The paper presents experimental and numerical investigations of prefabricated composite structural building reinforced concrete slabs with the insulating material for a residential building construction. The building slabs were composed of concrete and expanded polystyrene. In experiments, the slabs in the full-scale 1:1 were subjected to vertical concentrated loads and failed along a diagonal shear crack. The experiments were numerically evaluated using the finite element method based on two different constitutive continuum models for concrete. First, an elasto-plastic model with the Drucker-Prager criterion defined in compression and with the Rankine criterion defined in tension was used. Second, a coupled elasto-plastic-damage formulation based on the strain equivalence hypothesis was used. In order to describe strain localization in concrete, both models were enhanced in the softening regime by a characteristic length of micro-structure by means of a non-local theory. Attention was paid to the formation of critical diagonal shear crack which was a failure precursor.

This study proposed a new and efficient 2D damage-plasticity model within the framework of Isogeometric analysis (IGA) for the geometrically nonlinear damage analysis of concrete. Since concrete exhibits complicated material properties, two internal variables are introduced to measure the hardening/softening behavior of concrete in tension and compression, and an implicit gradient-enhanced formulation is adopted to restore the well-posedness of the boundary value problem. The numerical results calculated by the model is compared with the experimental data of three benchmark problems of plain concrete (three-point and four-point bending single-notched beams and four-point bending double-notched beam) to illustrate the geometrical flexibility, accuracy, and robustness of the proposed approach. In addition, the influence of the characteristic length on the numerical results of each problem is investigated.

In this paper, we present a 2D multi-scale coupling computation procedure for localized failure. When modeling the behavior of a structure by a multi-scale method, the macro-scale is used to describe the homogenized response of the structure, and the micro-scale to describe the details of the behavior on the smaller scale of the material where some inelastic mechanisms, like damage or plasticity, can be defined. The micro-scale mesh is defined for each multi-scale element in a way to fit entirely inside it. The two scales are coupled by imposing the constraint on the displacement field over their interface. An embedded discontinuity is implemented in the macro-scale element to capture the softening behavior happening on the micro-scale. The computation is performed using the operator split solution procedure on both scales.

Polymer composites offered broad engineered applications, however their diversity get restricted owing to fluctuations in thermomechanical properties during heating or cooling hence great concern required prior their applications through thermomechanical analysis (TMA). Traditionally, TMA or dilatometry found to be simple, ideal, reliable, sensitive, excellent and basic thermal analytical technique. TMA provides valuable information on thermal expansion, glass transitions temperature (Tg), softening points, composition and phase changes on material of having different geometries simply by applying a constant force as a function of temperature. This compilation highlights the basics and experimental of TMA for both research and technical applications and also provide literature on TMA of polymers, hybrid composites, nanocomposites and their diverse applications.

In this paper, we present the parameter identification for inelastic and multi-scale problems. First, the theoretical background of several fundamental methods used in the upscaling process is reviewed. Several key definitions including random field, Bayesian theorem, Polynomial chaos expansion (PCE), and Gauss-Markov-Kalman filter are briefly summarized. An illustrative example is given to assimilate fracture energy in a simple inelastic problem with linear hardening and softening phases. Second, the parameter identification using the Gauss-Markov-Kalman filter is employed for a multi-scale problem to identify bulk and shear moduli and other material properties in a macro-scale with the data from a micro-scale as quantities of interest (QoI). The problem can also be viewed as upscaling homogenization.

In this paper, the global study trends for material behaviors are investigated regarding the static and dynamic hardenings and final fractures of marine structural steels. In particular, after reviewing all of the papers published at the 4th and 5th ICCGS (International Conference on Collision and Grounding of Ship), the used hardening and fracture properties are summarized, explicitly presenting the material properties. Although some studies have attempted to employ new plasticity and fracture models, it is obvious that most still employed an ideal hardening rule such as perfect plastic or linear hardening and a simple shear fracture criterion with an assumed value of failure strain. HSE (2001) presented pioneering study results regarding the temperature dependency of material strain hardening at various levels of temperature, but did not show strain rate hardening at intermediate or high strain rate ranges. Nemat-Nasser and Guo (2003) carried out fully coupled tests for DH-36 steel: strain hardening, strain rate hardening, and temperature hardening and softening at multiple steps of strain rates and temperatures. The main goal of this paper is to provide the theoretical background for strain and strain rate hardening. In addition, it presents the procedure and methodology needed to derive the material constants for the static hardening constitutive equations of Ludwik, Hollomon, Swift, and Ramberg-Osgood and for the dynamic hardening constitutive equations of power from Cowper-Symonds and Johnson-Cook.

