$Si_3N_4$에 2wt% $Al_2O_3$와 6wt% $Y_2O_3$을 첨가한 분말을 가스압 소결 방법으로 시편을 제조하였다. 이때 소결시 시간변화에 따른 공기 중에서 마모 특성을 비교하였다. 소결 시간에 따른 마모 특성의 변화는 기계적 성질, 즉, 파괴인성 등이 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 소결 시간이 길어지면 큰 elongated 입자의 과잉성장에 따라 곡강도 및 파괴인성이 낮아져 이 결과 마모가 증가되었다. 이때 나타난 결과에 의하면 공기 중에서 질화규소의 마모특성에 영향을 주는 인자는 여러 가지 기계적 특성 중에서 파괴인성 및 곡강도가 미치는 영향이 크게 나타났다.

In this study, the effect of stacking sequence on the flexural and fracture properties of carbon/basalt/epoxy hybrid composites was investigated. Two types of carbon/basalt/epoxy hybrid composites with a sandwich form were fabricated: basalt skin-carbon core (BSCC) composites and carbon skin-basalt core (CSBC) composites. Fracture tests were conducted and the fracture surfaces of the carbon/basalt/epoxy hybrid composites were then examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the flexural strength and flexural modulus of the CSBC specimen respectively were ~32% and ~245% greater than those of the BSCC specimen. However, the interlaminar fracture toughness of the CSBC specimen was ~10% smaller than that of the BSCC specimen. SEM results on the fracture surface showed that matrix cracking is a dominant fracture mechanism for the CSBC specimen while interfacial debonding between fibers and epoxy resin is a dominant fracture process for the BSCC specimen.

Statement of problem : Long-term exposure of dental porcelain to saliva during temporary cementation of a porcelain-fused to metal (PFM) restoration could affect mechanical strength of dental porcelain if the restoration is refired. Purpose : This work was performed to verify the effect of water on the mechanical strength in aged dental porcelain. Material and method : 63 specimens(Vintage Metalbond opaque and opal powder) were distributed to three experimental groups ; non-water immersed control, immersed and pedried, and immersed and non-predired groups. The changes in flexural strength and fracture toughness after specimen refiring related to Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Results : 1. The FT-IR reflectances assigned to molecular bonds of $H_2O$ were noted as significantly different between the first-fired group and three refired groups and between two water-immersed groups and control group after refiring(p<0.05). They were also significantly different between predried group and non-predried group after refiring(p<0.05) 2. For opal specimens, FT-IR absorbances for hydrogen bond of $H_2O$ and silanols were significantly higher in non-predried group than in predreid group(p<0.05). 3 Predried opal group showed the highest mean flexural strength(p<0.05). Non-predried group indicated higher mean flexural strength than control group(p<0.05). 4. The mean fracture toughness for predired group was higher than non-predried group(p<0.05). 5. The difference of leucite crystal size is noted between control group and water-immersed, predried group in scanning electron microscopic study(${\times}10000$).

Plain concrete is a brittle material with a very low tensile strength compared to compressive strength and critical tensile strain. This study analyzed the dynamic characteristics of high-performance fiber-reinforced cementitious composites based on slurry-infiltrated fiber concrete (SIFCON-based HPFRCC), which maximizes the steel-fiber volume fraction and uses high-strength mortar to increase resistance to loads, such as explosion and impact, with a very short acting time. For major experimental variables, three levels of fiber aspect ratio and five levels of fiber volume fraction between 6.0% and 8.0% were considered, and the flexural strength and toughness characteristics were analyzed according to these variables. Furthermore, three levels of the aspect ratio of used steel fibers were considered. The highest flexural strength of 65.0 MPa was shown at the fiber aspect ratio of 80 and the fiber volume fraction of 7.0%, and the flexural strength and toughness increased proportionally to the fiber volume fraction. The test results according to fiber aspect ratio and fiber volume fraction revealed that after the initial crack, the load of the SIFCON-based HPFRCC continuously increased because of the high fiber volume fraction. In addition, sufficient residual strength was achieved after the maximum strength; this achievement will bring about positive effects on the brittle fracture of structures when an unexpected load, such as explosion or impact, is applied.

