE simulation results. From this, various case studies based on FE simulation were carried to obtain the optimum die designs which can prevent the crack generation during ironing processes. Finally, the aluminum liner was successfully made using obtained die designs so that requirements were met in terms of thickness and height of the liner.

In metalforming, ductile fracture criteria have been used for the purpose of predicting fracture occurrence in the stage of process design prior to manufacturing. In the present investigation, some of popular criteria are reviewed to find the most suitable one among them. As a result, it is found that the modified Cockroft and Latham criterion is better than others. The reasons are: it agrees with Roy's and McClintock's void growth models, it is more general than Oyane's and Kuhn's criteria, and it predicts fractures in compression as well as in tension well. However, it is also found that the criterion is incapable of predicting fractures in torsion.

This paper describes the need for a ductile of Fiber Reinforced Plastic(FRP) reinforcement for concrete structures. The criteria to be met by the FRP, which are based on the properties of the steel rebar it is to replace, are threefold: high initial modulus, a definite yield point and a high level of ultimate strain. It is shown that the use of a fiber architecture based design methodology facilitates the optimization of the performance of FRP through material and geometric hybrid. Ductile hybrid FRP bars were successfully fabricated at 3mm and 5mm nominal diameters using an in-line braiding and pultrusion process.

A high ductile fiber reinforced mortar has been developed by employing micromechanics-based design procedure. Micromechanical analysis was initially performed to properly select water-cement ratio, and then optimal mixture proportion was determined based on workability considerations, including desirable fiber dispersion without segregation. Subsequent direct tensile tests revealed that the fiber reinforced mortar exhibited high ductile uniaxial tension property, represented by $1.8\%$ strain capacity, which is around 100 times the strain capacity of normal concrete.

In the recent design of high ductile fiber-reinforced cementitious composite ECC, which exhibits tensile strain-hardening behavior in the hardened state, optimizing both processing mechanical properties for specific applications is critical. This study introduced a method to develop useful ECCs in field, which possess the different fluid properties to facilitate diverse types of processing (i.e., self-consolidating or spray processing). Control of rheological modulation was regarded as a key factor to allow the performance of the desired processing, while retaining the ductile material properties. To control the rheological properties of the composite, we first determined basic ECC compositon, which is based on micromechanics and steady-state cracking theory. The stability and consequent viscosity of suspensions were, then, mediated by optimizing dosages of chemical and mineral admixtures. The rheological properties altered by this approach were revealed to be effective in obtaining ECC hardened properties, allowing us to readily achieve the desired function of the fresh ECC.

For the purpose of improving the casting yields of ductile iron castings, the casting conditions for riserlese design were investigated with 150mm cube. As the important casting conditions, chemical composition, pouring temperature, mold rigidity and cooling rate were confirmed. 1. We could obtain the sound castings with the hypereutectic ductile iron. 2. In order to reduce liquid contraction, the pouring temperature should be low as much as possible 3. We could obtain the sound castings through using the rigid mold without mold cavity deformation 4. The modulus of the castings should be 2.5cm one or larger.

In the design of the metal forming processes, various types of ductile fracture criteria are used to predict crack initiation and to fabricate metallic products without any defects. However, the quantitative measurement method for determination of crack initiation is insufficient. It is very difficult to detect crack initiation in ductile metals with excellent deformability because no significant load drop is observed due to crack generation. In this study, the applicability of acoustic emission sensors, which are commonly used in facility diagnostics, to measure crack initiation during the metal forming process was analyzed. Cylindrical notch specimens were designed using the finite element method to induce a premature crack on the surface of pre heat-treated steel (ESW90) material. In addition, specimens with various notch angles and heights were prepared and compression tests were carried out. During the compression tests, acoustic emission signal on the dies and images of the surface of the notch specimen were recorded using an optical camera in real time. The experimental results revealed that the acoustic emission sensor can be used to detect crack initiation in ductile metals due to severe plastic deformation.
