Many pipes that are arranged longitudinally in ships have loops at intervals to prevent the failure of the pipes as they absorb large portions of the axial load caused by the bending of the hull girder and/or thermal loads when the pipes are carrying very hot fluids. Since the loops are curved at corners, an efficient method for conducting the structural analyses of these curved portions is required. In this paper, a pipe loop was analyzed by an analytical method and by the finite-element method in four different ways, i.e., based on straight-beam elements, curved-beam elements, 2-D shell elements, and 3-D solid elements. The results of the five analyses were compared to check the validity of the current curved-beam theory. The paper includes some suggestions on how to analyze the pipe loops efficiently.

In this study, a method to characterize material properties of adhesive that is used in a layered plates bonding process is developed by combined evaluation of experiment, simulation and optimization technique. A small bonded specimens of rectangular plate are prepared to this end, and put into a thermal loading conditions. $Moir{\acute{e}}$ interferomety is used to measure submicron displacements occurred during the process. The elevated temperature is chosen as control factors. FE analysis with constant values for the adhesive materials is also carried out to simulate the experiment. Significant differences are observed from the two results, in which the simulation predicts the monotonic increase of the bending displacement whereas the measurement shows decrease of the displacement at above $75^{\circ}C$. In order to minimize the difference of the two, material parameters of the adhesive at a number of different temperatures are posed as unknowns to be determined, and optimization is conducted. As a result, optimum material parameters are found that excellently matches the simulation and experiment, which are decreased with respect to the temperature.

A simply supported rectangular thin plate with temperature distribution varying over the thickness is analyzed. Since the thermal deflections are large compared to the plate thickness during bending and membrane stresses are developed md as such a nonlinear stress analysis is necessary. For the geometrically nonlinear, large deflection behavior of the plate, the classical von Karman equations are used. These equations are solved numerically by using the finite difference method. An iterative technique is employed to solve these quasi-linear algebraic equations. The results obtained from the suggested method are presented and discussed.

In this study, the fracture toughness $K_{IC}$ of high performance concrete (HPC) was determined by conducting three-point bending tests on eighty notched HPC beams of $500mm{\times}100mm{\times}100mm$ at high temperatures up to $450^{\circ}C$ (hot) and in cooled-down states (cold). When the concrete beams exposed to high temperatures for 16 hours, both thermal and hygric equilibriums were generally achieved. $K_{IC}$ for the hot concrete sustained a monotonic decrease tendency with the increasing temperature, with a sudden drop at $105^{\circ}C$. For the cold concrete, $K_{IC}$ sustained a two-stage decrease trend, dropping slowly with the heating temperature up to $150^{\circ}C$ and rapidly thereafter. The fracture energy-based fracture toughness $K_{IC}$' was found to follow similar decrease trends with the heating temperature. The weight loss, the fracture energy and the modulus of rapture were also evaluated.

This research carried out to investigate the effects of inorganic materials in paper sludge on the thermal degradation and of paper sludge addition on physical and mechanical properties of paper sludge-wood particle mixed boards in comparison with unmodified particleboards. Also these unmodified particleboards and paper sludge-wood particle mixed boards were soaked in aqueous solutions of fire-retardant chemicals(diammonium phosphate and zinc chloride), and their fire retardancy were tested by oxygen index method and ISO ignition test to determine the feasibility of paper sludge, industrial waste, as a recyclable resource in fabrication of fire-resisting panels for building material. Since the redrying of fire-retardant treated particleboards and paper sludge-wood particle mixed boards were made by press drying method, this process was a simple and effective method. On the other hand, flexural bending strength and internal bonding strength were also analysed to evaluate mechanical properties through standard method.

Carbon fiber (CF) reinforced polypropylene (PP) compositeis was increased to amount consumed. In this study, recycle of composites by recycle times. CF was containing 20%. Mechanical and interfacial propertis of CF/PP was evaluation for number of recycle time. Mechanical assessment of CF/PP was tension, bending, fatigue tension test and izod test method. Interfacial assessment of CF/PP was wettability test and FE-SEM of fracture surface method. Fiber and matrix was changed to recycle time. The more recycle of CF/PP, the more interfacial bonding was decreased. Because fiber and matrix was damaged to thermal damage. And then reinforced CF was shorter than original shape.

