Microalloyed steels, which substituted by conventional quenched and tempered steels, have been used in a wide variety of structural and engineering application. The main driving force for preference of MA steels is a cost reduction which can be achieved by an omission of heat treatment. In this study, low carbon martensitic MA steels in 0.18C-0.30(0.60)Si-2.00(1.80)Mn-0.05S-1.5Cr-0.05(0.10)V-0.015Ti(wt%) were investigated to know the effects of cooling method on the mechanical properties and microstructures of Si, Mn, V added microalloyed steel at different reheating temperature. Microstructure of oil quenched steels which were comprised lath martensite, auto-tempered martensite and retained austenite, had more various structure than that of air cooled steel made of mainly bainite. Therefore, oil quenched steels, which had more various microstructure, had better strength-toughness balance compare to air cooled steels. In the impact test, fracture mode of oil quenched steels, which showed good mechanical properties, were dimple, but that of air cooled steels were cleavage.

탄소섬유와 epoxy 수지의 prepreg로 성형된 Cross형 적층판 복합재료에서 unfit ply의 두께가 복합재료의 기계적 성질에 미치는 영향과, unidirectional prepreg 및 fabric prepreg로된 적층판의 기계적 성질의 차이를 비교 검토하였다. 그 결과 unit ply의 두께가 두꺼울수록 면내전단강도는 작아졌으며, 면내전단강도가 작아 질수록 층간박리 현상이 현저하게 나타났다. 또 적당한 층간박리의 발생은 파괴인성치와 층격치를 증가시키지만 심한 층간박리는 오히려 그 값들을 감소시켰다. 그리고 unidirectional prepreg로 성형된 적층판이 fabric prepreg로 성형된 적층판보다 인장강도, 파괴인성치, 파괴일 및 충격치 등의 기계적 성질이 우수했다.

In recent years, according to the development of construction technique, the constructions of longer span bridges, taller buildings, deeper offshore structures, and other megastructures are calling for construction materials with increasingly improve properties. So, the demand for high-strength concrete(HSC) have been increased and many new structures have been built using HSC with the compressive strength about 100MPa. However, it is well-known that as the strength of concrete increases, concrete becomes more brittle. Recent studies, however, shown that the brittleness of HSC can be improved by adding some fibers to the concrete. Especially steel fiber reinforced concrete(SFRC) can be used in this case. Many research works have shown that SFRC results in better crack and deflection control, higher shear strength, improved fatigue performance, increased impact strength, reformed flexural strength, advanced fracture toughness and enhanced postcracking resistance. So, this is a study on the long-term response of SFRC applied to HPC about 40MPa. Therefore, in this study, the test results of twenty-six high-strength concrete specimens and steel fiber-reinforced concrete specimens, with steel fiber content of 1 $\%$ by volume were presented. And the results are analyzed by using of the factors of time, mix properties, humidity/temperature, and loading conditions.

The decrease in the fracture toughness of ferritic steels in a reactor pressure vessel is an important factor in determining the lifetime of a nuclear power plant. A surveillance program has been in place in Korea since 1979 to assess the structural integrity of RPV steels. In this work, the surveillance data were collected and analyzed statistically in order to derive the empirical relationship between the embrittlement and strengthening of irradiated reactor pressure vessel steels. There was a linear relationship between the yield strength change and the transition temperature shift change at 41 J due to irradiation. The proportional coefficient was about $0.5^{\circ}C$/MPa in the base metals (plate/forgings). The upper shelf energy decrease ratio was non-linearly proportional to the yield strength change, and most of the data lay along the trend curve of the US results. The transition regime temperature interval, ${\Delta}T_T$, was less than the US data. The overall change from irradiation was very similar to the US results. It is expected that the results of this study will be applied to basic research on the multiscale modeling of the irradiation embrittlement of RPV materials in Korea.

