When a commercial prealloyed Fe-powder(Fe-5Cr-lMo-2Cu-0.5P-3C) is liquid phase sintered at 116$0^{\circ}C$, liquid precipitates with various shapes form within solid grains during the initial stage of sintering. The shape of a liquid precipitate changes pith the increment of their size from sphere(with radius<0.3$\mu\textrm{m}$), a transient polyhedron with more than 7 faces(1~2 $\mu\textrm{m}$), cuboid(3~5 $\mu\textrm{m}$), and finally to sphere(>5 $\mu\textrm{m}$). The shapes of liquid precipitates closely resemble the growth shapes predicted on the basis of solid-liquid interfacial energy and the coherency strain energy with anisotropic elastic constants in the diffusion zone around the precipitates.

In this paper, a mesoscale model of concrete is presented, which considers particles, matrix material and the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) as separate constituents. Particles are represented as ellipsoides, generated according to a prescribed grading curve and placed randomly into the specimen. In this context, an efficient separation procedure is used. The nonlinear behavior is simulated with a cohesive interface model for the ITZ and a combined damage/plasticity model for the matrix material. The mesoscale model is used to simulate a compression and a tensile test. Furthermore, the influence of the particle distribution on the loaddisplacement curve is investigated.

For better estimation of elastic property of concrete composites, the effect of Interfacial Transition Zone (ITZ) has been found to be significant. Numerical concrete composites models have been introduced using Finite Element Method (FEM), where ITZ is modeled as a thin shell surrounding aggregate. Therefore, difficulties arise from the mesh generation. In this study, a numerical concrete composites model in 3D based on FEM and random unit cell method is proposed to calculate elastic modulus of concrete composites with ITZ. The validity of the model has been verified by comparing the calculated elastic modulus with those obtained from other analytical and numerical models.

This study presents a random-aggregate mesoscale model integrating the random distribution of the coarse aggerates and the damage mechanics of the mortar and interfacial transition zone (ITZ). This mesoscale model can generate the random distribution of the coarse aggregates according to the prescribed particle size distribution which enables the automation of the current methodology with different coarse aggregates' distribution. The main innovation of this work is to propose the "correction factor" to eliminate the dimensionally dependent mesh sensitivity of the concrete damaged plasticity (CDP) model. After implementing the correction factor through the user-defined subroutine in the randomly meshed mesoscale model, the predicted fracture resistance is in good agreement with the average experimental results of a series of geometrically similar single-edge-notched beams (SENB) concrete specimens. The simulated cracking pattern is also more realistic than the conventional concrete material models. The proposed random-aggregate mesoscale model hence demonstrates its validity in the application of concrete fracture failure and statistical size effect analysis.

PURPOSE. To determine the extent of treatment traces, the roughness depth, and the quantity of titanium nitride (TiN) removed from the surface of CAD/CAM abutments after treatment with various instruments. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Twelve TiN coated CAD/CAM abutments were investigated for an in vitro study. In the test group (9), each abutment surface was subjected twice (150 g vs. 200 g pressure) to standardized treatment in a simulated prophylaxis measure with the following instruments: acrylic scaler, titanium curette, and ultrasonic scaler with steel tip. Three abutments were used as control group. Average surface roughness (Sa) and developed interfacial area ratio (Sdr) of treated and untreated surfaces were measured with a profilometer. The extent of treatment traces were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS. Manipulation with ultrasonic scalers resulted in a significant increase of average surface roughness (Sa, P<.05) and developed interfacial area ratio (Sdr, P<.018). Variable contact pressure did not yield any statistically significant difference on Sa-values for all instruments (P=.8). Ultrasonic treatment resulted in pronounced surface traces and partially detachment of the TiN coating. While titanium curettes caused predominantly moderate treatment traces, no traces or detectable substance removal has been determined after manipulation with acrylic curettes. CONCLUSION. Inappropriate instruments during regular plaque control may have an adverse effect on the integrity of the TiN coating of CAD/CAM abutments. To prevent defects and an increased surface roughness at the transmucosal zone of TiN abutments, only acrylic scaling instruments can be recommended for regular maintenance care.

The spot welds of Transformation Induced Plasticity (TRIP) steels are prone to interfacial failure and narrow welding current range. Hard microstructures in weld metal and heat affected zone arenormally considered as one of the main reason to accelerate the interfacial failure mode. There fore, detailed observation of weld microstructure for TRIP steels should be made to ensure better weld quality. However, it is difficult to characterize the microstructure, which has similar color, size, and shape using the optical or electron microscopy. The atomic force microscope (AFM) can help to analyze microstructure by using different energy levels for different surface roughness. In this study, the microstructures of resistance spot welds for AHSS are analyzed by using AFM with measuring the differences in average surface roughness. It has been possible to identify the different phases and their topographic characteristics and to study their morphology using atomic force microscopy in resistance spot weld TRIP steels. The systematic topographic study for each region of weldments confirmed the presence of different microstructures with height of 350nm for martensite, 250nm for bainite, and 150nm for ferrite, respectively.

