The effect of the $\alpha$/$\beta$ phase fraction on the mechanical properties in silicon nitrides was investigated in part 1. In part II, we describe the role of microstructure on the mechanical properties and contact damage of silicon nitrides with coarse/equiaxed and coarse/elongated microstructures. Grain sizes and shapes were controlled by starting powder. Hertzian indentation using spherical indenter was also used to investigate contact damage behavior. Cone cracks from the spherical indentation were suppressed when the silicon nitride contains coarse and elongated grains. Coarse and elongated grains played an important role of cone crack suppression. The size of quasi-plastic zone does not depend on grain size or shape but depends on the fraction of $\alpha$/$\beta$ phase. A quasi-plastic zone was consisting of microcracks by shear stress during indentation.

In this work, effects of hyper-elastic rubber material properties on the indentation load-deflection curve and subindenter deformation are examined via finite element (FE) analyses. An optimal location for data analysis is selected, which features maximum strain energy density and negligible frictional effect. We then contrive two normalized functions, which map an indentation load vs. deflection curve into a strain energy density vs. first invariant curve. From the strain energy density vs. first invariant curve, we can extract the rubber material properties. This new spherical indentation approach produces the rubber material properties in a manner more effective than the common uniaxial tensile/com-pression tests. The indentation approach successfully measures the rubber material properties and the corresponding nominal stress-strain curve with an average error less than 3%.

For the structural integrity of large and complex structures such as railway vehicle, the in-field diagnosis of mechanical properties of the structures is needed, and especially, the mechanical characteristics of the weldment must be carefully evaluated. But, conventional standard testing methods having destructive procedures are not applicable to in-field assessment of mechanical property variations within weldment because they needs the limitations of specimen size and geometry. In this paper, to overcome this problems, the advanced indentation technique (AIS) is introduced for simple and non-destructive/in-field testing of weldment of industrial structures. This test measures indentation load-depth curve during indentation and analyzes the mechanical properties related to deformation and fracture. First of all, flow properties such as yield strength, tensile strength and work hardening index can be evaluated through the analysis of the deformation behavior beneath the spherical indenter. Additionally, case studies of advanced indentation techniques are introduced.

기존 단축 크리프시험에서는 천이 크리프의 영향을 무시하고 정상상태 크리프만을 고려하기 때문에 실제 크리프 특성을 나타내지 못한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 천이크리프를 고려한 압입 크리프 물성평가법을 제시한다. 다양한 재료에 대해 구형압입시험 전산모사를 이용해 크리프 물성변화에 따른 거동을 살펴보고, 크리프 특성을 무차원 변수들의 회귀식으로 표현한다. 이를 토대로 천이크리프를 고려한 압입 크리프 물성평가 프로그램을 생성했다. 제시한 물성평가 프로그램을 통해 압입 하중-변위 곡선으로부터 크리프지수, 계수값들을 각각 1.1%, 2.3% 오차범위에서 예측할 수 있다.

Metallic glasses are amorphous meta-stable solids and are now being processed in bulk form suitable for structural applications including impact. Bulk metallic glasses have many unique mechanical properties such as high yield strength and fracture toughness, good corrosion and wear resistance that distinguish them from crystalline metals and alloys. However, only a few studies could be found mentioning the dynamic response and damage of metallic glasses under impact or shock loading. In this study, we employed a small explosive detonator for the dynamic indentation on a Zr-based bulk amorphous metal in order to evaluate the damage behavior of bulk amorphous metal under impact loading. These results were compared with those of spherical indentation under quasi-static and impact loading. The interface bonded specimens were adopted to observe the appearances of subsurface damage induced during indentation under different loading conditions.

