This paper presents results on static and cyclic loading tests of anchorage system for externally prestressed CFRP plate. A total of 6 specimens have been tested. The specimens can be classified into the concrete surface specimens and the concrete near surface mounted specimens. Static test results before and after cyclic loading test reveal that anchorage system for externally prestressed CFRP plate has static capacity more than CFRP tensile strength.

This study reviews several fracture models for predicting the residual strength of notched composite laminates. Representative experimental results on the residual strength of composite laminates containing a notch subjected to static uniaxial tensile loading have been collected from open literature. And notched strength data for T300/5208 are analyzed. The various parameters associated with the fracture models have been determined for laminates. Notched strength data sets are compared with fracture models and the applicability of the different fracture models in predicting the notched strength of composite laminates is discussed. And static tests have been performed on 2.0mm depth notched specimen. And the test results are compared with analysis models.

Mechanical property evaluation of micrometer-sized structures is necessary to help design reliable microelectromechanical systems(MEMS) devices. Most material properties are known to exhibit dependence on specimen size and such properties of microscale structures are not well characterized. This paper describes techniques developed for tensile testing of materials used in MEMS. Epi-polycrystalline silicon is currently the most widely used material, and its tensile strength has been measured as 1.52GPa. We have developed an uniaxial testing machine for testing microscale specimen using electro-magnetic actuator. The field magnet and the moving coil taken from an audio-speaker were utilized as the components of the actuator. Structure of specimen was designed and manufactured for easy handling and alignment. In addition to the static tensile tests, new techniques and procedures for measuring strength are described.

An acoustic emission technique is applied to the tensile tests of the plastic specimen under the different test speeds and the structural integrity evaluation of the plastic shell structure. Several AE characteristics are acquired from the tensile tests and they are proven to be useful parameters in evaluating its structural integrity. The results shows that tensile strength has almost constant value over some higher speed region while revealing some increasing tendency in strength as the test speeds up in lower speed region. The crack initiation loads and locations are accurately evaluated during the static compression testing of the plastic shell structures by using acoustic emission technique.

In this paper, the properties of concrete used recycled aggregate are analyzed. The specimens are manufactured for the compressive strength of 210㎏/㎠ with recycled aggaregate ratio of 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%, respectivey. At curing 28days, compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, dry-shrinkage, static modulus of elasticity and poission's ratio have been tested according to replacement ratio of recycled aggregate.

For industrial centrifuges, the state of their welding areas, even with a naked-eye observation, offers potential safety problems such as inconsistent bead formation. STS304, which is used mainly in centrifuges, is made of metal alloys with chrome and nickel as the main ingredients, offering excellent corrosion resistance, thermal resistance, and high strength, and thus allowing it to be used for diverse purposes. This paper conducted tensile and fatigue tests of STS304 to improve the safety of centrifuges. In the findings, for the static behavior of the STS304 material, welded specimens increased their yield and tensile strength compared with the base test specimens, but decreased their elongation ratio. Also, the data dispersion phenomenon of welded specimens remarkably increased.

Many experimental and analytical studies have been conducted with beam-column subassemblages composed of a two-span beam to investigate the progressive collapse resistance of RC frames. Most study results reveal a strength-decreased transition phase in the nonlinear static load-deflection curve, which may induce dynamic snap-through response and increase the chord rotation demand for effective catenary action (ECA). In this study, the nonlinear static response is idealized as a piecewise linear curve and analytical pseudo-static response is derived for each linearized region to investigate the rotation demands for the ECA of the two-span RC beams. With analytical parameters determined from several published test results, numerical analysis results indicate that the rotation demand of 0.20 rad recommended in the design guidelines does not always guarantee the ECA. A higher rotation demand may be induced for the two-span beams designed with smaller span-to-depth ratios and it is better to use their peak arch resistance (PAR) as the collapse strength. A tensile reinforcement ratio not greater than 1.0% and a span-to-depth ratio not less than 7.0 are suggested for the two-span RC beams bridging the removed column if the ECA is expected for the collapse resistance. Also, complementary pseudo-static analysis is advised to verify the ECA under realistic dynamic column loss even though the static PAR is recovered in the nonlinear static response. A practical empirical formula is provided to estimate an approximate rotation demand for the ECA.

In this research, a basis test on steel fiber concrete's material property was carried out and optimum design as well as material property was examined. In corroboration of it, the compressive strength was compared with the tensile strength and this paper tried to get the initial load of flexural cracking and the ultimate load in the positive-negative moment section through the static test of beam. The addition rate of the steel fiber, 0.75 SFRC specimen was failed at $65{\sim}75%$ of the static ultimate strength and it could be concluded that fatigue strength to two million cycle was around 75.2%.

The static tensile tests of GFRP, ID300, CFRID300 and CFRPEEK were made on the plain and notched specimens at room temperature. The results were discussed based on linear notch mechanics which was proposed by H.Nistani. The fracture of notched GFRP, ID300, CFRID300 and CFRPEEK specimens is controlled by the elastic maximum stress, $({\sigma}_max)$, and the notch root racius,$\rho$, alone, independently of the other geometrical conditions. The relation between fracture nominal stress,$({\sigma}_max)$, and stress concentration factor, $K_t$ and a part where $({\sigma}_c)$ is nearly constant independent of $K_t$. A similar phenomenon can be seen in the fatigue tests of notched specimes under rotating bending or push-pull. The almost constant $({\sigma}_c)$ values correspond to the nearly constant apparent stress intensity factor, $K_{1pc}$ values, obtained by assuming ,$\rho$=0. This can be attributed to the existence of the stable crack. Linear notch mechanics is very useful for analyzing the static tensile fracture behavior of notched GFRP, ID300, CFRPEEK specimens.
