As the technique of resistance spot welding became more and more advanced the factors hitherto considered secondary become more and more important. Among these factors the distribution of heat and temperature during resistance spot welding is particularly important in conjunction with thermal stress, strain and residual stress, strain problems. The analytical investigations upon the transient temperature due to resistance spot welding were made for the carbon steel plate and aluminum alloy plate. The numerical values obtained by the analytical investigation are nearly identical with the temperature distribution which obtained by D.J. Sullivan and some other experimental data. It was thought therefore useful to estimate the heat effect upon the material such as a residual stress and strain, metalurgical change, change in physical properties and etc.

Fatigue crack closure levels based on the behavior of residual displacements on crack surfaces, are determined analytically according to the microscopic crack closure mechanisms, i.e., whether the first contact of crack surfaces takes place at the very crack tip or on the surfaces near the tip. The comparative analysis on the two models is carried out empirically by the constant amplitude fatigue tests on 2024-T3 aluminum alloy plate, and it shows that under negative stress ratio, the case of the first contact at crack tip gives better agreement with the experimental results than the other.

Aluminum nitride(AIN) thin films were deposited on SiO$_2$/Si substrates by reactive sputtering for the application of SAW devices. The major deposition parameters such as pressure, nitrogen fraction, rf power, substrate distance were changed to find out the optimal condition for c-axis oriented thin films on an amorphous substrate. The effects of deposition parameters on the crystal structure, residual stress, and growth morphology of thin films were characterized by XRD, SEM, and TEM. The FWHM of (002) rocking curve of the films deposited at the proper condition was lower than 2.2$^{\circ}$(C=0.93$^{\circ}$). Cross-sectional TEM showed that self-aligned structure was developed just after slightly random growth at the initial stage. The frequency characteristics of test device fabricated from AIN thin films confirmed their piezoelectric property and applicability for SAW devices.

Mechanical properties of Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposited (PECVD) silicon nitride thin film was studied to determine the feasibility of the film as a passivation layer over the aluminum bonding areas of integrated circuit chips. Ultimate strain of the films in thicknesses of about 5 k${\AA}$ was measured using four-point bending method. The ultimate strain of these films was constant at about 0.2% regardless of residual stress. Intrinsic and residual stresses of these films were measured and compared with thermal shock and cycling test results. Comparison of the results showed that more tensile films were more susceptible to crack- induced failure.

A method for the retardation of fatigue crack growth using ring indentation at the vicinity of a crack is examined. Residual stresses near crack tip are evaluated using fracture mechanics approach using the Bueckner weight function. The motivation is to develop a simple and effective method for obtaining an increase in fatigue lives to total failure of materials with crack. Fatigue testing of aluminum specimen showed that the retardation effects are observed after the application of the method.

Bonding of resin to cast alloy has traditionally been provided by mechanical retention. But, chemical bonding methods such as silicoating, tin plating, heat treatment, application of 4-META adhesives, have been developed to overcome the problems of the mechanical bonding methods. Silicoating has been used availaby in fixed prosthodontics, but is also reported to be used in removable prosthodontics. The aim of this study is to measure the tensile bond strength between resin and metal, and compare the effect of the type of metal and the grain size of the aluminum oxide on the bond strength, after metal surface roughening, coating of the opaque resin, and curing of heat-curing resin were performed. The test groups were divided into 4 groups according to the cast alloys and the aluminum oxide particles used. Group 1 : Type 4 gold alloy(DM66) blasted with $$50{\mu}m\;Al_{2}O_3$$ Group 2 : Type 4 gold alloy(DM66) blasted with $$250{\mu}m\;Al_{2}O_3$$, Group 3 : Co-Cr alloy(Nobilium) blasted with $$50{\mu}m\;Al_{2}O_3$$ Group 4 : Co-Cr alloy(Nobilium) blasted with $$250{\mu}m\;Al_{2}O_3$$ * 10 test specimens were made on each group. The specimens were thermocycled, and Instron Universal testing machine was used to measure the tensile bond strength of the finished specimens. The results were as follows : 1. Bond strengths showed that the group of gold alloy blasted with $250{\mu}m$ aluminum oxide particle had higher bond strength, and the group of gold alloy blasted with $50{\mu}m$ aluminum oxide particles had lower bond strength than any of the other groups. 2. Gold alloy had significantly higher bond strength when blasted with $250{\mu}m$ aluminum oxide particles than $50{\mu}m$, but. Co-Cr alloy showed no statistically significant difference between the two particle sizes. 3. When blasted with $50{mu}m$ aluminum oxide particles, Co-Cr alloy showed significantly higher bond strength than gold alloy. And, when blasted with $250{\mu}m$ aluminum oxide particles, gold alloy had significantly higher bond strength than Co-Cr alloy. 4. On the examination of the fractured sites, only the group of Co-Cr alloy blasted with $50{\mu}m$ aluminum oxide particles showed a part of residual opaque resin, but all the samples of the other groups fractured between the resin and the metal.

This paper describes an experimental study on fatigue life extension by using cold working process in fastener hole of aircraft structure. Cold working process was applied for A12024-7351 specimens by considering the effect of edge margin on fatigue life. It is generally recognized that cold working process offers a protective zone around fastener hole of aluminum aircraft structure due to the residual compressive stresses which lead to retardation of crack growth. Thus this process provides the beneficial effect of increasing the fatigue life of the component. there by decreasing maintenance costs. It has also been successfully incorporated into damage tolerance and structural integrity programs. Cold working specimens were tested at constant amplitude peak cyclic stresses. Fatigue life of cold working specimen compared with that of specimen fabricated with base material. The increase of fatigue life for cold working specimen is discussed by both considering the effect of residual compressive stresses measured by X-ray diffraction technique and quantitative effect of edge margin.

The durability of a cylinder head is influenced by the thermal and mechanical history during the manufacturing process, as well as engine operation. In order to improve the durability of cylinder head, both load from engine operation and the preload conditions from the manufacturing process must be considered. The aluminum cylinder head used for a HSDI diesel engine is investigated to reduce the possibility of high cycle fatigue crack in this study. FE analysis is performed to elucidate the mechanism of high cycle fatigue crack in the HSDI diesel cylinder head. Two separate approaches to increase the durability of the cylinder head are discussed: reducing load from engine operation and re-arranging preload conditions from the manufacturing process at the critical location of the cylinder head. Local design changes of the cylinder head and modification of pretension load in the cylinder head bolt were investigated using FE analysis to relieve load at the critical location during engine operation. Residual stress formed at the critical location during the manufacturing process is measured and heat treatment parameters are changed to re-arrange the distribution of residual stress. Results of FE analysis and experiments showed that thorough consideration of the manufacturing process is necessary to enhance the durability of the cylinder head.
