This study examined the welding residual stress and fracture toughness of 78mm thick steel electro gas welding (EGW) and flux cored arc welding (FCAW) welded joints by numerical analyses of the thermal elasto-plastic behavior and fracture toughness(KIC). The residual stress, fracture toughness characteristics and production mechanism on the welded joints were clarified. Moreover, the effects of the welding process (EGW and FCAW) on the welding residual stresses and fracture toughness of welded joints were evaluated. The results showed that the new welding process (EGW) appears to be an effective substitute for the existing welding process (FCAW) in a thick steel plate with high strength.

Bending strength, bending elastic modulus ,and fracture toughness of different types of dental composite resins were deter mined. The relationship between bending strength, fracture toughness and filler volume fraction of dental composite resin was understood. In Acoustic Emission(AE) behavior during fracture toughness test, characteristic generation patterns of each type were understood. The fracture toughness values, AE generation patterns, and the nature of fracture surface were analyzed to understand fracture behavior of dental composite resin.

We have simulated the effect of fracture characteristics on reduction of effective permeability of the fractured rocks due to in-situ bacteria growth. A nutrient is injected continuously for growth of in-situ bacteria. We used a power law for fracture length distribution and a fBm for fracture aperture spatial distribution. The results show that in-situ bacteria growth reduces the Permeability hyperbolically, but the porosity of backbone fracture does not change significantly. It shows that reduction of the permeability proceeds at faster speed for smaller value of length exponent(a) and for larger value of Hurst exponent(H). The fracture length distribution has stronger effect on speed of reduction than the aperture spatial distribution. The time needed to reduce permeability is inversely proportional to the hydraulic gradient.

Hole flanging experiments are performed on flat circular plates with a hole in the center and the flangeability and fracture behaviors of TRIP steels and ferrite-Bainite duplex steels were examined. In the hole flanging, deformation by lip and petalling occurs when plates are struck by punches of various shapes and high circumferential strains induced in the target material cause radial cracking and the subsequent rotation of the affected plate material in a number of symmetric petals. In all cases, failure of the plate was due to lip fracture that results from multiple localized neckings that take place around the hole periphery where straining is most severe and a somewhat regular pattern was observed in a fracture shape. The neck characteristics in flange formation and the transition from the lip to petal mode at which fracture occurs were compared with two materials.

It is well known that mechanisms of fracture and crack growth depend upon material characteristics such as fracture toughness, environmental condition, crack geometry and mechanical properties. It seems to be very important to investighate the effects of the above factors on the behavior of structural components which contain flaws for the detailed evaluation of their integrity. In this experimental research, fracture behaviors of SK-5 high carbon steel was investigated by using Acoustic Emission(AE) technique. Fracturing processes of materials were estimated through both the tension test with nominal specimens and the fracture test with compact tension specimens. The critical applied load which corresponds to the crack initiation and propagation is very improtant for the determination of yield strength of fracture toughness. The critical applied load($P_Q$) was determined through AE method and the source of AE signal was estimated by fractography analysis. The experimental results may contribute to the safety analyses and strength evaluation of structures.

A standard method for the evalution of the fracture toughness of the high polymer materials has not been fully developed in comparison with that for metallic materials, and has not yet established. In this paper, fracture toughness tests using polycarbonate specimens were carried out. The fracture thughness tests using polycabonate specimens were carried out. The fracture toughness of commercial polycarbonate were dependent on the specimen thickness. The specimen thickness is necessary above 8mm to obtain the valid $K_{IC}$. A cumulative counts were slightly dependent on specimen thickness.

Continuous fiber ceramic composites(CPCCs) having the advantages of ceramics resistance to heat, eroson can be applied in chemical reactors and engine. CFCCs has relatively high stiffness in spite of low weight. In particular, it exhibits greatly increased toughness, which serves to decrease its inherent damage characteristics of the brittle nature of monolithic ceramics. In this wort, tensile and flexural test for SCS6 fiber/ $Si_3N_4$ matrix composites were studied. An objective of this study is to obtain the basic quantities of mechanical properties for tension and flexural test and link these to the fracture resistance behavior. Then, we showed that wok of fracture concept was useful as a method for describing fracture restance behavior of CFCCs.

Wear and fracture mode of ceramic tool for hardened SKD11 steel was investigated by face milling in this study. The cutting force and Acoustic Emission(AE) signal were utilized to detect the wear and fracture of ceramic tool. The following conclusions were obtained : (1) The wear and fracture modes of ceramic tool are characterized by three types: \circled1wear which has normal wear and notch wear, \circled2 wear caused by scooping on the rake face, \circled3 large fracture caused by thermal crack in the rake face. (2) The wear behaviour of ceramic tool can be detected by the increase of mean cutting force and the variation of the AE RMS voltage. (3) The catastrophic fracture of ceramic tool can be detected by the cutting force(Fz-component). (4) As the hardness of work material increased, Acoustic Emission RMS value and mean cutting force(Fz) increased linearly, but the tool life decreased.

In this study, electron microscopy, Fractography and $J_{IC}$ test have been used to investigate the fracture behaviour in the scope of aging temperature which 7075 Al-alloy can have high strength. Conclusions obtained on this study are as followed. 1) When the 7075 Al-alloy was aged for 24hrs at $120^{\circ}C$, it's mechanical properties was excellent but fracture toughness decrement resulted from intergranular fracture was emerged. 2) The state of aged for 24hrs at $100^{\circ}C$, had the highest fracture toughess. 3) We could infer that intergranular fracture occurred because preferrential precpitated precipitates in the grain boundary growed in the form of colinear along the grain boundary.

High temperature fracture toughness characteristics of shot peened spring steel(SUP-9), which is used for automobile suspension system and railroad, was investigated in this paper. Fracture tougness test for room temperature, $100^{\circ}C$ , and $200^{\circ}C$ were evaluated by material test system(MTS). The experimental results show that the fracture toughness was improved by peened and unpeened. The fracture toughness for high temperature were also improved by peened and unpeened.
