A fiber reinforced grouts were made using ordinary cement mortar and high effective water reducing agent (naphthalene sulfonate) were made by addition polypropylene fiber and carbon fiber. The physical properties of the grouts were investigated through the observation of the microstructure and the application of fracture mechanics. When the polypropylene fiber and carbon fiber were added respectively with 0.03 wt% to the grouts the compressive strength, flexural strength and Young's modulus were about 60∼63 MPa, 12.2∼12.4 MPa, 4.2∼4.8 GPa and 63∼68 MPa, 12.2∼12.6 MPa, 4.8∼5.1 GPa, and critical stress intensity were about 0.77∼0.82 MNm-1.5, and 0.80∼0.87 MNm-1.5 respectively, It can be considered that the strength improvement of fiber reinforced grouts (FRG) may be due to the removal of macropores and the increase of various fracture toughness, polymer fibril bridging and fiber bridging.

This paper has been considered on the cutting characteristics such as chip formation and surface roughness for Inconel 690 alloy with difficult-to-cut because of high toughness and strength. We have made efforts solving the problem to difficult-to-cut of Inconel by improvement of tool with TiN coating and the selection of optimum cutting condition. We used the CCD camera and the surface roughness tester to observe the chip formation and the state of machined surface by using the improved tool with diamond coating and various cutting condions. We have found that the chip formation showed the tooth shape of tooth blade and the surface roughness was very poor. but it can be better by selection of optimum cutting condition.

Cr-Mo low alloy steels have been used for a long time for pressure vessel due to its excellent corrosion resistance, high temperature strength and toughness. The paper reviewed the latest trends on material development and some problems on Cr-Mo low alloy steel for pressure vessel, such as elevated temperature strength, hardenability, synergetic effect between temper and hydrogen embrittlement, hydrogen attack and hydrogen induced disbonding of overlay weld-cladding.

In this study, the fracture phenomena of optical disks are discussed and then some recommendations are presented to prevent the fracture. The fracture occurs when disks have crack on the inner radius of the disks. Since the crack growth and the fracture result from the stress concentration on the tip of the crack, a measure should be taken to overcome the stress concentration. This problem can be resolved by the structural modification of a disk. This study proposes 3 types of improved optical disks, which are robust to the disk fracture due to the high spinning speed of a disk. The first type is a disk reinforced by wire rings, the second type is a disk added by texture fibers, and the third type is a rubber-coated disk.

$Y_2O_3$ $Er_2O_3$ and $Nd_2O_3$ doped polycrystalline silicon nitride were prepared by hot pressed sintering at $1850^{\circ}C$ and their optical transmittance were investigated in visible and in infrared region. Mechanical and tribological properties were also investigated. Grain growth in silicon nitride was reduced with addition of $Y_2O_3$ and $Nd_2O_3$. 1 wt.% of each rare earth metal were sintered with 3 wt.% MgO, 9wt.% AlN and 87 wt.% of ${\alpha}-Si_3N_4$. Adding these rare earth metal oxides shows good mechanical properties as high strength and toughness and also shows low friction coefficient.

Cordierite based glass ceramics has become an electronic substrate material for electronic circuits and the use of whickers for improving strength and toughness is evident. Pure cordierite containing 15 vol.% silicon nitride were sintered by hot-prossing and it has above 99% density. Especially, it is assumed that toughening increasing at the more high sintering temperature relevants to the glass phase increasing, as showned in the roughness of the fracture surfaces. It was directionally dependent of whisker drirection during processing.

The 400KN suspended insulator was fabricated with feldspar, quartz, clay and $Al_2O_3$ wt% for extra high voltage. These materials were grinded with ball milling for 25 hours after mixing them. The grinded materials were sintered at $1300^{\circ}C$ for 50 minutes in the tunnel kiln after mading with jiggering method. The sintered density of specimen was reached at 97% in comparison with that of theory. The specimen had the characteristic of temperature rise with the increase of electrical losses. Also, the flexural strength and the fracture toughness of sintered parts respectively were 1658 kg/$cm^2$ and 2.3 $MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$.

용접열영향부는 최고 도달온도로부터의 거리에 따른 온도구배 변화와 급격한 열 사이 클 때문에 조직 및 물성치의 변화가 예상되는 영역이므로 인성저하등 취성이 잠재적으로 내포된 지역임을 쉽게 예상할 수 있다. 따라서 송전 철탑용 STKT 590 용접열영향부에서의 상변태 거동과 미세조직의 변화에 따른 기계적 특성을 파악하여 용접부의 안전성 확보를 위해 용접열영향부(HAZ)의 상변태거동과 미시파괴기구를 연구하고 개선안을 도출할 필요가 있다.

Brittle materials such as ceramics and glasses show fragile fracture due to the low toughness and the crack sensitivity. When brittle materials are subjected to impact loading by small spheres, high contact pressure occurs to the surface of the specimen. Local damage is subsequently generated in the specimen. This local damage is a dangerous factor which gives rise to the final fracture of structures. In this research, impact damage of soda-lime glass plates by small spheres was evaluated by considering the effects of impact directions of indenter, pressure condition of specimen and residual strength after impact loading.

It is known that Si$_3$N$_4$ceramic insert has less hardness than A1$_2$O$_3$ceramic insert. But Si$_3$N$_4$ceramic insert has not only high toughness and strength but also low thermal expansion coefficient, which makes it has longer tool life under thermal stress condition. In this study, commercial Si$_3$N$_4$ ceramic insert and home-made SiC-Si$_3$N$_4$ceramic insert which has different sintering time and chemical composition is tested under various cutting conditions. The experimental result is compared in terms of tool life and cutting force. Generally, As the cutting speed and the feed rate increased, the cutting force and the flank wear increased too. The performance of SiC-Si$_3$N$_4$ceramic insert shows the possibility to be a new ceramic tool.