$K_2O{\cdot}CaO{\cdot}P_2O_5$를 기본조성으로 하여 용융법에 의해 유리 형성범위를 정의하고자 하였다. TG-DTA와 DSC를 이용하여 열적 특성을 관찰하고자 하였으며, FT-IR과 Raman Spectroscopy를 이용하여 구조를 분석하였다. $K_2O{\cdot}CaO{\cdot}P_2O_5$의 함량이 증가함에 따라 유리전이온도 및 연화온도는 감소하였다. $K_2O{\cdot}CaO{\cdot}P_2O_5$ 유리의 기본 구조는 이웃한 구조와 상호 결합을 위한 $PO_2$와 $PO_4^{3-}$ 구조와 유리의 골격구조를 이루는 P-O-P 결합이며, CaO의 함량이 증가함에 따라, 유리내의 P-O-P의 결합력은 점차적으로 증가하였으며, $PO_2$와 $PO_4^{3-}$의 intensity는 점차적으로 감소하였다.

The extent of materials deterioration can be evaluated accurately by mechanical test such as impact test or creep test. But it is almost impossible to extract a large test specimen from in-service components. Thus material degradation evaluation by non-destructive method is earnestly required. In this paper, the material degradation for virgin and several aged materials of a Cr-Mo-V steel, which is an candidated as structural material of the turbine casing components for electric power plant, is nondestructively evaluated by reactivation polarization testing method. And, the results obtained from the test are compared with those in small punch(SP) tests recommended as a semi-nondestructive testing method using miniaturized specimen. In contrast to the aged materials up to 1,000hrs which exhibit the degradation behaviors with increased ${\Delta}[DBTT]_{SP}$, the improvement of mechanical property can be observed on the 2,000hrs and 3,000hrs aged materials. This is because of the softening of material due to the carbide precipitation, the increase of ferritic structures and the recovery of dislocation microstructure by long-time heat treatment. The reactivation rates($I_R/I_{Crit},\;Q_R/Q_{Crit}$) calculated by reactivation current densityt ($I_R$) and charge($Q_R$) in the polarization curves exhibit a good correlation with ${\Delta}[DBTT]_{SP}$ behaviors.

본 연구에서는 습도 변화와 같은 물리적인 원인으로 보수체의 손상(표면 균열, 경계면 파괴)을 유발하는 표면 인장 응력과 기층과 보수층 단부 경계변의 연직 인장 응력 및 전단 응력이 해석적으로 조사되었다. 응력 계산 시에는 사용 재료의 비선형응력-변형률 곡선이 사용되었고, 특히 변형률 경화, 변형률 연화 특성이 고려되었다. 응력 계산은 보수층의 두께와 보수 재료를 변수로 하였다. 습도 변화에 의한 영향은 보수체가 장기간 공용된 후 수위 하강으로 인해 나타나는 현상(콘크리트 댐)과 보수 후 일정한 양생 기간 후에 거푸집을 제거했을 때 나타나는 현상의 두 가지 경우에 대해서 조사되었다 건조되기 전 보수체 표변의 초기 습도는 100%, 대기 습도는 55%로 가정하였고, 계산기간(양생＋건조기간)은 30일간으로 하였다. 상기 두 가지 경우에 대해서 응력을 계산한 결과, 보수체 표면에서는 일부 보수체(CM20, ECM25)에서 단지 변형률 연화 단계의 가상 균열이 발생되었다. 한편 단부 경계면에서는 양생 중에 부착 강도를 약간 상회하는 일부 보수체(CM20)를 제외하고는 부착 전단 파괴는 발생치 않았다. 습도 변화에서도 단부 경계면의 들뜸현상(Peel-Off)이 보수체 손상의 주요원인으로 나타났고, 이를 유발하는 연직 인장 응력은 공용 중에 건조되는 경우에는 보수층 두께 dO=1cm에서만 부착 강도보다 낮은 값을 유지하고, 보수 작업시 양생 후 대기에 노출되는 경우에는 1.5일 이내에 발현된 부착 강도를 초과하였다.

강도, 소전율, 스프링성, 내열성 및 굽힘 가공성등의 적절한 조화를 갖는 콘넥팅재료를 개발하기 위하여 Cu-Ni-Si-P합금에 대하여 연구하였다. Ni와 Si의 조성을 달리한 3종류의 합금을 용해, 주조하여 약 $900^{\circ}C$에 열간압연 후 수냉하고, 그 후 냉간압연하여 $450^{\circ}C$. $500^{\circ}C$ 및 $550^{\circ}C$에서 시효처리한 후 기계적 성질 변화와 도전율 등을 조사하였다. 고강도와 고존도율의 적절한 조화를 나타내는 Cu-2.7%Ni-0.53% Si-0.029%P 합금을 만들었다. 합금 1을 0.5mm두께의 콘넥팅재료로 가공한 후 여러가지 특성은 인청동(C 5210R-H)과 황동(C2600R-EH)에 비해 우수한 것으로 평가되었다.
