In this study, the Johnson-Kendall-Roberts(JKR) theory was combined with the instrumented indentation technique (IIT) to evaluate work of adhesion and modulus of elastomeric polymer. Indentation test was used to obtain the load-displacement data for contacts between Tungsten Carbide indenter and elastomeric polymer. And the JKR contact model, contrived to take viscoelastic effects of polymer into account, was applied to compensate the contact area and the elastic modulus which Hertzian contact model would underestimate and overestimate, respectively. Besides, we could obtain the thermodynamic work of adhesion by considering the surface energy in this contact model. In order to define the relation between JKR contact area and applied load without optical measuring of contact area, we used the relation between applied load and contact stiffness by examining the correlation between JKR contact area and stiffness through dimensional analysis with 14 kinds of elastomeric polymer. From this work, it could be demonstrated that the interfacial work of adhesion and elastic modulus of compliant polymer can be obtained from a simple instrumented indentation testing without area measurement, and provided as the main algorithm of compliant polymer characterization.

The microstructures and indentation fracture of pressureless-sintered $DyNbO_4$ crystalline were investigated as a basic study for the application of weak phase of fibrous monolithic composites. They were comprised with many lamella twins as well as micro-cracks at the grain boundaries. The hardness at room temperature was remarkably low value(575 Hv) due to the low relative density and existence of microcracks at grain boundaries. The main fracture mode was a typical intergranular fracture, and showed remarkable micro-cracking effect. The heavy plastic deformation was observed around the site of indentation. In addition, the $DyNbO_4$ was expected to apply as a weak phase in the fibrous monolithic composites because of the low hardness and easily plastic deformation that could be led the preferable pulled-out and microcracking toughening under the failure.

This paper describes a development of the extrusion process and estimation of the weldability for multi cell tubes used to cooling system of automobiles. A study on extrusion process is performed through the 3D FE simulation in non-steady state and extrusion experimentation. Also, nano-indentation test is employed to estimate the weldability of tubes. Especially, An evaluation of the weldability using the nano-indentation is accomplished as compared with nano-hardness in welded part and in the others. Finally, the pattern of the mandrel defection is investigated according to shapes of the porthole and/or chamber.

The surface lapping process on sapphire wafer was carried out for the epitaxial process of thin film growth of GaN semiconducting material. The planarization of the wafers was investigated by the introduction of the dummy wafers. The diamond lapping process causes the surface deformation of dislocation and micro-cracks. The material deformation due to the mechanical stress was analyzed by the X-ray diffraction and the Vickers indentation. The fracture toughness was increased with the increased annealing temperature indicating the recrystallization at the surface of the sapphire wafer The sudden increase at the temperature of $1200^{\circ}C$ was correlated with the surface phase transition of sapphire from a $-A1_{2}O_{3}\;to\;{\beta}-A1_{2}O_{3}$.

Kinetic indentation technique was studied and a method to evaluate wear and fatigue behaviors of irradiated small specimen was suggested. The method is based on both the proportion of elastic and plastic deformation and values obtained by micro-hardness test. The parameters obtained from the diagram of load-indentation depth-time are required to evaluates wear and fatigue properties. Considering the irradiated test specimen, it is one of possible and useful methods to estimate the irradiated wear and fatigue behaviors of the small size specimen. This article briefly describes the status of irradiated material study in domestic research reactor.

A $CO_2$ laser overlay was conducted by using a Fe-based powder on the AC2B aluminum substrate. Cracks and intermetallic compounds (IMC) were observed inconsistently along the interface between the overlay and post-molten layer. A scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) detected some Fe-rich IMC ($Fe_3Al$, FeAl) as well as the brittle Al-rich IMC ($Fe_2Al_5,\;FeAl_3$). Micro vickers hardness proved the formation of Al-rich IMC ($FeAl_3$) along the interface by showing HV0.1 $800{\sim}900$. Furthermore, nano indentation was successfully applied to investigate the behavior of IMC more precisely than the micro vickers hardness.

In this work, effects of hyper-elastic rubber material properties on the indentation load-deflection curve and subindenter deformation are examined via finite element (FE) analyses. An optimal location for data analysis is selected, which features maximum strain energy density and negligible frictional effect. We then contrive two normalized functions, which map an indentation load vs. deflection curve into a strain energy density vs. first invariant curve. From the strain energy density vs. first invariant curve, we can extract the rubber material properties. This new spherical indentation approach produces the rubber material properties in a manner more effective than the common uniaxial tensile/com-pression tests. The indentation approach successfully measures the rubber material properties and the corresponding nominal stress-strain curve with an average error less than 3%.

MEMS technology applying to the sensors and micro-electro devices is complete system. These microsystems are made by variable processes. Especially, the mentallization process has very important functions to transfer the power operating the sensor and signal induced from sensor part. But in the structures of MEMS the local stress concentration and deformation are often yielded by an irregular geometrical shape and different constraint. Therefore, this paper studies the effect of supporting type and thickness ratio about thin film of the substrate on the residual stress variation when the thermal loads is applied to the multi-layer thin film fabricated by metallization process. Specimens were made from several materials such as Al, Au and Cu. Then, uniform thermal load was applied, repeatedly. The residual stress was measured by FE Analysis and nano-indentation method using AFM. Generally, the specimen made of Al induced the larger residual stress than that of made of other materials. Specimen made of Cu and Au having the low thermal expansion coefficient induces the minimum residual stress. Similarly, the lowest indentation length was measured by nano-indentation method in the Si/Au/Cu specimen. Particularly, clusters are created in the specimen made of Cu by thermal load and the indentation length became increasingly large by cluster formation.

재료에 가해지는 하중에 따른 변형정도를 측정하는 연속압입시험은 비파괴적으로 재료의 기계적 물성을 직접 평가할 수 있는 기법으로, 하충의 범위에 따라 macro, micro 그리고 nano의 세 범위로 나눌 수 있다. Macro 범위는 kgf 영역에서 사용되어, 국부 영역의 인장물성과 신뢰성 저하의 주요 원인인 잔류응력을 구할 수 있으며, 최근에는 국내기술에 의해 관련 기기와 기술이 개발되었다. 산업구조물, 사용중인 배관 등 기존 시험법으로는 평가하기 힘든 소재의 신뢰성 평가에 많은 활용이 이루어지고 있다. Micro 범위는 gf 영역으로, macro 범위보다 높은 분해능에 의해 용접부 등 물성 구배가 존재하는 재료에 사용된다. 한편 mgf 영역의 극미소하중에 적용되는 nanoindentation technique은 기본적으로 경도와 탄성계수를 구할 수 있으며, 잔류응력, 인장물성 등을 유도하는 연구가 진행중이다. 반도체 재료, 다 상 재료, 바이오 소재 등에서 많은 활용이 이루어지고 있으며, 그 수요가 급격히 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 이러한 연구 들올 바탕으로 하여 국제 표준 규격 및 국내 표준 규격의 제정이 추진 중이다.
