To measure elastic properties of semiconducting materials in power cable, we have investigated modulus of EBA/carbon black composite showed by changing the content of carbon black. The specimen was primarily kneaded in material samples of pellet form for 5 minutes on rollers ranging between 70[$^{\circ}C$] and 100[$^{\circ}C$]. Then this was produced as sheets after pressing for 20 minutes at 180[$^{\circ}C$] with a pressure of 200[kg/cm]. The contents of conductive carbon black were 20, 30 and 40[wt%], respectively. The modulus experiment was measured by DMA 2980. The ranges of measurement temperature were from -50[$^{\circ}C$] to 100[$^{\circ}C$] and measurement frequency is 1 [Hz]. The modulus of specimens was increased according to an increment of carbon black content And modulus was rapidly decreased at the glass transition temperature. The tan$\delta$ of specimens was decreased according to an increment of carbon black content.

The EAM simulation of nanoindentation was performed to investigate misfit dislocation slip in the Ag/Cu. The film layer, whose thickness in the range of 2-5nm, was indented by a spherical indenter with the N$\'{o}$se-Hoover thermostat condition. The simulation shows that the indentation position relative to misfit dislocation (MFD) has the effect on the dislocation, glide up or cross slip, for Ag film layer thickness less than 4 nm. Elastic energy variation during MFDs slip was revealed to be a key factor for the softening of Ag/Cu. The critical film layer thickness was evaluated for each case of Ag/Cu according to the spline extrapolation technique.

The studies on the non-destructive testing methods of the composite materials are very important for improving their reliability and safety. AE(Acoustic Emission) can evaluate the defects by detecting the emitting strain energy when elastic waves are generated by the generation and growth of a crack, plastic deformation, fiber breakage, matrix cleavage or delamination. In this paper, the AE signals of the filament wound composite cylinder and sandwich cylinder during the pressure test were measured and analyzed. The signal characteristics of PVDF sensors were measured, and an AE signal analyzer which had the band-pass filter and L-C resonance filter were designed and fabricated. Also, the crack detection capability of the fabricated AE signal analyzer wes evaluated during the pressure tests of the filament wound composite cylinder and the sandwich cylinder.

An Internet-based software called the Repair Advisory Service (RAS) was developed to assist aircraft composite repair. The RAS takes advantage of the web user interface and provides estimation of the failure loads of repaired composite laminates and Structural Repair Manual (SRM) with search capability. In this paper, a failure model of lap repair is discussed as an example of the modules in the RAS. The model takes into account anisotropy of each ply in the laminate and in the repair ply, and non-elastic behavior of the interlayer between the laminate and the repair patch. Failure loads calculated by the model were compared with test data, and a good agreement was found between the results of the model and the test.

Despite adiabatic temperature was about 2367K, SHs reaction was completed not by itself, but by using pre-heating. Mean particle size of final particle synthesized was 0.73 ${\mu}$m and most of the particle was smaller than 2${\mu}$m. Elastic modulus and tensile strength of the composite increased with increase the volume fraction of reinforcement but, tensile strength depreciated at 30 vol% of reinforcement.

The rubber materials are widely used in automobile industry due to their capability of a large amount of elastic deformation under a force. Current trend of design process requires prediction of functional properties of parts at early stage. The behavior of rubber material can be modeled using strain energy density function. In this study, five different strain energy density functions - Neo-Hookean model, Reduced Polynomial $2^{nd}$ model, Ogden $3^{rd}$ model, Arruda Boyce model and Van der Waals model - were used to estimate the behavior of carbon black added natural rubber under uniaxial load. Two kinds of tests - uniaxial tension test and biaxial tension test - were performed and used to correlate the coefficients of the strain energy density function. Numerical simulations were carried out using finite element analysis and compared with experimental results. Simulation revealed that Ogden $3^{rd}$ model predicted the behavior of carbon added natural rubber under uniaxial load regardless of experimental data selection for coefficient correlation. However, Reduced Polynomial $2^{nd}$, Ogden $3^{rd}$, and Van der Waals with uniaxial tension test and biaxial tension test data selected for coefficient correlation showed close estimation of behavior of biaxial tension test. Reduced Polynomial $2^{nd}$ model predicted the behavior of biaxial tension test most closely.

This paper presents the mechanical properties of a composite consisting of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) resin mixed with carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) pieces (CFRP/ABS). CFRP pieces made by crushing CFRP wastes were utilized in this material. Nine kinds of CFRP/ABS compounds with different weight fraction and size of CFRP pieces were prepared. Firstly, tensile and flexural tests were performed for the specimens with various CFRP content. Next, fracture surfaces of the specimens were microscopically observed to investigate fracture behavior and fiber/resin interface. Finally, the tensile modulus and strength were discussed based on the macromechanical model. It is found that the elastic modulus increases linearly with increasing CFRP content while the strength changes nonlinearly. Microscopic observation revealed that most carbon fibers are separated individually and dispersed homogeneously in ABS resin. Epoxy resin particles originally from CFRP are dispersed in ABS resin and seem to be in good contact with surrounding resin. The modulus and strength can be expressed using a macromechanical model taking account of fiber orientation, length and interfacial bonding in short fiber composites.

The degree of damage is observed using microscopy and compared with the experimental analysis data. The maximum load capacity, impact strength and elastic energy of glass-fiber honeycomb sandwich panel are more than the aluminium honeycomb sandwich panel.

The compressive characteristics of thick carbon/epoxy composite in a submarine environment was investigated in this study. The specimens made of thick carbon fiber/epoxy composite that were immersed into seawater Jar thirteen months. the seawater content at saturation was about $1.2\%$ of the specimen weight. Compressive tests have been performed in different hydrostatic pressures of 0.1 MPa, 100 MPa, 200 MPa, and 270 MPa. The results showed that the compressive elastic modulus increased about $12.3\%$ as the hydrostatic pressure increased from 0.1 MPa to 200 MPa. The results also showed that compressive fracture strength increased $28\%$ and compressive fracture strain increased $8.5\%$ as the hydrostatic pressure increased from 0.1 MPa to 270 MPa.

This paper presents the vibration damping characteristic of a single lap joint beam with partial dampers analyzed using the model strain energy method and the harmonic response analysis which were based on a finite element model. The two finite element analysis methods exhibited very similar results of the resonant frequency and system loss factor which were comparable to those by the theoretical analysis. Effects of the location of partial dampers and elastic moduli and thickness of their layers on the system loss factor were studied. The damping effects due to changes of modules and loss factor of the viscoelastic layer in lap joint and partial dampers were also studied. Consequently, the geometrical and material conditions at maximizing the system loss factor were suggested.