Indentation and small punch tests are very powerful methods to monitor the materials reliability since they are very simple, easy and almost non-destructive. First, recently-developed continuous indentation test can provide the more material properties such as hardness, elastic modulus, yield strength, work-hardening exponent, etc., than the conventional hardness test. In our study, the true stress-strain curve was derived from the indentation load-depth curve for spherical indentation. In detail, the strain was able to be obtained from plastic depth/contact radius ratio, and the flow stress was from mean contact pressure through the analysis of elastic-plastic indentation stress field. Secondly, the small punch test was studied to evaluate the fracture toughness and defomation properties such as elastic modulus and yield strength. Like the indentation test, this test can be applied without severe damage of the target structure.

In order to study the relationship between static and cynamic behaviors of silion caride, both quasi-static indentaiton and impact experiments of spherical particle have been conducted. The difference inmaterial behavior when using the two mehtods suggests a loading rate difference in the damate pattrern and fracture strength of silicon carbide. This investigation showed some difference in damage pattern according to particla property, especially inthe case of particle impact. There was no differences in deformation behaviors according to the loading rate when the crater profiles were compared with each other at the same contact radius. From the result of residual strength evaluation, it was found that the strength degradation began at the initiation of ring crack and its behavior was colsely related to morphologies of the damage developed which was also dependent upon the extent of deformation atthe loaidng point. In the case of static indentation, there didnot exist the particle property effects onthe strength degradation behavior.

Atomistic simulation of nanoindentation with spherical indenters was carried out to study dislocation structures, mean contact pressure, and nanohardness of Au and Al thin films. Slip vectors and atomic stresses were used to characterize the dislocation processes. Two different characteristics were found in the induced dislocation structures: wide-spread slip activities in Al, and confined and intact structures in Au. For both samples, the mean contact pressure varied significantly during the early stages of indentation but reached a steady value soon after the first apparent load drop. This indicates that the nanohardness of Al and Au is not affected by the indentation depth for spherical indenters, even at the atomistic scale.

Continuous indentation test is a very powerful method to monitor the materials reliability since it is very simple, easy and almost non-destructive. It can provide material properties such as elastic modulus, yield strength, work-hardening exponent, etc., than the conventional hardness test. In our study, the true stress-strain curve is derived from the indentation load-depth curve. For this, average indentation strain is defined and the flow stress is obtained from the analysis of the indentation stress field. The residual stress is analyzed from the variation of the indentation behavior with the applied residual stress. And the estimation of fracture characteristic is tried by considering the conventional fracture toughness modeling and the stress/strain state under the spherical indenter.

골다공증의 조기 발견 및 치료예후에도 영향을 미치는 망상골 구조의 영률(Young's Modulus)은 그 대상이 사람이므로 일반적인 인장 및 압축시험으로 구해내기는 불가능한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 망상골 구조가 지니고 있는 영률을 평가함에 있어서 구형압입시험을 통하여 망상골 구조의 영률을 구하고자 하였으며 이를 전산화단층촬영(CT)에서부터 얻을 수 있는 밀도와 실제 측정해서 얻은 밀도와의 관계를 정량화하고자 한다. 31세 남성의 좌우 원위 대퇴골을 해부학적 좌표를 고려하여 고정한 다음 GE9800 CT장비를 사용하여 Imm간격으로 단층촬영을 실시하였으며. 각 영상으로부터 CT수(HU)를 구하였다 Dliamond saw를 사용하여 좌우 대퇴골으로부터 72개의 8mm 정방형 시편들을 추출하였으며. 제작한 구형압입시험기를 사용하여 각 시편의 IS. AP. 그리고 ML방향으로의 압입시험과 압축시험을 각각 실시하였으며, 이후 시편의 실제 겉보기 밀도를 측정하였다. 그 결과 IS방향의 영률이 AP 및 ML방향보다 유의하게 크게 나타났으며, AP방향의 영률 역시 ML방향보다 유의하게 큰 영률을 나타냄을 통하여 망상골의 직교성을 알 수 있었다. CT수와 각 방향의 영률과의 관계에서도 선형적 관계보다는 멱관계로 보다 더 잘 설명되어짐을 알 수 있었는데 이는 이전의 연구자들과 동일한 결과임을 알 수 있었다
