The production of ultra-early-strength concrete (UESC) traditionally involves complexity or necessitates high-temperature curing conditions. However, this study aimed to achieve ultra-early-strength performance solely through room-temperature curing. Experimental results demonstrate that under room-temperature (28℃) curing conditions, the concrete attained compressive strengths of 20 MPa at 4 hours and 69.6 MPa at 24 hours. Additionally, it exhibited a flexural strength of 7.5 MPa after 24 hours. In contrast, conventional concrete typically reaches around 20.6 MPa (3,000 psi) after approximately 28 days, highlighting the rapid strength development of the UESC. This swift attainment of compressive strength represents a significant advancement for engineering purposes. Small amounts of steel fibers (0.5% and 1% by volume, respectively) were added to address potential concrete cracking due to early hydration heat and enhance mechanical properties. This allowed observation of the effects of different volume contents on ultra-early-strength fiber-reinforced concrete (UESFRC). Furthermore, the compressive strength of 0.5% and 1% UESFRC increased by 16.3% and 31.3%, respectively, while the flexural strength increased by 37.1% and 47.9%. Moreover, toughness increased by 58.2 and 69.7 times, respectively. These findings offer an effective solution for future emergency applications in public works.

The purpose of this study is to investigate toughening of unsaturated polyester resin by addition of polyuretane liquid rubber. In general, unsaturated polyester resin has strong brittleness in spite of its high strength Therefore; it is difficult to use unsaturated polyester mortar for the place where impact resistance is demanded. In this study, it was evaluated strength and Gf by using to polyurethane liquid rubber. As a result, the toughness of unsaturated polyester mortar was increased by polyuretane liquid rubber.

The notched Charpy and Izod impact tests are the most prevalent techniques used to characterize the effects of high impulse loads on ploymeric materials. An analysis method for rubber toughened PVC is suggested to evaluate critical strain energy release rates(Gc) from the Charpy impact energy measurements. An Instrumented Charpy Impact tester was used to extract ancillary information concerning fracture properties in addition to total fracture properties and maximum critical loads. The stress intensity factor Kd was computed for varying amounts of rubber contents from the obtained maximum critical loads and also toughening effects were investigated as well.

It is well known that the aromatic polycarbonate of bisphenol A (hereafter BPA polycarbonate) possesses superior transparency, exceptional toughness, high heat resistance and mechanical properties, which allow it to be diversely used for automotive, electrical, electronic, appliance and optical industries. In this paper, polycarbonate is reviewed on not only prospects of technology but market trend from the industrial point of view. It also demonstrates the diverse applications of polycarbonates with respect to its development history.

This study evaluated mechanical characteristics of polymer concrete produced using waste lime stone aggregate. Study results showed that compressive strength, flexural strength, split tensile strength and fracture toughness were very high. Therefore, it was concluded that waste lime stone could be used as aggregate in polymer concrete production through appropriate processing.

The purpose of this study is to develop a high-strength, high-toughness, thin-walled aluminum shock absorber housing product by applying a high vacuum die casting method to improve internal gas defect and formability. The analysis program dedicated for the casting was used because it was too costly and time-consuming to adopt the gating system design. The final casting plan was designed based on the flow pattern of the material filled into the mold and the result of air pressure and air pocket after the material was completely filled in the mold. Gaty shape was designed as a split type. The runner was designed to have the same shape as the initial inlet curve of the cavity, and the flow of the molten metal was prevented from turbulent flow. The most favorable results were obtained when the injection speed was $V_2=4.0m/s$. Defects on pores were reduced by applying high vacuum level inside the mold.

Two sheets of high strength cement paste using ordinary Portland cement and water soluble polymer (polyacrylamide) were made by kneading with a twin roll mill. A carbon fiber layer out between two sheet of the cement paste, and then carbon fiber reinforced high strength cement composites were prepared by pressing them. The mechanical properties of the composites were investigated through the observation of the microstructure and the application of fracture mechanics. When the carbon fiber was added with 0.2 and 0.3wt% to the composites the flexural strength and Young's modulus were about 110∼116MPa and 74∼77GPa respectively, and critical stress intensity was about 3.14MPam1/2. It can be considered that the strength improvement of high strength cement fiber composites may be due to the removal of macropores and the increase of various fracture toughness effects; grain bridging, frictional interlocking, polymer fibril bridging and fiber bridging.

The ceramic has such high qualities as light weight, abrasion resistance, heat resistance compared with metal, but since it is breakable, it can't be used as structural material and it is desirable to joining metal which is full of toughness, but, according as the ceramic/metal joint is executed at high temperature, the joint residual stress develops near the joint sides in the process of cooling the high temperature down to the suitable temperature due to difference of the thermal expansion coefficient between ceramic and metal, and the joint residualstress lowers the fracture strength. In this study, to ensure security and improvement of bending strength, 1 studies on see distribution shape of residual stress according to high thermal cycle, and the influnence of theraml cycle and distribution shape of residual stess on joint-strength.

In this study, flexural strength by fiber reinforced for steel fiber and reinforced polyamide fiber concrete, and concrete fracture properties by improvement of flexural toughness and high-velocity projectile impact were evaluated. As a result, it was confirmed that flexural strength are improved by distribution of stress and suppress of cracks, and the back desquamation of concrete by high-velocity projectile impact is suppressed. In addition, It was observed that the spalling of rear is caused when tension stress is caused as shock wave by high-velocity projectile impact was transferred to the rear and tension stress is suppressed by fiber reinforcement.

Si$_3$N$_4$-6wt%Y$_2$O$_3$-lwt%Al$_2$O$_3$was prepared by hot pressed and gas pressure sintering to investigate the effect of microstructure on erosion behaviors. Hardness and fracture toughness were measured with prepared specimens to study the high temperature erosion properties. A gas blast type erosion tester was used In examine erosion behavior of the specimens up to 700$^{\circ}C$. In case of GPS silicon nitride, the erosion rate increases up to 500$^{\circ}C$ and decreases over 500$^{\circ}C$. Maximum erosion rate was observed at 300$^{\circ}C$ for HP silicon nitride. The principal factors affecting the high temperature erosive wear of brittle materials are largely dependent on high temperature properties of grain boundaries.