강섬유보강 자기충전 콘크리트의 휨 성능을 평가하기 위하여 실험을 중심으로 한 연구를 수행하였다. 보 시험체를 만들기 위하여 3종류의 강섬유보강 콘크리트로 7개의 슬래브를 제작하였으며, 일정 기간 양생 후 다이아몬드 날이 달린 절단기로 슬래브를 절단하여 1개의 슬래브 당 5개의 보 시험체를 획득하였다. 각 보 시험체의 하중-처짐 곡선은 변위조절방식을 사용하여 구하였다. 실험 결과, 자기충전 콘크리트는 휨강도 및 연성, 인성지수 등 휨 성능을 평가하는 모든 부분에서 일반 콘크리트보다 양호한 성능을 보여주었다. 결과적으로 다짐이 필요없는 강섬유보강 자기충전 콘크리트는 강섬유보강 콘크리트의 가장 큰 단점인 시공성 저하 문제를 획기적으로 개선할 뿐만 아니라 역학적 성질도 양호하여 향후 토목 건축 분야에서 폭넓게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

일반적인 고인성 고성능 시멘트 복합재료의 경우 균질한 재료분포를 위하여 기본적으로 굵은 골재를 배재하는 경향이 있다. 그러나, 굵은 골재를 배재한 섬유 복합 시멘트 모르타르의 경우 재료의 탄성계수가 낮으며 단위시멘트량이 높아 경제성과 효율이 낮은 배합이기 때문에 대량으로 신규 구조물에 적용하기 힘들다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 적절한 수준의 굵은 골재를 혼입하였지만 여전히 휨인성과 휨강도는 확보하고 있는 동시에, 균열 분산성능도 보유하고 있는 고인성 섬유보강 콘크리트에 대한 개발 연구를 수행하였다. 굵은 골재의 혼입량을 실험 변수로 실험 연구를 수행하였고, 결과에 따르면 고인성 모르타르의 기본 배합에 굵은골재를 잔골재의 25%중량비로 추가한 경우에서 가장 좋은 휨인성 그리고 균열분산 특성을 나타내었다. PVA섬유는 균열분산과 연성 증진에 효과적이었고, 강섬유 섬유의 경우 균열분산보다는 강도증진에 효과적이었다.

In this study, a new sustainable material was proposed to prepare precast tunnel lining segments (TLS), which were produced using a fiber-reinforced slag-based geopolymer composite. Slag was used as the geopolymer binder. In addition, polypropylene and carbon fibers were added to reinforce TLSs. TLSs were examined in terms of flexural performance, load-deflection response, ductility, toughness, crack characteristics, and tunnel boring machine (TBM) thrust force. Simultaneously, numerical simulation was performed using finite element analysis. The mechanical characteristics of the geopolymer composite with a fiber content of 1% were used. The results demonstrated that the flexural performance and load-deflection response of the precast TLSs were satisfactory. Furthermore, the numerical results were capable of predicting and realistically capturing the structural behavior of precast TLSs. Therefore, fiber-reinforced slag-based geopolymer composites can be applied as precast TLSs.

