Engineering ceramics have superior heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. Consequently, these art significant candidates for hot-section structural components of heat engine and the inner containment of nuclear fusion reactor. Besides, some of them have the ability to heal cracks and great benefit can be anticipated with great benefit the structural engineering field. Especially, law fracture toughness of ceramics supplement with self-healing ability. In the present study, we have been noticed some practically important points for the healing behavior of silicon nitride, alumina, mullite with SiC particle and whisker. The presence of silicon carbide (SiC) in ceramic compound is very important for crack-healing behavior. However, self-healing of SiC has not been investigated well in detail yet. In this study, commercial SiC was selected as sample, which can be anticipated in the excellent crack healing ability. The specimens were produced three-point bending specimen with a critical semi-circular crack of which size that is about $50-700{\mu}m$. Three-point bending test and static fatigue test were performed cracked and healed SiC specimens. A monotonic bending load was applied to cracked specimens by three-point loading at different temperature. The purpose of this paper is to report Strength Properties and Elastic Waves Characteristics of Silicon Carbide with Crack Healing Ability.

Tool steels serve a large range of applications including hot and cold workings of metals and injection mouldings of plastics or light alloys. The high speed steels (HSS) are specifically used as cutting tools and wear parts because it has high strength, wear resistance and hardness along with appreciable toughness and fatigue resistance. From the view of HSS microstructure, it can be described as metallic matrix composites formed by a ferrous with a dispersion of hard and wear resistant carbides. The experimental specimens were manufactured using the PIM with T42 powders (50~80 vol.%) and polymer (20~50 vol.%). The green parts were debinded in n-hexane solution at $60^{\circ}C$ for 8 hours and thermal debinded at an $N_2-H_2$ mixed gas atmosphere for 8 hours. Specimens were sintered in high vacuum ($10^{-5}$ Torr) and various temperatures.

The drive pulley, which is employed for loading and unloading raw materials in a steel mill, is usually manufactured by use of various welding processes. In this study the weldment in the pulley, in which TIG and $CO_2$ welding processes are used, has been analyzed from view point of fracture mechanics. Fracture toughness tests have been performed according to ASTM E813. A servo-hydraulic testing machine (10kN) has been employed. Also the crack propagation tests (Mode I) have been performed with compact tension specimen in compliance with ASTM E647. To predict the critical crack size in the weldment, finite element stress analysis for the drive pulley under real operating conditions have been performed. In addition, the residual stresses at the weldment and in heat-affected zone have been obtained by hole drilling method. The planar critical crack size have been predicted for the drive pulley by considering the stress analysis results and the residual stresses due to welding process. For the drive pulley considered in this study, it has been concluded that the most important factor in determining the critical crack size is the welding residual stress in the transverse direction. Also the effect of stress concentration at the root of the weldment have been noticeable. For the planar crack, the fatigue crack growth life from an initial crack size of 2mm to the critical crack size obtained as in the above have been predicted. The predicted lives were between 55, 900 and 72, 000 cycles depending on the shape of the elliptical crack. The predicted lives were in fairly good agreement for the drive pulley considered in this study.

초속경 시멘트 콘크리트는 양생 시 초기재령에서 높은 수화열과 건조수축으로 인해 균열이 발생하기 쉽다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 각종 소재를 적극 활용하려는 노력의 일환으로 섬유보강 콘크리트를 사용하게 된다 합성섬유보강 콘크리트는 건조수축에 대한 저항성과 내구성을 증진시키는 것으로 보고되고 있는데 대부분이 일반콘크리트에 대한 연구가 수행되었을 뿐 초속경 시멘트콘크리트에 관한 건조수축의 영향에 대해 정량적 및 정성적 연구가 미미한 상태이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 합성섬유보강 콘크리트의 건조수축 저감효과와 초속경 시멘트 콘크리트에서 수축에 대한 구속효과를 평가하기 위하여 콘크리트종류, 섬유보강 여부, 물-시멘트비, 구속여부를 주요 실험변수로 하여 건조수축실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 일반 콘크리트에 비해 초속경 시멘트 콘크리트의 건조수축의 진행이 상당히 작음을 알 수 있었다. 이는 속경성 콘크리트의 수화반응이 빠르게 진행되어 건조에 의한 중량감소율이 다소 작은 점과 수화생성물과의 관계에 기인되는 것으로 판단된다. 또한 1축으로 구속된 건조수축의 구속으로 인한 초속경 시멘트 콘크리트의 건조수축을 예측할 수 있었고 초속경 시멘트 콘크리트에 섬유보강으로 인한 건조수축 제어는 일반콘크리트에 비해 효과가 매우 큰 것으로 나타났다.

Titanium alloys are widely recognized among engineering materials owing to their impressive mechanical properties, including high strength-to-weight ratios, fracture toughness, resistance to fatigue, and corrosion resistance. Consequently, applications involving titanium alloys are more susceptible to damage from unforeseen events, such as scratches. Nevertheless, the impact of microscopic damage remains an area that requires further investigation. This study delves into the microscopic wear behavior of α-titanium crystal structures when subjected to linear scratch-induced damage conditions, utilizing molecular dynamics simulations as the primary methodology. The configuration of crystal lattice structures plays a crucial role in influencing material properties such as slip, which pertains to the movement of dislocations within the crystal structure. The molecular dynamics technique surpasses the constraints of observing microscopic phenomena over brief intervals, such as sub-nano- or pico-second intervals. First, we demonstrate the localized transformation of lattice structures at the end of initialization, indentation, and wear processes. In addition, we obtain the exerted force on a rigid sphere during scratching under linear movement. Furthermore, we investigate the effect of the relaxation period between indentation and scratch deformation. Finally, we conduct a comparison study of nanoindentation between crystal and amorphous Ti substrates. Thus, this study reveals the underlying physics of the microscopic transformation of the α-titanium crystal structure under wear-like accidental events.

