The tensile strength of unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced plastics under a high strain rate was experimentally investigated. A high-strain-rate test was performed using the tension-type split Hopkinson bar technique. In order to obtain the tensile stress-strain relations, a special fixture was used for the impact tensile specimen. The experimental results demonstrated that the tensile modulus and strength in the longitudinal direction are independent of the strain rate. In contrast, the tensile properties in the transverse direction and the shear properties increase with the strain rate. Moreover, it was observed that the strain-rate dependence of the shear strength is much stronger than that of the transverse strength. The tensile strength of off-axis specimens was measured using an oblique tab, and the experimental results were compared with the tensile strength predicted based on the Tsai-Hill failure criterion. It was concluded that the tensile strength can be characterized quite well using the above failure criterion under dynamic loading conditions.

Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS), polycarbonate (PC) and their alloys are an important class of engineering thermoplastics that are widely used for automotive industry, computer and equipment housings. For the process of recycling mixtures of ABS and PC, it is desirable to know how sensitive the blend properties are to changes in compositions. It was for this reason that blends of virgin ABS and virgin PC at five different compositions, namely, $15\%,\;30\%,\;50\%,\;70%$ and $85\%$ by weight of ABS were prepared and characterised by rheological and mechanical measurements. Rheological properties of these blends in steady, oscillatory and transient step shear and mechanical properties, namely, tensile strength, elongation-at-break and Izod impact strength are reported. The results show that PC behaves in a relatively Newtonian manner, but ABS exhibits significant shear thinning. The ABS-rich blends show a trend that is similar to that of ABS, while PC-rich blends, namely $0\%$ and $15\%$, exhibit a nearly Newtonian behaviour. However, at a fixed shear rate or frequency, the steady shear or the dynamic viscosity varied respectively in a non-mono-tonic manner with composition. Except for $15\%$ blend, the viscosities of other blends fall into a narrow band indicating a wide-operation window of varying blend ratio. The blends exhibited a lower viscosity than either of the two pure components. The other noticeable feature was that the blends at $70\%$ and $85\%$ ABS content had a higher G' than pure ABS, indicating an enhancement of elastic effect. The tensile yield strength of the blends followed the 'rule of mixtures' showing a decreasing value with the increase of ABS content in PC. However, the elongation-at-break and the impact strength did not appear to obey this 'rule of mixtures,' which suggests that morphology of the blends also plays a significant role in determining the properties. Indeed, scanning electron micrographs of the fracture surfaces of the different blends validate this hypothesis, and the $15\%$ blend is seen to have the most distinct morphology and correspondingly different behaviour and properties.

For the OPR1000, a standard power plant in Korea, an analytical model of the containment building considering voids and deterioration was built with multilayer shell elements. Voids were placed in the vulnerable parts of the analysis model, and the deterioration effects of concrete and rebar were reflected in the material model. To check the impact of voids and deterioration on the seismic performance of the containment building, iterative push-over analysis was performed on four cases of the analytical model with and without voids and deterioration. It was found that the effect of voids with a volume ratio of 0.6% on the seismic performance of the containment building was insignificant. The effect of strength reduction and cross-sectional area loss of reinforcement due to deterioration and the impact of strength increase of concrete due to long-term hardening offset each other, resulting in a slight increase in the lateral resistance of the containment building. To determine the limit state that adequately represents the seismic performance of the containment building considering voids and deterioration, the Ogaki shear strength equation, ASCE 43-05 low shear wall allowable lateral displacement ratio, and JEAC 4601 shear strain limit were compared and examined with the analytically derived failure point (ultimate point) in this study.

본 연구에서는 폐기되는 고전압용 전선으로부터 얻어질 수 있는 XLPE(crosslinked polyethylene)의 재활용에 관하여 고찰하였다. XLPE 스크랩 및 폐기물의 분쇄를 위해 약 $100{\mu}m$ 이하부터 약 $1000{\mu}m$까지 입자크기의 조절이 가능한 두 종류의 분쇄기를 사용하였다. 모듈라 치합형 동방향회전 이축 스크류식 압출기(modular intermeshing co-rotating twin screw extruder)를 이용하여 폐 XLPE의 조성, 폐 XLPE의 입자크기 및 종류, 스크류 조합, 매트릭스 수지의 종류(LDPE, HDPE, PP, PS) 조건을 변화시키면서 배합물을 제조하고 그들의 기계적 및 유변학적 특성과 파단면을 조사하였다. 일반적으로 내외 전도층을 포함한 폐 XLPE 배합물의 충격강도는 내외 전도층을 제외한 배합물보다 충격강도가 작은 것으로 나타났다. 또한, XLPE의 함량이 증가하고 입자크기가 작아 질수록 배합물의 충격강도가 증가하였다. 특히, LDPF의 경우 XLPE를 약 80 wt%까지 충전하여도 정상조건의 압출공정이 가능하였다. 스크류조합에 따른 배합물의 충격강도는 니딩디스크 블록(kneading disc block)의 수가 많을수록 높은 값을 나타내었다. 전체적으로 XLPE의 양이 증가할수록 배합물의 용융점도가 증가하였으나, 압출 전단속도 범위에서 shear thinning 경향을 나타내었다. 폐 XLPE를 범용 고분자수지와 혼합할 경우, LDPE, HDPE, PP 및 PS 모든 배합물에서 충격강도가 증가하였다. 특히, PS/XLPE 배합물의 경우에는 충격강도가 2 배정도 향상되는 효과를 보여주었다.