In the aerospace field, Carbon/Cork composites have been used for rocket propulsion systems as a light weight structural component with a high bending stiffness and high thermal insulation properties. For the fabrication of a carbon composite with a heat insulation cork part, the bonding properties between them are very important to determine the service life of the Carbon/Cork composite structure. In this study, the changes in the interfacial adhesion and mechanical properties of Carbon/Cork composites under accelerated aging conditions were investigated. The accelerated aging experiments were performed with different temperatures and humidity conditions. The properties of the aged Carbon/Cork composites were evaluated mainly with the interfacial strength. Finally, the lifetime prediction of the Carbon/Cork composites was performed with the long-term property data under accelerated conditions.

The effect of isothermal aging on the crystallization of $Fe_{78}B_{13}Si_9$ metallic glass has been investigated by electrical resistivity, X-ray measurements, bending test, thermal analysis and transmission electron microscpy. Amouphous $Fe_{78}B_{13}Si_9$ alloy was annealed isothermally for 5 to 1200 min. between $300^{\circ}C$ and $540^{\circ}C$. It has been found that close relation between relative resistivity and X-ray diffraction pattern showed. The crystalline peaks of ${\alpha}$-(Fe, Si) and $Fe_2B$ are detected by X-ray experiment. The crystalline phases observed by TEH show ${\alpha}$-(Fe, Si) and $Fe_2B$ with dendritic and cylindrical morphology, respectively. It has been also found that the embrittleness of aged samples rapidly increased with the crystallization and was shown before the crystallization.

It was studied to prepare high temperature heating elements using molybdenum disilicide($MoSi_2$). Molybdenum disilicide is widely used as material for manufacturing high temperature heating elements. $MoSi_2$ heating elements could be used at 1700-1900$^{\circ}C$. However, it is relatively expensive, and its demand depends on import. $MoSi_2$ powders was mixed with 4-5wt% of montmorillonites type bentonite as plasticizer and a small amount of $Si_3N_4$, $ThO_2$, and B as additives to prepare specimen of heating elements. Then, it was extruded, dried, sintered and machined followed by heating test. Effects of sintering conditions and amount of additives were investigated, It was sintered effectively at 1,350$^{\circ}C$ for five hours. Electrical resistivity was decreased with increasing of sintering temperature and time, and related with apparent density of the specimens. It was linealy decreased with increasing of sintered density. The heating elements thus prepared was stable at 1700$^{\circ}C$ and the physical properties such as specific electrical resistivity, hardness, apparent density, thermal expansion coefficient, and bending strength were almost identical with those of commercial heating elements.

The cordierite powders were prepared from Mg(NO3)2.6H2O, Al(NO3)3.9H2O and colloidal silica by the coprecippitation method, and the sintering behavior of the powders were investigated. Two different methods were applied for producing the precursor powders. The one was to added the aqueous solution of Mg(NO3)2.6H2O and Al(NO3)3.9H2O to NH4OH to adjust pH at 10 where the colloidal silica of pH 10 was added. The other wa to add the aqueous solution of Mg(NO3)2.6H2O and Al(NO3)3.9H2O to the colloidal silica with NH4OH to control the final mixture to be at pH 10. It was confirmed that more homogeneous powders were obtained from the latter method. The firing linear shrinkage of the powder compacts fabricated from the calcined powder between 90$0^{\circ}C$ and 110$0^{\circ}C$ was found to be larger as the calcination temperature was low. But all of them stopped shrinking around 120$0^{\circ}C$. The powder compacts, fabricated using the calcined powders at 90$0^{\circ}C$ and 95$0^{\circ}C$ for 2hours and sintered at 142$0^{\circ}C$ for 2hours, showed relative density of 93-96%, 3-point bending strength of 81-83MPa, KIC of 1.9-2.4 MPam1/2 and thermal expansion coefficient of 0.213-0.732$\times$10-6$^{\circ}C$.