The use of Pipelines for long-distance transportation of crude oil, natural gas and similar applications is increasing and has pivotal importance in recent times. High specific strength plays a crucial role in improving transport efficiency through increased pressure and improved laying efficiency through reduced diameter and weight of line pipes. TRIP-based high-strength and high-ductility alloys comprise a mixture of ferrite, bainite, and retained austenite that provide excellent mechanical properties such as dimensional stability, fatigue strength, and impact toughness. This study performs microstructure analysis using both Nital etching and LePera etching methods. At the time of Nital etching, it is difficult to distinctly observe second phase. However, using LePera etching conditions it is possible to distinctly measure the M/A phase and ferrite matrix. The fraction measurement was done using OM and SEM images which give similar results for the average volume fraction of the phases. Although it is possible to distinguish the M/A phase from the SEM image of the sample subjected to LePera etching. However, using Nital etching is nearly impossible. Nital etching is good at specific phase analysis than LePera etching when using SEM images.

폐아스팔트 콘크리트(RAP)의 발생이 증가함에 따라 이를 자원으로 재활용 할 수 있는 재생 아스팔트 콘크리트에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 폐아스팔트 콘크리트를 아스팔트 콘크리트용 순환골재로 사용할 경우 품질저하로 인해 사용량을 제한하거나 재생첨가제를 사용하도록 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 공정상의 편리성을 위해 재생첨가제가 포함된 중온 재생 아스팔트 바인더(WMRA)를 사용하여 RAP의 사용비율을 50% 까지 증가시킬 수 있는 재생 아스팔트 콘크리트의 실내 공용성능 평가를 수행하였다. 마샬안정도 실험 결과 RAP 30% 사용시에는 WMRA 바인더와 스트레이트 아스팔트 바인더 사용시 큰 차이가 없었으나 RAP 혼합비율이 50%로 늘어날 경우 WMRA 바인더 사용시 흐름값 34.7 (1/10 mm)로 기준을 만족시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 간접인장강도 실험의 터프니스 계산 결과 RAP 사용비율 50% 일 때 WMRA 바인더 사용시 스트레이트 아스팔트 바인더 사용시에 비해 55% 높은 값을 나타내어 균열저항성이 향상된 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 반복직접인장실험을 통해 직접적인 균열저항성 비교 결과 WMRA 재생 아스팔트 콘크리트의 피로균열 저항성이 263% 증가하는 것으로 나타나 WMRA 바인더가 RAP 사용비율을 50%까지 높일 수 있어 RAP의 재활용에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

High speed steels (HSS) were used as cutting tools and wear parts, because of high strength, wear resistance, and hardness together with an appreciable toughness and fatigue resistance. Conventional manufacturing process for production of components with HSS was used by casting. The powder metallurgy techniques were currently developed due to second phase segregation of conventional process. The powder injection molding method (PIM) was received attention owing to shape without additional processes. The experimental specimens were manufactured with T42 HSS powders (59 vol%) and polymer (41 vol%). The metal powders were prealloyed water-atomised T42 HSS. The green parts were solvent debinded in normal n-Hexane at $60^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours and thermal debinded at $N_2-H_2$ mixed gas atmosphere for 14 hours. Specimens were sintered in $N_2$, $H_2$ gas atmosphere and vacuum condition between 1200 and $1320^{\circ}C$. In result, polymer degradation temperatures about optimum conditions were found at $250^{\circ}C$ and $480^{\circ}C$. After sintering at $N_2$ gas atmosphere, maximum hardness of 310Hv was observed at $1280^{\circ}C$. Fine and well dispersed carbide were observed at this condition. But relative density was under 90%. When sintering at $H_2$ gas atmosphere, relative density was observed to 94.5% at $1200^{\circ}C$. However, the low hardness was obtained due to decarbonization by hydrogen. In case of sintering at the vacuum of $10^{-5}$ torr at temperature of $1240^{\circ}C$, full density and 550Hv hardness were obtained without precipitation of MC and $M_6C$ in grain boundary.

2005년부터 최근까지 국내의 CNG버스 사고가 3건 보고되었다. 1차와 2차 사고의 원인은 용기 결함 및 관리 결함으로 밝혀졌고 3차 사고는 가스 누출에 의한 화재로 판명되었다. 3건의 사고의 근본원인을 분석하여 CNG 버스의 안전성을 확보하는 방안을 제안하였다. 또한 용기폭발의 파괴력을 이론적으로 계산하고, 피해결과 예측 프로그램(PHAST)의 결과와 비교 고찰하였다. 이론적으로는 120 l, 20MPa의 메탄용기가 폭발할 경우 최대 1.2 kg의 TNT 폭발에 해당하였으며 과압의 크기를 비교해 보면 피해결과예측 프로그램이 이론적인 계산보다 더 큰 값을 산정하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 실제 용기폭발의 피해는 이론적인 계산보다도 작았다. 성능기반설계 개념에 의해 설계된 CNG용기는 출고 후 성능시험이 기준대로 이루어졌는지 확인할 수 없는 단점이 있다. 용기의 인성 확보가 제대로 이루어지지 않으면 겨울철 새벽 운행시에 취성파괴에 취약할 수 있으며, 자긴 처리 압력이 적절하지 않으면 사용중 반복 충전에 의한 피로손상에 의해 균열이 발생할 가능성이 있다. 기존 사고의 CNG 저장용기의 파열에서 주는 중요한 교훈은 용기 폭발 직후에 화재로 전이되지 않았다는 점이다. 이는 천연가스의 확산이 매우 빨라 점화가 용이치 않기 때문으로 판단된다.