As the main lateral load resisting system in high-rise reinforced concrete structures, the mechanical performance of shear wall has a significant impact on the structure, especially for high-rise buildings. Steel corrosion has been recognized as an important factor affecting the mechanical performance and durability of the reinforced concrete structures. To investigate the effect on the seismic behaviour of corroded reinforced concrete shear wall induced by corrosion, analytical investigations and simulations were done to observe the effect of corrosion on the ultimate seismic capacity and drift capacity of shear walls. To ensure the accuracy of the simulation software, several validations were made using both non-corroded and corroded reinforced concrete shear walls based on some test results in previous literature. Thereafter, a parametric study, including 200 FE models, was done to study the influence of some critical parameters on corroded structural shear walls with boundary element. These parameters include corrosion levels, axial force ratio, aspect ratio, and concrete compressive strength. The results obtained would then be used to propose equations to predict the seismic resistance and drift capacity of shear walls with various corrosion levels.

PURPOSES : A tack coat has been utilized to increase the bond performance between the surface layer and base course (intermediate course) at various road pavement sites. This is similarly true in other nations. Based on this connection, the objective of the present study is to evaluate the properties of hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures with an RSC-4 or BD-Coat and determine the application rate of the tack coat. METHODS : The HMA specimens were manufactured using superpave gyratory compaction. The HMA mixtures were composed of a 5-cm thick surface layer and a 10-cm thick base course. An impact hammer resonance test (IHRT) and a static load shear test were conducted to evaluate the performance of the HMA mixtures with a tack coat. From these tests, the dynamic moduli related to the high-frequency resistance and interlayer shear strength (ISS) of HMA could be obtained. RESULTS : The results of the dynamic moduli of HMA are discussed based on the resonance frequency (RF). To check the accuracy of the IHRT, we conducted a coherence analysis. A direct shear test using the application of a static load test was carried out to evaluate the interlayer shear strength (ISS) of HMA. CONCLUSIONS : The maximum ISS was demonstrated at an RSC-4 application rate of 462 gsm, and the maximum dynamic modulus was demonstrated at an RSC-4 application rate of 306 gsm. By averaging the results of the ISS, the maximum ISS values were obtained when a BD-Coat application rate of 602 gsm was applied.

본 연구에서는 Sn-0.7Cu-xZn 무연솔더와 OSP 표면처리 된 솔더접합부의 전단강도를 Zn 함유량에 따라 평가하였다. 다섯 종류의 Sn-0.7Cu-xZn (x=0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 wt.%) 솔더페이스트를 제작한 뒤, OSP(organic solderability preservative) 표면처리 한 PCB(printed circuit board) 기판의 전극에 리플로우 공정으로 180 um 직경의 솔더볼을 형성하였다. 전단강도는 두 가지 조건의 전단속도(0.01, 0.1 m/s)로 고속전단시험(high speed shear test)을 통해 측정하였고, 고속전단시험 시에 측정된 F-x(Force-distance) curve를 통해 파괴에너지(fracture energy)를 계산하였다, SEM(주사전자현미경, scanning electron microscopy)과 EDS(energy dispersive spectroscopy) 분석을 통하여 단면과 파단면을 관찰하였고, 금속간 화합물(intermetallic compound, IMC) 층을 분석하였다. Zn 함유량이 증가함에 따라 금속간 화합물 층의 두께는 감소하였고, Zn 함유량이 0.5 wt.%일 때 가장 높은 전단 강도(shear strength)를 나타내었다. 전체적으로 높은 전단속도 조건의 전단강도 값이 낮은 전단속도 조건의 전단강도보다 높았다.

In this study, carbon fiber/epoxy (CF/EP) composites were interleaved with aramid nonwoven veils with an areal weight density of $8.5g/m^2$ to improve their Mode-I fracture toughness. The control and aramid interleaved CF/EP composite laminates were manufactured by VARTM in a [0]4 configuration. Tensile, three-point bending, compression, interlaminar shear, Charpy impact and Mode-I (DCB) fracture toughness values were determined to evaluate the effects of aramid nonwoven fabrics on the mechanical performance of the CF/EP composites. Thermomechanical behavior of the specimens was investigated by Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA). The results showed that the propagation Mode-I fracture toughness values of CF/EP composites can be significantly improved (by about 72%) using aramid nonwoven fabrics. It was found that the main extrinsic toughening mechanism is aramid microfiber bridging acting behind the crack-tip. The incorporation of these nonwovens also increased interlaminar shear and Charpy impact strength by 10 and 16.5%, respectively. Moreover, it was revealed that the damping ability of the composites increased with the incorporation of aramid nonwoven fabrics in the interlaminar region of composites. On the other hand, they caused a reduction in in-plane mechanical properties due to the reduced carbon fiber volume fraction, increased thickness and void formation in the composites.

In this study, in regard to fiber reinforced mortar mixing steel fiber and 4types of organic fiber, impact test was carried out. Because to predict fracture reduction performance with flexural, tensile strength when types of fiber were different as impact reduction performance of concrete is closely related with toughness such as flexural strength, tensile strength and fracture energy etc. As a result, enhancement of toughness by fiber reinforcement controls the spall of rear. On the other hand in case of steel fiber relatively turned up high toughness in appropriate load compared with organic fiber but in same mixing rate, impact reduction performance by projectile showed low performance due to few number of an individual of mixing.

An experimental research work for the fracture and notch strength of thick laminates has been performed to develop high quality composite notches for structural use. Thus, the multi-directional laminates are designed and compared to the baseline aluminum. The difference of notch strength caused by manufacturing techniques is also discussed. The notches of selected materials are evaluated by the static test and low-velocity impact test. Failure modes are also observed and assessed. Material design is evaluated by the FEA(finite element analysis) and confirmed by experiments. The successful results are obtained for thick composite notches, which shows higher strength than aluminum notches.
