HDPE smooth and textured GMs were cut into dumbbell shape and notched where depth of the notch produced a ligament thickness of 90% to 10% of the nominal thickness of the specimen at 10% interval. Yield stress and elongation were measured of those samples and plotted on Graph. Yield stress and elongation at yield point decreases gradually as the notch depth is increased. Both installations damaged and notched GMs were used to understand stress crack behavior. Intact sample were notched in such a manner that the depth of notch produced a ligament thickness of 80% of the nominal thickness of the specimen. Installation damaged samples were not notched. Stress Crack Resistance behavior was observed using NCTL Test at $50{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ at different yield stresses immerging with pH 4 and pH 12 buffer solutions. Significant difference was observed in both cases.

This paper presents the experimental results for durability of an ECC designed with ground granulated blast furnace slag (BFS) through the test method of chloride ion resistance and freezing-thawing resistance. In order to compare with ECC, normal mortar was also tested. Test results showed that BFS ECC exhibited higher durability performance than ordinary mortar. These results suggest that by adding BFS in ECC, its matrix density is increased which results in decreased of deterioration and it also adds to the fiber bridging that contributes in control of cracking.

An extensive database has been constructed of reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column connection tests subjected to cyclic lateral loading. All cases within the database experienced joint shear failure, either in conjunction with or without yielding of longitudinal beam reinforcement. Using the experimental database, envelope curves of joint shear stress vs. joint shear strain behavior have been created by connecting key points such as cracking, yielding, and peak loading. Various prediction approaches for RC joint shear behavior are discussed using the constructed experimental database. RC joint shear strength and deformation models are first presented using the database in conjunction with a Bayesian parameter estimation method, and then a complete model applicable to the full range of RC joint shear behavior is suggested. An RC joint shear prediction model following a U.S. standard is next summarized and evaluated. Finally, a particular joint shear prediction model using basic joint shear resistance mechanisms is described and for the first time critically assessed.

It is important to evaluate austenitic heat resistant stainless steel because of low weldability of austenitic heat resistant stainless steel containing high Si. This study took varestraint test for evaluation of solidification cracking sensitivity and Erichsen test for evaluation of weld metal ductility. As a result of tests, solidification crack sensitivity increased with adding $N_2$ to shielding gas, and W had detrimental effect on crack resistance, but Ce had beneficial effect on crack resistance. Under same heat input, ductility of weld metal increased with welding speed.

The bowl in a ship purifier suffers from high stress and high temperature in a detrimental heavy fuel oil environment. Duplex stainless steel(DSS) is a primary material to withstand this harsh condition. Newly-manufactured STS 329 grade DSS has been evaluated by various mechanical and electrochemical test methods. Eight heat treatment(HT) conditions with different temperature and time were applied to the DSS samples to improve corrosion resistance. Microstructure and polarization test results concluded the optimum HT condition was $1.090^{\circ}C$-60 minutes. Confirmation experiments for applying to a real bowl including stress corrosion cracking test exhibited the reproducibility of the optimum HT condition.

The effect of post-irradiation shelf-aging time on the wear of orthopaedic grade UHMWPE was investigated, and wear results were correlated with the time-dependent microstructural changes of polyethylene after gamma irradiation sterilization. The levels of oxidation and crosslinking in the shelf-aged acetabular liners were examined by FTIR and hot xylene extraction, respectively, and uni-directional repeat pass sliding wear tests were conducted by using a pin-on-disc wear tester. Gamma irradiation sterilization in the air environment caused an increase of oxidation, crosslinking, and wear resistance. With aging, however, oxidation progressed and decreased the level of crosslinking. This resulted in a decrease of wear resistance of UHMWPE that was accompanied with the existence of white bands and brittle cracking.

Characteristics of cavitation erosion resistance of Fe-20Cr-1Si-1C-xMn(x=0, 5, 15) alloys were investigated by SEM and XRD analysis. The effects on strain-induced transformations were considerably reduced with increasing the amounts of Mn due to twining that occurred at 5, 15Mn alloys, activating cavitation erosion rates(mg/$\textrm{cm}^2$) which varied as 0.055, 0.114 and 0.160mg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ for 0, 5, 15Mn. From the results, it was found that the addition of Mn element in Fe-base alloy provides more cracking sites at twins rather than absorbing strain energies, so accelerates cavitation erosion rates.

The work aims to evaluate the necessary physical properties of Abrasion Resistant Pavers designed for high volume pedestrian and road vehicle traffic and their influence on the selection of raw materials and ceramic processes. The pavers' specifications such as high strength and ware resistance demand a careful clay preparation, slow drying, slow firing and a balanced chemical and mineralogical composition. Therefore, developing abrasion Resistant Pavers in existing modern brickmaking plants, which are designed primarily for making bricks and pavers for domestic applications, has become a challenge for manufacturers and ceramic professionals. The significance of quality control and research and development in the production of these high class pavers is also emphasised in this work through the investigation of a paver that exhibits shrinkage cracking.

This report was prepared to give informations on a proper way to develop new consumables for the steels with improved weldability. Traditionally, hydrogen control has been pursued mainly for suppressing the HICC in HAZ but it also has contributed to HICC in weld metal. Facing the limitations in reducing the hydrogen content, it is now important to consider the microstructural control approach in order to improve the HICC resistance of weld metal . It has been shown that changes in alloy design, and hence composition and microstructure, was quite effective in producing high strength weld metal with improved resistance to cold cracking. Besides the economic test methods for evaluating susceptibility of multipass weld metal is essential to promote the development of welding consumables.

The role dispersoids has been studied in a number of researches as a key point for the high strength application of dispersion strengthened aluminum alloy. The mechanical alloying(MA) process with high mechanical properties of dispersion strengthened MA Al-8Ti-1B alloys were invested in order to evaluate their stress corrosion cracking(SCC) application. SCC properties of the mechanically alloyed Al-8Ti-1B were studied using slow strain rate test(SSRT). In this study Al-8Ti-1B alloy were more susceptible to SCC in solutions of pH=2.01 and 13.2 than pH=6.81 solution. In this study Al-8Ti-1B alloys by MA had more SCC resistance than Al-8Ti alloys or Al 7075-T73 alloys. So Al-8Ti-1B alloys by MA had more resistance in SSRT SCC susceptinility test than any other above alloying metals.
