This study analyzes the apparent fracture toughness of a thick-walled cylinder with a functionally graded material (FGM) coating at the inner surface of the cylinder. The cylinder is assumed to have a single radial edge crack emanating from its inner surface. The crack surfaces and the inner surface of the cylinder are subjected to an internal pressure. The incompatible eigenstrain developed in the cylinder due to nonuniform coefficient of thermal expansion as a result of cooling from sintering temperature is taken into account. Based on a method of evaluating stress intensity factor introduced in our previous study, an approach is developed to calculate apparent fracture toughness. The approach is demonstrated for a cylinder with a TiC/$Al_{2}O_{3}$ FGM coating and some numerical results of apparent fracture toughness are presented graphically. The effects of material distribution profile, cylinder wall thickness, application temperature, and coating thickness on the apparent fracture toughness are investigated in details. It is found that all of these factors play an important role in controlling the apparent fracture toughness of the cylinder.

Konjac(Amorphophallus konjac) glucomannan dispersions were prepared from konjac flour, pretreated konjac flour and purified glucomannan. Konjac glucomannan dispersions showed non-Newtonian fluid behavior without yield stress and higher shear stress at fixed shear rate than the dispersions of gum xanthan, gum carrageenan and sodium alginate. While temperature increased, shear stress at fixed shear rate of konjac glucomannan dispersion steadily decreased. The apparent viscosity of konjac glucomannan dispersion was in its maximum at pH 7, whereas decreased on the outskirts of pH 7. The change in apparent viscosity was not found up to 1% sodium chloride addition in case of konjac glucomannan dispersion. However, the apparent viscosity of konjac glucomannan dispersion decreased up to sugar addition of 10%, afterwards increased.

Interfacial evaluation, damage sensing and cure monitoring of single carbon fiber/thermosetting composite with different curing processes was investigated using electro-micromechanical test. After curing, residual stress was monitored by measurement of electrical resistance (ER) and then it was compared to correlate with various curing processes. In thermal curing, curing shrinkage appeared significantly by matrix shrinkage and residual stress due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficient (TEC). The change in electrical resistance (ΔR) on thermal curing was higher than that on ultraviolet (UV) curing. For thermal curing, apparent modulus was the highest and reaching time until same strain was faster. So far thermal curing shows strong durability on the IFSS after boiling test.

It is important to consider an effect of concrete member sizes when estimating the ACI rectangular stress block of a reinforced concrete flexural member. However, the experimental data and analytical analyses are still not available for a proper evaluation. For all types of loading conditions, the trend is that the size of an ACI rectangular stress block tends to change when the member sizes change. In this paper, the size variations of strength coefficients for ACI rectangular stress block and actual stress distribution have been studied. Results of a series of C-shaped specimens subjected to axial compressive load and bending moment were adopted from references 1 and 2. The analysis results show that the effect of specimen sizes on strength coefficients for ACI rectangular stress block and actual stress distribution of concrete member was apparent. Thus, the results suggest that the current strength criteria based design practice should be reviewed.

A spherical indentation has been proposed as a nondestructive method of measuring local residual stress field in laser-voided joints. The apparent yield strengths interpreted from the spherical indentation data of as-welded cutting wheel were compared with the intrinsic yield strengths measured at nearly equivalent locations in annealed wheel. Their difference along the distance from the welding line is welding stress distribution because the intrinsic yield strength is invariant regardless of the elastic residual stress. The spherical indentations show that the laser-welded diamond cutting wheel displays a 10 min-wide distribution of the welding residual stress and has peak compressive and tensile stresses in the shank and tip regions, respectively.

The apparent activation energy Q$_{c}$ and the applied stress exponent n have been determined during creep of Al 7075 alloy over the temperature range of 90.deg. C to 320.deg. C (0.4-0.65T$_{m}$) and stress range of 1.85 kgf/mm$^{2}$ to 21 kgf/mm$^{2}$, respectively in order to investigate the creep behavior. Constant load creep tests were carried out in the experiment. At round the temperature of 200.deg. C-240.deg. C and under the stress level 8.13-9.55kgf/mm$^{2}$ and again at around the temperature of 280.deg. C-320.deg. C and under the stress level of 1.85-2.55kgf/mm$^{2}$, the creep behavior obeyed for the creep deformation was nearly equal to that of the volume self diffusion of pure aluminum (34kcal/mole). But at around the temperature of 90.deg. C and under the stress level of 10-21kgf/mm$^{2}$, the creep behavior did not obey a simple power-law relation and the apparent activation enrgy, Q$_{c}$ was 26.01 kcal/mole. From the above facts, at around the temperature of 200.deg. C-240.deg. C and 280.deg. C-320.deg. C, the creep deformation for Al 7075 alloy seemed to be controlled by dislocation climb but at 90.deg. C, by cross slip over the range of experimental stress conditions.tions.

The apparent activation energy, the applied stress exponent, and rupture life have been measured from creep experiments over the range of $200^{\circ}C$ to $220^{\circ}C$ and the applied stress range of 64MPa to 94MPa. The materials were used AZ31 magnesium alloys treated by plasma electrolytic oxidation of $20{\mu}m$ and $40{\mu}m$ at surface to investigate the its influence on creep behavior, and creep tests were carried out under constant applied stress and temperature. The experimental results showed that the dipper the thickness of surface treatment the higher the activation energy and stress exponent. And the higher temperature and applied stress, the lower stress exponent and activation energy, respectively. Also the dipper the thickness of surface treatment the longer creep rupture time.

Apparent mechanical properties in structural components can be different from the initially designed values due to the formation of the residual stress in metal forming and welding. Therefore, the evaluation of residual stress has great importance in the reliability diagnosis of structural components. A nondestructive instrumented indentation technique has been proposed to evaluate various strength concerning mechanical properties from the analysis of load-depth curve. In this study, quantitative residual stress estimation on API X65 welded joints for natural gas pipeline was performed by analyzing the variation of indentation loading curve by residual stress through a new proposed theoretical model. The residual stress from the indentation method was compared with that from the saw-cutting method.