Grey cast iron containing a small amount of Cu and Mo to improve the effect of heat treatment and microstructure were cast and them austenitized. After austenitizing the specimens of castings were austempered at 250$^{\circ}C$, 300$^{\circ}C$ and 350$^{\circ}C$. The effects of matrix structures on mechanical properties and fracture characteristics at the different austempering temperature were investigated. Tensile strength, hardness and impact toughness of austempered grey cast iron showed maximum valve 359 MPa, 321 HB, 3.9 CVN respectively at the lowest austempering temperature, 250$^{\circ}C$. $K_{IC}$ of gref cast iron at a austempering temperature, 250$^{\circ}C$, showed maximum 44 MPa.$m^{1/2}$ even though the amount of retained austenite in it is only 16%. This mainly comes from the refinement of the retained austenite. Quasi-cleavage pattern with a little fit of fibrous pattern was shown on the fractured surface of austempered grey cast iron at all of the temperatures tested.

Valve lifter namely tappet is supported by lifter hole which is located upper side of camshaft in cylinder block transforms rotatic mvement of camshaft into linear movement and helps to open and shut the en-gine valve as an engine parts. The face of valve lifter which is continuously contacting with camshaft brings about abnormal wears such as unfair wear and early wear because it is severely loaded in the valve train system. These wears act as a defect like over-clearance and cause imperfect combustion of fuel during the valve lifting in the combustion chamber. Consequently this imperfect combustion makes the engine out-put decrease and has cause on air pollution. To prevent these wears therefore The valve lifter cast in me-tal developed into SiC ceramics valve lifter which has an excellence in wear and impact resistance As a results the optimum process conditions like injection condition mixture ratio and debonding process could be established. After sintering fine-sinered dual microstructure in which prior ${\alpha}$-SiC matches well with new SiC(${\beta}$-SiC) produced by reaction among the ${\alpha}$-SiC carbon and silicon was obtained. Based on the study it is verified that mechanical properties of SiC valve lifter are excellent in Vickers hardness 1100-1200 bending strength (300-350 Pa) fracture toughness(1.5-1.7 Mpa$.$m1/2) Through engine dynamo test-ing SiC valve lifter and metal valve lifter are examined and compared into abnormal phenomena such as early fracture unfair and early wear. It is hoped that this research will serve as an important springboard for the future study of heavy duty diesel engine parts developed by ceramics which has a good wear resis-tance relaibility and lightability.

우수한 역학적 성능을 가진 생물체의 구조를 모방하여 고성능의 복합재료를 개발하려는 노력이 최근 활발히 이뤄지고 있다. 진주층 구조는 구성재료 대비 월등히 높은 파괴인성을 지닌다는 점에서 촉망받는 자연 모사 구조 중 하나이다. 하지만, 진주층 모사 구조의 형상이 변형될 때 구조의 충격성능이 어떻게 달라지는지에 관한 연구는 아직 충분히 진행되지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 무작위로 변형된 진주층 모사 복합재의 수치모델을 개발하고 충격성능을 분석하였다. 먼저, 균일한 진주층 모사 패턴에서 플레이트 판의 평면 크기를 무작위로 변형하는 알고리즘을 개발하고 이를 활용하여 불균일한 진주층 패턴 모사 구조를 모델링하였다. 그 후, 낙하충격 시뮬레이션을 수행하고 해당 모델의 충격거동을 에너지 흡수율과 본 미세스 응력 분포, 충격력-시간 그래프를 활용하여 평가하였다. 수치해석결과를 바탕으로, 충돌 범위 주변 플레이트 판의 기하학적 형상이 불균일할수록 진주층 모사 구조의 내충격성이 저하됨을 입증하였다. 이러한 진주층 모사 형상에 대한 심층적인 이해는 진주층 모사 구조의 최적설계를 수립하는 데 효율적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구에서는 반응소결 탄화규소(RS-SiC)의 제조공정 중에서 C/SiC 복합 비율(0.1, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 1.0)이 외부입자충격 손상 거동에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 충격시험은 공기총(air-gun)을 사용하였으며, 직경 2 mm 강구를 113 m/s, 122 m/s, 180 m/s의 충격속도로 RS-SiC 판재($20\times20\times3$ mm)에 충격시켜 발생된 링크랙의 직경 변화 및 콘크랙의 발생 거동을 SEM 영상으로 평가하였다. 결과적으로 RS-SiC에 발생한 링크랙의 최대직경이 충격속도가 증가함에 따라 대체로 증가하였지만, C/SiC 복합 비율에 따라서는 급격한 변화를 보였다. 이는 C/SiC 복합 비율에 따라 잔류 Si 함량 및 굽힘강도 변화의 영향으로 볼 수 있다. 특히 C/SiC 복합 비율이 0.4~0.5 범위에서 콘크랙이 발생됨에 따라 링크랙에서 콘크랙의 발생으로 변화되는 충격손상 메커니즘의 임계영역으로 판단할 수 있다. 아울러 콘크랙의 발생 임계영역을 고려할 때, RS-SiC 최적 제조 공정으로서 C/SiC 혼합 비율을 최대 0.3으로 하는 것이 효과적이다.