PURPOSE. The aim of this preliminary study was to investigate, for the first time, the effects of addition of titania nanotubes ($n-TiO_2$) to poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) on mechanical properties of PMMA denture base. MATERIALS AND METHODS. $TiO_2$ nanotubes were prepared using alkaline hydrothermal process. Obtained nanotubes were assessed using FESEM-EDX, XRD, and FT-IR. For 3 experiments of this study (fracture toughness, three-point bending flexural strength, and Vickers microhardness), 135 specimens were prepared according to ISO 20795-1:2013 (n of each experiment=45). For each experiment, PMMA was mixed with 0% (control), 2.5 wt%, and 5 wt% nanotubes. From each $TiO_2$:PMMA ratio, 15 specimens were fabricated for each experiment. Effects of $n-TiO_2$ addition on 3 mechanical properties were assessed using Pearson, ANOVA, and Tukey tests. RESULTS. SEM images of $n-TiO_2$ exhibited the presence of elongated tubular structures. The XRD pattern of synthesized $n-TiO_2$ represented the anatase crystal phase of $TiO_2$. Moderate to very strong significant positive correlations were observed between the concentration of $n-TiO_2$ and each of the 3 physicomechanical properties of PMMA (Pearson's P value ${\leq}.001$, correlation coefficient ranging between 0.5 and 0.9). Flexural strength and hardness values of specimens modified with both 2.5 and 5 wt% $n-TiO_2$ were significantly higher than those of control ($P{\leq}.001$). Fracture toughness of samples reinforced with 5 wt% $n-TiO_2$ (but not those of 2.5% $n-TiO_2$) was higher than control (P=.002). CONCLUSION. Titania nanotubes were successfully introduced for the first time as a means of enhancing the hardness, flexural strength, and fracture toughness of denture base PMMA.

The optimal distribution of steel fibers over different layers of concrete can be considered as an appropriate method in improving the structural performance and reducing the cost of fiber-reinforced concrete members. In addition, the use of waste tire rubber in concrete mixes, as one of the practical ways to address environmental problems, is highly significant. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the flexural behavior of functionally graded steel fiber-reinforced concrete containing recycled tire crumb rubber, as a volume replacement of sand, after exposure to elevated temperatures. Little information is available in the literature regarding this subject. To achieve this goal, a set of 54 one-, two-, and three-layer concrete beam specimens with different fiber volume fractions (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, and 1.25%), but the same overall fiber content, and different volume percentages of the waste tire rubber (0, 5, and 10%) were exposed to different temperatures (23, 300, and 600℃). Afterward, the parameters affecting the post-heating flexural performance of concrete, including flexural strength and stiffness, toughness, fracture energy, and load-deflection diagrams, along with the compressive strength and weight loss of concrete specimens, were evaluated. The results indicated that the flexural strength and stiffness of the three-layer concrete beams respectively increased by 10 and 7%, compared to the one-layer beam specimens with the same fiber content. However, the flexural performance of the two-layer beams was reduced relative to those with one layer and equal fiber content. Besides, the flexural strength, toughness, fracture energy, and stiffness were reduced by approximately 10% when a 10% of natural sand was replaced with tire rubber in the three-layer specimens compared to the corresponding beams without crumb rubber. Although the flexural properties of concrete specimens increased with increasing the temperature up to 300℃, these properties degraded significantly with elevating the temperature up to 600℃, leading to a sharp increase in the deflection at peak load.

MOR I30(또는 $W_{2.0}$), 슬럼프 데이터들은 휨 성능과 유동성을 평가하기 위한 특성치로 사용된다. 특히, 실험회수를 줄이기 위하여 일부실시 직교배열에 따라 실험이 계획된다. 각 특성인자를 각 실험인자에 대해서 평가한 결과, 강섬유는 MOR 과 $I_{30}$의 특성인자 측면에서 상당히 유의한 실험인자로 나타난다. 또한 분산분석 결과, 실험인자의 유의도에 따라 다음과 같은 평가가 이용될 수 있다 유동성(슬럼프) 감소는 실리카 흄, 강섬유, 탄소섬유 실험인자 순서로 유의하게 나타난다. MOR 향상은 실리카퓸($\fallingdotseq$ 탄소섬유), 강섬유 실험인자 순서로 유의한 것으로 나타난다. 휨인성 증진은 실리카퓸, 탄소섬유, 강섬유 실험인자 순서로 유의하게 나타난다. 실험범위 내에서 강섬유 $1.0\%$, 탄소섬유 $0.25\%$, 실리카퓸 $5.0\%$의 조합이 각 특성치들을 가장 우수하게 향상시키고 유동성이 확보된 실험 조건으로 도출된다.