Conventional fracture test of resistance spot weld had been performed without consideration of paint baking process in automobile manufacturing line. This study was aim to investigate the effect of paint baking on fracture mode and load carrying capacity in fracture test for resistance spot welded 780TRIP steels. With paint baking cycle after resistance spot welds, peel tests and microhardness were conducted on the as-welded and baked samples. Resistance spot welds in AHSS (Advanced High Strength Steels) are prone to display partial interfacial fractures during fracture test or vehicle crash. Baking cycle increased the load-carrying capacity of the resistance spot welded samples and improved the fracture appearance from partial to full button fracture for the L-type peel tests. Specially, the differences in fracture appearance are apparent when the nugget size of spot welds is small enough to produce the partial interfacial fracture. The comparison of macrohardness and microstructure between as-welded and baked samples showed that there are no large difference in change the fracture mode. However, the results of the instrumented indentation test suggested that fusion zone and HAZ of baked sample have less tensile and yield strength and proves that the tempering effects are applied and enhanced the resistance to fracture on welds with application of baking cycle.

본 연구에서는 철근-콘크리트 기둥의 3차원 유한요소 모델링을 통해 콘크리트 기둥 단면의 균열에 대한 철근의 부식과 하중의 영향을 해석적으로 분석했다. 철근 부식에 대한 콘크리트 계면 공극의 완충 효과를 반영했으며, 철근의 부식과정은 표면 하중을 통해 그 직경을 점진적으로 확장시킴으로써 구현했다. 이러한 변수들을 통한 해석적 접근을 통해 단면균열에 대한 (1) 기하학적 조건으로 대변되는 단면에서의 위치와 (2) 경계조건으로 대변되는 축방향 하중과 철근 부식량의 영향성을 분석했다. 철근-콘크리트 계면 균열은 계면 공극을 압도적으로 넘어서는 양의 부식이 진행된 조건에서 압축변형에 의해 발생됐으며, 기둥 표면의 균열은 축하중에 의한 인장변형으로 발생되며, 표면에서 발생된 균열은 기둥 단면의 내부로 발달됐다. 인장변형에 의한 계면균열은 축하중에 의존적이었으며, 단면의 피복부 균열 보다 선행적으로 발생됐다. 또한 축하중은 압축변형에 의해 발생되는 계면 균열의 분포와 속도에 영향을 미쳤으며, 인장 변형에 의한 균열에 지배적인 영향을 미쳤다.

본 논문은 폴리머 모르타르로 보수된 철근콘크리트 보의 휨거동을 실험적 해석적으로 분석한 결과를 제시한다. 실험적 연구에서는 보수위치, 모르타르 재령을 실험변수로 고려하여 제작된 13개의 보에 대한 3점 휨실험이 실시되었다. 인장측 및 압축측을 보수한 실험체들의 파괴는 모르타르와 콘크리트의 계면에서 발생하지 않았으며, 폴리머 모르타르의 인장변형률이 극한변형률을 초과하는 순간 발생하였다. 압축측을 보강한 실험체들은 기준실험체의 최대하중과 유사하였다. 그들의 연성지수는 기준실험체보다 훨씬 컸다. 인장측을 보수한 실험체는 매우 취성적으로 파괴되었으며, 연성지수가 크게 감소하였다. 폴리머 모르타르로 보수된 철근콘크리트의 보의 휨거동을 예측하기 위해 Opensees을 사용한 재료비선형 해석을 진행하였다. 해석 모델을 단순화하기 위해 2차원 골조요소를 적용하였으며, 재료 비선형성을 고려하기 위해 파이버 모델을 적용하였다. 해석결과는 비선형 구조해석은 압축측 보수 실험체의 휨거동을 적절하게 예측하나, 인장측 휨거동는 다소 과대 평가하는 것으로 나타났다.

교반관법으로 제조한 $AZ91HP/SiC_p$ Mg 복합재료를 틱소포팅하여 미세조직과 존재상들을 조사하였다. $AZ91HP/SiC_p$ Mg 복합재료를 반응고 가공시 액상율 50% 이상에서 완전 충전이 이루어겼으며 전형적인 반응고 조직을 보였다. 복합재료내의 강화상이 초정 $\alpha$상의 합체, 조대화를 억제하여 보다 용이하게 thixotropic 조직을 가질 수 있었다. TEM 관찰결과, 복합재료내의 계면반응 생성물은 MgO, $Mg_2Si$ 및 $Al_{12}Mg_{17}$등이며, 직접 가압시 정출상으로 나타나는 비평형상인 decagonal T상이 관찰되었으며, 이 상은 간접가압시 안정상인 $Al_6Mn$의 형태로 관찰되었다. 이는 간접가압시 승온시간이 직접가압보다 상대적으로 길어, 비평형의 decagonal T상이 안정한 $Al_6Mn$상으로 생성된 것으로 판단된다. 아직까지 생성과정이 명확하진 않으나 교반관법으로 제조 후, 2차가압 성형시 비평형상의 존재는 재료의 강화에 기여할 것으로 판단된다.