The study herein reports the impact of Steel Fiber (SF) and Ground Granulated Blast Furnaces slag (GGBFS) content on the fresh and hardened properties of fly ash (FA) based Self-Compacting Geopolymer Concrete (SCGC). Two series of self-compacting geopolymer concrete (SCGC) were formulated with a constant binder content of $450kg/m^3$ and at an alkaline-to-binder (a/b) ratio of 0.50. Fly ash (FA) was substituted with GGBFS with the replacement levels being 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% by weight in each SCGC series. Steel fiber (SF) wasn't employed in the assembly of the initial concrete series whereas, within the second concrete series, an SF combination was achieved by a constant additional level of 1% by volume. Fresh properties of mixtures were through an experiment investigated in terms of slump flow diameter, T50 slump flow time, V-funnel flow time, and L-box height ratio. Moreover, the mechanical performance of the SCGCs was evaluated in terms of compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and fracture toughness. Furthermore, a statistical analysis was applied in order to judge the importance of the experimental parameters, like GGBFS and SF contents. The experimental results indicated that the incorporation of SF had no vital impact on the fresh characteristics of the SCGC mixtures whereas GGBFS aggravated them. However, the incorporation of GGBFS was considerably improved the mechanical properties of SCGCs. Moreover, the incorporation of SF with the total different quantity of GGBFS replacement has considerably increased the mechanical properties of SCGCs, by close to (65%) for the splitting strength and (200%) for compressive strength.

PURPOSE. To evaluate the effect of various metal oxides on impact strength (IS), fracture toughness (FT), water sorption (WSP) and solubility (WSL) of heat-cured acrylic resin. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Fifty acrylic resin specimens were fabricated for each test and divided into five groups. Group 1 was the control group and Group 2, 3, 4 and 5 (test groups) included a mixture of 1% $TiO_2$ and 1% $ZrO_2$, 2% $Al_2O_3$, 2% $TiO_2$, and 2% $ZrO_2$ by volume, respectively. Rectangular unnotched specimens ($50mm{\times}6.0mm{\times}4.0mm$) were fabricated and drop-tower impact testing machine was used to determine IS. For FT, compact test specimens were fabricated and tests were done with a universal testing machine with a cross-head speed of 5 mm/min. For WSP and WSL, disc-shaped specimens were fabricated and tests were performed in accordance to ISO 1567. ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used for statistical analyses. RESULTS. IS and FT values were significantly higher and WSP and WSL values were significantly lower in test groups than in control group (P<.05). Group 5 had significantly higher IS and FT values and significantly lower WSP values than other groups (P<.05) and provided 40% and 30% increase in IS and FT, respectively, compared to control group. Significantly lower WSL values were detected for Group 2 and 5 (P<.05). CONCLUSION. Modification of heat-cured acrylic resin with metal oxides, especially with $ZrO_2$, may be useful in preventing denture fractures and undesirable physical changes resulting from oral fluids clinically.
