The main objective of this work is to contribute to the valorization of plastic and glass waste in the improvement of concrete properties. Waste glass after grinding was used as a partial replacement of the cement with a percentage of 15%. The plastic waste was cut and introduced as fibers with 1% by the total volume of the mixture. Mechanical and durability tests were conducted for various mixtures of concrete as compressive and flexural strengths, water absorption, ultrasonic pulse velocity, and acid attack. Also, other in-depth analyses were performed on samples of each variant such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (DSC-TGA), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results show that the addition of glass powder or plastic fibers or a combination of both in concrete improved in the compression and flexural strengths in the long term. The highest compressive strength was obtained in the mix which combines the two wastes about 26.72% of increase compared to the control concrete. The flexural strength increased in the mixture containing the glass powder. Therefore, the mixture with two wastes exhibits better resistance to aggressive sulfuric acid attack, and incorporating glass powder improves the ultrasonic pulse velocity.

The necessity and the importance of the remanufacturing are increasing day by day along with environmental problems. Many studies are being conducted on remanufacturing, but the research for cleaning is much lacking. This study aims to evaluate the effective cleaning method for remanufacturing of start motors, one of the automobile parts. The cleaning process consists of oil stain removal, drying and rust removal processes. In this study, the two processes were conducted except for the drying process which has little influence on cleaning. The methodology for cleaning agent selection, degreasing and rust removal process was presented. For each methodology, five analysis factors were calculated by two-way comparison according to the process, and the values were evaluated quantitatively by substituting them into the evaluation table. In the selection of cleaning agent, neutral system, ultrasonic cleaning in degreasing, and grinding in rust removal were selected as the best cleaning methods.

There is a large interest to find reliable and automatic methods for crack detection and quantification in the railway bogie frame. The non-destructive inspection of railway bogie frame has been performed by ultrasonic and magnetic particle testing in general inspection. The magnetic particle method has been utilized in the defect inspection of the bogie frame but the grinding process is required before inspection and the dust is developed resulting from the processing. The objective of this paper is to apply the inspection method of bogie frame using infra-red thermography. The infra-red thermography system using the excitation of eddy current was performed for the defect evaluation of weld specimen inserted artificial defects. The result shows that the infra-red thermography method can detect the surface and inner defects in weld specimen for bogie frame.

Burr grinding, Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) dressing, ultrasonic impact treatment, and peening are used to improve fatigue life in steel structures. These methods improve the fatigue life of weld joints by hardening the weld toe, by improving the bead shape, and by creating the compressive residual stress. In this study, a new post-weld treatment method improving the weld bead shape and metal structure at the welding zone using Friction Stir Processing (FSP), a welding process, is proposed to enhance fatigue life. For that, a pin-shaped tool and processing condition employing Friction Stir Processing (FSP) is established through experiments. Experimental results revealed that fatigue life is improved by around 50% compared to as-welded fatigue specimens by reducing the stress concentration at the weld toe and by generating a metal structure finer than that of flux-cored arc welding (FCAW).

습식체질법, 퇴적법 및 원심분리법을 이용하여 얻어진 산청고령토의 9개 입도분리시료에 대하여 체계적인 X-선 회절 및 주사전자현미분석을 시행한 결과, 각 입도분의 점토광물 조성은 고령토의 원조직과 관련이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 침전작용에 의하여 생성된 10-$\AA$ 형 할로이사이트, 일라이트 및 침철석은 미세입도분에 농집되고 모광물의 가상으로 생성된 버미큘라이트는 굵은 입도분에 농집된다. 침전작용 및 가상으로 생성된 다양한 유형의 캐올리나이트는 넓은 입도 분포를 보이지만 일반적으로 굵은 입도분에 농집된다. 굵은 입도분의 할로이사이트는 고령토 원래의 방상구조의 파편들인 할로이사이트 또는 하로이사이트와 캐올리나이트의 덩어리들로 존재하며 분쇄, 초음파처리 및 화학처리에 의해 분산되지 않은 것들이다. 체계적인 습식입도분리 실험에 의하여 10-${\AA}$형 할로이사이트와 캐올리나이트의 구분도 가능하였다. 버미큘라이트와 캐올리나이트 등의 굵은 광물은 2${\mu}m$ 이하의 점토입도분에서는 검출되지 않는 반면 일라이트 및 침철석은 그 양이 적은 경우 원시료만의 X-선 회절분석에서는 검출되지 않는다. 따라서 고령토의 광물조성을 이해하기 위해서는 체계적인 습식입도분리 실험이 필수적이다.
